The mounting frame 1 has a mounting position 3 in the middle, and the fiberglass plates 2 are located inside the mounting position 3. The fiberglass plates 2 are evenly spaced and parallel to each other. Slots are provided on both sides of the mounting frame 1, and the fiberglass plates 2 are inserted into the slots on both sides. Several probe slots are provided in the middle of the fiberglass plates 2 along the vertical direction. The probe slots are evenly spaced and parallel to each other. Elastic probes 4 pass through the probe slots. Busbars 5 are provided on the side of the fiberglass plates 2. The busbars 5 are welded together with the elastic probes 4. A probe cable connector 6 is provided at one end of the busbars 5.
[0025] The mounting frame 1 is a single unit with a mounting position 3 in the middle. Fiberglass boards 2 are arranged in parallel in the mounting position 3 and assembled by inserting into slots on both sides of the mounting frame 1. Each fiberglass board 2 has an elastic probe 4 inserted into it and is fixed by welding through the busbar 5 on the outside of the fiberglass board 2. The fiberglass board 2 and the mounting frame 1 move up and down as a whole. The elastic probe 4 makes elastic contact with the silicon wafer of the BC battery, thereby realizing hot spot and EL detection.
[0026] Side baffles 7 are provided on both sides of the mounting frame 1. The side baffles 7 press against the outer side of the fiberglass board 2. Side baffles 7 are provided with side through holes 8. Side screws are installed in the side through holes 8. The side screws thread-lock the side baffles 7 onto the mounting frame 1. In addition, upper pressure strips 9 are provided on both sides of the mounting frame 1. The upper pressure strips 9 press against the upper ends of both sides of the fiberglass board 2. Upper pressure strips 9 are provided with upper through holes 10. Upper screws are installed in the upper through holes 10. The upper screws thread-lock the upper pressure strips 9 onto the mounting frame 1.
[0027] After inserting the mounting frame 1 into both sides of the fiberglass board 2, use the upper pressure strip 9 to press the side of the fiberglass board 2 down from above, use the side baffle 7 to make the side of the fiberglass board 2 flush with the outside, and then lock it with screws.
[0028] The elastic probe 4 includes a needle sleeve 11 and a needle 12. The lower end of the needle sleeve 11 is provided with a mounting position 3. The upper end of the needle 12 is inserted into the mounting position 3. The needle 12 moves elastically back and forth, and the needle 12 is inserted from the lower end of the needle sleeve 11 to form an elastic structure.
[0029] The lower periphery of the needle sleeve 11 is provided with a circular protrusion 13, which is engaged with the upper end of the fiberglass plate 2, effectively preventing the elastic probe 4 from retracting too far upward and thus limiting its position.
