The second elastic member 510 is arranged between the second slide post 509 and the second guide sleeve 511. The second elastic member 510 is used to apply an external force to the second slide post 509 away from the third mounting hole 603. The structure formed by the second slide post 509, the second elastic member 510, and the second guide sleeve 511 is the same as the structure formed by the first slide post 506, the first elastic member 507, and the first guide sleeve 508. Each seat body is equipped with two second slide posts 509.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1As shown, the flip mechanism 5 located at the rear end also includes: a third slide post 512, a third guide sleeve 513, the third guide sleeve 513 is connected to the swing arm 502, the third slide post 512 is slidably inserted in the third guide sleeve 513 and is used to detect the fourth mounting hole 604, the third slide post 512 is the fourth insert, and the outer periphery of the third slide post 512 is also convexly provided with a plate body 514, the plate body 514 has a limiting portion 515 and a notch portion 516, the swing arm 502 is provided with a limiting groove 517 corresponding to the limiting portion 515, the limiting groove 517 is used to limit the limiting portion 515 in the limiting groove 517, and the notch portion 516 is provided. The mouth portion 516 is used to make the plate body 514 disengage from the limiting groove 517, wherein the third slide post 512 can rotate in the third guide sleeve 513, so that the limiting portion 515 and the notch portion 516 of the plate body 514 can switch in the limiting groove 517, and when the detection end at the lower end of the third slide post 512 is inserted into the fourth mounting hole 604, the third slide post 512 can be rotated so that the limiting portion 515 enters the limiting groove 517, thereby positioning the third slide post 512, and the third slide post 512 limits the peripheral structure of the fourth mounting hole 604, thereby positioning the rear end of the lower shell 6.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 , 6 , 7, and 8, since there is another lower shell 6 with the structure shown in the figure, it is defined as the second lower shell 6, and the former lower shell 6 is defined as the first lower shell 6. The second lower shell 6 has the same hole positions as the first mounting hole 601 and the second mounting hole 602 of the first lower shell 6, and the hole position of the fourth mounting hole 604 of the second lower shell 6 is different from the hole position of the fourth mounting hole 604 of the first lower shell 6. Therefore, four third slide posts 512 are arranged on the bottom plate, two of which correspond to the design position of the fourth hole position in the first lower shell 6, and the other two third slide posts 512 correspond to the design position of the fourth hole position in the first lower shell 6. The position of the column 512 corresponds to the design position of the fourth hole in the second lower shell 6. The second shell does not have the third mounting hole 603, but has the fifth mounting hole as shown in the figure. Therefore, the inspection tool also has the following corresponding design structure. The inspection tool for the lower shell of the battery pack also includes: a third column 8 and a fifth insert 9. The third column 8 has a second detection hole 801 corresponding to the fifth mounting hole of the second lower shell 6. The fifth insert 9 is used to insert into the second detection hole 801 and the fifth mounting hole. Through the above design, the versatility of the inspection tool is improved, and two lower shells 6 with similar structures can be inspected.

[0048] The method of using this inspection tool is as follows: place the lower shell 6 to be inspected on the first column 1, and limit the lower shell 6 by the first insert 4 and the second insert. According to whether the first type of lower shell 6 or the second type of lower shell 6 is to be inspected, select the first insert 4, the second insert, the third insert, and the fourth insert, or select the first insert 4, the second insert, the fourth insert, and the fifth insert 9 to insert into the corresponding mounting holes in the lower shell 6. If the above operations can be carried out smoothly, the mounting hole position of the lower shell 6 is correct and the lower shell 6 passes the inspection. Otherwise, the lower shell 6 fails the inspection.
