[0002] The cylindrical battery of the car usually includes a cover plate and a shell, and after the cover plate and the shell support are completed, the airtightness of the cover plate needs to be measured. Among them, the helium leak detection process is currently the main leak detection method for battery structural parts, and the helium leak detection process is used to detect whether the sealing of the corresponding cover plate structure is intact. Because helium is non-toxic to the human body and the natural environment, cannot be burned, is safe to operate, and helium will not react chemically with the object being tested. It plays an irreplaceable role in the production process of battery structural parts.

In the existing preparation process of the battery shell, the battery shell and the cover are an integrated structure. During the helium inspection of the battery shell, the battery shell is directly inserted into the relevant equipment for helium inspection. The battery shell is not stably clamped and is prone to falling during external collisions and self-adjustment, which affects the helium inspection of the battery shell and makes it impossible to detect the sealing of the integrated battery shell. A helium inspection device for the battery shell is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
