Water-cooling button battery temperature control testing device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of battery testing, in particular to a water-cooling button battery temperature control testing device.
Background
In the field of new energy which is rapidly developed, the lithium ion battery is a popular energy storage device from various secondary batteries due to the characteristic of high specific energy, and is widely applied to the aspects of electric vehicles, electric tools and power grid energy storage. Unfortunately, the electrode materials, electrolyte and separator that make up lithium ion batteries generally operate only within a relatively narrow temperature window beyond which severe damage can occur. For example, when the lithium ion battery is operated at a low temperature, serious lithium precipitation occurs in the negative electrode, the generated lithium dendrite may penetrate through the separator to cause internal short circuit, the electrode material may undergo phase change at a high temperature, the electrolyte may volatilize or oxidize, and the separator may fail. However, lithium ion batteries are required to be adaptable to a wide range of temperatures in applications. For example, in an electric vehicle in an extremely cold region, the battery needs to be able to maintain a sufficient amount of electricity at-20 ℃, while in a tropical region, or the battery itself generates heat during operation, the battery is required to maintain normal operation at a temperature of +50℃. Therefore, the method has important practical significance for the temperature characteristic research of the lithium ion battery and the practical application of the lithium ion battery.
In a laboratory, the most commonly used mode for testing the performance of the lithium ion button battery is to test the lithium ion button battery by trial production, so that the process is simple, the cost is low, and the period is short. In the prior art, for the temperature test of button cells, the mode of putting the button cells into a large-scale constant temperature cavity is always adopted, the constant temperature cavity is cooled by a compressor and cold air, the price of the constant temperature cavity is high, the volume is huge, the temperature adjustment is slower, the use requirement is high, the test efficiency is lower, and inconvenience is brought to practical use. Therefore, the temperature test problem of the button cell is compared and studied, the patent number CN105700587A belongs to the constant temperature cavity test type and cannot solve the existing problem through keyword retrieval, the lithium ion temperature control device shown in the patent number CN103487761 is only a temperature sensing cavity of the lithium ion cell and cannot realize real-time temperature control, and contents contained in the patent numbers CN107887672 and CN206180060 are control strategies for heat management of the cell and are not temperature control devices for the button cell.
In the temperature control of a small range, particularly the refrigeration of the small range, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet is a proper technical means, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet is also called a thermoelectric refrigeration sheet and is divided into a cold surface and a hot surface, the temperature difference of about 40 ℃ can be realized on the two surfaces after the power is on, the continuous power on generates an effect similar to heat transfer, the current direction is changed, and the heating or the refrigeration of one surface of the refrigeration sheet can be controlled. For applications of semiconductor refrigeration sheets in related fields, such as CN106486719a, a power battery control system based on semiconductor refrigeration sheets is used, but not for button battery testing. CN203689188U is a refrigerating device for semiconductor devices, but does not need to energize semiconductor materials, and only needs to control the temperature of a single surface of a material to be tested, and cannot be used for testing button cells. The device described in CN106876824 is improved to a certain extent, but the device is complex in electrical test of the battery and not easy to realize, the arranged insulating layer can actually cause temperature measurement distortion of the battery, the device has no heat preservation measures, so that the temperature is difficult to reduce and maintain, and the cooling plate is not subjected to heat dissipation protection, so that the damage is easy to occur, and the whole device is not strong in practicability. Therefore, it is necessary to design a button cell testing device with high efficiency, small volume, wide temperature control range, accurate and stable temperature control, and simple and easy testing.
