The invention belongs to the technical field of battery collision
safety testing, and particularly relates to a high-speed horizontal
impact experiment device for automotive
lithium ion batteries. The device comprises an electromagnetic rail gun launching device and a hanging horizontal
impact table which are fixed on the ground, the launching centre of a
projectile is coincided with the center of a three-jaw chuck, the electromagnetic rail gun launching device drives the
projectile to accelerate by the aid of
mechanical energy transformed by electromagnetic energy, the size and the shape of the
projectile can be adjusted, the speed and the
kinetic energy of the projectile can be accurately controlled, the three-jaw chuck is mounted on the hanging horizontal
impact table and used for fixing the batteries, the impact table can arbitrarily rotate, and multi-angle impact working conditions can be achieved. The device is convenient and safe to operate, good in experimental
repeatability and accurate and reliable in detection result, the
impact energy and
speed accuracy can be controlled, a series of change of mechanical, electrical and thermal performances can be quantitatively researched when the batteries are subjected to high-speed impact, and
thermal runaway mechanisms after the batteries are subjected to high-speed impact are acquired.
