[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following will further describe in detail the disclosed implementation manners of this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] This application embodiment discloses a shrapnel elastic force test device for a battery pack, as Figure 1 shown, which includes a fixed platform 1, a sliding platform 2, a slide bar group 3, a linear sliding bearing group 4, a pressure transfer plate 5, a pressure sensor 6, a deformation adaptation structure 7, a fixed curvature surface structure 9, a shrapnel sample test installation clip 8, and a laser displacement probe 10.

[0036] The sliding platform 2 is installed above the fixed platform 1 and can slide vertically up and down relative to the fixed platform 1. The slide bar group 3 is installed on the fixed platform 1, and the linear sliding bearing group 4 is installed on the sliding platform 2. The slide bar group 3 passes through the matching linear sliding bearing group 4. The pressure transfer plate 5 is installed above the sliding platform 2 to achieve connection with the force application device. The pressure sensor 6 is installed between the pressure transfer plate 5 and the sliding platform 2 to measure the applied pressure. The deformation adaptation structure 7 is installed between the sliding platform 2 and the fixed platform 1 and fixed on the sliding platform 2. The fixed curvature surface structure 9 is installed between the deformation adaptation structure 7 and the fixed platform 1 and fixed on the fixed platform 1. The fixed curvature surface structure 9 is exactly aligned with the deformation adaptation structure 7. The four symmetric cylindrical heads of the shrapnel sample test installation clip 8 are installed in the four symmetric racetrack-shaped holes of the deformation adaptation structure 7. When the shrapnel sample expands, the left and right cylindrical heads are outside the racetrack holes. When the shrapnel sample deforms, the left and right cylindrical heads translate inward to the racetrack holes. The laser displacement probe 10 is fixedly installed on the fixed platform 1 to measure the distance between the fixed platform 1 and the sliding platform 2, and this displacement is the deflection of the shrapnel after being stressed and bent.

[0037] As Figure 2As shown, the fixed curvature surface structure 9 is symmetrically and uniformly distributed left and right, including a base 901, a deformed top arc surface 902, and an indented side space 903. The base 901 is fixedly connected to the fixed platform 1. The deformed top arc surface 902 is arranged directly above the base 901. The indented side space 903 is arranged on both sides of the base 901 and the deformed top arc surface 902 structure. The indented side space 903 should at least satisfy R1 - R2 ≥ D3 and d3 ≥ 180 - 90L1 / ΠR1. Wherein, R1 is the radius of the deformed top arc surface 902, R2 is the bottom radius of the indented side space 903, and d3 is the angle of the indented side space range; D3 is the depth of the second blank area 8025, see Figure 6 ; L1 is the length of the exposed area of the shrapnel-like part between the two cylinders 8021 on the same side, see Figure 7 . Thus, the space accommodation of the mounting seat 802 after the extreme deformation of the shrapnel is realized, and further, the free extension state of the test end of the shrapnel-like part is always maintained during the deformation process.

[0038] As Figure 3 shown, the deformation adaptation structure 7 includes a body 701, a runway hole 702, and an observation groove 703. The body 701 constitutes the main body of the deformation adaptation structure 7. There are 2 runway holes 702, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the body 701; the runway hole 702 is a waist-shaped hole, and the waist-shaped hole includes a long straight hole in the middle and semi-circular arcs at both ends of the long straight hole. The distance between the centers of the semi-circular arcs at the closer ends of the two runway holes 702 is L1 - 2, and it should satisfy L1 - 2 ≤ 2R3·cos(d3). The distance between the centers of the semi-circular arcs at the farther ends of the two runway holes 702 is L1 - 1, and it should satisfy L1 - 1 ≥ L1. The diameter of the semi-circular arc is D4 (that is, the maximum width of the runway hole 702 is D4). The observation groove 703 is a cut-out area, which is arranged in the middle of the two runway holes 702 to realize the observation of the elastic deformation process of the shrapnel-like part during the deformation process.

[0039] As Figure 4 shown, the shrapnel-like part test mounting clip 8 includes a tested shrapnel-like part 801, a mounting seat 802, and a mounting piece 803. Two mounting seats 802 are installed at both ends of the tested shrapnel-like part 801, and the mounting piece 803 cooperates with the mounting seat 802 to clamp the shrapnel-like part 801 in the middle.

[0040] As Figure 5 shown, the shrapnel-like part 801 includes a shrapnel-like part body 8011 and shrapnel-like part mounting holes 8012. The shrapnel-like part mounting holes 8012 are 8 holes that are symmetrically installed left and right and up and down, and there are 4 holes on each side of the shrapnel-like part body 8011.

[0041] As Figure 6As shown, the mounting base 802 includes a cylinder 8021, a mounting surface 8022, mounting holes 8023, a first blank area 8024, and a second blank area 8025. The cylinders 8021 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the mounting base 802 and are symmetrically inserted into the runway holes 702 of the two deformation adaptation structures 7 and are allowed to rotate freely. The mounting surface 8022 contacts the shrapnel sample 801. The mounting holes 8023 are evenly distributed on the mounting surface 8022 to fix the shrapnel sample 801. The mounting holes 8023, the shrapnel sample mounting holes 8012, and the mounting piece 803 are bolted together to fix the shrapnel sample 801. The first blank area 8024 is the area cut after the two cylinders 8021. The plane formed by cutting the first blank area 8024 is perpendicular to the mounting surface 8022, and the intersection line of the plane formed by cutting the first blank area 8024 and the mounting surface 8022 is nearly coincident with the axis of the cylinder 8021, so that when the cylinder 8021 is passively rotated following the deformation of the shrapnel sample 801, it will not cause lateral torsional deformation to the shrapnel sample 801. The second blank area 8025 is the installation area of the shrapnel sample and the mounting piece 803. The diameter of the cylinder 8021 is D1, and the radius of the cylinder 8021 is D2. The thickness of the mounting base 802 is equal to the diameter of the cylinder 8021, and the two surfaces in the thickness direction of the mounting base 802 are tangent to the circumferential direction of the cylinder 8021. Under this condition, the depth D3 of the second blank area 8025 = D2, ensuring that the intersection line of the bottom surface of the first blank area and the mounting surface (8022) is collinear with the axis of the cylinder (8021). D1≤D4; D2 = D1 / 2. The distance between the two cylinders 8021 is S3, and the width of the shrapnel sample is S2, S3>S2.

[0042] As Figure 7 shown, L1 is the effective test length of the sample, and L2 is the total length of the sample and the fixture. That is: after the two ends of the shrapnel sample 801 are respectively installed on the mounting base 802 and the shrapnel sample

[801] is in the natural state, the distance between the bottom surfaces of the first blank areas of the two mounting bases 802 is L1, and the distance between the far ends of the two mounting bases 802 is L2.

[0043] The steps for using this application to perform detection are as follows: install the shrapnel sample 801 on the clamping piece, connect the pressure transfer plate 5 to the force application device, and the force application device drives the pressure transfer plate 5 to press down, while detecting the displacement and pressure of the sliding platform 2; when reaching the pressure mutation position, the mounting base 802 is clamped into the sunken side space 903, and at this time, the sliding platform 2 stops displacement.

[0044] The specific test method for the shrapnel is as follows:

[0045] 1) Perform extrusion tests on semi-cylindrical structures with different fixed curvatures to check whether the sample breaks and determine the minimum bending radius of the shrapnel sample;

[0046] 2) Set the radius R1 of the fixed curvature surface structure 9 equal to the minimum bending radius of the shrapnel sample;

[0047] 3) Place the tested sample in the device;

[0048] 4) Start the device to detect the relationship between the displacement and the pressure;

[0049] 5) Detect the corresponding deformation value at the moment when the pressure of the sample undergoes a sudden change. This deformation value is the maximum allowable displacement deformation HM of the sample;

[0050] 6) Set the extrusion speed of the device to HM / C 充 , the pressure holding time is 1 - 3 h, the recovery speed is HM / C 放 , the holding time after recovery is 1 - 3 h, the maximum displacement is HM, where C 充 is the charging rate of the high expansion battery pack, and C 放 is the discharging rate of the high expansion battery pack.

[0051] 7) Use a new shrapnel sample 801 to perform a reciprocating cyclic deformation test according to step 6), and then test the fatigue performance of the sample until the current elastic coefficient is 80% of the initial elastic coefficient, and then stop the test; where the initial elastic coefficient is the elastic coefficient of the new shrapnel sample 801 measured at the set height of the sliding platform 2 during the first cyclic deformation test, and the current elastic coefficient is the elastic coefficient of the new shrapnel sample 801 measured at the set height of the sliding platform 2 during the current cyclic deformation test. The elastic coefficient = the pressure measured at the set height of the sliding platform 2 / the displacement.

However, these descriptions should not be construed as limiting this application. Those skilled in the art understand that without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, various equivalent replacements, modifications, or improvements can be made to the technical solutions and their implementation manners of this application, and these all fall within the scope of this application.

Use a semi-cylindrical structure with a fixed curvature that increases from small to large to perform extrusion tests on a shrapnel piece in sequence until cracks appear on the shrapnel piece. At this time, the fixed curvature is the minimum bending radius of the shrapnel piece; the shrapnel piece is the same as the shrapnel sample (801) to be tested. S2. Set the radius R1 of the deformation top arc surface (902) to be equal to the minimum bending radius of the shrapnel piece. S3. Install the shrapnel sample (801) to be tested on the clamping piece. S4. Connect the pressure transfer plate (5) to the force application device, and the force application device drives the pressure transfer plate (5) and the sliding platform (2) to press down from the initial position. At the same time, detect the displacement and pressure of the sliding platform (2). S5. Until reaching the pressure mutation position, stop the displacement of the sliding platform (2). At this time, the allowable maximum displacement deformation amount HM of the shrapnel sample (801) is the displacement of the sliding platform (2) from the initial position to the position where the displacement stops. S6. Set the extrusion speed to HM / C 充 , the holding pressure time is 1 - 3 h, and the recovery speed is HM / C 放 , the maintaining time after recovery is 1 - 3 h, and the maximum displacement is HM, where C 充 is the charging rate, and C 放 is the discharging rate; S7. Use a new shrapnel sample (801) as the pressing condition of the sliding platform (2) according to the conditions of S6, and perform reciprocating cyclic deformation tests according to steps S1 - S5. Then test the fatigue performance of the new shrapnel sample (801) until the current elastic coefficient is 80% of the initial elastic coefficient and then stop the test; where the initial elastic coefficient is the elastic coefficient of the new shrapnel sample (801) measured at the set height of the sliding platform (2) during the first cyclic deformation test, and the current elastic coefficient is the elastic coefficient of the new shrapnel sample (801) measured at the set height of the sliding platform (2) during the current cyclic deformation test; the elastic coefficient = pressure measured at the set height of the sliding platform (2) / displacement amount.
