Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric core test, especially to a no tab electric core test tool. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, the lithium battery industry in China has developed rapidly and has been gradually applied in consumer electronics, new energy vehicles, power tools and energy storage devices and other fields. With the continuous expansion of application fields, the product system is increasingly complete, and the product quality level continues to improve. At the same time, the rapid development of the Internet and smart cities has driven the continuous expansion of the market size of China's lithium battery.

[0003] In the field of batteries, in order to improve the energy density of the battery and reduce the volume of the battery, two camps of cylindrical batteries and square batteries appear in the early stage of the battery. The battery needs to be tested for performance and safety before it is shipped. After testing, the battery is installed in the vehicle for use. With the increase of the number of new energy vehicles, new energy vehicles may encounter problems of battery aging or damage. Therefore, the battery needs to be returned to the factory for disassembly and repair. The battery needs to be disassembled and tested. After the battery is disassembled, the tab of the old battery needs to be de-soldered. The old battery needs to be tested by testing equipment. The surface of the tab of the old battery may have a bend or a pit, resulting in a non-uniform tab contact area or a contact area less than the standard area, which may cause the current passing through the tab per unit area to increase during the tab power-on process, causing the tab to heat or burn, and making testing inconvenient. UTILITARIAN CONTENT

The clamping mechanism is connected to the conductive mechanism connected to the battery tab through the extension mechanism on both sides. The conductive mechanism can adjust the distance between the battery through the extension mechanism. In this scheme, the battery can be clamped by the clamping mechanism, and the distance between the conductive mechanism and the battery can be adjusted by the lifting mechanism, so that the conductive mechanism can be connected with the tab of the battery.

[0006] Preferably, one end of the telescopic mechanism is connected to the upper surface of the placement table and makes the telescopic mechanism stand, and the conductive mechanism is rotatably installed at the end of the telescopic mechanism away from the placement table. In this scheme, the telescopic mechanism can be a pneumatic cylinder or a manual adjusting mechanism, and in this application, it is a manual adjusting mechanism. The conductive mechanism is installed at the end of the telescopic mechanism away from the placement table, which can lengthen the distance between the conductive mechanism and the placement table, increase the adjusting stroke between the conductive mechanism and the placement table, and be suitable for batteries of different sizes.

[0007] Preferably, the conductive mechanism comprises a metal sheet and a connecting lug, the middle part of the metal sheet is fixed to the end of the telescopic mechanism away from the placement table through a first handle bolt, and the connecting lug is connected to the end of the metal sheet close to the battery and faces the battery. The metal sheet in this scheme can rotate to change the position of the connecting lug to adapt to the connection of different battery tabs, and the connecting lug is used to abut against the tab of the battery for conduction.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting lug is connected to a plurality of spring contact pins on the side facing the battery. In this scheme, the battery spring contact pin can cope with the pits and bumps of the battery tab, ensure that the connection area between the connecting lug and the tab will not decrease, prevent the current from being too large when the connecting lug conducts electricity, and increase safety and practicability.

[0009] Preferably, the middle part of the metal sheet is provided with a strip-shaped groove, and the first handle bolt is connected to the telescopic mechanism through the strip-shaped groove. The strip-shaped groove of the metal sheet in this scheme can make the metal sheet horizontally translate, change the position of the connecting lug on the metal sheet, and cope with the connection of different battery tabs.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the placement table is provided with a guide rail, and the two clamping mechanisms are slidingly installed on the guide rail. The clamping mechanism has mounting lugs on both sides, and the mounting lugs are screwed into the abutting grooves of the placement table through the second handle bolts. In this scheme, after the two clamping mechanisms slide on the placement table, the second handle bolts are screwed to abut against the upper surface of the placement table to lock and fix, thereby limiting the positions of the two clamping mechanisms to clamp and position the battery.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the no-tab battery cell test tool adopts the above technical scheme, and has the following technical effects:

[0012] The plurality of spring contact pins connected by the connecting lug of the utility model can contact the tab of the battery. In the utility model, the spring contact pin can be used for contacting and connecting different shapes of battery tabs, can make the connection area of the battery tab meet the requirements, and avoids the risk of excessive discharge current of the battery.
