Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shape inspection tools for conductive connectors, specifically a shape inspection tool for conductive connectors in battery packs. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of battery packs, the dimensional accuracy of conductive connectors is crucial to the performance and safety of the battery pack. Currently, there are several problems with the inspection of the shape of battery pack conductive connectors. Traditional inspection methods often rely on general-purpose measuring tools, such as calipers. This method is inefficient, requiring manual positioning and reading for each measurement, which is not only cumbersome but also prone to errors due to human factors. Since the shapes of battery pack conductive connectors can be complex, it is difficult to quickly and accurately determine whether their dimensions meet requirements using general-purpose tools. Furthermore, the consistency of inspection results is difficult to guarantee when different operators use general-purpose tools. This poses a significant challenge to the quality control of battery packs and may result in unqualified conductive connectors entering the production process, affecting the overall performance and safety of the battery pack.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0026] Example 1: As Figures 1-5 ,include
[0027] The top of the testing table 100 has a testing groove 110 whose shape matches the outline of the conductive connector 300.
[0028] The feeding assembly includes a first conveyor belt 200 for inspecting conductive connectors 300, a second conveyor belt 210 for conveying good conductive connectors 300, and a third conveyor belt 220 for conveying defective conductive connectors 300.
[0029] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: By setting a detection groove 110 that matches the shape of the conductive connector 300, the operator can quickly compare and read the detection results of conductive connectors 300 of the same specification by directly inserting the conductive connector 300 into the detection groove 110. This facilitates the repeated detection of the shape and size of conductive connectors 300 of the same model, greatly optimizing the detection process and improving work efficiency. By setting a feeding assembly, the working surface height of the first conveyor belt 200, the second conveyor belt 210, and the third conveyor belt 220 is set to be consistent with the height of the detection table 100, thereby improving the convenience for the operator to pick up and output the conductive connector 300, improving work efficiency, and facilitating the separate storage of good and defective products.
[0030] Example 2: Figures 1-3 The testing table 100 is a block structure with a flat upper surface. The upper surface of the testing table 100 is finely ground, and the surface roughness reaches Ra0.8μm. The depth of the testing groove 110 matches the thickness of the conductive connector 300, with the error controlled within ±0.05mm. The scale markings 130 are used to measure the length and width of the conductive connector 300. A material picking groove 120 is provided on the outer wall of the testing groove 110 near the operator, which communicates with the testing groove 110. A limiting post 121 is fixedly installed at the connection of the testing groove 110. Several limiting posts 121 are provided. The limiting posts 121 are used to limit the outer wall of the conductive connector 300. A suction cup groove 140 is opened on the top outer wall of the testing table 100. The top of the suction cup groove 140 is rotatably connected to a movable cover plate 141 through a hinge. A handle is fixedly installed on the top of the movable cover plate 141. A suction cup 150 is installed on the inner wall of the suction cup groove 140. The suction cup 150 is used to assist in removing the conductive connector 300 from the testing groove 110.
[0031] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: By setting the scale mark 130, it is convenient for operators to compare the four-dimensional dimensions of the conductive connector 300, thereby quickly determining whether the shape of the conductive connector 300 is qualified. It is also beneficial for operators to identify and record unqualified situations, which can improve the pass rate of subsequent production and facilitate targeted optimization of the production process. By setting the material picking groove 120, after the conductive connector 300 is inserted into the detection groove 110, one side of the outer wall is still partially exposed, which can help operators to take out the conductive connector 300 from the detection groove 110. By setting the limiting post 121, it is used to reduce the detection error at the material picking groove 120 and avoid the local error from going undetected. By setting the suction cup groove 140, it is used to store the suction cup 150. The suction cup 150 is used to assist in taking out the conductive connector 300 by negative pressure.
[0032] Example 3: As Figure 3 and Figure 5 The top of the testing platform 100 has a first conveyor belt groove 160, which is located at the input end of the testing groove 110. A first conveyor belt 200 is installed on the inner wall of the first conveyor belt groove 160. The top output end of the testing platform 100 has a second conveyor belt groove 170 and a third conveyor belt groove 180, which are vertically distributed. A second conveyor belt 210 is installed inside the second conveyor belt groove 170, and a third conveyor belt 220 is installed inside the third conveyor belt groove 180. The output ends of the second conveyor belt 210 and the third conveyor belt 220 are respectively provided with storage compartments 230. The bottom outer wall of the storage compartment 230 is rotatably connected to the four corners of the bottom of the storage compartment 230. The universal wheels 231 are provided with a locking structure to lock the position of the storage compartment 230.
[0033] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: By setting a first conveyor belt groove 160 for installing the first conveyor belt 200, a second conveyor belt groove 170 for installing the second conveyor belt 210, and a third conveyor belt groove 180 for installing the third conveyor belt 220, the working surfaces of the first conveyor belt 200, the second conveyor belt 210, and the third conveyor belt 220 are flush with the top of the testing table 100. This makes it easier for operators to pick up and put down the conductive connector 300 with less effort, avoids frequent up-and-down arm movements, reduces physical exertion, and at the same time, to a certain extent, prevents accidental hand impacts to the surfaces of the first conveyor belt 200, the second conveyor belt 210, and the third conveyor belt 220, thus improving the protection of operators.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When used by those skilled in the art, the conductive connector 300 to be tested is transported to the testing groove 110. The operator opens the movable cover 141 at the top of the suction cup groove 140, takes out the suction cup 150, and uses the suction cup 150 to assist in picking up the conductive connector 300, so that the conductive connector 300 can be inserted into the interior of the testing groove 110. By matching the outer wall dimensions of the testing groove 110 with those of the conductive connector 300, and by checking the fit between the conductive connector 300 and the testing groove 110, the test result can be quickly obtained. The conductive connector 300 is checked to see if its external dimensions meet the good product conditions. The good conductive connector 300 is placed on the top of the second conveyor belt 210 and transported to the storage bin 230 at the end of the second conveyor belt 210. The defective conductive connector 300 is placed on the top of the second conveyor belt 210 and transported to the storage bin 230 at the end of the third conveyor belt 220, thereby quickly screening out the conductive connector 300 with qualified external dimensions.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
