Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery pressure sealing test technology, specifically a sodium battery pressure sealing test device. Background Technology

[0002] Sodium batteries, as a novel energy storage device, have shown broad application prospects in large-scale energy storage, low-speed electric vehicles, and backup power supplies due to the advantages of abundant sodium resources, low cost, and excellent high and low temperature performance. Their core structure includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte, and a sealed casing. The sealing performance of the casing directly affects the battery's safety and lifespan. If there are micro-cracks or leaks, moisture and oxygen from the air will seep into the battery and react with the electrolyte, leading to capacity decay. Simultaneously, if gas generated inside the battery leaks, its accumulation in a confined space may pose an explosion risk, especially in large-scale applications such as energy storage power stations, where the hazards of sealing failure are even more pronounced.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent application number 202421097616.0 discloses a battery sealing performance testing device. This device involves placing a battery body on top of a support plate, with an injection hole on one side of the battery body. A connecting pipe is installed inside the injection hole, and a fixing pipe is installed at the other end of the connecting pipe. A vacuum pump is installed on top of the support plate, and the other end of the fixing pipe is mounted on the outer surface of the vacuum pump. A control valve and a pressure gauge are installed on the outer surface of the connecting pipe. The vacuum pump extracts air from inside the battery body. After closing the control valve, the operator observes the pressure gauge for a period of time. If the pressure gauge does not change after a period of time, the battery body has good sealing performance, making battery sealing performance testing more convenient. However, this device still has certain shortcomings. It is inconvenient to mark batteries that do not meet the sealing requirements, which can easily lead to defective products being mixed with qualified products, increasing the difficulty of subsequent sorting and rework, and seriously affecting the production efficiency and product quality of sodium batteries.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a sodium battery pressure sealing test device to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

The Z-shaped clamping blocks 8 slide along the first guide rod 9 under the drive of the threaded rods 7, clamping the sodium battery body 5 from both sides. The first guide rod 9 restricts the displacement direction of the clamping blocks 8 to ensure a smooth clamping process and prevent the sodium battery body 5 from shifting and affecting the sealing connection.

[0025] A vacuum pump 10 is installed above the support frame 2, and a connecting box 14 is installed below the support frame 2 via an electric telescopic rod 13. A vacuum tube 11 is installed on the left side of the vacuum pump 10, and a pressure gauge 12 is installed on the vacuum tube 11. The lower end of the vacuum tube 11 is connected to the connecting box 14. A sealing connector 15 is located directly above the liquid injection port 6. The vacuum pump 10 extracts gas from the inside of the sodium battery body 5 through the vacuum tube 11. The pressure gauge 12 displays the internal pressure changes in real time. The sealing connector 15 is aligned with the liquid injection port 6, and the connection box 14 is connected to the vacuum pump 10. 4 is connected to the vacuum tube 11 to form a closed air extraction channel. The airtightness is judged by whether the air pressure is stable. A sealing connector 15 is installed at the bottom of the connecting box 14. The sealing connector 15 has a sealing sleeve inside. The sealing connector 15 is fitted onto the liquid injection port 6. The sealing sleeve inside the sealing connector 15 fits tightly when fitted onto the liquid injection port 6, enhancing the airtightness of the connection and preventing air leakage during air extraction or pressure holding, ensuring accurate air pressure test results. A connecting frame 16 is installed on the front surface of the connecting box 14. The inner part of the connecting frame 16... A drive shaft 17 is mounted on the part via a bearing housing. A small forward / reverse motor 19 is mounted on the front surface of the connecting frame 16. The rear side of the small forward / reverse motor 19 is connected to the drive shaft 17 via an output shaft. The small forward / reverse motor 19 inside the connecting frame 16 drives the drive shaft 17 to rotate, and the drive shaft 17 drives the gear 18 to rotate, providing power to the marking mechanism and realizing the lifting and lowering control of the marking block 23. A gear 18 is mounted on the drive shaft 17, and a rack 20 is mounted on the left side of the gear 18. The rack 20 and the gear 18 mesh with each other. A fixing block 21 is installed on the upper left side of the rack 20, and a second guide rod 22 is installed above the connecting frame 16. The fixing block 21 is slidably connected to the second guide rod 22. A marking block 23 is installed at the lower end of the rack 20. The gear 18 meshes with the rack 20 for transmission. When the gear 18 rotates, it drives the rack 20 to move up and down. The fixing block 21 slides along the second guide rod 22 to ensure that the rack 20 rises and falls vertically. The marking block 23 at the lower end of the rack 20 descends when the sealing is not up to standard to mark the sodium battery body 5 for subsequent sorting.

[0026] Example 2 Please see Figure 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sodium battery pressure sealing test device, including an anti-slip pad 4. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is: An anti-slip pad 4 is installed on the upper surface of the placement platform 3. The anti-slip pad 4 is detachably connected to the placement platform 3. The anti-slip pad 4 on the placement platform 3 directly contacts the sodium battery body 5, increasing friction to prevent the sodium battery body 5 from sliding during testing. The anti-slip pad 4 is detachable for easy cleaning or replacement, ensuring stable anti-slip effect.

[0027] It should be noted that the rack 20 in this application is limited by the second guide rod 22.

For example, a slot can be made inside the connecting frame 16, and a slider can be set on the rack 20 to slide and connect with the slot. This part of the structure is simple, so it will not be described in detail.

[0028] Working principle: When using this sodium battery air pressure sealing test device, first, place the sodium battery body 5 on the placement platform 3 above the workbench 1, start the electric telescopic rod 13 on the support frame 2 to drive the connecting box 14 and the sealing connector 15 below to descend, so that the liquid injection port 6 on the sodium battery body 5 is aligned with the sealing connector 15. Rotate the threaded rods 7 on both sides of the placement platform 3 to drive the Z-shaped clamping block 8 to slide down along the first guide rod 9 to clamp the sodium battery body 5, ensuring that the position of the sodium battery body 5 is stable during the test.

[0029] The sealing connector 15 descends, allowing it to precisely fit onto the liquid injection port 6 of the sodium battery body 5. The internal sealing sleeve tightly fits the liquid injection port 6, ensuring the airtightness of the connection.

[0030] Turn on the vacuum pump 10 above the support frame 2 to extract the gas inside the sodium battery body 5 through the vacuum tube 11 and the connecting box 14. The pressure gauge 12 on the vacuum tube 11 monitors the internal pressure change in real time. After a period of time, if the pressure gauge 12 shows that the pressure is stable, it means that the sodium battery body 5 is well sealed; if the pressure drops, it is judged that the sealing is unqualified.

[0031] When a defect is detected, the small forward and reverse motor 19 on the connecting frame 16 starts, driving the transmission shaft 17 to rotate via the output shaft. The gear 18 on the transmission shaft 17 meshes with the rack 20, causing the rack 20 to move downwards along the second guide rod 22. The marking block 23 at the lower end of the rack 20 contacts the surface of the sodium battery body 5 and leaves a mark, facilitating subsequent sorting. After the inspection is completed, the components are reversed to reset, and the sodium battery body 5 can be removed, thus completing a series of operations. Content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] Although the present invention 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 the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
