When dealing with cells of different tab sizes (length, width, spacing), frequent fixture changes are necessary, increasing equipment costs and reducing testing efficiency. Furthermore, some fixtures have poorly designed conductive contact structures, resulting in high contact resistance and unstable signal transmission, affecting test accuracy. The clamping mechanisms are often rigidly fixed, easily causing crush damage to the cell tabs, and are cumbersome to operate, hindering rapid cell removal and removal. Utility Model Content

[0014] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a battery cell testing fixture, comprising: The wooden insulating substrate 1 is used to support the battery cell under test. As an integral supporting structure, the wooden insulating substrate 1 provides a platform for placing the battery cell under test. At the same time, it utilizes the insulating properties of wood to avoid risks such as leakage and short circuit during the test, thus ensuring the safety of the test.

[0016] At least one pair of conductive strips 2 are disposed on the insulating substrate 1. The conductive strips 2 are used to make one-to-one contact with the positive and negative tabs of the battery cell under test. The at least one pair of conductive strips 2 (made of 304 stainless steel) serve as conductive mediums. One end of each strip is in contact with the positive and negative tabs of the battery cell, and the other end is connected to the test channel line through the conductive interface 9 (such as the screw hole 11) of the extension part 6, forming a conductive path of "battery cell tabs → conductive strips 2 → test channel line" to achieve stable transmission of test signals.

[0017] Insulating pads 10 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the conductive strips 2.

[0018] An adjustment structure 4 is disposed on the insulating substrate 1, and the voltage conductive strip 2 is slidably connected to the adjustment structure 4 so that the voltage conductive strip 2 can move along the length or width direction of the corresponding tab.

[0019] The adjustment structure 4 (slide groove structure) provides bidirectional adjustment capability for the voltage conductive strip 2: the first adjustment groove 7, extending along the length of the tab, allows the voltage conductive strip 2 to move along the length of the tab to accommodate cells with different tab lengths; the second adjustment groove 8, extending along the width of the tab, allows the voltage conductive strip 2 to move along the width of the tab to accommodate cells with different tab spacing or widths. The voltage conductive strip 2 slides and is fixed within the slide groove via the slider 3, achieving compatibility with cells of different specifications.

[0020] A detachable connection structure 5 passes through the conductive strip 2 and the corresponding insulating pad 10, and is used to detachably fix the conductive strip 2 and the insulating pad 10.

[0021] The conductive strip 2 cooperates with the corresponding insulating pad 10 to clamp the tabs of the battery cell to be tested.

[0022] The conductive strip 2 and the corresponding insulating pad 10 are connected by a detachable connection structure 5 (such as screw 11 and screw hole 12): when screw 11 is tightened, the conductive strip 2 and the insulating pad 10 move closer to each other and clamp the battery cell tabs together to ensure tight contact; when screw 11 is loosened, the tabs can be released, making it easier to put in and take out the battery cell. The insulating pad 10 not only prevents the conductive strip 2 from directly conducting electricity with the substrate, but also buffers the clamping force through flexible contact to prevent the tabs from being damaged.

[0023] Furthermore, the conductive strip 2 is made of 304 stainless steel, and its thickness is 1-3mm. The use of 304 stainless steel for the conductive strip 2 provides both good conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring stable test signal transmission. The 1-3mm thickness design ensures structural strength while reducing contact resistance, lowering signal loss, and improving test accuracy. Furthermore, the conductive strip 2 has an extension 6 on the side away from its tab contact end, and the extension 6 has a conductive interface 9 for connecting the test channel line.

[0024] Furthermore, the adjustment structure 4 includes a groove structure disposed on the insulating substrate 1. The groove structure includes at least one first adjustment groove 7 extending along the length direction of the tab and at least one second adjustment groove 8 extending along the width direction of the tab. The conductive strip 2 is slidably disposed in the first adjustment groove 7 or the second adjustment groove 8 via a sliding member 3. The adjustment structure 4 (first and second adjustment grooves 8) enables bidirectional adjustment of the conductive strip 2 in both length and width directions, which can adapt to cell testing with different tab sizes (length, width, and spacing). This eliminates the need to design separate fixtures for each specification of cell, reducing equipment costs and improving testing efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, the conductive interface 9 is a screw hole with 11 holes. The extension portion 6 extends 30-70mm along the length of the tab. The conductive interface 9 is located on the extension portion 6 at a position 5-15mm away from the main body of the conductive strip 2. The extension portion 6 extends 30-70mm on each side along the width of the tab. The design of the extension portion 6 (30-70mm length) and the conductive interface 9 (screw hole with 11 holes) at a specific position (5-15mm away from the main body) facilitates the connection and fixation of the test channel line and reduces interference to the battery cell during wiring.

[0026] Furthermore, the detachable connection structure 5 includes a screw 11 and a screw hole 12 adapted to the screw 11. The screw hole 12 passes through the conductive strip 2 and the corresponding insulating pad 10. The screw 11 is screwed into the screw hole 12 to clamp and fix the conductive strip 2 and the insulating pad 10. The clamping design of the conductive strip 2 and the insulating pad 10, through the detachable connection structure 5 (screw 11), allows for adjustable clamping force. This ensures close contact between the tab and the conductive strip 2, while the insulating pad 10 provides cushioning to prevent the tab from being damaged by hard compression, thus protecting the integrity of the battery cell.

[0027] Furthermore, the size of the insulating pad 10 is adapted to the size of the corresponding conductive strip 2, and the thickness of the insulating pad 10 is 1-3mm. The detachable connection structure 5 (screw 11) simplifies the handling of the battery cell and the adjustment of the position of the conductive strip 2, reducing the difficulty of manual operation.

[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
