The probes include auxiliary probes and additional probes. The auxiliary probes are configured to be in contact with the corresponding probe bases to form an auxiliary probe working circuit. The additional probes are configured to be in contact with the corresponding probe bases to form an additional probe working circuit.

[0002] This disclosure incorporates, in its entirety, Chinese Patent Application No. 2024105027555, filed on April 25, 2024, entitled “Battery Baking Equipment and Control Method Thereof”, which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of circuit technology, and in particular to a battery baking device and its control method. Background Technology

[0004] During the battery manufacturing process, the battery needs to be dried to remove moisture from it.

[0005] In related technologies, battery baking equipment is typically used to heat the battery to achieve a drying process. However, battery baking equipment in these technologies suffers from high failure rates and insufficient safety.

[0006] Summary of the Invention

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a battery baking device, a control method, apparatus, equipment, and storage medium for the battery baking device to address the above-mentioned technical problems, which can reduce the failure caused by poor contact between the probe and the base, reduce the equipment failure rate, and improve equipment safety.

[0008] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a battery baking device, including a controller, probes, and probe bases corresponding to the probes; the probes include auxiliary probes and other probes; the auxiliary probes are used to contact the probe bases to form an auxiliary probe working circuit; the other probes are used to contact the probe bases to form other probe working circuits; the controller is used to control the power supply to the auxiliary probes in the battery baking device based on a heating command, and to control the power supply to the other probes in the battery baking device when the auxiliary probes are powered on; the conductor length of the auxiliary probes contacting the probe bases is less than the conductor length of the other probes contacting the probe bases.

[0009] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the auxiliary probe is energized, it indicates that the auxiliary probe and the probe base are in effective contact. Since the conductor length of the auxiliary probe in contact with the probe base is less than the conductor length of the other probes in contact with the probe base, when the auxiliary probe and the probe base are in effective contact, all other probes and the probe base are also in effective contact under pressure. This reduces the failure caused by poor contact between the probe and the base, reduces the equipment failure rate, and simultaneously improves equipment safety.

[0010] In one embodiment, the battery baking apparatus further includes a probe plate and a base plate; auxiliary probes and other probes are disposed on the probe plate, and the probe base is disposed on the base plate.

[0011] In this embodiment, scattered probes are fixed together by a probe plate and scattered probe bases are fixed together by a base plate, thereby improving the stability of the position of the probes and probe bases, so as to control all probes or all probe bases to move as a whole at one time, thus improving the convenience and efficiency of movement control.

[0012] In one embodiment, the auxiliary probe is positioned at the edge of the probe plate; the other probes are positioned at the center of the probe plate.

[0013] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, by placing shorter auxiliary probes at the edge of the probe plate and longer other probes at the middle of the probe plate, the auxiliary probes at the edge can effectively contact the probe base, thereby prompting all other probes to effectively contact the probe base, thus improving the effectiveness of the contact between other probes and the probe base.

[0014] In one embodiment, auxiliary probes are arranged around other probes on a probe plate.

[0015] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the arrangement of the auxiliary probes around other probes allows the auxiliary probes to be distributed in a dispersed manner, avoiding error signals caused by uneven force in a single direction, thereby improving the reliability of the corresponding auxiliary signals.

[0016] In one embodiment, the probe base includes a conductive groove, and auxiliary probes and other probes contact the probe base by inserting into the corresponding conductive groove.

[0017] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive groove in the probe base enables electrical connection between the auxiliary probe and other probes. The conductive groove can accurately control the probe position, reduce the influence of external interference on the alignment offset, improve the accuracy of the alignment between the probe and the base, and at the same time improve the anti-interference capability of the device.

[0018] In one embodiment, the battery baking apparatus further includes a first power source for powering auxiliary probes and a second power source for powering other probes; the supply voltage of the first power source is lower than the supply voltage of the second power source.

[0019] In this embodiment, the first power supply uses a smaller supply voltage to power the auxiliary probe, while the second power supply uses a larger supply voltage to power the other probes. This satisfies the needs of different working circuits while reducing the heating of the auxiliary probe working circuit caused by the larger supply voltage, thereby reducing arcing between probes and between probes and the base, and improving equipment safety.

[0020] In one embodiment, at least two probe bases are connected by heating wires, and the at least two probe bases form a heating circuit after contacting other probes.

[0021] In this embodiment of the invention, a heating wire is added between the probe bases to form a heating circuit after the probes and bases are aligned and in contact, thereby achieving a baking effect. No other heating equipment is required, thus simplifying the overall structure of the device.

[0022] In one embodiment, the probe includes a floating structure and a conductor connected to the floating structure; the floating structure is used to cause the conductor to extend or retract under the action of an external force; the conductor is used to contact the probe base.

[0023] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the elasticity of the floating structure is used to achieve close contact between the probe and the base, which helps to achieve effective contact between the probe and the base, reduce failures caused by poor contact between the probe and the base, and reduce the equipment failure rate.

[0024] Secondly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a control method for a battery baking apparatus, comprising:

[0025] In response to the heating command from the battery baking device, control the supply of power to the auxiliary probes in the battery baking device;

[0026] When the auxiliary probe is powered on, the control provides power to the other probes in the battery baking device; the conductor length of the auxiliary probe in contact with the probe base is less than the conductor length of the other probes in contact with the probe base.

[0027] In this embodiment, the auxiliary probe is powered first, and then the other probes are powered while the auxiliary probe is powered. Since the conductor length of the auxiliary probe in contact with the probe base is less than the conductor length of the other probes in contact with the probe base, the shorter auxiliary probe is powered on, which means that the auxiliary probe and the probe base are in effective contact. The longer other probes are also in effective contact with the probe base under pressure, thereby reducing the failure caused by poor contact between the probe and the base, reducing the equipment failure rate, and simultaneously improving equipment safety.

[0028] In one embodiment, the supply voltage of the auxiliary probe is lower than that of the other probes.

[0029] In this embodiment, a smaller supply voltage is used to power the auxiliary probe, while a larger supply voltage is used to power other probes. This satisfies the needs of different working circuits while reducing arcing between probes and between probes and the base caused by the heat generated by the auxiliary probe's working circuit. This reduces the equipment failure rate and improves equipment safety.

[0030] In one embodiment, the method further includes, prior to controlling power supply to other probes in the battery baking apparatus:

[0031] Acquire the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit; the auxiliary probe working circuit represents the loop formed after the auxiliary probe contacts the probe base;

[0032] The energization state of the auxiliary probe is determined based on the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe's working circuit.

[0033] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit can be used to characterize the power-on state of the auxiliary probe. Obtaining the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit before controlling the power supply to other probes in the battery baking device to determine the power-on state of the auxiliary probe can greatly reduce the equipment failure rate caused by directly powering other probes. Furthermore, the electrical signal is easy to read, which can improve efficiency accordingly.

[0034] In one embodiment, determining the energization state of the auxiliary probe based on the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe operating circuit includes:

[0035] When the electrical signal is high, it is determined that the auxiliary probe is energized;

[0036] If the electrical signal is at a low level, it is determined that the auxiliary probe has not been successfully powered on.

[0037] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the high and low levels of the auxiliary probe working circuit can accurately reflect the power-on state of the auxiliary probe, and the signal acquisition process is simple and easy to implement, which improves the accuracy and efficiency of determining the power-on state of the auxiliary probe as a whole.

[0038] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0039] If the auxiliary probe fails to be powered on, the battery baking device will trigger an alarm.

[0040] In this embodiment, an alarm is triggered directly when the auxiliary probe fails to be powered on, which can promptly prompt the operator to troubleshoot the problem, thereby improving the orderliness and safety of equipment operation.

[0041] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0042] While controlling the power supply to other probes, obtain the power-on status of other probes;

[0043] If other probes fail to receive power, the battery baking device will trigger an alarm.

[0044] In this embodiment, continuous monitoring of the power-on status of other probes is achieved, and an alarm is directly triggered when other probes fail to power on, which can promptly prompt operators to troubleshoot the problem, thereby improving the orderliness and safety of equipment operation.

[0045] In one embodiment, obtaining the power-on status of other probes includes:

[0046] Acquire electrical signals from the working circuits of other probes; the working circuits of other probes refer to other probes and the loops formed after contact with the probe base;

[0047] The energization status of other probes is determined based on the electrical signals from the working circuits of other probes.

[0048] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the electrical signals of the working circuits of other probes can be used to characterize the power-on state of other probes. After controlling the power supply to other probes in the battery baking device, the electrical signals of the working circuits of other probes are obtained to determine the power-on state of other probes. This not only enables continuous monitoring of the battery baking device, but also makes it convenient to read the electrical signals, thereby improving efficiency.

[0049] In one embodiment, the method further includes, prior to controlling the power supply to the auxiliary probes in the battery baking apparatus:

[0050] First, control the other probes to contact the probe base corresponding to their positions, and then control the auxiliary probe to contact the probe base corresponding to its positions.

[0051] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the alignment of the probe and the base is controlled, reducing the alignment time and thus improving the control efficiency.

[0052] Thirdly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a control device for a battery baking apparatus, comprising:

[0053] The heating response module is used to control the power supply to the auxiliary probes in the battery baking equipment in response to the heating command of the battery baking equipment;

[0054] The power supply control module is used to control the power supply to other probes in the battery baking device when the auxiliary probe is powered on; the conductor length of the auxiliary probe in contact with the probe base is less than the conductor length of the other probes in contact with the probe base.

[0055] Fourthly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a computer device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps in the control method of the battery baking device provided in any of the embodiments of the first aspect above.

[0056] Fifthly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, wherein the computer program, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the control method for the battery baking apparatus provided in any of the embodiments of the first aspect described above.

[0057] In a sixth aspect, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a computer program product, including a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps in the control method of the battery baking apparatus provided in any of the embodiments of the first aspect described above.

[0058] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution disclosed herein.

[0088] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure.

[0089] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure; the term "comprising" and any variations thereof in the specification, claims and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0090] In this document, the reference to "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this disclosure. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0091] In the description of the embodiments of this disclosure, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the association relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. In the description of the embodiments of this disclosure, the term "multiple" refers to two or more (including two), unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0092] During the battery manufacturing process, the battery needs to be dried to remove moisture from it.

[0093] In actual production, battery baking equipment is typically used to heat the batteries to achieve a drying process. Related technologies include battery baking equipment comprising heating probes and probe bases. By aligning the heating probes with the probe base, a heating circuit is formed, and electric heating is achieved under the influence of a power source.

[0094] However, due to the influence of probe size errors or assembly errors, in related technologies, after the probe and the base are aligned, there is often a situation where some probes and the base have effective contact, while some probes and the base still have gaps, resulting in poor contact between the probe and the base.

[0095] In the above situation, if the heating probe is directly powered, the heating circuit will generate heat, which may cause arcing between the probe and the base with gaps, or between adjacent probes. In a pure oxygen environment, this may easily cause a fire due to vacuum discharge, damaging the battery baking equipment and the battery, and subsequently leading to a safety accident.

[0096] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a control method for a battery baking device. By utilizing the fact that the conductor length of the auxiliary probe in contact with the probe base is less than the conductor length of the other probes in contact with the probe base, power is supplied to the other probes only after the auxiliary probe is energized. This improves the effective contact between the other probes and the probe base, reduces the failure caused by poor contact between the probes and the base, and achieves the technical effect of reducing the equipment failure rate and simultaneously improving equipment safety.

[0097] The control method for the battery baking equipment provided in this disclosure can be applied to battery baking equipment. Therefore, before describing the process of the control method for the battery baking equipment in detail, the battery baking equipment provided in this disclosure will be described first.

[0098] As shown in Figure 1, in one embodiment, this disclosure provides a battery baking apparatus 100, comprising:

[0099] The controller 110, the probe 120, and the probe base 130 corresponding to the probe 120.

[0100] The probe 120 includes an auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122. The auxiliary probe 121 is used to contact the probe base 130 to form an auxiliary probe working circuit; the other probes 122 are used to contact the probe base 130 to form other probe working circuits. The controller 110 is used to control the power supply to the auxiliary probe 121 in the battery baking device 100 based on the heating command, and to control the power supply to the other probes 122 in the battery baking device 100 when the auxiliary probe 121 is powered on; the conductor length of the auxiliary probe 121 in contact with the probe base 130 is less than the conductor length of the other probes 122 in contact with the probe base 130.

[0101] The auxiliary probe 121, other probes 122, and probe base 130 are all conductive structures. The battery baking apparatus 100 includes at least two auxiliary probes 121 and at least two other probes 122, and correspondingly includes at least four probe bases 130, so that a circuit is formed after the auxiliary probes 121 and probe bases 130 come into contact. Specifically, the probe bases 130 that contact the auxiliary probes 121 are electrically connected to each other, forming an auxiliary probe working circuit after contacting at least two auxiliary probes 121; the probe bases 130 that contact other probes 122 are electrically connected to each other, forming other probe working circuits after contacting at least two other probes 122.

[0102] For example, as shown in FIG1, the controller 110 may be connected to the auxiliary probe 121, other probes 122, and probe base 130. The controller 110 may also be connected to the auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 without being connected to the probe base 130, or it may be connected to the probe base 130 without being connected to the auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122.

[0103] In the battery baking apparatus 100, probe 120 and probe base 130 are arranged opposite each other. Under the control of controller 110, auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 can be moved toward probe base 130, and / or probe base 130 can be moved toward auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122, so that auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 contact probe base 130 to form a circuit, thereby realizing the function of the corresponding circuit.

[0104] The auxiliary probe 121 forms a circuit, i.e., an auxiliary probe working circuit, which can be used to provide auxiliary signals characterizing the energized state of the auxiliary probe 121. Other probes 122 may include probes with various functions, including not only heating probes for implementing heating functions, but also probes for implementing other functions, such as communication probes for communicating with other devices. For example, probe bases 130 in contact with the heating probe are connected by heating wires to form a heating circuit when the heating probe is energized; probe bases 130 in contact with the communication probe are connected by a communication module to form a communication circuit when the communication probe is energized.

[0105] After the heating command is triggered, the controller 110 responds to the heating command by controlling the power supply to the auxiliary probe 121 in the battery baking device 100 and detecting the power-on status of the auxiliary probe 121 so as to control the power supply to the other probes 122 in the battery baking device 100 when the auxiliary probe 121 is powered on.

[0106] In some embodiments, the heating command can be triggered actively or passively. For example, an operator can actively trigger the heating command by starting the battery baking device 100 after aligning the probe and the base; alternatively, the controller 110 can passively trigger the heating command after detecting the alignment between the probe and the base. This disclosure does not specifically limit the triggering method of the heating command in these embodiments.

[0107] As shown in Figure 1, the auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 are matched to the probe base 130 to be aligned. The conductor length L1 of the auxiliary probe 121 in contact with the probe base 130 is less than the conductor length L2 of the other probes 122 in contact with the probe base 130. Therefore, when the auxiliary probe 121 is energized, it indicates effective contact between the auxiliary probe 121 and the probe base 130. Since L1 is less than L2, effective contact between the auxiliary probe 121 and the probe base 130 also indicates that all other probes 122 are also in effective contact with the probe base 130 under pressure. Therefore, when the auxiliary probe 121 is energized, the controller 110 controls the supply of power to the other probes 122 in the battery baking device 100.

[0108] In this embodiment, the provided battery baking device includes a controller, probes, and probe bases corresponding to the probes. The probes include auxiliary probes and other probes; the auxiliary probes are used to contact the probe bases to form auxiliary probe working circuits; the other probes are used to contact the probe bases to form other probe working circuits; the controller is used to control the power supply to the auxiliary probes in the battery baking device based on heating commands, and, when the auxiliary probes are energized, to control the power supply to the other probes in the battery baking device. The conductor length of the auxiliary probe contacting the probe base is less than the conductor length of the other probes contacting the probe base. In the above device, when the auxiliary probe is energized, it indicates effective contact between the auxiliary probe and the probe base. Since the conductor length of the auxiliary probe contacting the probe base is less than the conductor length of the other probes contacting the probe base, when the auxiliary probe and the probe base are in effective contact, all other probes also effectively contact the probe base under pressure, thereby reducing failures caused by poor probe-base contact, reducing the device failure rate, and simultaneously improving device safety.

[0109] To improve the stability of the positions of probe 120 and probe base 130, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG2, the battery baking device 100 further includes a probe plate 140 and a base plate 150. The auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 are disposed on the probe plate 140, and the probe base 130 is disposed on the base plate 150.

[0110] The probe plate 140 and the base plate 150 are insulating substrates. The probe plate 140 is used to support the probe 120, and the base plate 150 is used to support the probe base 130.

[0111] In some embodiments, auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 may be fixed to the surface of probe plate 140 or inserted inside probe plate 140, and electrically connected to controller 110 and other devices / modules via wiring on / inside probe plate 140. Probe base 130 may be disposed on the surface of base plate 150 or embedded in base plate 150 through one side, contacting auxiliary probe 121 or other probes 122 via a conductor portion exposed on the surface of base plate 150, and electrically connected to heating wire and other devices / modules via wiring on / inside base plate 150.

[0112] For example, as shown in FIG2, the auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 can penetrate the probe plate 140 and be fixed to the probe plate 140. The auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 penetrating the probe plate 140 can be divided into two parts by the probe plate 140: a conductor portion S1 that contacts the probe base 130, and a conductor portion S2 that does not contact the probe base 130. S2 can be used for electrical connection with the controller 110 and other devices / modules.

[0113] During the alignment of the probe and the base, the probe plate 140 and / or the base plate 150 can be moved to press the probe plate 140 and the base plate 150 together, so as to achieve the alignment contact between the probe 120 on the probe plate 140 and the probe base 130 on the base plate 150, thereby forming a circuit.

[0114] In this embodiment, the battery baking apparatus further includes a probe plate and a base plate. Auxiliary probes and other probes are disposed on the probe plate, and probe bases are disposed on the base plate. In this apparatus, the probe plate uniformly fixes the scattered probes, and the base plate uniformly fixes the scattered probe bases, thereby improving the stability of the probe and probe base positions. This allows for the control of moving all probes or all probe bases as a whole at once, improving the convenience and efficiency of movement control.

[0115] To improve the effectiveness of contact between other probes 122 and probe base 130, in one embodiment, auxiliary probe 121 is disposed at the edge of probe plate 140; other probes 122 are disposed at the middle of probe plate 140.

[0116] The edge position of the probe plate 140 is used to characterize the region near the edge of the probe plate 140. The middle position of the probe plate 140 is used to characterize the region near the center of the probe plate 140.

[0117] For example, the edge of the probe plate 140 can be a region less than a preset distance L1 from the edge of the probe plate 140. The center of the probe plate 140 can be a region less than a preset distance L2 from the center of the probe plate 140.

[0118] In some embodiments, the auxiliary probe 121 may be positioned at the edge of the probe plate 140 in any direction.

[0119] For example, as shown in FIG3, the auxiliary probe 121 is disposed at the edge position of one side edge of the probe plate 140, and multiple auxiliary probes 121 are arranged sequentially along the edge extension direction.

[0120] It should be noted that during the pressing process between the probe plate 140 and the base plate 150, uneven external force can easily lead to a situation where the middle of the plates are in contact, but the edges are not yet in contact, resulting in warping. By placing the auxiliary probe 121 at the edge of the probe plate 140 and the other probes 122 at the middle of the probe plate 140, when the auxiliary probe 121 is powered on, it is clear that the edge positions are in contact, and this ensures that the middle positions are also in contact, achieving effective contact.

[0121] In this embodiment, the auxiliary probe is positioned at the edge of the probe plate, while the other probes are positioned in the middle of the probe plate. In the aforementioned device, by placing the shorter auxiliary probe at the edge of the probe plate and the longer other probes in the middle, the effective contact between the auxiliary probe at the edge and the probe base facilitates effective contact between all other probes and the probe base, thereby improving the effectiveness of the contact between the other probes and the probe base.

[0122] In some embodiments, auxiliary probes 121 are arranged around other probes 122 on probe plate 140.

[0123] In some embodiments, the surrounding arrangement of the auxiliary probe 121 with other probes 122 may include two types of surrounding arrangements: semi-surround and full-surround.

[0124] For example, when the probe plate 140 is rectangular, the auxiliary probe 121 can be set at the edge positions on both sides or three sides of the probe plate 140 to partially surround the other probes 122, or the auxiliary probe 121 can be set at the edge positions on all four sides of the probe plate 140 to fully surround the other probes 122.

[0125] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, auxiliary probes are arranged around other probes on a probe plate. In the above-described device, the arrangement of auxiliary probes around other probes allows for a dispersed distribution of the auxiliary probes, avoiding error signals caused by uneven force in a single location, thereby improving the reliability of the resulting auxiliary signals.

[0126] To improve the accuracy of probe and base alignment, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG3, the probe base 130 includes a conductive groove 131, and the auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 are in contact with the probe base 130 by inserting into the corresponding conductive groove 131.

[0127] In some embodiments, the conductive groove 131 is a metal groove.

[0128] The specifications of the conductive groove 131 are matched with the specifications of the conductor portions on the auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 for contact with the probe base 130, so as to accommodate and contact the conductor portions.

[0129] For example, as shown in FIG3, auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 are all disposed on probe plate 140, and probe base 130 is disposed on base plate 150. During the alignment of probes and bases, the auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 can be inserted into the corresponding conductive grooves 131 and make contact with the conductive grooves 131 by moving probe plate 140 and / or base plate 150, thereby achieving alignment contact between the auxiliary probe 121 and other probes 122 on probe plate 140 and probe base 130 on base plate 150, forming a circuit.

[0130] In this embodiment of the battery baking apparatus, the probe base includes conductive grooves, and auxiliary probes and other probes contact the probe base by inserting into the corresponding conductive grooves. In this apparatus, the conductive grooves in the probe base enable electrical connection between the auxiliary probes and other probes. These conductive grooves accurately control the probe position, reducing the impact of external interference on alignment, improving the accuracy of probe and base alignment, and enhancing the apparatus's anti-interference capability.

[0131] To provide power to probe 120, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG4, the battery baking device 100 further includes a first power supply 160 for powering auxiliary probe 121 and a second power supply 170 for powering other probes 122.

[0132] The supply voltage of the first power supply 160 is lower than the supply voltage of the second power supply 170.

[0133] As shown in Figure 4, the first power supply 160 is connected to the auxiliary probe 121. After the auxiliary probe 121 is aligned and makes contact with the corresponding probe base 130, an auxiliary probe working circuit is formed. The first power supply 160 supplies power to the auxiliary probe 121 through the auxiliary probe working circuit. The second power supply 170 is connected to the other probes 122. After the other probes 122 are aligned and make contact with the corresponding probe base 130, other probe working circuits are formed. The second power supply 170 supplies power to the other probes 122 through the other probe working circuits.

[0134] The controller 110 can control whether to supply power to the auxiliary probe 121 by controlling the on / off state of the auxiliary probe working circuit; correspondingly, the controller 110 can control whether to supply power to the other probe 122 by controlling the on / off state of the other probe working circuits.

[0135] In practical applications, after receiving a heating command, the controller 110 first controls the auxiliary probe's working circuit to conduct, supplying power to the auxiliary probe 121 using a smaller supply voltage via the first power supply 160. Then, it reads the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe's working circuit to determine the energization status of the auxiliary probe 121. With the auxiliary probe 121 energized, it then controls the other probes' working circuits to conduct, supplying power to the other probes 122 using a larger supply voltage via the second power supply 170. Furthermore, it can read the electrical signals of the other probes' working circuits to monitor the energization status of the other probes 122, so as to promptly issue an abnormal alarm if the other probes 122 fail to energize.

[0136] The supply voltage of the first power supply 160 is lower than that of the second power supply 170 because the second power supply 170 needs to supply power to other probes 122 to achieve functions such as heating and communication, which requires more energy. The first power supply 160, on the other hand, supplies power to the auxiliary probe 121 and is only used to provide auxiliary signals, requiring less energy. This also reduces the heating of the auxiliary probe's operating circuit caused by the higher supply voltage, thereby reducing arcing between probes and between the probe and the base, and improving equipment safety.

[0137] In some embodiments, when the auxiliary probe 121 is powered on, the controller 110 may directly issue an abnormal alarm, or may prompt or control the probe plate 140 and / or the base plate 150 to move and align, and issue an abnormal alarm if the auxiliary probe 121 still fails to be powered on after multiple moves.

[0138] In some embodiments, when other probes 122 are powered on, the controller 110 may disconnect the auxiliary probe working circuit, or it may continue to keep the auxiliary probe working circuit on and continue to monitor the power-on status of other probes 122 until the heating task ends.

[0139] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the provided battery baking device further includes a first power supply for powering auxiliary probes and a second power supply for powering other probes; the supply voltage of the first power supply is lower than the supply voltage of the second power supply. In the above device, the first power supply uses a smaller supply voltage to power the auxiliary probes, and the second power supply uses a larger supply voltage to power the other probes. While meeting the needs of different working circuits, this reduces the heating of the auxiliary probe working circuits caused by the larger supply voltage, thereby reducing arcing between probes and between probes and the base, and improving device safety.

[0140] The heating circuit enables the baking function of the battery baking device 100. Therefore, in one embodiment, at least two probe bases 130 are connected by heating wires 180, and the two probe bases 130 form a heating circuit after contacting other probes 122.

[0141] Among them, the other probes 122 that form the heating circuit can be referred to as heating probes.

[0142] For example, the heating wire 180 may be a resistance wire.

[0143] After the probe and the base are aligned and in contact, the controller 110 can control the power supply to supply power to the other probes 122 (i.e. heating probes) that form the heating circuit. The heating wire in the heating circuit can convert electrical energy into heat energy, thereby releasing heat and realizing the heating and baking effect.

[0144] In this embodiment, at least two probe bases are connected by heating wires, and a heating circuit is formed when the at least two probe bases come into contact with other probes. In the above device, by adding heating wires between the probe bases to form a heating circuit after the probes and bases are aligned and in contact, a baking effect is achieved, eliminating the need for other heating equipment and thus simplifying the overall structure of the device.

[0145] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG5, the probe 120 includes a floating structure A and a conductor B connected to the floating structure A. The floating structure A is used to drive the conductor B to extend and retract under the action of an external force; the conductor B is used to contact the probe base 130.

[0146] The floating structure A can extend and retract, thereby causing the conductor B to extend and retract. The floating structure A can be further compressed by external force after the conductor B has already made contact with the probe base 130, so that the conductor B and the probe base 130 are in close contact.

[0147] For example, the floating structure A can be a spring.

[0148] In some embodiments, the auxiliary probe 121 may have the same or different structure from the other probes 122, but all include a floating structure A and a conductor B connected to the floating structure A.

[0149] After the longer probes 122 come into contact with the probe base 130, the floating structure A in the other probes 122 is compressed under the continuous external force, causing the conductor B in the other probes 122 to make close contact with the probe base 130. At the same time, it can drive the auxiliary probe 121 on the same probe plate 140 to move and make contact with the probe base 130. The floating structure A in the auxiliary probe 121 is compressed under the continuous external force, causing the conductor B in the auxiliary probe 121 to make close contact with the probe base 130, and simultaneously causing the conductor B in the other probes 122 to make closer contact with the probe base 130.

[0150] It should be noted that the probe 120 may also include other structures, such as an insulating sleeve that wraps around the floating structure A, fastening bolts for fixing the probe 120, etc.

[0151] In this embodiment, the probe includes a floating structure and a conductor connected to the floating structure. The floating structure is used to extend and retract the conductor under external force; the conductor is used to contact the probe base. In the above device, the extensibility of the floating structure is used to achieve a tight contact between the probe and the base, which helps to achieve effective contact between the probe and the base, reduces failures caused by poor contact between the probe and the base, and lowers the equipment failure rate.

[0152] Those skilled in the art will understand that the structures shown in Figures 1-5 are merely block diagrams of some structures related to the embodiments of this disclosure, and do not constitute a limitation on the insulation coating detection system applied thereto in the embodiments of this disclosure. A specific insulation coating detection system may include more or fewer components than those shown in the figures, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0153] The control method for the battery baking device provided in this disclosure will be described in detail below, taking the application of this method to the controller in Figure 1 as an example. In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the control method for the battery baking device includes the following steps:

[0154] S610, in response to a heating command from the battery baking device, controls the supply of power to the auxiliary probes in the battery baking device.

[0155] The heating command is used to instruct the battery baking device to perform the heating function.

[0156] As shown in Figure 1, the probes (auxiliary probes and other probes) in the battery baking equipment can move relative to the probe base. After the probes and probe bases are aligned and in contact, a circuit can be formed, and the corresponding circuit function can be realized accordingly.

[0157] In some embodiments, upon triggering a heating command, the controller responds by controlling the supply of power to the auxiliary probe in the battery baking device. Specifically, the controller may establish a link between the power source and the auxiliary probe to supply power to the auxiliary probe.

[0158] In some embodiments, the heating command can be triggered actively or passively. For example, an operator can actively trigger the heating command by starting the battery baking device after aligning the probe and the base; alternatively, the controller can passively trigger the heating command after detecting the alignment between the probe and the base. This disclosure does not specifically limit the triggering method of the heating command in these embodiments.

[0159] S620. When the auxiliary probe is energized, control the power supply to other probes in the battery baking device; the conductor length of the auxiliary probe in contact with the probe base is less than the conductor length of the other probes in contact with the probe base.

[0160] The energization status of the auxiliary probe is used to characterize whether there is effective contact between the auxiliary probe and the probe base. Energization of the auxiliary probe indicates effective contact with the probe base; conversely, failure to energize the auxiliary probe indicates ineffective contact with the probe base.

[0161] In some embodiments, the controller can acquire the energization status of the auxiliary probe to determine whether the auxiliary probe is energized, and take different subsequent control measures. Specifically, if the auxiliary probe is energized, the controller will control the supply of power to other probes in the battery baking device.

[0162] For example, if the auxiliary probe fails to be powered on, the controller may prompt or control the probe to move relative to the probe base until the auxiliary probe is powered on, or issue an abnormal alarm if the auxiliary probe still fails to be powered on after multiple movements.

[0163] It should be noted that when the auxiliary probe is energized, it indicates effective contact between the auxiliary probe and the probe base. Since the conductor length of the contact between the auxiliary probe and the probe base is shorter than the conductor length of the contact between other probes and the probe base, the shorter effective contact between the auxiliary probe and the probe base indicates that the longer contact between other probes and the probe base is also effective under pressure. Therefore, when the auxiliary probe is energized, the controller controls the power supply to the other probes in the battery baking device.

[0164] In this embodiment, in response to a heating command from the battery baking device, power is supplied to the auxiliary probe in the battery baking device, so that when the auxiliary probe is energized, power is supplied to the other probes in the battery baking device. The conductor length of the auxiliary probe in contact with the probe base is shorter than the conductor length of the other probes in contact with the probe base. In this method, power is supplied to the auxiliary probe first, and then power is supplied to the other probes while the auxiliary probe is energized. Because the conductor length of the auxiliary probe in contact with the probe base is shorter than the conductor length of the other probes in contact with the probe base, the shorter auxiliary probe ensures effective contact with the probe base when energized, and the longer other probes also make effective contact with the probe base under pressure. This reduces malfunctions caused by poor contact between the probe and the base, lowers the equipment failure rate, and simultaneously improves equipment safety.

[0165] In practical applications, the power supply voltage for the auxiliary probe is not the same as that for the other probes. In one embodiment, the power supply voltage for the auxiliary probe is lower than that for the other probes.

[0166] The power supply is connected to the auxiliary probe, and after the auxiliary probe is aligned and makes contact with its corresponding probe base, it forms the auxiliary probe's working circuit. The power supply is also connected to other probes, and after the other probes are aligned and make contact with their corresponding probe bases, they form the other probe's working circuit.

[0167] In some embodiments, the controller can power the auxiliary probe and other probes through the same power supply, by providing different power supply voltages through different power modules in the power supply, or it can directly power the auxiliary probe and other probes separately through different power supplies, so as to provide the auxiliary probe and other probes with their respective required power supply voltages.

[0168] The auxiliary probe's operating circuit can provide auxiliary signals characterizing its energized state. Other probes may include probes with various functions, not only heating probes for heating but also probes for other functions, such as communication probes for communicating with other devices. For example, probe bases in contact with the heating probe are connected by heating wires to form a heating circuit when the heating probe is energized; probe bases in contact with the communication probe are connected by a communication module to form a communication circuit when the communication probe is energized.

[0169] It should be noted that the auxiliary probe's supply voltage is lower than that of the other probes because the other probes' operating circuits are used to achieve functions such as heating and communication, requiring more energy. The auxiliary probe's operating circuits, on the other hand, are only used to provide auxiliary signals, requiring less energy. This also reduces the heat generated by the auxiliary probe's operating circuits due to the higher supply voltage.

[0170] In this embodiment, the power supply voltage of the auxiliary probe is lower than that of the other probes. In the above method, a smaller power supply voltage is used to power the auxiliary probe, while a larger power supply voltage is used to power the other probes. This satisfies the different operating circuit requirements while reducing arcing between probes and between the probe and the base caused by heat generation in the auxiliary probe's operating circuit, thus lowering the equipment failure rate and improving equipment safety.

[0171] The energizing state of the auxiliary probe can be determined based on the auxiliary probe's operating circuit. Therefore, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG7, before controlling the power supply to other probes in the battery baking device in S620 above, the method further includes:

[0172] S710: Obtain the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit; the auxiliary probe working circuit represents the loop formed after the auxiliary probe contacts the probe base.

[0173] The electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit can be used to characterize the working state of the auxiliary probe working circuit, and can correspondingly characterize the energization state of the auxiliary probe in the auxiliary probe working circuit.

[0174] In some embodiments, after receiving a heating command, the controller first controls the auxiliary probe working circuit to turn on in order to obtain the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit.

[0175] S720. Determine the energization state of the auxiliary probe based on the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit.

[0176] In some embodiments, after obtaining the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe's working circuit, the controller can determine the energizing state of the auxiliary probe based on the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe's working circuit. For example, a correspondence between electrical signals and energizing states can be preset. The controller can then determine the energizing state corresponding to the obtained electrical signal of the auxiliary probe's working circuit based on this correspondence, and use this as the energizing state of the auxiliary probe.

[0177] In this embodiment, the energizing state of the auxiliary probe is determined by acquiring the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit. The auxiliary probe working circuit refers to the circuit formed after the auxiliary probe contacts the probe base. In this method, the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit can be used to characterize the energizing state of the auxiliary probe. Acquiring the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit to determine the energizing state of the auxiliary probe before controlling power supply to other probes in the battery baking device can significantly reduce the equipment failure rate caused by directly supplying power to other probes. Furthermore, the electrical signal is easy to read, thus improving efficiency.

[0178] The electrical signal of the auxiliary probe operating circuit can be either high or low. Based on this, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG8, the above-mentioned S720, determining the energization state of the auxiliary probe based on the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe operating circuit, includes:

[0179] S810. When the electrical signal is at a high level, determine that the auxiliary probe is powered on.

[0180] The auxiliary probe working circuit uses a high-level electrical signal to indicate that the circuit is functioning normally. For example, a high-level signal can be represented by the digital signal 1.

[0181] In some embodiments, when the controller receives a high-level electrical signal from the auxiliary probe working circuit, it can determine that the auxiliary probe working circuit is working normally and accordingly determine that the auxiliary probe is powered on.

[0182] S820: When the electrical signal is low, it is determined that the auxiliary probe has not been successfully powered on.

[0183] In this circuit, the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit is low, indicating that the auxiliary probe working circuit is not working. For example, a high level can be represented by the digital signal 0.

[0184] In some embodiments, when the controller receives a low-level electrical signal from the auxiliary probe working circuit, it can determine that the auxiliary probe working circuit is not working, and accordingly determine that the auxiliary probe has not been successfully powered on.

[0185] In this embodiment, when the electrical signal is high, it is determined that the auxiliary probe is energized; when the electrical signal is low, it is determined that the auxiliary probe is not successfully energized. In the above method, the high and low levels of the auxiliary probe's operating circuit can accurately reflect the energization status of the auxiliary probe, and the signal acquisition process is simple and easy to implement, thus improving the overall accuracy and efficiency of determining the energization status of the auxiliary probe.

[0186] In one embodiment, to address the situation where the auxiliary probe fails to be powered on, the above method further includes:

[0187] If the auxiliary probe fails to receive power, the battery baking device will trigger an alarm.

[0188] There are several reasons why the auxiliary probe might fail to receive power. For example, it could be that the auxiliary probe and the probe base are not properly aligned and in contact, the auxiliary probe itself is faulty, or the probe base itself is faulty, etc. Regardless of the cause, the failure of the auxiliary probe to receive power will pose a certain safety hazard to the entire battery baking equipment.

[0189] In some embodiments, if the controller determines that the auxiliary probe has not been successfully powered on, it can directly control the battery baking equipment to alarm instead of powering other probes, so as to prompt the operator to troubleshoot the problem through an alarm.

[0190] For example, alarm methods include, but are not limited to, sound, light, electricity, or a combination of these methods. The battery baking device can also communicate with external devices via a communication circuit formed by communication probes to send alarm information indicating that the auxiliary probe has not been successfully powered on, under the instruction of the controller. This external device can be a terminal associated with the battery baking device, such as a computer or mobile phone.

[0191] In this embodiment, the battery baking device is triggered to alarm when the auxiliary probe fails to be powered on. This direct alarm when the auxiliary probe fails to be powered on promptly alerts operators to troubleshoot the problem, thereby improving the orderly and safe operation of the equipment.

[0192] After powering other probes, the power-on status of those probes can continue to be monitored. Therefore, in one embodiment, as shown in Figure 9, the method further includes:

[0193] S910. While controlling the power supply to other probes, obtain the power-on status of other probes.

[0194] The energizing status of other probes is used to characterize whether there is effective contact between other probes and the probe base. Energizing other probes indicates effective contact with the probe base; conversely, if other probes are not successfully energized, it indicates that there is no effective contact between them and the probe base.

[0195] In some embodiments, the controller can acquire the power-on status of other probes, determine whether other probes are powered on, and take different subsequent control measures.

[0196] S920: If other probes fail to be powered on, control the battery baking equipment to alarm.

[0197] In some embodiments, if the controller determines that other probes have not been successfully powered on, it can directly control the battery baking equipment to alarm, so as to prompt the operator to troubleshoot the problem through an alarm.

[0198] For example, similar to the case where the auxiliary probe fails to be powered on, the alarm method includes, but is not limited to, sound, light, electricity, or a combination of these methods. The battery baking device can also communicate with external devices via the communication circuit formed by the other probes to send alarm information indicating that the other probes have failed to be powered on, under the instruction of the controller. This external device can be a terminal associated with the battery baking device, such as a computer or mobile phone.

[0199] In this embodiment, while controlling the power supply to other probes, the power-on status of the other probes is acquired, so as to control the battery baking device to alarm if the other probes fail to be powered on. The above method achieves continuous monitoring of the power-on status of other probes and directly alarms when other probes fail to be powered on, which can promptly prompt operators to troubleshoot problems, thereby improving the orderly and safe operation of the equipment.

[0200] The energizing state of other probes can be determined based on the other probe operating circuits formed by the other probes. Therefore, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG10, obtaining the energizing state of other probes in S910 above includes:

[0201] S1010: Obtain the electrical signals of other probe working circuits; other probe working circuits refer to the loops formed after other probes come into contact with the probe base.

[0202] Among them, the electrical signals of other probe working circuits can be used to characterize the working state of other probe working circuits, and can correspondingly characterize the energizing state of other probes in other probe working circuits.

[0203] In some embodiments, when the controller determines that power is to be supplied to other probes, it can control the other probes' operating circuits to be turned on in order to obtain electrical signals from the other probes' operating circuits. Simultaneously, the controller can control the auxiliary probes' operating circuits to be turned off, or it can keep the auxiliary probes' operating circuits on.

[0204] For example, while keeping the auxiliary probe working circuit on, the controller can continue to monitor the auxiliary probe working circuit to determine the power-on status of the auxiliary probe. If it is determined that the auxiliary probe has not been successfully powered on, the controller can then control the other probe working circuits to disconnect and stop powering other probes.

[0205] S1020. Determine the power-on status of other probes based on the electrical signals of other probe working circuits.

[0206] In some embodiments, after obtaining the electrical signals of other probe operating circuits, the controller can determine the energizing state of the other probes based on the electrical signals of the other probe operating circuits. For example, a correspondence between electrical signals and energizing states can be preset. The controller can then determine the energizing state corresponding to the obtained electrical signals of other probe operating circuits based on this correspondence, and use this as the energizing state of the other probes.

[0207] Similar to the auxiliary probe circuit, the electrical signals of other probe circuits can be either high or low. In some embodiments, if the controller reads a high-level electrical signal from another probe circuit, it can determine that the other probe circuit is working normally and accordingly determine that the other probe is powered on; conversely, if the controller reads a low-level electrical signal from another probe circuit, it can determine that the other probe circuit is not working and accordingly determine that the other probe has not been successfully powered on.

[0208] In this embodiment, the energizing state of other probes is determined by acquiring the electrical signals of their operating circuits. Here, the operating circuit of another probe refers to the circuit formed after the other probe contacts the probe base. In this method, the electrical signals of the operating circuits of other probes can be used to characterize their energizing state. Acquiring these signals after controlling the supply of power to the other probes in the battery baking device to determine their energizing state not only enables continuous monitoring of the battery baking device but also facilitates convenient signal reading, thereby improving efficiency.

[0209] Before controlling the power supply to the auxiliary probes in the battery baking device, the controller is also used to control the alignment of the probes with the base. In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0210] First, control the other probes to contact the probe base corresponding to their positions, and then control the auxiliary probe to contact the probe base corresponding to its positions.

[0211] In some embodiments, the battery baking device can communicate with a transmission device to control other probes and / or probe bases so that the other probes contact the probe bases corresponding to their positions, and to control auxiliary probes and / or probe bases so that the auxiliary probes contact the probe bases corresponding to their positions.

[0212] Since the conductor length of the auxiliary probe in contact with the probe base is less than the conductor length of the other probes in contact with the probe base, the controller can first control the other probes to contact the probe base corresponding to the position to achieve initial contact between the other probes and the probe base, and then control the auxiliary probe to contact the probe base corresponding to the position to achieve effective contact between the other probes and the probe base.

[0213] For example, when auxiliary probes and other probes are disposed on a probe plate and probe bases are disposed on a base plate, the controller can control the probe plate to move directly above the base plate according to a preset movement program, so that the auxiliary probes and other probes on the probe plate correspond to the probe bases on the base plate. The probe plate is then moved downwards by a first movement distance, causing the longer other probes to contact the probe bases, achieving initial contact between the other probes and the probe bases. Then, the probe plate is moved downwards by a second movement, causing the shorter auxiliary probes to contact the probe bases, achieving effective contact between the other probes and the probe bases. Alternatively, the controller can control the probe plate to move in one step until the shorter auxiliary probes contact the probe bases, achieving effective contact between the other probes and the probe bases through a single movement by a third movement distance.

[0214] In this embodiment of the disclosure, before controlling the power supply to the auxiliary probe in the battery baking device, the other probes are first controlled to contact the probe base corresponding to their positions, and then the auxiliary probe is controlled to contact the probe base corresponding to its positions. This method achieves control over the alignment of the probe and the base, reducing alignment time and thus improving control efficiency.

[0215] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG11, this disclosure also provides a control method for a battery baking device, comprising the following steps:

[0216] S1101, In response to the heating command of the battery baking equipment, control other probes to contact the probe base corresponding to the position, and control the auxiliary probe to contact the probe base corresponding to the position; the conductor length of the auxiliary probe in contact with the probe base is less than the conductor length of the other probes in contact with the probe base.

[0217] S1102, Control the power supply to the auxiliary probe in the battery baking equipment;

[0218] S1103. Obtain the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit; the auxiliary probe working circuit represents the circuit formed after the auxiliary probe contacts the probe base;

[0219] S1104. Determine whether the auxiliary probe is energized based on the electrical signal of the auxiliary probe working circuit;

[0220] S1105. If the auxiliary probe fails to be powered on, control the battery baking equipment to alarm.

[0221] S1106. When the auxiliary probe is powered on, control the power supply to other probes in the battery baking equipment;

[0222] S1107. Obtain the electrical signals of other probe working circuits; other probe working circuits refer to the loops formed after other probes come into contact with the probe base;

[0223] S1108. Determine whether other probes are energized based on the electrical signals from the working circuits of other probes;

[0224] S1109. If other probes fail to be powered on, control the battery baking equipment to alarm.

[0225] The specific procedures in the above steps can be found in the relevant steps in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0226] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least a portion of the steps or stages of other steps.

[0227] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG12, a control device for a battery baking device is provided. The control device 1200 for the battery baking device includes a heating response module 1201 and a power supply control module 1202.

[0228] The heating response module 1201 is used to respond to the heating command of the battery baking device and control the power supply to the auxiliary probe in the battery baking device; the power supply control module 1202 is used to control the power supply to other probes in the battery baking device when the auxiliary probe is powered on; the conductor length of the auxiliary probe in contact with the probe base is less than the conductor length of the other probes in contact with the probe base.

[0229] In one embodiment, the supply voltage of the auxiliary probe is lower than that of the other probes.

[0230] In one embodiment, the above-described apparatus further includes:

[0231] The auxiliary signal module is used to acquire the electrical signals of the auxiliary probe working circuit; the auxiliary probe working circuit represents the circuit formed after the auxiliary probe contacts the probe base.

[0232] The auxiliary status module is used to determine the energization status of the auxiliary probe based on the electrical signals of the auxiliary probe's working circuit.

[0233] In one embodiment, the auxiliary status module includes:

[0234] The first auxiliary submodule is used to determine that the auxiliary probe is energized when the electrical signal is high.

[0235] The second auxiliary submodule is used to determine that the auxiliary probe has not been successfully powered on when the electrical signal is low.

[0236] In one embodiment, the above-described apparatus further includes:

[0237] The first abnormal alarm module is used to control the battery baking equipment to alarm when the auxiliary probe fails to be powered on.

[0238] In one embodiment, the above-described apparatus further includes:

[0239] Other status modules are used to obtain the power-on status of other probes when power is supplied to other probes under control;

[0240] The second abnormal alarm module is used to issue an abnormal alarm when other probes fail to be powered on.

[0241] In one embodiment, the other state modules include:

[0242] The signal submodule is used to acquire electrical signals from the working circuits of other probes; the working circuits of other probes refer to the loops formed after other probes come into contact with the probe base.

[0243] The status submodule is used to determine the power-on status of other probes based on the electrical signals from the working circuits of other probes.

[0244] In one embodiment, the above-described apparatus further includes:
