Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production equipment, and in particular to a probe lateral adjustment mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Battery formation and capacity grading are two crucial stages in battery production, significantly impacting battery performance and quality. Battery formation involves activating the positive and negative electrode materials after manufacturing through specific charging and discharging methods, thereby improving overall battery performance. This requires contacting the battery electrodes with a probe and applying current to achieve formation. However, the spacing between electrodes varies between different batteries, necessitating probe positioning adjustment. Capacity grading, on the other hand, involves sorting batteries by capacity and screening for performance. This process utilizes a vacuum chuck to absorb the electrolyte, requiring alignment with the electrolyte inlet. Therefore, providing a probe lateral adjustment mechanism is a pressing issue.
