Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery production, and in particular to a battery pack equalization testing tool. Background Technology
[0002] After batteries are welded into battery modules, they are placed in a casing for charging and discharging performance tests, depending on the battery pack type. This is to verify the battery pack's qualification, with the discharge energy as the criterion. Due to individual differences in each battery, the voltage and capacity of each cell will vary during use (this difference increases with environment and time). During the charging and discharging process, due to the "weakest link" effect, low-capacity and high-capacity cells will limit the overall charging and discharging of the battery pack, leading to large voltage differences between cells and low capacity (unqualified) issues, ultimately rendering the entire battery pack unusable. To solve this problem, it is necessary to improve the consistency between batteries, that is, to balance the low-capacity and high-capacity cells in the battery pack. The cutoff condition for fully charging and discharging the battery pack during charging and discharging is the battery voltage. The purpose of balancing is to improve the voltage consistency of each cell in the battery pack, thereby increasing the overall capacity of the battery pack.
[0003] Modern battery packs connect individual batteries in series or parallel by busbars. Once the battery packs are welded together, the overall positive and negative charges of the battery pack can be charged and discharged as a whole by fixing the busbars and bolts. However, individual batteries or multiple batteries cannot be connected to external wires, making it difficult to charge and discharge individual or multiple batteries. Utility Model Content

The gate-shaped component 1 can be mounted on a battery module 3, and the clamping member 13 clamps against both sides of the battery module 3. The crossbeam 11 has a slide rail 111 along its length, and at least one conductive connector 2 is provided in the slide rail 111. The conductive connector 2 includes a pair of conductive bolts 21 and a clamping member 22. The conductive bolts 21 are connected to the cell terminals, and then alligator clips are used to connect individual batteries in the module to external wires. Both the conductive bolts 21 and the clamping member 22 are designed to slide freely. The principle of the sliding structure is as follows:
[0024] The conductive bolt 21 has a first slider 211 threadedly connected to its top; the clamping member 22 includes a first adjusting bolt 221, a first pad 222 located at the bottom of the first adjusting bolt 221, and a second slider 223 threadedly connected to the top of the first adjusting bolt 221; the first slider 211 and the second slider 223 have the same structure and can both slide back and forth in a restricted manner in the slide rail 111.
[0025] The sliding conductive connector 2 is suitable for various sizes and models of battery modules and is easy to operate.
[0026] Furthermore, the clamping member 13 includes a second adjusting bolt 131 bolted to the support rod 12 and a second pad 132 disposed at the bottom of the second adjusting bolt 131. By rotating the second adjusting bolt 131, the second pad 132 is pressed against both sides of the module. Preferably, the second pad 132 is made of bakelite.
[0027] Furthermore, the first slider 211 is a square component, and the slide rail 111 can be configured as two parallel C-shaped plates with the slots of the C-shaped plates facing each other. The square component is accommodated in the slot and matches the inner contour of the slot.
[0028] Furthermore, the top end of the support rod 12 is accommodated in the slide rail 111 and can slide freely, and the top of the support rod 12 has a threaded hole; multiple adjustment holes 112 are spaced apart on the crossbeam 11, and the support rod 12 and the crossbeam 11 are connected by a third adjustment bolt 5 passing through the adjustment hole 112 and the threaded hole. The support rod 12 corresponds to different adjustment holes 112, so that the distance between the two support rods 12 can be adjusted, thereby adapting to battery modules of different sizes.
[0029] Furthermore, the clamping member 22 is positioned between the two conductive bolts 21. There are two conductive connectors 2.
[0030] Furthermore, the first pad 222 is made of insulating material, preferably bakelite.
[0031] Furthermore, the first adjusting bolt 221, the conductive bolt 21, and the second adjusting bolt 131 are all wing bolts, which are easy to tighten by hand and are not easy to loosen.
[0032] Please continue reading. Figure 3-4 First, assemble the gate-shaped component 1 according to the size and model of the battery module 3. Move the support rod 12 to the corresponding adjustment hole 112, and pass the third adjustment bolt 5 through the adjustment hole 112 and the threaded hole of the support rod 12 to fix the position of the support rod. Place the assembled gate-shaped component 1 on the battery module 3. Rotate the first adjustment bolt 221 so that the first pad 222 at its bottom is pressed against the top surface of the battery module 3, while ensuring that the crossbeam 11 remains horizontal. Then, pre-tighten the second adjustment bolt 131 so that it is pressed against both sides of the battery module 3, thus fixing the gate-shaped component 1 on the battery module 3. Rotate the conductive bolt 21 so that its bottom abuts against the cell terminal 4, and then connect it to the top of the conductive bolt 21 through the alligator clip to realize the connection between the individual battery in the module and the external wires.
