[0002] In the production of new energy lithium battery kilns, due to their special structure, the airtightness requirements of these kilns are very high. Currently, in the airtightness testing of lithium battery kilns, corresponding sealing baffles of different sizes and specifications need to be matched. The sealing baffles are not interchangeable, resulting in low availability. As the production volume increases, the production cost also increases. Secondly, the airtightness test takes a long time, and due to the weight of the sealing baffles, the operation is difficult and requires a lot of human resources.

[0003] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a low-cost device for detecting the airtightness of kiln racks. Utility Model Content

The drive unit is fixedly installed on the primary support, and a sealing baffle is installed on the movable end of the drive unit. Both the inner side of the sealing baffle and the stop plate are provided with several sealing strips. The drive unit drives the sealing baffle to reciprocate horizontally. The sealing strips cooperate with the stop plate and the sealing baffle to seal the kiln frame. As the drive unit drives the sealing baffle to move horizontally, the sealing baffle pushes the kiln frame towards the stop plate. When the sealing baffle presses the kiln frame tightly against the stop plate, the sealing strips, in conjunction with the sealing strips, seal the inner cavity of the kiln frame, thereby performing an airtightness test on the kiln frame.

[0006] Furthermore, two slide rails are installed on the support platform, with one end of the slide rail extending horizontally to the bottom of the kiln frame and the other end extending horizontally into the primary support.

[0007] Furthermore, a support base is formed on the outer side of the sealing baffle, and at least two pulleys that slide in cooperation with the slide rail are symmetrically arranged at the bottom end of the support base.

[0008] Furthermore, the kiln frame is externally connected to a vacuum pump.

[0009] Further, the air pressure sensor is used for monitoring the air pressure in the inner cavity of the kiln frame.

[0010] Further, the sealing strip is made of silica gel.

[0011] Further, the sealing baffle and the stop baffle have an outer dimension greater than that of the kiln frame at both ends.

[0012] The utility model has the advantages that:

[0013] Different from the conventional design of the sealing baffle of corresponding size for the kiln frame of each size, the sealing baffle is designed as a movable structure, and the kiln frame is sealed in cooperation with the sealing strip, so that the loss of the kiln frame is reduced.

The preferred embodiments of the utility model are shown in the drawings. However, the utility model can be realized in many different forms, and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. The purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and comprehensive.

[0019] Referring to the drawings Figure 1 , 3As shown, in the embodiment, a device for detecting the air tightness of a kiln frame comprises a first support 1, a second support 2, a bearing table 3, a kiln frame 4 to be tested, and at least one, preferably four, symmetrically arranged driving units 11, wherein the bearing table 3 is located between the first support 1 and the second support 2, and the bottoms of the first support 1 and the second support 2 are fixed to the ground of a workshop; a stop plate 21 is installed on the second support 2, the kiln frame 4 is placed on the bearing table 3, the driving unit 11 is fixedly installed on the first support, and a sealing stop plate 12 is installed on the movable end of the driving unit 11, and a plurality of sealing strips 5 are arranged on the inner side of the sealing stop plate 12 and the stop plate 21; the driving unit 11 is used to drive the sealing stop plate 12 to move back and forth in the horizontal direction, the sealing strips 5 are used to seal the kiln frame 4 in cooperation with the stop plate 21 and the sealing stop plate 12, and the sealing strips 5 are made of silica gel, and the sealing stop plate 12 is driven by the driving unit 11 to move in the horizontal direction, so that the sealing stop plate 12 pushes the kiln frame 4 to move towards the stop plate 21; when the sealing stop plate 12 presses the kiln frame 4 tightly on the stop plate 21, the sealing strips 5 cooperate to make the inner cavity of the kiln frame 4 in a sealed state, so as to test the air tightness of the kiln frame 4; specifically, one driving unit 11 can be arranged at the center position of the first support 1, or four symmetrically arranged driving units 11 can be arranged on the first support 1 (the number of driving units 11 can be selected according to actual needs), the sealing stop plate 12 is driven by the driving unit 11 to press the kiln frame 4 tightly on the stop plate 21, and then the sealing strips 5 on the sealing stop plate 12 and the stop plate 21 further seal the kiln frame 4, wherein the position distribution of the sealing strips 5 arranged on the stop plate 21 and the sealing stop plate 12 is positioned according to the size of the kiln frame 4 to be tested; in addition, by selecting the silica gel sealing strips 5, the damage of the kiln frame 4 caused by the contact between the sealing strips 5 and the kiln frame 4 during the pressing process is avoided under the premise of ensuring the sealing effect, so as to protect the integrity of the kiln frame 4 and reduce the production cost.

[0020] Referring to the drawings Figure 1 , 3As shown, in the embodiment, two slide rails 31 are installed on the bearing table 3, one end of the slide rail 31 extends horizontally to the bottom of the kiln frame 4, and the other end extends horizontally into the first support 1; secondly, the support seat 13 is formed on the outer side of the sealing baffle 12, and the bottom end of the support seat 13 is symmetrically provided with at least two, preferably four, sliding wheels 14 that are in sliding cooperation with the slide rails 31.
