Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
Example one
An embodiment of the present invention provides a system for preventing thermal runaway, and as shown in fig. 1, the system is connected to a battery pack a, where the battery pack a includes a plurality of battery modules, and each battery module includes a plurality of battery cells. Specifically, the system comprises:
acquisition module 101, including: the battery module comprises a voltage sampling circuit corresponding to each single battery cell and a plurality of temperature sensors positioned in each battery module, and is used for acquiring the voltage and the ambient temperature of each single battery cell;
the controller 102 is configured to determine whether the voltage and the ambient temperature of each individual battery cell meet a preset thermal runaway condition, obtain a determination result, and generate a control instruction when the determination result indicates that a target individual battery cell meets the preset thermal runaway condition;
the thermal runaway control module 103 is used for controlling the cooling mechanism to perform cooling operation on the target single battery cell based on the control instruction;
and a cooling mechanism 104, wherein the cooling mechanism 104 is connected with the battery pack A.
In order to cool down the battery pack A as soon as possible under the condition that the thermal runaway occurs in the battery pack A, the temperature and the voltage of each monomer battery cell in the battery pack A are monitored through a temperature sensor and a voltage sampling circuit in an acquisition module, and when the target monomer battery cell is monitored to meet the thermal runaway condition, the cooling mechanism connected with the battery pack A is controlled to cool down in time, so that the thermal runaway is effectively prevented.
In an alternative embodiment, the predetermined thermal runaway condition comprises any one of:
firstly, the voltage of the single battery cell is smaller than the preset voltage, the duration time reaches a first preset time, meanwhile, the highest temperature around the single battery cell is larger than the preset temperature, and the duration time reaches a second preset time.
And secondly, the voltage of the monomer battery cell is less than the preset voltage, the duration time reaches the first preset time, the temperature difference around the monomer battery cell is greater than the preset temperature difference, and the duration time reaches the second preset time.
And thirdly, the voltage of the monomer battery cell is smaller than the preset voltage, the duration time reaches the first preset time, meanwhile, the temperature change rate around the monomer battery cell is greater than the preset rate, and the duration time is greater than the second preset time.
Fourthly, the highest temperature around the single battery cell is larger than the preset temperature, the duration time reaches a second preset time, and meanwhile the number of faults occurring on the voltage sampling circuit of the single battery cell is larger than or equal to 1.
Fifthly, the voltage of the single battery cell is smaller than the preset voltage, the duration time reaches a first preset time, and the number of the faults occurring on the voltage sampling circuit of the single battery cell is larger than or equal to 1.
Sixthly, the temperature difference around the single battery cell is larger than the preset temperature difference, the duration time reaches a second preset time, and meanwhile, the number of the voltage sampling lines of the single battery cell which break down is larger than or equal to 1.
Seventhly, the number of failures of the temperature sensors is greater than or equal to 2, and the number of failures occurring in the voltage sampling lines of the single battery cells is greater than or equal to 1.
When the acquisition module 101 acquires any one of the above conditions of the single battery cells, the controller 102 determines that the single battery cell meets a preset thermal runaway condition.
This predetermined thermal runaway condition not only can monitor the voltage and the ambient temperature of monomer electricity core to judge whether thermal runaway appears, moreover, can also be based on the voltage and the ambient temperature of monomer electricity core, confirm the quantity that breaks down and temperature sensor of voltage sampling circuit appear inefficacy, based on this quantity or combine quantity and temperature or quantity and voltage, judge whether thermal runaway appears, and then can master the condition of thermal runaway more comprehensively.
When the controller 102 determines that the voltage and the ambient temperature of the target cell meet the preset thermal runaway condition, a control instruction is generated.
The control instruction is transmitted to the thermal runaway control module 103, and the thermal runaway control module 103 controls the cooling mechanism to perform a cooling operation on the target monomer battery cell based on the control instruction.
In an alternative embodiment, each individual cell has a unique identification code. The controller 102 may determine a coordinate of the target cell after determining that the voltage and the ambient temperature of the target cell meet a preset thermal runaway condition, where the coordinate is a unique identification code corresponding to the target cell.
For example, the cell in which thermal runaway occurs is determined to be the cell numbered 24, and the coordinates of the cell in the target table are located at 24. And determining that thermal runaway occurs in a fourth single battery cell of the second battery module according to the serial number. Then, when the cooling mechanism performs the cooling operation on the target single battery cell, the battery module where the single battery cell corresponding to the coordinate is located is controlled to perform the cooling operation.
The following is a detailed description of the cooling mechanism:
as shown in fig. 2, the temperature lowering mechanism includes: a high-pressure gas generating device 201 for generating high-pressure gas; a turbine pipe 202 for separating the high pressure gas out of a cold gas stream; the air delivery pipe 203 corresponding to each battery module is used for delivering cold air flow to the corresponding battery module; the electromagnetic valve 204 is arranged on the air outlet branch of the input pipe, and the cooling operation of the battery module where the target single battery cell is located is realized by opening the electromagnetic valve 204.
When determining that the target single battery cell is out of thermal runaway, the thermal runaway control module 103 controls the high-pressure gas generation device 201 to generate high-pressure gas, so that the turbine pipe 202 separates the high-pressure gas out of cold airflow to reach the corresponding battery module through the summer pipeline 203, and opens the corresponding electromagnetic valve 204 to cool the battery module where the target single battery cell is located.
Adopt this cooling mechanism, not only can effectively cool down to the battery module that thermal runaway appears pertinence ground, moreover, the cooling effect that adopts this turbine pipe 202 is better.
The operation of controlling the cooling mechanism 104 to cool is described above, and when the target cell electric core with thermal runaway returns to normal, the cooling mechanism 104 may also be controlled to stop cooling. Specifically, the controller 102 is further configured to determine whether the voltage and the ambient temperature of the target cell meet a preset cooling stop condition, and if yes, generate a sleep signal; the thermal runaway control module 104 is further configured to control the cooling mechanism to perform a cooling stop action on the target individual battery cell based on the sleep signal.
Specifically, the preset cooling stop condition is similar to the preset thermal runaway condition and includes any one of the following conditions:
firstly, the voltage of the single battery cell is in a normal voltage range, the duration time reaches a third preset time, meanwhile, the highest temperature around the single battery cell is smaller than a preset temperature, and the duration time reaches a fourth preset time.
And secondly, the voltage of the monomer battery cell is in a normal voltage range, the duration time reaches a third preset time, meanwhile, the temperature change rate around the monomer battery cell is smaller than a preset rate, and the duration time reaches a fourth preset time.
And thirdly, the voltage of the monomer battery cell is in a normal voltage range, the duration time reaches a third preset time, meanwhile, the temperature difference around the monomer battery cell is smaller than the preset temperature difference, and the duration time reaches a fourth preset time.
Fourthly, the highest temperature around the single battery cell is smaller than the preset temperature, the duration time reaches the fourth preset time, and meanwhile the number of faults of the voltage sampling circuit of the single battery cell is 0.
Fifthly, the single battery cell is in a normal voltage range, the duration time reaches a third preset time, and meanwhile the number of faults of the voltage sampling circuit of the single battery cell is 0.
Sixthly, the temperature difference around the single battery cell is smaller than the preset temperature difference, the duration time reaches the fourth preset time, and meanwhile the number of faults of the voltage sampling circuit of the single battery cell is 0.
And seventhly, the failure number of the temperature sensors is less than or equal to 1, and the fault number of the voltage sampling circuit of the single battery cell is 0.
Similarly, whether the single battery cell is recovered to be normal or not can be judged according to the voltage and the ambient temperature of the single battery cell, the number of faults occurring on a voltage line of the single battery cell and the failure number of the temperature sensors can be determined according to the voltage and the ambient temperature of the single battery cell, and whether the single battery cell is recovered to be normal or not is judged according to the combination of the number and the temperature or the combination of the number and the voltage.
When the controller 102 determines that the target individual battery cell is normal, the controller determines that the target individual battery cell is normal, and generates dormancy information, the thermal runaway control module 103 controls the cooling mechanism 104 to stop cooling operation based on the dormancy information.
The operation of the system for preventing thermal runaway will be described below by way of example.
To a battery package A, including 8 battery modules, each battery module includes 4 electric cores, and according to the voltage platform by low to high principle with its serial number for monomer electricity core 1, monomer electricity core 2, monomer electricity core 3, monomer electricity core 4 belong to battery module 1, monomer electricity core 5, monomer electricity core 6, monomer electricity core 7, monomer electricity core 8 belong to battery module 2. Analogize in proper order, the branch of giving vent to anger of 8 gas-supply pipes of this cooling mechanism 104 arranges respectively near 8 battery modules, all be provided with an solenoid valve on the branch of giving vent to anger of every gas-supply pipe, the serial number of solenoid valve corresponds the serial number of battery module, when the signal that controller 102 was gathered according to collection module 101 confirms that target monomer electricity core 3 appears the thermal runaway, control signal is sent to thermal runaway control module 103, including the monomer electricity core coordinate that appears the thermal runaway in this control signal, 3 numbers promptly, then high-pressure gas generating device 201 in the thermal runaway control module 103 control cooling mechanism 104 inputs high-pressure gas to turbine pipe 202, and open corresponding solenoid valve 1, in order to realize the cooling to the battery module 1 that target monomer electricity core 3 locates to. When the controller 102 receives a signal that the target monomer electric core 3 fed back by the acquisition module 101 has recovered to be normal, the controller sends a sleep signal to the thermal runaway control module 103 to control the electromagnetic valve 1 corresponding to the battery module 1 in the cooling mechanism 104 to be closed, so as to stop the cooling operation.
