Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery testing technology, specifically to an electronic cigarette battery testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes, are primarily used for smoking cessation and as a substitute for traditional cigarettes. They have the same appearance and flavor as cigarettes, and even offer a wider variety of flavors than regular cigarettes. Like cigarettes, they produce smoke, flavor, and sensations when inhaled. A key reason users use e-cigarettes to replace traditional cigarettes is to quit smoking. A crucial component of e-cigarettes is the battery. Electronic cigarettes require battery testing during manufacturing. A search revealed a Chinese patent (CN118707341B) disclosing a testing device for electronic cigarette batteries. Existing testing devices typically involve manually placing the battery into the device, which cannot guarantee the battery will be centered on the testing platform. Any deviation in placement affects the test results, leading to inaccurate data and reduced accuracy. The proposed device includes a base plate with a side-moving square plate fixedly mounted on it. A mounting plate is attached to the side-moving square plate, and the mounting plate and side-moving square plate are connected by bolts. A drive motor is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate and connected to a dual-control flexible assembly. Through a correction and reversal mechanism, the battery is ensured to be centered, guaranteeing consistent testing conditions and preventing inaccurate data, thus improving testing accuracy.

[0003] Currently, when testing e-cigarette batteries, manual handling is typically used to test them one by one while they are charged. This method not only poses a safety hazard of electric shock, but also has low work efficiency, making it unsuitable for testing large quantities of e-cigarette batteries. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems of unsafe use and low efficiency of existing testing devices, this invention provides an electronic cigarette battery testing device.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An electronic cigarette battery testing device includes a workbench with a groove on its top surface and a moving component inside the groove.

One end of each elastic contact plate extends into the interior of the frame body and is connected to a cable. A testing device body is mounted on the top surface of the testing frame, and one end of each cable is electrically connected to an input terminal of the testing device body.

[0007] Furthermore, the moving component includes a slider, which is slidably connected inside the groove, and a lead screw is threadedly connected to one side of the slider, with one end of the lead screw rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove.

[0008] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, through the threaded connection between the lead screw and the slider, rotating the lead screw can precisely control the movement position of the slider, thereby accurately adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism and ensuring that the battery can be accurately aligned with the elastic contact plate of the testing frame during testing.

[0009] Furthermore, a servo motor is installed on one side of the outer wall of the workbench, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to one end of the lead screw for transmission.

[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the servo motor drives the lead screw to rotate, realizing automated control of the moving components, accurately adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism, improving detection efficiency, and reducing manual labor intensity. Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a base plate and a top plate, with the base plate mounted on the top surface of the slider, and one side of the base plate hinged to one side of the top plate.

[0011] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the bottom plate and the top plate are connected by a hinge, which can be opened and closed, making it convenient to insert or remove the electronic cigarette battery.

[0012] Furthermore, a placement groove is provided on one side of the bottom plate and the top plate respectively, and a columnar cavity is formed between every two placement grooves. The inner wall of the columnar cavity is connected with an anti-slip sticker.

[0013] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that the cylindrical cavity is adapted to the shape of the electronic cigarette battery, allowing for stable placement of the battery. The anti-slip pads on the inner wall increase the friction between the battery and the clamping mechanism, preventing the battery from sliding or shaking during testing.

[0014] Furthermore, a latch is installed on one side of the bottom plate and the top plate respectively, and the two latches are engaged with each other.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that after the battery is placed into the cylindrical cavity, the bottom plate and the top plate can be firmly locked, further enhancing the clamping force on the battery, avoiding the impact on the test results due to the battery loosening during the test, and ensuring the smooth progress of the test work.

[0016] Furthermore, a collection frame is provided on one side of the workbench. The collection frame includes a frame body, and a bolt is inserted through one side of the frame body. The frame body is connected to one side of the workbench by the bolt.

[0017] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the frame is connected to the workbench by bolts, making installation and disassembly convenient, and the collection frame can be removed for cleaning or replacement as needed.

[0018] Furthermore, a support plate is hinged to the bottom surface of the frame, and a buckle is installed on the side of the support plate adjacent to the frame, with the two buckles engaging with each other.

[0019] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the tray can be opened when it is necessary to remove the batteries from the collection box, making it convenient to pour or retrieve the batteries. The latches between the tray and the frame can secure the tray under normal circumstances, preventing the batteries from accidentally falling out.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This electronic cigarette battery testing device, through the coordinated use of a slide, a moving component, a clamping mechanism, a testing frame, and the testing device body, effectively reduces manual hand contact, thereby improving testing safety. Its reciprocating operation significantly increases work efficiency. The slide on the top surface of the worktable, in conjunction with the moving component, allows for flexible adjustment of the clamping mechanism's position, facilitating accurate placement of the electronic cigarette battery under the testing frame for testing. The elastic contact plate of the testing frame contacts the battery electrodes, transmitting the battery's electrical signal to the testing device body via a cable to achieve battery testing.

The elastic contact plate 5002 of the detection frame 500 can contact the battery electrodes, transmitting the battery electrical signal to the detection device body 600 via the cable 5003, thus enabling battery testing.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] As one embodiment of this utility model, the moving component 300 further includes a slider 3001, which is slidably connected inside the slide groove 200. A lead screw 3002 is threadedly connected to one side of the slider 3001. One end of the lead screw 3002 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 200. Through the threaded connection between the lead screw 3002 and the slider 3001, rotating the lead screw 3002 can precisely control the movement position of the slider 3001, thereby precisely adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism 400. This ensures that the battery can be accurately aligned with the elastic contact plate 5002 of the testing frame 500 during testing. The worktable 10... A servo motor 700 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the slide block 3001. The output end of the servo motor 700 is connected to one end of the lead screw 3002. The servo motor 700 drives the lead screw 3002 to rotate, realizing the automated control of the moving component 300, accurately adjusting the position of the clamping mechanism 400, improving detection efficiency, and reducing manual labor intensity. The clamping mechanism 400 includes a base plate 4001 and a top plate 4002. The base plate 4001 is installed on the top surface of the slide block 3001. One side of the base plate 4001 is hinged to one side of the top plate 4002, which can be opened and closed to facilitate the insertion or removal of the electronic cigarette battery.

[0032] As one embodiment of this utility model, furthermore, a placement groove 4003 is provided on one side of the base plate 4001 and the top plate 4002, and a columnar cavity is formed between every two placement grooves 4003. The inner wall of the columnar cavity is connected with an anti-slip pad 4004. The columnar cavity is adapted to the shape of the electronic cigarette battery and can stably place the battery. The anti-slip pad 4004 on the inner wall increases the friction between the battery and the clamping mechanism, preventing the battery from sliding or shaking during the testing process. A latch 4005 is installed on one side of the base plate 4001 and the top plate 4002, and the two latches 4005 are interlocked. After the battery is placed into the columnar cavity, the base plate 4001 and the top plate 4002 can be firmly locked, further enhancing the clamping force on the battery and avoiding the impact on the test results due to the battery loosening during the testing process, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the testing work.

[0033] As one embodiment of this utility model, a collection frame 800 is further provided on one side of the workbench 100. The collection frame 800 includes a frame body 8001, with a bolt 8004 inserted through one side of the frame body 8001. The frame body 8001 is connected to one side of the workbench 100 by the bolt 8004. The frame body 8001 is conveniently installed and disassembled, and can be removed for cleaning or replacement as needed. A tray 8002 is hinged to the bottom surface of the frame body 8001. A buckle 8003 is installed on the side of the tray 8002 adjacent to the frame body 8001. The two buckles 8003 are interlocked. When it is necessary to remove the battery from the collection frame, the tray 8002 can be opened for easy tilting or removal of the battery. The buckle 8003 between the tray 8002 and the frame body 8001 can fix the tray 8002 in place under normal circumstances to prevent the battery from falling out accidentally.

[0034] Specifically, the working principle of this electronic cigarette battery testing device is as follows: In use, the electronic cigarette battery is first placed between the base plate 4001 and top plate 4002 of the clamping mechanism 400. The two plates open and close via a hinge for easy operation. The cylindrical cavity formed by the placement groove 4003 is adapted to the battery, and the anti-slip pads 4004 on the inner wall increase friction. Then, the latches 4005 engage to securely clamp the battery. The servo motor 700 on one side of the outer wall of the workbench 100 is activated, and its output drives the lead screw 3002 to rotate. The lead screw 3002 is threadedly connected to the slider 3001 in the moving component 300, causing the slider 3001 to slide within the groove 200, thereby moving the clamping mechanism 400 and precisely delivering the battery directly below the testing frame 500. The elastic contact plates 5002 on both sides of the frame 5001 of the testing rack 500 contact the battery electrodes. Due to their elastic design, they can adapt to different battery sizes, ensuring good electrical contact. The battery electrical signal is transmitted via cable 5003 to the testing device body 600 mounted on the top surface of the testing rack 500 for various parameter testing. After testing, the moving component 300 moves the clamping mechanism 400 to one side of the workbench 100, opens the tray 8002 of the collection frame 800, unlocks the tray with latch 8003, and places the tested battery into the frame 8001. The frame is connected to the workbench by bolts 8004 for easy installation, disassembly, and cleaning.
