Description

Safety protection device for lithium ion battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent safety protection devices of energy storage units of lithium ion batteries, in particular to a lithium ion battery safety protection device which is a three-in-one high-efficiency intelligent safety protection device capable of realizing early warning, automatic fire extinguishing and quick cooling functions on thermal runaway of the energy storage units of the lithium ion batteries.
Background
The lithium ion battery has the advantages of high energy density, high output power, low self-discharge rate and the like, so the lithium ion battery has wide application in the fields of electric vehicles, power grid energy storage and the like. When the lithium ion battery is under the abuse conditions of short circuit, impact, overcharge, overheating and the like, the internal of the lithium ion battery is easy to generate an unblocked chain reaction, the temperature of the battery is increased exponentially, and the thermal runaway of the battery is generated. During the thermal runaway of the battery, a large amount of smoke and severe jet fire are often accompanied. When the battery is out of control, if the battery is not protected in time, the flame and the out of control process are easy to diffuse to the adjacent lithium ion energy storage unit, and then a larger-scale fire explosion accident is caused. Therefore, the safety protection device with high efficiency and intelligence is arranged on the energy storage device of the lithium ion battery, and the safety protection device has important significance for safe and high-efficiency operation of the energy storage device.
At present, early warning and fire extinguishing research on a lithium ion battery energy storage system is less, and a safety protection device aiming at thermal runaway of the lithium ion battery is seriously lacked. The existing lithium ion battery energy storage unit safety protection device has the following defects: (1) the thermal runaway early warning device adopts single parameters mostly, so that the false operation probability of the early warning system is high; the influence of gases released by a blue film, an electronic circuit and the like of a power battery at high temperature on the parameter threshold of the early warning system is mostly not considered in the selection of the failure factor threshold of the existing early warning system, which directly results in higher false alarm rate of the thermal runaway early warning device in the market at the present stage. (2) The traditional automatic fire extinguishing device is slow in action time, and can act after a fire disaster develops to a certain stage and receives high temperature or smoke through a detector, so that the optimal time for fire extinguishing is lost. (3) Traditional safety device adopts fire extinguishing agents such as carbon dioxide and heptafluoropropane more, and this kind of gaseous fire extinguishing agent is lower and the cooling effect is poor to the fire extinguishing efficiency of battery. (4) The traditional safety protection device does not consider the problem of cooling after the battery extinguishes, particularly, after the battery is extinguished by naked fire, the surface temperature of the battery can still reach 500 ℃ or even 600 ℃, so that the risk of thermal runaway propagation of the battery still exists after the battery is extinguished, and the fire hazard of the energy storage unit cannot be fundamentally solved.
Obviously, the existing safety protection device for the lithium ion battery has many disadvantages, and therefore, an efficient early warning and fire extinguishing and cooling system needs to be designed aiming at the energy storage unit of the lithium ion battery urgently.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.
The invention relates to a safety protection device of a lithium ion battery, which comprises: early warning module 1, automatic fire extinguishing module 2 and emergency liquid cooling module 3.
Early warning module 1 is installed in the space in the battery package, including Arduino micro control unit 4, CO sensor 5, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) sensor 6, infrared temperature sensor 7, LCD display screen 8 and circuit board 9. In the early warning module 1, a CO sensor 5, an infrared temperature sensor 7 and a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) sensor 6 are connected with a single chip microcomputer through a control circuit with a diode and a relay. Wherein, the CO sensor 5 is used for detecting the CO concentration in the battery pack; the infrared temperature sensor 7 is used for detecting the surface temperature and the environmental temperature of the battery; the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) sensor 6 can detect the concentration of volatile organic compounds in the battery pack; the diode is used for preventing the element from being damaged by the back electromotive force of the inductive effect formed at the coil in the circuit; the relay is used for controlling the high-power circuit by using the low-power circuit; the singlechip is used for combining software and hardware; the circuit board 9 is used for integrating various electronic components on the same board to realize the communication of electronic circuits.
As shown in fig. 5, in the early stage of thermal runaway of the battery, the temperature of the battery rises rapidly, a large amount of CO gas, volatile organic compounds and the like are released from the safety valve, the gas flow rate at the safety valve is high, and the whole battery pack can be filled with various gases rapidly. Various gases diffuse near the early warning module 1, and when the failure factor parameters reach or exceed the preset threshold value of the system, the early warning module 1 acts to send out an early warning signal to remind an operator of the lithium ion battery energy storage device to take corresponding processing measures and transmit the signal to the control unit of the pressure sensor 15.
When the battery is out of control due to heat, a great amount of smoke is released from the safety valve, and meanwhile, violent jet fire is released. The jet fire heats the fire detection pipe 12, when the external temperature is higher than the preset melting temperature of the fire detection pipe 12, the fire detection pipe is melted to generate a spout, the perfluorohexanone fire extinguishing medium is rapidly released, and the fire caused by thermal runaway of the battery is extinguished. When the fire suppressant is released, the pressure sensor 15 will detect a decrease in the in-line pressure to a pressure threshold.
When the parameter values of the failure factors of the early warning module 1 reach or exceed the preset threshold value and the pressure sensor 15 does not detect that the pressure in the pipeline is reduced to the pressure threshold value, which indicates that the ignition point is in the area which cannot be covered by the fire detection pipe 12, the one-way electromagnetic valve 14 is started after being delayed for 10s, and the fire extinguishing medium is released. The main reason for setting the 10s delay here is that the value detected by the pressure sensor 15 does not reach the preset threshold value at the beginning of the discharge of the probe tube 12, which is to prevent the extinguishing medium from being discharged through the nozzle 13 before the probe tube 12 melts.
When the parameter values of all failure factors of the early warning module 1 reach or exceed a preset threshold value and the pressure sensor 15 detects that the pressure in the pipeline is reduced to the pressure threshold value, the emergency liquid cooling module 3 is started. After the emergency liquid cooling module 3 is started, the compressor 19, the water pump 20 and the condensing heat exchanger 21 are started. After fire extinguishing, the heat of the battery is quickly taken away. And a flame-retardant temperature-resistant heat conduction pad is arranged between the lithium ion battery 17 and the liquid cooling plate 16, so that the contact thermal resistance can be effectively reduced.
Assuming that the average heat generation power of the battery after thermal runaway is PTRThe heat transfer efficiency of the cold plate is phi1Then, as shown in the following equation (2), the flow rate of the coolant can be calculated:
PTR=Cp·ρ·q·ΔT·Φ1 (2)
wherein, PTRAverage heat generation power of the battery after thermal runaway, CpIs the specific heat capacity of the coolant, ρ coolant density, q the flow rate of the coolant, Δ T the liquid coolingTemperature difference between plate inlet and outlet, phi1For heat exchange efficiency.
According to the following formula (3), the water pump can be selected according to the flow rate:
N=(γ·Q·H)/(1000·η) (3)
gamma is the gravity of the liquid, eta is the efficiency of the water pump, N is the power of the water pump, H is the lift of the water pump, and Q is the flow rate of the water pump.
The selection of the compressor should be calculated according to the average heat generation power of the battery, and in the present invention, the maximum power of the compressor is calculated according to the following formula (4).
Pcom=PTR·3·Φ2 (4)
PcomFor maximum power meter of compressor, PTRAverage heat generation power of battery after thermal runaway, phi2Is the efficiency of the compressor.
Fig. 4 shows the linkage control among the modules, which includes a diode 23, which mainly functions to prevent the back electromotive force of the coil from breaking down the electronic components after power-off; a relay 25 for controlling the large current circuit using a small current circuit; a switching power supply 22 and a solenoid valve 24.
The present embodiments are illustrative only, and do not limit the scope of the invention, and modifications and variations that may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the invention are to be considered as within the scope of the invention.
