Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of battery processing, in particular to a capacity all-in-one machine and production equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] The main function of the capacity all-in-one machine is to detect the contact between the detection mechanism and the pole of the battery monomer, and charge the battery. Due to the fire control condition, the existing part of the capacity all-in-one machine is in a sealed cavity state, and the heat dissipation assembly is arranged on the side plate of the capacity all-in-one machine. Among them, the installation and maintenance space needs to be reserved between adjacent capacity all-in-one machines, thereby increasing the space occupancy rate of the capacity workshop. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] In view of the above problems, the application provides a capacity all-in-one machine and production equipment, which can solve the problem that the installation and maintenance space needs to be reserved between adjacent capacity all-in-one machines, thereby increasing the space occupancy rate of the capacity workshop.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, one technical scheme adopted by the application is to provide a capacity all-in-one machine, comprising: a capacity rack; two sub-capacity cabinets arranged in the first direction on the capacity rack, the sub-capacity cabinet being provided with a sub-capacity room; a cooling room arranged between adjacent sub-capacity cabinets, the cooling room being respectively provided with a common wall with the two sub-capacity rooms and being in communication with the two sub-capacity rooms; and a temperature control assembly arranged in the cooling room.

[0005] By arranging the cooling room between the two adjacent sub-capacity cabinets, no other components need to be installed on the side of the sub-capacity cabinet, thereby no installation and maintenance space needs to be reserved, which not only reduces the space occupancy of the capacity workshop, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the capacity workshop, but also reduces the environmental control cost.

[0006] In some embodiments, the cooling room comprises a first cooling side wall and a second cooling side wall arranged oppositely, the cooling room is connected with the first cooling side wall in common wall with one sub-capacity cabinet, and the first cooling side wall is provided with a first air outlet; the cooling room is connected with the second cooling side wall in common wall with another sub-capacity cabinet, and the second cooling side wall is provided with a second air outlet. By connecting the cooling room with one sub-capacity cabinet in common wall and connecting the cooling room with another sub-capacity cabinet in common wall, the number of sealing plates is reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. In addition, one sub-capacity room is in communication with the cooling room through the first air outlet, and another sub-capacity room is in communication with the cooling room through the second air outlet, which can cool different sub-capacity rooms.

[0007] In some embodiments, a maintenance door is arranged on the front door of the cooling room away from the sub-capacity cabinet, and the maintenance door can open or close the cooling room. By limiting the position of the maintenance door, the operator can conveniently maintain and install. The maintenance door can be installed on the cooling room through a rotating structure.

[0008] In some embodiments, the capacity production system further comprises at least two capacity production devices, each of which comprises two capacity production cabinets and a cooling chamber arranged between the two capacity production cabinets, and the at least two capacity production devices are arranged in the first direction in the capacity production rack and are spliced and communicated with each other. By arranging the plurality of capacity production devices in the row, only the two side plates need to be arranged, the adjacent capacity production devices are seamlessly spliced and communicated, and no side plates or the like need to be arranged, thereby reducing the number of side plates and the manufacturing cost. Further, no maintenance channel needs to be reserved between the capacity production devices, which not only reduces the space occupation of the capacity production workshop and improves the space utilization of the capacity production workshop, but also reduces the environmental control cost.

[0009] In some embodiments, the capacity production system further comprises at least two rows of capacity production devices, each row of capacity production devices comprising at least two capacity production devices arranged in the first direction, and the at least two rows of capacity production devices are arranged in the second direction in a stacked manner; wherein the first direction and the second direction are arranged perpendicularly. By arranging the plurality of capacity production devices in the first direction and in the second direction in a stacked manner, the capacity production efficiency is improved. Since no side plates need to be arranged between the adjacent capacity production devices, the manufacturing cost is reduced.

[0010] In some embodiments, the capacity production chamber comprises a first capacity production chamber and a second capacity production chamber, and the first capacity production chamber and the second capacity production chamber are arranged in the second direction and are communicated with each other; the capacity production system further comprises a detection mechanism, the detection mechanism comprising a detection rack, a first detection assembly and a second detection assembly, the detection mechanism being arranged in the capacity production chamber, the first detection assembly and the second detection assembly being arranged in the detection rack in the second direction, the first detection assembly being arranged in the first capacity production chamber, and the second detection assembly being arranged in the second capacity production chamber. By combining the first capacity production chamber and the second capacity production chamber into one capacity production chamber, the number of independent cavities is reduced, the number of side plates is reduced, the manufacturing cost is reduced, and the first capacity production chamber and the second capacity production chamber are designed integrally. In addition, the first detection assembly and the second detection assembly are integrated on the detection rack, the detection rack is arranged in the same capacity production chamber, the first detection assembly and the second detection assembly are designed as one, and the installation and operation are facilitated.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first detection component includes a first power supply component and a first probe component. The first power supply component is located above and connected to the first probe component. The detection mechanism also includes an air guide shroud, which includes an air guide cavity with a first air guide port and a second air guide port. The first power supply component is located inside the air guide cavity, the first air guide port faces the first probe component, and the second air guide port communicates with the first sub-air inlet of the cooling chamber. By stacking the first power supply component and the first probe component vertically, the length of the power cable can be shortened and heat generation reduced. Furthermore, by providing the aforementioned air guide shroud, heat in the air guide cavity enters the cooling chamber through the second air guide port and the first sub-air inlet, reducing the impact of the heat from the first power supply component in the first capacity chamber on the battery in the second capacity chamber, thereby improving temperature consistency between the first and second capacity chambers.

[0012] In some embodiments, the testing frame includes a first testing frame, a second testing frame, and at least two support brackets. A first testing component is disposed on the first testing frame, a second testing component is disposed on the second testing frame, and at least two support brackets are connected between the first and second testing frames. The first and second testing frames are joined together by the support brackets, so that both the first and second testing components are integrated on the same testing frame.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first testing frame includes a first bottom frame, a first middle frame, a first top frame, and at least two first connecting shafts. The first middle frame is located between the first bottom frame and the first top frame, and the first connecting shafts pass through the first middle frame and connect to the first bottom frame and the first top frame. The testing mechanism includes a first driving assembly, which includes a first driving body and a first driving shaft connected to the first driving body. The first driving body is disposed on the first testing frame, and the first driving shaft is connected to the first middle frame to drive the first top frame to move toward or away from the first top frame. Through the cooperation of the first bottom frame, first middle frame, first top frame, at least two first connecting shafts in the first testing mechanism, and the first driving body and first driving shaft in the first driving assembly, the contact rate between the battery cells in the first middle frame and the probes in the first top frame is improved.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first testing frame further includes at least two first guide shafts, which are sleeved on corresponding first connecting shafts and connected to the first middle frame. The first guide shafts can play a guiding role, enabling the first middle frame to move along the first connecting shafts to prevent the position of the first middle frame from shifting, thereby improving the contact rate between the battery cell and the probe in the corresponding probe assembly.

[0015] In some implementations, the enclosure includes a front door equipped with a safety sensor. The safety sensor can be used for safety detection, improving operator safety.

[0016] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is to provide a production equipment for producing batteries, the production equipment including the aforementioned integrated capacity machine.

[0033] Currently, judging from market trends, the application of power batteries is becoming increasingly widespread. Power batteries are not only used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, but also extensively used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric cars, as well as in military equipment and aerospace. With the continuous expansion of power battery applications, market demand is also constantly increasing.

[0034] In the manufacturing process of power batteries, formation and capacity testing are crucial steps. These processes take place within the battery formation and capacity testing chamber, requiring the battery to undergo a certain period of charging and discharging during these stages.

[0035] Due to fire safety constraints, some existing integrated capacity testing units are housed in sealed chambers, with heat dissipation components located on their side panels. This necessitates reserving installation and maintenance space between adjacent units, thus increasing the space occupancy rate of the capacity testing workshop.

[0036] To address the issue of needing to reserve installation and maintenance space between adjacent capacity distribution units, thereby increasing the space occupancy rate of the capacity distribution workshop, this application, after in-depth research, designs an integrated capacity distribution unit. By placing the cooling chamber between two adjacent capacity distribution cabinets, no other components need to be installed on the sides of the cabinets, thus eliminating the need for reserved installation and maintenance space. This not only reduces the space occupancy rate of the capacity distribution workshop, thereby improving its space utilization, but also lowers environmental management costs. Furthermore, the cooling chamber is shared with and connected to both capacity distribution cabinets, reducing the number of side walls and thus saving manufacturing costs.

[0037] The integrated capacity generator disclosed in this application is not only applicable to the battery manufacturing of new energy vehicles, but also applicable to the battery manufacturing of equipment such as aircraft and ships.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a partial schematic diagram of a capacity analyzer according to one or more embodiments. This application provides a capacity analyzer. The capacity analyzer 10 includes a capacity rack 11, two capacity-grading cabinets 121, a cooling chamber 122, and a temperature control component (not shown in the figure). The capacity rack 11 provides mounting positions for the two capacity-grading cabinets 121 and the cooling chamber 122. The two capacity-grading cabinets 121 are arranged along a first direction X in the capacity rack 11. The first direction X may be, but is not limited to, a horizontal direction. For example, the two capacity-grading cabinets 121 are arranged horizontally within the capacity rack 11. The capacity-grading cabinets 121 are provided with a capacity-grading chamber 1212. The capacity-grading chamber 1212 can be used to accommodate a testing mechanism 14 and individual battery cells (not shown in the figure), etc.

[0039] A cooling chamber 122 is positioned between adjacent compartments 121. One compartment 121 is located to the left of the cooling chamber 122, and the other compartment 121 is located to the right of the cooling chamber 122. The cooling chamber 122 shares a wall with both compartments 1212. Specifically, the left wall of the cooling chamber 122 shares a side wall with the right wall of one compartment 1212; similarly, the right wall of the cooling chamber 122 shares a side wall with the left wall of the other compartment 1212. Furthermore, the cooling chamber 122 is connected to both compartments 1212. A temperature control component is installed in the cooling chamber 122. The temperature control component is capable of generating at least a portion of cold air for cooling the interiors of the two compartments 1212 and other structures.

[0040] By placing the cooling chamber 122 between two adjacent capacity distribution cabinets 121, no other components need to be installed on the sides of the capacity distribution cabinets 121, thus eliminating the need to reserve space for installation and maintenance. This not only reduces the space occupied in the capacity workshop and improves the space utilization rate of the capacity workshop, but also reduces environmental management costs. In addition, the cooling chamber 122 is set on the same wall and connected to the two capacity distribution cabinets 121, which reduces the number of side walls and thus saves manufacturing costs.

[0041] The aforementioned temperature control components can be of any structure, as long as they can cool the compartment 1212. These components may include, but are not limited to, heat exchangers (not shown in the figure) and fan assemblies (not shown in the figure). The cooling capacity of the heat exchange medium in the heat exchanger is released into the cooling chamber 122. When the fan assembly drives the airflow within the compartment 1212, the cooling capacity of the heat exchange medium can be dispersed to different locations within the compartment 1212, thereby accelerating heat exchange between the heat exchange medium and the air and other structures within the compartment 1212, thus contributing to the temperature uniformity within the compartment 1212.

[0042] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The structural diagram shown in Figure A. Combined with... Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cooling chamber 122 includes a first cooling sidewall 1221 and a second cooling sidewall (not shown in the figure) disposed opposite to each other. The cooling chamber 122 and the container 121 are connected by the first cooling sidewall 1221. For example, the left side of the cooling chamber 122 and the right side of the container 121 are connected by the first cooling sidewall 1221. The first cooling sidewall 1221 is provided with a first air outlet 12211. The container 1212 communicates with the cooling chamber 122 through the first air outlet 12211, etc.

[0043] The cooling chamber 122 and another compartment 121 share a second cooling sidewall. For example, the right side of the cooling chamber 122 and the left side of the other compartment 121 share this second cooling sidewall. The second cooling sidewall is provided with a second air outlet (not shown in the figure). The other compartment 1212 communicates with the cooling chamber 122 through the second air outlet, etc.

[0044] By connecting the cooling chamber 122 to one compartment 121 via a shared wall, and connecting the cooling chamber 122 to another compartment 121 via a shared wall, the number of sealing plates 1211 is reduced, thereby lowering manufacturing costs. Furthermore, one compartment 1212 is connected to the cooling chamber 122 via a first air outlet 12211; the other compartment 1212 is connected to the cooling chamber 122 via a second air outlet, enabling cooling of different compartments 1212.

[0045] In some embodiments, the container 121 may be provided with an air outlet (not shown in the figure). The air outlet is located at a location other than the first cooling sidewall 1221 or the second cooling sidewall of the container 1212. Heat in the container 1212 can flow out of the container 121 through the air outlet. Alternatively, the first cooling sidewall 1221 and / or the second cooling sidewall of the cooling chamber 122 are provided with air outlets. The air outlet is connected to the cooling chamber 122. The air outlet is the air inlet of the cooling chamber 122. For example, a first air inlet 12212 is provided on the first cooling sidewall 1221. That is, a container 121 is connected to the cooling chamber 122 through the first air outlet 12211 and the first air inlet 12212, so that a gas circulation is formed between the cooling chamber 122 and the container 121. A second air inlet is provided on the second cooling sidewall. Another compartment 1212 is connected to the cooling compartment 122 via a second air outlet and a second air inlet, so that gas circulation is formed between the cooling compartment 122 and the other compartment 121. This structure improves the utilization rate of the airflow output from the temperature control components.

[0046] In some embodiments, the cooling chamber 122 is provided with at least one first air outlet 12211 and at least one second air outlet (not shown in the figure). Temperature control components are respectively connected to the at least one first air outlet 12211 and the at least one second air outlet. The number of temperature control components may be, but is not limited to, one, two, three, four or more. When there is only one temperature control component, all temperature control components are connected to at least one first air outlet 12211 and at least one second air outlet. When the number of temperature control components is the same as the number of at least one first air outlet 12211 and at least one second air outlet, each of the at least one first air outlet 12211 and at least one second air outlet is connected to its corresponding temperature control component.

[0047] Similarly, when the first cooling sidewall 1221 is provided with at least one first air inlet 12212 and the second cooling sidewall is provided with at least one second air inlet, the temperature control component is respectively connected to at least one first air inlet 12212 and at least one second air inlet.

[0048] In some embodiments, a maintenance door (not shown in the figure) is provided on the front door of the cooling chamber 122 away from the compartment 121. The maintenance door can open or close the cooling chamber 122. By defining the position of the maintenance door, it is convenient for the operator to perform maintenance, installation, etc. The maintenance door can be installed on the cooling chamber 122, etc., by means of a rotating structure (not shown in the figure).

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The structural diagram shown in Figure B. Combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the integrated capacity unit 10 further includes at least two capacity-distributing devices 12. The number of capacity-distributing devices 12 can be two, three, four, or more than five. Each capacity-distributing device 12 includes two capacity-distributing cabinets 121 and a cooling chamber 122 disposed between the two capacity-distributing cabinets 121. That is, the capacity-distributing device 12 includes the aforementioned capacity-distributing cabinets 121, cooling chamber 122, and temperature control components. The capacity-distributing devices 12 are arranged along a first direction X on the capacity rack 11. For example, the capacity-distributing devices 12 are arranged horizontally on the capacity rack 11. Adjacent capacity-distributing devices 12 are spliced ​​and connected. In this way, multiple capacity-distributing devices 12 arranged in a row only need to be provided with sealing plates 1211 on both sides, and adjacent capacity-distributing devices 12 are seamlessly spliced ​​and connected, without the need for sealing plates 1211, etc., reducing the number of sealing plates 1211 and thus reducing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, there is no need to reserve maintenance passages between the capacity-distributing devices 12, which not only reduces the space occupied in the capacity workshop and thus improves the space utilization rate of the capacity workshop, but also reduces environmental management costs.

[0050] For example, when there are two capacity-sharing devices 12, one capacity-sharing device 12 has a sealing plate 1211 on its left side; the other capacity-sharing device 12 has a sealing plate 1211 on its right side; and there is no sealing plate 1211 connecting adjacent capacity-sharing devices 12. For example, when there are three capacity-sharing devices 12, one capacity-sharing device 12 has a sealing plate 1211 on its left side. Another capacity-sharing device 12 has a sealing plate 1211 on its right side. The left side of another capacity-sharing device 12 is connected to the right side of one capacity-sharing device 12 without a sealing plate 1211, and the right side of another capacity-sharing device 12 is connected to the left side of yet another capacity-sharing device 12 without a sealing plate 1211. Of course, the capacity-sharing devices 12 can also include three, four, or more. The arrangement of multiple capacity-sharing devices 12 is the same as above, and will not be repeated here.

[0051] In other embodiments, adjacent capacity-sharing devices 12 are spliced ​​together. Furthermore, adjacent capacity-sharing devices 12 can share a common wall connection, meaning they share a sealing plate 1211. This method also reduces the number of sealing plates 1211, thereby lowering manufacturing costs.

[0052] In some embodiments, the integrated capacity generator 10 further includes at least two rows of capacity-dividing devices 12. The integrated capacity generator 10 may include two, three, four, or more rows of capacity-dividing devices 12. Each row of capacity-dividing devices 12 includes at least two capacity-dividing devices 12 arranged along a first direction X. Each row of capacity-dividing devices 12 may include two, three, four, or more capacity-dividing devices 12. When the integrated capacity generator 10 includes at least two rows of capacity-dividing devices 12, the at least two rows of capacity-dividing devices 12 are stacked along a second direction Y. The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular. When two adjacent capacity-dividing devices 12 are stacked, the bottom wall of one capacity-dividing device 12 and the top wall of another capacity-dividing device 12 may or may not share a wall; this is not limited here.

[0053] By arranging multiple capacity-separating devices 12 along the first direction X and stacking them along the second direction Y, the formation and capacity-separating efficiency is improved. Since there is no need for a sealing plate 1211 between adjacent capacity-separating devices 12, manufacturing costs are reduced.

[0054] In this embodiment, the integrated capacity generator 10 includes four capacity distribution devices 12. The four capacity distribution devices 12 are arranged in two rows. Each row of capacity distribution devices 12 includes two capacity distribution devices 12 arranged along a first direction X. The two rows of capacity distribution devices 12 are stacked along a second direction Y. One capacity distribution device 12 is located below another capacity distribution device 12, and the two do not share a wall.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 The structural diagram shown in C is as follows; Figure 5 This is a structural schematic diagram of the detection mechanism in a capacity-integrated machine according to one or more embodiments. (Combined with...) Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the compartment 1212 includes a first compartment 12121 and a second compartment 12122. The first compartment 12121 and the second compartment 12122 are arranged along a second direction Y. The second direction Y can be, but is not limited to, a vertical direction. For example, the first compartment 12121 and the second compartment 12122 are arranged in a stacked manner, with the second compartment 12122 located above the first compartment 12121. The first compartment 12121 and the second compartment 12122 are interconnected.

[0056] The integrated capacity testing machine 10 also includes a testing mechanism 14. The testing mechanism 14 includes a testing frame 141, a first testing component 142, and a second testing component 143. The testing frame 141 is disposed in the capacity distribution chamber 1212. The testing frame 141 is detachably or fixedly connected to the capacity distribution chamber 1212. The testing frame 141 provides mounting positions for the first testing component 142 and the second testing component 143. The first testing component 142 and the second testing component 143 are arranged along a second direction Y on the testing frame 141. When the second direction Y is vertical, the second testing component 143 is located above the first testing component 142. The first testing component 142 is detachably or fixedly connected to the testing frame 141. The second testing component 143 is detachably or fixedly connected to the testing frame 141. When the first testing component 142 is arranged on the testing frame 141, the first testing component 142 is located in the first capacity distribution chamber 12121. When the second detection component 143 is arranged on the detection frame 141, the second detection component 143 is located in the second compartment 12122.

[0057] By merging the first and second compartments 12121 into a single compartment 1212, the number of independent cavities is reduced. Furthermore, the elimination of structures such as sealing plates 1211 reduces the number of sealing plates 1211, thereby lowering manufacturing costs. Additionally, it allows for an integrated design of the first and second compartments 12121 and 12122. Moreover, the first detection component 142 and the second detection component 143 are both integrated onto the detection frame 141, which is located within the same compartment 1212, achieving a combined design that facilitates installation and operation.

[0058] In this embodiment, the testing frame 141 is detachably connected to the base plate of the sorting cabinet 121 by bolts or other means. The first testing component 142 and the second testing component 143 are both detachably connected to the testing frame 141 by bolts or other means.

[0059] During the process of dividing the cooling chamber 1212 into the first cooling chamber 12121 and the second cooling chamber 12122, the air outlet and / or air inlet of the cooling chamber 122 need to be connected to the corresponding first cooling chamber 12121 and second cooling chamber 12122. Therefore, the cooling chamber 122 has two air outlets, namely a first sub-air outlet 12211a and a second sub-air outlet 12211b. The cooling chamber 122 may also have two air inlets, namely a first sub-air inlet 12212a and a second sub-air inlet 12212b.

[0060] When the first detection component 142 is disposed on the detection frame 141 and located in the first compartment 12121, the projection positions of the first detection component 142, the first sub-air outlet 12211a, and the first sub-air inlet 12212a on the first plane satisfy the condition that the first detection component 142 is at least partially located between the first sub-air outlet 12211a and the first sub-air inlet 12212a of the cooling chamber 122. For example, the first plane may be arranged parallel to the first cooling sidewall 1221 and / or the second cooling sidewall of the cooling chamber 122. When the airflow flows from the first sub-air outlet 12211a to the first sub-air inlet 12212a, the airflow passes through the first detection component 142, which can cool the first detection component 142 and the portion of the battery cell close to the first detection component 142.

[0061] When the second detection component 143 is arranged on the detection frame 141 and located in the second compartment 12122, the projected positions of the second detection component 143, the second sub-air outlet 12211b, and the second sub-air inlet 12212b on the first plane satisfy the condition that the second detection component 143 is at least partially located between the second sub-air outlet 12211b and the second sub-air inlet 12212b of the cooling compartment 122. When the airflow flows from the second sub-air outlet 12211b to the second sub-air inlet 12212b, the airflow passes through the second detection component 143, which can cool the second detection component 143 and the portion of the battery cell close to the second detection component 143.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first detection component 142 includes a first power supply component (not shown in the figure) and a first probe component 1422. The first power supply component is used to provide power. The first probe component 1422 is used to contact the terminals of the battery cell. The first detection component 142 performs capacity testing on the battery cell. The first power supply component is located above the first probe component 1422; at the same time, the first power supply component is connected to the first probe component 1422. By stacking the first power supply component and the first probe component 1422 vertically, the length of the power cable can be shortened, thereby reducing the cost of the power cable. In addition, when the power cable is shortened, the heat generated by the power cable itself can be reduced.

[0063] The testing mechanism 14 also includes an air guide shroud 144. The air guide shroud 144 includes an air guide cavity (not shown in the figure) having a first air guide port (not shown) and a second air guide port (not shown in the figure). Both the first and second air guide ports are connected to the air guide cavity. A first power supply assembly is located within the air guide cavity. The first air guide port faces the first probe assembly 1422, so that the first probe assembly 1422 and the first power supply assembly are in a connected state. The second air guide port is connected to the first sub-inlet 12212a of the cooling chamber 122. Gas in the cooling chamber 122 flows sequentially along the first outlet 12211, the first probe assembly 1422, the first air guide port, the first power supply assembly, the second air guide port, and the first sub-inlet 12212a.

[0064] When the capacity analyzer 10 is operating, the heat generated by the first power supply component, located above the first probe component 1422, may affect the battery in the second capacity chamber 12122. By setting the aforementioned air guide shroud 144, the heat in the air guide cavity enters the cooling chamber 122 through the second air guide port and the first sub-air inlet 12212a, reducing the impact of the heat from the first power supply component in the first capacity chamber 12121 on the battery in the second capacity chamber 12122, thereby improving the temperature consistency between the first capacity chamber 12121 and the second capacity chamber 12122.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second air vent may be located at one end of the air hood 144 away from the cooling chamber 122; or, the second air vent may be at least partially located at one end of the air hood 144 near the front door; or, the second air vent may be at least partially located at one end of the air hood 144 away from the front door. By defining the location of the second air vent, airflow can pass through the entire first power supply component, thereby carrying away more heat and further improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0066] The second detection component 143 and the first detection component 142 have the same structure. The second detection component 143 includes a second power supply component 1431 and a second probe component 1432. The second power supply component 1431 is located above and connected to the second probe component 1432. Because the top wall of the capacity sorting cabinet 121 shields the upper part of the second power supply component 1431, the influence of the second detection component 143 on the batteries in other capacity sorting cabinets 121 can be reduced. That is, the air guide shroud 144 does not need to be set on the outer periphery of the second power supply component 1431, reducing the number of parts used and thus reducing costs; at the same time, it also reduces installation steps, etc.

[0067] In some embodiments, the testing frame 141 includes a first testing frame 1411, a second testing frame 1412, and at least two support brackets 1413. A first testing component 142 is disposed on the first testing frame 1411, and the first testing frame 1411 provides a mounting position for the first testing component 142. A second testing component 143 is disposed on the second testing frame 1412, and the second testing frame 1412 provides a mounting position for the second testing component 143. At least two support brackets 1413 connect the first testing frame 1411 and the second testing frame 1412. The support brackets 1413 not only serve a connecting function but also provide a supporting function. In this manner, the first testing component 142 is independently disposed on the first testing frame 1411, the second testing component 143 is independently disposed on the second testing frame 1412, and the support brackets 1413 unite the first testing frame 1411 and the second testing frame 1412, so that both the first testing component 142 and the second testing component 143 are integrated on the same testing frame 141.

[0068] The first testing frame 1411 and the second testing frame 1412 described above may be partially the same or completely identical, and this is not limited here. The specific structure of the first testing frame 1411 is as follows: The first testing frame 1411 includes a first bottom frame 14111, a first middle frame 14112, a first top frame 14113, and at least two first connecting shafts 14114. The number of first connecting shafts 14114 may be, but is not limited to, two, three, or four or more. The first middle frame 14112 is located between the first bottom frame 14111 and the first top frame 14113. The first top frame 14113 is located above the first middle frame 14112, and the first bottom frame 14111 is located below the first middle frame 14112. The first connecting shafts 14114 pass through the first middle frame 14112. At the same time, the first connecting shafts 14114 connect the first bottom frame 14111 and the first top frame 14113. That is, the first connecting shaft 14114 not only connects the first bottom frame 14111 and the first top frame 14113, but also serves as a guide so that the first middle frame 14112 can move up and down along the first connecting shaft 14114.

[0069] The testing mechanism 14 includes a first drive assembly 145. The first drive assembly 145 provides driving force for the movement of the first middle frame 14112. The first drive assembly 145 includes a first drive body 1451 and a first drive shaft 1452. One end of the first drive body 1451 is connected to the first drive shaft 1452. The first drive body 1451 is disposed on the first testing frame 1411. The first drive body 1451 can be detachably disposed at any of three positions within the first testing frame 14111: the first bottom frame 14111, the first middle frame 14112, or the first upper frame 14113. The first drive body 1451 is connected to the first middle frame 14112. The first drive shaft 1452 is connected to the first middle frame 14112 and is used to drive the first upper frame 14113 to move towards or away from the first upper frame 14113. The first drive shaft 1452 can be connected to the first middle frame 14112 by snap-fit, plug-in, or bolt methods. Through the cooperation of the first bottom frame 14111, the first middle frame 14112, the first upper frame 14113, the at least two first connecting shafts 14114 in the first detection mechanism 14, and the first driving body 1451 and the first driving shaft 1452 in the first driving assembly 145, the contact rate between the battery cell in the first middle frame 14112 and the probe in the first upper frame 14113 is improved.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first detection mechanism 14 includes four first connecting shafts 14114. The four first connecting shafts 14114 are disposed at the four corners of the first detection frame 1411. The first drive body 1451 is at least partially disposed on the top of the first upper frame 14113 and at least partially disposed on the outer periphery of the first upper frame 14113.

[0071] The first drive assembly 145 described above may be, but is not limited to, a drive cylinder (not shown in the figure), a drive motor (not shown in the figure), etc. The first drive assembly 145 may also be driven by a lead screw pair or a gear and rack mechanism, etc.

[0072] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 5 The structural diagram shown in Figure D. Combined with... Figures 1 to 5 The first testing frame 1411 also includes at least two first guide shafts 14115. The number of first guide shafts 14115 can be, but is not limited to, two, three, four, or more than five. The first guide shafts 14115 are sleeved on the first connecting shaft 14114; at the same time, the first guide shafts 14115 are connected to the first middle frame 14112. The first guide shafts 14115 can play a guiding role, enabling the first middle frame 14112 to move along the first connecting shaft 14114, so as to prevent the position of the first middle frame 14112 from being offset, thereby improving the contact rate between the battery cell and the probe in the corresponding first probe assembly 1422.

[0073] The number of first guide shafts 14115 can be the same as or different from the number of first connecting shafts 14114. When the number of first guide shafts 14115 is the same as the number of first connecting shafts 14114, each first connecting shaft 14114 is fitted with a corresponding first guide shaft 14115. When the number of first guide shafts 14115 is different from the number of first connecting shafts 14114, the first guide shafts 14115 can be arbitrarily fitted onto the corresponding first connecting shafts 14114.

[0074] The first guide shaft 14115 can be connected to the side of the first middle frame 14112 facing the first upper frame 14113. Alternatively, the first guide shaft 14115 can be connected to the side of the first middle frame 14112 facing the first bottom frame 14111. The connection method can be, but is not limited to, detachable or fixed connection. Detachable methods can be, but are not limited to, snap-fit, plug-in, and bolt connection. Fixed connections can be, but are not limited to, welding and integral molding.

[0075] In this embodiment, there are four first guide shafts 14115 and four first connecting shafts 14114.
