[0031] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following description is given in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 A test box safety protection mechanism includes a protective door 1 and a box body 2. In the horizontal direction, the protective door 1 is hinged to the box body 2 so that the protective door 1 can be flipped in the horizontal direction. The safety protection mechanism includes an explosion-proof chain 3, a locking assembly 4, and a fixing member 5. One end of the explosion-proof chain 3 is detachably connected to the protective door 1, and the other end of the explosion-proof chain 3 is detachably connected to the box body 2 or an adjacent protective door 1. The locking assembly 4 is relatively rotatably connected to the protective door 1. The fixing member 5 is connected to the box body 2, and at least one fixing member 5 is provided in the height direction of the box body 2. The two ends of the locking assembly 4 in the axial direction can be locked or separated with a corresponding fixing member 5 respectively. Specifically, in the height direction of the box body 2, a fixing member 5 should be provided on both sides of each protective door 1. Preferably, in the horizontal direction, there are two protective doors 1, and the two protective doors 1 are symmetrically arranged. Accordingly, each protective door 1 is provided with a locking assembly 4, and the two ends of the explosion-proof chain 3 are respectively connected to a corresponding protective door 1. Preferably, each protective door 1 is provided with two explosion-proof chains 3 in the height direction, and the explosion-proof chains 3 are detachably connected to the locking ring on the protective door 1 through a lock buckle.

[0033] It is understood that by providing the locking assembly 4 and the fixing member 5, both sides of the protective door 1 are locked and limited in the height direction of the box body 2, thereby improving the connection tightness between the protective door 1 and the box body 2. Compared with the prior art, the safety protection level is improved. In addition, the explosion-proof chain 3 is provided. When the battery in the box body 2 explodes, due to the limitation of the explosion-proof chain 3, even if the locking assembly 4 is forcibly destroyed by the protective door 1, the opening angle of the protective door 1 can be limited to avoid damage to other objects and personnel in the adjacent space. Under the joint action of the explosion-proof chain 3, the locking assembly 4 and the fixing member 5, the utility model jointly improves the safety protection level of the test box.

[0034] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 4 includes a locking rod 41, a latch assembly 42, and a locking hook 43. A locking hook 43 is provided at each axial end of the locking rod 41, which is in transmission connection with the locking rod 41 and can engage or disengage with the fixing member 5. The latch assembly 42 is hingedly connected to the locking rod 41. The latch assembly 42 has a stopper end, which presses against the protective door 1 when the lock hook 43 is separated from the fixing member 5. The latch assembly 42 cooperates with the locking rod 41 to simultaneously drive the two lock hooks 43 to engage or disengage with the corresponding fixing member 5, thereby locking and unlocking the lock hooks 43, making operation easier. A groove is defined on the side of the fixing member 5 opposite the lock hook 43, into which the lock hook 43 can engage to achieve locking. The locking rod 41 is mounted on the protective door 1 via multiple fixing seats 44, so that a gap exists between the circumferential sidewalls of the locking rod 41 and the protective door 1, providing sufficient space for the lock hook 43 to flip.

[0035] In some embodiments, the lock assembly 42 includes a hinge 421, a wrench assembly 422, a transmission member 423, and a limit block 424; the transmission member 423 is in transmission connection with the locking rod 41; the limit block 424 is located at the limit end of the lock assembly 42; the fixed end of the wrench assembly 422 is connected to the protective door 1, and the movable end of the wrench assembly 422 is hinged to the hinged end of the transmission member 423 via the hinge 421; the limit block 424 is connected to the limit end of the transmission member 423. The limit block 424 is provided to limit the turning range of the wrench assembly 422, while the transmission member 423 is provided to transmit the movement of the wrench assembly 422 to the locking rod 41, thereby driving the lock hook 43 to rotate, achieving linkage and improving transmission reliability.

[0036] In some embodiments, the wrench assembly 422 includes a wrench body 4221 and a hinge seat 4222. The hinge seat 4222 is connected to the protective door 1, and the wrench body 4221 is hingedly connected to the hinge seat 4222. The wrench body is hingedly connected to the hinge member 421 near the hinge seat 4222. The provision of the hinge seat 4222 provides a fulcrum for the rotation of the wrench body 4221 and the hinge member 421, thereby enabling the locking rod 41 to rotate relative to the protective door 1.

[0037] In some embodiments, a clearance space is formed between the wrench body 4221 and the hinge seat 4222 for the hinge 421 to move. The clearance space is formed to provide a storage space for the hinge 421 and to provide a movable space for the hinge 421 when the hinge 421 rotates to avoid movement interference.

[0038] In some embodiments, the transmission member 423 includes a sleeve 4231 and a hinge block 4232; the hinge block 4232 and the stop block 424 are respectively connected to the circumferential sidewalls of the sleeve 4231. Preferably, the sleeve 4231, the hinge block 4232, and the stop block 424 are integrally formed. The hinge block 4232 is located at the hinge end of the transmission member 423, the stop block 424 is located at the stop end of the transmission member 423, and the sleeve 4231 is in driving connection with the locking rod 41.

[0039] In some embodiments, in the axial projection area of ​​the locking rod 41, an angle of 70° to 100° is formed between the hinged end of the transmission member 423 and the limit block 424, that is, the angle formed between two adjacent planes of the limit block 424 and the hinge block 4232. Preferably, the angle is 90°.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0041] Taking the locking assembly 4 on the right side of the accompanying drawings as an example, after closing the protective door 1, flip the wrench assembly 422 so that the wrench assembly 422 flips counterclockwise. At this time, the limit block 424 releases the pressure on the protective door 1 and gradually moves away from the protective door 1. The wrench assembly 422 drives the hinge 421 to rotate, and the hinge 421 drives the transmission member 423 to rotate. At this time, the locking rod 41 and the lock hook 43 rotate synchronously, and the lock hook 43 gradually embeds into the groove of the fixing member 5. When the wrench assembly 422 moves to the end, the lock hook 43 presses against the groove of the fixing member 5 to complete the locking, and vice versa, it is an unlocking action;

[0042] When the locking assembly 4 is locked, the two ends of the explosion-proof chain 3 are connected to the two protective doors 1 respectively.

[0043] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent transformations made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in the relevant technical field, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
