Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0028] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connecting", "fixing" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integrated; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] Although the present application is disclosed with the preferred embodiments as above, it is not intended to limit the claims, and any person skilled in the art can make several possible changes and modifications without departing from the concept of the present application, therefore the protection scope of the present application should be limited by the scope defined by the claims of the present application.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1-6 The present application provides a plug-in probe, comprising: a main body part 1, a through hole 11 is arranged inside the main body part 1, a voltage needle 2 is arranged in the through hole 11, the voltage needle 2 is the first part for measuring voltage after the plug-in probe is pressed and contacts the battery, a first annular protrusion 12 is arranged on one end of the main body part 1; a current head 3, the current head 3 is the second part for measuring current and contacts the battery, the current head 3 is provided with a first stepped hole 31 and a first inner hole 32 coaxially arranged, a first clamping groove 33 is circumferentially arranged on the wall surface of the first inner hole 32; the current head 3 is sleeved on the first annular protrusion 12 through the first stepped hole 31, and the shape of the first stepped hole 31 and the shape of the first annular protrusion 12 are engaged to limit the rotation of the current head 3, a spring 34 is arranged in the first clamping groove 33, a plurality of first clamping grooves 33 can be arranged to accommodate a plurality of springs 34 to ensure the stability of the connection between the current head 3 and the main body part 1, and the current head 3 is sleeved on one end of the main body part 1 through the spring 34.

[0031] The current head 3 is supported by the elastic force provided by the spring 34 to realize the clamping connection of the main body part 1 and the current head 3. Since the spring 34 can be deformed under force, the clamping state of the current head 3 and the spring 34 is changed, so that the current head 3 and the main body part 1 are detachably connected, and the current head 3 can be disassembled and assembled by pulling and inserting with force. Since the current head 3 and the main body part 1 are relatively rotatable due to the detachable connection, the current head 3 and the main body part 1 are prone to looseness. The first annular protrusion 12 can realize the engagement of the stepped hole and the shape of the first annular protrusion 12 to limit the rotation of the current head 3, thereby improving the stability of the current measurement.

[0032] Preferably, the middle part of the main body part 1 is sleeved with a fixing sleeve 4, which is a part for fixing the voltage needle 2 and external parts for moving the voltage needle 2. The fixing sleeve 4 is abutted with the first annular protrusion 12 at one end of the main body part 1 in the axial direction through the first elastic member 5. The first elastic member 5 is used to provide elastic force for the current head 3 to prevent the current head 3 from being in rigid contact with the battery. The other end is abutted with the convex nut 6 arranged at one end of the main body part 1. Since the first elastic member 5 is abutted with the first annular protrusion 12, the force of the first elastic member 5 will not act on the current head 3, thereby reducing the force acting on the current head 3 and reducing the looseness of the current head 3.

[0033] Preferably, the projection of the first annular protrusion 12 in the axial direction of the main body part 1 has a plurality of protruding parts 121, and the first stepped hole 31 is provided with a recess part 311 at the corresponding position of the protruding part 121. The plurality of protruding parts 121 can reduce the relative sliding between the current head 3 and the first annular protrusion 12 and improve the stability of the current head 3.

[0034] Preferably, the through hole 11 is provided with a second stepped hole 111, and the first support member 21 is arranged at the step of the second stepped hole 111. The first support member 21 is provided with an avoiding hole in the center, and the first support member 21 is abutted with the second elastic member 23. The second elastic member 23 is abutted with the voltage needle 2 to provide elastic force for the voltage needle 2. The second stepped hole 111 can be provided with the first support member 21, and the first support member 21 can well support the second elastic member 23 to make the supporting force of the second elastic member 23 to the voltage needle 2 not easy to deviate, so that the size of the force acting on the voltage needle 2 when the voltage needle 2 contacts the battery is appropriate, and the direction is accurate.

[0035] Preferably, the voltage needle 2 is in the shape of a "T", and the voltage needle 2 comprises a stem 28 and a voltage needle head 24 connected together. The shape of the voltage needle 2 is set to be a "T" shape, so that the width of the voltage needle head is larger, and the contact range is larger, so that the voltage needle head 24 is more likely to contact the appropriate position of the battery. Preferably, the stem 28 and the voltage needle head 24 are fixedly connected, so as to improve the stability of the voltage needle head 24, and the sampling is more accurate. The voltage needle head 24 is in abutment with the second elastic member 23 through the second support 22. The shape of the second support 22 matches the shape of the second elastic member 23 and the voltage needle head 24. The shape of the second support 22 is a composite shape with a circular center and rectangular sides. The circular center matches the shape of the second elastic member 23, so that the second elastic member 23 can uniformly provide elastic force for the voltage needle head 24 through the second support 22, so that the force of the voltage needle 2 on the battery is more uniform. The rectangular sides match the shape of the voltage needle head 24, so as to provide better support for the voltage needle head 24.

[0036] Preferably, the second support 22 is provided with a first recess 221, and the shape of the first recess 221 matches the shape of the voltage needle head 24, so as to accommodate the voltage needle head 24. The voltage needle head 24 can be stably installed on the second support 22. When the voltage needle 2 is pressed to contact the battery, the voltage needle head 24 remains stable, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the entire device.

[0037] Preferably, the main body 1 is provided with a second recess, and the shape of the second recess matches the shape of the second support 22, so as to accommodate the second support 22. The second support 22 moves in the axial direction of the main body 1 in the second recess, and the movement of the second support 22 in other directions is limited. The movement position of the voltage needle 2 can be controlled, so that the voltage needle 2 and the current head 3 can contact the battery in sequence.

[0038] Preferably, a second inner hole 112 is arranged in the through hole 11, a limiting piece 25 is arranged in the second inner hole 112, a limiting hole 26 is arranged in the corresponding position of the limiting piece 25, and a limiting pin 27 is arranged in the limiting piece 25. The limiting pin 27 passes through the limiting hole 26 and the limiting piece 25. The limiting hole 26 can limit the displacement of the voltage needle 2 and be used to control the position of the voltage needle 2 so as not to contact the through hole 11.

[0039] Preferably, the limiting hole 26 is in the shape of a long strip, and the length direction of the limiting hole 26 is consistent with the movement direction of the voltage needle 2, so that the voltage needle 2 can move more accurately within a certain range.

[0040] Preferably, the outer periphery of the main body 1 at the end away from the current head 3 is provided with external threads 13, the convex nut 6 is threadedly connected with the main body 1 through the external threads 13, a positioning nut 7 is arranged on the side of the convex nut 6 away from the fixing sleeve 4, the positioning nut 7 is threadedly connected with the main body 1, and a support frame 8 is arranged between the positioning nut 7 and the convex nut 6 for external electrical connection, which not only provides structural support, but also can help guide the current to the appropriate position, ensuring the stability and reliability of the current transmission.

[0041] The above description shows and describes several preferred embodiments of the present application, but as before, it should be understood that the present application is not limited to the forms disclosed herein, should not be considered as excluding other embodiments, and can be used in various other combinations, modifications and environments, and can be modified within the scope of the present application conceived herein, through the above teachings or related technical or knowledge. Any modification and change made by the person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application shall be within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
