Detailed Description
In the description of the present invention, it is to be understood that the terms "left", "right", "front", "back", "upper", "lower", and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for convenience of description and simplification of description, but do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus, should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a cell short circuit testing system of the present invention, which is composed of a cell conveying line 1, a short circuit testing device 2, and the like, wherein the cell conveying line 1 is used for intermittently conveying cells, and includes a circulating conveyor belt, and a series of supporting members 11 are fixed on the conveyor belt. A positioning notch 111 (shown in fig. 8) is formed at the top of the support member 11 for positioning the battery cell; the short circuit testing device 2 is used for connecting the positive and negative plates of the battery cell to perform a short circuit test.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of a short circuit testing device in a cell short circuit testing system of the present invention, which is composed of two independent electrical contact units, and for convenience of description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the two electrical contact units are respectively named as a first electrical contact unit 21 and a second electrical contact unit 22. When the cell is subjected to a short-time test, the first electrical contact unit 21 and the second electrical contact unit 22 move in opposite directions to be connected with the positive tab and the negative tab of the cell respectively. The first electrical contact unit 21 includes a base 211, an auxiliary member 212 vertically fixed to the base 211, and a chucking member 213 radially reciprocating with respect to the base 211. The gripping members 213 are provided in three, circumferentially equispaced around the auxiliary member 212 (as shown in figure 4). When the clamping member 213 is in the tightened state by the cylinder, a cavity is formed which fits into the outer side wall of the auxiliary member 212. The second electrical contact element 22 corresponds to the above-described configuration of the first electrical contact element 21. Compare in traditional electric core short circuit test system, set up through adopting above-mentioned technical scheme, when carrying out actual test to electric core, the just, negative pole ear of its tip all moves towards along the length direction of its auxiliary member 212 outer wall, and then chucking spare 213 tightens up the action to make just, the negative pole ear pastes with the form of face contact on auxiliary member 212. Therefore, the first electrical contact unit 21 and the second electrical contact unit 22 are reliably and stably contacted with the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab of the battery cell respectively, poor contact can be effectively prevented, the accuracy of a short-circuit test result is improved, and the occurrence of a test misjudgment phenomenon is avoided.
As a further optimization, the working portion of the auxiliary member 212 may preferably be designed to be conical to facilitate the movement of the positive and negative tabs along the outer wall thereof, ensuring reliable contact with the first electrical contact unit 21 and the second electrical contact unit 22.
For reasons of manufacturing cost and ease of movement control, the auxiliary member 212 is preferably a rod-like structure, and accordingly, the working surface of the clamping member 213 is configured as a concave arc shape, and together form a complete circular cavity structure when the clamping member 213 is in the tightened state.
Of course, the specific number of the clamping members 213 and the driving manner of the radial movement can be designed according to the actual situation, but care should be taken to ensure the accuracy of the position and the synchronism of the movement of each clamping member 213 relative to the central auxiliary member 212.
Furthermore, in order to reduce the influence of the relative position of the battery cell on the accuracy of the test result, the first electrical contact unit 21 and the second electrical contact unit 22 are both designed to be position-adjustable, and the specific structure can be implemented as follows: a first support frame 24 is vertically fixed on a back plate (not shown) of the whole machine, and the first electric contact unit 21 and the second electric contact unit 22 are detachably fixed on the first support frame 24 through a connecting seat, and are provided with long-strip-shaped kidney-shaped holes so that the two can be adjusted in position in the front-back direction relative to the first support frame 24. The first support frame 24 is also provided with a long-strip kidney-shaped hole so that the position of the first support frame relative to the back plate of the whole machine can be adjusted in the vertical direction. Similarly, a long waist-shaped hole is also formed in the base 211, so that the position of the base can be adjusted in the left-right direction relative to the connecting seat 23. The maximum limit values of the adjustment amounts in the three directions are set according to actual conditions.
fig. 5 shows a schematic structural diagram of a cell short circuit testing system in a second embodiment of the present invention, and a cell position adjusting device 3 is additionally provided on the basis of the first embodiment, and is disposed at the upstream of the short circuit testing device 2. The cell position adjusting device 3 can realize the micro-adjustment of the axial position of the cell through the action of the cell position adjusting device, so that the next cell short circuit testing procedure is prepared, and the relative positions of the positive and negative electrode ears of the cell relative to the auxiliary part 212 and the clamping part 213 are ensured.
The cell position adjustment device 3 is composed of two abutting units (as shown in fig. 6) facing each other, and for convenience of description with reference to the drawings, the two abutting units are respectively named as a first abutting unit 31 and a second abutting unit 32. The first abutting unit 31 is composed of a base 311, an abutting member 312 vertically fixed to the base 311, and the like (as shown in fig. 7). The second abutting unit 32 has the same configuration as the first abutting unit 31. The first abutting unit 31 and the second abutting unit 32 move towards each other under the action of the air cylinder so as to adjust the axial position of the battery core. The working portion of each abutting member 312 corresponding to the battery cell may preferably be provided with a conical shape.
Based on the same design concept, the cell position adjusting device 3 may also be designed to be adjustable, so that the abutting member 312 can adjust the position in the vertical, horizontal, and front-back directions relative to the back plate of the whole machine, and the short circuit testing device can be specifically configured by analogy with the short circuit testing device 2.
Here, it should be noted that, in addition to the above-described cylinder, a linear motor or the like may be used as the power unit according to actual circumstances.
Finally, when the stroke error of the cylinder is too large or the error operation occurs, the two abutting pieces 312 disposed at the end of the battery cell are likely to cause pressure loss to the abutting pieces themselves, and in order to avoid the above phenomenon, the abutting pieces 312 may preferably be stroke pins, and have a certain elastic and retractable amount.
