[0055] Embodiment 1:

[0056] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a battery pack bottom scraping test device mainly includes: a trolley 1, a battery pack fixing module 2 and a ball barrier module 3.

[0057] The trolley 1 includes a frame 10 and wheels 11 mounted on the frame 10. During the test, the entire test device can be moved by pulling the trolley 1.

[0058] The battery pack fixing module 2 is arranged on the vehicle frame 10 and is used to fix the battery pack. The battery pack is detachably fixed on the trolley 1 through the battery pack fixing module 2, simulating the installation method of the actual vehicle (electric vehicle) to ensure the accuracy of the test. In addition, in this embodiment, it is also convenient to adjust the height and inclination of the battery pack, and the battery pack can be quickly adjusted to the same installation position as that on the actual vehicle.

[0059] like Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the battery pack fixing module 2 includes a connecting member 20 and a left fixing group 21 and a right fixing group 22 arranged at intervals. The left fixing group 21 and the right fixing group 22 are symmetrically arranged at the two ends of the connecting member 20. The connecting member 20 of this embodiment is a connecting plate. The connecting member 20 is fixedly connected to the frame 10. Specifically, a plurality of through holes are opened on the connecting member 20, and bolts pass through the through holes thereon to detachably fix it to the frame 10, so as to realize the detachable fixed connection between the battery pack fixing module 2 and the frame 10, and ensure convenient disassembly and assembly. Among them, one end of the connecting member 20 is connected to the left fixing group 21, and the other end of the connecting member 20 is connected to the right fixing group 22. The connection position of the connecting member 20 on the left fixing group 21 and the right fixing group 22 can be adjusted left and right to adjust the spacing between the left fixing group 21 and the right fixing group 22. By adjusting the fixed connection position of the connecting member 20 on the left fixing group 21 and the right fixing group 22 to the left and right, and then adjusting the distance between the left fixing group 21 and the right fixing group 22, it is ensured that battery packs of different widths and different models can be fixed on the battery pack fixing module 2 of this embodiment, thereby ensuring its versatility and wide range of application.

[0060] Specifically, the left fixing group 21 and the right fixing group 22 each include an upper connecting bracket 211, a lower connecting bracket 212, a fixing bracket 213 and an angle adjusting member 214. The lower connecting bracket 212 is rotatably connected to the upper connecting bracket 211. Specifically, the upper connecting bracket 211 and the lower connecting bracket 212 can be rotatably connected via a hinge, and the connection is simple. The fixing bracket 213 is installed on the lower connecting bracket 212, and the battery pack is fixed between the fixing brackets 213 of the left fixing group 21 and the right fixing group 22. Specifically, the fixing bracket 213 is L-shaped, including a vertically arranged connecting plate and a fixing plate, and a plurality of fixing holes are provided in the length direction of the fixing plate. Bolts pass through the through holes on the battery pack and the fixing holes on the fixing plate to detachably fix the battery pack on the fixing plate. The fixing holes on the fixing plate are waist-shaped, which is convenient for the insertion of bolts without precise alignment. Among them, the installation height of the fixing bracket 213 on the lower connecting bracket 212 is adjustable to adjust the height of the battery pack. Because the battery pack is fixedly installed on the fixing bracket 213, when the fixing bracket 213 is adjusted up and down, the height of the battery pack will change accordingly.

[0061] like Figure 2-Figure 6As shown, the angle adjustment piece 214 has a plurality of angle adjustment inclined surfaces with different inclination angles. The angle adjustment piece 214 can be arranged between the upper connecting bracket 211 and the lower connecting bracket 212, and can be abutted against the lower connecting bracket 212 through different angle adjustment inclined surfaces to adjust the inclination angle of the battery pack. Specifically, the angle adjustment piece 214 is arranged in a multi-prism shape. The angle adjustment piece 214 in this embodiment is preferably, but not limited to, an irregular hexagonal prism shape, and can be made of a hollow tube. The angle adjustment piece 214 has a first angle adjustment inclined surface 214A, a second angle adjustment inclined surface 214B, and a third angle adjustment inclined surface 214C adjacent to each other in sequence. The angle adjustment piece 214 has a first abutment plane 214D on the opposite side of the first angle adjustment inclined surface 214A, a second abutment plane 214E on the opposite side of the second angle adjustment inclined surface 214B, and a third abutment plane 214F on the opposite side of the third angle adjustment inclined surface 214C. The angle between the first angle adjustment inclined surface 214A and the first abutting plane 214D is a first angle (the angle is Figure 6 A1 in the figure), the angle between the second angle adjustment inclined surface 214B and the second abutting plane 214E is the second angle (the angle is Figure 6 A2 in the figure), the angle between the third angle adjustment inclined surface 214C and the third abutting plane 214F is the third angle (the angle is Figure 6 In the figure, the first angle A1, the second angle A2 and the third angle A3 are not equal. Preferably, among A1, A2 and A3, one is 3 degrees, one is 4 degrees and one is 5 degrees.

[0062] In actual use, when the first abutting plane 214D abuts against the upper connecting bracket 211 and the first angle adjustment slope 214A abuts against the lower connecting bracket 212, the inclination angle of the battery pack relative to the horizontal plane can be made equal to the first angle A1. When the second abutting plane 214E abuts against the upper connecting bracket 211 and the second angle adjustment slope 214B abuts against the lower connecting bracket 212, the inclination angle of the battery pack relative to the horizontal plane can be made equal to the second angle A2. When the third abutting plane 214F abuts against the upper connecting bracket 211 and the third angle adjustment slope 214C abuts against the lower connecting bracket 212, the inclination angle of the battery pack relative to the horizontal plane can be made equal to the third angle A3. When the angle adjustment member 214 is detached from between the upper connecting bracket 211 and the lower connecting bracket 212, the battery pack can be adjusted to a horizontal state. That is, in this embodiment, the tilt angle of the battery pack can be adjusted to at least 0 degrees, 3 degrees, 4 degrees and 5 degrees, and the tilt angle value can be selected according to actual needs.

[0063] In this embodiment, the angle adjustment piece 214 has a first angle adjustment inclined surface 214A, a second angle adjustment inclined surface 214B and a third angle adjustment inclined surface 214C which are adjacent to each other in sequence and have different inclination angles, and a first abutment plane 214D, a second abutment plane 214E and a third abutment plane 214F are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the three. Through the cooperation of the abutment plane and the angle adjustment plane, the battery pack can at least have three different inclination angles (for example: 3 degrees, 4 degrees and 5 degrees); the angle adjustment piece 214 is detached from between the upper connecting bracket 211 and the lower connecting bracket 212, so that the battery pack can be arranged horizontally (that is, not tilted). The structural design of the angle adjustment piece 214 is ingenious and the angle adjustment is convenient.

[0064] More specifically, the lower connecting bracket 212 is provided with a plurality of first gear slots 212A, and the fixing bracket 213 is fixed in the first gear slot 212A by a first fixing bolt 215. In order to ensure reliable fixing, one or more nuts are provided on the first fixing bolt 215. In addition, the first fixing bolt 215 can be switched among the plurality of first gear slots 212A to adjust the height of the battery pack. The specific implementation method of the first fixing bolt 215 switching among the plurality of first gear slots 212A is as follows: the plurality of first gear slots 212A are arranged in parallel and are located at different heights. One end of the plurality of first gear slots 212A is connected through the first connecting slot 212B, and the first connecting slot 212B is perpendicular to the plurality of first gear slots 212A. The first fixing bolt 215 can switch among the plurality of first gear slots 212A along the first connecting slot 212B to adjust the height of the battery pack. During the switching process, the first fixing bolt 215 can be switched without being pulled out from the first gear slot 212A, and the adjustment is convenient.

[0065] Preferably, after the first fixing bolt 215 fixes the fixing bracket 213 in the first gear slot 212A, the first fixing bolt 215 may be detachably provided with a first locking member 216 (such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 2 ), one end of the first locking member 216 abuts against the first fixing bolt 215, and the other end of the first locking member 216 abuts against the side wall of the first connecting groove 212B, locking the first fixing bolt 215. One end of the first locking member 216 has an arc surface, and the other end is a plane. The arc surface on the first locking member 216 abuts against the screw cylinder surface of the first fixing bolt 215, and the plane on the other end of the first locking member 216 abuts against the side wall of the first connecting groove 212B, ensuring that the first fixing bolt 215 is reliably locked, the first fixing bolt 215 will not shift, and the first locking member 216 is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0066] More specifically, the upper connecting bracket 211 is provided with a plurality of second gear slots 211A along its width direction, and the end of the connecting member 20 is fixed in the second gear slot 211A by a second fixing bolt 217. The second fixing bolt 217 can be switched between the plurality of second gear slots 211A to adjust the spacing between the left fixing group 21 and the right fixing group 22, and adjust the spacing between the left fixing group 21 and the right fixing group 22 to be equal to the spacing of the battery pack to be tested, so as to ensure that the battery pack fixing module 2 can firmly fix the battery pack to be tested, and the battery pack fixing module 2 of this embodiment can adapt to battery packs of different widths and specifications.

[0067] Among them, one end of the plurality of second gear slots 211A is connected through the second connecting slot 211B, and the second fixing bolt 217 can switch between the plurality of second gear slots 211A along the second connecting slot 211B. A row of second gear slots 211A is respectively provided on both sides of the second connecting slot 211B on the upper connecting bracket 211, and one end of the two rows of second gear slots 211A are connected through the second connecting slot 211B. The two rows of gear slots on both sides of the second connecting slot 211B are staggered to ensure that as many gears as possible are ensured within a limited width range, so as to be applicable to more battery packs of different widths.

[0068] Preferably, when the second fixing bolt 217 fixes the end of the connecting member 20 in one of the second gear slots 211A, the second fixing bolt 217 may be detachably provided with a second locking member 218 (such as Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 2 ), one end of the second locking member 218 abuts against the second fixing bolt 217, and the other end of the second locking member 218 abuts against the side wall of the second communicating groove 211B, locking the second fixing bolt 217. The structure of the second locking member 218 is the same as that of the first locking member 216, that is, one end of the second locking member 218 has an arc surface, and the other end is a plane.
