[0031] The voltage inspection device in the prior art is usually connected to the battery electrode through structures such as rivets or clips, and a fuel cell stack requires multiple voltage inspection devices for detection. During the installation process, the installation process of the voltage inspection device will be cumbersome and the assembly efficiency will be low.

[0032] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a voltage patrol meter 100 .

[0033] Please combine Figures 1 to 6 The voltage patrol meter 100 of this embodiment is used to connect with the battery electrode 3. The battery electrode 3 is convex to form a clamping portion 31, and the opposite sides of the clamping portion 31 are respectively recessed to form a clamping groove 32. The voltage patrol meter 100 includes a shell 1 and a clamping assembly 2. The bottom of the shell 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11 for inserting the clamping portion. The opposite sides of the shell 1 are recessed to form two clamping grooves 12, and each clamping groove 12 is adapted to the shape of the corresponding clamping groove 32. When the clamping portion is inserted into the receiving groove 11, the clamping groove 12 is connected with the receiving groove 11 and coincides with the clamping groove 32; the clamping assembly 2 includes two locking pins 21 corresponding to the clamping groove 32 and the clamping groove 12. Each locking pin 21 is used to pass through the corresponding clamping groove 12 and insert into the corresponding clamping groove 32, and press against the groove wall of the clamping groove 32 to clamp the shell 1 to the battery electrode 3.

[0034] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide a clamping portion 31 on the battery electrode 3, and to form a clamping groove 32 on the opposite sides of the clamping portion 31. When the housing 1 of the voltage patrol meter 100 and the battery electrode 3 are installed, the clamping portion 31 is first inserted into the receiving groove 11. At this time, the two clamping grooves 32 on the clamping portion 31 overlap with the two clamping grooves 12 respectively. The lock pin 21 is inserted from the clamping groove 12. After the lock pin 21 passes through the clamping groove 12, it extends into the clamping groove 32 and is in contact with the clamping groove 32. The slot wall abuts and clamps, so that the locking pin 21 can abut against the card slot 32 and the card slot 12 respectively. The card slot 32 belongs to the battery pole piece 3, and the card slot 12 belongs to the shell 1, so that the shell 1 and the battery pole piece 3 are fixed by the locking pin 21, and the design of providing the locking pin 21, the card slot 32 and the card slot 12 on both sides can further improve the stability of the connection, balance the stress, and avoid wear or damage caused by force on one side alone, thereby extending the service life of the voltage patrol meter 100. The present application uses the matching relationship between the locking pin 21, the card slot 32 and the card slot 12 to enable the voltage patrol meter 100 to be fixed to the battery pole piece 3 without rivets and clips. The locking and unlocking with the battery pole piece 3 can be achieved by plugging and unplugging the locking pin 21, thereby simplifying the installation process of the voltage patrol meter 100 and improving its assembly efficiency.

[0035] In one embodiment, the engaging portion 31 includes a top plate 33, a bottom plate 34, and a connecting plate 35. The connecting plate 35 is connected between the top plate 33 and the bottom plate 34, and the width of the connecting plate 35 is smaller than the widths of the top plate 33 and the bottom plate 34. The top plate 33, the bottom plate 34, and the connecting plate 35 form a slot 32, and the locking pin 21 is used to abut against the top plate 33. By making the width of the connecting plate 35 smaller than the widths of the top plate 33 and the bottom plate 34 to form the slot 32, after the locking pin 21 is inserted into the slot 32, both the top and bottom of the locking pin 21 can be abutted and restrained by the top plate 33 and the bottom plate 34, thereby preventing the locking pin 21 from disengaging from the bottom of the slot 32, thereby improving the stability of the engaging connection.

[0036] Furthermore, a socket 22 for inserting the top plate 33 is provided on the lock pin 21 at a position corresponding to the top plate 33. The socket 22 is used to abut against the top plate 33. The provision of the socket 22 for inserting the top plate 33 on the lock pin 21 allows, after the lock pin 21 is inserted into the slot 32, the top plate 33 of the engaging portion 31 engages with the socket 22, thereby securing the lock pin 21 to the top plate 33 of the engaging portion 31. This achieves dual fixation of the top plate 33 to the socket 22 and the lock pin 21 to the slot 32, further enhancing the stability of the engagement between the lock pin 21 and the battery electrode 3. This also better locks the position of the top plate 33, preventing the lock pin 21 from shifting or loosening, and improving stability.

[0037] In one embodiment, there are multiple receiving slots 11, which are spaced apart on the housing 1 and are all connected to the engaging slots 12. The locking pin 21 is provided with multiple insertion holes 22, which are the same number as the receiving slots 11 and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The multiple receiving slots 11 allow the housing 1 to be plugged and mated with multiple battery tabs 3. Therefore, the multiple insertion holes 22 are provided, and the multiple insertion holes 22 correspond one-to-one with the top plates 33 of the multiple battery tabs 3. This not only increases the number of support points on the locking pin 21, but also ensures a more stable connection between the locking pin 21 and each battery tab 3 without displacement. It also ensures a more uniform force applied to the locking pin 21 and the battery tab 3, preventing damage caused by excessive local force.

[0038] In one embodiment, baffles 23 are formed on opposite sides of the lock pin 21. A latch 24 is formed on a side of each baffle 23 facing away from the other baffle 23. A latch hole 13 is formed in the housing 1 at a position corresponding to each latch hole 24. The latch 24 is configured to engage with the latch hole 13 to secure the lock pin 21 to the housing 1. The engagement of the latch 24 with the latch hole 13 allows the opposite sides of the lock pin 21 to be connected to the housing 1. The latch 24 and the latch hole 13 are locked to secure the lock pin 21 to the housing 1, thereby preventing the latch 24 from deviating or detaching from the housing 1. This ensures that the lock pin 21 is engaged with both the battery electrode 3 and the housing 1, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the housing 1 and the battery electrode 3.

[0039] In one embodiment, a guide slope 25 is formed on each buckle 24, and the distance between the two guide slopes 25 is gradually reduced in the direction toward the engaging slot 12. The distance between the two guide slopes 25 is gradually reduced in the direction toward the engaging slot 12, that is, the guide slope 25 is inclined downward toward the other buckle 24 in the direction toward the engaging slot 32. This reduces friction between the buckle 24 and the housing 1 before the buckle 24 passes through the housing 1 and extends into the engaging hole 13, thereby reducing wear and tear and reducing resistance. This makes it easier for the buckle 24 to be inserted into the engaging hole 13, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0040] Specifically, the side of the buckle 24 facing away from the guide slope 25 is recessed toward the guide slope 25 to form a limiting portion 26. The limiting portion 26 is configured to engage with the side wall of the engaging hole 13 to limit the locking pin 21 in the engaging hole 13. The limiting portion 26 engages with the side wall of the engaging hole 13, so that the side wall of the engaging hole 13 limits the buckle 24 in the horizontal direction, preventing the locking pin 21 from moving or deviating in a direction perpendicular to the engaging portion 31, thereby improving the stability of the locking pin 21.

[0041] In one embodiment, the lock pin 21 is further provided with a reinforcing rib 27, which is located between the two baffles 23 and extends toward the engaging slot 12. The reinforcing rib 27 increases the strength of the lock pin 21, preventing the lock pin 21 from bending in the middle, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the lock pin 21, preventing the lock pin 21 from deforming and misaligning, and further improving the stability of the lock pin 21.

[0042] In one embodiment, a stopper 14 is provided on the housing 1 at a position corresponding to the engaging slot 12. The shape of the stopper 14 matches that of the lock pin 21, and the stopper 14 abuts against the bottom of the lock pin 21 when the lock pin 21 is inserted into the engaging slot 32. The stopper 14 is sleeved over the lock pin 21. When the lock pin 21 is inserted into the engaging slot 32, the stopper 14 lifts and blocks the lock pin 21, preventing it from sinking, thereby improving the stability of the lock pin 21 and thereby improving the connection stability between the battery electrode 3 and the housing 1.

[0043] The present invention also provides a voltage inspection system, which includes a plurality of the aforementioned voltage inspection instruments 100, which are arranged in an array on the battery electrode 3. The specific structure of the voltage inspection instruments 100 is similar to that of the above-mentioned embodiments. Since the present voltage inspection system adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be detailed here.

[0044] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
