Detailed Implementation Methods

[0027] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] Specific embodiments, combined with Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the technical solution of this utility model is further explained. An automatic short-circuit testing battery assembly and testing device includes a main body 1. The main body 1 is provided with a transmission device 11 for transmitting batteries. On one side of the transmission device 11, there is a testing device 12 for packaging and testing the condition of the batteries. On the other side of the transmission device 11, there is a sorting and collecting device 13 that operates according to the testing condition of the testing device 12. The testing device 12 includes a packaging mechanism 121 for packaging and positioning the batteries transmitted by the transmission device 11, and a measuring mechanism 122 for testing the batteries after they have been processed and positioned by the packaging mechanism 121.

[0029] During this process, the battery is processed and then transferred to the transmission device 11. When the battery passes through the testing device 12, the packaging mechanism 121 first packages and positions the battery to facilitate testing when it is transferred to the testing mechanism 122. After the testing mechanism 122 completes the testing, its test result signal is transmitted to the sorting and collection device 13, so that the sorting and collection device 13 can classify and collect the battery according to the test result signal. The battery may have already undergone the previous process for testing, packaging, and sorting, or it may be specifically designed to test the usage status of a particular type of battery. Optionally, a packaging device can be installed at the sorting and collection device 13 to package the sorted batteries, further improving the efficiency of the battery production process.

[0030] In this embodiment, the transmission device 11 includes a transmission mechanism 111 for receiving batteries and transmitting them to the calibration device 12, and a drive mechanism for driving the transmission mechanism 111. The transmission mechanism 111 is provided with a plurality of receiving slots 1111 for placing batteries.

[0031] Furthermore, the shape of the transmission mechanism 111 can be strip-shaped, square, or other shapes that facilitate transmission, detection, and collection. As a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the transmission mechanism 111 is a disc-shaped structural component.

[0032] In this embodiment, the packaging mechanism 121 includes a first sensor 1211 for detecting the battery's position and a pair of positioning cylinders 1212 for cooperating in positioning the battery after receiving a signal from the first sensor 1211. After packaging is completed, the pair of positioning cylinders 1212 adjust and position the battery to facilitate the testing work after the battery is transferred to the measuring mechanism 122.

[0033] Furthermore, the measuring mechanism 122 includes a support column 1221 disposed on the main body 1 of the device and a detection element 1222 disposed on one side of the support column 1221 corresponding to the battery. The measuring mechanism 122 also includes a second sensor 1223 for detecting the battery's position and a driving element 1224 for driving the detection element 1222 to act to detect the battery's condition when a signal from the second sensor 1223 is received.

[0034] Furthermore, the second sensor 1223 is disposed on the support column 1221, and the driving component 1224 is a cylinder with the detection component 1222 mounted on one side.

[0035] Furthermore, the detection element 1222 can be, as a preferred embodiment of this solution rather than a limitation, a mating element 1112 that cooperates with the detection element 1222 to form a passage on one side of the receiving groove 1111. The mating element 1112 is in contact with one electrode of the battery. When the detection element 1222 moves to contact the other electrode of the battery, it forms a passage with the battery as the power source with the mating element 1112, which is used to determine whether the battery is in a normal or short-circuit state.

[0036] Furthermore, the positions of the packaging mechanism 121 and the measuring mechanism 122 are set according to actual needs, ensuring that the battery is packaged and positioned by the packaging mechanism 121 and then transferred to the measuring mechanism 122. As a preferred embodiment of this solution, rather than a limitation, the packaging mechanism 121 and the measuring mechanism 122 are arranged adjacent to each other, so that the battery can be directly tested by the measuring mechanism 122 after positioning.

[0037] In this embodiment, the sorting and collecting device 13 includes a clamping mechanism 131 that is synchronized with the action signal of the transmission mechanism 111 for clamping the battery and detaching it from the transmission mechanism 111. One side of the clamping mechanism 131 is provided with a first collecting mechanism 132 for receiving and storing normal batteries and a second collecting mechanism 133 for receiving and storing abnormal batteries such as those with short circuits. The other side of the clamping mechanism 131 is provided with a first driving cylinder 134 corresponding to the first collecting mechanism 132 for cooperating with the clamping mechanism 131 to transfer the battery to the first collecting mechanism 132, and a second driving cylinder 135 corresponding to the second collecting mechanism 133 for cooperating with the clamping mechanism 131 to transfer the battery to the second collecting mechanism 133. The first driving cylinder 134 and the second driving cylinder 135 are respectively electrically connected to the detection element 1222.

[0038] In this process, when the detection element 1222 detects that the battery is in a normal state, it transmits a signal to the first drive cylinder 134. When the battery is picked up by the clamping mechanism 131, the first drive cylinder 134 actuates and, in cooperation with the clamping mechanism 131, pushes the battery to the first collection mechanism 132. When the detection element 1222 detects that the battery is in an abnormal state, it transmits a signal to the second drive cylinder 135. When the battery is picked up by the clamping mechanism 131, the second drive cylinder 135 actuates and, in cooperation with the clamping mechanism 131, pushes the battery to the second collection mechanism 133. Thus, the battery completes a series of automated processes, including transportation, packaging and positioning, status detection, and temporary storage, improving the automation level and production efficiency of battery production.

[0039] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the clamping mechanism 131 is a cylinder that can move with the transmission mechanism 111 and drive the battery to disengage from the transmission mechanism 111.

[0040] Furthermore, the sorting and collecting device 13 is positioned on a side that facilitates collection and storage. The action signals of the first driving cylinder 134 and the second driving cylinder 135 are set according to the relative positions of the sorting and collecting device 13 and the measuring mechanism 122, so as to cooperate with the clamping mechanism 131 to sort and store normal and abnormal batteries.

[0041] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0042] This utility model proposes an automatic short-circuit testing device and a battery testing equipment with the same. By setting a testing mechanism 122 between the battery packaging and collection, and using the packaging mechanism 121 to position the battery, a classification and collection device 13 classifies and collects normal or abnormal batteries, thereby improving the efficiency and automation level of battery production. Its specific working principle is as follows:

[0043] After processing, the battery is transferred to the transmission device 11. When the battery passes through the testing device 12, the packaging mechanism 121 first packages and positions the battery to facilitate testing when the battery is transferred to the testing mechanism 122. After the testing mechanism 122 completes the testing of the battery, its test result signal is transmitted to the classification and collection device 13 so that the classification and collection device 13 can classify and collect the battery according to the test result signal.

[0044] In this process, when the detection element 1222 detects that the battery is in normal condition, it transmits a signal to the first drive cylinder 134. After the battery is transferred to the clamping mechanism 131 for clamping, the first drive cylinder 134 actuates and cooperates with the clamping mechanism 131 to push the battery to the first collection mechanism 132. When the detection element 1222 detects that the battery is in abnormal condition, it transmits a signal to the second drive cylinder 135. After the battery is transferred to the clamping mechanism 131 for clamping, the second drive cylinder 135 actuates and cooperates with the clamping mechanism 131 to push the battery to the second collection mechanism 133. Thus, the battery not only completes a series of automated processes such as transportation, packaging positioning, status detection, and temporary storage, but also ensures the battery packaging quality and saves the time required for subsequent manual measurement of battery short circuits.
