[0028] Implementation Method 1

[0029] This embodiment discloses an intelligent fully automatic control probe module for performing charge and discharge tests during battery formation.

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the intelligent fully automatic control probe module includes a module frame 1, a probe fixing frame 2, a probe 3 and a motor 4. A mounting frame 5 is provided at the bottom of the module frame 1, and a guide rail 51 and a mounting groove 52 are provided along the length direction of the mounting frame 5. The probe fixing frame 2 is provided with multiple and arranged in sequence along the guide rail 51. Through grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the module frame 1 along the length direction of the mounting frame 5. The fixing frame is slidably connected to the through groove 11. The probe fixing frame 2 is provided with multiple through holes 21. The probe 3 is sequentially penetrated through the probe fixing frame 2 and the mounting groove 52 through the through holes 21.

[0031] The probe 3 is used to directly contact the electrical connection part of the battery. The probe 3 needs to be exposed outside the guide module frame 1 through the mounting groove 52 to be electrically connected to the battery. Therefore, the mounting frame 5 is set at the bottom of the module frame 1, and the two ends of the probe fixing frame 2 extend out of the probe module frame 1 through the through groove 11 of the module frame 1, and protrusions are set at both ends of the probe fixing frame 2 to control the distance between the probe fixing frame 2 and the module frame 1 so that the probe fixing frame 2 can achieve free sliding in the horizontal direction in the module frame 1. The probe 3 and the motor 4 are both set on the probe fixing frame 2, and the output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to the guide rail 51 of the mounting frame 5 so that when the motor 4 outputs power, it drives the motor 4 to move on the guide rail 51 while driving the probe fixing frame 2 and the probe 3 to move along the guide rail 51, thereby adjusting the position of the probe 3, so that the position of the probe 3 can be adjusted only by the drive of the motor 4.

[0032] Preferably, the motor 4 is a stepper motor 4, and the probe 3 is a retractable pluggable probe 3. The stepper motor 4, as a driving motor 4, can rotate in very small steps, thereby achieving precise position control. The stepper motor 4 can complete precise tasks without the need for complex feedback, and the retractable pluggable probe 3 can be retracted and extended as needed to adapt to the position of the electrical connection of different batteries. There are many types of batteries, and the position and depth of the electrical connection of the battery may be different. The use of the retractable probe 3 can ensure that the contact with the battery is not affected, which is conducive to improving the adaptability of the intelligent fully automatic control probe module to different batteries.

[0033] Preferably, the insulating plate 7 fixedly connected with the side wall of the module frame 1 is further provided with a plurality of conductive sheets 71 arranged in sequence along the length direction, and the plurality of conductive sheets 71 are respectively electrically connected with the plurality of probes 3 one by one. The arrangement of the conductive sheets 71 provided through the insulating plate 7 helps to fix and arrange the wires in order, avoids disorder of the wires, reduces unstable movement of the probes 3 caused by wire interference, and can control the length of the wires between the conductive sheets 71 and the probes 3, so as to avoid too long wires and prevent the probes 3 from winding when moving, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of operation. The length control between the conductive sheets 71 and the probes 3 also prevents the wires from being too short and avoids limiting the free movement of the probes 3, so as to ensure that the probes 3 can freely and accurately operate within the designed range.

[0034] Preferably, the through hole 21 provided with the probe 3 is provided with a flange 211 extending along the axial direction of the probe 3 for fixing the probe 3, thereby providing support for the probe 3 in the horizontal and vertical directions, so that the probe 3 can remain flat when pressing and electrically connecting with the battery, and the electrical connection between the probe 3 and the battery is accurate and effective.

[0035] Specifically, the power module 8 and the control module 9 are further included, the power module 8 is electrically connected with the probe 3 through the control module 9, and the control module 9 can realize accurate control of the motor 4. The control module 9 can be a PLC controller, which can automatically adjust the position of the probe 3 by inputting the size of the battery to control the movement of the motor 4, so as to realize automatic detection of different size batteries without the need to adjust the probe 3 module when replacing different models of batteries, thereby reducing the use of personnel.

[0036] Preferably, the guide rail 51 is provided with a rack 511, the guide rail 51 is fixedly connected with the rack 511, the output shaft of the motor 4 is fixedly connected with a gear 41, and the gear 41 is meshingly connected with the rack 511. When the output shaft of the motor 4 rotates, the gear 41 fixedly connected with the output shaft also rotates, and because the gear 41 is meshingly connected with the rack 511, the gear 41 moves on the rack 511, thereby controlling the movement of the motor 4 along the guide rail 51. The meshing transmission system of the gear 41 and the rack 511 has high precision because it eliminates friction and transmission error, so that each rotation of the gear 41 can accurately correspond to the linear displacement of the rack 511. This design can accurately control the movement of the motor 4 in a small step, which is conducive to the accurate movement of the motor 4 driving the probe 3.

[0037] Preferably, multiple guide rail 51 mounting slots 52 and through slots 11 are provided along the length direction of the mounting frame 5, and multiple probes 3 have multiple mounting slots 52 corresponding to each other. The through slots 11 and the guide rail 51 are provided corresponding to the mounting slots 52. Since the probes 3 are provided at different positions, the probes 3 will not affect each other. This arrangement can achieve precise control of different probes 3 and reduce unnecessary displacement or rotation of the probes 3.

[0038] Preferably, the motor 4 is provided with an infrared positioning device 42. Providing the infrared positioning device 42 on the motor 4 can achieve precise control of the position of the motor 4, and negative feedback adjustment of the position of the motor 4 can be achieved through the control module 9, which is beneficial to improving the movement accuracy of the motor 4.

[0039] Implementation Method 2

[0040] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the side wall of the module frame 1 is fixedly connected with an electric push rod 6, which abuts against the probe 3 to push the probe 3, and the probe 3 is provided with an elastic member to achieve the reset of the probe 3.

[0041] When the probe 3 needs to extend out of the module frame 1 to work, the electric push rod 6 is driven to work, and the electric push rod 6 is pressed down to push the probe 3 to move downward and extend out of the module frame 1. At the same time, as the electric push rod 6 is pressed down, the elastic part is compressed to accumulate elastic potential energy. When the probe 3 needs to be retracted, the electric push rod 6 moves upward, and the elastic part releases the elastic potential energy to push the probe 3 upward to achieve the retraction of the probe 3. The present application can achieve free extension and retraction of the probe 3 through these settings. When the number of probes 3 required for different types of batteries is different, the number of working probes 3 can be adjusted in this way. For some special-shaped batteries that require probes 3 of different heights for electrical connection, the intelligent fully automatic control probe module of the present application can be used. Through this design, not only the automatic control of the intelligent fully automatic control probe 3 module is optimized, but also the adaptability and operability of the system are improved.

[0042] Preferably, the electric push rod 6 is connected to the probe 3 through a sleeve 61, one end of the sleeve 61 is fixedly connected to the electric push rod 6 and the other end is sleeved on the top of the probe 3. When a different probe 3 needs to be replaced as the probe 3, the sleeve 61 can be easily replaced. When the probe 3 is to be replaced, the sleeve 61 is disassembled, and the probe 3 can be more easily taken out of the sleeve 61, and then another probe 3 can be installed. The present application can change the selection of the probe 3 in this way to make the fully automatic control probe 3 module of the present application have better adaptability.

[0043] The above description shows and describes several preferred embodiments of the present application, but as before, it should be understood that the present application is not limited to the forms disclosed herein, should not be considered as excluding other embodiments, and can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the present application concept, by the above teaching or related technical or knowledge. The modification and change made by the person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application shall be within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
