[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the airtight test clamping mechanism for the battery pack includes a lower support mechanism 9 and an upper support mechanism 1. The upper support frame of the lower support mechanism 9 is provided with a test frame 15. The lower support mechanism 9 is composed of a plurality of support legs. All support legs jointly set up the test frame 15. The support legs are provided with limiting angle blocks 14 for users to limit and fix the test frame 15. The lower support mechanism 9 is connected to a side clamping mechanism, which is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the test frame 15. The upper support mechanism 1 is connected to an upper clamping mechanism, which is perpendicular to the side clamping mechanism and symmetrically distributed at both ends above the test frame 15.

[0026] The side clamping mechanism includes a side drive 11 and a side slide 8 fixed to the lower support mechanism 9. The power output end of the side drive 11 is connected to the drive arm 7. The bottom end of the drive arm 7 is connected to the side slide 8 through the side slider 13. The top end of the drive arm 7 is connected to the side pressure plate 10 away from the side drive 11. The side clamping mechanism can not only achieve side clamping of the battery pack, but also be compatible with battery packs of different widths, thereby improving the efficiency of model change testing.

[0027] The upper clamping mechanism includes an upper clamping drive 2 and an upper clamping guide 5. The power output end of the upper clamping drive 2 and the bottom end of the upper clamping guide 5 are commonly connected to an upper clamping panel 6. The upper clamping guide 5 includes a guide sleeve 5.2 fixed on the upper clamping mechanism. A guide column 5.1 is slidably connected in the guide sleeve 5.2. The upper clamping panel 6 is connected to an upper limit mechanism 3. The upper support mechanism 1 is connected to a limit adjustment mechanism 4 that cooperates with the upper limit mechanism 3. The cooperation between the upper limit mechanism 3 and the limit adjustment mechanism 4 can avoid excessive upper clamping.

[0028] The side drive 11 and the upper pressing drive 2 can adopt a telescopic adjustment drive 4.1 such as a cylinder or an electric push rod, as long as they can achieve linear drive.

[0029] Furthermore, the side pressure plate 10 includes a side rectangular frame 10.1 and a side contact plate 10.2 connected to the side rectangular frame 10.1. The side rectangular frame can ensure the structural strength of the side pressure plate 10, and the side contact plate 10.2 can be used to fit the battery pack to avoid deformation of the battery pack during testing.

[0030] In order to better drive and control the side pressure plate 10, further, a C-shaped frame 12 connected to the side rectangular frame 10.1 is provided at the top of the driving arm 7, which can smoothly drive the side pressure plate 10 to move.

[0031] Furthermore, the upper clamping panel 6 includes an upper clamping rectangular frame 6.2 and an upper clamping contact plate 6.3 connected to the bottom surface of the upper clamping rectangular frame 6.2. The power output end of the upper clamping drive 2 and the bottom end of the upper clamping guide 5 are commonly connected with a connecting plate 6.1, and the connecting plate 6.1 is connected to the top surface of the upper clamping rectangular frame 6.2. The upper clamping rectangular frame 6.2 is used to ensure the structural strength, and the upper clamping contact plate 6.3 is used to fit and clamp the battery pack. At the same time, the setting of the connecting plate 6.1 can make the drive control of the upper clamping panel 6 by the upper clamping drive 2 more stable.

[0032] The thickness of the battery pack is different, and the moving distance of the upper clamping mechanism is also different. Furthermore, the upper limit mechanism 3 includes a limit vertical plate 3.1, which is movably connected to the upper support mechanism 1. The limit vertical plate 3.1 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 3.2 from the top downward, and the positioning holes 3.2 are detachably connected to the limit horizontal plate 3.3. According to actual test needs, the position of the limit horizontal plate 3.3 is adjusted to achieve the limit protection effect.

[0033] Furthermore, the limit adjustment mechanism 4 includes an adjustment drive 4.1 and an adjustment slide rail 4.2 fixed on the upper support mechanism 1. The power output end of the adjustment drive 4.1 is connected to the trapezoidal support block 4.4, and the trapezoidal support block 4.4 is connected to the adjustment slide rail 4.2 through the adjustment slider 4.3. The adjustment drive 4.1 can adopt a telescopic adjustment drive 4.1 such as a cylinder or an electric push rod, which can realize linear drive.

[0034] During use, the battery pack is placed on the test stand 15. The symmetrically positioned side actuators 11 are simultaneously activated, driving the side pressure plates 10 to a designated position to compress the battery pack horizontally. The symmetrically positioned upper pressure actuators 2 are then activated to control the upper pressure plate 6 to a designated position to compress the battery pack vertically. The airtightness test can then begin. During the test, the battery pack will expand, but this is restrained by the side and upper pressure mechanisms, preventing significant deviations in the test results and improving test accuracy.
