Description

Battery pack Technical field
The invention discloses a kind of battery packs including thermal control system.
Background technique
The electric system of energy storage/electric car is made of multiple battery modules, and battery module is made of multiple battery cells.Due to pursuing the energy density of battery pack, closely, so that the heat in battery module is easy accumulation, the intermediate position of especially entire module, temperature is often higher than other positions to the battery cell arrangement in battery module.When part battery cell in module heat accumulation to a certain extent after, the phenomenon that may result in thermal runaway generation.And thermal runaway can be spread in battery module, the battery cell temperature for causing other to work normally increases rapidly so that thermal runaway occurs for entire battery module, this be it is extremely hazardous, especially in closed battery case.
Application No. is CN201280043177.9, the patent application of entitled " battery pack extinguishing device " discloses a kind of device for being able to suppress the battery pack in battery pack kindling and fire occurring.The extinguishing device includes: fire detection sensor, whether being used to detect battery pack kindling;Foamite container, inside it space extinguishing chemical;And control unit, the inside for being used to make the extinguishing chemical in the foamite container be injected into the battery pack when detecting that fire occurs by the fire detection sensor.
Whether fire detection sensor in the patent catches fire for monitoring cell group, it was demonstrated that its extinguishing device occurs open fire in battery pack and just starts to work.In fact, battery pack is smoldered in taking the form of for thermal runaway initial stage, the battery cell temperature for showing manifest symptom rises violently rapidly, once thermal runaway takes place in some battery cell, just it is constantly be generated thermal energy and these healthy battery cells may be made to enter thermal runaway by adjacent cell Unit heating to the critical-temperature for being higher than thermal runaway.This phenomenon, which can be spread rapidly, constantly generates heat, until by other adjacent cell Unit heatings to thermal runaway state.
Application No. is CN201410186474.X, a kind of battery case is disclosed in the patent application of entitled " a kind of high waterproof thermal-insulated battery case of electric car ", it includes the cabinet and the intracorporal several battery units of case of sealing, further includes being set to the radiator being connected in cabinet and with several battery units.Heating device is arranged in each battery unit, the battery case controller being connected by control circuit with heating device is also set up in the cabinet, it is every piece of battery cell module heat dissipation that hollow heat sink, which has also been devised, guarantees battery cell module heat dissipation uniformly, improves radiating efficiency.Technical solution disclosed in the patent can solve the temperature uniformity problem of battery pack battery cell in normal operating conditions, but since heat sink plays heat conduction, once some battery cell occurs Thermal runaway, heat can be rapidly transferred to other normal battery monomers, thermal runaway caused to spread rapidly.
In the prior art, in order to preferably control the temperature of battery pack, have by the way that cooling loop is arranged between battery cell, reduce each battery cell temperature difference in battery module, also there is the extinguishing device that connection is set outside battery case.Extinguishing device or similar device are set in battery pack system, and only a kind of remedial measure after the generation of battery pack thermal runaway, can not be effectively controlled budding state for thermal runaway.And cooling device is designed in battery pack system, usually there are free air cooling and liquid two kinds cooling, air quantity relative efficacy is poor, and liquid cooling is in order to reach preferable heat dissipation effect, often need for battery module to be immersed in coolant liquid, for the security performance of battery pack, the liquid for usually selecting insulation performance relatively good, and the thermal capacitance value of these insulating and cooling liquids is lower, boiling point is higher, also it is difficult to undergo phase transition at a temperature of battery pack thermal runaway, the heat of generation is difficult to take away rapidly when temperature steeply rises.More disadvantageously, if insulating and cooling liquid temperature rises rapidly, the effect of one " oil bath " can be also played, other batteries worked normally are also heated to the state of thermal runaway, to bring graver results.
Occur to take positive remedial measure after thermal runaway in battery pack, a kind of method for controlling thermal runaway of can yet be regarded as.Although above-mentioned remedial measure can play certain effect, serious danger will not be brought, the battery pack after thermal runaway also will be unable to work normally, and bring serious loss.If can inhibit thermal runaway during temperature early period rises not only to control dangerous generation in budding state, unnecessary loss is also greatly reduced.
