In the rapidly evolving landscape of electric vehicles (EVs), the
reliability and safety of EV batteries are of paramount importance.
Our specialized Large Vibration Table equipped with a Slip Table
has been meticulously designed to perform comprehensive vibration
testing on EV batteries, offering a crucial solution for ensuring
the durability and performance of these vital power sources.
1. The Significance of Vibration Testing for EV Batteries
EV batteries are subjected to a wide range of vibrations during
vehicle operation. Road irregularities, motor vibrations, and the
vehicle's suspension system all contribute to the mechanical stress
experienced by the battery pack. These vibrations can cause
internal components of the battery, such as electrodes, connectors,
and electrolyte, to shift, loosen, or even get damaged over time.
Such issues can lead to reduced battery performance, shorter
lifespan, and in extreme cases, safety hazards. By conducting
vibration testing, manufacturers can identify potential weaknesses
in the battery design, packaging, and installation, allowing them
to make improvements to enhance the battery's resilience and
reliability.
2. Key Features of Our Large Vibration Table with Slip Table
High - Capacity Vibration Generation
Our vibration table is engineered to generate powerful vibrations
suitable for testing large - scale EV battery packs. It can produce
a broad range of vibration frequencies, typically from 5 Hz to 2000
Hz. This frequency range effectively covers the vibrations that EV
batteries are likely to encounter during normal driving conditions.
The amplitude of vibrations is precisely controllable, with a
maximum acceleration of up to 100 g and a maximum displacement of
±50 mm. This high - level of control ensures that batteries are
tested under realistic and challenging vibration levels.
Slip Table for Enhanced Testing Capabilities
The integrated slip table is a unique and valuable feature of our
setup. It allows for the simulation of complex multi - axis
vibrations and movements. The slip table can move horizontally and
vertically, providing an additional degree of freedom during
testing. This is particularly important for mimicking the dynamic
forces that EV batteries experience in a moving vehicle. For
example, when an EV takes a sharp turn or goes over a large
pothole, the battery pack may be subjected to lateral and vertical
forces simultaneously. The slip table can accurately replicate such
scenarios, enabling a more comprehensive evaluation of the
battery's performance under real - world conditions.
Large - Scale Test Platform
The test platform of the vibration table is designed to accommodate
large EV battery packs. It has a spacious surface area, typically
measuring 2000 x 2000 mm, which can securely hold battery packs of
various sizes and configurations. The platform is constructed with
high - strength materials to withstand the significant forces
generated during testing. Additionally, it is equipped with
multiple attachment points and fixtures to ensure that the battery
pack is firmly secured, preventing any unwanted movement during the
vibration process.
Customizable Test Profiles
We understand that different EV battery designs may require unique
testing conditions. Our vibration table allows for the creation of
highly customizable test profiles. Engineers can set the specific
vibration frequency, amplitude, slip table movement patterns, and
test duration according to the requirements of the battery being
tested. For instance, a high - performance battery for a luxury EV
may need a different vibration profile compared to a standard -
range battery for an economy - class EV. The ability to tailor the
test profiles ensures that each battery is tested under the most
relevant conditions, providing accurate and meaningful results.
Precise Control and Monitoring System
The vibration table is equipped with a state - of - the - art
control and monitoring system. The system is PC - based, featuring
intuitive software. Operators can easily input test parameters,
start and stop the test, and monitor the progress in real - time.
The software provides clear visual displays of key data such as
vibration frequency, amplitude, slip table position, and test time
remaining. It also has advanced data - logging capabilities,
enabling the collection and in - depth analysis of vibration data.
This data can be used to identify any signs of stress or potential
failure points in the battery, facilitating the improvement of
battery design and manufacturing processes.

4. Applications in EV Battery Testing
Battery Pack Design Validation
Automotive manufacturers and battery suppliers use our vibration
table to validate the design of new EV battery packs. By subjecting
prototype battery packs to realistic vibration scenarios, they can
identify any design flaws, such as insufficient structural support,
poor electrical connections, or vulnerable internal components.
This allows them to make necessary design modifications before mass
production, reducing the risk of costly recalls and improving the
overall quality of the battery pack.
Quality Control in Manufacturing
During the manufacturing process, our vibration table is used for
quality control purposes. Random samples of battery packs can be
tested to ensure that they meet the required standards for
vibration resistance. This helps in detecting any manufacturing
defects, such as loose parts, improper assembly, or sub - standard
materials. By catching these issues early, manufacturers can
maintain a high level of product quality and reliability.
Research and Development
In the field of EV battery research and development, our vibration
table serves as a valuable tool. Researchers can use it to study
the effects of different vibration patterns on battery performance
and lifespan. They can also test new materials, technologies, and
packaging designs to develop more durable and efficient EV
batteries. For example, testing a new type of shock - absorbing
material for battery packaging or evaluating the performance of a
new electrode design under vibration.
