The first clamping plates (311) have a connecting hole (313) at the end of the first direction (X). The second clamping plates (312) pass through the connecting hole (313) along the second direction (Y) and connect the two first clamping plates (311).

9. The experimental apparatus for simulating indirect battery cooling according to claim 8, characterized in that, The fastener (32) includes a first fastener (321) and a second fastener (322). The first fastener (321) is connected between two first clamping plates (311), and the second fastener (322) is connected between two second clamping plates (312). Both the first fastener (321) and the second fastener (322) are electric lead screws.

10. The experimental apparatus for simulating indirect battery cooling according to claim 8, characterized in that, The clamp (3) also includes a plurality of pressure sensors (33), which are all located on the side of the first clamping plate (311) near the clamping space (30) and the side of the second clamping plate (312) near the clamping space (30). The pressure sensors (33) are used to detect the clamping force of the clamp (3) on the battery cell assembly.
