Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of voltage detection, in particular to a voltage reading device. Background Art
[0002] In the current supercapacitor module production sector, continuous technological advancements and increasing product quality requirements are placing more stringent and detailed demands on capacitor module testing. Traditionally, voltage testing of capacitor modules has primarily focused on overall voltage testing. However, modern production processes and customer demands are no longer satisfied with simply evaluating overall voltage; instead, precise voltage measurements are required for each individual capacitor within the module.
[0003] Currently, the most widely used voltage testing method in the market still relies on manual measurement using a multimeter. While intuitive, this method has numerous drawbacks. First, because capacitor modules typically consist of a large number of individual capacitors (for example, the 160V, 12F supercapacitor module described above contains 64 cells), manual measurement is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to human error. Second, while random inspections can improve efficiency to a certain extent, they cannot guarantee accurate voltage data for all individual capacitors, potentially impacting overall product quality and reliability.

[0033] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. 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.
[0034] The following combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The voltage reading device of the present invention is described. The voltage reading device is mainly used for detecting a capacitor module and for measuring the voltage of each single capacitor in the capacitor module.
[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the voltage reading device includes: a substrate 100, a voltage recorder 200, a plurality of probes 300, and a probe 300 stopper. The voltage recorder 200 is disposed on a first side of the substrate 100; the plurality of probes 300 are sequentially spaced and electrically connected to the voltage recorder 200 on a second side of the substrate 100; the probe 300 stopper is disposed on the second side of the substrate 100 and is suitable for insertion into a capacitor module so that, when inserted into the capacitor module, each probe 300 aligns with and stably contacts the voltage measurement point of each individual capacitor in the capacitor module.
[0036] In this embodiment, the substrate 100 serves as the basic supporting structure of the entire voltage reading device and provides a stable installation platform. The voltage recorder 200 is arranged on the first side (usually referred to as the first side) of the substrate 100. Figure 1 The voltage recorder 200 has high-precision data acquisition capabilities and can accurately reflect the voltage status of each single capacitor in the capacitor module in real time. The multiple probes 300 are sequentially arranged on the second side of the substrate 100 (the side opposite to the voltage recorder 200, i.e., Figure 1 As shown below). These probes 300 are made of metal conductive material with good electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. Through precise arrangement and positioning, they ensure that they can be accurately aligned and stably contact the voltage measurement point of each single capacitor when inserted into the capacitor module. At the same time, each probe 300 is electrically connected to the voltage recorder 200 so that the collected voltage signal can be transmitted to the voltage recorder 200 for processing. The probe 300 limiter is arranged on the second side of the substrate 100 and works in conjunction with the multiple probes 300. Their main function is to ensure that when the capacitor module is inserted, each probe 300 can stably contact the voltage measurement point of the single capacitor according to the predetermined position and angle. The design of the probe 300 limiter takes into account the structural characteristics and test requirements of the capacitor module, and through reasonable shape and size design, precise guidance and limitation of the probe 300 are achieved.
[0037] During operation, the voltage reading device is first aligned with the capacitor module, so that each individual capacitor in the module corresponds to a corresponding probe 300. Then, through the guidance and positioning of the probe 300 stoppers, each probe 300 accurately and stably contacts the voltage measurement point of the individual capacitor. Next, the voltage recorder 200 begins operation, collecting and recording the voltage signal transmitted by each probe 300. Finally, through data processing and display functions, the test results are presented in the form of charts, numbers, etc. for user analysis and judgment.
[0038] The voltage reading device provided by this utility model, by configuring multiple probes 300 at once, can simultaneously test the voltages of all individual capacitors in a capacitor module, significantly improving testing efficiency and significantly saving time and labor costs compared to traditional manual, one-by-one testing methods. Each probe 300 is precisely designed and positioned to ensure accurate contact with the voltage measurement point of each individual capacitor when inserted into the capacitor module, thereby ensuring the accuracy of test data and reducing human error. All test data is recorded and uploaded in real time via the voltage recorder 200, enabling comprehensive data collection and archiving, ensuring data integrity and traceability, and providing an important basis for subsequent product quality analysis and improvement.
[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each probe 300 is provided with an elastic member 700 (spring), which is connected to the probe 300 and / or the substrate 100 so that by pressing the elastic member 700, each point is in contact and the test data is reliable.
[0040] Each probe 300 is fitted with an elastic member 700 (spring), which is appropriately connected to the probe 300 and / or substrate 100. When the capacitor module is inserted into the voltage reading device, the presence of the elastic member 700 allows the probe 300 to automatically adapt to slight height differences or positional deviations between individual capacitors. By pressing the elastic member 700, the probe 300 can more closely and stably contact the voltage measurement point of each individual capacitor, ensuring reliable contact at each point.
[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the voltage reading device further includes: a limiting baffle 500 , which is disposed on the second side of the substrate 100 and is used to abut against the capacitor module.
[0042] Specifically, the stopper 500 is disposed on the second side of the substrate 100 (i.e., the side opposite the voltage recorder 200 and where the probe 300 and its stopper are located). Its primary function is to provide a physical stop and support point when the capacitor module is inserted into the voltage reading device, ensuring stable and accurate contact between the capacitor module and the probe 300.
[0043] When the capacitor module is placed on substrate 100 and attempts to dock with probe 300, the stopper 500 first contacts the outer edge or a specific portion of the capacitor module. This contact not only limits the horizontal movement of the capacitor module but also, through a reaction force, helps the module more accurately position itself above probe 300. Subsequently, as the module continues to be inserted, each individual capacitor in the module gradually contacts its corresponding probe 300, achieving a stable electrical connection via the elastic member 700 (e.g., a spring) on the probe 300.
[0044] In this embodiment, the limiting baffle 500 includes: a first limiting baffle 500 and a second limiting baffle 500. The first limiting baffle 500 is disposed at one end of the second side of the substrate 100 and is used to abut one side of the capacitor module; the second limiting baffle 500 is disposed at the other end of the second side of the substrate 100 and is used to abut the other side of the capacitor module; a mounting space for the probe 300 is formed between the first limiting baffle 500 and the second limiting baffle 500.
[0045] Specifically, the first limiting baffle 500 is arranged at one end of the second side of the substrate 100, and its main function is to abut one side of the capacitor module. The second limiting baffle 500 is arranged at the other end of the second side of the substrate 100, opposite to the first limiting baffle 500, and is used to abut the other side of the capacitor module. A space is formed between the first limiting baffle 500 and the second limiting baffle 500, so that the first limiting baffle 500 and the second limiting baffle 500 are clamped on both sides of the capacitor module. When the capacitor module is inserted into the voltage reading device, the first limiting baffle 500 contacts one side of the capacitor module, and the second limiting baffle 500 contacts the other side of the capacitor module, playing a preliminary limiting role to prevent the capacitor module from excessive movement in the horizontal direction.
[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the voltage reading device also includes a handle 600. Handle 600 is located on the first side of substrate 100 and is constructed of a suitable shape, size, and material to ensure a comfortable and easy grip. By holding handle 600, the user can easily move, position, and secure the voltage reading device to perform voltage testing on the capacitor module.
[0047] Accordingly, the handle 600 includes a first handle 610 and a second handle 620 . The first handle 610 is disposed at one end of the first side of the substrate 100 ; the second handle 620 is disposed at the other end of the first side of the substrate 100 .
[0048] A first handle 610 is provided at one end of the first side of the substrate 100, providing a grip for the user. The user can grasp the first handle 610 to move or adjust the position of the voltage reading device, making operation more convenient, especially when placing the device on a test bench or inserting a capacitor module.
[0049] The second handle 620 is located at the other end of the first side of the base plate 100, opposite the first handle 610. The dual handle 600 design not only increases user flexibility but also improves the stability of the device during testing. By simultaneously gripping the first handle 610 and the second handle 620, the user can securely hold the voltage reading device in a more stable position, minimizing movement or tilting due to external forces.
[0050] Users can choose to operate the voltage reading device with one or two hands, flexibly adapting to different test environments and requirements. Holding the dual handle 600 with both hands effectively secures the device, preventing it from moving or tilting during testing, ensuring accuracy and stability.
[0051] In addition, handle 600 includes an anti-slip structure disposed on its outer surface. The anti-slip structure can take various forms, such as raised textures, grooves, a rubber coating, or anti-slip materials. These features are intended to increase friction between the user's hand and handle 600, ensuring a stable grip even when wet, greasy, or covered with gloves.
[0052] It should be noted that the voltage recorder 200 module includes a display screen and a data storage unit; the display screen is used to display the voltage data detected by each probe 300 in real time, and the data storage unit is used to record the voltage data detected by each probe 300.
[0053] The display screen, serving as the front-end output device for the voltage recorder 200 module, primarily displays the voltage data detected by each probe 300 in real time. Through this high-definition display interface, users can intuitively observe the voltage status of each individual capacitor in the capacitor module. The display screen's design prioritizes user experience, providing not only clear digital display but also visual elements such as charts and curves to more intuitively understand voltage data trends. Furthermore, the display screen may support switching between multiple display modes to meet the needs of different users or test scenarios.
[0054] The data storage unit provides back-end support for the voltage recorder 200 module and is responsible for recording and storing the voltage data detected by each probe 300. This data is crucial for subsequent data analysis, fault diagnosis, and performance evaluation. The data storage unit typically utilizes highly reliable storage media, such as SD cards or Flash memory, to ensure data security and stability. It also supports large-capacity storage to meet the needs of long-term, high-frequency voltage data recording. Users can easily export data from the storage unit to a computer or other analytical device through a specific data interface or software tool for further processing and analysis.
[0055] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple probe 300 limiters, and their number usually matches the number of probes 300 to ensure that each probe 300 can be stably limited. Multiple probe 300 limiters are spaced apart on the second side of the substrate 100 (i.e., the side opposite to the voltage recorder 200). The probe 300 limiter physically limits the range of movement of the probe 300 to ensure that the probe 300 can be stably maintained in a predetermined position during the test and prevent displacement caused by external interference or vibration. The probe 300 limiter is usually made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials. When multiple probe 300 limiters are provided, the shape, size and installation requirements of the probe 300 should be fully considered to ensure a close fit with the probe 300.
[0056] Specifically, multiple probes 300 are arranged in an array on the second side of the substrate 100. This array layout allows for simultaneous testing of multiple individual capacitors in a capacitor module, significantly improving testing efficiency. Compared to testing each capacitor individually with a single probe 300, this array layout significantly shortens the test cycle. This array layout ensures that each individual capacitor in the capacitor module can be accurately measured, thereby obtaining comprehensive and detailed voltage data.
[0057] In a specific embodiment, the capacitor module is provided with 64 single capacitors that need to be measured.
[0058] Because there are 64 individual capacitors in the capacitor module that need to be measured, the voltage reading device will be equipped with at least 64 probes 300 (or more, depending on whether a redundant design is used to improve measurement reliability). These probes 300 will be arranged in an array on the second side of the substrate 100, the side opposite the voltage recorder 200. The array layout will take into account the arrangement of the individual capacitors in the capacitor module to ensure that each probe 300 accurately corresponds to a single capacitor. Possible array formats include rectangular arrays, square arrays, or other customized arrays based on specific needs.
[0059] Similarly, in order to stabilize the probes 300, a corresponding number of probe 300 stoppers will be provided. Each of the plurality of probes 300 will be equipped with a plurality of probe 300 stoppers to ensure that the probes 300 can remain in a predetermined position during the test process. These probe 300 stoppers will also be spaced apart on the second side of the substrate 100 to match the probe 300 array.
[0060] The Voltage Recorder 200 module's display can simultaneously display or rotate the voltage data for all 64 individual capacitors, or display the voltage of a specific capacitor via a menu selection. This depends on the size and resolution of the display and the user interface design. The data storage unit has sufficient capacity to record the voltage data of all 64 individual capacitors during the test. This data will be stored securely for subsequent data analysis and processing.
[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
