The sliding component 2 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 11 along its extension direction; the support component 3 is slidably connected to the sliding component 2 along its vertical direction, and the support component 3 supports the battery 8; the first lifting component 41 is fixed at a first station, and the first lifting component 41 drives the support component 3 to slide along its vertical direction; the second lifting component 42 is fixed at a second station, and the second lifting component 42 drives the support component 3 to slide along its vertical direction; the first contour detector 51 is fixed at the first station, and the first contour detector 51 detects the contour of the long side of the battery cover; the second contour detector 52 is fixed at the second station, and the second contour detector 52 detects the contour of the short side of the battery cover. The first station and the second station are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first slide rail 11.
[0028] In the battery cover inspection fixture provided in this exemplary embodiment, the battery can be supported on the support component 3. When the sliding component 2 moves the support component 3 to the first station, the first lifting component 41 raises the support component 3, and the first contour detector 51 detects the long side of the battery cover. After the first contour detector 51 completes the detection of the long side of the battery cover, the first lifting component 41 lowers the support component 3. When the sliding component 2 moves the support component 3 to the second station, the second lifting component 42 raises the support component 3, and the second contour detector 52 detects the short side of the battery cover. After the second contour detector 52 completes the detection of the short side of the battery cover, the second lifting component 42 lowers the support component 3. This battery cover inspection fixture can detect the welding condition between the battery cover and the battery casing and realize an automated process for battery inspection, which can improve the detection efficiency of the cover welding condition while ensuring the accuracy of the inspection.
[0029] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-5 As shown, the battery cover inspection fixture may further include a drive assembly 6, which drives the sliding assembly 2 to slide along the first slide rail 11. The drive assembly 6 may include a motor, gears, racks, etc. The motor drives the gears to rotate, the gears drive the gears to move linearly, and the rack can drive the sliding assembly 2 to slide.
[0030] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-5 As shown, the first slide rail 11 can extend in a straight line. It should be understood that in other exemplary embodiments, the first slide rail 11 can also extend in a bent manner.
[0031] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-5As shown, the sliding assembly 2 may include: a first support portion 21 and a guide post 22. The first support portion 21 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 11 along the extending direction of the first slide rail 11; the guide post 22 is fixed above the first support portion and extends vertically. The support assembly 3 includes: a second support portion 31, on which a through hole is formed, and the guide post 22 passes through the through hole. The second support portion 31 is used to support the battery. The first support portion 21 can slide along the extending direction of the guide post 22, so that the support assembly 3 can be slidably connected to the sliding assembly 2 in a vertical direction.
[0032] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-5 As shown, the support assembly 3 further includes two U-shaped clamping portions 32, which are fixed above the second support portion 31. The openings of the two U-shaped clamping portions 32 are arranged opposite to each other, and a receiving space for accommodating the battery can be formed between the two U-shaped clamping portions 32. The battery can be relatively stably placed inside the receiving space.
[0033] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-5 As shown, an opening 211 is formed on the first support portion 21; the first lifting assembly 41 is located below the horizontal level of the first support portion 21. The first lifting assembly 41 includes a first main body portion 411 and a first piston portion 412. The first main body portion 411 is fixed below the horizontal level of the first support portion 21. The first main body portion 411 is used to drive the first piston portion 412 to extend or retract. The first piston portion 412 can be disposed through the opening 211 in the extended state and can be located below the horizontal level of the first support portion 21 in the retracted state. When the sliding component 2 is in the first working position, the first lifting component 41 can extend the first piston part 412. The extended first piston part 412 passes through the opening 211 to lift the second support part 31 located above the first support part 21. The second support part 31 slides upward along the guide post 22 to raise the battery located in the accommodating space to the detection position. The first contour detector 51 can detect the battery located in the detection position. After the first contour detector 51 completes the detection, the first lifting component 41 can retract the first piston part 412 to below the level of the first support part 21. The support component 3 drives the battery to move downward, and then the sliding component 2 can drive the support component 3 to move to the second working position.
[0034] Similarly, the second lifting component 42 is located below the horizontal level of the first support portion 21. The second lifting component 42 includes a second main body portion 421 and a second piston portion 422. The second main body portion 421 is fixed below the horizontal level of the first support portion 21. The second main body portion 421 is used to drive the second piston portion 422 to extend or retract. The second piston portion 422 can be disposed through the opening 211 in the extended state and can be located below the horizontal level of the first support portion 21 in the retracted state.

The first clamping assembly 71 is fixed to the first workstation. The first clamping assembly 71 includes a first driving body 711 and two first clamping parts 712. The first driving body 711 is used to drive the two first clamping parts 712 to separate or move closer together. The two first clamping parts 712 are used to clamp the battery 8. When the battery rises to the inspection position, the first clamping assembly 71 can fix the battery through the two first clamping parts 712. After the battery inspection is completed, the first clamping assembly 71 can release the battery through the two first clamping parts 712 so that the battery can descend.
[0037] Similarly, the second clamping assembly 72 is fixed to the second work station. The second clamping assembly 72 includes a second driving body 721 and two second clamping parts 722. The second driving body 721 is used to drive the two second clamping parts 722 to separate or move closer together, and the two second clamping parts 722 are used to clamp the battery.
[0038] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-5As shown, the battery cover inspection fixture may further include: a second slide rail 12 and a third slide rail 13.

The long side of the battery cover can be parallel to the extension direction of the first slide rail 11. When the battery is in the inspection position at the first station, the two first contour detectors 51 can slide along the second slide rail 12 and the third slide rail 13 respectively to inspect the long side of the battery cover.
[0039] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1-5 As shown, the battery cover inspection fixture further includes a fourth slide rail 14, the extension direction of which intersects the extension direction of the first slide rail 11; wherein, two second contour detectors 52 are slidably connected to the fourth slide rail 14 along its extension direction. When the battery is in the inspection position at the second station, the two second contour detectors 52 can slide along the fourth slide rail 14 to inspect the short side of the battery cover.
[0040] The two first contour detectors 51 can be driven by motors to slide along the second slide rail 12 and the third slide rail 13 respectively. The two second contour detectors 52 can also be driven by motors to slide along the fourth slide rail 14.
