[0006] Further, the driving member is provided with a cylinder, and the transmission member is provided with a positioning pin, a spring, a positioning column, multiple groups of linear bearings, and guide columns. The linear bearings are respectively arranged around the cylinder and connected to the lower pressure mounting plate; the guide columns are arranged in the respective linear bearings and connected to the upper part of the upper cavity base; the floating joint is arranged at the end of the cylinder connecting rod and fixedly connected; the fixing block is assembled and connected with the floating joint and arranged above the upper cavity base; the cylinder drives the upper cavity base to move vertically in the Z-axis direction.

[0007] Further, the direct-acting two-way solenoid valve group is arranged behind the lower cavity base; the proportional valve group is arranged behind the direct-acting two-way solenoid valve group; the two-position five-way solenoid valve group is arranged behind the direct-acting two-way solenoid valve group.

[0008] Further, the lower cavity is arranged directly above the lower cavity base; the upper cavity is arranged directly below the upper cavity base and is connected to the positioning pins; the positioning pins are arranged on the left and right sides of the lower cavity to accurately press the power lithium battery top cover; the spring and the positioning column are arranged at the liquid injection hole of the power lithium battery top cover in the lower cavity; the limit block is arranged above the positioning column to limit the displacement of the positioning column in the Z-axis direction.

[0009] Further, the proportional valve group is provided with a first proportional valve and a second proportional valve; the direct-acting two-way solenoid valve group is provided with a first direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V1, a second direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V2, a third direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V3, a fourth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V4, a fifth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V5, a sixth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V6, a seventh direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V7, and an eighth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V8, which are arranged in a straight line along the X-axis.

[0010] A detection method for a double-station airtightness detection device applied to a power lithium battery top cover includes the following steps:

[0011] A. The power lithium battery top cover is placed in the lower cavity under the guiding action of the positioning column. The two-position five-way solenoid valve group changes the flow direction of the compressed air of the cylinder on the left station, and the cylinder drives the upper cavity to press down vertically. Through the guiding action of the positioning pins, the upper cavity accurately presses the outside of the power lithium battery top cover.

[0012] B. After the pressing is completed, by the sealing action of the inner seal ring of the power lithium battery, the power lithium battery top cover is divided into three regions, namely the left pole column region, the explosion-proof valve region, and the right pole column region; at the same time, due to the pressing force of the cylinder and the sealing action of the seal ring, the lower cavity isolates the inner side of the power lithium battery top cover from the external air pressure to form an inner sealed region.

[0013] C. The first direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V1, the second direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V2, the third direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V3, the fifth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V5, the sixth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V6, the seventh direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V7, and the eighth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V8 are closed, and at the same time, the fourth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve V4 is opened. The compressed air passes through the second proportional valve to adjust the air pressure to three times the atmospheric pressure and enters the inner sealed region of the power lithium battery top cover.

[0014] D. After the fourth pressure sensor detects that the air pressure in this area is three times the atmospheric pressure, the second proportional valve is closed. If the pressure value converted from the signal collected by the fourth pressure sensor is still three times the atmospheric pressure, it indicates that the airtightness of the inner side of the power lithium battery top cover is good. Otherwise, if the first pressure sensor detects a pressure value, it indicates a leak in the left pole column; if the second pressure sensor detects a pressure value, it indicates a leak in the explosion-proof valve; if the third pressure sensor detects a pressure value, it indicates a leak in the right pole column.

[0015] E. The fifth two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V5, the sixth two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V6, the seventh two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V7, and the eighth two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V8 are opened, and each area is connected to the atmospheric pressure.

[0016] F. The first two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V1, the second two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V2, and the third two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V3 are opened, and the fourth two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V4, the fifth two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V5, the sixth two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V6, the seventh two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V7, and the eighth two-way direct-acting solenoid valve V8 are closed.

[0017] G. The compressed air passes through the first proportional valve to adjust the air pressure to three times the atmospheric pressure and enters the three sealed areas on the outer side of the power lithium battery top cover. After the first pressure sensor, the second pressure sensor, and the third pressure sensor detect that the air pressure in this area is three times the atmospheric pressure, the first proportional valve is closed. If the pressure value detected by the fourth pressure sensor is zero, it indicates that the airtightness of the outer side of the power lithium battery top cover is good. If the pressure value detected by the fourth pressure sensor is not zero, there is a leak in the outer side of the power lithium battery top cover.

[0018] H. The cylinder drives the upper cavity to rise vertically, and the device starts to detect the other working station, and operates in such a cycle.

[0019] Furthermore, the first pressure sensor is connected to the left pole column area; the second pressure sensor is connected to the explosion-proof valve area; the third pressure sensor is connected to the right pole column area; the fourth pressure sensor is connected to the inner sealed area.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. By automatically monitoring the pressure values of each sealed area through pressure sensors to detect the airtightness of the power lithium battery top cover, it can automatically find the leakage area of the power lithium battery top cover with poor airtightness, further improve the production process of the power lithium battery top cover, can automatically find the leakage point of the power lithium battery top cover, the judgment result is accurate, and the traceability is good.

[0022] 2. By using the method of the cylinder pressing down instead of manual pressing down, introducing three times the atmospheric pressure into the inner side of the power lithium battery top cover and maintaining the air pressure value, and through the coordinated operation of each pressure sensor, two-way direct-acting solenoid valve group, proportional valve group, and five-way two-position solenoid valve group, it realizes the highly automated airtightness detection of the power lithium battery top cover, can save the measurement time, reduce the manual workload, and effectively improve the efficiency.

[0044] Preferably, the direct-acting two-port solenoid valve group 14 is a solenoid valve VDW10AA;

[0045] The detection method of this device is as follows:

[0046] A. The top cover of the power lithium battery is placed in the lower cavity 15 under the guiding action of the positioning post 20. The five-way two-position solenoid valve group 13 changes the flow direction of the compressed air of the cylinder 6 on the left station, and the cylinder 6 drives the upper cavity 16 to vertically press down. Under the guiding action of the positioning pin 17, the upper cavity 16 accurately presses the outside of the top cover of the power lithium battery.

[0047] B. After the pressing is completed, due to the sealing effect of the inner seal ring of the power lithium battery, the top cover of the power lithium battery is divided into three regions, namely the left pole column region 161, the explosion-proof valve region 162, and the right pole column region 163. At the same time, due to the pressing force of the cylinder 6 and the sealing effect of the seal ring, the lower cavity 15 isolates the inner side of the top cover of the power lithium battery from the external air pressure to form an inner sealing region 155.

[0048] C. The first direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 141, the second direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 142, the third direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 143, the fifth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 145, the sixth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 146, the seventh direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 147, and the eighth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 148 are closed. At the same time, the fourth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 144 is opened, and the compressed air passes through the second proportional valve 122 to adjust the air pressure to three times the atmospheric pressure and enters the inner sealing region 155 of the top cover of the power lithium battery.

[0049] D. After the fourth pressure sensor 154 detects that the air pressure in this region is three times the atmospheric pressure, the second proportional valve 122 is closed. If the pressure value converted from the signal collected by the fourth pressure sensor 154 is still three times the atmospheric pressure, it indicates that the inner airtightness of the top cover of the power lithium battery is good. On the contrary, if the first pressure sensor 151 detects a pressure value, it indicates a leak in the left pole column; if the second pressure sensor 152 detects a pressure value, it indicates a leak in the explosion-proof valve; if the third pressure sensor 153 detects a pressure value, it indicates a leak in the right pole column.

[0050] E. The fifth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 145, the sixth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 146, the seventh direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 147, and the eighth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 148 are opened, and each region is connected to the atmospheric pressure.

[0051] F. The first direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 141, the second direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 142, and the third direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 143 are opened, and the fourth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 144, the fifth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 145, the sixth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 146, the seventh direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 147, and the eighth direct-acting two-way solenoid valve 148 are closed.

[0052] G. The compressed air passes through the first proportional valve 121 to adjust the air pressure to three times the atmospheric pressure and enters the three sealed areas outside the top cover of the power lithium battery. After the first pressure sensor 151, the second pressure sensor 152, and the third pressure sensor 153 collect that the air pressure in this area is three times the atmospheric pressure, the first proportional valve 121 is closed. If the pressure value detected by the fourth pressure sensor 154 is zero, the airtightness outside the top cover of the power lithium battery is good. If the pressure value detected by the fourth pressure sensor 154 is not zero, there is air leakage outside the top cover of the power lithium battery.

[0053] H. The air cylinder 6 drives the upper cavity 16 to rise vertically, and the device starts to detect the other working station, and operates in such a cycle.

[0054] Example 2, see Figures 8 - 9 , this example is basically the same as Example 1, the difference is that at the upper end of the positioning pin 17 of the lower cavity 15,

[0055] The upper cavity 16 is provided with an embedding groove 161 matching the positioning pin 17, and an electromagnet 162 is arranged in the embedding groove 161. When the positioning pin 17 is embedded into the upper cavity 16, the electromagnet 162 is turned on, and the positioning pin and the lower cavity 15 fixedly connected to the positioning pin are sucked upward, so that the gap between the upper cavity 16 and the lower cavity 15 is closed, enhancing the sealing performance and ensuring the accuracy of the airtightness detection of the lithium battery top cover.

[0056] Example 3, see Figures 10 - 11 , this example is basically the same as Example 1, the difference is that the upper cavity 16 and the lower cavity 15 are located outside the detection placement groove of the lithium battery top cover, and are provided with an elastic pressure expansion sealing rubber ring 153 and a sealing rubber ring groove 154. The elastic pressure expansion sealing rubber ring 153 is placed in the sealing rubber ring groove 154, and a middle air channel 155 is arranged in the elastic pressure expansion sealing rubber ring 153, and the elastic pressure expansion sealing rubber ring is connected to an air compressor;

[0057] When the upper cavity and the lower cavity are pressed together, the air compressor presses air into the elastic pressure expansion sealing rubber ring, so that the elastic pressure expansion sealing rubber ring expands, and the elastic pressure expansion sealing rubber ring fits completely with the upper cavity and the lower cavity, preventing the problem of poor sealing between the upper cavity and the lower cavity due to machining accuracy, and increasing the detection accuracy of the detection equipment itself.

[0058] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
