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

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.

[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.

[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.
