Detailed Description
An example of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or uses. The drawings are schematic, and the ratio of the dimensions and the like are not necessarily the same as in reality.
As shown in fig. 1, an inspection socket 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a housing 10 and a plurality of plate-shaped probes 20 accommodated in the housing. The plurality of probes 20 includes a first probe 21 and a second probe 22.
The inspection socket 1 constitutes, for example, a part of an inspection device used for inspecting the battery 100 shown in fig. 2. The battery 100 has: a positive electrode terminal 101 having a substantially cylindrical shape and located at the center of one end in the axial direction (for example, X direction); and an annular edge 102 (see fig. 3) which is located radially outward of the positive electrode terminal 101 and is electrically connected to the negative electrode terminal. As an example, the positive electrode terminal 101 has a convex shape. The battery 100 is, for example, a lithium ion battery for EV (Electric Vehicle).
In the present embodiment, the plurality of probes 20 includes 2 first probes 21 and 2 second probes 22. In detail, the plurality of probes 20 includes: 2 first probe groups 211, 212 each including 1 first probe 21; and 2 second probe sets 221, 222 each including 1 second probe 22. The probe sets are electrically independent of each other. The first probe set 211 and the second probe set 221 function as, for example, sensing probes (sense pins), and the first probe set 212 and the second probe set 222 function as, for example, force probes (force pins). Each probe 20 is formed from a single piece.
As shown in fig. 1, the housing 10 has a substantially quadrangular prism shape, for example, and includes a plurality of storage portions 13 (see fig. 4 to 7) in which at least 1 probe 20 can be stored. Each housing portion 13 is configured to be able to house a probe 20 in a state where a first end 31 and a second end 41 of the probe 20, which will be described later, are exposed.
In the present embodiment, the case 10 is composed of 2 members 11 and 12 stacked in a first direction (for example, X direction) in which the accommodated probe 20 extends. Each housing portion 13 houses 1 probe 20. Each storage portion 13 is formed so that the thickness direction of the probe 20 stored in the storage portion 13 is uniform. A substantially circular recess 14 is provided in the surface 111 of the member 11 on which the first end 31 of the probe 20 is exposed. The bottom surface of the recess 14 is provided with 2 openings 112 through which the first ends 31 of the first probes 21 are exposed. On the outer side of the surface 111 in the radial direction of the recess 14, 2 openings 113 are provided for exposing the first ends 31 of the second probes 22, respectively. A substrate 110 is mounted on a surface 121 (see fig. 4 to 7) of the member 12 on which the second end 41 of the probe 20 is exposed.
As shown in fig. 4 to 7, the probe 20 has a first end 31 provided at one end in the first direction X and a second end 41 provided at the other end in the first direction X. In the present embodiment, the probe 20 includes: a first contact portion 30 having a first end portion 31; a second contact portion 40 having a second end portion 41; and an elastic portion 50 located between the first contact portion 30 and the second contact portion 40 in the first direction X and capable of expanding and contracting along the first direction X. The first contact portion 30 and the second contact portion 40 are located on an imaginary straight line L extending along the first direction X, and are connected by the elastic portion 50. That is, the first contact portion 30 and the second contact portion 40 are located at one end of the elastic portion 50 in a second direction (e.g., Y direction) intersecting the first direction X and the thickness direction (e.g., Z direction) of the probe 20.
The first contact portion 30 has a substantially rectangular plate shape extending along the first direction X. An end of the first contact portion 30 that is farther from the second contact portion 40 in the first direction X constitutes the first end 31. The elastic portion 50 is connected from the second direction Y to an end of the first contact portion 30 that is closer to the second contact portion 40 in the first direction X.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, when viewed along the first direction X, the first end 31 of the second probe extends in a direction intersecting the outer periphery 103 of the battery 100. The dimension W1 of the first end 31 of the second probe 22 in the second direction Y is larger than the dimension W2 of the edge 102 of the battery 100 in the radial direction.
The first end 31 of the first probe 21 is configured to be able to contact the positive electrode terminal 101 of the battery 100, and the first end 31 of the second probe 22 is configured to be able to contact the edge 102 of the battery 100. In detail, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the first end 31 of the first probe 21 has an inclined surface 32, and the inclined surface 32 is inclined in the first direction X in a direction approaching the second contact portion 40 as being away from the center line CL of the housing 10 extending in the first direction X in the second direction Y. As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the first end 31 of the second probe 22 has an uneven surface 33 formed with a plurality of irregularities. By configuring the first end 31 in this manner, the first probe 21 and the second probe 22 can be brought into point contact with the battery 100, respectively.
The second contact portion 40 has a substantially rectangular plate shape extending along the first direction X. The second contact portion 40 has a length in the first direction X smaller than the first contact portion 30. An end of the second contact portion 40, which is farther from the first contact portion 30 in the first direction X, constitutes a second end 41. The elastic portion 50 is connected from the second direction Y to an end of the second contact portion 40 that is closer to the first contact portion 30 in the first direction X.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the plurality of second probes 22 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 13 of the case 10 in a state where they can be brought into contact with the edge 102 of the battery 100.
The second ends 41 of the first and second probes 21 and 22 are configured to be capable of contacting terminals of the substrate 110. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4 to 7, the second end portions 41 of the first and second probes 21 and 22 have inclined surfaces 42, and the inclined surfaces 42 are inclined in the first direction X toward the first contact portion 30 as they are away from the center line CL in the second direction Y. By configuring the second end portion 41 in this manner, the first probe 21 and the second probe 22 can be brought into point contact with the substrate 110, respectively.
The elastic portion 50 has a plurality of first portions 51 and a plurality of second portions 52. The first portions 51 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and each linearly extends along the second direction Y. Each of the second portions 52 has a substantially semicircular arc shape extending along the first direction X, and both ends thereof are connected to the ends of the adjacent first portions 51, respectively. The first portions 51 located at both ends in the first direction X are connected to the first contact portion 30 and the second contact portion 40 from the same side in the second direction Y, respectively. All of the first portion 51 and the second portion 52 are located on the same side with respect to the side 34 of the first contact 30. The side surface 34 is a side surface opposite to the side surface to which the first portion 51 is connected, of a pair of side surfaces of the first contact portion 30 intersecting the second direction Y.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, when the first end 31 is made to approach the second end 41, the first probe 21 is housed in the housing portion 13 of the housing 10 so that the first end 31 moves in the second direction Y in a direction approaching the center of the housing 10. In other words, when the first probe 21 is pressed from the first end 31 side toward the second end 41, the first end 31 is wiped (swiping) in a direction toward the center line CL of the housing 10.
As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the second probe 22 is accommodated in the accommodation portion 13 of the housing 10 so that the first end 31 moves in the second direction Y in a direction away from the center of the housing 10 when the first end 31 is brought closer to the second end 41. In other words, when the second probe 22 is pressed from the first end 31 side toward the second end 41, the first end 31 is wiped away from the center line CL of the housing 10.
The inspection socket 1 can exhibit the following effects.
The inspection socket 1 includes a housing 10 and a plurality of plate-shaped probes 20 accommodated in the housing 10. Each probe 20 has a first end 31 provided at one end in the first direction and a second end 41 provided at the other end in the first direction. The plurality of probes 20 includes: at least 1 first probe 21 of which first end 31 can be in contact with positive terminal 101 of battery 100; and at least 1 second probe 22 with which first end 31 can contact edge 102 of battery 100. The first end 31 of the second probe 22 extends in a direction intersecting the outer periphery of the battery 100 when viewed in the first direction. The dimension W1 of the first end 31 of the second probe 22 in the second direction intersecting the first direction and the thickness direction of the probe 20 is larger than the dimension W2 of the edge 102 of the battery 100 in the radial direction. With this configuration, the inspection socket 1 capable of coping with a plurality of sizes of batteries can be realized.
In inspection of EV batteries, a spring needle having a cylindrical shape is generally used. However, the spring pin does not have an end having a shape suitable for the contact of the EV battery, and contact failure may occur during inspection. Since the pogo pin is generally composed of a plurality of parts, current characteristics are unstable in an inspection socket using the pogo pin. Therefore, in the case of miniaturizing or thinning the inspection socket, it is necessary to miniaturize the probe housed in the inspection socket, but if miniaturizing the probe, the conduction path through which the current flows is narrowed, and the probe generates heat at the time of conduction, so there is a demand for improving the heat dissipation of the inspection socket. When the current flowing during the inspection is high, for example, it is considered to bring a plurality of probes into contact with the battery. However, since the pogo pins generally have a cylindrical shape, when a plurality of pogo pins are housed in a housing, space saving of the inspection socket may not be achieved.
In the inspection socket 1, the shape of the first end 31 of the probe 20 can be customized according to the shape of the battery 100 (for example, the shape of the positive electrode terminal 101 and the edge 102), and therefore, occurrence of contact failure at the time of inspection can be reduced. In the inspection socket 1, since the plate-shaped probe 20 is used as a single member, the current characteristics can be stabilized, and the measured value can be stabilized during the inspection. The plate-like probes 20 are arranged in the same direction while being stacked in a plurality of sheets, for example, so that the inspection socket 1 can be efficiently arranged, and space saving can be achieved. The plate-like probe 20 can increase the area of contact with air as compared with the pogo pin, and therefore, the heat radiation performance of the inspection socket 1 can be improved, and the rise in the resistance value of the probe 20 can be suppressed.
The inspection socket 1 can arbitrarily adopt any 1 or more of the structures shown below. That is, 1 or more of the structures shown below can be deleted arbitrarily when they are included in the above embodiment, and added arbitrarily when they are not included in the above embodiment. By adopting such a configuration, the inspection socket 1 capable of coping with a plurality of sizes of batteries can be realized more reliably.
The plurality of probes 20 includes a plurality of first probes 21 and a plurality of second probes 22.
The plurality of probes 20 includes: a first probe set 211 having at least 1 first probe 21; and a second probe group 221 which is electrically independent from the first probe group 211 and has at least 1 second probe 22.
The plurality of second probes 22 are housed in the case 10 in a state where they can be brought into contact with the edge 102 of the battery 100.
The plurality of probes 20 are housed in the case 10 so as to be aligned in the thickness direction.
The first probe 21 is configured to be capable of contacting the positive electrode terminal 101 having a convex shape.
The first probe 21 has an elastic portion 50 located between the first end portion 31 and the second end portion 41 in the first direction and capable of expanding and contracting along the first direction. The first end 31 and the second end 41 are located at one end of the elastic portion 50 in the second direction. When the first end 31 is moved toward the second end 41, the first probe 21 is housed in the housing 10 so that the first end 31 moves in the second direction in a direction approaching the center of the housing 10.
The second probe 22 has an elastic portion 50 located between the first end 31 and the second end 41 in the first direction and capable of expanding and contracting along the first direction. The first end 31 and the second end 41 are located at one end of the elastic portion 50 in the second direction. The second probe 22 is housed in the case 10 so that the first end 31 moves in a direction away from the center of the case 10 in the second direction when the first end 31 approaches the second end 41.
The inspection apparatus can exhibit the following effects.
The inspection device is provided with at least 1 inspection socket 1. By the inspection socket 1, an inspection device capable of coping with a plurality of sizes of batteries can be realized.
The inspection socket 1 may be configured as follows.
The shape and structure of the housing 10 can be arbitrarily changed according to the design of the inspection socket 1, and the like. For example, the shape of the case 10 is not limited to a substantially quadrangular prism shape, and may be a substantially cylindrical shape, or may be a substantially polygonal shape other than a substantially quadrangular prism shape. The case 10 is not limited to the case of being composed of 2 members 11 and 12, but may be composed of 1 member, or may be composed of 3 or more members.
Fig. 8 shows an example of the inspection socket 1 in which the housing 10 is constituted of 5 members 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 laminated in the first direction X. In the inspection socket 1 of fig. 8, the housing 10 has a guide wall portion 62 and a window portion 61 in which the probe 20 housed inside can be visually confirmed from outside the housing 10. The window 61 is provided in plurality on a side surface 171 of the member 17 intersecting the thickness direction Z and a side surface 172 of the member 17 intersecting the second direction Y. By providing the window 61, the state of the stored probe 20 can be checked without disassembling the housing 10, and the heat radiation performance of the inspection socket 1 can be improved. The guide wall 62 is provided on the surface 111 of the member 15 on which the first end 31 of the probe 20 is exposed, and is configured to guide the battery 100 toward the first end 31.
For example, by forming a part of the case 10 from a material having high thermal conductivity (for example, aluminum), the same effect as that of forming the window 61 in the case 10 can be obtained.
The number of probes 20 accommodated in the inspection socket 1 can be arbitrarily changed according to the design of the inspection socket 1, and the like.
For example, in the inspection socket 1 of fig. 8, the plurality of probes 20 includes 4 first probe groups 211, 212, 213, 214 and 4 second probe groups 221, 222, 223, 224. The first probe set 211 of the 4 first probe sets 211, 212, 213, 214 includes 1 first probe 21, and functions as a sensing probe, for example. The remaining 3 first probe groups 212, 213, 214 include 3 first probes 21 stacked in the thickness direction Z, and function as force probes, for example. Likewise, the second probe set 221 of the 4 second probe sets 221, 222, 223, 224 includes 1 second probe 22, and functions as a sensing probe, for example. The remaining 3 second probe groups 222, 223, 224 include 3 second probes 22 stacked in the thickness direction Z, and function as force probes, for example. The first probe groups 211, 212, 213, 214 are located inside the opening 141 of the recess 14 when viewed along the first direction X. Specifically, the first probe groups 211 and 213 are arranged at equal intervals in the thickness direction Z, and the first probe groups 212 and 214 are arranged at equal intervals in the thickness direction Z. The first probe groups 211 and 213 and the first probe groups 212 and 214 are arranged at intervals in the second direction Y.
For example, in the inspection socket 1 of fig. 9, the plurality of probes 20 includes 6 first probe groups 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216 and 4 second probe groups 221, 222, 223, 224. 2 first probe groups 211, 215 of the 6 first probe groups 211, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216 include 1 first probe 21, and function as a sensing probe, for example. The remaining 4 first probe groups 212, 213, 214, 216 include 3 first probes 21 stacked in the thickness direction Z, and function as force probes, for example. The first probe groups 211, 213, 215 are arranged at equal intervals along the thickness direction Z, and the first probe groups 212, 214, 216 are arranged at equal intervals along the thickness direction Z. The first probe groups 211, 213, 215 and the first probe groups 212, 214, 216 are arranged at intervals in the second direction Y.
In this way, the number of probe sets and the number of probes included in 1 probe set can be changed to any number of 1 or more.
The plurality of probes 20 are not limited to the case where the thickness directions of all the probes 20 are identical, and may be housed in the case 10 where the thickness directions of all the probes 20 are not identical.
In the inspection socket 1 of fig. 9, a plurality of windows 61 are provided on a surface 151 of the member 15 of the housing 10 on which the first ends 31 of the probes 20 are exposed. Each of the windows 61 is configured to be capable of visually checking the elastic portions 50 of the 3 second probes 22 included in the second probe groups 222, 223, 224 functioning as force probes from the outside of the housing 10.
The shape and structure of the probe 20 can be arbitrarily changed according to the design of the inspection socket 1, and the like. For example, the first end 31 and the second end 41 are not limited to the case of having the inclined surface 32 or the uneven surface 33, and may have other structures according to the shape of the inspection object or the substrate 110. Fig. 10 shows an example of the inspection socket 1 in which the first end 31 of the first probe 21 is not the inclined surface 32 but has the concave-convex surface 33. The elastic portion 50 is not limited to the case having the first portion 51 and the second portion 52, and may have any structure that can expand and contract in the first direction X.
