DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution: an improved new energy battery cell leak detection tool, comprising a base 1, a vertical frame 101 installed on the rear side of the upper end of the base 1, two lifting guide rails 102 installed in parallel at the front end of the vertical frame 101, a cylinder 2 installed at the upper end of the vertical frame 101, a lifting slide 3 slidably installed between the lower end of the cylinder 2 and the two lifting guide rails 102, an upper mold 4 fixed to the lower end of the lifting slide 3 and a lower mold 5 arranged at the upper end of the base 1 and directly below the upper mold 4. The upper end surface of the base 1 is located on the outer side of the lower mold 5 and is fixedly connected with a fixed platform 6. A mounting socket 601 for accommodating the lower end of the lower mold 5 is opened in the middle of the fixed platform 6. A locking mechanism for quickly fixing the lower mold 5 on the base 1 without tools is provided between the fixed platform 6 and the lower mold 5.

[0033] Specifically, Figure 1-3As shown, the locking mechanism includes two limiting protrusions 502 symmetrically fixed on the left and right sides of the lower end of the lower mold 5, limiting grooves 602 opened on the fixed platform 6 and corresponding to the two limiting protrusions 502, longitudinal sliding holes 603 symmetrically opened on the fixed platform 6 and connected to the two limiting grooves 602, a C-shaped insert 7 movably installed between the two longitudinal sliding holes 603 and with the rear end abutting against the limiting protrusions 502, and an adjusting portion arranged between the fixed platform 6 and the C-shaped insert 7, wherein the adjusting portion includes an outer stud 8 rotatably installed in the middle of the front end of the fixed platform 6 and passing through the C-shaped insert 7, an operating knob 801 installed at the front end of the outer stud 8, and an inner screw sleeve 701 fixed in the middle of the C-shaped insert 7 and matching the outer stud 8. When the operating knob 801 is held and rotated, under the action of the spiral transmission between the outer stud 8 and the inner screw sleeve 701, the C-shaped insert 7 can move forward or backward in the longitudinal sliding hole 603 of the fixed platform 6.

[0034] At the same time, the front sides of the upper ends of the two limiting protrusions 502 are both provided with a first inclined surface 503, and the rear side of the lower end of the rear end of the C-shaped insert 7 is provided with a second inclined surface 702 which is parallel to the first inclined surface 503 and fits with each other. The setting of the first inclined surface 503 and the second inclined surface 702 can convert the extrusion force generated in the horizontal direction of the C-shaped insert 7 into the downward extrusion force of the limiting protrusion 502, so as to press and lock the lower mold 5 between the base 1, the stepped air seat 104 and the fixing platform 6.

[0035] Specifically, Figure 1-3 As shown, the upper end of the base 1 is located on the inner side of the mounting socket 601 and is fixedly connected with a stepped air seat 104 which passes upward through the lower mold 5; a stepped air groove 501 corresponding to the stepped air seat 104 is provided in the middle of the lower end of the lower mold 5; a lower air outlet pipe 103 connected to the stepped air seat 104 is installed at the lower end of the base 1, so as to facilitate the establishment of an air path connection between the helium detection pipeline and the lower mold 5; and an upper air inlet pipe 301 connected to the upper mold 4 is installed at the upper end of the lifting slide 3, so as to facilitate the establishment of an air path connection between the helium detection pipeline and the upper mold 4.

[0036] Specifically, Figure 1-3As shown, a sealing part for comprehensive sealing treatment after the lower mold 5 is installed in the fixing table 6 is arranged between the base 1, the stepped air seat 104, the fixing table 6 and the lower mold 5. The sealing part includes a first sealing ring 9 installed at the upper end of the stepped air seat 104 and in contact with the inner wall of the stepped air groove 501, a second sealing ring 10 installed at the upper end of the base 1, between the mounting socket 601 and the lower end of the limiting groove 602, and a third sealing ring 11 installed at the upper end of the base 1 and located outside the stepped air seat 104. The first sealing ring 9 can seal the stepped air groove 501. 1 and the stepped air seat 104 are internally sealed, the second sealing ring 10 can perform external sealing on the connection gap between the lower mold 5, the base 1 and the fixed platform 6, and the third sealing ring 11 can perform central sealing on the connection gap between the lower mold 5 and the base 1. At this time, two sets of sealed cavities will be formed between the first sealing ring 9, the second sealing ring 10 and the third sealing ring 11 to prevent the gas in the lower mold 5 from overflowing into the external environment or the external environment air from entering the lower mold 5 to affect the leak detection work.

[0037] Working principle: When the lower mold 5 needs to be replaced during use, first, hold and reversely rotate the operating knob 801 on the outer stud 8. Under the transmission action between the outer stud 8 and the inner screw sleeve 701, the C-shaped insert 7 can slide forward from the limiting protrusion 502 on the lower mold 5, and the fixed state of the lower mold 5 is released. Secondly, the original lower mold 5 is vertically slid upward from the base 1 and the fixed platform 6, and the lower mold 5 to be used is slid downward into the installation socket 601 in the fixed platform 6. At the same time, the limiting protrusion 502 on the lower mold 5 can also slide into the limiting groove 602 on the fixed platform 6. When the stepped air groove 501 at the lower end of the lower mold 5 is buckled into the stepped air seat 104, the operator can hold and turn the operating knob 801 on the outer stud 8 in the forward direction. Under the transmission action between the outer stud 8 and the inner screw sleeve 701, the C-shaped insert 7 can slide backward in the longitudinal sliding hole 603. When the second inclined surface 702 at the rear end of the C-shaped insert 7 contacts and squeezes the first inclined surface 503 of the limiting protrusion 502, a downward squeezing force can be applied to the lower mold 5, so that the lower mold 5 is limited and locked between the base 1, the stepped air seat 104 and the fixed platform 6, thereby completing the tool-free quick replacement operation of the lower mold 5.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
