As an indispensable energy storage device in modern life and industry, the quality and safety of batteries are of paramount importance. As an important means in battery quality control, acupuncture test aims to evaluate the structural strength, safety performance and reliability of the production process of the battery. This article will delve into the significance, methods and applications of acupuncture testing in the battery industry.
The needlestick test is an experimental method that simulates the puncture or damage that a battery may encounter during use. Its main purpose is to:Evaluate the safety performance of the battery, test the puncture resistance of the battery shell, and prevent puncture during use, causing safety problems such as short circuit and leakage.The structural strength of the battery is examined, and the structural stability and protection ability of the battery under external damage are evaluated by simulating puncture events.Verify the reliability of the production process, test the quality of shell manufacturing in the battery production process, and ensure the consistency and reliability of the battery.
Acupuncture tests generally use standardized testing equipment and operating procedures to ensure the accuracy and comparability of test results. The main test steps include:
Select the appropriate test needle, depending on the type and size of the battery, usually cylindrical or sharp metal needles.
A standardized pressure and velocity is applied to the surface of the battery housing at a certain speed, usually with a certain force until a specified depth is reached.
Recording and evaluation of results, recording mechanical parameters (e.g., applied force, depth, etc.) at the time of puncture, assessing whether the battery casing has penetrated, leaked, or otherwise anomalous.

Acupuncture test is widely used in the battery industry and has the following advantages:
Safety
The acupuncture test can effectively assess the safety of the battery under possible external damage, and help manufacturers detect potential safety hazards in advance.
quality control
As an important means of production quality control, the acupuncture test can verify that the manufacturing process and material selection of the battery housing meet the design requirements.
Standardization of technology
Countries and regions usually have relevant acupuncture test standards, such as IEC62133, UN38.3, etc., so that the test results are internationally applicable and comparable.
With the continuous development of battery technology and the expansion of application fields, the position and role of acupuncture test in battery quality control are becoming more and more important. In the future, with the introduction of new materials and new processes, acupuncture testing will continue to play a key role in improving battery safety and quality reliability, and provide solid technical support and guarantee for the sustainable development of the battery industry.
Through the above introduction, it is hoped that readers can have a deeper understanding of the importance of acupuncture test in battery quality control and its implementation methods, so as to provide a safer and more reliable guarantee for battery manufacturing and use.
