Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides an automatic testing device for assembled batteries, including: a machine base 10 and a feeding belt mechanism 20 disposed on one side of the machine base 10, and a station transverse movement mechanism 30 intersecting with the discharge end of the feeding belt mechanism 20. A contact resistance testing mechanism 40, a first magnet resistance testing mechanism 50, a second magnet resistance testing mechanism 60, an electrical testing mechanism 70, and a defect output mechanism 80 are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the station transverse movement mechanism 30. Multiple assembled batteries are placed on a fixture, and the feeding belt mechanism 20 conveys the batteries to the station transverse movement mechanism 30. The station transverse movement mechanism 30 then gradually conveys the batteries to be tested to the contact resistance testing mechanism 40, the first magnet resistance testing mechanism 50, and the second magnet resistance testing mechanism 60. The electrical testing mechanism 70, consisting of the contact resistance testing mechanism 40, the first magnet resistance testing mechanism 50, the second magnet resistance testing mechanism 60, and the electrical testing mechanism 70, performs tests on various positions of the battery and tests the battery voltage performance. It checks whether the battery is normal. Defective products are transferred out of the workstation by the defective output mechanism 80 and the workstation traversing mechanism 30. Good products are then transported to the next process by the workstation traversing mechanism 30. This utility model achieves a fully automated online testing and unloading operation mode through a series of functions including automatic feeding, automatic testing, automatic detection of battery qualification, and automatic transfer. This effectively improves production efficiency, enhances product quality, reduces labor intensity, improves the working environment, and reduces production costs.

[0023] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The station transverse movement mechanism 30 includes two spaced guide rails 31 and a lifting and dragging assembly 32 located between the two guide rails 31. The two guide rails 31 are at the same height as the feeding belt mechanism 20, so that the lifting and dragging assembly 32 can move the battery on the feeding belt mechanism 20 to the space between the two guide rails 31 and guide it through the two guide rails 31. The lifting and dragging assembly 32 includes two lifting sliding parts 320 on the same axis. The lifting ends of the two lifting sliding parts 320 are provided with transverse drag rods 321 with positioning slots arranged at equal intervals. One lifting sliding part 320 is provided with a slide rail fixed to the machine base 10 at its bottom, and the other lifting sliding part 320 is provided with a moving module 322 fixed to the machine base 10 at its bottom. A linkage plate 323 is connected between the two lifting sliding parts 320. The moving module 322 can drive the two lifting sliding parts 320 to drive the transverse drag rods 321 to feed materials, so as to realize automated feeding.

[0024] Furthermore, one end of the transverse drag bar 321 can be movably inserted into the feeding belt mechanism 20, and the feeding belt mechanism 20 located at one end of the transverse drag bar is provided with a material positioning blocking component 21. The moving module 322 drives the lifting sliding part 320 connected to it, thereby driving another lifting sliding part 320 to move along the slide rail, driving the transverse drag bar 321 to move towards the feeding belt mechanism 20, so that one end of the transverse drag bar 321 is inserted into the feeding belt mechanism 20. Then, the lifting sliding part 320 lifts the transverse drag bar 321, so that the battery on the feeding belt mechanism 20 is inserted into the positioning slot on the transverse drag bar 321. Then, the moving module 322 drives the transverse drag bar 321 to move the battery towards the contact resistance detection mechanism 40, and the contact resistance detection mechanism 40 detects the battery.

[0025] In this embodiment, the lifting sliding part 320 includes a fixed seat and a cylinder mounted on the fixed seat. The transverse drag rod 321 is located at the output end of the cylinder, and the linkage plate 323 is connected to the fixed seats on the two lifting sliding parts 320. In addition, two material positioning blocking components 21 are provided, which are equally spaced on the feeding belt mechanism 20. The distance between the two material positioning blocking components is equal to the width of the positioning slot. The material positioning blocking component is composed of a cylinder and a stop block. The stop block near the station transverse movement mechanism 30 has a U-shaped slot for the transverse drag rod 321 to pass through, so as to facilitate the movement of the transverse drag rod 321.

[0026] In this embodiment, the contact resistance detection mechanism 40, the first magnet resistance testing mechanism 50, and the second magnet resistance testing mechanism 60 have the same structure. They are all equipped with a fixing component 41 for fixing the battery, a transverse moving module 424 on the upper side of the fixing component 41, and a lifting resistance detection component 42 on the transverse moving module 424 for detecting the battery resistance. The fixing component 41 fixes the tooling containing the battery in the corresponding position, so that the lifting resistance detection component 42 can accurately detect the battery after it moves down. Furthermore, by setting the contact resistance detection mechanism 40, the first magnet resistance testing mechanism 50, and the second magnet resistance testing mechanism 60 with the same structure, different positions of the assembled battery can be detected to ensure the yield rate of battery assembly.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 5 The fixing assembly 41 includes a first lifting cylinder 410, the output end of which has a mounting plate 411 for a probe 412. The fixing assembly 41 also includes a forward pushing cylinder 413, the output end of which is provided with a retaining plate 414 with a slot and a ejector pin 415 located below the retaining plate 414. A through hole for the ejector pin 415 to pass through is provided on the guide rail 31, and a slot matching the ejector pin 415 is opened at a corresponding position of the tooling. The forward pushing cylinder 413 drives... The moving pin 415 passes through the through hole and is inserted into the slot of the tooling to prevent the tooling from moving. Then, the first lifting cylinder 410 drives the clamping plate 414 to move down, so that the clamping slots clamp the battery on the tooling, and the probe 412 presses the battery to prevent the battery from moving when the lifting resistance detection component 42 detects it. It should be noted that the number of clamping slots on the clamping plate 414 is set according to how many batteries are detected at one time. The number of clamping slots can be 3, 4, 5 or 6, depending on different requirements.

[0028] Furthermore, the lifting resistance detection component 42 includes a second lifting cylinder 420 fixed to the transverse movement module 424. The output end of the second lifting cylinder 420 is equipped with several lever cylinders 421. The output end of each lever cylinder 421 is equipped with a pressure sensor 422 and a lever 423 connected to the pressure sensor 422. The transverse movement module 424 adjusts the position of the lever 423, and the second lifting cylinder 420 drives the lever 423 downwards to detect the battery. The lever cylinders 421 adjust the lever 423 back and forth, and the pressure sensor 422 provides feedback on the pressure detected by the lever 423 to determine if the battery can reach the set pressure value. It should be noted that the lever 423 passes through the mounting plate 411, and the mounting plate 411 has an opening for the lever 423 to move.

[0029] After the battery pressure test is completed, the station traverse mechanism 30 transfers the battery to the electrical testing mechanism 70, where the electrical testing mechanism 70 tests the battery's voltage performance. In this embodiment, please refer to... Figure 6 The electrical testing mechanism 70 includes a battery positioning component 71 and a lifting detection component 72 disposed on the upper side of the battery positioning component 71. The lifting detection component 72 has a detection clip 73 for detecting the end points of the battery. The detection clip 73 corresponds one-to-one with the end point position of the battery. The battery positioning component 71 positions the battery. After the positioning is completed, the lifting detection component 72 drives the detection clip 73 to move down, so that the detection clip 73 detects the voltage performance of the battery.

[0030] In this embodiment, the battery positioning component 71 is made of a front-end cylinder and a clamping plate 414, and the clamping plate 414 also has a corresponding slot for the battery; the lifting detection component 72 is composed of a vertical cylinder, a voltage detector, and a bracket. The voltage detector is electrically connected to the detection clamp 73, and the voltage detector and the detection clamp 73 are mounted on the bracket. The vertical cylinder drives the bracket to move.

[0031] After the inspection is completed, the defective products are transported by the station traverse mechanism 30. If a defective product is found, the station traverse mechanism 30 will transfer the defective product to the defective output mechanism 80, which will then send the defective product out of the station traverse mechanism 30. Good products will continue to be transferred to a station by the station traverse mechanism 30. In this embodiment, the defective output mechanism 80 includes a robot arm 81 and a defective output belt assembly 82 located on the side of the station traverse mechanism 30. The robot arm 81 will transport the defective product to the defective output belt assembly 82, which will then transport the defective product to the defective product recycling area for recycling.

[0032] In summary, this utility model, due to its simple structure, few components, and convenient operation, can be installed at the end of the battery production process to form an integrated production and testing line with a high degree of automation. Furthermore, this utility model employs a contact resistance detection mechanism 40, a first magnet resistance testing mechanism 50, a second magnet resistance testing mechanism 60, and an electrical testing mechanism 70, enabling detection at multiple locations on the battery and testing of the battery's electrical performance, greatly ensuring testing efficiency and avoiding missed detections.

[0033] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
