Specific implementation

[0025] In order to make the utility model purposes, technical scheme and advantages more clearly, following combining with the drawing and example, the utility model is further detailedly explained, should understand, the specific example described here is only to explain the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model.

[0026] The utility model provides a kind of retired battery detection platform, its structure as shown in Figure 1 Figure 4 Fig. 1, including support mechanism 1, test mechanism 2 and drive mechanism 3.

[0027] The support mechanism 1 includes support 11, and the support 11 is used to place battery.

[0028] The test mechanism 2 includes detection box 21 on support 11, and detection head 23 is connected on detection box 21 by wire 22.

[0029] The drive mechanism 3 includes positioning assembly 31 and telescopic assembly 32, the positioning assembly 31 is used to drive detection head 23 to move, makes detection head 23 and interface on battery alignment, and the telescopic assembly 32 is used to drive detection head 23 to move, makes detection head 23 slide into or slide out interface on battery.

[0030] ​In use, the support 11 can adapt to different specifications of the retired battery, so that the battery can be stably placed thereon. The detection head 23 is connected to the detection box 21 through the wire 22, and the detection signal emitted by the detection box 21 can be transmitted to the detection head 23 through the wire 22. When the detection head 23 is in contact with the battery interface, the detection signal can act on the battery, and the related parameter signal fed back by the battery can also be transmitted back to the detection box 21 through the detection head 23 and the wire 22, so as to realize the detection of the performance parameters of the battery. The positioning assembly 31 is responsible for accurately driving the detection head 23 to move, and the detection head 23 can be accurately aligned with the interface on the battery in space by manually driving the detection head 23 to move horizontally and vertically in the plane. After the detection head 23 has been aligned with the battery interface by the positioning assembly 31, the telescopic assembly 32 starts to work. It drives the detection head 23 to move linearly along the aligned direction, so that the detection head 23 can smoothly slide into the battery interface. After the detection is completed, the telescopic assembly 32 can reversely drive the detection head 23, so that the detection head 23 can smoothly slide out of the battery interface. The whole process ensures the smooth and reliable connection and separation of the detection head 23 and the battery interface, and avoids damage to the interface caused by improper operation.

[0031] In the utility model, through drive mechanism 3, a certain degree of automation is realized, compared with the traditional way of relying on manual connection of detection head 23 and battery interface one by one, time is greatly saved. The quick positioning of the positioning assembly 31 and the smooth telescopic action of the telescopic assembly 32 can complete the connection and separation operation of the detection head 23 of multiple batteries in a short time, improve the overall efficiency of the detection platform for detecting batch retired batteries, and meet the demand of large-scale retired battery detection.

[0032] In order to reduce the possibility of battery sliding deviation, please refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the detection platform further comprises a limiting mechanism 4, and the limiting mechanism 4 comprises a plurality of limiting plates 41 arranged on the support 11, and the plurality of limiting plates 41 abut the circumferential side of the battery respectively.

[0033] In use, when the retired battery is placed on the support 11, the plurality of limiting plates 41 surround the circumferential side of the battery. The position of the limiting plate 41 is designed and installed on the support 11 according to the typical size and shape of the battery. During the placement of the battery, the limiting plate 41 provides a preliminary positioning reference for the battery, so that the battery is roughly located at the appropriate position on the support 11, and deviation from the operable range of the detection head 23 caused by random placement of the battery on the support 11 is avoided.

[0034] In order to adapt to different sizes of batteries, please refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the limiting plate 41 is slidingly connected to the support 11, and the support 11 is provided with a fixing assembly 5 for fixing the limiting plate 41.

[0035] In use, the limiting plate 41 is slidingly connected to the bracket 11, and this sliding connection allows the limiting plate 41 to be adjusted in position according to the size of the retired battery. When it is necessary to place the battery for detection, the operator can manually slide the limiting plate 41 according to the actual size of the battery. The fixing assembly 56 on the bracket 11 is used to fix the limiting plate 41 after it is adjusted to the appropriate position. The fixed limiting plate 41 can stably abut the circumferential side of the battery, providing reliable limiting for the battery.

[0036] In order to fix the limiting plate 41, please refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the fixing assembly 5 includes a threaded hole 51 provided on the limiting plate 41, and a bolt 52 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole 51, and the bolt 52 is used to abut the bracket 11.

[0037] In use, after the operator slides the limiting plate 41 to the appropriate position according to the size of the battery, the fixing assembly 5 is used to fix it. At this time, by rotating the bolt 52, the bolt 52 will move axially in the threaded hole 51 due to the threaded connection between the bolt 52 and the threaded hole 51 on the limiting plate 41. With the rotation of the bolt 52, one end of the bolt 52 gradually approaches the surface of the bracket 11. Continue to rotate the bolt 52, and the bolt 52 will come into contact with the surface of the bracket 11 and generate a certain pressure. Since the threaded connection between the bolt 52 and the limiting plate 41 can provide sufficient friction and axial fixing force, this pressure will make the limiting plate 41 tightly abut against the bracket 11, thereby limiting the sliding of the limiting plate 41 on the bracket 11. In this way, the limiting plate 41 is fixed at the current position and can stably abut against the circumferential side of the battery, effectively preventing the battery from moving during detection, and providing stable conditions for the detection mechanism to detect the battery interface position and the driving mechanism 3 to drive the detection head 23 to dock with the battery interface.

[0038] In order to facilitate the rotation of the bolt 52, please refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, a handle 53 is provided on the bolt 52.

[0039] In use, the handle 53 provides a convenient force application site for the operator. When it is necessary to rotate the bolt 52 to fix the limiting plate 41, the operator can directly hold the handle 53 for operation. Compared with directly twisting the bolt 52 itself, the handle 53 increases the length of the force arm, and according to the principle of leverage, under the condition of applying the same size of force, it can more easily generate sufficient torque, so that the bolt 52 is more easily rotated, thereby more conveniently achieving the fixing operation of the limiting plate 41, reducing the force required during operation and the operation difficulty.

[0040] In order to make the fixing of the bolt 52 more stable, please refer toFigure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the bolt 52 is provided with a plurality of anti-skid protrusions 54 at its ends, and the bracket 11 is provided with a plurality of anti-skid grooves 55 for accommodating the anti-skid protrusions 54 along the sliding direction of the limiting plate 41.

[0041] In use, when the bolt 52 is screwed along the sliding direction of the limiting plate 41, the anti-skid protrusions 54 at the ends of the bolt 52 will gradually approach the anti-skid grooves 55 on the bracket 11. When the bolt 52 is screwed to a certain extent, the anti-skid protrusions 54 will be embedded in the corresponding anti-skid grooves. During the operation of the equipment, the bolt 52 may be loose due to vibration or other external forces. However, the design of the anti-skid protrusions 54 and the anti-skid grooves can effectively prevent this from happening. After the anti-skid protrusions 54 are embedded in the anti-skid grooves, a certain friction force will be generated between them. When the bolt 52 tends to loosen, the anti-skid protrusions 54 will be resisted by the wall surface of the anti-skid grooves, and this resistance can prevent the rotation of the bolt 52, thereby maintaining the fastening state of the bolt 52.

[0042] In order to further improve the stability of the bolt 52, please refer to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the anti-skid protrusions 54 are elastic.

[0043] In use, the anti-skid protrusions 54 are elastic, and when the bolt 52 is tightened, the elastic anti-skid protrusions 54 can better adapt to the shape and surface roughness of the anti-skid grooves. Even if the anti-skid grooves have certain processing errors or surface irregularities, the elastic anti-skid protrusions 54 can fill the gaps through their own deformation to achieve a closer fit with the anti-skid grooves.

[0044] In order to align the joint with the interface, please refer to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the positioning assembly 31 includes a first electric push rod 311, a vertical frame 312, a second electric push rod 313, and a horizontal frame 314. The first electric push rod 311 is provided on the bracket 11, the vertical frame 312 is slidingly connected to the bracket 11, the output shaft of the first electric push rod 311 is connected to the vertical frame 312, the second electric push rod 313 is provided on the vertical frame 312, the horizontal frame 314 is slidingly connected to the vertical frame 312, and the output shaft of the second electric push rod 313 is connected to the horizontal frame 314.

[0045] In use, when the position of the detection head 23 in the longitudinal direction needs to be adjusted, the first electric push rod 311 starts to work. When the push rod of the first electric push rod 311 extends or retracts, it will push the longitudinal frame 312 to slide on the support 11 in the longitudinal direction because it is connected with the longitudinal frame 312. In this way, the position of the longitudinal frame 312 can be accurately adjusted according to the longitudinal position information of the battery interface. After the first electric push rod 311 adjusts the longitudinal frame 312 to a roughly appropriate longitudinal position, the second electric push rod 313 starts to work. When the push rod of the second electric push rod 313 extends or retracts, it will push the transverse frame 314 to slide on the longitudinal frame 312 in the transverse direction. In this way, the detection head 23 mounted on the transverse frame 314 can be accurately moved to the appropriate position of the battery interface in the plane by first adjusting the longitudinal position of the longitudinal frame 312 with the first electric push rod 311 and then adjusting the transverse position of the transverse frame 314 with the second electric push rod 313.

[0046] To make the connector mate with the interface, please refer to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic assembly 32 comprises a power assembly 33 and a transmission assembly 34. The power assembly 33 comprises a motor 331 arranged on the transverse frame 314. The output shaft of the motor 331 is connected with the detection head 23 through the transmission assembly 34.

[0047] In use, the output shaft of the motor 331 is connected with the detection head 23 through the transmission assembly 34. The transmission assembly 34 is used to convert the rotary power of the output shaft of the motor 331 into the linear telescopic movement of the detection head 23, and can adjust the power as needed, such as changing the movement speed, increasing the torque, etc.

[0048] To make the connector mate with the interface, please refer to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the transmission assembly 34 comprises a driving gear 341 arranged on the output shaft of the motor 331. The detection head 23 is provided with a driven rack 342 engaged with the driving gear 341.

[0049] In use, the driving gear 341 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 331, and rotates synchronously with the output shaft of the motor 331, and rotates continuously according to the rotating direction and speed of the output shaft of the motor 331. The driven rack 342 provided on the detection head 23 is engaged with the driving gear 341. When the driving gear 341 rotates clockwise, the teeth of the driving gear 341 push the driven rack 342 to move linearly in one direction; and when the driving gear 341 rotates counterclockwise, the driven rack 342 is pulled to move linearly in the opposite direction. Since the driven rack 342 is fixedly connected with the detection head 23, the linear motion of the driven rack 342 driven by the driving gear 341 is directly transmitted to the detection head 23, so that the detection head 23 can move linearly along the axial direction of the rack. In this way, the detection head 23 can accurately extend towards the battery interface and slide into the interface to perform detection work. After the detection is completed, the motor 331 is reversed, and through the same transmission mechanism, the detection head 23 can be retracted from the battery interface, so as to complete the connection and separation operation of the detection head 23 and the battery interface.

[0050] In order to better understand the present application, the following will be described in detail Figure 1 Figure 4 The working principle of the technical scheme of the present application, a retired battery detection platform, is described in detail as follows: the support 11 can adapt to retired batteries of different specifications, so that the batteries can be stably placed thereon. The detection head 23 is connected with the detection box 21 through the wire 22, and the detection signal emitted by the detection box 21 can be transmitted to the detection head 23 through the wire 22. When the detection head 23 contacts the battery interface, the detection signal can act on the battery, and the related parameter signal fed back by the battery can also be transmitted back to the detection box 21 through the detection head 23 and the wire 22, so as to realize the detection of the performance parameters of the battery. The positioning assembly 31 is responsible for accurately driving the detection head 23 to move, and moves the detection head 23 in the horizontal and vertical directions in the plane through manual operation, so that the detection head 23 can be accurately aligned with the interface on the battery in space. After the detection head 23 is aligned with the battery interface by the positioning assembly 31, the telescopic assembly 32 starts to work. It drives the detection head 23 to move linearly along the aligned direction, so that the detection head 23 can smoothly slide into the battery interface. After the detection is completed, the telescopic assembly 32 can reversely drive the detection head 23, so that it smoothly slides out of the battery interface. The whole process ensures the stable and reliable connection and separation of the detection head 23 and the battery interface, and avoids damaging the interface due to improper operation.

[0051] The specific embodiments of the present application described above do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. Any various other corresponding changes and modifications made according to the technical concept of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present application.​
