Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery performance testing technology, and in particular to a square lithium battery charge and discharge test cabinet device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development and innovation of the new energy industry, lithium batteries are widely used in electronic devices, electric vehicles, energy storage grids, and other fields due to their advantages such as long cycle life, high energy density, safety, and environmental friendliness. In the energy storage field, prismatic lithium batteries account for the vast majority of usage, making electrical performance testing of different types and sizes of batteries particularly important. However, due to the differences in battery types and sizes, electrical performance testing often requires preparing different test leads for repeated switching, and sometimes even external welding of flexible plates, consuming a significant amount of time and labor.

[0003] Testing square lithium batteries requires adaptability to different sizes and electrode center-to-center distances. Existing test cabinet solutions have the following drawbacks: (1) Poor contact stability: In traditional vertical fixtures, the probe moves with the quick clamp. Due to the thick and stiff current line, it is difficult to fix and the quick clamp needs to move up and down, resulting in poor contact between the probe and the positive and negative terminals of the square battery. The contact resistance is high, which leads to the battery temperature being too high during testing. (2) Insufficient compatibility: A single clamp can only be used for 1-2 battery sizes and is not suitable for various specifications of directional lithium batteries; (3) Inefficient operation: The replacement time of a single fixture is also long, resulting in low testing efficiency.

[0004] The aforementioned problems result in poor test performance, high test error rate, and increased labor costs. Therefore, this utility model proposes a square lithium battery charge and discharge test cabinet device to solve the problems of poor stability, poor versatility, and inconvenience in using existing battery charge and discharge test devices.
