Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new energy vehicle power batteries, and in particular to a new energy vehicle battery pack scratch detection device. Background Art

[0002] New energy vehicles are vehicles that use unconventional automotive fuels as their power source, including pure electric, hybrid, fuel cell electric and other categories. The bottom of the power battery of pure electric vehicles is extremely vulnerable to impact and scratches. At the same time, the damage caused by the bottom is hidden. Even in some accidents, although there was no short circuit and fire at the time, the subsequent safety cannot be guaranteed. In order to further verify the safety status of the battery after the bottom of the power battery of a pure electric vehicle is scratched by foreign objects, it is necessary to develop a new energy vehicle power battery scratch test device.

[0003] There is a scratch test device currently, which is horizontally provided with a traction device and a scratch head. The battery pack is placed above the scratch head, and the scratch head is towed by the traction device to realize the scratch simulation of the battery pack. This device replaces the vehicle-level battery pack scratch test and reduces the test cost of the scratch test. However, the speed of the scratch needs to be adjusted during the experiment, and the existing devices are difficult to simulate different impact speeds, and the use of complex structures or high-power equipment greatly increases the test cost. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a new energy vehicle battery pack scratch detection device to solve the problem that the existing devices are difficult to simulate different impact speeds.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a new energy vehicle battery pack scratch detection device, comprising a detection frame arranged in a vertical direction, a battery pack mounting frame being vertically arranged on one side below the detection frame, and a lifting assembly and a drop frame being arranged above the detection frame, the lifting assembly being used to lift the drop frame, and causing the drop frame to perform free fall motion after being lifted to a predetermined height, and a replaceable detection head being arranged on the drop frame.

[0006] Principle of the technical solution: the battery pack mounting frame is used to install and fix the battery pack, the detection head on the drop frame is used to impact or scratch the battery pack to simulate the collision effect during driving, the detection head is replaceable, and selecting detection heads of different shapes and sizes can improve the authenticity of the detection effect. When in use, the height of the drop frame is lifted by the lifting assembly, and the connection with the drop frame is released after it is lifted to a predetermined height, so that the drop frame performs free fall motion, and the falling stroke of the battery pack is changed by lifting to different heights, thereby changing the speed at the time of impact. Compared with the prior art, the present invention accelerates the detection head through gravity, replacing the existing traction device, changing the speed at the time of impact according to different heights, and can effectively increase the speed of the impact head and the battery pack at the time of impact, making the simulated detection more realistic.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the transverse track is lower than the lowest point of the battery pack mounting frame, a traction motor is arranged on the transverse seat, a second wire roller is fixed on the output shaft of the traction motor, an elastic rope is arranged on the second wire roller, one end of the elastic rope is wound around the second wire roller, and the other end is connected to the lower end of the drop frame.

[0012] Beneficial effect: the transverse track is lower than the lowest point of the battery pack mounting frame, that is, located on the lower side of the battery pack mounting frame. The traction motor is used to drive the second wire roller to rotate, and then wind up the elastic rope. When the drop frame is lifted to the upper end, the traction motor is started to wind up the elastic rope, which will stretch the elastic rope. When the drop frame is released, it will be subject to the tension of the elastic rope rebound, further increasing the acceleration during falling, and increasing the speed when hitting the battery pack, thereby simulating a high-speed impact scenario.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limit frame includes a frame fixedly connected to the support frame, a roller for placing the pull rope is rotatably arranged in the frame, support rods extend from both sides of the frame, and the support rods are placed on the detection frame.

[0016] Beneficial effect: The frame and the roller are used to limit the pull rope so that it can move laterally. The roller has the ability to rotate, which can prevent the pull rope from breaking due to friction when it is released or reeled up. The support rod extends from the frame and is placed on the detection frame.

[0032] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a new energy vehicle battery pack scratch detection device: comprising a detection frame 1 arranged along the vertical direction, a battery pack mounting frame 2 is vertically arranged on one side below the detection frame 1, and an adjustment member 15 is arranged between the detection frame 1 and the battery pack mounting frame 2, which is used to adjust the distance between the battery pack mounting frame 2 and the detection frame 1; the battery pack mounting frame 2 is provided with a mounting hole, which is used to install and fix the battery pack so that it is inverted on the side of the detection frame 1, and the adjustment member 15 can be in the form of a hydraulic rod, an electric push rod, a screw, etc.

[0033] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, a lifting component 3 and a falling frame 4 are arranged above the detection frame 1, the lifting component 3 is used to lift the falling frame 4, and after lifting to a predetermined height, the falling frame 4 is made to perform free fall motion, and a replaceable detection head 5 is arranged on the falling frame 4, the lifting component 3 includes a lifting motor 3-1 fixed above the detection frame 1, a first wire roller 3-2 is fixed on the output shaft of the lifting motor 3-1, a pull rope 3-3 is arranged on the first wire roller 3-2, one end of the pull rope 3-3 is wound around the wire roller 3-2, and the other end is connected to the upper end of the falling frame 4; the detection head 5 on the falling frame 4 The head 5 is used to hit or scratch the battery pack to simulate the collision effect during driving. The detection head 5 is replaceable. Selecting detection heads 5 of different shapes and sizes can improve the authenticity of the detection effect. When in use, the first wire roller 3-2 is driven to rotate by the lifting motor 3-1, and then the pull rope 3-3 is wound to lift the drop frame 4 upward to achieve the effect of automatic height adjustment. By lifting to different heights, the falling stroke of the battery pack is changed, and then the speed at the time of impact is changed. Compared with the prior art, the present invention accelerates the detection head 5 through gravity, replaces the existing traction device, and increases the speed when colliding with the battery pack, making the simulated detection more realistic.

[0034] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a trigger component 16 is provided between the pull rope 3-3 and the drop frame 4, and the trigger component 16 is used to automatically release the drop frame 4. The trigger component 16 can be, for example, an electromagnet, a remote control lock, etc., and is released by remote control when it is lifted to a predetermined height.

[0035] As attached Figure 1 ~Attached Figure 3As shown, in the present embodiment, the detection frame 1 is provided with a transverse track 6 on one side of the battery pack mounting frame 2, a transverse seat 7 which can slide horizontally is provided in the transverse track 6, two support frames 9 are provided on the transverse seat 7, and limit frames 8 are provided on the two support frames, the limit frames 8 are higher than the highest point of the detection frame 1, the limit frames 8 are surrounded on the outside of the pull rope 3-3, and limit fork rods 13 are fixed on both sides of the drop frame 4, and the two limit fork rods 13 are respectively located on both sides of the two support frames 9; the transverse track 6 is used to install the transverse seat 7 and limit its moving direction, the support frame 9 on the transverse seat 7 is used to connect the limit frame 8, and the limit frame 8 is used to limit the pull rope 3-3, so that the transverse seat 7 drives the pull rope 3-3 when moving. The rope 3-3 moves, and then the drop frame 4 follows the movement, adjusts the position of the battery pack being hit, and realizes the impact simulation of different positions. When in use, the lifting motor 3-1 is first used to reel in the pull rope 3-3 to raise the height, and then the transverse seat 7 is moved. At this time, the part of the pull rope 3-3 located on the upper side of the limit frame 8 is inclined, while the part located on the lower side of the limit frame 8 is still vertical, which can avoid changing the angle of the detection head 5; the limiting fork rod 13 can allow the drop frame 4 to maintain a vertical direction when falling and avoid popping out after hitting the battery pack to injure the detection personnel; at the same time, the support frame 9 has the effect of simulating the ground, and horizontally limits the drop frame 4, so that the detection head 5 and the battery pack will not rebound to the side of the detection frame 1 to unload the force when colliding, simulating a real impact scene.

[0036] As attached Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the limit frame 8 includes a frame 8-1 fixedly connected to the support frame 9, and a roller 8-2 for placing the pull rope 3-3 is rotatably arranged in the frame 8-1. Support rods 8-3 extend from both sides of the frame 8-1, and the support rods 8-3 are placed on the detection frame 1.

Without affecting the lateral movement, the stability of the support frame 9 can be improved, making it more stable during collision.

[0037] As attached Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a buffer pad 14 is provided on the two support frames 9. The buffer pad 14 is lower than the battery pack mounting frame 2 and is used to receive the falling falling frame 4 to buffer its falling potential energy and avoid directly hitting the traction motor 10 to damage it.

[0038] As attached Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, a traction motor 10 is provided on the transverse shift seat 7, and a second wire roller 11 is fixed on the output shaft of the traction motor 10, and an elastic rope 12 is provided on the second wire roller 11, one end of the elastic rope 12 is wound around the second wire roller 11, and the other end is connected to the lower end of the drop frame 4; the traction motor 10 is used to drive the second wire roller 11 to rotate, and then wind up the elastic rope 12. When the drop frame 4 is lifted to the upper end, the traction motor 10 is started to wind up the elastic rope 12, which will stretch the elastic rope 12. When the drop frame 4 is released, it will rebound due to the elastic rope 12. The pulling force can further increase the acceleration during falling and the speed when hitting the battery pack, so as to realize the simulation of high-speed impact. At the same time, after the impact, the traction motor 10 can continue to reel in the elastic rope 12 to pull the drop frame 4 downward to realize the scratch test. During the specific detection, multiple control groups can be set, and the relative distance between the battery pack and the detection head 5 can be adjusted by the adjustment member 15 to realize three conditions of only impact, only scratch, and impact and scratch respectively. By lifting to different heights, the speed at which the detection head 5 contacts the battery pack is changed, and then the conditions of each battery pack are observed and detected, so as to realize the simulation detection of the battery pack.

[0039] When the device of the present invention is used to detect the impact and scratch of the new energy battery pack, the battery pack is first vertically installed on the battery pack mounting plate, and then the detection head 5 is installed on the drop frame 4, and the lifting motor 3-1 is started to lift the height of the drop frame 4. The lifting height and whether to start the traction motor 10 to increase the pulling force are calculated according to the designed impact speed. After reaching the predetermined height, the drop frame 4 is released to fall, and the acceleration is achieved during the falling process, so that it has a higher speed when it hits the battery pack, thereby achieving the effect of simulating the high-speed operation of the car; in the present invention, the drop frame 4 is lifted to the highest point and the traction motor 10 is started, so that the drop frame 4 is subjected to the tension of the elastic rope 12 when released. The combined effect of the two allows the detection head 5 to have a higher speed when it hits, simulating the state of a high-speed running car, and increasing the authenticity of the simulated detection; at the same time, the present invention cancels the whole vehicle detection and uses a low-power motor to simulate the high-speed impact scenario, has a simple structure, and has a low detection cost, and can simulate the high-speed impact and scratch of the battery pack.
