[0015] Advantages of the present invention: In practical applications, multiple airtight detection heads and side pressure positioning mechanisms are in the detection position. There is a loading and unloading position on both sides of the detection position. The translation drive mechanism drives the switching slide seat together with the fixed clamping plate and two groups of clamping mechanisms to move horizontally back and forth, so that the two battery placement structures on the fixed clamping plate alternately move to the detection position. When one group of battery placement structures and one group of clamping mechanisms are in the detection position, the other group of battery placement structures and the other group of clamping mechanisms are in the loading and unloading position; a battery is placed in each of the multiple placement holes of the battery placement structure in the detection position, and the corresponding clamping mechanism clamps the multiple batteries in the battery placement structure. The side pressure end of the side pressure positioning mechanism laterally abuts against the side wall of the battery in the placement hole. Through the inner wall of the placement hole and the side pressure end of the side pressure positioning mechanism to block the battery, the front and rear positions of the battery in the placement hole are positioned to ensure the position accuracy and stability of the battery. Then, the lifting drive mechanism drives the lifting seat together with multiple airtight detection heads to descend until the multiple airtight detection heads respectively closely cover the liquid injection ports of the multiple batteries. Finally, the airtight detection device performs airtight detection on each battery respectively. Since one airtight detection head is connected to the airtight detection device through a trachea, it is possible to perform airtight detection on each battery independently at the same time; at the same time, the clamping mechanism in the loading and unloading position releases the battery in the placement hole of the corresponding battery placement structure. After the operator or an external machine takes away the detected battery, the battery to be detected is placed in the placement hole of the battery placement structure. After the battery to be detected is placed in the placement hole of the battery placement structure, the corresponding clamping mechanism clamps the battery. After the device completes the airtight detection of a group of batteries (multiple batteries), the translation drive mechanism drives the switching slide seat together with the fixed clamping plate and two groups of clamping mechanisms to translate, so that the battery placement structure carrying the batteries that have completed airtight detection moves to the loading and unloading position, and the battery placement structure carrying the batteries to be airtight detected moves to the detection position. The two battery placement structures alternately transport batteries to the detection position, greatly improving the efficiency of airtight detection of batteries; in addition, since the clamping mechanism and the side pressure positioning mechanism cooperate with each other to position the battery in the placement hole, the position accuracy of the battery is high, the stability is good, and it can meet the airtight detection of batteries of different specifications, with good versatility and strong practicability.

[0026] For the convenience of understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments and the accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the implementation manners does not limit the present invention.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 8As shown in the figure, a battery airtightness detection device provided by the present invention includes a machine table 1, a control box 2 installed on the machine table 1, a fixed seat 42 installed on the control box 2, a switching slide seat 43 horizontally slidably connected to the fixed seat 42, a translation drive mechanism 3 installed on the control box 2 or / and the fixed seat 42 and drivingly connected to the switching slide seat 43, a fixed clamping plate 4 provided on the top surface of the switching slide seat 43, two groups of clamping mechanisms 5 oppositely installed on the fixed seat 42, a side pressure positioning mechanism 6 installed on the control box 2 and located on the front side of the fixed seat 42, a mounting plate 7 located on the rear side of the fixed seat 42, a lifting seat 8 vertically slidably connected to the mounting plate 7, a lifting drive mechanism 9 installed on the mounting plate 7 and used to drive the lifting of the lifting seat 8, a plurality of airtightness detection heads 10 installed on the lifting seat 8, an airtightness detection device 11 installed on the machine table 1 or / and the control box 2, and a vacuum pumping device communicated with the airtightness detection device 11. One airtightness detection head 10 is communicated with the airtightness detection device 11 via a trachea. The side pressure positioning mechanism 6 is correspondingly arranged with the plurality of airtightness detection heads 10. The fixed clamping plate 4 is provided with two groups of battery placement structures 12 in the length direction. The two groups of clamping mechanisms 5 are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the two groups of battery placement structures 12. Each group of battery placement structures 12 includes a plurality of placement holes 13 recessed in the fixed clamping plate 4. The plurality of placement holes 13 are arranged along the length direction of the fixed clamping plate 4. The clamping mechanism 5 is used to clamp the battery in the placement hole 13 of the battery placement structure 12. The plurality of placement holes 13 of the battery placement structure 12 are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of airtightness detection heads 10. As the switching slide seat 43 reciprocates, the two groups of battery placement structures 12 alternately move below the plurality of airtightness detection heads 10.

[0028] In practical applications, multiple airtight detection heads 10 and the side pressure positioning mechanism 6 are in the detection position. There is a loading and unloading position on both sides of the detection position. The translation drive mechanism 3 drives the switching slider 43 to drive the fixed clamping plate 4 and the two groups of clamping mechanisms 5 to move horizontally back and forth, so that the two groups of battery placement structures 12 on the fixed clamping plate 4 alternately move to the detection position. When a group of battery placement structures 12 and a group of clamping mechanisms 5 are in the detection position, the other group of battery placement structures 12 and the other group of clamping mechanisms 5 are in the loading and unloading position; a battery is placed in each of the multiple placement holes 13 of the battery placement structure 12 in the detection position, and the corresponding clamping mechanism 5 clamps the multiple batteries in the battery placement structure 12. The side pressure end of the side pressure positioning mechanism 6 laterally abuts against the side wall of the battery in the placement hole 13. Through the blocking of the battery by the inner wall of the placement hole 13 and the side pressure end of the side pressure positioning mechanism 6, the front and rear positions of the battery in the placement hole 13 are positioned to ensure the position accuracy and stability of the battery. Then, the lifting drive mechanism 9 drives the lifting seat 8 to drive the multiple airtight detection heads 10 to descend until the multiple airtight detection heads 10 respectively tightly cover the liquid injection ports of the multiple batteries. Finally, the airtight detection device 11 performs airtight detection on each battery respectively. Since an airtight detection head 10 is connected to the airtight detection device 11 through a trachea, it can perform airtight detection on each battery independently at the same time; at the same time, the clamping mechanism 5 in the loading and unloading position releases the battery in the placement hole 13 of the corresponding battery placement structure 12. After the operator or an external machine takes away the detected battery, the battery to be detected is placed in the placement hole 13 of the battery placement structure 12. After the battery to be detected is placed in the placement hole 13 of the battery placement structure 12, the corresponding clamping mechanism 5 clamps the battery. After the equipment completes the airtight detection of a group of batteries (multiple batteries), the translation drive mechanism 3 drives the switching slider 43 to drive the fixed clamping plate 4 and the two groups of clamping mechanisms 5 to translate, so that the battery placement structure 12 carrying the batteries that have completed airtight detection moves to the loading and unloading position, and the battery placement structure 12 carrying the batteries to be airtight detected moves to the detection position. The two groups of battery placement structures 12 alternately transport the batteries to the detection position, greatly improving the efficiency of airtight detection of the batteries; in addition, since the clamping mechanism 5 and the side pressure positioning mechanism 6 cooperate to position the battery in the placement hole 13, the position accuracy of the battery is high, the stability is good, and it can meet the airtight detection of batteries of different specifications, with good versatility and strong practicability.

[0029] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 5 includes a clamping driver 14 installed on the switching slide 43 and / or the fixed clamping plate 4, and two translation plates 15 that are slidably arranged in an upper and lower stacked manner. The end portions of the two translation plates 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the two clamping ends of the clamping driver 14. The clamping driver 14 is used to drive the two translation plates 15 to reciprocate in opposite directions. The translation plates 15 are provided with a plurality of clamping blocks 16 in the length direction. The clamping blocks 16 of the two translation plates 15 are arranged at intervals on the same straight line. A clamping block 16 on one translation plate 15 cooperates with a clamping block 16 on the other translation plate 15 to clamp the battery in the placement hole 13. Specifically, the clamping driver 14 can adopt a finger cylinder.

[0030] In practical applications, after a plurality of batteries are respectively placed in the plurality of placement holes 13 of the battery placement structure 12, the clamping driver 14 of the corresponding clamping mechanism 5 drives the two translation plates 15 to move synchronously in opposite directions until the clamping blocks 16 of the two translation plates 15 cooperate to clamp the battery; when the detected battery moves to the loading and unloading position, the clamping driver 14 of the corresponding clamping mechanism 5 drives the two translation plates 15 to move synchronously in opposite directions until the clamping blocks 16 of the two translation plates 15 release the battery.

[0031] In this embodiment, the fixed clamping plate 4 is provided with a chute 17 that penetrates through the plurality of placement holes 13. The two translation plates 15 of each set of clamping mechanisms 5 are slidably arranged in the chute 17 in a stacked manner, and the clamping blocks 16 can extend into the placement holes 13. This structural design makes the structure of the fixed clamping plate 4 and the two translation plates 15 of the clamping mechanism 5 compact, and the chute 17 plays a guiding role in the translation of the two translation plates 15, improving the stability of the movement of the translation plates 15.

[0032] In this embodiment, limit members 18 are installed at both ends of the switching slide 43. The fixed seat 42 is located between the two limit members 18, and the limit members 18 are used to abut against the side wall of the fixed seat 42. The distance between the two limit members 18 is the translation stroke of the switching slide 43. During the reciprocating movement of the switching slide 43, the two limit members 18 play a limiting role, improving the position accuracy of the switching slide 43.

[0033] Specifically, the limit member 18 includes a side plate installed at the end of the switching slide 43 and a limit bolt that threadedly penetrates the side plate. Since the positions of the liquid injection ports of batteries of different specifications will deviate, by screwing the limit bolt, the limit bolt is screwed in or out to change the effective length of the limit of the limit bolt, thereby changing the size of the translation stroke of the switching slide 43.

[0034] In this embodiment, the side pressing and positioning mechanism 6 includes a telescopic driver 19, a swing plate 20 and a pressing plate 21. The telescopic driver 19 is arranged obliquely upward. One end of the telescopic driver 19 is hinged to the control box 2, and the other end of the telescopic driver 19 is hinged to the middle of the swing plate 20. The bottom end of the swing plate 20 is hinged to the control box 2. The pressing plate 21 is arranged at the top end of the swing plate 20, and the pressing plate 21 is movably arranged on the front side of the fixed clamping plate 4. Specifically, the telescopic driver 19 can adopt a cylinder.

[0035] In practical applications, when the telescopic end of the telescopic driver 19 extends, the telescopic driver 19 drives the swing plate 20 to swing outwards, and the swing plate 20 drives the pressing plate 21 to swing outwards together; when the telescopic end of the telescopic driver 19 retracts, the telescopic driver 19 drives the swing plate 20 to swing inwards, and the swing plate 20 drives the pressing plate 21 to swing inwards until the pressing plate 21 abuts against the battery in the placement hole 13 and realizes the positioning of the front and back positions of the battery.

[0036] Specifically, a cushion 41 is arranged at the pressing edge of the pressing plate 21, and the cushion 41 plays a role of buffering and protecting to avoid damaging the battery by pressing.

[0037] In this embodiment, the side pressing and positioning mechanism 6 further includes an elastic buffer assembly 22. The pressing plate 21 is convexly provided with a rotating ear, and the rotating ear is rotatably connected to the top end of the swing plate 20. One end of the elastic buffer assembly 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the swing plate 20, and the other end of the elastic buffer assembly 22 is connected to the middle of the pressing plate 21. During the process of the pressing plate 21 abutting against the battery, when the pressure of the pressing plate 21 is too large or there are tolerances in the specifications of the battery, the pressing plate 21 can rotate downward relative to the swing plate 20 and compress the elastic buffer assembly 22, so that the pressing plate 21 is in elastic contact with the battery, avoiding hard contact between the pressing plate 21 and the battery and damaging the battery; of course, the cushion 41 can also be replaced by a rotating roller, and the rotating roller is rotatably connected to the pressing edge of the pressing plate 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, the elastic buffer assembly 22 includes an adjusting bolt 23, a fixing block 24 and a spring 25. A through hole 26 is formed in the middle of the pressing plate 21. The stud of the adjusting bolt 23 passes through the through hole 26 and is threadedly connected to the fixing block 24. The fixing block 24 is installed on the side wall of the swing plate 20. The spring 25 is sleeved outside the stud of the adjusting bolt 23, and the two ends of the spring 25 are elastically abutted against the pressing plate 21 and the fixing block 24 respectively.

[0039] In practical applications, by screwing the adjusting bolt 23, the angle of the pressing plate 21 can be adjusted, so that the position where the pressing plate 21 abuts against the battery can be adjusted to meet the lateral positioning of batteries with different specifications; and when the pressing plate 21 is subjected to the downward extrusion force of the battery, the pressing plate 21 can rotate downward relative to the swing plate 20 and compress the spring 25, playing a certain role of buffer protection.

[0040] Specifically, the via hole 26 is a countersunk hole, and the nut of the adjusting bolt 23 is accommodated in the countersunk hole, with a compact structure and beautiful appearance, avoiding the exposure of the nut of the adjusting bolt 23.

[0041] In this embodiment, the airtight detection head 10 includes a suction cup 27, a connecting member 28, a sealing ring 29, and a locking plate 30. The lifting seat 8 is coaxially provided with an embedding hole 31, a through hole 32, and a mounting hole 33 from top to bottom. The bottom end of the connecting member 28 is communicatively provided with a straight pipe 34. The top of the suction cup 27 is inserted into the mounting hole 33. The connecting member 28 is embedded in the embedding hole 31. The straight pipe 34 passes through the through hole 32 and then is inserted into the central hole of the suction cup 27. The locking plate 30 is installed on the lifting seat 8 and is used to limit the connecting member 28 in the embedding hole 31. The sealing ring 29 is disposed between the locking plate 30 and the top end surface of the connecting member 28. The sealing ring 29 is arranged around the top port of the connecting member 28. The sealing ring 29 can seal the connection between the locking plate 30 and the connecting member 28. The locking plate 30 is provided with an insertion hole 35 communicating with the connecting member 28. One end of the air pipe is inserted into the insertion hole 35. The peripheral wall of the straight pipe 34 is in close contact with the inner wall of the central hole of the suction cup 27.

[0042] In practical applications, the lifting drive mechanism 9 drives the lifting seat 8 to drive the airtight detection head 10 to descend until the suction cup 27 descends to be in close contact with the top surface of the battery, and the suction holes of the suction cup 27 are hermetically communicated with the liquid injection ports of the battery. The airtight detection device 11 performs airtight detection on the battery via the air pipe, the connecting member 28, the straight pipe 34, and the suction cup 27. Among them, the straight pipe 34 can strengthen the strength of the suction cup 27, avoid the suction cup 27 from being bent by the extrusion force, and ensure the air path connection. In addition, the airtight detection head 10 designed with this structure realizes modular assembly, and is convenient for disassembly, installation, and maintenance.

[0043] In this embodiment, the airtight detection device 11 includes a frame 36 installed on the machine table 1 or / and the control box 2, a housing 37 installed on the frame 36, a plurality of vacuum gauges 38 embedded on the outer surface of the housing 37, and a plurality of vacuum valves 39 installed in the housing 37. The plurality of vacuum valves 39, the plurality of airtight detection heads 10, and the plurality of vacuum gauges 38 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. One vacuum gauge 38 is communicated with an air pipe via one vacuum valve 39. The vacuum gauge 38 and the air pipe are in a normally open state via the vacuum valve 39. One vacuum valve 39 is communicated with an airtight detection head 10 via an air pipe. The frame 36 or the housing 37 is provided with a vacuum pumping device, and all the vacuum valves 39 are communicated with the vacuum pumping device; specifically, the vacuum gauge 38 is a digital display vacuum gauge.

[0044] In practical applications, the vacuum valve 39 is opened, and the vacuum pumping device evacuates the battery through the vacuum valve 39, the air pipe and the airtight detection head 10, so that the vacuum degree of the battery reaches a preset value. Then, the vacuum valve 39 is closed to cut off the connection between the vacuum pumping device and the vacuum valve 39. At this time, observe whether the vacuum degree value displayed by the vacuum gauge 38 changes. When the vacuum degree displayed by the vacuum gauge 38 decreases, it proves that the battery leaks air, that is, the airtightness of the battery is unqualified; when the vacuum degree displayed by the vacuum gauge 38 remains unchanged, it proves that the airtightness of the battery is qualified. One vacuum gauge 38 corresponds to one battery, and the airtightness of each battery can be independently detected.

[0045] In this embodiment, the airtight detection device 11 further includes a plurality of indicator lights 40 embedded on the outer surface of the outer cover 37, and the plurality of indicator lights 40 are respectively electrically connected to the plurality of vacuum gauges 38 in one-to-one correspondence. When the vacuum degree displayed by the vacuum gauge 38 decreases, the corresponding indicator light 40 lights up red, and when the vacuum degree displayed by the vacuum gauge 38 remains unchanged, the corresponding indicator light 40 lights up green; this structural design facilitates the operator to quickly identify which battery has qualified airtightness and which battery has unqualified airtightness.

[0046] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0047] The above embodiments are the preferred implementation solutions of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the technical solution of the present invention is within the protection scope of the present invention.
