Description

Charger and charging method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of storage batteries.
Background
In the process of charging the lead-acid storage battery at present, two-stage electricity buffering, namely a quick charging stage and a buffering stage, are used for achieving a charging effect. Three-stage charging is also used, namely an initial fast charging stage, a middle slow charging stage and a later floating charging stage. Such as an initial constant-current or constant-voltage rapid charging stage, a middle constant-voltage slow charging stage, and a later constant-voltage or constant-current floating charging stage. A low voltage and a large current are used initially to shorten the charging time; after the voltage of the battery rises to a certain value, high-voltage small current is used instead to prevent the battery from being overcharged; the battery is changed to a relatively low voltage to a float level after being substantially fully charged to reduce damage to the battery. In the process of the slow charging stage, the battery can generate a large amount of gas, so that the water loss is increased, the charging side reaction is intensified, the heat release of the battery is increased, and the thermal runaway phenomenon of the battery is easy to occur. In order to avoid the thermal runaway slow charging stage, the charging time can be controlled through buffering, because the time is a fixed value, along with the increase of the charging and discharging times, and because the charging environment and other various conditions change, if the time is set to be longer, on one hand, the risk of thermal runaway exists, and on the other hand, the invalid charging time is increased, and the resources are wasted.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described with reference to specific examples.
The invention provides a charger of a lead-acid storage battery 6, which comprises a switch circuit 1, a charging circuit 2, a voltage detection circuit 3, a timing circuit 4 and a controller 5. The switching circuit 1 is used for completing alternating current-direct current conversion of commercial power, providing working power supplies of other circuit modules in the charger and providing charging current or charging voltage; the charging circuit 2 is used for receiving a charging current or charging voltage signal provided by the switch circuit 1 and providing the charging current or charging voltage signal to the storage battery 6; the voltage and current detection circuit 3 realizes battery voltage detection and sends a detection result to the controller 5; the controller 5 activates the timing circuit 4 and controls the charging circuit 2 to enter a corresponding time-limited charging mode when the result detected by the voltage and current detection circuit 3 meets the condition. The controller 5 also dynamically adjusts the timing value of the timer circuit 4 according to the number of times the charging circuit 2 is charged.
When the battery starts to charge, the commercial power is converted into a controllable charging voltage or charging current signal through AC-DC (alternating current-direct current), the controller controls the charging circuit to enter a first phase, namely a rapid charging phase, for example, constant current charging with a larger current I1, the current I1 is preferably between 0.15C and 1.0C, and also can be constant voltage or constant power rapid charging. The controller opens the voltage detection circuit to detect the battery voltage, if the detected voltage value reaches the battery cell voltage and preferably reaches 2.3V-2.4V, the controller controls the switch circuit and the charging circuit to enter the second stage according to the input signal of the voltage detection circuit, the charging circuit is charged with a small current such as 0.1C, when the voltage reaches the constant voltage at the stage, the timing circuit is activated and the charging circuit is controlled to carry out time-limited constant voltage charging, the charged constant unit cell voltage is preferably between 2.40V and 2.55V, when the time preset by the timing circuit is reached, the controller controls the charging circuit to enter a third stage, i.e., the float charging stage, is preferably charged with a constant current at a current between 0.005C and 0.05C or with a constant voltage at a cell voltage between 2.28V and 2.35V for a period of time until the entire charging process is completed. The time preset by the timing circuit is the time for the controller to dynamically adjust the timing value of the timing circuit according to the charging times of the charging circuit.
The charging method of the lead-acid storage battery comprises the following steps: step 1, in the initial quick charging stage, such as heavy current constant current charging, the charging current is 0.15-1.0C, and the voltage is limited to 2.3-2.40V/cell. The charge state of the battery at this stage is low, the charge acceptance is strong, the charging voltage basically does not generate hydrogen evolution, the charging is generally completed at the negative electrode to about 90 percent of the charge state, the charging time can be shortened by setting a larger current for charging, and the activation and recovery effects on the capacity of the storage battery are realized, and the experiment proves that the storage battery begins to evolve gas when the voltage is charged to 2.3V/cell; when the voltage is charged to 2.3V-2.50V, the gassing rate starts to increase significantly. And 2, in the intermediate slow charging stage, if constant-voltage time-limited charging is carried out, the negative electrode charging is basically finished through the step 1, and the intermediate slow charging stage mainly plays a role of completely charging the positive electrode. At the moment, the battery has poor charging acceptance, and a large amount of gas can be generated by setting too large current or too high voltage, so that the water loss is increased, and the thermal runaway phenomenon of the battery is easy to occur. The parameter settings are therefore as follows: the voltage is limited to 2.40V/cell-2.55V/cell, the voltage can be charged with a small current such as 0.1C, timing is started when the voltage reaches the constant voltage of the stage, the time limit is preferably 1-3h, the risk of thermal runaway caused by the temperature rise of the battery can be avoided by time limit, the service life of the battery is ensured, and the energy waste is reduced. And step 3: and a later floating charge stage, such as a small current reinforcing stage. The basic process charge stage of the cell at this point is primarily responsible for balancing/reinforcing the individual cells and the individual cells. Parameters are as follows: the charging current is 0.005-0.05C, and is not limited. By charging with the constant current of low current without limiting the voltage, the vulcanization phenomenon of the storage battery caused by the lagging of a certain cell can be eliminated, so that each cell achieves the effect of equalizing charging, or the constant voltage charging with the voltage of the cell between 2.28V and 2.35V is adopted. If necessary, the step 3 is not arranged in the charging step, and the purpose of preventing thermal runaway is achieved. Where C is the two hour rate capacity of the battery.
The following tests are carried out in a three-stage charging mode by taking a common 6-DZF-20 storage battery as a test sample for the verification, and the influence of the charging and discharging times on thermal runaway is further proved by embodiments.
