BATTERY INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILE, AND BATTERY INSPECTION METHOD FOR ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To cope with assembly of batteries for electric automobiles in mass production.

SOLUTION: This inspection system 254 for a cell battery assembly 10 comprises a voltage determination means to detect cell voltage between a positive electrode and a negative electrode in a battery cell 16, and determine if the detected cell voltage is within a prescribed range, a cell voltage inspection device 40 provided with a control signal output means to output a control signal in accordance with result of determination by the cell voltage determination means, and a cell conveyor control device 74 for change control for charging and eliminating battery cells 16 to/from an assembly line based on attributes of the control signal from the control signal output means in the cell voltage detection device 40. The cell conveyor control device 74 comprises a first distribution mechanism 262 to distribute the battery cells 16 recognized as normal based on result of determination by the cell voltage determination means to a corresponding assembly line based on the contents of the distribution control signal from the control signal output means among the assembly lines in the corresponding number to the number of groups represented by the distribution control signal.
