Abstract

Fusing system, high-voltage battery pack system of motor vehicle and operation method thereof. The invention relates to a fuse system comprising a fuse, wherein a trigger indicator is arranged on the fuse such that a cause of a fuse trigger can be detected from an optical change of the trigger indicator. The invention also relates to a high-voltage battery system for a motor vehicle, comprising a fuse and a crash indicator, which is designed to change a visible characteristic as a function of a crash acting on the crash indicator.

Description

Fusing system, high-voltage battery pack system of motor vehicle and operation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a fusing system, a method for operating a high-voltage battery system of a motor vehicle, and a high-voltage battery system.
Background
Fuses are widely used in motor vehicles. A common application of fuses is to protect a high voltage battery pack from short circuit currents, as used in, for example, electric vehicles. In particular, fuses used for this purpose are often invisible ceramic elements, i.e. components of the fuse which melt when the current flow is too high are not visible from the outside. Fuses are triggered not only by high currents, but also, if necessary, can lose their conductive properties as a result of external forces, for example, as a result of the elements located in the fuse breaking or breaking. If a fuse is used to protect the high voltage battery system from short circuits, the battery control unit cannot record data as to whether the fuse's disintegration is due to a short circuit current or to an external force effect. Because of this, the entire high-voltage battery system is often replaced as the fuse is triggered, since the reason for fuse triggering cannot be ruled out is damage within the high-voltage battery system. This replacement of the high-voltage battery system results in unnecessarily high costs as long as the fuse is triggered by mechanical action from the outside. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a fusing system or a high-voltage battery system, which enables: the high-voltage battery system of the electric vehicle does not have to be replaced due to the triggering of the fuse caused by the force action.
US 7219619 and US 5323729 relate to shock indicators, i.e. members adapted to make visible the action of a force.
Disclosure of Invention
Accordingly, the fuse system according to claim 1, comprising a fuse, has the following advantages: a trigger indicator is arranged on the fuse such that the cause of the fuse trigger can be identified from an optical change of the trigger indicator. In this context, the triggering of the fuse is to be understood in particular as the transition from a conductive state to a non-conductive state.
The high voltage battery system for a motor vehicle according to claim 7 has the following advantages: the high-voltage battery system comprises a fuse and a crash indicator, which is designed to change a visible characteristic as a function of a crash acting on the crash indicator.
Advantageous embodiments are the subject matter of the dependent claims.
It is advantageous that: the trigger indicator comprises a temperature indicator, wherein the temperature indicator is set up to: the properties of the surface of the temperature indicator are changed under the effect of heat. Particularly advantageous are temperature indicators which change their color under the action of heat. Particularly advantageous is a temperature indicator which changes its color irreversibly under the influence of temperature, so that, depending on the change in color of the temperature indicator, a temperature influence on the temperature indicator can also be demonstrated afterwards. Advantageously, the temperature indicator is arranged on the fuse such that a thermal action, for example causing a melting of a trigger element of the fuse, causes a change in the surface of the temperature indicator. I.e. the temperature indicator is in close proximity to the fuse or in thermally conductive connection with the fuse.
It is advantageous that: the triggering indicator comprises a collision indicator which is set up to: the visible characteristic is changed in response to an impact applied to the impact indicator.
It is advantageous that: as long as the impact indicator is subjected to an impact that causes an impact above the impact threshold, the color of the impact indicator changes.
If the trigger indicator comprises a temperature indicator, it can be inferred based on a change in the temperature indicator that: the fuse is triggered by the action of heat, that is to say by an excessively high current flowing through the fuse. If the trigger indicator comprises an impact indicator, it can be concluded based on a change in the impact indicator that: fuses are triggered by an external force acting on the ground; the conductive elements of the fuse are broken or fractured by external forces. In both cases, therefore, the triggering due to the current being too high can be distinguished from the triggering due to the external force action, so that by observing the trigger indicator it can be determined that: whether the high-voltage battery system protected by means of the described fusing system has to be replaced.
Also advantageous is a method for operating a high-voltage battery system of a motor vehicle, wherein the high-voltage battery system of the motor vehicle comprises a fuse system according to the invention, wherein after the fuse has been triggered, the triggering indicator is checked, and the fuse system is replaced as a function of the result of the checking of the triggering indicator and the high-voltage battery system is operated with a new fuse system. It is particularly advantageous: as long as the trigger indicator indicates that the cause of the fuse system trigger is not too high of a current flowing through the fuse, the high voltage battery system is operated with the new fuse system, since there is no reason to believe that there is damage within the high voltage battery system indicating replacement of the high voltage battery system.
Drawings
Subsequently, embodiments of the present invention are further described. Here:
fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a vehicle including a high voltage battery pack system.
Detailed Description
Fig. 1 shows a schematic illustration of a motor vehicle (16), in which an electric vehicle may be mentioned in particular. The motor vehicle (16) comprises a high-voltage battery system (18), wherein the high-voltage battery system is to be understood as not only a traction battery but also a 48 volt battery system. A high voltage battery system (18) includes a control unit (14), a fuse (10), and a trigger indicator (12). The fuse (10) and the trigger indicator (12) form a fuse system (13). The trigger indicator (12) can be a temperature indicator and/or a crash indicator, wherein the temperature indicator is designed to permanently change its color as a function of the action of heat. The crash indicator is set up as: permanently changing its color in accordance with the force effect. Preferably, the trigger indicator (12) is located immediately above the fuse (10) so that it is ensured that: the thermal action on the fuse (10) acts in the same way on the trigger indicator (12); or the force acting on the fuse (10) acts on the trigger indicator (12) in the same way. If the trigger indicator (12) is a temperature indicator, it can be concluded based on the color change of the temperature indicator that: the fuse (10) is triggered by the action of heat. Thus, a color change of the temperature indicator indicates an overcurrent within the fuse (10), so that the necessity of changing the high-voltage battery system (18) can be inferred from the color change of the temperature indicator, since an internal short circuit, in particular within the high-voltage battery system (18), may have been the cause of the fuse (10) triggering.
If the trigger indicator (12) comprises an impact indicator, it can be concluded, based on the color change of the impact indicator: the triggered fuse (10) is triggered by an external force. Thus, there is no need to replace the high voltage battery system (18), as the starting points may be: only the fuse (10) is damaged by the force action, so that only the fuse (10) and, if applicable, the associated trigger indicator (12) must be replaced. Therefore, the vehicle (16) can continue to operate with a new fuse system (13) comprising the fuse (10) and the trigger indicator (12).
By using the proposed fuse system (13) or the proposed high voltage battery system (18), repair shop costs may be reduced and unnecessary replacement of the high voltage battery system (18) may be avoided.
