With the continuous expansion of the application field of the battery, the demand of its market is also increasing.

[0049] In the battery production process, in order to make the product meet the production requirements, the battery needs to be tested, such as: the battery is tested, the voltage collection test, the temperature collection test, the pressure collection test and so on.

In this way, when connected with the battery test module, only the connection terminal on the test connection row is connected to the battery test module in a contact manner, so as to realize the electrical connection between the battery and the test module.

[0050] Because the specifications of the batteries are different, the sizes are different, and the positions of the test ends on the batteries are different, therefore, the battery test device gradually appears a plurality of different specifications of the battery tray and its matched battery test module. The test connection row of the battery tray of different specifications of the traditional battery test device is consistent with the matching structure of the battery test module, and can be electrically connected with all specifications of the battery test module, therefore, the battery tray often transports the battery to the battery test module which is not adapted, and the battery is electrically connected with the battery test module which is not adapted, which is easy to cause the risk of fire and explosion.

[0051] In order to solve this problem, the battery tray is provided, which includes a tray body, a test connection row and a tray foolproof part, the tray body is used to carry the battery to be tested, the test connection row is arranged on the tray body, the test connection row can be electrically connected with the battery and can be matched with the battery test module, and the tray foolproof part is constructed to be adapted to the target specification of the battery test module. By arranging the tray foolproof part on the test connection row, when the battery tray transports the battery of the preset specification, the battery tray can only be matched with the adapted battery test module, and cannot be matched with the unadapted battery test module, so as to prevent the battery tray from transporting the battery to the unadapted battery test module for testing, thereby avoiding the risk of fire and explosion caused by the unadapted battery and the battery test module, and improving the safety of the battery test process.

[0052] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 a perspective structural schematic diagram of the battery tray 1 provided in some embodiments of the application is shown; Figure 2A schematic diagram of a planar structure of a battery tray 1 provided in some embodiments of the present application is shown. The battery tray 1 comprises a tray body 11 for carrying batteries to be tested, a test connection strip 13 arranged on the tray body 11, the test connection strip 13 being capable of electrically connecting with the batteries and being capable of mating with a battery test module, and a tray foolproof part 12 arranged on the test connection strip 13, the tray foolproof part 12 being configured to be adaptable to a battery test module of a target specification.

[0053] The battery tray 1 provided in the embodiments of the present application, by arranging the tray foolproof part 12 on the test connection strip 13 and configuring the tray foolproof part 12 to be adaptable to the battery test module of the target specification, when the battery tray 1 conveys the batteries of the preset specification, the battery tray 1 can only mate with the adaptable battery test module and cannot mate with the inadaptable battery test module, thereby preventing the battery tray 1 from conveying the batteries to the inadaptable battery test module for testing, and thereby avoiding the risk of fire and explosion caused by the inadaptability of the batteries to the battery test module, and improving the safety of the battery testing process.

[0054] In an embodiment, a plurality of tray foolproof parts 12 are arranged, and the plurality of tray foolproof parts 12 are replaceably connected with the test connection strip 13; each tray foolproof part 12 is adaptable to a battery test module of a specification. Through the foolproof effect of the tray foolproof part 12, one-to-one matching of the batteries and the battery test module is achieved, and when the battery tray 1 carries batteries of different specifications, the tray foolproof part 12 of the corresponding specification can be replaced, thereby enabling the battery tray 1 to carry batteries of multiple specifications and accurately conveying to the adaptably matched battery test module.

[0055] Specifically, the arrangement position and size of the connection terminals on the test connection strip 13 and other parameters need to be adaptable to the battery specification, that is, appropriate test connection strips 13 need to be configured for batteries of different specifications. Therefore, in order to enable the battery tray 1 to carry batteries of multiple specifications, multiple specifications of test connection strips 13 are usually configured for each battery tray 1, and the test connection strip 13 is detachably connected with the tray body 11, for example, the test connection strip 13 can be connected to the tray body 11 by means of bolt connection or clamping. The tray foolproof part 12 is arranged on the test connection strip 13, and therefore, according to the specification of the battery to be connected, the tray foolproof part 12 of the corresponding specification can be arranged on the test connection strip 13, and the replacement of the tray foolproof part 12 can be realized by replacing the test connection strip 13. Of course, in some other embodiments, the tray foolproof part 12 can also be arranged to be detachably connected with the test connection strip 13, and when a test connection strip 13 of a specification can be applicable to batteries of multiple specifications, the tray foolproof part 12 adaptable to the battery can be replaced for the test connection strip 13 alone.

[0057] In an embodiment, the tray foolproof part 12 is configured to be adapted to the corresponding battery test module by means of plug-in fitting to achieve the foolproof effect by plug-in fitting. Only when the tray foolproof part 12 matches the plug-in structure on the battery test module, the plug-in fitting can be achieved, and when the tray foolproof part 12 does not match the plug-in structure on the battery test module, the plug-in fitting cannot be achieved, thereby achieving the foolproof effect.

[0058] In an embodiment, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tray foolproof part 12 is arranged on the side of the test connection row 13 facing the battery test module to facilitate the plug-in fitting of the tray foolproof part 12 and the battery test module.

[0059] In an embodiment, in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 Fig. 4 shows a structural schematic diagram of the tray foolproof part 12 provided in some embodiments of the present application. The tray foolproof part 12 includes a connection main body 121 connected with the test connection row 13; the connection main body 121 is provided with a first matching part for plug-in fitting with the battery test module; wherein the first matching part is configured as a clamping protrusion 122 or a clamping groove 123 to be plug-in fitted with the battery test module.

[0060] Optionally, at least two first matching parts are arranged on the connection main body 121 at intervals, and by arranging at least two first matching parts, a better foolproof effect can be provided.

[0061] In an embodiment, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connection main body 121 is arranged as a part of the test connection row 13, and the clamping groove 123 is arranged directly on the test connection row 13, and correspondingly, the clamping protrusion 122 is arranged on the battery test module, and during the movement of the battery tray 1 to the battery test module, the clamping protrusion 122 is inserted into the clamping groove 123, thereby achieving the plug-in foolproof of the tray foolproof part 12 and the battery test module.

[0062] In another embodiment, the connection main body 121 can also be separately arranged, and the connection main body 121 is connected to the test connection row 13 by means of welding, bonding or threaded connection, etc. The clamping groove 123 is arranged on the connection main body 121, and the clamping groove 123 is plug-in fitted with the clamping protrusion on the battery test module.

[0063] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the connecting body 121 is provided with a clamping protrusion 122, and the battery testing module is correspondingly provided with a clamping groove. The clamping protrusion 122 and the clamping groove can be matched to prevent misconnection.

[0064] The battery tray 1 provided in the embodiments of the present application can be reformed on the basis of the structure of the existing battery tray 1. The clamping groove 123 is directly arranged on the testing connecting row 13, or the tray anti-fumbling piece 12 is additionally arranged on the testing connecting row 13 by welding, bonding or threaded connection, so as to realize the anti-fumbling function, without the need of purchasing a new battery tray 1, thereby reducing the equipment upgrading cost.

[0065] The battery tray 1 provided in the embodiments of the present application comprises a tray body 11, a testing connecting row 13 and a tray anti-fumbling piece 12. The tray body 11 is used for carrying the battery to be tested. The testing connecting row 13 can be electrically connected with the battery and can be matched with the battery testing module. The tray anti-fumbling piece 12 is arranged on the testing connecting row 13. The tray anti-fumbling piece 12 is configured to be adapted to the battery testing module of the target specification. The tray anti-fumbling piece 12 can be specifically arranged in the form of a clamping groove 123 or a clamping protrusion 122. By arranging the tray anti-fumbling piece 12 on the testing connecting row 13, and configuring the tray anti-fumbling piece 12 to be adapted to the battery testing module of the target specification, when the battery tray 1 conveys the battery of the preset specification, the battery tray 1 can only be matched with the adapted battery testing module, and cannot be matched with the unadapted battery testing module, thereby preventing the battery tray 1 from conveying the battery to the unadapted battery testing module for testing, and avoiding the fire and explosion risk caused by the unadapted battery and the battery testing module, and improving the safety of the battery testing process.

[0066] The embodiments of the present application also provide a battery testing device comprising the battery testing module and the battery tray 1 in the above embodiments.

[0067] Specifically, the battery testing module is provided with a testing end anti-fumbling piece. Each tray anti-fumbling piece 12 is configured to be adapted to the testing end anti-fumbling piece of the battery testing module of the target specification. By matching the testing end anti-fumbling piece of the battery testing module with the tray anti-fumbling piece 12 of the battery tray 1, the matching restriction of the battery tray 1 and the battery testing module is realized.

[0068] In an embodiment, the test end fool-proof part is provided with a second matching part for matching with the tray fool-proof part 12; wherein the second matching part is configured as a clamping protrusion or a groove.

[0069] Specifically, similar to the setting mode of the tray fool-proof part 12, the test end fool-proof part can be part of an existing battery test module, and the clamping groove or the clamping protrusion is directly set on the existing battery test module to match the clamping protrusion 122 or the clamping groove 123 on the tray fool-proof part 12. The test end fool-proof part can also be an independent structure separately provided on the existing battery test module and fixed by welding, bonding or screwing. The above two setting modes of the test end fool-proof part can be further modified on the basis of the structure of the existing battery test module, and the modification cost is relatively low.
