Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0042] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery maintenance device 10 for performing one or more functions of testing, discharging, and charging a battery.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The battery maintenance device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a base 100 and a tray 200. The base 100 includes a base body 110, a maintenance controller 120 and a conductive component. The maintenance controller 120 and the conductive component are both connected to the base body 110, and the conductive component is electrically connected to the maintenance controller 120. The tray 200 includes a disk body 210 detachably arranged on the base body 110 and a transfer controller 220. The disk body 210 is provided with a battery placement position for placing batteries and a transfer controller 220. The transfer controller 220 can be connected to the maintenance controller 120 when the disk body 210 is placed toward the base body 110, so that the maintenance controller 120 can perform maintenance on the battery.

[0044] Among them, the maintenance controller 120 and the transfer controller 220 can be any appropriate hardware controllers, such as: printed circuit board (PBC), flexible printed circuit (FPC), central processing unit (CPU), digital signal processing chip (DSP) and application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), etc.

[0045] A maintenance circuit is provided on the maintenance controller 120, and maintenance and maintenance work such as testing, discharging and charging of the battery can be performed through the maintenance circuit. The conductive components can be made of materials such as copper, aluminum, graphite or conductive ceramics, and can be connected to the maintenance circuit on the maintenance controller 120 by soldering or wire connection.

[0046] The transfer controller 220 is provided with a transfer circuit and an adapter. The adapter is used to connect to the battery to connect the battery and the transfer circuit. The transfer circuit can be adapted according to different battery models. That is, different battery models have a transfer controller 220 of a corresponding model.

[0047] When the disk 210 is placed on the base 110 in the direction facing the base 110, the maintenance circuit on the maintenance controller 120 is connected to the transfer circuit on the transfer controller 220 through the conductive component, so that the battery can be connected to the maintenance circuit through the transfer circuit, and then the maintenance circuit can be used to perform maintenance work such as testing, discharging and charging on the battery.

[0048] For different types of batteries, the corresponding type of adapter controller 220 can be replaced on the tray 210, or the tray 200 with the corresponding type of adapter controller 220 can be directly replaced, so that the adapter controller 220 can be used to quickly adapt and connect the battery to the maintenance controller 120 in the base 100, thereby improving the maintenance and inspection efficiency of the battery and shortening the maintenance and inspection time of the battery.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 The transfer controller 220 is provided with a conductive contact 221 , and the conductive component can abut against the conductive contact 221 when the disk body 210 is placed toward the base body 110 .

[0050] The conductive contact piece 221 may also be made of materials such as copper, aluminum, graphite or conductive ceramics, and may also be connected to the switching circuit on the switching controller 220 by soldering or wire connection.

[0051] When the disk body 210 is placed on the base body 110, the conductive component contacts the conductive contact 221. Since the conductive component and the conductive contact 221 are both made of conductive materials, the conductive component and the conductive contact 221 can be used to connect the maintenance circuit in the maintenance controller 120 and the transfer circuit in the transfer controller 220, thereby realizing the adaptive connection between the battery and the maintenance circuit.

[0052] In some embodiments, the conductive component includes a conductive probe 130 . The conductive probe 130 is electrically connected to the maintenance controller 120 , and an end of the conductive probe 130 abuts against the conductive contact 221 .

[0053] The conductive probe 130 can have any shape. For example, the conductive probe 130 can be cylindrical and vertically mounted on the base 100. The bottom end of the conductive probe 130 is connected to the maintenance controller 120 via a wire, and the top end of the conductive probe 130 abuts against the conductive contact 221 of the adapter controller 220. The top of the conductive probe 130 can be spherical to reduce the contact area between the conductive probe 130 and the conductive contact 221, thereby lowering the point contact resistance between the conductive probe 130 and the conductive contact 221.

[0054] In some embodiments, the number of the conductive probes 130 is at least two. The at least two conductive probes 130 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the conductive contact sheet 221 and are in contact with the conductive contact sheet 221 .

[0055] For example, refer to Figure 3 The conductive component includes two conductive probes 130, which can be arranged in parallel in the maintenance circuit of the maintenance controller 120. When any one of the conductive probes 130 abuts against the conductive contact 221, or when the two conductive probes 130 abut against the conductive contact 221 at the same time, the maintenance controller 120 and the transfer controller 220 can be connected.

[0056] Using at least two conductive probes 130 to abut against the conductive contact piece 221 simultaneously can improve the stability of the abutment and communication between the conductive component and the conductive contact piece 221 and avoid poor contact caused by external factors such as vibration.

[0057] Multiple conductive components and multiple conductive contacts 221 may be provided between each transfer controller 220 and the corresponding maintenance controller 120. The number of conductive components and conductive contacts 221 is the same, and the specific number may be matched according to the number of lines required to connect between the maintenance circuit and the transfer circuit. The number of conductive probes 130 in each conductive component may be one or more.

[0058] For example, refer to Figure 4 The number of the conductive components and the number of the conductive contacts 221 are both four, and at least two conductive probes 130 are provided in each conductive component.

[0059] Along the first direction, the conductive probes 130 in each conductive component represent a positive current probe 130a, a negative current probe 130b, a positive voltage probe 130c, and a negative voltage probe 130d, respectively. The conductive contacts 221 represent a positive current contact 221a, a negative current contact 221b, a positive voltage contact 221ca, and a negative voltage contact 221d, respectively. The positive current probe 130a abuts against the positive current contact 221a, the negative current probe 130b abuts against the negative current contact 221b, the positive voltage probe 130c abuts against the positive voltage contact 221c, and the negative voltage probe 130d abuts against the negative voltage contact 221d, thereby connecting the positive current, negative current, positive voltage, and negative voltage lines between the repair circuit and the transfer circuit.

[0060] In some embodiments, multiple trays 200 are set on the base 100, and each tray 200 is set with multiple battery placement positions, each battery placement position corresponds one-to-one to each adapter controller 220, the number of maintenance controllers 120 is the same as the number of adapter controllers 220, and each maintenance controller 120 corresponds one-to-one to each adapter controller 220.

[0061] For example, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The base 100 is provided with three trays 200, which are arranged in parallel. Each tray 200 has multiple battery placement positions and a corresponding number of transfer controllers 220. The number of maintenance controllers 120 provided on the base 100 is the same as the total number of transfer controllers 220 on the three trays 200. Each maintenance controller 120 corresponds to a transfer controller 220.

[0062] The adapter controller 220 on each tray 200 can be replaced according to the battery model being maintained, so that different battery models can be quickly adapted and connected to the maintenance controller 120. This allows for simultaneous maintenance of multiple batteries, achieving batch maintenance and further improving battery maintenance efficiency.

[0063] In some embodiments, the base 100 is provided with a mounting cavity 1102 , and the maintenance controller 120 is disposed in the mounting cavity 1102 to protect the maintenance controller 120 .

[0064] For example, refer to Figure 6 The base 100 may include a first support member 111, a second support member 112, and a third support member 113. The first support member 111 and the second support member 112 are both horizontally arranged rectangular structures. The second support member 112 is arranged below the first support member 111. There are four third support members 113, which are respectively arranged around the first support member 111. The top ends of the third support members 113 are connected to the first support member 111 and the bottom ends are connected to the second support member 112, so as to form a mounting cavity 1102 between the first support member 111 and the second support member 112.

[0065] The maintenance controller 120 can be installed on the upper surface of the second support member 112 by fasteners such as screws, and the second support member 112 can be provided with first ventilation holes 1103. The number of first ventilation holes 1103 is the same as the number of maintenance controllers 120. Each maintenance controller 120 is correspondingly covered and installed at each first ventilation hole 1103, so as to utilize the first ventilation holes 1103 to reduce the contact area between the maintenance controller 120 and the second support member 112, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity of the maintenance controller 120.

[0066] Each third support member 113 may be provided with a plurality of second ventilation holes 1104 , which are in communication with the installation cavity 1102 , so as to increase air circulation within the installation cavity 1102 and further improve the heat dissipation effect inside the installation cavity 1102 .

[0067] Recombination Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 110 has a contact surface 1101, and the conductive contact 221 can contact the conductive component when the disk body 210 contacts the contact surface 1101. At least a portion of the conductive component protrudes from the contact surface 1101, and the disk body 210 is provided with a clearance hole 2101, and at least a portion of the conductive contact 221 is exposed at the opening of the clearance hole 2101.

[0068] The abutment surface 1101 can be the upper surface of the base 110, that is, the upper surface of the first support. The conductive probe 130 can be vertically mounted on the first support 111. The first support 111 has a mounting hole defined therein for mounting the conductive probe 130. The conductive probe 130 is embedded in the mounting hole, with a portion of the conductive probe 130 protruding from the upper surface of the first support 111 and the remaining portion located within the mounting cavity 1102. The conductive probe 130 is connected to the maintenance controller 120 via a wire.

[0069] The position of the clearance hole 2101 on the disk body 210 is set corresponding to the position of the conductive probe 130. After the disk body 210 is placed on the abutment surface 1101, the part of the conductive probe 130 protruding from the upper surface of the base 100 is inserted into the connecting hole to make low contact with the lower surface of the conductive contact 221 exposed at the opening of the connecting hole in the connecting hole, thereby realizing the connection between the transfer controller 220 and the maintenance controller 120.

[0070] In some embodiments, the tray 200 further includes a battery holder 230 , which is disposed on the upper surface of the tray body 210 . The battery holder 230 is provided with a positioning groove 2301 , and the inner side of the positioning groove 2301 is a battery placement position.

[0071] The shape of the positioning groove 2301 can be adapted to the shape of the battery so that the bottom of the battery can be embedded in the positioning groove 2301, maintaining the battery's position stable during maintenance. Each battery holder 230 can have multiple positioning grooves 2301, and multiple battery holders 230 can be simultaneously arranged on the tray 200. For example, the tray 200 can be provided with two battery holders 230 arranged at intervals, each battery holder 230 having multiple positioning grooves 2301, to form multiple battery placement positions on the tray 200.

[0072] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the abutment surface 1101 is provided with a positioning pin 140 , and the tray 200 is provided with a positioning hole 2102 . The positioning pin 140 can be inserted into the positioning hole 2102 when the tray body 210 abuts against the abutment surface 1101 .

[0073] The tray body 210 may be provided with a plurality of positioning holes 2102. For example, each tray body 210 may be provided with at least two positioning holes 2102, and the positioning holes 2102 are located between the two battery holders 230. The positioning pins 140 are provided on the upper surface of the first support body in the seat body 110, and the number and location of the positioning pins 140 match the number and location of the positioning holes 2102 on the support plate body.

[0074] When the disk body 210 is placed against the abutment surface 1101, the positioning pin 140 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 2102 to position and fix the position of the disk body 210, so that each conductive component can be accurately inserted into the clearance hole 2101 and accurately abut against the corresponding conductive contact 221 of the adapter controller 220.

[0075] The top of the positioning pin 140 may be provided with a conical surface to guide the installation of the tray 200 .

[0078] A plurality of sliding devices 30 may be installed in the box body 20 , and the plurality of sliding devices 30 are arranged in a vertical direction, and a battery repair device 10 is provided on each sliding device 30 .

[0079] An opening communicating with the inspection cavity 201 may be provided on one side of the housing 20, with a portion of the sliding device 30 located at the opening. The sliding device 30 may be slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 20 via a guide rail, a slide rail, or the like, so that the sliding device 30 can pass through the opening to enter and exit the inspection cavity 201. The base 100 of the battery inspection device 10 may be fixed to the sliding device 30, so that the sliding device 30 can be used to move the battery inspection device 10 through the opening to enter and exit the inspection cavity 201.

[0080] When using the battery maintenance device 10 to perform battery maintenance, the device 10 can be pushed into the maintenance chamber 201 to ensure the stability of the battery during maintenance.
