DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] 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.

[0017] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present invention provides an automatic air tightness detection device for a battery pack, the device includes a clamping and positioning component 2 arranged on a feeding unit 1, and a detection unit located on one side of the feeding unit 1, the detection unit includes a measuring part 3, an adjusting part, a driving part 4, a control terminal and an air tightness detector 6, wherein the control terminal is respectively connected to the clamping and positioning component 2, the measuring part 3, the adjusting part, the driving part 4 and the air tightness detector 6; the measuring part 3 is used for the feeding unit 1 to transport the battery pack 5 to be tested to a preset station and obtain the current position of the charging and discharging connector of the battery pack 5 to be tested after being clamped and fixed by the clamping and positioning component 2, and then upload it to the control terminal; the adjusting part is arranged on one side of the charging and discharging connector close to the battery pack 5 to be tested, and the output end of the adjusting part is equipped with a detection connector, the control terminal calculates the adjustment parameters between the initial position and the target position of the detection connector based on a preset adjustment rule, and controls the adjusting part to adjust the initial position of the detection connector to the target position according to the adjustment parameters; The preset adjustment rule is that the target position of the detection connector is based on the current position of the charging and discharging connector of the battery pack 5 to be tested, and the detection connector moves at the target position according to the preset motion trajectory and then cooperates with the charging and discharging connector of the battery pack 5 to be tested; an adjustment member is installed at the output end of the driving member 4, so that when the adjustment member adjusts the initial position of the detection connector to the target position, the control terminal controls the adjustment member to move according to the preset motion trajectory, so that the detection connector cooperates with the charging and discharging connector of the battery pack 5 to be tested; the air inlet and outlet ends of the air tightness tester 6 are respectively connected to the detection connector through pipelines, so that the air tightness test is performed on the battery pack 5 to be tested when the detection connector cooperates with the charging and discharging connector of the battery pack 5 to be tested, and the test range is 0-0.6MPa; and the air intake volume is controlled according to the preset control rule to simulate the air tightness test environment of different working conditions; the preset control rule is to load the air tightness test environment of different working conditions according to the test requirements of the battery pack 5 to be tested.

[0018] In this embodiment, when detecting the critical value of the battery pack 5 to be tested, the preset control rule is that the airtightness tester 6 adjusts the test pressure to the critical value of the battery pack 5 to be tested (such as 0.5MPa) and performs a voltage stabilization test within a preset time period to output the current test result, and judge whether the current test result is consistent with the critical value of the battery pack 5 to be tested; if they are consistent, the airtightness of the battery pack 5 to be tested is good; if they are inconsistent, the airtightness of the battery pack 5 to be tested is damaged; at this time, the tester can judge whether the difference between the current test result and the critical value of the battery pack 5 to be tested exceeds the preset detection threshold. Measure the detection status of the battery pack 5; if it exceeds the preset detection threshold, it means that the airtightness of the battery pack 5 to be tested is seriously damaged and needs to be reworked; if it does not exceed the preset detection threshold, it means that the airtightness of the battery pack 5 to be tested is generally damaged, which may be caused by pipeline leakage or damage to the detection connector and incomplete fit. At this time, check whether the detection status of two or more adjacent battery packs 5 to be tested are all generally damaged in airtightness. If so, it is necessary to check the pipeline and the detection connector; if not, it is necessary to rework the battery pack 5 to be tested, so as to eliminate equipment failure and reduce the rework rate.

[0019] In the above, the preset control rule is that the number of detection times and detection paths can be arbitrarily set when detecting the critical value of each battery pack 5 to be tested; such as one critical value detection, multiple interval critical value detection, and fluctuation detection within the preset test pressure range, etc.; wherein, multiple interval critical value detection is set to divide the current detection cycle into multiple continuous detection intervals, and the same test pressure or different test pressures are used in any two or more detection intervals to detect the air tightness of the battery pack 5 to be tested; the fluctuation detection within the preset test pressure range is set to perform cyclic reciprocating detection from small to large or from large to small according to the preset test pressure range within the current detection cycle. In this way, the air tightness detection environment under different working conditions is simulated to detect the corresponding critical value of the battery pack 5 to be tested, thereby improving the applicability of the equipment.

[0020] In the above, when the test is completed, the control terminal first controls the air tightness tester 6 to release the pressure of the test joint, then controls the driver 4 to reset so that the test joint is disengaged from the charging and discharging joint of the battery pack 5 to be tested, and finally controls the clamping and positioning assembly 2 to release the battery pack that has been tested, so that the feeding unit 1 can transport the next group of battery packs 5 to be tested to the preset station for the next batch of air tightness testing. In order to accurately realize the automatic loading and unloading of the battery pack 5 to be tested, the start and stop of the feeding unit 1 can be controlled by the control terminal.

[0021] In the above, by designing the measuring part 3 and the adjusting part, the target position of the detection joint is adaptively calibrated according to the current position of the charging and discharging joint of the battery pack 5 to be tested, so as to ensure the accurate docking of the detection joint with the charging and discharging joint of the battery pack 5 to be tested, which can not only reduce the labor intensity and save the production cost, but also significantly improve the service life of the joint and the speed and accuracy of the sealing test of the battery pack 5 (plug box) to be tested, so as to shorten the test cycle of a single sample and reduce the misjudgment rate; and the equipment is not only suitable for the gas sealing test of the battery pack 5 to be tested of different standard models, but also suitable for the battery pack 5 to be tested of non-standard structure, and has wide applicability and strong compatibility.
