Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery testing technology, and more specifically to a battery impact testing device. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles are an important type of automobile, and the power battery is a core component of new energy vehicles. During normal driving, the power battery is frequently subjected to impacts from protruding objects on the ground, such as curbs, manhole covers, bricks, and roadblocks. These impacts can easily cause the battery to catch fire. To verify the battery's safety performance under these conditions, battery manufacturers and vehicle OEMs conduct simulated bottom impact tests during development. Existing bottom impact fixtures are fixed on a track, with a fixed type and angle, resulting in long replacement times. These fixtures cannot simulate the movement of obstacles after an impact and cannot accurately simulate real-world scenarios. Therefore, this application proposes a battery impact testing device.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To better understand the structure, functional features, and advantages of the present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Example 1: like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a battery impact testing apparatus and equipment, comprising: Base 1, fixed to the ground; The support frame 2 is connected to the base 1 via a telescopic component, and the support frame 2 is provided with a through channel 21; The impact module 3 is rotatably mounted in the channel 21 via the cavity shaft 31 and has multiple mounting surfaces 32, with through holes 311 communicating with the channel 21 on the mounting surfaces 32. Several impact heads 4 can be installed on the mounting plane 32 in multiple directions; A fixing clamp, in conjunction with the support frame 2, clamps the hollow rotating shaft 31 of the impact module 3; The driving component 5 is located on one side of the support frame 2 and is used to drive the impact module 3 to rotate on the support frame 2 in order to switch the impact head 4 on different mounting planes 32 of the impact module 3.

[0019] The support frame 2 of this invention is made of Q235 material. Semi-circular grooves are formed on both side support walls, with smooth inner surfaces to accommodate the hollow rotating shaft 31 of the impact module 3, allowing for smooth rotation. Countersunk holes are formed on the upper surface of the support walls, into which bolts are screwed to connect the support frame 2 to the fixing frame of the impact module 3. A positioning drive component 5 with gears is arranged on the side, which can drive the hollow rotating shaft 31 to achieve Y-axis rotation of the impact module 3.

[0020] See Figure 2 One end of the hollow shaft 31 is provided with a ring gear 6, and the drive component 5 is a motor. The output end of the drive component 5 is driven by meshing with the ring gear 6 through a gearbox or gear. The impact module 3 has four to eight mounting surfaces 32; each mounting surface 32 is provided with a guide positioning post 33, and a through hole 311 is connected to the guide positioning post 33 and is connected to the channel 21 of the hollow shaft 31.

[0021] See Figure 1 straight Figure 3 The impact head 4 includes a triangular impact head, a semi-circular impact head, a rectangular impact head, and a wave-shaped impact head. The base of the impact head 4 is circular, and there is a cavity through hole 311 inside that cooperates with the guide positioning post 33 of the impact module 3, allowing for the rotation of impact heads 4 of different shapes.

[0022] Specifically, depending on the different simulation purposes and the actual situation, the end can be a triangle simulating a square manhole cover, a semicircle simulating a round manhole cover, or other road obstacle shapes.

[0023] Specifically, the telescopic component is either a hydraulic push rod or an air spring. The air spring can move the entire upper component up and down to adjust the height and stiffness, simulating the actual situation when colliding with an object on different substrates.

[0024] See Figure 2 It also includes thermocouples, cameras, and gas sampling tubes, which are located inside the through hole 311 to collect data during the impact process between different impact heads 4 and the battery.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the six rectangular mounting planes 32 of the hexagonal column of the impact module 3 have hollow positioning guide columns that cooperate with the hollow base 1 of different impact heads 4 to provide support for the impact head 4 during impact.

[0026] Working principle of the invention: The hexagonal surface of the impact module 3 has a protruding hollow shaft 31. The surface of the hollow shaft 31 is smoothly treated. The hollow shaft 31 is embedded in the support frame 2 through bearings and can rotate freely. The length of the hollow shaft 31 at one end of the impact module 3 exceeds the wall thickness of the support frame 2. The excess part is machined with tooth grooves to form a ring gear 6, which meshes with the gear of the drive component 5. The six rectangular mounting planes 32 of the hexagonal column of the impact module 3 have hollow positioning guide posts, which mesh with the hollow through holes 311 of the base 1 of the different impact heads 4 to provide support for the impact head 4 during impact.

[0027] During the test, the drive component 5 drives the ring gear 6 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of any impact head 4 on the impact module 3, so that it impacts the battery at different angles and directions. When the device is working, the impact head 4 is fastened to the impact module 3 at a predetermined angle, realizing the angle adjustment of the Z-axis; the cavity rotating shaft 31 rotates the shaft of the impact module 3 through the gear meshing of the drive component 5, realizing the angle adjustment of the Y-axis plane, thereby simulating different obstacle angles. After completing the test of one type of impact head 4, the impact type of different impact heads 4 can be switched by rotating the cavity rotating shaft 31 of the impact module 3.

[0028] Example 2: As another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting plane 32 is provided with a ring of equidistant threaded holes 321 on the outer ring of the guide positioning post 33. The bottom of the impact head 4 is provided with a cylindrical platform, on which are circular equidistant array holes. The circular array of countersunk threaded holes 321 around the guide positioning post 33 is the same as the through hole 311 of the impact head 4, which cooperates to fasten the impact head 4. The cavity through hole 311 of the positioning guide post communicates with the cavity of the rotating shaft, providing laying space for the thermocouple, camera and gas sampling tube when the device is working.

[0029] Furthermore, the countersunk threaded hole 321 on the mounting plane 32 is used to fix the impact head 4, and by setting the positioning guide post and the cylindrical platform, the impact head 4 is rotated around the cylindrical platform to adjust the alignment of the array hole on the cylindrical platform with the countersunk threaded hole 321. Then, by bolt connection, the rotation angle of the impact head 4 on the mounting plane 32 can be adjusted.

[0030] Example 3: As another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 and Figure 10As shown, it also includes a rotating ring 7, which is rotatably mounted on the guide positioning post 33. The rotating ring 7 is provided with a ring of equidistant threaded holes 321. The bottom of the impact head 4 is provided with a cylindrical platform, and the cylindrical platform is provided with a circular equidistant array of holes, so that the array of holes and the threaded holes 321 are aligned by the cylindrical platform and the guide positioning post 33, so as to facilitate bolt connection and allow the impact head 4 to be rotatably mounted on the guide positioning post 33.

[0031] See Figures 5 to 7 as well as Figure 10 It also includes an annular transmission component 8, one end of which is provided with an annular bevel tooth 81, and one end of the rotating ring 7 is provided with teeth 71 that mesh with the annular bevel tooth 81; the other end of the annular transmission component 8 is provided with an annular tooth 82, and a drive motor 9 is provided on one side of the support frame 2, the output end of the drive motor 9 passes through the support frame 2 and meshes with the annular tooth 82 for transmission.

[0032] join Figure 8 and Figure 9 The mounting plane 32 is provided with an annular groove 34, and the end face of the impact module 3 is provided with an annular groove 35. The annular groove 34 and the annular groove 35 are connected. The annular transmission component 8 is rotatably disposed in the annular groove 35 through a bearing, and the rotating ring 7 is rotatably disposed in the annular groove 34 through a bearing.

[0033] Furthermore, it also includes a locking mechanism, which is equipped with a locking rod and is mounted on the support frame 2. The end face of the annular transmission component 8 is provided with multiple locking holes. The locking rod is extended and retracted to engage with the locking holes to further lock the annular transmission component 8, so that the impact head 4 can be firmly fixed on the impact module 3 under the action of the beveled teeth 71 of the rotating ring 7 meshing with the annular bevel teeth 81.

[0034] Furthermore, the locking mechanism is a magnetic lock, which uses an electric wire to control the extension and retraction of the locking rod to lock and unlock the annular transmission component 8.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solutions of the present invention, or modify them into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technology of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
