[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] See also Figure 1-5 In an embodiment of the utility model, a lithium battery diaphragm automatic permeability testing device includes a detection base 1 and a permeability meter 3 provided on the detection base 1 for performing a permeability test on a diaphragm sample, which is mainly used to test the permeability of the diaphragm sample. Two sets of roller assemblies are also provided on the detection base 1. The roller assembly includes a fixed platform 4 provided on the detection base 1 and a base motor connected to the fixed platform 4. A pressure roller 7 for limiting the position of the diaphragm sample is also installed on the fixed platform 4. The pressure roller 7 is mainly used to adjust the flatness of the diaphragm sample. A reel component is detachably assembled at the output end of the base motor. When the reel component rotates, the diaphragm sample is wound or unwound.

[0020] Specifically, the two sets of roller assemblies have the same structure and can perform the same function, namely, winding or unwinding. During use, one set of roller assemblies performs unwinding, while the other performs winding. A control computer 8 is installed on the detection base 1. The control computer 8 is connected to the permeability tester 3 and the base motor, respectively. The control computer 8 controls the permeability tester 3 via a serial line to run the test according to a specified time pattern and record the test data. A reel component and a pressure roller 7 are installed on the left and right sides of the permeability tester 3 above the detection base 1. The reel component and the pressure roller 7 are driven by the base motor and controlled by the control computer 8. The control computer 8 controls the reel component and the pressure roller 7 to move the diaphragm and control the permeability tester 3. The test data is connected to the control computer 8 via a serial line and fed back to the control computer 8, thereby realizing automatic testing and uploading of the permeability data to the control computer 8. With this device, the membrane permeability test can be completed uniformly and accurately, and manual data entry can be eliminated, which greatly improves the uniformity and inspection efficiency of lithium battery membrane permeability testing.

[0021] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment, in this embodiment, preferably, a connecting platform 2 is installed on the surface of the detection base 1 on the roller assembly, and the connecting platform 2 is located between the two roller groups. A permeability meter 3 is fixed on the connecting platform 2. Furthermore, under the action of the connecting platform 2, the permeability meter 3 can be well fixed on the detection base 1.

[0022] See also Figure 1In one embodiment, in this embodiment, preferably, an external thread is formed at the end of the base motor output end, and the external thread is connected to the internal thread groove 11 formed at the end of the reel component. The thread direction of the internal thread groove 11 is opposite to the rotation direction of the base motor, which can effectively prevent the reel component from falling off the base motor when the base motor drives the reel component to rotate.

[0023] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, in this embodiment, preferably, the reel component includes a first power roller 5 connected to the base motor through an internal thread groove 11, and a pin shaft hole for the pin shaft 6 to pass through is formed at the end of the first power roller 5 away from the internal thread groove 11. When the pin shaft 6 is inserted, the position of the diaphragm roll on the first power roller 5 is restricted.

[0024] Specifically, the diaphragm roll of corresponding size is first put on the outer circumference of the first power roller 5, and then the pin 6 is inserted into the pin hole. At this time, the pin 6 contacts the end face of the diaphragm roll, which plays a role in limiting the position of the diaphragm roll. Similarly, the diaphragm roll can be replaced by simply pulling the pin 6 out of the pin hole. Since the position of the pin hole is fixed, the first power roller 5 can only adapt to one size of diaphragm roll.

[0025] See also Figure 3 In another embodiment, in this embodiment, preferably, the reel component includes a second power roller 9 connected to the base motor through an internal thread groove 11, and a through channel 10 is formed on the second power roller 9 for a movable pin 12 to slide inside. The surface of the movable pin 12 is installed with a tension spring 13 located in the through channel 10 and connected to the inner wall of the through channel 10.

[0026] In order to better adapt to diaphragm rolls of different widths, during the assembly process, the second power roller 9 can be first unscrewed from the base motor, and then the diaphragm roll can be inserted from the end of the internal thread groove 11. At this time, the diaphragm roll squeezes the movable pin 12 along the through channel 10. When the diaphragm roll is completely covered with the second power roller 9, the second power roller 9 can be fixed to the end of the base motor. Although the replacement efficiency is lower than the previous embodiment, it can adapt to diaphragm rolls of various widths.

[0027] The same tester used the lithium battery membrane gas permeability automatic test device and the manual test device to test the same 3 rolls of membrane gas permeability samples. The test time comparison showed that the lithium battery membrane gas permeability automatic test device saved 30% of the test time compared with the manual test device. The test result feedback showed that in the equidistant test, the MSA measurement system analysis repeatability of the lithium battery membrane gas permeability automatic test device was better than that of the manual test device.

[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: a membrane sample to be tested is placed between a first powered roller 5 and a second powered roller 9. The control computer 8 is activated to control the permeability tester 3 and the base motor. The membrane sample is driven forward by the first powered roller 5 or the second powered roller 9 and is transferred to the permeability tester 3 via the pressure roller 7. The control computer 8 simultaneously controls the permeability tester 3 for testing. After the test, the membrane sample is transferred to the first powered roller 5 or the second powered roller 9 via the pressure roller 7. The permeability values at the set distances are tested in sequence, and the test data is uploaded to the computer in real time. This eliminates the need for manual membrane movement and permeability data recording during the entire testing process.

[0029] Although this specification is described according to implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0030] Therefore, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present application; that is, all equivalent modifications made according to the scope of the claims of the present application are within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
