Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electric vehicles, in particular to a power battery bottom obstacle impact test system. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the electric vehicle industry, the production and sales of electric vehicles are growing rapidly, and the electrical safety of electric vehicles has attracted more and more attention. The power battery of electric vehicles is affected by external forces such as impact and extrusion, which causes the power battery shell to deform and lead to internal thermal runaway, thus causing new energy vehicles to catch fire. The abuse test of electric vehicle power batteries is increasingly used for power battery safety performance testing.

[0003] The current abuse test of the bottom of the power battery generally uses an impact head of a certain mass and shape to vertically impact the bottom of the power battery along the track with a certain energy. In actual accidents, there are situations where the bottom of the car power battery hits an obstacle and the vehicle continues to drive. At this time, scratches will be formed on the collision point. This type of working condition has a large degree of damage. Most of the existing tests do not cover this type of working condition, which is not conducive to improving the development of power battery safety performance. Although there are some test institutions for scratching the bottom of the power battery in the prior art, for example, CN114354480A discloses a test device for scratching the bottom of the power battery of an electric vehicle, which uses a movable scratching head to scratch different positions of the bottom of the power battery to simulate the bottom of the power battery being scratched by foreign objects for detection. However, in actual accidents, there are situations where the bottom of the power battery hits the curb. During the collision, the curb often shifts, and the degree of scratching at different positions of the power battery is different. The existing bottom scratch mechanism is difficult to simulate such working conditions. Therefore, the utility model provides a power battery bottom obstacle impact test system to simulate the working condition of the bottom of the power battery hitting the curb, thereby improving the development of the safety performance of the power battery.

It should be understood that the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, but are only intended to illustrate the essential spirit of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0032] In the following description, certain specific details are set forth for the purpose of illustrating various disclosed embodiments to provide a thorough understanding of the various disclosed embodiments. However, those skilled in the relevant art will recognize that the embodiments may be practiced without one or more of these specific details. In other cases, well-known devices, structures, and techniques associated with the present application may not be shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the description of the embodiments.

[0033] Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the word "comprise" and variations such as "include" and "have" should be construed in an open, inclusive sense, ie, should be interpreted as "including, but not limited to."

[0034] References throughout the specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" indicate that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Thus, the appearances of "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" in various places throughout the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any manner in one or more embodiments.

[0035] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It should be noted that the term "or" is generally employed in its sense including "and / or" unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0036] In the following description, in order to clearly demonstrate the structure and working mode of the utility model, many directional words will be used for description, but the words "front", "back", "left", "right", "outside", "inside", "outward", "inward", "up", "down", etc. should be understood as convenient terms and should not be understood as restrictive terms.

[0037] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical", "overhanging" and the like do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely horizontal or overhanging, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0038] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" 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 communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a power battery bottom obstacle impact test system, including a mobile trolley, a track, an impact block, a damping mechanism, a barrier, a power battery fixing tool and a traction mechanism. The track, the power battery fixing tool and the traction mechanism are not shown in FIG1 .

[0040] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mobile trolley 1 includes a trolley body 11, which is formed by welding steel materials such as plate ribs and pipe fittings. The bottom of the trolley body 11 is a guide rail portion 12 that matches the track. The guide rail portion 12 can be slidably placed on the track so that the mobile trolley 1 can move along the track. A base is provided on the upper part of the trolley body 11, and the base is used to accommodate the impact block so that the impact block can move with the mobile trolley. In this embodiment, an upper base 13 and a lower base 14 are provided on the trolley body 11, and the upper base 13 and the lower base 14 are both located directly above the guide rail portion 12, that is, the upper base 13 and the lower base 14 are also located directly above the track. When the impact block is placed on the upper base 13 or the lower base 14, the center of gravity of the impact block is also located directly above the track, so that the mobile trolley 1 is not easy to tilt in the left and right directions when moving on the track, and the impact position of the impact block can be more accurately controlled.

[0041] See also Figure 2 The upper base 13 and the lower base 14 are not only staggered in the height direction, but also staggered in the front-to-back direction (i.e., the moving direction of the mobile trolley 1), wherein the upper base 13 is close to the rear end of the trolley body 11, and the lower base 14 is close to the front end of the trolley body 11, so that the impact block placed on the upper base 13 or the lower base 14 can collide with different positions of the power battery, which is convenient for selecting different collision points for testing. Figure 3The impact block 2 is a rectangular metal block, and the edges of the impact block 2 are rounded to simulate the appearance structure of a conventional curbstone colliding with the bottom of the power battery. Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the upper base 13 is shown. The upper base 13 includes a fixing member 131 , an extension member 132 and a plurality of guide strips 133 . The fixing member 131 includes a left side wall, a right side wall and a tail wall at the tail, which are arranged at right angles. The fixing member 131 is rigidly fixed to the trolley body 11, and is fixed to the trolley body 11 by welding in the present application. The extension member 132 is fixed to the upper part of the left and right side walls by fixing bolts 134 and extends vertically to the connected left side wall or right side wall. A plurality of guide strips 133 are fixed to the inner side of the left and right side walls of the fixing member 131 and the inner side of the extension member 132 by fixing bolts 134, and the plurality of guide strips 133 jointly plan a space that matches the shape of the impact block 2, so that the impact block 2 can be placed in the space. At the same time, when the mobile trolley 1 is converted from a moving state to a stopped state, when the impact block 2 flies out from the upper base 13 or the lower base 14 due to inertia, the guide strip 133 can guide the flying direction of the impact block 2, so that the impact block 2 can more accurately hit the test point corresponding to the power battery. The rear wall of the fixing member 131 is used to block the impact block 2 to prevent the impact block 2 from escaping from the space from the rear.

[0042] Preferably, the surface where the guide bar 133 contacts the impact block 2 is an arc-shaped curved surface to reduce the contact resistance between the guide bar 133 and the impact block 2, so that the impact block 2 can smoothly fly out of the base due to inertia. In addition, since the guide bar 133 is fixed to the inner side of the left and right side walls of the fixing member 131 and the inner side of the extension member 132 by the fixing bolts 134, the gap and pressure between the guide bar 133 and the impact block 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the locking length of the fixing bolts 134, so that the friction resistance of the impact block 2 in the base can be adjusted, and the speed of the impact block 2 when it flies out of the base can be adjusted to a certain extent. Since the structure of the lower base 14 is the same as that of the upper base 13, the structure of the lower base 14 is not described repeatedly.

[0043] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5A traction rope fixing device 15 is also provided at the bottom of the trolley body 11. The traction rope fixing device 15 includes a first clamping block 151, a second clamping block 152 and a wrench 153 that are matched. The first clamping block 151 and the second clamping block 152 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the trolley body 11, and one of the first and second clamping blocks can move toward each other. In this embodiment, the second clamping block 152 is a movable part, and the first clamping block 151 is an immovable fixed part. The second clamping block 152 can move toward the first clamping block 151 and thus can clamp and fix the traction rope between the first clamping block 151 and the second clamping block 152. The wrench 153 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the trolley body 11, and the wrench 153 has a cam portion 1531 matched with the second clamping block 152. As the wrench 153 rotates, the cam portion 1531 has a locking state in which the first and second clamping blocks fix the traction rope, and an unlocking state in which the second clamping block 152 can move away from the first clamping block 151 and the traction rope can be unlocked. The traction mechanism drives the movement of the mobile trolley 1 on the track through the traction rope fixed on the trolley body 11.

[0044] The traction mechanism in this embodiment includes a traction rope, a driving motor that drives the traction rope to move along the extension direction of the track, and a traction vehicle towed by the traction rope, and the traction vehicle is used to clamp or release the traction rope. The traction vehicle is used to move the mobile trolley when being pulled by the traction rope to move toward the direction of the sample to be tested. After the mobile trolley is pulled to a preset distance by the traction vehicle, the traction vehicle releases the traction rope and disengages from it, allowing the mobile trolley to continue to move under the action of inertia and stop through the damping mechanism; when the mobile trolley stops, the impact block moves from the base to the direction of the sample to be tested under the action of inertia, and the impact block freely flies out of the mobile trolley and hits the sample to be tested, thereby completing an impact test. The mobile trolley in this embodiment can reach a speed of 90km / h after being pulled by the traction mechanism, and the initial speed of the impact block hitting the power battery under the action of inertia can also exceed 80km / h. Compared with the impact test in the prior art, the test system of this embodiment can simulate the impact condition at a higher vehicle speed, and can more realistically complete the impact test of the bottom obstacle of the power battery, thereby improving the development of the safety performance of the power battery.

[0045] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6The damping mechanism 3 includes a crossbeam 31, a longitudinal beam 32, a damping base 33 and a damping plug 34. The left and right ends of the crossbeam 31 are respectively fixedly connected to a longitudinal beam 32, and the longitudinal beam 32 is fixed to the bottom of the barrier 4. The barrier 4 in this embodiment is a steel plate with a certain thickness, and the barrier 4 is fixed on a concrete wall 5 with sufficient strength. In some embodiments, the barrier 4 can also be a concrete wall with sufficient strength, that is, the concrete wall 5 can also serve as a barrier. The damping base 33 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the crossbeam 31, and the damping base 33 is provided with a socket portion 331 opened toward the front end of the trolley body 11. The damping plug 34 is fixed to the front end of the trolley body 11, and the damping plug 34 has a plug portion 341 matched with the socket portion 331, and the plug portion 341 can be inserted into the socket portion 331 to allow the mobile trolley 1 to achieve the purpose of deceleration and stopping movement. Preferably, a plurality of friction plates 342 are further provided on the side of the plug portion 341 , and the friction plates 342 can increase the friction resistance between the plug portion 341 and the socket portion 331 , thereby allowing the mobile trolley 1 to stop moving more quickly.

[0046] See also Figure 7 The power battery fixing tool 6 includes a fixing frame 61 and a power battery mounting plate 62. The power battery mounting plate 62 is fixed to the barrier 4 through the fixing frame 61. The power battery 7 to be tested can be installed on the power battery mounting plate 62 for relevant tests. Preferably, the angle between the power battery mounting plate 62 and the horizontal plane is 20-30 degrees, more preferably 25 degrees, that is, the angle between the power battery 7 to be tested installed on the power battery mounting plate 62 and the horizontal plane is also 25 degrees. When the impact block 2 hits the power battery 7 to be tested due to inertia, the impact block 2 first hits the power battery 7 horizontally. Due to the angle setting between the power battery 7 and the horizontal plane, the impact block 2 will continue to scratch the power battery 7 along the inclined direction of the power battery 7. After scratching for a distance, the impact block 2 gradually separates from the power battery 7 due to its own gravity, so as to more realistically simulate the working condition when the power battery is scratched by the curb, thereby more realistically completing the obstacle impact test at the bottom of the battery pack and improving the safety performance development of the power battery.
