Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic docking, water connection, tight locking and transfer mechanism for a charging and discharging fixture device for manual square batteries or dual-outlet soft-pack batteries that integrates pressurization-heating-water cooling. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, the technical requirements for electric vehicle batteries, such as rapid replacement, fast charging, and battery safety, have also gradually increased. Currently, the common electric vehicle battery is placed entirely in an independent storage space, using a sensing module for temperature monitoring. This structural design still has significant shortcomings, such as poor heat dissipation performance. Although it can effectively monitor the battery, it cannot fundamentally improve heat dissipation performance and reduce safety hazards. In the automated production process of square or pouch batteries, the fixtures should also change with the length of the battery after the shape is changed. In order to facilitate the positioning of the battery without changing the fixture, it is necessary to position the battery according to its length and width and to allow it to be inserted into the fixture channel. However, existing equipment cannot position the length and width of the battery, resulting in poor equipment adaptability, low formation efficiency, and low efficiency of the water cooling system. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems by providing a novel automatic docking and water-connecting tightly locking adapter mechanism for manual square batteries or dual-tab soft-pack batteries that integrates pressurization-heating-water cooling. This mechanism automatically engages and disengages the clamps on the charging / discharging fixture via probes on the clamp adapter probe assembly. When high-current charging / discharging tests are performed, it can automatically detach from or engage with the contact probes, preventing electric shock hazards from manual operation. Furthermore, it achieves a high degree of automation, reduces operator steps, enables automated production, reduces defects caused by human factors, increases production capacity, improves product quality, and significantly reduces costs.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
