a position of the second operating body near the second end is hinged with the second end of the first operating body, and the hook is used to be clamped with a battery module when the profiling connector is inserted in the socket; and
the elastic member is arranged between the first operating body and the second operating body so that a preset included angle is formed between the first operating body and the second operating body, and is used to provide resilience.
2 . The test tool of claim 1 , further comprising:
two guide pillars connected with the second end of the operating portion and respectively arranged on two sides of the profiling connector.
3 . The test tool of claim 1 , wherein:
a hinge block is connected with a first side face of the first operating body, a first end of the hinge block is aligned with the second end of the first operating body and is provided with a first hinge ring, and the second operating body is provided with a second hinge ring, the first hinge ring and the second hinge ring being hinged via a rotating shaft.
4 . The test tool according to claim 3 , wherein:
the hinge block is one of two hinge blocks arranged at an interval;
the second operating body comprises two connecting legs, the two connecting legs are each provided with the second hinge ring, and the hook is arranged at a first end of the connecting leg; and
the two second hinge rings are respectively hinged with the first hinge rings of the two hinge blocks.
5 . The test tool of claim 4 , wherein:
the second operating body further comprises a crossbar, and two ends of the crossbar are respectively connected with the second ends of the two connecting legs to form a structure for hand-holding.
6 . The test tool of claim 4 , further comprising:
two abutting blocks, where first ends of the two abutting blocks are connected with the second end of the first operating body, and second ends of the two abutting blocks extend toward the two connecting legs and abut against the two connecting legs;
wherein the two guide pillars are respectively connected with the two abutting blocks.
7 . The test tool of claim 1 , wherein:
the elastic member is an elastic plunger, a spring or a leaf spring.
8 . The test tool of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first fastener that is connected with the first operating body, has an accommodating space in the middle, and has a plurality of jacks communicating with the accommodating space at a first end of the accommodating space;
wherein the profiling connector is connected with the first end of the first fastener, and the elastic probe extends into the accommodating space through the jack.
9 . The test tool of claim 8 , wherein:
the first fastener is connected with a side face of the first operating body facing the second operating body, the first end of the first fastener is aligned with the second end of the first operating body, and a lead wire channel communicating with the accommodating space is provided at a second end of the first fastener opposite to the first end.
10 . The test tool of claim 8 , further comprising:
a second fastener connected with the first fastener;
wherein the first end of the first fastener is inserted to and mated with a tail end of the profiling connector, a first clamping portion is provided on one side of the profiling connector, and a second clamping portion is provided on the second fastener, the first clamping portion being clamped with the second clamping portion.
11 . The test tool of claim 10 , wherein:
steps are provided on opposite sides of the first end of the first fastener, a groove is provided at the tail end of the profiling connector, and the groove is mated with the steps;
a stepped block protruding from one side of the tail end of the profiling connector forms the first clamping portion, and the second clamping portion is a clamping slot on the second fastener.
12 . A battery testing method using the test tool of claim 1 , comprising:
providing a battery having a socket; and
inserting the profiling connector into the socket by holding the operating portion with hand, to cause the elastic probe to abut against and be electrically connected with a probe of the socket.
