Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lead-acid battery testing devices, and in particular to a forklift battery tilting and leakage testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Lead-acid batteries (VRLA) are rechargeable batteries whose electrodes are primarily made of lead and its oxides, and whose electrolyte is sulfuric acid solution. In the discharged state, the positive electrode is mainly composed of lead dioxide, and the negative electrode is mainly composed of lead; in the charged state, both the positive and negative electrodes are mainly composed of lead sulfate.

[0003] The national recommended standard GB / T34432-2017, "Safety Specifications for Electric Industrial Vehicles," requires regulations on the safety of electrical systems in electric industrial vehicles (including forklifts). Although it does not directly mention tilt testing, the requirements related to battery installation, securing, and vehicle stability indirectly relate to battery safety under tilt conditions. For example, it requires that battery securing devices prevent battery displacement or detachment during normal vehicle operation and anticipated abnormal operating conditions (such as tilting at a certain angle), ensuring the safety of the vehicle and personnel. The international standard ISO 3691-4:2020, "Safety Requirements and Verification for Industrial Vehicles," also specifies battery performance under tilt conditions to ensure that batteries do not cause short circuits, leaks, or other hazards when the vehicle is tilted.

[0004] According to the aforementioned standards, after the lead-acid batteries for forklifts are manufactured, they need to undergo a tilt test in accordance with national and international standards. However, the current tilt test only involves a slight manual tilt to check for leaks, and then it ends, without continuous testing over a certain period of time.
