Specifically, the battery cell module is used as a power source of the electric vehicle, the electric quantity and the voltage of the battery cell module directly influence the power output of the electric vehicle, and the electric vehicle needs to acquire the state information of the battery cell module in real time so as to reasonably plan the use of the electric vehicle. Monitoring the state of the battery cell module in real time through various sensors, for example, detecting the current state of the battery cell module through a current sensor; for example, the voltage state of the cell module is detected by a voltage sensor. The state of the battery cell module can be effectively judged through the detected numerical value, and the battery cell module can be judged to be damaged through sudden change of the voltage or the current of the battery cell module, so that the battery cell module needs to be replaced and maintained in time.

in step S331, a heat insulating material is added to the first sub explosion-proof channel or the second sub explosion-proof channel away from the damaged side.
Specifically, to avoid wasting of the insulation material while avoiding the insulation material from affecting the cutting efficiency, the insulation material is added in the first sub explosion-proof channel or the second sub explosion-proof channel away from the damaged side. The distance from the first notch to the damaged side is 50 mm, the distance from the second notch to the damaged side is 100 mm, one side close to the first sub-explosion-proof channel is the damaged side, one side close to the second sub-explosion-proof channel is the normal side, the heat insulation material is added into the second sub-explosion-proof channel, the battery cell module cuts along the first notch close to the damaged side, the heat insulation material cannot be cut in the cutting process, so that the cutting efficiency is guaranteed, meanwhile, the heat insulation material is added into the second sub-explosion-proof channel, and the influence of high temperature on a battery cell at the normal side when the first notch is cut is effectively avoided.
