Detailed Description of the Embodiment

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] This embodiment provides an integrated device for bottom plasma cleaning and insulation testing of a battery module, including a bracket 1, a support member, a testing member, and a cleaning member.

[0023] The bracket 1 has a frame structure and can be formed by welding profiles. The bracket 1 in this embodiment can use the existing bracket 1, so there is no need to elaborate here. Two first moving sliders 4 arranged along the X direction are installed on the top of the bracket 1, and connecting plates 5 are connected to the sliders of the two first moving sliders 4. In this embodiment, the first moving slider 4 uses the moving slider driven by a servo motor in the prior art, so there is no need to elaborate here.

[0024] The support member includes two cross beams 2 and two support plates 3. The two cross beams 2 are arranged along the Y direction, and both ends of the two cross beams 2 are respectively connected to the two connecting plates 5 by bolts. A plurality of second screw holes are provided at both ends of the two cross beams 2 at intervals along their lengths. The two support plates 3 are located between the two cross beams 2 and are perpendicular to the cross beams 2. Screw holes are provided at both ends of the support plate 3, and the screw holes at both ends of the support plate 3 respectively communicate with one of the second screws on the two cross beams 2 and are connected by bolts. Through the above structure, the distance between the two support plates 3 can be adjusted according to the size of the battery module, and driven by the two first moving sliders 4, the entire support member can move back and forth in the X direction at the top of the bracket 1. To facilitate the placement of the battery module, a stepped groove is formed by the sinking of the mutually adjacent sides of the two support plates 3, and the stepped groove is adapted to the side end plates of the battery module, so that the end plates at both ends of the battery module are respectively limited in the two stepped grooves.

[0025] The test piece includes a mounting frame 6, an insulation test bench 7 and a lifting cylinder 8. The mounting frame 6 is installed on the bracket 1. The insulation test bench 7 is located above the mounting frame 6. The width of the insulation test bench 7 is smaller than the distance between the two cross beams 2. A plurality of lifting guide rods 13 are connected to the bottom of the insulation test bench 7, and the lifting guide rods 13 slide through the mounting frame 6. The lifting cylinder 8 is installed on the mounting frame 6 and its piston rod is connected to the bottom of the insulation test bench 7. When the lifting cylinder 8 expands and contracts, it can drive the insulation test bench 7 to move up and down. When the insulation test bench 7 moves upward, the insulation test bench 7 lifts the battery module between the two support plates 3 so that the battery module is separated from the support member, and then the insulation test of the bottom of the battery module can be carried out. After the test is completed, the lifting cylinder 8 descends, and the battery module falls back onto the two support plates 3, and the insulation test bench 7 is separated from the battery module.

[0026] The cleaning component includes a plasma cleaning head 9 and a moving mechanism. The moving mechanism includes a lifting slide 10, a second moving slide 11, and a third moving slide 12. The third moving slide 12 is installed on the bracket 1. The second moving slide 11 is installed on the slider of the third moving slide 12 and moves in the Y direction under the drive of the third moving slide 12. The lifting slide 10 is installed on the slider of the second moving slide 11 and moves in the X direction under the drive of the second moving slide 12. The plasma cleaning head 9 is installed on the lifting slide 10 and moves in the Z direction under the drive of the lifting slide 10. Thus, the moving mechanism can drive the plasma cleaning head 9 to move vertically and horizontally. When the battery module moves above the cleaning component, the lifting slide 10 drives the plasma cleaning head 9 to move upward to perform plasma cleaning on the bottom of the battery module. Then, the second moving slide 11 drives the lifting slide 10 to move in the X direction, and the third moving slide 12 drives the second moving slide 11 to move in the Y direction, thereby driving the plasma cleaning head 9 to reciprocate in the X and Y directions, and thus completing the plasma cleaning work on the entire bottom of the battery module.

[0027] With the above structural settings, when the integrated device for plasma cleaning and insulation testing of the bottom of the battery module in this embodiment is working, first adjust the distance between the two support plates 3 according to the size of the battery module, and then place the battery module on the two support plates 3. At this time, the end plates at both ends of the battery module are respectively restricted in the two step grooves; then the two first moving slides 4 are started to drive the battery module to move above the insulation testing table 7, and then the lifting cylinder 8 extends, and the insulation testing table 7 lifts the battery module between the two support plates 3 so that the battery module is separated from the support member, and then the insulation test of the bottom of the battery module can be carried out; after the insulation test is completed, the lifting cylinder 8 descends, and the battery module falls back onto the two support plates 3, and the insulation testing table 7 is separated from the battery module; then the two first moving slides 4 pneumatically drive the battery module to move above the cleaning component, and then the lifting slide 10 drives the plasma cleaning head 9 to move upward to perform plasma cleaning on the bottom of the battery module. Then, the second moving slide 11 drives the lifting slide 10 to move in the X direction, and the third moving slide 12 drives the second moving slide 11 to move in the Y direction, thereby driving the plasma cleaning head 9 to reciprocate in the X and Y directions, and thus completing the plasma cleaning work on the entire bottom of the battery module; after the plasma cleaning is completed, the lifting slide 10, the second moving slide 11, and the third moving slide 12 all return to their original positions, and the battery module can be taken away.
