[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0036] See Figure 1 This utility model provides a clamping device for battery testing, comprising:

[0037] Base plate 1;

[0038] Two opposing length adjustment plates are set on the base plate 1. Each length adjustment plate includes a vertical plate 2. The battery to be tested 3 is placed between the two opposing vertical plates 2.

[0039] Each of the two opposing upright plates 2 is provided with a waist hole 4, and the length of the waist hole 4 extends along the height of the upright plate.

[0040] The probe fixing nut 5 is used to fix the test probe 6 and the waist hole 4, thereby fixing them to the corresponding upright plate 2. The first end of the test probe 6 on the two opposing upright plates 2 is used to contact the nearest end face of the battery under test 3.

[0041] This invention utilizes a pair of length adjustment plates, raising the two end plates and machining them into elongated openings. The height and length of the two ends are adjusted according to the long diameter and length of the battery being tested to match the device to the battery, enabling rapid testing of cylindrical batteries of different models. Specifically, the relative distance between the length adjustment plates can be adjusted to match the battery length, and the elongated openings can adjust the height of the test probes to match the height of the two poles of batteries of different models and sizes. The length and height can be manually adjusted according to different battery models and sizes to match the testing conditions. This adjustable device is suitable for performance testing of various battery models and sizes, reducing testing costs and improving testing efficiency. This battery testing clamping device can be widely used in battery testing experiments.

[0042] Specifically, the battery is a cylindrical battery. For cylindrical batteries of different diameters, the height of the test probes on the waist hole is adjusted to match the two poles of the cylindrical battery. The first end of one test probe contacts the positive pole of the cylindrical battery, and the first end of the other test probe contacts the negative pole of the cylindrical battery.

[0043] Specifically, the cylindrical battery is of the lithium iron phosphate, ternary, or sodium-ion battery type.

[0044] Furthermore, test probe 6 is a spring test probe.

[0045] The first ends of the two spring test probes are respectively in contact with the positive / negative terminals of the battery, and the second ends are connected to the test leads for testing.

[0046] Furthermore, the length adjustment plate also includes a horizontal plate 7, and the horizontal plate 7 and the vertical plate 2 of the length adjustment plate form an L shape;

[0047] The base plate 1 has two parallel strip-shaped holes 8;

[0048] The horizontal plate 7 and each strip hole 8 are provided with fixing holes 9 at corresponding positions, and the horizontal plate 7 and the base plate 1 are fixed by nuts in the fixing holes.

[0049] The horizontal plate 7 moves horizontally on the base plate 1 to adjust the length distance between the two vertical plates. After adjusting the length distance according to the battery being tested, the horizontal plate 7 is then fixed to the base plate 1 with bolts and nuts to achieve a fixed length between the two vertical plates.

[0050] Furthermore, the horizontal plate 7 has test line inlets 10 corresponding to each strip hole 8.

[0051] After the length is fixed, the test lead is introduced from below into the horizontal plate 7 through the strip hole 8, and then into the test probe for connection. This avoids the test lead extending from the end face of the base plate, shortening and elongating as the length is adjusted, which would affect aesthetics and neatness. Furthermore, having test leads at both ends connected to the test probe would compromise aesthetics and neatness, and could lead to instability in the contact connection with the test probe due to easy contact by the tester. By always entering from below, and with a relatively fixed distance between the test lead inlet 10 and the strip hole, connection to the test probe is easier and contact with the tester is reduced.

[0052] Furthermore, the base plate 1 is provided with a groove 11, and the strip hole 8 is provided in the groove 11.

[0053] Furthermore, the dimensions of the horizontal plate 7 in the first direction are adapted to the width dimensions of the groove 11;

[0054] The first direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the strip hole 8;

[0055] The length of the groove 11 is parallel to the length of the strip hole 8.

[0056] By confining the length adjustment plate within the groove, the simple design of the groove prevents the length adjustment plate from shifting in the width direction without the need for additional specialized restraint mechanisms, thus avoiding the test probes from deviating from the battery poles and affecting the test.

[0057] Furthermore, the distance from the center line between the two strip holes 8 to the two long sides of the groove 11 is the same.

[0058] Furthermore, the centerline of the waist hole along its length and the centerline between the two strip holes 8 are coplanar.

[0059] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
