[0055] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] Embodiment 1: Figure 1 - Fig.11 As shown, the present invention provides:

[0057] A battery pack shell detection device, comprising a test unit 10, the test unit 10 is equipped with a vacuum adsorption unit 20, the top of the inner cavity of the test unit 10 is provided with a platen 14 to place a shell 30 to be detected, the shell 30 is equipped with an adapter unit 40, and the outer wall of the adapter unit 40 is provided with a sealing unit 50;

[0058] The fitting component 43, driven by the variable pitch component 42, drives the sealing ring 51 to press against the inner wall joint of the shell 30, so that after the test unit 10 performs a water immersion test on the shell 30, it can be observed through the display component 53 whether the shell 30 is sealed and the specific leakage point can be observed.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The test unit 10 includes a base 11, on which a water immersion box 12 is placed, a transverse slide groove is provided at the top of the inner wall of the water immersion box 12, a table 14 is slidably assembled in the transverse slide groove, four corners of the upper surface of the base 11 are fixed with vertical rods, the top ends of the four vertical rods are commonly fixed with a top plate 13, and an electric hydraulic rod 15 is assembled on the top plate 13;

[0060] In the initial state, the table 14 is slid to one side of the immersion tank 12, and then the shell 30 to be tested is placed on the surface of the table 14. After the adapter unit 40 is installed, it is slid inward to the bottom of the vacuum adsorption unit 20. After the shell 30 is adsorbed and fixed, the table 14 is slid out to the outside of the immersion tank 12. After the test is completed, the shell 30 is lifted by the electric hydraulic rod 15, and then the table 14 is slid to the bottom of the shell 30 to release the adsorption of the shell 30.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vacuum adsorption unit 20 includes a hollow mounting member 21, a plurality of vacuum suction cups 22 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the hollow mounting member 21, a vacuum device 23 is mounted on the top plate 13, and the vacuum device 23 is connected to the hollow mounting member 21 through a connecting pipe 24;

[0062] Preferably, the vacuum device 23 is a vacuum pump, and its working principle is: by starting the vacuum device 23 to suck, negative air pressure is generated in the vacuum suction cup 22, so that the shell 30 to be inspected is firmly sucked, and the shell 30 can begin to be moved. When releasing, air is steadily inflated into the vacuum suction cup 22, so that the negative air pressure in the vacuum suction cup 22 changes to zero air pressure or slightly positive air pressure, and the vacuum suction cup 22 is separated from the shell 30.

[0063] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Fig.10The sealing unit 50 includes a sealing ring 51 sleeved on the outer surface of the middle rod 431 and the side rod 433, and a plurality of splash-proof grooves 52 distributed at equal intervals are opened on the outer wall of the sealing ring 51, and a display component 53 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the splash-proof groove 52;

[0064] like Figure 7 The display assembly 53 includes a connecting head 531 fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the splashproof groove 52, one end of the connecting head 531 is threadedly sleeved with a receiving tube 532, and a humidity card 533 is arranged in the receiving tube 532;

[0065] During the water immersion test, the sealing ring 51 is always attached to the seam of the inner wall of the housing 30 to wrap the seam, so as to prevent the water entering the housing 30 from splashing around when the housing 30 leaks during the test;

[0066] When leakage occurs, water that enters the shell 30 through the gap will enter the splash guard 52 for collection, and will flow into the receiving tube 532 through the connecting head 531, and finally contact the humidity card 533, causing the humidity card 533 to change color. When the test is completed, open the shell 30 and observe whether the humidity card 533 changes color, that is, it can be known whether the shell 30 is sealed. If it is not sealed, the specific leakage location can be known through the humidity card 533.

[0067] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The adapting unit 40 includes a mounting plate 41 and a pitch-changing assembly 42 mounted on the mounting plate 41, and a fitting assembly 43 is connected to the pitch-changing assembly 42 via a telescopic rod 425. The adapting unit 40 also includes an internally threaded vertical pipe 44 fixed at the four corners of the upper surface and the lower surface of the mounting plate 41, and the internal threads of the internally threaded vertical pipe 44 are connected to a threaded pillar 45, and a support plate 46 is fixed to one end of the threaded pillar 45;

[0068] After the adapter unit 40 is placed in the housing 30, the height of the mounting plate 41 is adjusted by rotating the threaded support 45 located on the lower surface of the mounting plate 41, so that the height of the splash-proof groove 52 at the middle position of the outer wall of the sealing ring 51 corresponds to the joint of the housing 30. Fig.10 As shown;

[0069] At this time, the threaded support 45 located on the upper surface of the mounting plate 41 is rotated again so that the support plate 46 at the top of the threaded support 45 can abut against the inner top wall of the shell 30 after the shell 30 is closed, thereby allowing the adapter unit 40 to be fixed inside the shell 30 after the shell 30 is closed.

[0070] like Figure 4 and Figure 6The pitch-changing assembly 42 includes a toothed disc 421 rotatably connected to the middle of the upper surface of the mounting disc 41, a motor 424 is fixed to the middle of the lower surface of the mounting disc 41, and the output end of the motor 424 is connected to the toothed disc 421. A power supply box is fixed to the lower surface of the mounting disc 41, and a battery 47 for powering the motor 424 is installed in the power supply box. Preferably, the motor 424 is a servo motor;

[0071] The upper surface of the mounting plate 41 is provided with a limit slide groove adapted to the telescopic rod 425, and the telescopic rod 425 is slidably assembled in the limit slide groove. The upper surface of the toothed plate 421 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 422, and guide posts 423 are inserted into the guide grooves 422, and the bottom ends of the guide posts 423 are fixed to the telescopic rod 425.

[0072] Two driven gears 428 meshing with the toothed disc 421 are fixedly sleeved on the winding and unwinding column 427, a guide rope 429 is wound around the middle of the outer surface of the winding and unwinding column 427, a second spring 436 is fixed to the other end of the extension rod 432, and the other end of the second spring 436 is fixed to the inner wall of the installation cavity;

[0073] A guide rope frame 48 is fixed on the side of the upper surface of the telescopic rod 425 away from the toothed disc 421 and on the outer wall of the mounting disc 41. Two guide rope columns are rotatably connected in the guide rope frame 48. One end of the guide rope 429 passes through the guide rope frame 48 and the middle rod 431 in sequence and enters the mounting cavity to be fixed with the extension rod 432. The guide rope 429 passes between the two guide rope columns, and the guide rope columns can guide the guide rope 429.

[0074] like Figure 8 and Fig.11 The fitting assembly 43 includes a middle rod 431 fixed to the telescopic rod 425, and two installation cavities are provided inside the middle rod 431. An extension rod 432 is inserted into the installation cavity. A side rod 433 is fixed to one end of the extension rod 432, and an installation cavity is provided on the outer wall of the extension rod 432;

[0075] A plurality of abutting blocks 434 are slidably connected in the installation cavity, a plurality of first springs 435 are fixed to a side wall of the installation cavity, and one end of the first spring 435 is fixed to the abutting block 434;

[0076] When the initial position of the sealing ring 51 does not match the inner cavity of the housing 30, after the position of the mounting plate 41 is adjusted according to the above operation steps, the motor 424 is started to drive the toothed plate 421 to rotate clockwise, and at this time, the telescopic rod 425 is driven to extend outward under the action of the guide groove 422, so that the fitting component 43 moves together, and at the same time, the toothed plate 421 drives the driven gear 428 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the winding column 427 gradually contacts the restraint of the guide rope 429;

[0077] At this time, under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 436 in a compressed state, the extension rod 432 is driven to gradually move outward from the middle rod 431. In the process of gradually moving out, driven by the elastic force of the first spring 435 in a compressed state, the abutting block 434 on the outer wall of the outwardly extending part of the outwardly extending rod 432 is extended outward and abuts against the sealing ring 51, thereby preventing the extended part from losing its abutting force on the sealing ring 51, ensuring that the sealing ring 51 can always maintain a close fit with the inner wall of the shell 30 after extension, and when the sealing ring 51 abuts against the inner wall of the shell 30, the motor 424 is turned off.

[0078] like Fig.11 An embedding groove is provided in the middle of the outer surface of the push block 434, a rolling column 437 is rotatably connected in the embedding groove, and an inclined surface 438 is formed at the edge of the outer wall of the push block 434;

[0079] When the extension rod 432 extends outward or moves inward, the rolling column 437 on its surface can roll the sealing ring 51 and cooperate with the inclined surface 438 to flatten the wrinkles that may appear when the sealing ring 51 shrinks after deformation.

[0080] Embodiment 2: as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 A plurality of adjusting studs 426 are threadedly provided at the edge of the upper surface of the mounting plate 41, and a retaining groove is provided inside the adjusting stud 426, and a winding and unwinding column 427 is rotatably connected in the retaining groove;

[0081] Specifically, when the sealing test of the rectangular housing 30 is required, the telescopic rod 425 is extended and retracted to match the length-width ratio of the four fitting components 43 with the rectangular housing 30 to be tested, and then the two adjusting screws 426 corresponding to one of the long sides are rotated to move the corresponding winding and unwinding column 427 upward, so that the driven gear 428 on its surface is out of meshing state with the toothed disc 421, and the driven gear 428 is no longer restricted at this time;

[0082] At this time, under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 436, the extension rod 432 is driven to gradually move outward from the middle rod 431 until the side rod 433 on the extension rod 432 abuts against the side rod 433 of the short side. During the gradual moving out process, driven by the elastic force of the first spring 435, the abutting block 434 on the outer wall of the outwardly extending portion of the outwardly extending rod 432 is extended outward and abuts against the sealing ring 51. At this time, the two adjusting screws 426 are rotated in the opposite direction to make the corresponding winding and unwinding rods 427 move downward and reset. At this time, the disengaged driven gear 428 is re-engaged with the toothed disc 421, and then the above operation is repeated to adjust the other long side.

[0083] After the adjustment is completed, the adapter unit 40 is placed in the housing 30, and then the threaded pillar 45 located on the lower surface of the mounting plate 41 is rotated to adjust the height of the mounting plate 41, so that the height of the splash-proof groove 52 at the middle position of the outer wall of the sealing ring 51 corresponds to the joint of the housing 30. At this time, the threaded pillar 45 located on the upper surface of the mounting plate 41 is rotated again, so that the support plate 46 at the top of the threaded pillar 45 can be against the inner top wall of the housing 30 after the housing 30 is closed, so that the adapter unit 40 can be fixed inside the housing 30 after the housing 30 is closed;

[0084] Then, the motor 424 is started to drive the toothed disc 421 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the telescopic rod 425 is driven to extend outward under the action of the guide groove 422, so that the fitting assembly 43 moves together. At the same time, the toothed disc 421 drives the driven gear 428 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the winding column 427 gradually contacts the guide rope 429.

[0085] At this time, under the elastic force of the second spring 436 in the compressed state, the extension rod 432 is driven to gradually move outward from the middle rod 431, and the motor 424 is turned off when the sealing ring 51 hits the inner wall of the housing 30;

[0086] At this time, the shell 30 is closed again, and then the shell 30 is sucked by the vacuum suction cup 22, and then the shell 30 is sent into the immersion tank 12 by the electric hydraulic rod 15 for a sealing test. After the test, it is taken out, and then the shell 30 is opened for observation to find out whether it is sealed and the leakage location.

[0087] Embodiment three: as Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a rotating joint 16 is fixed to one end of the electric hydraulic rod 15;

[0088] The rotating joint 16 includes a base 161, a limiting seat 162 is fixed to the base 161 by bolts, a ball joint 163 is assembled in the base 161 and the limiting seat 162, and the top of the ball joint 163 is fixed to one end of the electric hydraulic rod 15;

[0089] The front, back and both sides of the ball joint 163 are provided with a plurality of positioning screw holes, and the outer wall of the limiting seat 162 is threaded with a plurality of positioning bolts 164 adapted to the positioning screw holes, so that the ball joint 163 is fixed in the limiting seat 162 after rotation;

[0090] After the shell 30 with sealing problems is repaired, if the leakage position is only on one side, after the vacuum adsorption unit 20 adsorbs the repaired shell 30, the positioning bolt 164 is loosened to release the restriction on the ball joint 163, and then the shell 30 is rotated to tilt the side of the leakage position downward, and then the positioning bolt 164 is tightened to fix the position of the ball joint 163. In this state, when immersed in water, one side of the leakage position can be submerged in water for testing.

[0091] Specifically, when the battery pack shell detection device is working / in use:

[0092] First, place the shell 30 to be tested on the surface of the table 14, then open the shell 30 and place the adapter unit 40 in the inner cavity of the shell 30, and adjust the height of the mounting plate 41 by rotating the threaded pillar 45 located on the lower surface of the mounting plate 41, so that the height of the splash-proof groove 52 at the middle position of the outer wall of the sealing ring 51 corresponds to the joint of the shell 30, and then rotate the threaded pillar 45 located on the upper surface of the mounting plate 41, so that the support plate 46 at the top of the threaded pillar 45 can be against the inner top wall of the shell 30 after the shell 30 is closed, so that the adapter unit 40 can be fixed inside the shell 30 after the shell 30 is closed;

[0093] When the initial position of the sealing ring 51 does not match the inner cavity of the housing 30, the start motor 424 drives the toothed disc 421 to rotate clockwise, and at this time, the telescopic rod 425 is driven to extend outward under the action of the guide groove 422, so that the fitting component 43 moves together, and at the same time, the toothed disc 421 drives the driven gear 428 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the winding column 427 gradually contacts the restraint of the guide rope 429;

[0094] At this time, under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 436 in the compressed state, the extension rod 432 is driven to gradually move outward from the middle rod 431. In the process of gradually moving out, driven by the elastic force of the first spring 435 in the compressed state, the abutting block 434 on the outer wall of the outwardly extending portion of the outwardly extending rod 432 is extended outward and abuts against the sealing ring 51, ensuring that the sealing ring 51 can always keep a close fit with the inner wall of the shell 30 after extension. When the sealing ring 51 abuts against the inner wall of the shell 30, the motor 424 is turned off, and the shell 30 is closed at this time;

[0095] Then, the housing 30 is fixed by the vacuum adsorption unit 20. After fixation, the platform 14 is slid out to one side. At this time, the electric hydraulic rod 15 is started to drive the housing 30 to move downward and gradually immerse it in the immersion tank 12, so that the housing 30 is immersed in water. After a certain period of testing, the housing 30 is raised, and then the platform 14 is slid under the housing 30. At this time, the vacuum adsorption unit 20 is released from fixing the housing 30.

[0096] Then open the housing 30 and directly observe whether the humidity card 533 changes color, so as to accurately know whether it is sealed and the specific leakage point.

[0097] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
