[0002] In a battery, electrons move between the positive and negative electrodes to generate an electric current. This process seems simple, but actually involves complex physical and chemical changes. When the battery is damaged by an external force, such as being pierced by a sharp object like a needle, its internal structure may be damaged, leading to short circuits or even thermal runaway. Thermal runaway is an extremely dangerous state that may cause the battery to overheat, catch fire, or even explode. Therefore, by simulating this extreme situation, the acupuncture test can effectively evaluate the safety performance of the battery when it is severely physically damaged.

[0020] The present utility model provides a walking type battery needle piercing robot, which includes a vehicle body 1, a needle piercing mechanism, and an outer cover 2. The vehicle body 1 includes a chassis 10 and AGV steering wheels 11 arranged on the four sides of the bottom of the chassis 10. The outer cover 2 covers the chassis 10. The needle piercing mechanism includes a needle driving mechanism 3 and a needle 4 arranged on the chassis 10. The needle driving mechanism 3 is used to drive the needle 4 to perform a piercing action. A piercing window 20 is provided at the top of the outer cover 2, and the needle 4 extends out of the outer cover 2 from the piercing window 20.
[0021] The specific working principle is that when the AGV steering wheels 11 work, they can drive the chassis 10 to move, so that the needle piercing robot can come to the position where the battery needle piercing test needs to be carried out by itself, which is convenient for carrying out the needle piercing test on different battery positions. When carrying out the needle piercing test, the battery is fixed above the needle 4, and the needle 4 is driven by the needle driving mechanism 3 to perform a piercing action on the battery, so that the needle piercing test on the battery can be completed. There is no need for staff to move the battery to the test equipment for the needle piercing test, which can simplify the test process, save manpower, improve the test efficiency, increase the effective working time of the test equipment, reduce the equipment investment, and lower the equipment investment cost. By replacing the needle 4 of the present application with accessories of other similar battery test equipment, it should be understood as a simple replacement of technology, and all should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0022] Based on the above embodiments, it further includes a battery 5 and a controller 6 electrically connected to the battery 5. The top of the chassis 10 is provided with a first groove 100 and a second groove 101 in a cross shape. The needle piercing driving mechanism 3 is arranged on the first groove 100. The battery 5 and the controller 6 are both arranged on the second groove 101 and are respectively located on both sides of the needle piercing driving mechanism 3. Accommodating grooves 102 are arranged on the four sides of the bottom of the chassis 10. The AGV wheels 11 are installed in the accommodating grooves 102 and are electrically connected to the controller 6, which can compress the overall height of the robot, improve the structural compactness, reduce the volume of the robot body, and facilitate testing in a relatively low space.
[0023] Based on the above embodiments, the needle piercing driving mechanism 3 includes a base 30 arranged on the first groove 100, a needle piercing driving motor 31 arranged on the top of the base 30, a top plate 32, a plurality of guide posts 33 fixedly connected between the base 30 and the top plate 32, a lifting plate 34, a screw rod 35, and a needle installation arm. The guide posts 33 and the lifting plate 34 are connected through a guide sleeve. An internal thread sleeve 340 is penetrated through the lifting plate 34. The screw rod 35 is threadedly connected to the internal thread sleeve 340. A through hole is penetrated through the top of the base 30. The bottom end of the screw rod 35 extends into the base 30 through the through hole. The needle piercing driving motor 31 and the bottom end of the screw rod 35 are connected through a synchronous pulley drive. The needle installation arm includes a cross arm 36 and guide rods 37 fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the cross arm 36 respectively. The needle 4 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the cross arm 36. The guide rods 37 and the top plate 32 are connected through a guide sleeve. A pressure sensor 38 corresponding to the guide rods 37 is arranged on the top of the lifting plate 34. The bottom end of the guide rod 37 abuts against the pressure sensor 38. The cross arm 36 can enter and exit the outer cover 2 through the piercing window 20. The needle piercing driving motor 31 and the pressure sensor 38 are both electrically connected to the controller 6. When the robot walks under the battery that needs to be subjected to the needle piercing test, the needle 4 will be aligned with the battery. By driving the screw rod 35 to rotate through the needle piercing driving motor 31, the lifting plate 34 can be driven to move upward. The guide rods 37 will rise along with the lifting plate 34 and move along the guide sleeve on the top plate 32, thereby driving the needle 4 to rise and perform a piercing operation on the battery. The pressure sensor 38 can monitor the reverse thrust received by the current guide rod 37, so that the controller 6 can obtain the current needle piercing force. After the needle piercing test is completed, the needle 4 can be driven to descend and reset, having good working stability.
[0024] Based on the above embodiments, a liquid receiving frame body 21 is fixedly connected between the top of the top plate 32 and the top of the outer cover 2. A discharge port 210 is formed in one side wall of the liquid receiving frame body 21. A liquid discharging groove 211 connected to the discharge port 210 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the liquid receiving frame body 21. A discharge port 200 is formed in the side wall of the outer cover 2. The output end of the liquid discharging groove 211 is connected to the discharge port 200. When the battery is punctured, there may be a situation of liquid leakage or combustion. The dropped waste can fall into the liquid receiving frame body 21 through the puncturing window 20. By flushing the inside of the liquid receiving frame body 21, the waste can be discharged from the discharge port 200 through the liquid discharging groove 211, avoiding the corrosion of the top plate 32 caused by the liquid leakage of the battery pack.
[0025] Based on the above embodiments, a plurality of lighting lamps 7 electrically connected to the controller 6 are arranged on the inner wall of the outer cover 2. The outer cover 2 is made of a transparent material. When the lighting lamps 7 work, the emitted light can pass through the outer cover 2, facilitating the experiment in a dim environment.
[0026] Based on the above embodiments, a distance sensor 8 electrically connected to the controller 6 is arranged on the inner wall of the outer cover 2, which can enable the robot to judge the distance from the obstacle and reduce the occurrence of collisions.
[0027] Based on the above embodiments, a frame 12 is arranged on the top of the chassis 10. The frame 12 is covered inside the outer cover 2, which can improve the structural strength of the outer cover 2 and the anti-collision ability of the robot.
[0028] The above embodiments are only descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention.
