Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sodium-ion battery testing technology, specifically a testing station for sodium-ion battery production. Background Technology
[0002] Sodium-ion batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that uses sodium ions (Na+) as the charge carrier. Their working principle is similar to that of lithium-ion batteries, but they use sodium resources instead of lithium. They have advantages such as low cost, abundant resources, and high safety, and are considered one of the important candidates for the next generation of energy storage technology. Sodium-ion batteries need to be tested after production, including visual inspection.
[0003] The "Testing Stand for Sodium-ion Battery Production and Processing" disclosed in publication number "CN220357217U" includes a testing workbench. The testing workbench has a working groove inside, and a placement block is provided inside the working groove. The placement block has a placement groove inside, and irregular fixing blocks are provided on both sides inside the placement groove. Movable clamping plates are provided at both ends of the front face of the irregular fixing blocks. A movable shaft is connected between the two movable clamping plates and the irregular fixing blocks. A spring A is connected between the two movable clamping plates. A guide rod B is provided inside each of the two movable clamping plates. A guide block B is sleeved on the outside of each of the two guide rods B. A movable pressure plate is fixed on one side of each of the two guide blocks B. A telescopic sleeve is provided between the movable pressure plate and the movable clamping plate. A spring B is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic sleeve.
[0004] Traditional testing stations have a fixed clamping area when inspecting the appearance of sodium-ion batteries. This means that workers cannot view the clamped areas during the inspection, creating blind spots and affecting the overall quality of the inspection. Another method involves placing the battery on a rotating platform, requiring workers to lift the battery later to observe its bottom. Manually lifting the battery increases the workload on workers, causing arm pain over time. Arm pain reduces work efficiency and poses a risk of the battery falling. Therefore, we have designed a testing station for sodium-ion battery production to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a testing station for sodium-ion battery production, which solves the problems of blind spots during battery appearance inspection due to the lack of a battery clamping area replacement feature, and the increased workload caused by the need for manual lifting when the batteries are placed on a rotating platform.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a testing platform for sodium-ion battery production, comprising a testing platform plate, wherein a lifting cylinder is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the testing platform plate, and the output end of the lifting cylinder passes through the testing platform plate and is rotatably mounted on a rotating disk;
[0007] A back plate is fixedly installed on the back of the testing platform, and a fixing seat is fixedly installed on the back of the back plate. A rotating shaft extending to the front of the fixing seat is fixedly installed on the front of the fixing seat. A mounting base is rotatably installed on the front of the rotating shaft. A mounting plate is movably installed on the rear side inside the mounting base. A double-headed cylinder is fixedly installed on the front of the mounting plate. Clamping plates are fixedly installed on both output ends of the double-headed cylinder. A fixing plate is assembled on the front of the clamping plate. Clamping rubber plates are fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing plate.
[0008] Vacuum suction cups are fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixing plate, and vacuum tubes are fixedly installed on the outer side of the clamping plate. One end of the vacuum tube is fixedly connected to the clamping rubber plate. The outer wall of the clamping rubber plate is provided with air extraction holes at equal intervals to cooperate with the vacuum tube. The outer wall of the rotating shaft is fitted with a gas guide slip ring, and the other end of the vacuum tube is fixedly connected to the gas guide slip ring.
[0009] Preferably, an input belt is rotatably mounted on one side of the detection platform, an output belt is rotatably mounted on the other side of the detection platform, and a drive motor with its output end connected to the input belt and the output belt is fixedly mounted on both sides of the detection platform.

[0014] This invention provides a testing station for sodium-ion battery production. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0015] (1) The testing station for sodium-ion battery production can perform vertical rotation testing after the horizontal rotation testing of the battery is completed through the cooperation between the rotating disk, clamping plate and rotating shaft. This makes it convenient for staff to observe and test the appearance of the battery from all aspects, increases the comprehensiveness of the battery appearance testing, avoids the situation where products with defects in battery appearance due to blind spots in the testing flow into the market, and also avoids the situation where staff manually lift the battery, which increases the workload. This improves the quality and efficiency of battery appearance testing.
[0016] (2) By using the vacuum suction cup and vacuum tube, vacuum adsorption can be used to fix the battery when clamping both sides, thus achieving secondary fixation when the battery is rotated vertically.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a testing station for sodium-ion battery production, including a testing platform 1. A lifting cylinder 3 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the testing platform 1. The output end of the lifting cylinder 3 passes through the testing platform 1 and is rotatably mounted with a rotating disk 301. A back plate 101 is fixedly installed on the back of the testing platform 1. A fixing seat 501 is fixedly installed on the back of the back plate 101. A rotating shaft 5 extending to the front of the fixing seat 501 is fixedly installed on the front of the fixing seat 501. A mounting seat 6 is rotatably installed on the front of the rotating shaft 5. A mounting plate 601 is movably installed on the rear side inside the mounting seat 6. A double-headed cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on the front of the mounting plate 601. Clamping plates 401 are fixedly installed on both output ends of the double-headed cylinder 4. A fixing plate 403 is assembled on the front of the clamping plate 401. Clamping rubber plates 7 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixing plate 403.
[0026] In use, the finished battery is placed on top of the rotating disk 301. The operator can manually rotate the disk 301 and the battery on top horizontally, facilitating inspection of the battery's four sides and top surface. After inspection, the operator manually rotates the clamping plate 401 180 degrees downwards for operation. The double-headed cylinder 4 is mounted on the front of the back plate 101 via the rotating shaft 5. The double-headed cylinder 4 retracts, causing the two clamping plates 401 and the fixing plate 403 mounted on their front sides to retract. When the fixing plate 403 retracts, the clamping rubber plate 7 installed inside it contacts the outer wall of the battery, thus allowing the double-headed cylinder to... The retraction of cylinder 4 causes the clamping plate 401, fixing plate 403, and clamping rubber plate 7 to retract inward, thus clamping and fixing the battery. The clamping rubber plate 7 provides flexible protection for the outer wall of the battery when clamping it, preventing scratches and wear on the outer wall. After the clamping rubber plate 7 has clamped and fixed the battery externally, the lifting cylinder 3 retracts and lowers the rotating disk 301. After the rotating disk 301 descends, the operator can manually rotate the battery vertically. This vertical rotation facilitates the operator's inspection of the bottom appearance, enabling a comprehensive external appearance inspection of the battery. This increases the functionality of the inspection station and improves the quality and efficiency of battery appearance inspection.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 5 As shown, vacuum suction cups 702 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixing plate 403, and vacuum tubes 503 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the clamping plate 401. One end of the vacuum tube 503 is fixedly connected to the clamping rubber plate 7. The outer wall of the clamping rubber plate 7 is provided with air extraction holes 701 at equal intervals to cooperate with the vacuum tubes 503. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 5 is fitted with a gas guide slip ring 502, and the other end of the vacuum tube 503 is fixedly connected to the gas guide slip ring 502.
[0029] In use, when the clamping plate 7 clamps the outer wall of the battery, the vacuum suction cup 702 also adheres to the outer wall of the battery. One end of the vacuum tube 503 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 7. The vacuum tube 503 can be connected to an external vacuum device. Furthermore, the vacuum suction cup 701 opened on the outer wall of the clamping plate 7 can perform vacuum treatment when the vacuum suction cup 702 contacts the outer wall of the battery. By performing vacuum treatment on the vacuum suction cup 702, the outer wall of the battery can be vacuum adsorbed and fixed, thereby increasing the ways to fix the battery externally, improving the stability of the battery during vertical rotation testing, avoiding the situation where the battery falls and is damaged during vertical rotation testing, and increasing the safety of comprehensive battery appearance testing.
[0030] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an input belt 2 is rotatably mounted on one side of the detection platform 1, and an output belt 201 is rotatably mounted on the other side of the detection platform 1. Both sides of the detection platform 1 are fixedly mounted with drive motors 202 whose output ends are connected to the input belt 2 and the output belt 201.
[0031] In use, the input belt 2 can move with the battery to be inspected when it rotates, making it convenient for staff to place the battery on the rotating disk 301 for inspection. The output belt 201 can transport and discharge the battery after it has been inspected by the staff, increasing the efficiency of the staff when inspecting the battery appearance through the inspection table. The drive motor 202 can provide power for the input belt 2 and the output belt 201 during operation.
[0032] like Figure 3-4 As shown, electric push rods 602 are fixedly installed on the upper front side of the mounting base 6, and locking rods 603 are fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rods 602.
[0033] When in use, when the mounting plate 601 is flipped to a horizontal position, the electric push rod 602 extends to insert the locking rod 603 above the mounting plate 601, thereby locking the mounting plate 601 in the horizontal position and ensuring the stability of the mounting plate 601 when rotating in the horizontal position.
[0034] like Figure 5As shown, the back of the fixing plate 403 is provided with an adjustment groove 404, and the front of the clamping plate 401 is fixedly installed with a connecting plate 402 that is inserted into the adjustment groove 404 and can move.
[0035] In use, the connecting plate 402 is inserted into the adjusting groove 404 and is connected by bolts. Thus, the fixing plate 403 and the battery fixed inside it can be rotated and adjusted at a small angle through the cooperation of the adjusting groove 404 and the connecting plate 402, which facilitates the staff to observe and understand the appearance of the battery during the inspection.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a flexible rubber pad 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating disk 301.
[0037] When in use, the flexible pad 302 increases the flexibility of the top of the rotating disk 301. The flexible pad 302 can provide flexible protection for the bottom of the rotating disk 301 when supporting the battery, avoiding wear and scratches on the bottom of the battery when it is placed on the rotating disk 301.
[0038] like Figure 1-2 As shown, leg supports 102 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the test platform 1, and foot plates 103 are fixedly installed on the bottom of each leg support 102.
[0039] In use, the leg support 102 can support the two sides of the bottom of the test platform 1, and the foot plate 103 increases the force-bearing area of the bottom of the leg support 102, thereby improving the stability of the leg support 102 when supporting the test platform 1.
[0040] Working principle: Input belt 2 moves the battery to be tested close to the rotating disk 301. An external robotic arm or manual operation allows the battery to be moved onto the rotating disk 301. The rotation of the rotating disk 301 facilitates visual inspection of the four outer walls and top surface of the battery. After inspection of the four outer walls and top surface, the operator manually pulls down and flips the clamping plate 401 to a horizontal position. The retraction of the double-headed cylinder 4 causes the clamping plate 401, the fixing plate 403, and the clamping rubber plate 7 to clamp and fix the battery on the rotating disk 301. After the clamping rubber plate 7 clamps and fixes the battery, the lifting cylinder 3 can rotate... The disk 301 descends, and the battery can be suspended under control by the clamping plate 7. The clamped battery can be rotated vertically by the cooperation of the fixing seat 501 and the rotating shaft 5. After the battery is flipped over, it is convenient for the staff to inspect the appearance of its bottom surface, thus realizing the function of comprehensive appearance inspection of the battery. This increases the comprehensiveness of the inspection table when inspecting the appearance of the battery and improves the inspection efficiency. The vacuum suction cup 702 and the vacuum tube 503 can perform vacuum adsorption and fixation when the clamping plate 7 clamps the outer wall of the battery, which increases the fixation method when the battery is rotated vertically and improves the stability of the battery during vertical rotation.
[0041] 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.
