The utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and each detail in the specification can be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the utility model. It should be noted that the drawings provided in the following embodiments are only used to explain the basic concept of the utility model, and the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In the embodiment, a battery pack test safety device is disclosed, which comprises a cooling box 1 with an open top, wherein the cooling box 1 is filled with cooling fire extinguishing agent; a battery pack tray 2, which can be flipped relative to the cooling box 1 so that the battery pack 3 carried thereon falls into the cooling box 1; and a driving support assembly 4 arranged below the battery pack tray 2 for supporting the battery pack tray 2 and driving the battery pack tray 2 to complete the flipping action. It can be understood that the cooling fire extinguishing agent can generally be cooling water, and the cooling box 1 can be filled with cooling water or can be used to immerse the battery pack 3; the cooling box 1 can be made of steel plate welding, which is not limited here; the driving support assembly 4 can be a cylinder, an electric telescopic cylinder, an electric supporting rod, etc., which is not limited here, as long as it can push the battery pack tray 2 to complete the flipping; after the battery pack tray 2 is flipped and tilted, the battery pack 3 can fall into the cooling box 1 under the action of gravity.

[0025] The battery pack test safety device in the structural design can make the battery pack 3 quickly slide into the cooling box 1 by turning over the battery pack tray 2 when abnormal conditions such as smoking and fire occur during the battery pack test, and the cooling and fire extinguishing effect is good by using the cooling fire extinguishing agent in the cooling box 1. At the same time, the overall structure is compact and good, and the land occupation area is reduced, without setting a winch device at a remote end by turning over the battery pack tray 2 through the driving support assembly 4 arranged below the battery pack tray 2.

[0026] In the embodiment, a thrust mechanism is further included, which includes a connecting sleeve 5 fixedly installed on a wire harness 301 of the battery pack 3 in use and a first telescopic cylinder 6 arranged on the connecting sleeve 5, and the telescopic end of the first telescopic cylinder 6 faces the battery pack 3. Specifically, the first telescopic cylinder 6 is preferably an electric telescopic cylinder and is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 5 by screw connection or the like. Of course, a gas cylinder or the like can be selected in other embodiments. It can be understood that the wire harness 301 of the battery pack 3 is a high-voltage wire harness, which is generally a relatively hard copper bar or the like, and the connecting sleeve 5 can be fixed on the wire harness 301 by clamping or the like. Since the wire harness 301 is generally connected to the battery pack 3 by a plug in the test, the thrust mechanism is arranged to push the battery pack 3 by controlling the first telescopic cylinder 6 when abnormal conditions such as fire and smoking occur, so that the wire harness 301 is disconnected from the battery pack 3, preventing the battery pack 3 from being unable to slide due to its own gravity or being blocked due to the wire harness 301 not being disconnected from the battery pack 3, and further improving the reliability and safety in use. Of course, it is conceivable that the thrust mechanism is generally arranged away from the cooling box 1 when designed, so as to provide a pushing force for the battery pack 3 to slide to the cooling box 1, which is beneficial to the sliding of the battery pack. In addition, the first telescopic cylinder 6 is designed as two and is fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the connecting sleeve 5, respectively, so as to apply a relatively balanced pushing force to the battery pack 3, avoid damaging the plug of the wire harness 301, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of disconnecting the wire harness 301 from the battery pack 3.
