Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of airtightness testing technology for new energy vehicle motors, specifically to an airtightness testing device for new energy vehicle batteries. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use new power systems and are driven entirely or primarily by new energy sources. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, they have the characteristics of energy saving, environmental protection, and high efficiency. During use, new energy vehicles can significantly reduce the emission of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter compared with traditional fuel vehicles, which helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and reduce environmental pollution.

[0003] Most new energy vehicles currently use batteries for power. Therefore, after the batteries are manufactured, their airtightness needs to be tested. This is typically done using battery airtightness testing devices. Most current devices use the differential pressure method, which determines the presence and extent of leaks by detecting changes in the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the tested object. However, this method can only detect leaks of a certain magnitude. For minute leaks, the pressure change is not significant, making accurate detection difficult and impractical. Therefore, to address these issues, a new energy vehicle battery airtightness testing device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the protective plate is positioned outside the detection channel, and the cover plate is positioned on the upper side of the transparent detection box. When the cylinder rises, the block will move out of the transparent detection box, facilitating the placement of the battery into the transparent detection box.

[0009] Preferably, the movable mechanism includes a handrail fixedly connected to one side of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector body.

[0012] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a convenient detection mechanism, allows the battery pack to be filled with helium.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 A new energy vehicle battery airtightness testing device includes a helium mass spectrometer leak detector body 1, a portable mechanism, and a stabilizing mechanism. A portable testing mechanism is located on one side of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector body 1. This mechanism includes a testing channel 2, a transparent testing box 3 fixedly connected to one side of the testing channel 2, a reinforcing frame 4 fixedly connected to the outside of the transparent testing box 3, mounting plates 5 fixedly connected to both sides of the reinforcing frame 4, a cylinder 6 fixedly mounted on the lower side of the mounting plate 5, a cover plate 7 fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 6, and a blocking block 8 fixedly connected to the lower side of the cover plate 7. Several reinforcing frames 4 are provided. The transparent testing box 3 is made of glass. The testing channel 2 connects to the output of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector body 1. The output end is fixedly connected. The transparent testing box 3 is made of glass, which allows the testing personnel to directly observe the state of the battery during the testing process. The reinforcing frame 4 reinforces the transparent testing box 3 to ensure its structural strength. Four mounting plates 5 and cylinders 6 are respectively set on both sides of the testing box. The cylinders 6 drive the lifting and lowering of the cover plate 7 and the block 8 to realize the rapid sealing and opening of the transparent testing box 3, which is convenient for the insertion and removal of the battery. The rubber ring 10 on the outside of the block 8 cooperates with the rubber ring 11 on the upper side of the transparent testing box 3 to effectively ensure the sealing of the transparent testing box 3, prevent helium leakage, and ensure the accuracy of the test results. The helium mass spectrometry leak detection method is used to achieve accurate detection of tiny leaks.

[0020] In one aspect of this embodiment, the protective sheet 9 can protect the detection channel 2 from damage caused by external impacts, friction, or other factors, maintaining the integrity and stability of the detection gas path between the helium mass spectrometer leak detector body 1 and the transparent detection box 3. This ensures the normal operation of the detection process and reduces detection errors or equipment malfunctions caused by damage to the detection channel 2. When the cylinder 6 drives the cover plate 7 and the plug 8 to descend, the rubber ring 10 and the rubber ring 11 fit tightly together, forming a good sealing structure. This design effectively prevents helium leakage inside the transparent detection box 3, ensuring the airtightness of the detection environment. Because helium mass spectrometry leak detection relies on the detection of helium leaks, a large leakage of helium will affect the accuracy of the detection, making it impossible to accurately determine the airtightness of the battery. The sealing effect of the rubber ring 10 and the rubber ring 11 ensures that the helium mass spectrometer leak detector body 1 can accurately detect the helium leaking from the battery, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the detection results.

[0021] In one aspect of this embodiment, the movable mechanism composed of the handrail 12, the first caster wheel 13, the fixed plate 14, the guide column 15, and the second caster wheel 16 enables the testing device to be easily moved between different testing sites, improving the flexibility and convenience of the device and meeting the needs of multi-site testing in actual production. The first caster wheel 13 and the second caster wheel 16 are set at the same horizontal level, and together with the testing channel 2, they connect the helium mass spectrometer leak detector body 1 to the transparent testing box 3, ensuring structural stability during device movement. The four stabilizing mechanisms set at the four corners under the fixed plate 14 drive the vacuum pump 18 and the suction cup 19 through the electric push rod 17. During testing, the suction cup 19 adheres to the ground, enhancing the stability of the device and avoiding the impact of device shaking on the test results. Compared with traditional testing devices, this design effectively improves the reliability and accuracy of the test.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this new energy vehicle battery airtightness testing device, to test the airtightness of the new energy vehicle battery, firstly, cylinder 6 is operated. Cylinder 6 drives the cover plate 7 and the plug 8 to rise, causing the plug 8 to move out of the transparent testing box 3. At this time, the battery filled with helium is placed into the transparent testing box 3. Subsequently, cylinder 6 is operated again, driving the cover plate 7 and the plug 8 to fall. The rubber ring 10 on the outside of the plug 8 is tightly fitted with the rubber ring 11 on the upper side of the transparent testing box 3, sealing the transparent testing box 3. The helium mass spectrometer leak detector body 1 is connected to the transparent testing box 3 through the detection channel 2. The helium mass spectrometer leak detector body 1 starts to work, detecting the leakage of helium in the transparent testing box 3. If there is a leak in the battery, helium will leak out, which the helium mass spectrometer leak detector body 1 can accurately detect, and the airtightness performance of the battery can be judged based on the detection data. When it is necessary to move the testing device, the helium mass spectrometer leak detector body 1 can be pushed by the handle 12, and the first universal wheel 13 and the second universal wheel 16 can make the device move flexibly. Upon reaching the detection position, the electric push rod 17 is activated. The electric push rod 17 drives the vacuum pump 18 and suction cup 19 to descend. After the suction cup 19 contacts the ground, the vacuum pump 18 operates, causing the suction cup 19 to adhere to the ground, enhancing the stability of the device and ensuring that the detection process is not affected by external interference. All electrical equipment in this solution is powered by an external power source.

[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
