Detailed Description
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these specific details. In other instances, well-known features have not been described in order to avoid obscuring the invention.
In the following description, a detailed description will be given in order to thoroughly understand the present invention. It is to be understood that these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of these exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. It is apparent that the implementation of the embodiments of the invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, however, the invention is capable of other embodiments in addition to those detailed.
It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of exemplary embodiments according to the invention. As used herein, the singular is intended to include the plural unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
It is to be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", and the like are used herein for purposes of illustration only and are not limiting.
The method for detecting the sealability of the battery of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to coating.
Refer to fig. 1 to 4. The method for detecting the sealability of a battery according to the present invention is preferably applied to a cylindrical battery. The housing 110 of the battery 100 is preferably a steel can.
The detection method comprises the following steps:
s1: the osmotic agent is coated into the case 110 of the battery 100.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, it is preferable that the cylindrical battery 100 is cut in a radial direction, and then the half case 110 is opened upward, and the penetrant is applied thereto. A seal is provided at the seal 130 where the battery case is attached to the cap 120 where leak defects 140 are most likely to occur. It is therefore more preferred that the osmotic agent 150 is coated within the half shell 110 having the seal 130. For ease of viewing, the penetrant may be colored. Preferably, the penetrant is also a fluorescent penetrant, whereby it can be observed more clearly.
Wherein the penetrant can be applied in various ways, such as injection, spraying, brushing, and the like. Preferably by spraying.
S2: housing 110 is brought into contact with developer 210. In this step, a layer of developer 210 may be applied to the outer surface of the respective half-shell, for example by spraying, brushing, or the like, similar to that described above.
Alternatively, the respective half-shell 110 may be at least partially immersed in a container 200 containing a developer 210, in which case a dye penetrant is preferably desired.
S3: waiting for a preset time period to allow the leaked penetrant to react with the developer 210, for example, the preset time period may be 15-30 minutes.
In this process, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the penetrant enters the developer 210 from the leakage, rapidly diffuses and develops a set. Thus, the shape of the leak defect 140 can be fixed, facilitating observation.
Illustratively, when housing 110 is partially immersed in imaging agent 210, osmotic agent 150 permeates down into imaging agent 210 under gravity and capillary action. Then, it will continue to diffuse during the movement until the reaction sets. Thus, in this embodiment, the shaped osmotic agent 160 may take on a shape that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, further magnifying the defect and further facilitating viewing. In addition, the density of the penetrant is preferably greater than that of the developer to facilitate movement thereof.
S4: the information of the leak in the casing 110 is observed and recorded, i.e., the location, shape, size and orientation of the leak defect 140 is observed and recorded to provide data support for subsequent upgrading operations.
In summary, according to the method for detecting the sealing performance of the battery of the present invention, the penetrant 150 is shaped in the developer 210, so that the leakage defect 140 on the case 110 can be magnified and displayed, the sealing performance can be detected quickly and visually, the problems of liquid leakage, short circuit and the like of the finished battery can be avoided, and the safety performance of the battery can be improved.
The flows and steps described in all the preferred embodiments described above are only examples. Unless an adverse effect occurs, various processing operations may be performed in a different order from the order of the above-described flow. The above-mentioned steps of the flow can be added, combined or deleted according to the actual requirement.
Unless defined otherwise, technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. Features described herein in one embodiment may be applied to another embodiment, either alone or in combination with other features, unless the feature is otherwise inapplicable or otherwise stated in the other embodiment.
The present invention has been illustrated by the above embodiments, but it should be understood that the above embodiments are for illustrative and descriptive purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention to the scope of the described embodiments. Furthermore, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and that many variations and modifications may be made in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, which variations and modifications are within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
