[0032] The disclosure below provides many different implementations or examples to implement different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeatedly refer to numbers and / or letters in different examples, and such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, which itself does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize that other products can be used in the implementation of the water immersion test.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1-4 The water immersion test device for the battery Pack box of the present application comprises a lifting hook 1, a lifting tool 2, a water immersion tank 3, a steel wire rope hanging rack 4, a steel wire rope 5, a steel wire rope fixing tool 6, a fixed pulley 7, a bottom channel steel 8, a battery Pack box liquid cooling bottom plate 9, a water tank steel rack base 10, and a battery Pack box upper shell 11.

[0034] The battery Pack box liquid cooling bottom plate 9 and the battery Pack box upper shell 11 constitute a closed battery Pack box, which serves as a test sample. The battery Pack box liquid cooling bottom plate 9 is located at the bottom of the battery Pack box upper shell 11. The battery Pack box liquid cooling bottom plate 9 is provided with a steel wire rope fixing tool 6 at each of the four corners at the bottom.

[0035] The lifting hook 1, the lifting tool 2, and the steel wire rope 5 are connected. The top of the lifting hook 1 can be connected with an electric hoist. The electric hoist controls the lifting and sinking of the battery Pack box, and provides power for the water movement of the battery Pack box.

[0036] The lifting tool 2 is a rod-shaped structure arranged front and back. The lifting tool 2 is provided with a hanging ear at the center. The lifting hook 1 is connected by passing through the hanging ear and the lifting tool 2. The lifting tool 2 is provided with a protrusion at both ends. The two steel wire ropes 5 are located between the two protrusions, preventing the steel wire ropes 5 from detaching from the lifting tool 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, a limiting groove is provided on the protrusion. The two steel wire ropes 5 are placed in the limiting groove. The limiting groove prevents the steel wire ropes 5 from sliding axially along the lifting tool 2.

[0038] The two bottom channel steels 8 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the water immersion tank 3. Two fixed pulleys 7 are arranged on each bottom channel steel 8 at intervals.

[0039] The two ends of the steel wire rope 5 pass horizontally through the two opposite fixed pulleys 7 and are then connected to two steel wire rope fixing fixtures 6 at the bottom of the liquid-cooled base plate 9 of the battery pack box. The two steel wire ropes 5 are set in parallel. In order to facilitate the replacement of empty battery pack boxes, both ends of the steel wire rope 5 can be equipped with hooks. The steel wire rope fixing fixtures 6 adopt hanging rings. The speed of connection and disassembly is improved by the cooperation of hooks and hanging rings.

[0040] Steel wire rope racks 4 are installed on both sides of the immersion tank 3. When no immersion test is performed, the ends of the steel wire ropes 5 are placed or hung on the steel wire rope racks 4 for easy access next time.

[0041] The spacing between the two protrusions of the hoisting fixture 2, the spacing between the two fixed pulleys 7 on the bottom channel steel 8, and the spacing between the two wire rope fixing fixtures 6 on the same side of the bottom of the liquid-cooled base plate 9 of the battery pack box are equal.

[0042] The fixed pulley 7 converts the upward tension of the hoisting wire rope 5 into a downward tension on the liquid-cooled base plate 9 of the battery pack box, in order to overcome the buoyancy of the water on the empty battery pack box.

[0043] Before the immersion test, the steel frame base 10 of the water tank is suspended and placed at the bottom of the immersion tank 3. The legs of the steel frame base 10 are equipped with four-position length adjustment rods, and the height is adjustable in four positions, ranging from 30cm to 70cm. By adjusting the height of the steel frame base 10, it can accommodate empty battery packs of different sizes, ensuring that the liquid-cooled base plate 9 of the battery pack can be immersed in water for at least 1m. The upper surface of the steel frame base 10 is 20cm higher than the upper surface of the bottom channel steel 8, ensuring that after the liquid-cooled base plate 9 of the battery pack is placed on the steel frame base 10, the steel wire rope 5 can still exert sufficient tension on the liquid-cooled base plate 9 of the battery pack.

[0044] In practice, the empty battery pack box must first be transferred to the surface of the immersion tank 3. This transfer to the immersion tank 3 will utilize additional tooling and fixtures.

[0045] The implementation details are irrelevant to the core of this utility model and will not be described in detail.

[0046] After the empty battery pack is transferred to the water surface of the immersion tank 3, two steel wire ropes 5 are used to secure the liquid-cooled base plate 9 of the battery pack by connecting four steel wire rope fixing fixtures 6 at each end. The steel wire ropes 5 are hung horizontally on the lifting fixture 2 and can be adjusted left and right to maintain balance.

[0047] Remove empty battery pack and transfer tool

[0048] The empty battery pack floats on the water surface in the immersion tank 3. The hook 1 is slowly raised, so that the empty battery pack overcomes the buoyancy of the water under the action of downward pull and slowly enters the water.

[0049] The empty battery Pack box is finally landed on the water tank steel frame base 10 under the action of downward pulling force, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The liquid cooling bottom plate 9 of the battery Pack box is not less than 1m away from the water surface of the water tank 3 at this time.

[0050] When the water immersion time is greater than 30min according to the IPX7 test requirement, the water immersion test is completed. The hook 1 can be slowly lowered, and the empty battery Pack box is gradually floated to the water surface under the action of buoyancy.

[0051] During the whole water immersion test, no other external force appliance is used to exert mechanical force on the upper shell 11 of the battery Pack box, which will not affect the structure and waterproof performance. No drainage and water injection operation is needed in the water tank 3 before and after the water immersion test, which saves the test time, electric energy and water resources.

[0052] In addition, the device adjusts the pulling force direction, and is also suitable for the water immersion test of the test sample with self weight sufficient to overcome the water buoyancy after installing the hanging device mesh plate. Such conventional test has no technical difficulty and is irrelevant to the core of the utility model, and is not described in detail.

[0053] The empty battery Pack box water immersion test device independently developed by the utility model grasps the core elements of the battery Pack box water immersion test, uses the empty battery Pack box for water immersion test, avoids the huge test cost caused by the use of complete battery Pack box, overcomes the influence of the battery Pack box buoyancy under the condition that the shell is not damaged, and realizes the water immersion test. The test device is realized by using the simplest, easily obtained and cheap accessories, and does not need complex operation, and is also widely suitable for the empty box water immersion performance test of other products. The water in the water tank 3 can be repeatedly used, the test time is shortened, and unnecessary electric energy and water resource waste is reduced. The device is also suitable for IPX7 and IPX8 water immersion test of various products.

[0054] The above-mentioned sequence numbers of the embodiments of the application are only for description, and do not represent the advantages and disadvantages of the embodiments.
