[0035] During the actual use process, first, the cylindrical battery cell 5 is welded to the current collector plate 6. After the welding is completed, the battery cell 5 is placed in the accommodation space 7 for fixation. Then, the screw rod 3 is rotated. The screw rod 3 rotates on the nut 4. Finally, the screw rod 3 drives the moving plate 2 to clamp the battery cell 5. Then, iron wires are placed on the three surfaces of the current collector plate 6 and fixed with AB glue. The iron wires on the current collector plate 6 are fixed with the screws on the drawing force testing machine 8. The current collector plate 6 is connected to the drawing force testing machine 8. Finally, the drawing force testing program is started, and the drawing force testing machine 8 applies a tensile force to measure the welding strength between the current collector plate 6 and the battery cell 5.

[0036] Further, various screw rods can be used for the screw rod 3 in the present application, such as a common screw rod or a trapezoidal screw rod, etc., and corresponding nuts can be used for the nut 4, such as a common nut or a trapezoidal nut, etc.

[0037] The present utility model further has the following implementation manners based on the above:

[0038] Further, a drawing force testing tooling, which further includes: a drawing force testing machine 8; a first fixing seat 9 is provided on one surface of the drawing force testing machine 8, and the first fixing seat 9 fixedly connects the connecting seat 1. A second fixing seat 10 is provided on the other surface of the drawing force testing machine 8, and screws are installed on the second fixing seat 10. Specifically, after the battery cell 5 is fixed, the iron wires on the current collector plate 6 are fixed with the screws on the second fixing seat 10.

[0039] Further, a drawing force testing tooling, wherein a connecting column 11 extends outward from the bottom surface of the connecting seat 1, and the connecting column 11 is fixedly installed on the first fixing seat 9.

[0040] Furthermore, a pull-out force testing fixture includes a first fixed base 9 with a through hole 12, into which a connecting post 11 is inserted.

[0041] Furthermore, a pull-out force testing fixture further includes: an assisting rod 13; the assisting rod 13 is mounted to the lead screw 3 via screws 14. Specifically, the assisting rod 13, connected to the lead screw 3 via screws 14, provides high-strength support, ensuring the lead screw 3 remains stable during operation and will not move or tilt due to external forces or vibrations. Through the screw connection, the assisting rod 13 can accurately position the lead screw 3, ensuring its accuracy and stability during operation. Furthermore, the connection between the assisting rod 13 and the screws 14 protects the lead screw 3, preventing damage during operation and extending its service life.

[0042] Furthermore, a pull-out force testing fixture further includes: a plurality of guide structures 15; one end of each guide structure 15 passes through the side wall of the connecting seat 1 and is mounted on the movable plate 2.

[0044] Furthermore, a pull-out force testing fixture is provided, wherein the inner walls of the moving plate 2 and the connecting seat 1 are both provided with grooves 18 that match the battery cell 5. In order to make the clamping of the battery cell 5 more stable, grooves 18 with the same shape as the battery cell 5 are provided.

[0045] Furthermore, in a pull-out force testing fixture, the end of the battery cell 5 that extends into the connector 1 is knurled. Knurling increases friction; by increasing the contact area, knurling increases the friction between the battery cell 5 and the cell under test, preventing the cell 5 from slipping during testing and ensuring the accuracy of the test results. Knurling also prevents cell deformation by dispersing the test force, preventing concentrated force from causing deformation of the cell 5 and protecting it from damage.

[0046] Furthermore, a pull-out force testing fixture is provided, wherein the edges of the grooves 18 are all rounded. Specifically, this protects the battery cell 5 from scratches.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model.
