Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery testing equipment, and in particular to a test fixture for soft-pack batteries. Background Technology
[0002] As the new energy industry increases its requirements for battery energy density, safety, and consistency, the traditional battery production process includes steps such as electrode die-cutting, electrode stacking, tab welding, plastic film forming, top and side sealing, electrolyte injection, and vacuum sealing. The equipment required includes battery packaging machines, electrode cutting machines, and ultrasonic tab welding machines. At the same time, the operating environment has high requirements. To ensure the true performance of the battery, the operation needs to be carried out in a dry room or the instruments need to be placed in a glove box. These complex preparation processes have, to some extent, hindered the development of new electrode materials and new electrolytes.
[0003] In addition, traditional test fixtures face severe challenges in multi-station parallel testing and adaptability to complex environments: existing single-station fixtures have a simple sealing structure, which makes it difficult to suppress the interference of humidity and dust on battery thermal runaway testing or electrochemical performance evaluation. Modular stacking solutions often suffer from problems such as interlayer leakage and poor circuit contact due to unstable connector locking or insufficient sealing ring compression. Furthermore, when adapting to batteries of different thicknesses, fixtures need to be changed frequently, which seriously restricts the testing efficiency and data reliability of the production line.
[0004] Against this backdrop, there is an urgent need to develop a battery manufacturing and testing device that can simplify the production process, while also possessing high sealing performance and modular stacking capabilities. This device would support simplified battery manufacturing processes, simultaneous testing of multiple batteries, and reduce the impact of environmental variables on test results, thereby promoting the intelligent upgrading of battery R&D and quality control systems.

The multi-functional testing holes 014 communicate with the testing chamber 003.
[0026] Preferably, the cavity clamping block 132 is provided with an internal and external cavity connecting guide 134 and a clamping screw 131. The clamping screw 131 passes through the cavity clamping block 132, the cavity clamping block 132 presses against the electrode tab, and the clamping screw 131 locks the electrode tab.
