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.

[0025] See also Figure 1 As shown, a tensile testing device for lithium battery components includes a thermostat 1, an electrolyte tank 2, a fixture, and a tensile testing machine. The tensile testing machine uses an existing tensile testing machine. A humidity sensor 3 and a temperature sensor 4 are installed in the thermostat 1. The thermostat 1 is provided with a controller. The controller has the humidity sensor 3, the temperature sensor 4, and a temperature control mechanism and a humidity adjustment mechanism that are electrically connected. The thermostat 1 is a prior art, and its structure is not described here. A cover plate 5 is hinged at the upper end of the thermostat 1. An opening and closing plate 6 is hinged on the cover plate 5 and located above the electrolyte tank 2. By opening the opening and closing plate 6, it is convenient to perform tensile testing on battery components.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, a support rod 7 is fixed at the bottom in the thermostat 1, and a support plate 8 is fixed at the upper end of the support rod 7. The electrolyte tank 2 is arranged in the thermostat 1, and a groove 9 for the support plate 8 to pass through is provided at the lower end of the bottom plate 24 of the electrolyte tank 2. A card slot 10 engaged with the support plate 8 is provided on one side of the groove 9. The groove 9 is connected to the card slot 10. The length and width of the groove 9 are greater than the length and width of the support plate 8, and the card slot 10 is adapted to the size of the support plate 8. Guide rods 11 are symmetrically fixed in the thermostat 1 and located on both sides of the electrolyte tank 2. The guide rods 11 are specifically fixed to the bottom of the thermostat 1. Guide blocks 12 are respectively fixed to the side walls at both ends of the electrolyte tank 2, and the guide blocks 12 are sleeved outside the guide rods 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the guide block 12 is provided with a through hole 13 and a through hole 14 , the through hole 13 and the through hole 14 are connected, and an elastic stopper 15 is fixed between the through hole 13 and the through hole 14 , and the elastic stopper 15 can be made of rubber.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, a slide rail 16 is symmetrically fixed on the inner wall of the electrolyte tank 2, and a slider 17 is installed on the slide rail 16. The slider 17 is fixed to the slide rail 16 by bolts, and the slider 17 is connected to the adjusting screw 18 by threads. The clamp is symmetrically arranged in the electrolyte tank 2, and the clamp is composed of a connecting plate 19 and an upper clamping plate 20 and a lower clamping plate 21 fixed at both ends of the connecting plate 19. The connecting plate 19 is fixed to the end of the adjusting screw 18 away from the slider 17. The upper clamping plate 20 is connected to the adjusting bolt 22 by threads, that is, the adjusting bolt 22 passes through the upper clamping plate 20 and extends between the upper clamping plate 20 and the lower clamping plate 21. A liquid outlet pipe 23 is provided at the lower end of the electrolyte tank 2, and the liquid outlet pipe 23 extends out of the thermostat 1.

[0028] Working principle: first assemble the electrolyte tank 2, open the cover plate 5, extend the liquid outlet pipe 23 from the bottom of the thermostat 1, and then sleeve the guide rod 11 into the perforation 13 of the guide block 12, so that the groove 9 here is opposite to the support plate 8, that is, the electrolyte tank 2 is moved downward along the perforation 13, and the support plate 8 is just located in the groove 9. When the support plate 8 contacts the bottom plate 24 of the electrolyte tank 2, the electrolyte tank 2 is moved horizontally, so that the support plate 8 extends into the card slot 10 for engagement, and the guide rod 11 squeezes the elastic block 15 and moves it into the perforation 2 14. When the electrolyte tank 2 needs to be disassembled, the reverse operation can be performed.

[0029] When the tensile force of the lithium battery component 25 needs to be tested, the slider 17 is moved, and after the slider 17 is adjusted to a suitable height, the slider 17 is fixed to the slide rail 16 with a bolt; then the adjusting screw 18 is turned to adjust the spacing between the two clamps to a suitable distance, and then the lithium battery component 25 is placed between the two clamps, so that the lithium battery component 25 is located between the upper clamp 20 and the lower clamp 21, and fits with the upper end surface of the lower clamp 21, and the adjusting bolt 22 is turned to make the adjusting bolt 22 press against the lithium battery component 25. A rope is put on the outer sleeve of the lithium battery component 25 (this step can also be completed before clamping the lithium battery component 25) or other fixings compatible with the tensile testing machine, and the fixings are connected to the tensile testing machine. Then the temperature and humidity of the thermostat 1 are adjusted to the required values, and the electrolyte is injected into the electrolyte tank 2. After the battery swells, it is immediately tested using the tensile testing machine.
