[0042] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the OT terminal connection structure of the present invention includes an OT terminal 1, a locking frame 2, a locking nut 3 and a retaining frame 4, which is used for testing the battery 100;
[0044] The battery detection device of the present invention includes the above-mentioned OT terminal connection structure.
[0045] Among them, the OT terminal 1 is a wiring terminal, which is usually used to connect wires to electrical equipment or other conductors.
[0046] like Figures 2-4 As shown, an OT terminal 1 is provided on each of the positive and negative poles of the battery 100; a locking frame 2 is connected to the two OT terminals 1 to limit the relative position of the two OT terminals 1; a locking nut 3 is threadedly connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery 100 to tighten the OT terminals 1;
[0047] As in the above structure, when testing, the OT terminal 1 is used to connect the test harness to detect the resistance of the battery 100;
[0048] During installation, install an OT terminal 1 on each of the positive and negative poles of the battery 100, and then use the locking bracket 2 to connect the two OT terminals 1. The two OT terminals 1 can be relatively limited by the poles of the battery 100. Finally, connect the locking nut 3 to the poles to lock the OT terminals 1.
[0049] Since the OT terminal 1 is limited by the locking frame 2, the OT terminal 1 will not rotate when installing the locking nut 3 or adjusting the tightness of the locking nut 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the OT terminal 1 and the detection harness, and further ensuring the accuracy of the test results.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the locking frame 2 includes a plate frame 21, a clamping plate 22, and a limiting rod 23. The plate frame 21 has limiting grooves 201 at both ends to form four clamping plates 22. The OT terminal 1 is clamped in the limiting grooves 201. The limiting rod 23 is provided on one clamping plate 22 and passes through the other clamping plate 22.
[0051] As shown in the above structure, when setting up the OT terminal connection structure, the OT terminal 1 can be first clamped into the limiting groove 201 of the board frame 21, and then the limiting rod 23 can be passed through an opposite clamping plate 22. In this way, the ends of the two clamping plates 22 on one side of the board frame 21 are closed, and a fixed connection with the OT terminal can be achieved.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the locking frame 2 further includes a limit block 24, which is located in the limit groove 201 and connected to one of the clamping plates 22. The limit block 24 is located between the limit rod 23 and the plate frame 21;
[0053] As shown in the above structure, in order to further ensure the stability of the OT terminal 1, the OT terminal 1 will not contact the limit rod 23 after being clamped by the locking frame 2, but will be limited by the limit block 24. This can make the OT terminal 1 fit tightly with the locking frame 2 and will not loosen.
[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of limit blocks 24 are provided in the limit slot 201, and the plurality of limit blocks 24 are spaced apart;
[0055] As shown in the above structure, the locking frame 2 is clamped to the OT terminal 1 through the limiting groove 201, and is limited by the limiting block 24. In this way, by setting multiple limiting blocks 24 in the limiting groove 201 of the locking frame 2, multiple limiting spaces are formed, which can conveniently adjust the distance between the two OT terminals 1, and thus be suitable for battery detection of different models.
[0056] In some embodiments, the pole of the battery 100 is connected to the busbar, and the OT terminal 1 only needs to be connected to the busbar.
[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the limiting rod 23 is arranged on the limiting block 24; thereby, the length of the locking frame 2 can be shortened, ensuring a more compact structure.
[0058] like Figure 5As shown, the OT terminal 1 includes a first connecting portion 11, a second connecting portion 12 and a third connecting portion 13 connected to each other, wherein the first connecting portion 11 is sleeved on the pole of the battery 100; the second connecting portion 12 is clamped with the locking frame 2; and the third connecting portion 13 is used to connect the detection harness;
[0059] As shown in the above structure, the OT terminal 1 is divided into three parts, wherein the first connecting part 11 is opened to fit the pole of the battery 100, the second connecting part 12 is clamped with the locking frame 2, and the third connecting part 13 is bent to clamp the detection harness.
[0060] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the retaining frame 4 is connected to the locking frame 2 and clamps the battery 100;
[0061] As in the above structure, in order to further ensure the stability of the locking frame 2 and the OT terminal 1 relative to the battery 100, the locking frame 2 and the battery 100 are connected through the retaining frame 4 to ensure structural stability.
[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, the holder 4 includes a top plate 41 and side plates 42, wherein the top plate 41 is pressed on the battery 100 and has a through hole 401; two side plates 42 are provided on the side of the top plate 41, and the two side plates 42 clamp the battery 100;
[0063] As shown in the above structure, the holder 4 is composed of a top plate 41 and a side plate 42, and its overall structure is n-shaped, so that it is easy to snap onto the battery 100, and the battery 100 can be clamped and connected using the side plate 42;
[0064] Specifically, the top plate 41 is connected to the plate frame 21 of the locking frame 2 in a detachable manner, for example, by using detachable fasteners such as bolts, so that the locking frame 2 can be easily replaced when it is damaged.
[0065] The battery detection device of the present invention further includes an ohmmeter, which is electrically connected to the OT terminal 1;
[0066] As shown in the above structure, the battery testing device detects the effect of the tightness of the OT terminal on the resistance during testing;
[0067] During the test, the locking nut 3 is adjusted with a torque wrench under the same charge and discharge current conditions to adjust the tightness of the connection between the OT terminal 1 and the pole of the battery 100. The resistance meter is used to record the maximum contact resistance under different torque conditions. Then, the corresponding test system is used to measure the battery temperature, capacity and other parameters, and then the corresponding relationship between different contact resistances and battery capacity and temperature rise is obtained.
[0068] Specific implementation steps:
[0069] First, fix the two OT terminals 1 relative to each other through the locking frame 2, then connect the locking frame 2 to the retaining frame 4, and snap the retaining frame 4 onto the battery 100. Connect the OT terminal 1 to the pole of the battery 100, and connect the detection harness clamped by the OT terminal 1 to the test system, and then you can start testing.
[0070] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
