Description

Simulation test device for investigating thermal runaway state of cylindrical lithium battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of lithium battery safety performance detection, in particular to a simulation test device for investigating a thermal runaway state of a cylindrical lithium battery.
Background
With the increasing severity of energy problems in recent years, lithium batteries have been rapidly developed in electric vehicles and electrochemical energy storage. However, with the improvement of the indexes such as energy density of the lithium battery, the safety problems of the lithium battery, including high voltage leakage, electrolyte leakage, etc., have been focused. Among them, thermal runaway inside batteries is an important factor for causing combustion and explosion of lithium batteries, and further research is urgently needed. Thermal runaway refers to the phenomenon that the temperature of a lithium battery is rapidly increased due to the fact that an internal diaphragm of the lithium battery is melted, internal short circuit is rapidly generated and converted to generate heat. The reasons for causing thermal runaway of lithium batteries are many, and can be generally divided into three categories: mechanical abuse, electrical abuse, and thermal abuse. Mechanical abuse means that when the battery is used, a large amount of heat is generated due to short circuit caused by external extrusion, collision and the like, side reaction is caused to generate heat, and further, the temperature is rapidly increased to cause thermal runaway. The electric abuse means that a battery generates a micro short circuit inside the battery due to the processes of overcharge, overdischarge and the like in the charging and discharging process, a large amount of heat is generated, side reactions are triggered to generate heat, and finally the thermal runaway of the battery is caused. Thermal abuse refers to the fact that the temperature of a battery is increased due to high external temperature, so that a series of side reactions are triggered to generate heat, the temperature of the battery is increased sharply, and thermal runaway is finally caused.
A series of exothermic side reactions occur in the thermal runaway process of lithium batteries, which mainly include Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) film decomposition, reaction between a negative electrode material and an electrolyte, reaction between a positive electrode material and the electrolyte, and the like. Generally, the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the electrolyte of a lithium battery should be operated within their safe and reliable temperature ranges. Once the temperature exceeds the safe temperature range, exothermic reactions begin to occur between the battery components, leading to abnormal increases in battery temperature and further exothermic reactions, which if not timely inhibited or prevented, can lead to thermal runaway of the battery.
Since the general operating temperature of a lithium battery may be higher than room temperature, and the lithium battery itself may generate heat during large-current charging and discharging, the actual operating temperature of the battery may easily reach an upper limit exceeding the recommended normal operating temperature. If the lithium battery is used in extreme environments such as hot environments, the heat generated by the battery in the circulation process is too large and cannot be dissipated in time, and the electrochemical performance may be significantly deteriorated and degraded due to the accumulation of the heat in the battery. When the temperature rises to the inner diaphragm of the battery and the diaphragm is melted, the anode and the cathode are short-circuited, and the battery has the possibility of generating the dangers of fire, combustion, explosion and the like.
In order to research the thermal safety characteristics of the lithium battery and reveal the thermal runaway law of the lithium battery, technicians often need to collect the change laws of characteristic parameters such as current, voltage, temperature and the like of the lithium battery (group) in the thermal runaway process by means of various experimental devices, and systematically investigate the whole process of the thermal runaway of the lithium battery. On the basis of deeply knowing a thermal runaway mechanism, a battery management system and an experimental device are designed to ensure the safe operation of a lithium battery (pack) at the initial life. Due to the fact that thermal runaway reaction of a large lithium battery module and a battery pack is violent, most of practical thermal runaway test researches only aim at lithium battery monomers and small battery packs formed by the lithium battery monomers in series and parallel connection. After the lithium battery monomers are connected in series and in parallel to form the small battery pack, large errors can be caused to the thermal runaway test result due to the performance difference among the monomers; in addition, the influence of various electrochemical effects such as impedance caused by a series-parallel combination mode in the small battery pack on the thermal runaway behavior of the lithium battery pack needs to be contrasted and analyzed by adopting an effective and convenient means under a standardized condition.
Chinese patent CN112526360A discloses a system and method for triggering and monitoring thermal runaway test of battery module. Battery module thermal runaway test triggers and monitoring system includes: at least one heater, at least one temperature sensor and a data collector. Each heater has the same volume, shape and size as one battery cell, and the heater replaces at least one target battery cell. The temperature sensor is arranged in the battery module and between any two adjacent battery monomers. The data collector is electrically connected with the temperature sensor and is used for obtaining temperature data detected by the temperature sensor. The system can trigger the thermal runaway of the battery system through heating, can select a real battery module as an experimental object to perform the thermal spread test of the battery monomer, and can also guide the design and operation of the battery thermal management system according to the test result of the thermal spread of the battery monomer to keep the original structure of the battery module, so that the test result has certain credibility.
Chinese patent CN209486268U discloses a thermal runaway test tool for a lithium battery monomer, which comprises a sealed box body, a base, an upper end surface fixing plate and a moving plate, wherein the base is horizontally arranged in the sealed box body; heating sheets are arranged on the fixed plate and the movable plate close to the detected lithium battery monomer side; a thermocouple temperature sensor is arranged on the heating surface of the detected lithium battery monomer; the detected lithium battery monomer is electrically connected with the charging and discharging equipment; the sealed box body is also provided with a pressure sensor for testing the pressure of the sealed box body after the lithium battery monomer is out of control due to heat; the thermocouple temperature sensor and the pressure sensor are electrically connected with the digital display device. The tool can simulate the space limitation in the real battery module according to the structure of the real battery module, and limit the bulging space of the battery monomer; testing the boundary condition of thermal runaway of the battery monomer; the data is more accurate, and the reliability is relatively higher.
Chinese patent CN113517577A relates to a temperature rise test patch panel and a temperature rise test connector, wherein the temperature rise test patch panel comprises a panel body and a wiring conductor unit, the wiring conductor unit comprises a wiring barrel and a binding post, the binding post is coaxially arranged in the wiring barrel, and an insulating sealing structure is arranged between the wiring barrel and the binding post; the wiring conductor unit is hermetically and insulatively arranged on the disc body, an inner connecting end is exposed at one side of the wiring disc, and an outer connecting end is exposed at the other side of the wiring disc; the wiring barrel is used for being in conductive connection with an outer ring conductor of the temperature rise test connector, and the wiring terminal is used for being in conductive connection with a central conductor of the temperature rise test connector. Because the wiring barrel and the wiring terminal have rigidity, after the wiring barrel and the wiring terminal are sealed and insulated on the tray body, the sealing performance is not easily influenced by torsional stretching, and air leakage is avoided; moreover, two paired thermocouple wires can be connected on the temperature rise test wiring tray through one-time connection operation of the temperature rise test connector, and wiring is convenient.
The constant temperature and humidity test box can simulate the environments with different temperatures and humidity, and is suitable for researching the thermal runaway behavior of the lithium battery under different working conditions. When the lithium battery module is subjected to thermal runaway test in the constant temperature and humidity box, the heat released after the thermal runaway of the lithium battery monomer can be diffused into the adjacent lithium battery monomer, and the real lithium battery module has a complex process structure and large difference among individuals, so that large errors can be caused to the thermal runaway test result, and the repeatability of the test result is poor; the series-parallel connection mode and the function among different model modules are different, the material types of the battery monomers are also different, the influence factors of the test result are too many, and the comparative analysis is difficult to carry out. Meanwhile, in the design process of a real module, because factors such as a safety function, a monitoring function and the like need to be considered, the process structure needs to be redesigned when the serial and parallel structures are changed, and the process structure is almost equivalent to redesign. It is difficult to analyze the thermal runaway state of the battery under different series-parallel connection structures.
In addition, the traditional movable patch panel is widely applied in battery research work. However, the splice tray in the market at present has some defects when in use, for example, the cable inside the splice tray is not favorable for ventilation, the cable inside the splice tray is easily aged, and the flat cable inside the splice tray is too complicated, which is not favorable for fast switching the series and parallel connection modes of the battery (pack).
Chinese patent CN112526360A, "a system and method for triggering and monitoring thermal runaway test of battery module", has the following disadvantages: the device only has a thermal runaway trigger mode of heating, can not simulate the conditions of overcharge, overdischarge, external short circuit and the like which can occur in the actual use process of the battery module, and has limitation.
