DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear and obvious, the utility model is further described in detail below by combining with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0013] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0014] Please see Figs. 1-3 This invention provides a battery pack airtightness testing device according to one embodiment of the present invention, including a frame 101, a top plate 201, a retaining cylinder 202, and a connecting frame 203. The top plate 201 is slidably connected to the frame 101, and a plurality of retaining cylinders 202 are symmetrically arranged at the edge of the top plate 201. The retaining cylinders 202 are rotatably connected to the connecting frame 203 to enable the retaining cylinders 202 to roll on the side wall of the battery pack.

[0015] Regarding the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that the implementation of the above technical solutions is not limited to the specific abutment 202 described in the above embodiments. For example, the abutment 202 should be made of a material with a smooth surface and a certain degree of hardness. The purpose of this setting is to avoid deformation after it comes into contact with the side wall of the battery pack, which would prevent the air holes of the battery pack from being effectively aligned with the air pipe 305. In addition, the side wall of the battery pack used in conjunction with this application should be smooth and flat, with only a raised connecting seam near the bottom.

[0016] Specifically, the connecting frame 203 is slidably connected in the guide cylinder 204, the guide cylinder 204 is fixedly connected to the slide frame 205, the slide frame 205 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 206, and the lead screw 206 is rotatably connected to the top plate 201.

[0017] Regarding the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that the implementation of the above technical solutions is not limited to the specific connecting frame 203 described in the above embodiments. For example, the connecting frame 203 should be provided with a damping rubber strip. The purpose of this arrangement is to increase the damping of the connecting frame 203 sliding in the guide cylinder 204, so that it can slide smoothly.

[0018] Specifically, the sliding frame 205 is slidably connected to the guide rod 207, the guide rod 207 is fixedly connected to the top plate 201, one end of the lead screw 206 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor A209, and the motor A209 is fixedly connected to the top plate 201.

[0019] For the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that when implementing the above technical solutions, it is not limited to the specific motors A209 and 303 described in the above embodiments. For example, both motors A209 and 303 are motors with self-locking effect. The purpose of this setting is to prevent the output shaft from starting to reverse under the action of external force when it is stopped.

[0020] Specifically, a screw 208 is threaded onto the guide cylinder 204. The screw 208 is used to abut against the connecting frame 203, and the surface of the screw 208 that contacts the connecting frame 203 is designed with a sharp protrusion. After the user loosens the screw 208, he can manually pull the connecting frame 203 to adjust the relative height between the abutment cylinder 202 and the top plate 201, thereby making it adaptable to battery packs of various thicknesses.

[0021] For the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that the implementation of the above technical solutions is not limited to the specific connecting frame 203 described in the above embodiments. For example, the connecting frame 203 may be provided with multiple through holes, and the screw 208 can be inserted into the through holes. The purpose of this arrangement is to facilitate the insertion of the screw 208 into the through hole of the connecting frame 203 by rotating it, thereby adjusting the position of the connecting frame 203 on the guide cylinder 204.

[0022] Specifically, one side of the top plate 201 is threadedly connected to the screw 301, the screw 301 is rotatably connected to the frame 101, and one end of the screw 301 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 303, the motor 303 is fixedly connected to the frame 101.

[0023] Regarding the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that the implementation of the above technical solutions is not limited to the specific screw 301 described in the above embodiments. For example, the screw 301 can be a reciprocating lead screw. The purpose of this arrangement is that when the slider connected to the reciprocating lead screw moves to one end, the direction of movement of the slider can be quickly changed by continuing to control the reciprocating lead screw to rotate in the same direction.

[0024] Specifically, the other side of the top plate 201 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 302, and the limiting rod 302 is fixedly connected to the frame 101.

[0025] Regarding the above examples, those skilled in the art should know that the implementation of the above technical solutions is not limited to the specific rack 101 described in the above embodiments. For example, the rack 101 used for placing the battery pack should be provided with a smooth surface. The purpose of this setting is to facilitate the battery pack's inability to slide on the rack 101, thus preventing its position from being adjusted.

[0026] Specifically, an air tightness tester 304 is fixedly connected to the top plate 201, and an air pipe 305 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the air tightness tester 304. The air pipe 305 passes through the pressure pad 306, and the pressure pad 306 is fixedly connected to the top plate 201.

[0027] For the above examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the implementation of the above technical solutions is not limited to the specific air tightness tester 304 described in the above embodiments. For example, the air tightness tester 304 should be a high-precision air tightness tester, specifically, various models such as SS-QMJC-20 / 100K, SS-QMJC-100 / 500K, and SS-QMJC-1 / 140M can be selected. The air tube 305 should fit in close to the air vent on the battery pack. The air tightness tester 304 should maintain an inflation time of about 60 seconds to avoid excessive inflation and impact, and maintain a pressure stabilization time of about 60 seconds to ensure that the pressure is stable before entering the testing stage. The test time should be maintained for 10 seconds to monitor pressure changes. The leakage threshold is usually set to ≤100Pa, that is, a leakage value less than or equal to 100Pa indicates that the battery pack has good air tightness.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, the user places the battery pack on the frame 101. Initially, the battery pack is positioned between multiple abutment cylinders 202. The user then starts the motor 303, causing the screw 301 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 303 to rotate at a constant speed. Since the top plate 201 is threadedly connected to the screw 301, the top plate 201 begins to slide downwards along its connection with the limiting rod 302, gradually fitting the top plate 201 against the battery pack. To prevent the air tube 305 from failing to accurately insert into the air vent of the battery pack, the user should simultaneously start multiple motors A209 as the multiple abutment cylinders 202 pass the top surface of the battery pack. At this time, the lead screw 206 fixedly connected to the output shaft of motor A209 begins to rotate at a constant speed, driving the threaded sliding frame 205 to slide. The multiple sliding frames 205 then slide synchronously towards the center of the top plate 201, causing the multiple abutment cylinders 202 to move synchronously against the sides of the battery pack. The battery pack is centered and positioned by contacting the wall. Since the abutment 202 is rotatably mounted on the connecting frame 203, after the battery pack is positioned by multiple abutment 202s, the abutment 202 can roll on the side wall of the battery pack, thus avoiding interference with the sliding of the top plate 201. At the same time, when the top plate 201 is attached to the battery pack, the multiple abutment 202s should be a certain distance from the protrusion at the bottom of the battery pack. At this time, the air tube 305 is simultaneously inserted into the air hole at the top of the battery pack. Since the air tube 305 is attached to the air hole, it can effectively increase the airtightness of the connection. After the air tube 305 is fully inserted into the air hole at the top of the battery pack, the pressure pad 306 can be pressed against the air hole. Since the diameter of the pressure pad 306 is larger than the diameter of the air tube 305 and the air hole, it can seal them, thereby further preventing air leakage at the connection. At this time, the user can start the airtightness tester 304 to start inflating the battery pack for airtightness testing.
