Currently, the application of power batteries is more widespread from the development of market situation. The power battery is not only applied to energy storage power supply systems such as hydraulic power, firepower, wind power and solar power stations, but also widely applied to electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric automobiles and the like, and various fields such as aerospace and the like. With the continuous expansion of the application field of the power battery, the market demand of the power battery is also continuously expanding.
In the related art, a battery stores or releases corresponding electric energy by means of an internal electrochemical reaction; harmful gas is easily generated in the electrochemical reaction process, and is blocked in the internal space through the battery, so that leakage is prevented. The air tightness of the battery connection gap is one of the key factors affecting the performance and life of the product. Especially in the mass production of batteries, it is often necessary to detect whether there is leakage in the battery to ensure the quality of the battery.
The current design generally adopts a detection cover to cover the battery, is externally connected to large-scale negative pressure equipment, and utilizes the gas on the negative pressure suction box body to sniff and detect the connecting joint on the battery; in the detected gap, the large negative pressure equipment cannot be turned off at will, so that the detection cover is always in an air extraction state; in the current industrial field, the gas components in the external environment are complex and unstable, the detection probes in the detection cover are easily interfered when the detection probes in the open environment are exposed for a long time, a large amount of interference gas in the external environment can be adsorbed, so that the detection errors of the detection probes are large, the stability is poor, the passivation rate is accelerated, the service life is shortened, and the maintenance cost is increased.
In order to improve the situation, a blowing device can be artificially added on the design of the detection cover, so that the interference gas in the external environment is reduced from entering the detection cover; the method and the device improve the detection precision of the detection probe, effectively slow down the passivation rate of the detection probe, prolong the service life and reduce the maintenance cost.
