View Patent ↗A terminal contacting part includes in a jig for charging and discharging a secondary battery and a jig including the terminal contacting part. The terminal contacting part has a conductive unit for contacting an electrode terminal and conducting thereto and a pressing unit for pressing the electrode terminal for the conductive unit to be in tight contact with an electrode lead of a secondary battery. A compressing plate to be in contact with an electrode terminal includes a pad of dielectric-elastic material.
1. A terminal contacting part included in a jig for charging and discharging a secondary battery, comprising:
a conductive unit for contacting an electrode lead of the secondary battery to flow current therein; and
a pressing unit for pressing the electrode lead for the conductive unit to be in tight contact with the electrode lead of the secondary battery,
wherein the pressing unit comprises:
a pressing bar for operating the pressing unit; and
a compressing plate to contact the electrode lead,
wherein the pressing bar is operated for the compressing plate to vertically descend to be in tight contact with the electrode lead in all area of the compressing plate with a same pressure simultaneously,
wherein the pressing bar is pivotally rotated around a rotation axis and the compressing plate connected to the pressing bar is moved vertically up-downward depending on a rotation movement of the pressing bar, and
wherein the compressing plate is provided with a pad of dielectric-elastic material.
2. The terminal contacting part of claim 1 , wherein the pad of dielectric-elastic material is formed on a lower surface of the compressing plate.
3. The terminal contacting part of claim 1 , wherein the dielectric-elastic material has a melting point of more than 100° C.
4. The terminal contacting part of claim 1 , wherein the dielectric-elastic material is made of one selected from a group of nitrile butadiene rubber, fluoro rubber, HBR (High cis BR), Styrene Butadiene Rubber, Chloroprene Rubber, Ethylene Propylene Terpolymers, EPDM, and silicon rubber.
5. The terminal contacting part of claim 1 , wherein an area of the compressing plate is in a range of 75-125% of an area of an electrode terminal.
6. The terminal contacting part of claim 1 , wherein the dielectric-elastic material is formed to surround whole compressing plate.
7. A jig for charging and discharging the secondary battery comprising the terminal contacting part according to claim 1 .
8. The jig for charging and discharging the secondary battery of claim 7 , wherein the terminal contacting part is detachable to be applied to all of the secondary battery in which a cathode terminal and an anode terminal are protruded to one direction or to opposite directions.
