Description

Battery thermal runaway early warning method
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a battery thermal runaway early warning method.
Background
In order to relieve the problems of energy shortage and environmental pollution, new energy automobiles are already listed in strategic emerging technology industries in China. Motorization of automotive power systems has gradually become one of the major trends in future automotive technology development. One of the main features of motorization of automotive power systems is the use of electrical energy instead of chemical energy as the primary source of motive energy for vehicles. The lithium ion power battery has the characteristics of high specific energy, low self-discharge rate and long cycle life, and is the most practical pure electric vehicle energy source at present.
However, with the large-scale application of lithium ion batteries to electric vehicles, safety accidents of lithium ion power batteries, represented by thermal runaway, sometimes occur. Lithium ion power battery accidents are usually manifested by phenomena of temperature shock, smoke, fire and even explosion, which take thermal runaway as a core. Thermal runaway accidents often release large amounts of energy in a short period of time, and are very likely to cause casualties and property losses. Therefore, the thermal runaway accident can attack the confidence that people accept the electric automobile and prevent the electric automobile from being popularized.
Thermal runaway accidents of lithium ion power cells can be triggered by mechanical abuse (crushing, needling, bumping, etc.), electrical abuse (overcharge, overdischarge, internal short circuit, etc.), and thermal abuse. There is a certain internal link between the three abuses, wherein the mechanical abuse causes the deformation of the battery, the deformation of the battery can cause internal short circuit, namely, the electric abuse is caused, the electric abuse is often accompanied by joule heat, namely, the heat of chemical reaction, the heat accumulation causes the heat abuse, and finally the heat abuse causes the temperature of the battery to rise, thereby causing the thermal runaway chain reaction.
Although the causes of the thermal runaway accident of the lithium ion battery are many, the nature of the thermal runaway is a thermal problem, namely: before thermal runaway of the battery occurs, the battery temperature inevitably undergoes a change from normal to overheating. The temperature change process can be measured by a temperature sensor, but in the current lithium ion battery pack for a vehicle, a plurality of lithium ion battery cells often share one temperature sensor, so that the temperature sensor cannot accurately detect abnormal temperature rise of a certain cell or a certain region. Therefore, thermal runaway early warning cannot be realized based on the existing temperature signal.

As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for warning thermal runaway of a battery. The battery thermal runaway early warning method comprises the following steps:
s10, arranging at least one thermal runaway sensing element in a battery module in a preset wiring mode, wherein the battery module comprises at least one battery monomer, and each thermal runaway sensing element is in contact with the first surface of the battery monomer. In step S10, the shape and structure of the thermal runaway sensing element are not specifically limited, and optionally, the thermal runaway sensing element is a fuse. The fuse wire is prepared by using a metal material with a preset melting point temperature. The preset melting point temperature is higher than the temperature of the battery module during normal operation, and is lower than the self-heat-generation initial temperature of the battery module. As shown in FIG. 2, the melting point temperature of the tin-based alloy is 70 ℃ to 100 ℃, which is lower than the self-heat-generation starting temperature (e.g. about 120 ℃) of the battery, is further lower than the thermal runaway highest temperature (e.g. about 800 ℃) of the battery, and is higher than the normal working temperature (e.g. -10 ℃ to 60 ℃) of the battery. And the fuse wire made of the alloy has certain conductivity. The shape of the preset wiring mode is not particularly limited, as long as the thermal runaway sensing element is reasonably arranged in the battery module, and in an optional embodiment, the preset wiring mode is an S-shaped wiring mode.
And S20, setting at least one monitoring point on each thermal runaway sensing element, and monitoring the electric signal of each monitoring point. In step S20, the electrical signal may be a voltage signal. The electrical signal may be a resistive signal.
S30, when the thermal runaway sensing member is fused, the electric signal of at least one monitoring point on the thermal runaway sensing member is abnormally fluctuated, and then the thermal runaway early warning is carried out. The voltage is applied to the two ends of the fuse wire, so that the potential of the fuse wire to the ground can be measured at different positions on the fuse wire; the resistance to one end of the fuse wire at different positions can be directly detected, and whether the fuse wire is fused or not and where the fuse wire is fused can be judged. In step S30, under normal conditions, the thermal runaway sensing elements are not fused, each thermal runaway sensing element maintains an electrical path, and each electrical signal fluctuates slightly near its respective stable signal. When the temperature of a single battery or a battery unit rises to the fusing temperature of the fuse wire, a certain thermal runaway sensing member nearby the single battery or the battery unit is fused, an electric path of the thermal runaway sensing member is damaged, and an electric signal of each monitoring point on the thermal runaway sensing member abnormally fluctuates, for example, the value of the electric signal is suddenly increased or suddenly reduced to zero. By monitoring the signal change, thermal runaway early warning is carried out, and the position of a monomer or unit with higher temperature can be accurately judged.
In the embodiment, the thermal runaway sensing element with a low melting point is utilized, the principle is simple, the operability is strong, the cost is low, and the detection speed is high. The method does not need complex calculation, has small data storage amount and calculation amount, can perform timely early warning before the thermal runaway occurs, and can reduce the harm caused by the thermal runaway to a great extent.
In one embodiment, S20, each thermal runaway sensing element is provided with at least one monitoring point, and the step of monitoring the electrical signal of each monitoring point includes connecting one end of each thermal runaway sensing element to a voltage source. The other end of each thermal runaway sensing element is grounded, and each monitoring point is connected with a voltage detector. The voltage value of each monitoring point is monitored by a voltage detector. And when the voltage value of at least one monitoring point on the thermal runaway sensing piece is abnormally fluctuated, performing thermal runaway early warning.

In one embodiment, S20, each thermal runaway sensing element is provided with at least one monitoring point, and the step of monitoring the electrical signal of each monitoring point includes grounding one end of each thermal runaway sensing element, and monitoring the resistance value to ground of each monitoring point by using a resistance detector.

When the whole battery module is in a normal working state, the fuse wire is in an electric path state, and the resistance signal R of each measuring point in the state is considered to increase along with the increase of the length of the fuse wireMeasuring point iThe relationship of (1) is: rMeasuring point 1>RMeasuring point 2>RMeasuring point 3>RMeasuring point 4>RMeasuring point 5>RMeasuring point 6>0. As shown in FIG. 8, when the battery module is in a normal state, each resistance measurement point signal RMeasuring point iAround the respective stable value, due toThere is a small fluctuation due to the influence of noise. When the temperature of a certain single body in the battery unit 1 is higher than the fusing temperature of the fuse wire, the fuse wire near the single body is fused, it is noted that in fig. 7, both sides of each single body are respectively contacted with a part of the fuse wire, so the fuse wire will be fused at both sides of the single body with higher temperature (certainly, there is a possibility that the fuse wire is fused at only one side, and the fusing at both sides is only exemplified), after the fusing occurs, the resistance measuring points 1 and 2 are suspended, and the resistance signal R thereof is suspendedMeasuring point 1,RMeasuring point 2For an open circuit signal (pull-up resistor can be set to pull up the resistance of the suspended measurement point), and the measurement points 3-6 are connected to GND, so that R is connected at this timeMeasuring point 3-RMeasuring point 6And (4) keeping normal, judging that the thermal runaway risk exists in the battery unit 1 by the control unit at the moment, and performing thermal runaway early warning. Similarly, when the rest battery units have the risk of thermal runaway, similar analysis can be performed, and finally the battery safety state corresponding to the resistance signal of each resistance measuring point can be obtained.
