"Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0033] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides a testing device. The testing device includes a base plate 1 and several clamps 2. Specifically, the base plate 1 is provided with several mounting slots 11, and the mounting slots 11 are correspondingly arranged with several clamps 2. The clamps 2 can be installed in the mounting slots 11. The clamps 2 include a fixing part 21, a moving part, an adjusting part 22, a temperature sensor 23, and a pressure sensor 24. One end of the adjusting part 22 passes through the fixing part 21 and is slidably connected to the moving part. The adjusting part 22 can adjust the distance between the fixing part 21 and the moving part for clamping the test copper wire. The temperature sensor 23 is disposed in the fixing part 21 and is used to detect the temperature of the test copper wire. The pressure sensor 24 is disposed in the fixing part 21 and is used to detect the pressure on the test copper wire. Compared to existing technologies, this device, by setting up several fixtures 2, can achieve simultaneous testing and verification of multiple sets of test samples, improving the versatility of the testing device. By integrating temperature sensors 23 and pressure sensors 24, the device can monitor the pressure and temperature during the welding process, reducing errors in process parameters, lowering the cost of process development components and manufacturing cycle, and meeting actual production needs. In this embodiment, the testing device is equipped with five fixtures 2. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of fixtures 2 is determined according to the actual situation, which will not be elaborated here.

[0035] Optionally, the test apparatus also includes several guiding mechanisms, which are arranged one-to-one with several clamps 2. One end of the guiding mechanism passes through the fixed part 21 and is slidably connected to the moving part, so that the moving part can move along the length direction of the guiding mechanism, preventing the moving part from deviating and ensuring accurate clamping of the test copper wire.

[0036] Optionally, the guiding mechanism includes a plurality of guiding components 3, which are spaced apart on the fixed part 21. Each guiding component 3 includes a guide rod 31, a limiting block 32, and an elastic member 33. One end of the guide rod 31 passes through the fixed part 21 and is slidably connected to the moving part. The limiting block 32 is fixed to the end of the guide rod 31. The moving part can abut against the limiting block 32. The elastic member 33 is disposed between the fixed part 21 and the moving part, and the elastic member 33 is configured to always have a tendency to drive the moving part to move away from the fixed part 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, the guiding mechanism includes two guiding components 3, which are spaced apart. This allows the fixed part 21 to move along the length of the guide rod 31, further preventing the moving part from shifting and ensuring precise clamping of the test copper wire. When the operator locks the adjusting member 22, the fixed part 21 and the moving part move closer together, thus clamping the test copper wire. When the operator releases the adjusting member 22, the fixed part 21 and the moving part move away from each other under the action of the elastic member 33, thereby releasing the test copper wire. This allows for rapid insertion, replacement, and removal of the test copper wire. The limiting block 32 prevents the moving part from separating from the guide rod 31. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of guiding components 3 is determined according to the actual situation, and will not be elaborated here.

[0037] Optionally, the guide assembly 3 further includes two fixing seats 34, one of which is disposed between the elastic member 33 and the fixing part 21, and the other fixing seat 34 is disposed between the elastic member 33 and the moving part. Specifically, the fixing seats 34 can increase the contact area between the two ends of the elastic member 33 and the fixing part 21 and the moving part, respectively, so that the fixing part 21 and the moving part have a larger force-bearing surface, and the force direction of the fixing part 21 and the moving part is always along the length direction of the guide rod 31.

[0038] Furthermore, the elastic element 33 is a compression spring, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide rod 31. The guide rod 31 passes through two fixed seats 34, and the two ends of the compression spring are respectively connected to the two fixed seats 34, which can improve the stability of the press fitting.

[0039] Optionally, the testing apparatus further includes several locking elements 4, each corresponding to a certain number of mounting slots 11. One end of each locking element 4 can pass through the wall of the mounting slot 11 and abut against the clamp 2. Specifically, the clamp 2 is assembled into the mounting slot 11 of the base plate 1, and the clamp 2 is fixed to the base plate 1 by rotating the locking element 4. Further, the locking element 4 is a bolt.

[0040] Optionally, the adjusting component 22 includes a screw 221 and a nut 222. One end of the screw 221 passes through the fixed part 21 and the moving part in sequence and is threadedly connected to the nut 222. The other end of the screw 221 abuts against the fixed part 21, and the moving part abuts against the nut 222. Specifically, by rotating the nut 222, the clamping force of the clamp 2 can be adjusted, and the pressure on the test copper wire can be precisely controlled by a digital torque wrench.

[0041] Optionally, the fixture 2 also includes a plurality of positioning elements, which are spaced apart on the moving part. The fixed part 21 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 211, which correspond one-to-one with the plurality of positioning elements. The positioning elements can be inserted into the positioning grooves 211 to prevent the moving part from shifting and to ensure accurate clamping of the test copper wire.

[0042] Optionally, the clamp 2 is triangular. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the fixing part 21 and the moving part are triangular, and the long sides of the fixing part 21 and the moving part are inserted into the mounting groove 11. The two short sides of the fixing part 21 and the moving part can clamp different types of test copper wires, which can improve the test efficiency.

[0043] The testing device provided by this utility model can quickly clamp the test copper wire, simultaneously verify multiple technical solutions, linearly adjust the clamping force, and collect temperature data. The specific implementation scheme and usage method are as follows:

[0044] S1. Place the first test copper wire 5 and the second test copper wire 6 on the two short sides of the clamp 2 respectively, and clamp the copper wires by rotating the nut 222.

[0045] S2. The clamp 2 is assembled into the mounting groove 11 of the base plate 1, and the clamp 2 is fixed to the base plate 1 by rotating the locking member 4.

[0046] S3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 of the method to complete the connection and fixation of the five clamps 2 to the base plate 1;

[0047] S4. Connect the test leads of temperature sensor 23 and pressure sensor 24 to the test equipment, and observe the test instrument to confirm that the sensor connection is normal and that it can work normally.

[0048] S5, rotate nut 222 to ensure that the clamping force is consistent with the test design scheme;

[0049] S6. Place the first test copper wire 5 and the second test copper wire 6 into the laser welding equipment for welding. After welding is completed, take them out and place them on the work platform.

[0050] S7. By rotating the nut 222, the moving part of the clamp 2 is separated from the fixed part 21 of the clamp 2 under the action of the elastic member 33, and the first test copper wire 5 and the second test copper wire 6 can be taken out.

[0051] S8, the seventh step of the reuse method, completes the removal of five sets of test samples.

[0052] Furthermore, the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention.
