Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery technology, specifically to an insulation fixture for inter-cell strings in a lithium battery module. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used due to their advantages such as high operating voltage, long cycle life, high energy density, and no pollution. This has led to significant concerns about battery safety. During the assembly and production of lithium-ion battery modules, the blue film in the cell is at risk of damage that is difficult to detect, posing an insulation risk and thus affecting the battery's safety performance and lifespan.

[0003] Current production technology typically uses insulation meters and withstand voltage testers to individually test the insulation resistance and leakage current between each string of cells. This requires manual observation and alignment, which is time-consuming when there are many cell strings. Furthermore, operator fatigue or lack of concentration can lead to inaccurate alignment of the test points, potentially causing cell damage or electric shock, posing safety hazards. Therefore, an insulating fixture is needed. Summary of the Invention

To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an insulation fixture for inter-cell strings of lithium battery modules, including a test fixture plate and a base plate. The test fixture plate is provided with a handle for lifting and pressing the test fixture plate. The test fixture plate has two rows of evenly distributed waist holes, and probes are provided in the waist holes. The probes are arranged in pairs and spaced apart. The probe positions correspond to the exposed aluminum parts of the lithium battery module, forming two upper and lower probe groups. By manually pressing down the handle, the probes can be made to fully contact each exposed aluminum part. The side of the test fixture plate is provided with multiple limiting blocks.

[0005] Preferably, the base plate is provided with a terminal block, which has a positive terminal and a negative terminal, and the positive terminal and the negative terminal are used for connecting the insulation testing instrument.

[0006] Preferably, the top of each probe is connected in series with a positive wire and a negative wire, with the end of the positive wire connected to the positive terminal and the end of the negative wire connected to the negative terminal.

[0007] Preferably, the test fixture is made of nylon.

[0008] Preferably, the insulation testing instrument is an insulation meter or a withstand voltage tester.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this utility model can test the insulation resistance and leakage current between each string of cells in the entire module at one time, and achieves stability and safety in the insulation test between the strings of cells in the module, which is better than the effect of manual individual testing. It is convenient and quick to operate, and greatly improves the testing efficiency.

[0010] When adapting to modules of different products, simply adjust the probe position; this is both cost-effective and flexible.

[0011] The separately led-out terminals can be connected to a multimeter or withstand voltage tester using alligator clips, avoiding improper operation and mitigating the risk of damaging the battery cells and endangering personal safety. Attached Figure Description
