Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery pack air tightness testing, and in particular to a pressure-compensated battery pack air tightness testing inflation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the era of rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the battery pack, as its core power source, directly determines the safety, reliability and range of the entire vehicle. Among them, the airtightness of the battery pack is a key factor to ensure its normal operation.

[0003] Existing battery pack airtightness testing typically involves placing the battery pack in a sealed test chamber and then inflating it. When a leak is detected, the battery pack usually needs to be removed and sent to a rework area for adhesive sealing, which consumes a lot of time and labor costs and results in low production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a pressure-compensated battery pack air tightness testing and inflation device that can perform adhesive sealing when battery pack leakage is detected, reduce time delays caused by rework, and improve production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0023] A pressure-compensated battery pack airtightness testing inflation device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the system includes a support frame 1, a support bracket 2, a first motor 3, a first lead screw 4, a placement rack 5, an internal air pressure detector 6, a support guide frame 11, a sealing cover 12, a second multi-stage cylinder 13, a compensation assembly, and a dispensing assembly.

The first motor 3 and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. The first lead screw 4 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 3. The first lead screw 4 is rotatably connected to the support bracket 2. A threaded connection is made to the first lead screw 4. The placement rack 5 is slidably connected to the support frame 2. The left front side of the sealing cover 12 is connected to two internal air pressure detectors 6. The upper inner side of the support frame 1 is connected to the support guide frame 11. The middle of the support guide frame 11 is connected to the second multi-stage cylinder 13. The second multi-stage cylinder 13 and the processor are electrically connected through the control module. The sealing cover 12 is connected to the telescopic end of the second multi-stage cylinder 13. The side of the sealing cover 12 is made of rubber for easy sealing. The right side of the placement rack 5 is provided with a compensation component. The sealing cover 12 is provided with a dispensing component.

[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the compensation assembly includes an air pump 7, a vent valve 71, a first multi-stage cylinder 8, a sealing frame 9, a telescopic tube 10, and an external air pressure detector 18. The air pump 7 is connected to the front right side of the placement frame 5. The air pump 7 is equipped with a pipe. The vent valve 71 is installed on the upper side of the pipe. The first multi-stage cylinder 8 is connected to the lower side of the pipe. The first multi-stage cylinder 8 and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. The sealing frame 9 is connected to the telescopic end of the first multi-stage cylinder 8. The telescopic tube 10 is connected between the sealing frame 9 and the pipe. The telescopic tube 10 is a corrugated pipe for easy extension and retraction. The external air pressure detector 18 is connected to the upper right front side of the sealing cover 12.

[0025] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a dispensing assembly, which includes a sealant storage cylinder 19 and a dispensing frame 20. The sealant storage cylinder 19 is connected to the upper left front part of the sealing cover 12, and the dispensing frame 20 is connected inside the sealing cover 12. The dispensing frame 20 and the sealant storage cylinder 19 are connected through a pump body.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes a connecting frame 14, a second motor 15, a second lead screw 16, and a sealing frame 17. The connecting frame 14 is connected to the upper side of the support frame 1, and the second motor 15 is connected to the lower side of the middle part of the connecting frame 14. The second motor 15 is connected to the support frame 1, and the second motor 15 and the processor are electrically connected through a control module. The second lead screw 16 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 15. The second lead screw 16 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 14. The sealing frame 17 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 16. The sealing frame 17 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 14 and slidably connected to the support guide frame 11. The sealing frame 17 is in contact with the sealing cover 12.

[0027] When using this device, first place the support frame 1 and support bracket 2 in the battery pack airtightness testing area, then place the battery pack in the placement bracket 5. The processor starts the first motor 3 through the control module, driving the first lead screw 4 to rotate, causing the placement bracket 5 to move backward under the action of the thread, so that the placement bracket 5 is located below the sealing cover 12. Then, the processor starts the second multi-stage cylinder 13 through the control module, driving the sealing cover 12 to move downward, so that the sealing cover 12 contacts the placement bracket 5, forming a sealed test chamber between the sealing cover 12 and the placement bracket 5. Next, start the second motor 15, driving the second lead screw 16 to rotate, causing the sealing bracket 17 to move downward under the action of the thread, so that the sealing bracket 17 contacts the sealing cover 12, pressing the side of the sealing cover 12 to seal it, thereby pressing the side of the sealing cover 12 tightly to prevent air leakage during the test. After that, start the first multi-stage cylinder 8, driving the sealing bracket 9 to move backward, and the telescopic tube 10 extends, so that the sealing bracket 9 is inserted into the sealing cover 12. Then start the gas... Pump 7 injects a set amount of gas through a pipeline into the space between the sealing cover 12 and the placement rack 5 to test the airtightness of the battery pack. During the test, the external air pressure is detected by the external air pressure detector 18, and the air pressure between the sealing cover 12 and the placement rack 5 is detected by the internal air pressure detector 6. If the external air pressure increases, the air pump 7 starts to inject air into the space between the sealing cover 12 and the placement rack 5 to compensate. If the external air pressure decreases, the vent valve 71 opens to release air, so that a constant relative pressure difference is maintained between the test chamber and the external environment. This allows for pressure compensation within the test chamber based on changes in external air pressure, avoiding misjudgments and improving test accuracy. When the internal air pressure detector 6 detects a change in the air pressure between the sealing cover 12 and the placement rack 5, it indicates that there is a leak in the battery pack. At this time, the pump starts, allowing the adhesive in the sealant storage cylinder 19 to be discharged onto the battery pack through the dispensing rack 20. This allows for dispensing and sealing when a leak is detected in the battery pack, reducing time delays caused by rework and improving production efficiency.

[0028] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the present invention without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
