Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of new energy vehicle technology, and in particular to a tooling for controlling the drying process by means of temperature and humidity. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the new energy vehicle market, the safety, lifespan, driving range and performance of power batteries have gradually become the focus of consumers' attention. In order to improve battery performance, extend its service life and ensure driving safety, the control of battery operating temperature is particularly important. Among the many battery cooling solutions, liquid cooling technology has gradually become the mainstream due to its large specific heat capacity and high heat transfer coefficient. After the performance test, the water cooling plate of the new energy vehicle has residual water inside, which needs to be removed. The existing process removes the water by passing high-temperature air through one of the water nozzles of the water cooling plate.

[0003] This production process uses high-temperature air entering one side of the water nozzle. After a certain period of time, the temperature at the inlet is high, while the temperature at the outlet is low, resulting in a large temperature difference across the entire water-cooled plate. This can easily create thermal stress and cause the water-cooled plate to deform. Since the high-temperature air only enters from one side of the water nozzle, the temperature drops significantly when it flows to the other side (because the water-cooled plate is a heat dissipation component with good heat dissipation capacity). This makes it difficult to dry the moisture near the water nozzle on the other side, requiring a longer drying time, which increases process time and electricity costs. The next step after drying is airtightness testing. This test is very sensitive to the temperature of the water-cooled plate itself and must be restored to room temperature before testing can be performed. During assembly line operation, special equipment is required to cool it. Because the temperature at the inlet is high, a large amount of cooling is required, and the cooling time is long.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides tooling for controlling the drying process by temperature and humidity to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a tooling for controlling the drying process by means of temperature and humidity, so as to solve the high temperature generated during the drying process of water-cooled plates and at the same time reduce the time of the process.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A tooling for controlling the drying process by temperature and humidity includes a support and a connector. A cylinder is connected to one end of the support, and a slider is connected to the end of the cylinder. Two cylinders are arranged on one side of the slider, and a mounting base is connected to the other end of the cylinders. Three connectors are arranged in a straight line at equal intervals on the mounting base, wherein the connector located in the middle position is connected to an external pressure air source.

[0008] Preferably, all three connectors are disposed through the mounting base, and the inner wall of each connector has a groove for connecting the water nozzle of the water-cooled plate.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing gasket is provided on the inner wall groove of the connector, and a sealing gasket is provided on the end face of the connector.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the bracket is provided with a support, which is located at the bottom of the slider.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the bracket is provided with a groove, and the slider is engaged in the top groove of the bracket.

[0012] Preferably, temperature and humidity sensors are connected through the sidewalls of all three connectors.

[0013] Preferably, the side wall of the bracket is provided with a positioning groove, and a support plate is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the bracket.

[0014] Preferably, the support plate includes a vertical portion and a parallel portion, with the vertical portion of the support plate arranged parallel to the bracket.

[0015] Preferably, a threaded rod passes through the vertical portion of the support plate, and a pressure block is provided at the end of the threaded rod, with a groove formed on the side wall of the pressure block.

[0016] Preferably, a servo motor with a brake is connected to the middle of the side wall of the bracket.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following advantages:

[0018] In the above solution, by setting three joints and adjusting their positions, the temperature of the entire water-cooled plate can be controlled and the drying time can be shortened, thereby improving drying efficiency, avoiding the formation of unilateral high temperature, ensuring uniform temperature distribution of the entire water-cooled plate, and preventing the formation of thermal stress. Due to the timely transfer of hot air inlet, local high temperature will not be formed, and the time required for the entire water-cooled plate to return to room temperature is reduced, which is beneficial to the execution of subsequent processes.

[0019] In the above solution, by setting up a bracket, servo motor, support plate, threaded rod and pressure block, the servo motor drives the bracket to swing to a vertical position. The liquid inside the water-cooled plate is quickly discharged through centrifugal force, so that the water-cooled plate is in a vertical position with the water nozzle facing down, which makes it easier to pour out the liquid inside the water-cooled plate and improves work efficiency.

[0028] 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.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3The tooling shown in this application, which controls the drying process by temperature and humidity, includes a support 1 and a connector 3. The end of the support 1 is connected to a cylinder 101, and the end of the cylinder 101 is connected to a slider 102. Two cylinders 103 are provided on one side of the slider 102, and the other end of the cylinder 103 is connected to a mounting base 2. Three connectors 3 are provided on the mounting base 2 in a straight line and equidistantly distributed, wherein the connector 3 located in the middle position is connected to an external pressure air source.

[0031] In actual use, the water-cooled plate usually includes two water nozzles. The position of the slider 102 is adjusted by the cylinder 101. First, the connector 3 on the left is aligned with the water nozzle on the left side of the water-cooled plate. The distance between two adjacent connectors 3 is the same as the distance between the two water nozzles on the water-cooled plate. Thus, the connector 3 in the middle position can automatically align with the other water nozzle. The connector 3 is controlled to move closer to the water nozzle by the cylinder 103 until the water nozzle and connector 3 are connected. High temperature gas is injected into the connector 3 in the middle position, and the drying effect is achieved by the airflow circulating in the water-cooled plate.

[0032] After the above method has completed the drying of part of the water-cooled plate, cylinder 2 103 drives connector 3 to disengage from the water nozzle. Cylinder 1 101 adjusts the position of connector 3, aligning the middle connector 3 with the water nozzle on the left side of the water-cooled plate, thereby completing the drying of the remaining part and enabling the water-cooled plate to be dried quickly.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-5 As shown, all three connectors 3 are installed through the mounting base 2, and the inner wall of the connector 3 is provided with a groove for connecting the water nozzle of the water-cooled plate.

[0034] The three connectors 3 can change their working positions to control the temperature of the entire water-cooled plate and shorten the drying time. The grooves on the inner wall of the connector 3 enable stable connection with the water nozzle of the water-cooled plate, and the connector 3 is used to fit the water nozzle for precise connection.

[0035] A sealing gasket 301 is provided on the inner wall groove of the connector 3, and a sealing gasket 302 is provided on the end face of the connector 3.

[0036] A seal is achieved by using sealing gasket 301 and sealing gasket 302 to prevent gas leakage and waste of resources.

[0037] A bracket 104 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 1, and the bracket 104 is located at the bottom of the slider 102;

[0038] The bracket 104 supports the slider 102, thereby improving the stability of the slider 102.

[0039] The top of the bracket 104 is provided with a groove, and the slider 102 is engaged in the groove at the top of the bracket 104;

[0040] The groove on the top of the bracket 104 serves to limit and guide the slider 102, ensuring that the slider 102 is in an accurate position.

[0041] Temperature and humidity sensors 303 are connected through the side walls of all three connectors 3;

[0042] The temperature and humidity of the airflow inside the connector 3 are monitored by the temperature and humidity sensor 303, thereby knowing the drying process. Intelligent control can be easily achieved through an external controller.

[0043] The side wall of the bracket 1 is provided with a positioning groove, and a support plate 105 is provided at the middle of the bottom of the bracket 1.

[0044] The water-cooled plate is supported from the bottom by the support plate 105 to maintain a stable connection between the water-cooled plate and the connector 3.

[0045] The support plate 105 includes a vertical part and a parallel part, and the vertical part of the support plate 105 is arranged parallel to the bracket 1.

[0046] The vertical part of the support plate 105 can limit the water-cooled plate in the horizontal direction.

[0047] A threaded rod 106 passes through the vertical part of the support plate 105, and a pressure block 107 is provided at the end of the threaded rod 106. The side wall of the pressure block 107 is provided with a groove.

[0048] The position of the pressure block 107 is adjusted by rotating the threaded rod 106 so that the water-cooled plate enters the positioning groove on one side of the bracket 1, thereby achieving horizontal positioning of the water-cooled plate. The pressure block 107 is designed with a groove that can engage with the corner of the water-cooled plate, thereby preventing the water-cooled plate from moving up and down and maintaining the stability of the water-cooled plate.

[0049] A servo motor 5 with a brake is connected to the middle of the side wall of bracket 1;

[0050] The servo motor 5 is positioned on the external mounting structure and has a transmission relationship with the bracket 1. It is used to drive the bracket 1 to swing. The servo motor 5 drives the bracket 1 to swing to a vertical state, so that the water cooling plate is in a vertical state with the water nozzle facing down, which makes it easy to pour out the liquid inside the water cooling plate.
