[0020] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure when the upper and lower fixing blocks are open.

[0021] The attached diagram lists the components represented by each number as follows:

[0022] Test chassis 1, switch 10, relay 11, control power supply 12, solenoid valve 13, signal amplifier 14, bracket 15, side base 16, photoelectric sensor 17, air inlet 18, cylinder 2, upper fixing block 20, adjusting screw 21, slide 22, copper block 23, lower fixing block 24. Detailed Implementation Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel lithium battery three-wire test fixture, including a test housing 1. A detection head assembly is installed on one side of the test housing 1. The detection head assembly includes a cylinder 2, an upper fixing block 20, an adjusting screw 21, and multiple copper blocks 23. The cylinder 2 is installed on one side of the test housing 1. The upper fixing block 20 is fixed to the telescopic end of the cylinder 2. A lower fixing block 24 is arranged opposite to the upper fixing block 20. Three copper blocks 23 are respectively installed on the upper fixing block 20 and the lower fixing block 24 for connecting to the positive terminal, negative terminal, and detection terminal output of the lithium battery's external wire. A voltage internal resistance comprehensive tester is integrated inside the test housing 1. The copper blocks 23 are electrically connected to the voltage internal resistance comprehensive tester. A photoelectric sensor 17 for detecting lithium batteries is arranged on one side of the lower fixing block 24.

[0024] During operation, when the lithium battery moves between the upper fixed block 20 and the lower fixed block 24, cylinder 2 drives the upper fixed block 20 to move downward. The upper fixed block 20, together with the multiple copper blocks 23 respectively set on the lower fixed block 24, connects to the positive terminal, negative terminal and detection terminal output of the lithium battery, and forms a test circuit with the voltage internal resistance comprehensive tester. The voltage internal resistance comprehensive tester built into the test box 1 performs a one-time rapid test on the parameters of the lithium battery, measuring the voltage, conduction internal resistance, discharge overcurrent and thermistor of the lithium battery. After the test is completed, cylinder 2 rises again to complete the test. The photoelectric sensor 17 is mainly used as the detection signal to drive cylinder 2.

[0025] The test chamber 1 includes a relay 11, a control power supply 12, a solenoid valve 13, and a signal amplifier 14. A switch 10 is provided on the surface of the 1. An air inlet 18 for wire input is provided on the panel of the 1. The output signal of the photoelectric sensor 17 is electrically connected to the control coil of the relay 11. The relay 11 is normally open and connected to the power circuit of the solenoid valve 13. The solenoid valve 13 is used to control the air path of the cylinder 2.

[0026] During operation, the photoelectric sensor 17 outputs a detection signal to the relay 11. The control coil of the relay 11 receives a signal input, and the normally open contact closes. The solenoid valve 13 of the control cylinder 2 is connected to the control power supply 12, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder 2 descends. The copper block 23 contacts different electrodes of the lithium battery wire. At this time, the lithium battery, the copper block 23, and the voltage and internal resistance comprehensive tester form a test circuit, and the tester starts testing. When it is necessary to disconnect the test, simply do not block the photoelectric sensor 17, and the solenoid valve 13 will be de-energized, the cylinder 2 will rise, and the test will end.

[0027] The front panel of the test chamber 1 is fixed with a bracket plate 15 for mounting the cylinder 2 at the top, and the front panel of the test chamber 1 is fixed with a side base 16 for mounting the lower fixing block 24 at the bottom.

[0028] The upper fixing block 20 has a plurality of vertical holes that communicate with the slide groove 22 at its top. An adjusting screw 21 is threaded into the vertical hole, and the bottom end of the adjusting screw 21 is connected to the corresponding copper block 23.

[0029] During operation, the adjustable screw 21 can adjust the extension length of the copper block 23 on one side of the upper fixing block 20, which can be adapted to lithium batteries of different thicknesses. Example 2

[0030] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0031] The upper fixing block 20 and the lower fixing block 24 are respectively provided with multiple sliding grooves 22 on their opposite surfaces, and the copper block 23 is vertically slidably locked in the sliding grooves 22 by a spring;

[0032] During operation, the spring can drive the copper block 23 to slide vertically, so that when the upper fixed block 20 and the lower fixed block 24 approach and close together, the copper block 23 can slowly press against the electrode potential of the lithium battery instead of impacting it, thus reducing the impact on the lithium battery itself.

[0033] When the copper block 23 on the upper fixed block 20 is equipped with an adjusting screw 21, the copper block 23 is connected to the adjusting screw 21 through a spring, thereby ensuring the elasticity of the contact while adjusting the extension length of the copper block 23.
