Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery testing equipment technology, specifically a beaker placement tray for batch testing of nickel-metal hydride batteries, which is particularly suitable for electrolyte systems that require parallel testing of multiple beakers. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, batch testing of nickel-metal hydride batteries generally adopts an open beaker electrolysis system. The standard operating procedure is as follows: potassium hydroxide electrolyte is injected into the beaker, the battery to be tested is placed inside, and test tabs are led out through the double-sided electrode plates and connected to external test clips. However, this traditional method has the following technical bottlenecks:

[0003] 1. Space management defects: When multiple beakers are tested in parallel, the cables are tangled and intertwined, which leads to a chaotic equipment layout. There is a risk that the cables will be pulled and cause the beakers to tip over, resulting in electrolyte leakage and test interruption.

[0004] 2. Insufficient sealing protection: It is necessary to use rubber bands to fix the plastic wrap for temporary sealing, which cannot effectively block environmental pollutants and is also difficult to avoid the increase in contact resistance caused by alkaline crystallization at the electrode connection.

[0005] 3. Poor connection reliability: Due to the influence of beaker height and gravity, the test clamp and electrode are prone to displacement and detachment, affecting the continuity of test data.

[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this solution proposes a beaker placement tray for a battery tester. Utility Model Content

[0007] 1. Technical problem to be solved:

[0008] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a beaker placement tray for a battery tester, which achieves stable beaker positioning, multi-level sealing protection, and orderly cable management through structural optimization.

[0009] 2. Technical Solution:

[0010] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0011] A beaker placement tray for a battery tester includes a base. The top of the base has several storage slots evenly distributed circumferentially. Each of the four inner walls of the storage slots is provided with an elastic clamping mechanism for positioning the beakers through four-way synchronous clamping. One side of the base is rotatably connected to an openable and closable cover plate via a hinge. Several sealing components are installed on the bearing surface of the cover plate. The sealing components are axially aligned with the corresponding storage slots, forming a multi-level sealing protection when the device is closed.

[0012] A further improvement is that the elastic clamping mechanism includes telescopic rods fixedly connected to the inner walls of the four sides of the storage groove, a limit plate fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod, and a spring sleeved on the outer end of the telescopic rod.

[0013] A further improvement is that a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the outer end of the limiting plate.

[0014] A further improvement is that the sealing assembly includes a rotating, openable, transparent observation window hinged to the bearing surface of the cover plate. The observation window is made of tempered glass and has an integrated annular sealing ring at the bottom to form a double sealing interface. Cable management channels are symmetrically arranged at the mating edge of the observation window and the sealing ring. Several through holes are opened on the surface of the cover plate, and the inner diameter of the through holes forms an interference fit with the outer diameter of the sealing ring.

[0015] A further improvement is that the two cable management channels are seamlessly connected by a transition surface, forming a continuous cabling space.

[0016] A further improvement is that a finger-grip groove is provided on the side of the observation window.

[0017] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0019] (1) By using four-way elastic clamping and cable channel design, the problem of spatial chaos during multi-beaker testing is solved, and the risk of tipping over is reduced.

[0020] (2) The multi-stage sealing structure (annular sealing ring + interference fit through hole) effectively isolates environmental pollutants and inhibits alkaline crystallization.

[0021] (3) The cable management channel and the elastic clamp work together to improve the stability of the electrode connection and ensure the continuity of test data.

[0022] It should be noted that the structures not described in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology, and will not be elaborated here, as they do not involve the design points and improvement directions of this utility model. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0035] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "linked," "fixed," "provided with," and "located in" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a beaker placement tray for a battery tester, which achieves stable beaker positioning, multi-level sealing protection, and orderly cable management through structural optimization. The specific solution is as follows:

[0037] 1. Base and storage slot design

[0038] The base 1 has several storage slots 2 evenly distributed around its top. Each storage slot has an elastic clamping mechanism 3 on its four inner walls. The beaker is precisely centered and fixed by the four-way synchronous clamping to prevent it from tipping over.

[0039] The elastic clamping mechanism 3 includes a telescopic rod 31, a limiting plate 32, and a spring 33. The telescopic rod is fixed to the inner wall of the storage groove, and its telescopic end is connected to the limiting plate 32. The spring 33 is sleeved on the outer end of the telescopic rod 31 and adapts to beakers of different sizes through elastic pressure. A rubber pad 34 is added to the outer end of the limiting plate 32 to enhance friction and prevent scratching the surface of the beaker.

[0040] 2. Openable cover and sealing assembly

[0041] One side of the base 1 is rotatably connected to an openable cover 4 via a hinge. Several sealing components 5 are installed on the bearing surface of the cover 4 and are axially aligned with the storage groove 2; when closed, they form a multi-level sealing protection.

[0042] The sealing assembly 5 includes a rotating openable transparent observation window 51 and an annular sealing ring 52 integrated at its bottom; the observation window is made of tempered glass, which combines sealing and visibility; the sealing ring 52 is press-fitted with the through hole 41 of the cover plate to form a double sealing interface; the observation window 51 is provided with a finger groove 54 on the side for easy one-handed opening and closing operation.

[0043] 3. Cable management optimization

[0044] The sealing component 5 has symmetrically arranged cable management channels 53 on its edge. The channels are seamlessly connected by a transition surface to form a through-type wiring space. Test cables can be oriented along the channels to avoid crossing and tangling. At the same time, the cables are fixed by the compression of the sealing ring 52 and the observation window 51 to prevent displacement and falling off.

[0045] The specific implementation steps of this plan are as follows:

[0046] 1. Beaker fixing: After the beaker is placed in the storage slot 2, the limiting plates 32 of the four elastic clamping mechanisms 3 are pressed inward synchronously under the action of the spring 33, and the outer wall of the beaker is clamped by the rubber pad 34 to achieve self-adaptive positioning.

[0047] 2. Sealing operation: When the cover plate 4 is closed, the annular sealing ring 52 of the sealing component 5 is pressed against the receiving groove to form an axial seal; at the same time, the observation window 51 can be rotated open to facilitate the lead-out of the electrode tabs. After closing, the cable position is fixed through the cable management channel 53.

[0048] 3. Testing and monitoring: The transparent observation window 51 allows for real-time observation of the electrolyte state and electrode contact in the beaker, eliminating the need for frequent opening of the lid and reducing the risk of contamination.

[0049] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
