[0018] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0019] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined as "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0020] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", "fixed connection" and "fixed connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the invention can be understood through specific circumstances. The specific implementation methods of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a tool for a battery cell bending test includes a hanging plate 1, a pressing block 2, a pressing plate 3 and a base 4. Among them,

[0022] The hanging plate 1 and the pressing block 2 form a structure that can synchronously press and bend the upper part of the battery cell downward. The hanging plate 1 is a common hanging plate in the battery cell extrusion test equipment. Its function is to transmit the pressure set by the extrusion equipment to the top of the extruded object, which is convex. The pressing block 2 can be fixed under the hanging plate 1 by screws 2-2 to transmit the extrusion force of the equipment to the upper part of the battery cell; the edge of the pressing block 2 contacting the battery cell has an upper chamfer 2-1 to prevent the aluminum plastic shell of the battery cell from being crushed and the force is evenly distributed.

[0023] The pressing plate 3 and the base 4 are used to clamp the lower part of the battery cell. The base 4 has a certain height and can be inserted above the extrusion platform 5. The pressing plate 3 can compact the battery cell onto the base 4, and fix the lower part of the battery cell with the first screw 3-1. The base 4 is fixed on the extrusion platform 5 by the second screw 4-1, and can be flexibly moved in the left and right directions, and cooperate with the pressing block 2 to adapt to different battery cell thicknesses. The edges of the base 4 have a lower chamfer 4-2 to prevent the aluminum-plastic shell of the battery cell from being crushed and to ensure uniform force. A height block 4-3 is provided between the base and the extrusion platform to flexibly adjust the overall height of the base 4 to meet the bending requirements of batteries of different sizes.

[0024] The extrusion platform 5 is a common extrusion platform in the battery cell extrusion test equipment and is fixed.

[0025] When in use, the battery cell is pressed onto the base through the pressing plate, and the two sides of the pressing plate are tightened by the first screws. The upper part of the extrusion platform drives the pressing block to move downward, and the pressing block moves downward, gradually pressing down one side of the battery cell. Since a part of the battery cell is fixed to the base by the pressing plate, the part in contact with the pressing block will bend downward. Under the action of the upper chamfer and the lower chamfer, the battery cell is gradually bent 90 degrees without damaging the battery cell, thereby completing the test.

[0026] It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
