Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of new energy technology, and in particular to an insulation detection device and an insulation detection method for a battery pack cooling plate. Background Art
[0002] With the shortage of traditional energy and the increasing severity of environmental issues, the development of new energy vehicles (NEVs) as an alternative to traditional vehicles has become a hot topic of concern. The importance of safety in battery packs, as core components of NEVs, is evident.
[0003] The working principle of the battery pack cooling plate is as follows: the excess heat generated by the battery is transferred through contact with the surface of the battery pack cooling plate. The liquid cooling system uses the large heat transfer coefficient of liquid flow to transfer high heat by liquid flow, and is eventually carried away by the coolant passing through the internal flow channel of the device. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This disclosure section is provided to briefly introduce concepts that will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This disclosure section is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solution.
[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an insulation detection device for a battery pack cooling plate, comprising: a detection position for placing the battery pack cooling plate, wherein the battery pack cooling plate is hollow and an insulating coating is applied to the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate; conductive cotton, arranged in the detection position, for wrapping the battery pack cooling plate; a first conductive member, connected to the inner wall of the battery pack cooling plate; a second conductive member, connected to the conductive cotton; and an insulation tester, a first end of which is connected to the first conductive member, and a second end of which is connected to the second conductive member.
[0006] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an insulation detection method for a battery pack cooling plate, comprising: placing a battery pack cooling plate wrapped with conductive cotton into a detection position, wherein the battery pack cooling plate is hollow and an insulating coating is applied to the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate; connecting a first conductive member to an inner wall of the battery pack cooling plate; connecting a second conductive member to the conductive cotton; connecting a first end of an insulation tester to the first conductive member, and connecting a second end of the insulation tester to the second conductive member; turning on the insulation tester, and determining the insulation strength of the insulating coating of the battery pack cooling plate based on the measurement value of the insulation tester.
[0007] The insulation testing device and method for a battery pack cooling plate provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure employ a testing position in which conductive cotton, used to wrap the battery pack cooling plate, is placed. The two ends of an insulation tester are connected to the conductive cotton and the inner wall of the battery pack testing plate, respectively, via a first conductive member and a second conductive member. This allows the insulation tester to test whether an electrical path can be formed between the inner and outer surfaces of the battery pack cooling plate, thereby determining the insulation level of the battery pack cooling plate's insulating coating.
[0008] Specifically, if there are defects in the insulating coating on the outer surface of the battery pack, causing the battery pack cooling plate to be connected to the conductive cotton, the resistance between the inner wall of the battery pack cooling plate and the conductive cotton is small, and an electrical path can be formed; if there are no defects in the insulating coating on the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate, there is no connection between the inner wall of the battery pack cooling plate and the conductive cotton, and the resistance between the battery pack cooling plate and the conductive cotton is large, which can be considered to be insulated. Therefore, the insulation of the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate can be accurately detected. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of an insulation detection device for a battery pack cooling plate according to the present disclosure. Figure 1 The insulation detection device shown may include: a detection position 1, conductive cotton 3, an insulation detector 4, a first conductive member 61, and a second conductive member 62.
[0023] In this embodiment, detection position 1 is used to place the battery pack cooling plate 2.
[0024] Here, the battery pack cooling plate is hollow, and an insulating coating is applied on the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate.
[0025] Here, the detection position can be in the shape of a long strip and a groove. The detection position can be made of an insulating material; for example, the detection position can be made of a bakelite board, which has the characteristics of insulation, no static electricity generation, wear resistance and high temperature resistance.
[0026] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The detection position 1 may include a base plate 11 and a cover plate 12. The base plate 11 and the cover plate 12 may both be made of insulating materials.
[0027] In some embodiments, the inspection sites may be placed on an inspection stage substrate.
[0028] Optionally, the detection position may also include side panels, and the structure surrounded by the bottom plate, side panels and cover plate is in the form of a cube, which is hollow. The hollow position of the detection position can be used to place a battery pack cooling plate wrapped with conductive cotton.
[0029] In this embodiment, the conductive cotton 3 can be set in the detection position to wrap the battery pack cooling plate.
[0030] In some embodiments, the conductive cotton may include first-direction conductive cotton and second-direction conductive cotton. The first-direction conductive cotton may contact the bottom plate and cover plate of the detection position, and is therefore also referred to as upper and lower conductive cotton. The second-direction conductive cotton may contact the side plates of the detection position, and is therefore also referred to as left and right conductive cotton.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first conductive member 61 is connected to the inner wall of the battery pack cooling plate; the second conductive member 62 is connected to the conductive cotton.
[0032] It can be understood that the conductive cotton wraps the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate, and the second conductive member is connected to the conductive cotton. It can be understood that the second conductive member and the insulating coating applied on the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate can be in repeated contact.
[0033] As an example, the first conductive member may be any form of conductive medium extending from the inner wall of the battery pack cooling plate.
[0034] As an example, the second conductive member may be any form of conductive medium directly or indirectly connected to the conductive cotton.
[0035] In this embodiment, the insulation tester has a first end connected to the first conductive member, and a second end connected to the second conductive member.
[0036] Here, the first end of the insulation tester can be electrically connected to the inner wall of the battery pack cooling plate, and the second end can be in full contact with the insulating coating applied on the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate; if a defect appears at any position of the insulating coating (causing the insulation effect to deteriorate), the second end can be electrically connected to the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate at the defect position through the conductive cotton. In addition, if the base material of the battery pack cooling plate is made of alloy material (conductive), then the second end can be electrically connected to the inner wall of the battery pack cooling plate.
[0037] It should be noted that the insulation testing device for the battery pack cooling plate provided in this embodiment has a testing position in which conductive cotton, used to wrap the battery pack cooling plate, is placed. The two ends of the insulation tester are connected to the conductive cotton and the inner wall of the battery pack testing plate, respectively, via a first conductive member and a second conductive member. This allows the insulation tester to test whether an electrical path can be formed between the outer surface of the battery pack and the insulating coating on the inner wall of the pack cooling plate, thereby determining the insulation level of the insulating coating on the battery pack cooling plate.
[0038] Specifically, if there are defects in the insulating coating on the outer surface of the battery pack, causing the battery pack cooling plate substrate to be connected to the conductive cotton, the resistance between the inner wall of the battery pack cooling plate and the conductive cotton is small, and an electrical path can be formed; if there are no defects in the insulating coating on the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate, there is no connection between the inner wall of the battery pack cooling plate and the conductive cotton, and the resistance between the battery pack cooling plate and the conductive cotton is large, which can be considered to be insulated. Therefore, the insulation of the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate can be accurately detected.
[0039] Optionally, the insulation requirements can be set according to the actual application scenario. In some embodiments, the preset requirements may include: insulation voltage ≥ 4KV, leakage current ≤ 0.5MA.
[0040] In some embodiments, the insulation detection device may include at least two detection positions.
[0041] Optionally, the positional relationship between the at least two detection positions may be set according to actual application scenarios.
[0042] In some embodiments, the at least two detection positions are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction, or the at least two detection positions are arranged in parallel in the vertical direction.
[0043] It should be noted that, by setting at least two detection positions, batch detection of battery pack cooling plates can be achieved, thereby improving the speed of detecting battery pack cooling plates.
[0044] In some embodiments, the battery pack cooling plate may include a first surface and a second surface, and a width of the first surface may be greater than a width of the second surface.
[0045] In some embodiments, the groove width of the detection site can match the width of the first surface.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 An exemplary structural schematic diagram of a battery pack cooling plate is shown in FIG.
[0047] exist Figure 2 In the embodiment, the width of the first surface 21 of the battery pack cooling plate may be greater than the width of the second surface 22 of the battery pack cooling plate. As an example, Figure 2 The second surface 22 is wavy, and the width of the wavy second surface can be determined by the following method: use two plates close to the two first surfaces of the battery pack cooling plate, and the distance between the two plates can be used as the width of the second surface.
[0048] Here, the groove width of the detection position matches the width of the first surface, and may include the groove width being slightly larger than the width of the first surface.
[0049] In some embodiments, the groove width of the detection site can match the width of the second surface.
[0050] Here, the groove width of the detection position matches the width of the second surface, and may include the groove width being slightly larger than the width of the second surface.
[0051] Optionally, the shape of the notch of the detection position may match the shape of the second surface, or the shape of the notch may be rectangular.
[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 The insulation detection device shown in the figure also includes a pressing device 5. The pressing device can be used to increase the contact tightness between the conductive cotton and the battery pack cooling plate.
[0053] As an example, Figure 1 The pressing device 5 can transmit pressure to the cover plate 12, and the cover plate 12 can press the conductive cotton toward the battery pack cooling plate.
[0054] Specifically, if the conductive cotton is not in sufficient contact with the insulating coating on the outer surface of the battery pack cooling plate, the insulating coating defect may not be detected during insulation testing.
[0055] In some embodiments, the pressing device may include a pressing member and a pressure transmitting member.
[0056] Here, the pressurizing method of the pressurizing member can be set according to the actual application scenario and is not limited here. As an example, the pressurizing member can be manually pressurized or automatically pressurized by an instrument.
[0057] In some embodiments, the pressurizing member may include a first type of pressurizing member, which may be a manual clamp.
[0058] In some embodiments, the pressurizing member may include a second type of pressurizing member, which may include a pressing cylinder and a sliding sleeve. The sliding sleeve may cooperate with the sliding shaft.
[0059] In some embodiments, if the number of the detection position is one, the pressurizing member may include a manual clamp, and the pressure transmitting member may include a gasket in contact with the cover plate.
[0060] In some embodiments, if there are multiple detection sites, the pressurizing member may include a second type of pressurizing member.
[0061] Here, the specific implementation of the pressure transmission component can be set according to the actual application scenario. In some embodiments, the pressure transmission component can include but is not limited to at least one of the following: a sliding shaft, a slideway, and a spring.
[0062] Here, the sliding shaft passes through at least two detection positions, and a spring is sleeved on the sliding shaft between adjacent detection positions; when the detection position moves along the sliding shaft, the slideway is used to assist in positioning the detection position.
[0063] For example, when a pressure member applies pressure to parallel detection positions, the baffles are three-dimensional, and the sliding shaft and slideway can control the sliding direction of the baffles between the detection positions, causing the baffles to move along the sliding shaft and slideway. The springs between the detection positions (or the springs between the baffles) can support the adjacent baffles. Under pressure, the distance between the baffles decreases.
[0064] In some embodiments, the insulation testing device may have one or more pressurizing components, which may be of the same or different types. The insulation testing device may also have one or more pressure transmitting components, which may be of the same or different types.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of an insulation detection device for a battery pack cooling plate according to the present disclosure.

The cover plate is located above each detection station; each detection station can share the same cover plate, or each detection station's cover plate can be independent of each other. Upper and lower adjacent detection stations can be separated by baffles.

Optionally, the battery pack cooling plate can be placed in the testing position first, and then the testing position can be assembled; or the testing position can be assembled first, and then the battery pack cooling plate can be placed in the testing position from the side.

[0077] It should be noted that Figure 3 The insulation testing equipment provided has various testing positions arranged horizontally, thereby making it possible to quickly place the battery pack cooling plate to be tested into the testing position and quickly start testing; moreover, it is possible to simultaneously test multiple battery pack cooling plates, thereby improving testing efficiency.
[0078] Please refer to Figure 4 , which shows a schematic diagram of an embodiment of an insulation detection device for a battery pack cooling plate according to the present disclosure.

Then, the conductive cotton and the battery pack cooling plate can be clamped vertically using a vertical pressure member and a pressure transmission member. After that, the conductive cotton and the battery pack cooling plate can be clamped horizontally using a horizontal pressure member and a pressure transmission member.
