Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0033] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 10 illustrate.

[0034] The present application provides a battery shell air tightness detection device (hereinafter referred to as the detection device), which is used to detect the air tightness of a lithium battery shell 4, and can detect whether cracks are generated in the metal battery shell 4 during stretching. It can be used in any link after the battery shell 4 is formed to perform automated air tightness detection on the battery shell 4, thereby reducing the need for manual operation and improving work efficiency.

[0035] Specifically, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the detection device includes a mounting platform 5, a detection mechanism 1, an exhaust component and a feeding mechanism 3. The mounting platform 5 is used to install the detection mechanism 1, the exhaust component and the feeding mechanism 3. The detection mechanism 1 is used to install the battery housing 4. A flow channel is provided in the detection mechanism 1. The flow channel and the interior of the battery housing 4 form a sealed pressure measuring space. The detection mechanism 1 can detect the negative pressure value in the pressure measuring space; the exhaust component is connected to the pressure measuring space to create a negative pressure test condition; the feeding mechanism 3 is used to place the battery housing 4 on the detection mechanism 1, or to take the battery housing 4 out of the detection mechanism 1. The three mechanisms cooperate with each other to realize automatic detection of the airtightness of the battery housing 4, with extremely low labor requirements and greatly improved work efficiency.

[0036] Among them, in the detection mechanism 1, if Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the detection mechanism 1 is provided with a plurality of installation stations, each of which corresponds to the installation of a battery housing 4, and each of which corresponds to a loading station, so that the detection device can detect a plurality of battery housings 4 at a time, greatly improving the work efficiency.

[0037] Further, the detection mechanism 1 is described in detail; Figures 3 to 10 As shown, the detection mechanism 1 includes a mounting block 11, a mounting base 12 and a sealing ring 13. The mounting base 12 is arranged on the mounting platform 5, the mounting block 11 is arranged on the mounting base 12, and the sealing ring 13 is sleeved at the connection between the mounting block 11 and the mounting base 12 to achieve sealing between the mounting block 11 and the mounting base 12; specifically, the mounting block 11 is a rectangular block structure, which is basically similar to the structure of the battery housing 4, and is slightly smaller than the battery housing 4, so that the battery housing 4 can be sleeved on the mounting block 11; the mounting base 12 is a rectangular block structure, and its width and length are both greater than the width and length of the mounting block 11; the sealing ring 13 is a rectangular annular structure, which is sleeved on the bottom of the mounting block 11, and its length and width are both greater than the length and width of the mounting block 11, and less than the length and width of the mounting base 12, so as to ensure that the sealing ring 13 and the mounting block 11 can fully fall on the mounting base 12, and ensure the stable connection and sealing of the battery housing 4 by the detection mechanism 1.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figures 6 to 10As shown, the circulation channel includes a first gas channel 111 and a second gas channel 121, the first gas channel 111 is arranged on the mounting block 11, one end of the first gas channel 111 opens on the side wall of the mounting block 11 and communicates with the inside of the battery housing 4, and the other end opens on the bottom of the mounting block 11; the second gas channel 121 is arranged on the mounting base 12, one end of the second gas channel 121 opens on the upper end surface of the mounting base 12 and communicates with the first gas channel 111, and the other end opens on the side end surface of the mounting base 12 and communicates with the exhaust member; wherein, the first gas channel 111, the second gas channel 121 and the inside of the battery housing 4 together form a sealed pressure measuring space, which does not need to be manually blocked; the battery housing 4 is directly sleeved on the mounting block 11, and can be directly pressure-measured inside the battery housing 4, and the mounting block 11 has a certain supporting effect on the structure of the battery housing 4, which can avoid the battery housing 4 from being squeezed and deformed when negative pressure is generated, and reduce the probability of the battery housing 4 being damaged in the airtightness detection, and the operation is simple, there is no need to worry about problems such as plugging and leakage, which can reduce interference factors in the detection and greatly improve the detection accuracy. The second gas channel 121 is connected to the exhaust member at one end away from the first gas channel 111.

[0039] Further, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the first gas channel 111 is divided into a first channel 1111 and a second channel 1112, the second channel 1112 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first channel 1111, the first channel 1111 is arranged in the vertical direction, the lower end of the first channel 1111 opens at the bottom of the mounting block 11, the bottom of the upper end of the first channel 1111 is located at about 4 / 5 of the height of the mounting block 11, the upper end of the first channel 1111 is not provided with a vertical opening on the mounting block 11, but openings communicating with the second channel 1112 are provided at both ends; specifically, the second channel 1112 includes two ports, namely a first port and a second port, the first port opens on the outer side wall of the mounting block 11, and the second port extends inwardly to communicate with the upper end position of the first channel 1111, so that the first channel 1111 can be connected with the inside of the battery housing 4 through the second channel 1112, and then the air inside the battery housing 4 can be sucked away to generate negative pressure.

[0040] In this embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, in the vertical direction, the height of the first port of the second channel 1112 is lower than the second port, so that the second channel 1112 is an inclined structure. If there is oil or other impurities in the battery housing 4, when the vacuum component draws out the air in the pressure measuring space, the gas in the battery housing 4 enters the first channel 1111 through the second channel 1112, and then enters the second gas channel 121 of the mounting base 12. When entering the first channel 1111 from the second channel 1112, impurities such as oil stains will be guided by the downward inclination of the second channel 1112 during the process of climbing from the first port to the second port, and it is difficult to enter the first channel 1111 through the second port, thereby ensuring that impurities and the like are difficult to enter the vacuum component, thereby avoiding affecting the vacuum component.

[0041] Among them, in this embodiment, the height of the first port of the second channel 1112 is higher than the bottom of the mounting block 11, and the first port is located approximately at 2 / 3 of the height of the mounting block 11, so that impurities such as oil and dirt are difficult to enter the first port of the second channel 1112, which can further prevent impurities from entering the vacuum component during pumping, and further ensure the safety of the vacuum component.

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figures 7 and 8 As shown, the second gas channel 121 includes a third channel 1211 and a fourth channel 1212. The third channel 1211 is arranged in the vertical direction. The upper end of the third channel 1211 opens on the upper end surface of the mounting base 12 and is connected to the first channel 1111, and the lower end of the third channel 1211 is connected to the fourth channel 1212; the fourth channel 1212 is arranged perpendicular to the third channel 1211, one end of the fourth channel 1212 opens on the side wall of the mounting base 12 and is connected to the exhaust member, and the other end extends to the middle position of the mounting base 12 in the horizontal direction, and the part thereof located in the mounting base 12 is provided with an upward opening to be connected to the third channel 1211; thereby, the second gas channel 121 is connected to the first gas channel 111.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the vacuum component is evacuating air, the gas in the battery housing 4 enters the vacuum component through the second channel 1112, the first channel 1111, the third channel 1211, and the fourth channel 1212 in sequence, thereby forming a negative pressure in the pressure measuring space, and realizing airtightness detection through the cooperation of the detection component.

[0044] Among them, Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figures 9 and 10As shown, an annular sealing groove 113 is provided at the bottom of the mounting block 11, and the sealing groove 113 is recessed inwardly. The sealing groove 113 is used to install the sealing ring 13. The horizontal depth of the sealing groove 113 is less than the horizontal thickness of the sealing groove 113, so that the sealing ring 13 is at least partially located in the sealing groove 113 and partially exposed outside the sealing groove 113, and the exposed part supports the battery housing 4. When the battery housing 4 is sleeved on the mounting block 11, the bottom of the battery housing 4 fits with the top of the exposed part of the sealing ring 13. In addition to forming a seal for the connection between the mounting block 11 and the mounting base 12, the sealing ring 13 also forms a seal for the connection between the battery housing 4 and the mounting block 11, so as to ensure the effective sealing of the pressure measuring space formed by the detection mechanism 1 and the battery housing 4, and to ensure the accuracy of airtightness detection.

[0045] Further, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the sealing ring 13 fits with the upper end surface of the mounting base 12, and a limiting convex ring 131 is provided at the bottom of the sealing ring 13, and the limiting convex ring 131 is located in the middle position of the sealing ring 13; the limiting convex ring 131 is an annular structure, the limiting convex ring 131 protrudes downward, the cross-section of the limiting convex ring 131 is a hemispherical structure, the limiting convex ring 131 is relatively small, and the limiting convex ring 131 acts between the bottom of the sealing ring 13 and the upper end surface of the mounting base 12. The limiting convex ring 131 can increase the connection stability between the mounting base 12 and the sealing ring 13, increase the friction between the sealing ring 13 and the mounting base 12, and reduce the probability of slippage when the sealing ring 13 and the mounting base 12 are in surface contact, thereby improving the sealing performance of the detection mechanism 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, two limiting protrusions 131 are provided on the sealing ring 13 , and the two limiting protrusions 131 are evenly spaced and distributed to ensure force stability.

[0047] like Figure 5 , Figures 8 to 10 In the embodiment, a mounting through hole 112 is provided on the mounting block 11, and the mounting through hole 112 passes through the mounting block 11 in the vertical direction. The mounting through holes 112 are arranged in two groups, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first gas channel 111, and each group is provided with two; correspondingly, a limiting blind hole 122 is provided on the mounting base plate, and the limiting blind hole 122 is coaxially arranged with the mounting through hole 112. The limiting blind hole 122 is opened on the upper end surface of the mounting base 12, and the bottom of the limiting blind hole 122 is not opened. The mounting through hole 112 and the limiting blind hole 122 are used for the insertion of the same connecting piece, and the connecting piece is inserted into the mounting through hole 112 and the limiting blind hole 122 from top to bottom in sequence, so as to realize the connection between the mounting block 11 and the mounting base 12, and the bottom of the connecting piece does not pass through the mounting base 12, so that all the through channels of the mounting block 11 are controlled above the mounting base 12 and located in the battery housing 4, so as to avoid leakage at the bottom of the mounting base 12 and affect the air tightness detection error of the battery housing 4.

[0048] Among them, Fig.10 As shown, the mounting through hole 112 is divided into a first part and a second part, the first part is located above the second part, and the inner diameter of the first part is larger than the inner diameter of the second part, so that the head of the connecting member (bolt or screw) can be limited in the first part by the second part, avoiding the head of the connecting member protruding to the surface of the mounting block 11 and affecting the installation of the battery housing 4.

[0049] In addition, Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figures 9 and 10 As shown, a guide surface is provided on the top of the mounting block 11, and the guide surface is an inclined structure, so that the top of the mounting block 11 is a conical structure, and the width and length of the upper end of the mounting block 11 are smaller than the middle and bottom parts, so that when the battery housing 4 is installed from top to bottom, the guide surface can guide the battery housing 4, so that the battery housing 4 can be smoothly installed downward onto the mounting block 11, and at the same time, the initial contact area between the battery housing 4 and the mounting block 11 is reduced, the probability of collision between the two due to incomplete alignment is reduced, the impact on the battery housing 4 is reduced, and the protection of the battery housing 4 is improved.

[0050] Further, such as Figure 7 As shown, the mounting block 11 includes a first side surface 115 and a second side surface 116, the first side surface 115 and the second side surface 116 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the angle between the first side surface 115 and the second side surface 116 is 90°, that is, the first side surface 115 and the second side surface 116 are vertically connected, and there are two first side surfaces 115 and two second side surfaces 116, and the two first side surfaces 115 are arranged in parallel on both sides of the second side surface 116 to form a columnar structure. Among them, a pressure relief groove 114 is provided on the first side surface 115 or the second side surface 116, and the pressure relief groove 114 is arranged in the vertical direction, and the pressure relief groove 114 is recessed toward the center direction of the mounting block 11, and the plurality of pressure relief grooves 114 are arranged at intervals, and the pressure relief groove 114 reduces the fitting area between the first side surface 115 or the second side surface 116 of the mounting block 11 and the battery housing 4, which can reduce the adhesion area of ​​the oil to the battery housing 4 and the mounting block 11, and reduce the oil adsorption force, so that the feeding mechanism 3 can easily remove the battery housing 4 from the mounting block 11.

[0051] In addition, Figure 1 to Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, the detection mechanism 1 also includes a branch joint 16, an air inlet valve 14 and a pressure extraction valve 15 arranged on the mounting platform 5. The number of the branch joints 16 corresponds to the number of installation stations, that is, each installation station is provided with a branch joint 16; the fourth channel 1212 of the mounting base 12 is provided with an air outlet joint at an opening, and the air outlet joint is connected to the branch joint 16 by a pipeline, and the air outlet end of the air outlet joint is connected to the pressure extraction valve 15 through a pipeline; in this embodiment, the detection component is arranged in the branch joint 16 to detect the pressure value in the pressure measuring space; wherein the pressure extraction valve 15 includes at least three joints, and the three joints are respectively connected to the air extraction component, the air inlet valve 14, and the mounting base 12 through pipelines.

[0052] In this embodiment, the pressure extraction valve 15 is used to control the connection between the pressure measuring space and the air extraction member, that is, when pressure extraction is required, the pressure extraction valve 15 is controlled to open the connection between the air extraction member and the branch joint 16, and at the same time close the connection between the air inlet valve 14 and the pressure measuring space, and the air extraction member extracts pressure from the pressure measuring space. When the pressure measuring space measures the rated value, the connection between the air extraction member and the pressure measuring space is closed, and the pressure of the pressure measuring space is maintained. During the pressure maintenance period, the detection member in the branch joint 16 measures whether the pressure value in the pressure measuring space changes. If it changes, it indicates that there is a probability of leakage in the battery housing 4, and the air tightness of the battery housing 4 may be poor. When the pressure measurement is completed, the pressure measuring space needs to be depressurized so that the loading mechanism 3 can remove the battery housing 4 from the mounting housing; when releasing the pressure, it is necessary to ensure that the connection between the vacuum component and the pressure measuring space is closed, and then the connection between the air intake valve 14 and the pressure measuring space is opened through the pressure extraction valve 15, so that external air can enter the pressure measuring space through the air intake valve 14, and the pressure inside the battery housing 4 is released, so that the inside of the battery housing 4 returns to normal pressure, so that the loading mechanism 3 can easily remove the battery housing 4 from the mounting block 11.

[0053] It should be noted that if Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the inner diameter of the first channel 1111 is larger than that of the second channel 1112, and the inner diameter of the third channel 1211 is smaller than that of the fourth channel 1212. When the pressure is pumped out, the gas flows from the second channel 1112 to the first channel 1111, and the pressure is reduced, thereby reducing the power for impurities such as oil to enter the first channel 1111; the gas flows from the first channel 1111 to the third channel 1211, and the pressure is increased, which can impact the oil impurities and the like entering the first channel 1111 at the bottom of the first channel 1111, thereby reducing the probability of entering the third channel 1211 and the fourth channel 1212; During pressure relief, the gas flows from the third channel 1211 to the first channel 1111, and the pressure decreases, making it more difficult for impurities in the air to enter the second channel 1112 through the first channel 1111; when the gas flows from the first channel 1111 to the second channel 1112, the pressure increases, which speeds up the gas circulation rate, speeds up the pressure relief rate, and improves the detection efficiency.

[0054] In addition, Figure 6 As shown, the lower opening of the third channel 1211 is arranged in the middle of the fourth channel 1212, so that there is a distance between the bottom of the fourth channel 1212 and the opening of the third channel 1211. When the pressure is released, impurities in the air will be rushed into the bottom of the fourth channel 1212, reducing the probability of impurities entering the third channel 1211.

[0055] Furthermore, filters are provided on the air inlet valve 14 and the air extraction member, so that when the pressure is extracted, the air entering the air extraction member can be filtered to prevent impurities from entering the air extraction member; when the pressure is released, the air entering the air inlet valve 14 can be filtered to prevent impurities from entering the pressure measuring space.

[0056] Based on any of the above embodiments, the feeding mechanism 3 is further described; Figure 1 to Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeding bracket 33, a feeding claw 31 and a feeding drive assembly 32.

The loading station can be any part of the battery shell 4 production line. The entire detection device is arranged on the side of the production line. The feeding drive assembly 32 drives the feeding claw 31 to move, so that the battery shell 4 can be moved to the detection mechanism 1 for airtightness detection, or the battery shell 4 after detection can be moved to the original station, so that the battery shell 4 can continue to complete subsequent work.

[0066] Specifically, Fig.17 , Fig.18 As shown, the oil scraper includes a scraper 215 and a mounting support 216, and the mounting support 216 includes a top plate 2162 and a side plate 2163. At least one end of the top plate 2162 is connected to the side plate 2163, so that the mounting support 216 is an arch structure or an inverted L-shaped structure; the top plate 2162 of the mounting support 216 is connected to the mounting bracket by screws, and the end of the top plate 2162 is vertically connected to the side plate 2163, and the side plate 2163 extends toward the mounting platform 5; the scraper 215 is arranged on the side plate 2163 of the mounting support 216, and the side of the scraper 215 facing the mounting block 11 at least partially protrudes from the edge of the side plate 2163 of the mounting support 216, so that the scraper 215 can avoid the mounting support 216 from contacting the mounting block 11, thereby scraping off the lubricating oil on the mounting block 11.
