[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0042] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a battery testing cabinet, which includes: a cabinet body 1 and a partition assembly 2.
[0043] The cabinet 1 has a tray 11 for placing at least two batteries 100 to be tested side by side.
[0044] The partition assembly 2 includes a horizontal partition 21 and at least one side partition 22.
[0045] The horizontal partition 21 is located parallel above the support plate 11, and at least one side partition 22 is located between the horizontal partition 21 and the support plate 11, with a side partition 22 provided between two adjacent batteries 100 to be tested; the top end of at least one side partition 22 is connected to the horizontal partition 21, and the bottom end of at least one side partition 22 is connected to the support plate 11.
[0046] In this embodiment of the battery test cabinet, the batteries 100 to be tested can be arranged side by side on the tray 11. The tray 11 has a partition assembly 2 above it. The top of the batteries 100 to be tested is protected by the horizontal partition 21 in the partition assembly 2, and the two adjacent batteries 100 to be tested are protected by the side partition 22 in the partition assembly 2. Thus, when one of the batteries 100 to be tested explodes and catches fire, the surrounding batteries 100 to be tested will not be easily ignited under the protection of the horizontal partition 21 and the side partition 22, which helps to improve the safety level of the battery test cabinet.
[0047] Among some possible implementations, refer to Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple trays 11, which are arranged vertically at intervals inside the cabinet 1. Each tray 11 can be used to place multiple batteries 100 to be tested.
[0048] The multiple batteries 100 to be tested can be protected by one isolation component 2 or by multiple isolation components 2.
[0049] For example, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the size of the battery 100 to be tested on each tray 11 can be the same or different.
[0050] When the size of the battery to be tested 100 on the tray 11 is different, the battery to be tested 100 of different sizes can be protected by partition components 2 with different heights and widths.
[0051] In some other possible implementations, the battery test cabinet also includes a circuit structure, with each battery 100 to be tested electrically connected to the circuit structure, which is used to test the battery 100.
[0052] For example, the circuit structure is used to detect parameters such as current, voltage, capacity, cycle life, lifespan, and internal resistance of the battery 100 under test.
[0053] In some possible implementations, the number of side partitions 22 is the same as the number of batteries 100 to be tested, such that each battery 100 to be tested is isolated and protected by two side partitions 22 on each side.
[0054] In some possible implementations, the width of the partition 21 is greater than the width of the battery 100 to be tested, and the width of the partition 21 is less than or equal to the width of the tray 11, so that the partition 21 can be arranged above the tray 11 and can isolate and protect the top of the battery 100 to be tested.
[0055] Among some possible implementations, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the cabinet 1 is provided with a horizontal slide rail 12, and the tray 11 is slidably connected to the horizontal slide rail 12. The tray 11 can be pulled out toward the outside of the cabinet 1 under the sliding support of the horizontal slide rail 12, which facilitates the loading and unloading of the battery 100 to be tested and facilitates the arrangement of the partition assembly 2.
[0056] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of at least one side partition 22 is detachably connected to the transverse partition 21.
[0057] With the above arrangement, the side partition 22 is detachably connected to the transverse partition 21. The position of the side partition 22 can be adjusted according to the size of the battery 100 to be tested, and side partitions 22 of different heights can also be replaced, so that the partition assembly 2 has better adaptability.
[0058] In some possible implementations, the bottom end of at least one side partition 22 is abutted against the support plate 11, so that the partition assembly 2 formed by the connection of the horizontal partition 21 and the side partition 22 is placed directly above the support plate 11, and the side partition 22 supports and fixes the top horizontal partition 21. The arrangement of the partition assembly 2 is simple and quick.
[0059] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one side partition 22 and the transverse partition 21 are detachably connected by at least one of screw connection, plug connection, and magnetic connection.
[0060] In some possible implementations, the side partition 22 and the transverse partition 21 can be connected from top to bottom by connecting screws 23 to achieve a detachable connection between the two.
[0061] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one side partition 22 is provided with a first magnetic element 221 at its top end, and the transverse partition 21 is provided with a second magnetic element 211, and the first magnetic element 221 and the second magnetic element 211 are magnetically connected.
[0062] With the above arrangement, the side partition 22 can be detachably connected to the transverse partition 21 by utilizing the magnetic effect of the first magnetic component 221 and the second magnetic component 211, making assembly and disassembly more convenient and increasing the reusability.
[0063] For example, the first magnetic element 221 and the second magnetic element 211 are both magnet structures. Alternatively, one of the first magnetic element 221 and the second magnetic element 211 may be a magnet structure, and the other may be a magnetic metal structure.
[0064] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first magnetic element 221 is embedded on the top surface of at least one side partition 22 facing the transverse partition 21, and / or the first magnetic element 221 is attached to two sides of the top of at least one side partition 22.
[0065] In this embodiment, the side partition 22 can be magnetically connected to the transverse partition 21 using the first magnetic element 221. The first magnetic element 221 can be embedded on the top surface of the side partition 22 or attached to the two sides of the side partition 22, which has a variety of different arrangement schemes, which helps to simplify the processing difficulty of the side partition 22.
[0066] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, there are multiple second magnetic elements 211, which are spaced apart and embedded on the bottom surface of the transverse partition 21 facing at least one side partition 22.
[0067] With the above arrangement, multiple second magnetic elements 211 are embedded at intervals on the ground of the transverse partition 21, so that the side partition 22 can be magnetically connected by different second magnetic elements 211, which has more position options and can select the appropriate magnetic position according to the different sizes of the battery to be tested 100, making it more adaptable.
[0068] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the transverse partition 21 and at least one side partition 22 are fire-resistant materials.
[0069] In this embodiment, the transverse partition 21 and the side partition 22 are made of fireproof materials, which can effectively prevent the test battery 100 from exploding and catching fire and igniting other test batteries 100 around it.
[0070] For example, the transverse partition 21 and the side partition 22 are made of polyvinyl chloride sheets, which have both fire resistance and structural strength.
[0071] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one side partition 22 is detachably connected to the bottom end of the support plate 11.
[0072] With the above arrangement, the bottom end of the side partition 22 and the support plate 11 are detachably connected, which can improve the connection strength between the side partition 22 and the support plate 11, thereby improving the connection reliability between the partition assembly 2 and the support plate 11, and can resist the impact generated when the battery under test 100 explodes and catches fire.
[0073] In some possible implementations, the detachable connection between the side partition 22 and the support plate 11 is at least one of screw connection, plug connection, and magnetic connection.
[0074] For example, the tray 11 is a ferromagnetic metal plate, and a third magnetic element 222 is embedded in the bottom surface of the side partition 22. The third magnetic element 222 can be attracted and connected to the tray 11, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the side partition 22 and the tray 11.
[0075] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the battery test cabinet also includes a fire extinguishing assembly 3; the fire extinguishing assembly 3 includes a fire extinguishing agent storage tank 31, a controller 32, at least two detectors 33 and at least two fire extinguishing nozzles 34.
[0076] The extinguishing agent storage tank 31 is connected to at least two extinguishing nozzles 34, and each extinguishing nozzle 34 corresponds to a battery 100 to be tested.
[0077] The controller 32 is electrically connected to the extinguishing agent storage tank 31 and at least two detectors 33, each detector 33 corresponding to a battery 100 to be tested.
[0078] With the above arrangement, the battery test cabinet can use the detector 33 to detect the status of the battery 100 under test one by one. Once a fire is detected in a battery 100 under test, a fire signal will be sent to the controller 32. The controller 32 controls the fire extinguishing agent storage tank 31 to supply fire extinguishing agent to the fire extinguishing nozzle 34 corresponding to the battery 100 under test. The fire extinguishing nozzle 34 sprays the fire extinguishing agent onto the battery 100 under test, so as to control the fire in time and prevent the fire from spreading.
[0079] In some possible implementations, the extinguishing agents stored in the extinguishing agent storage tank 31 include, but are not limited to, sodium chloride-based Class D extinguishing agents, water-based extinguishing agents, carbon dioxide extinguishing agents, etc.
[0080] For example, each fire extinguishing nozzle 34 is connected to the fire extinguishing agent storage tank 31 via a delivery pipe.
[0081] In some other possible implementations, detector 33 may include smoke detectors (e.g., ionization smoke detectors, photoelectric smoke detectors, infrared beam smoke detectors, etc.) and flame detectors (e.g., ultraviolet / infrared hybrid flame detectors, photoelectric flame detectors).
[0082] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the fire extinguishing nozzle 34 and the detector 33 are located on the diaphragm 21 and above each battery 100 to be tested.
[0083] In this embodiment, the fire extinguishing nozzle 34 and the detector 33 can be arranged on the transverse partition 21 so that they are directly above each battery 100 to be tested. Once a fire occurs in the battery 100 to be tested, the fire extinguishing agent can be sprayed immediately.
