The formation is a process of activating the injected battery, so that chemical reaction occurs inside the battery to form an SEI film, wherein the quality of the SEI film can influence the working performance of the battery in the charge-discharge cycle process.
In general, a battery generates some gases during formation, and the gases affect the formation of an SEI film. In order to reduce the influence of gases generated during the formation of a battery on an SEI film, the battery needs to discharge the gases in real time during the formation.
In the related art, a battery with injected liquid is placed in a negative pressure formation machine, and an electrode of the battery is connected through a charging wire to perform a battery formation procedure, wherein the negative pressure formation machine can adjust the air pressure inside the battery, so that the air generated in the battery formation process can be discharged in real time.

In order to reduce the occurrence of the above situations in the battery formation process, the embodiment of the application proposes to simulate the physical phenomenon in the battery formation process and evaluate the formation parameters in the simulated formation process according to the detected overflow parameters of the electrolyte, so that more suitable formation parameters can be selected for the actual battery formation process, and the situations of electrolyte overflow and/or electrolyte crystallization in the battery formation process can be reduced.

It should be appreciated that a negative pressure source (not shown in fig. 1) may also be included in the modeling system of an embodiment of the present application in connection with the extraction channel 103 in order to provide a negative pressure environment for the extraction channel 103.
Illustratively, the liquid inlet 113 of the battery to be tested in the embodiment of the present application may be connected to the air suction channel 103 in the simulation modeling apparatus 10 by being aligned with the suction nozzle 102 of the simulation modeling apparatus 10; of course, the liquid filling port 113 of the battery to be tested may also be connected to the air suction channel 103 in the analog forming apparatus 10 in other manners, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, fig. 4 is a flow chart of a formation parameter evaluation method according to some embodiments of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:
step S401, gas is introduced into the battery to be tested located in the simulation forming apparatus through the battery air supply part on the battery to be tested.
In the embodiment of the application, under the condition that the air suction channel in the simulation forming equipment is opened to negative pressure, the battery air supply part on the battery to be tested can introduce air into the battery to be tested.
The gas introduced into the battery gas supply unit may be, for example, air in a case of the simulation chemical equipment or a dedicated gas supplied from the simulation chemical equipment.
In a possible implementation manner, in the case where the gas introduced into the battery air supply portion is air in the case of the simulation forming apparatus, the inlet of the battery air supply portion of the battery to be tested is exposed to the case of the simulation forming apparatus so that the air in the case enters the content of the battery to be tested through the battery air supply portion.
In another possible implementation manner, in the case where the gas introduced into the gas supply portion of the battery is a dedicated gas provided by the simulation forming apparatus, fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the simulation forming apparatus provided in other embodiments of the present application, and the simulation forming apparatus 10 may include, but is not limited to: a gas source 104, a tank 101 and a ventilation portion 105 located on the tank 101. For example, the type of gas provided by the gas source 104 may be the type of gas produced by the cell during the actual formation process.
Illustratively, one end of the ventilation part 105 is connected to the gas source 104, and the other end of the ventilation part 105 is connected to a battery gas supply part of a battery to be tested located in the simulation forming apparatus 10, for supplying gas to the battery to be tested, so that gas flow through preset gas can be realized to more accurately simulate gas generation and gas discharge processes in the battery formation process, and thus formation parameters in the simulation formation process can be more accurately evaluated.
And step S402, exhausting gas from a liquid injection port of the battery to be tested through an air exhaust channel in the simulation forming equipment.
In this embodiment of the present application, when the air extraction channel in the simulation forming device is opened to a negative pressure, the gas that is introduced into the battery to be tested from the battery air supply unit on the battery to be tested may be discharged from the liquid injection port of the battery to be tested through the air extraction channel in the simulation forming device. Therefore, under the condition that the air suction channel is opened to negative pressure, air can be sucked into the battery to be tested from the battery air supply part on the battery to be tested, and is sucked to the liquid injection port from the bottom of the battery to be tested, which is equivalent to simulating the process of generating air in the actual formation process of the battery and the process of exhausting air.
And step S403, evaluating formation parameters corresponding to the battery to be tested according to overflow parameters of the electrolyte in the battery to be tested in the gas discharge process.
It will be appreciated that in the case of bringing out electrolyte during the simulated gas evacuation, the electrolyte tends to crystallize in the suction nozzle or suction channel. As the amount of crystallization increases, the degree of blockage of the bleed passages is increased, so that the flow rate of the bleed passages will decrease.
The overflow parameter in the embodiment of the application can be used for indicating the overflow condition of the electrolyte of the battery to be tested in the simulation formation process. Illustratively, overflow parameters in embodiments of the present application may include, but are not limited to: the gas flow parameter is used for indicating gas flow information in the simulated battery formation process, or the electrolyte crystallization weight parameter is used for indicating electrolyte crystallization information in the simulated battery formation process.
In a possible implementation manner, in the case that the overflow parameter includes a gas flow parameter, the gas flow parameter in the embodiment of the present application may be a parameter measured by a first flow meter disposed on the pumping channel, or the gas flow parameter may be a parameter measured by a second flow meter disposed on the gas supply portion of the battery.
Of course, the gas flow parameter in the embodiment of the present application may also be a parameter measured by other manners, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
In another possible implementation, where the overflow parameter includes an electrolyte crystallization weight parameter, the electrolyte crystallization weight parameter in embodiments of the present application may be a parameter measured according to a weight change of the suction nozzle.
It will be appreciated that electrolyte that overflows from the cell to be tested may form crystals in the suction nozzle and may also form crystals in the suction channel. The weight of the electrolyte crystals generated during this period of time can be indirectly estimated by periodically comparing the weight changes of the suction nozzle.
Of course, the electrolyte crystallization weight parameter in the embodiment of the present application may also be a parameter measured by other means, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
In this step, according to the overflow parameter of the electrolyte in the battery to be tested in the gas discharging process, the formation parameter corresponding to the battery to be tested may be evaluated, where the evaluation may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: and (3) evaluating overflow of the electrolyte, crystallizing of the electrolyte, and blocking of the air suction channel.
For example, for an arbitrary formation parameter corresponding to a battery to be tested, if the electrolyte of the battery to be tested overflows or crystallizes more in the formation process under the formation parameter, the formation parameter is more unsuitable.
As another example, for an arbitrary formation parameter corresponding to a battery to be tested, if the electrolyte of the battery to be tested is more severely blocked in the formation simulation process under the formation parameter, the formation parameter is more unsuitable.
It should be understood that when it is detected that the electrolyte overflows more under any formation parameter, the overflow condition of the electrolyte of the battery to be tested in the simulation formation process under the adjusted formation parameter may be observed by adjusting some or all of the formation parameters, … …, and so on, until an appropriate formation parameter is determined, so that the electrolyte does not overflow or overflows less in the simulation formation process.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the formation parameters corresponding to the battery to be tested can be evaluated according to the overflow parameters of the electrolyte in the battery to be tested in the gas discharge process, so that more proper formation parameters can be selected by adjusting the formation parameters, technical support can be provided for reducing the conditions of electrolyte overflow and/or electrolyte crystallization and the like in the actual battery formation process, and the conditions of electrolyte overflow and/or electrolyte crystallization and the like in the battery formation process can be reduced.
Illustratively, the formation parameters in embodiments of the present application may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: negative pressure parameters of the air suction channel, temperature parameters in the simulation forming equipment and electrolyte quantity parameters in the battery to be tested.
In summary, in the embodiment of the present application, gas is introduced into the battery to be tested located in the simulation forming apparatus through the battery air supply portion on the battery to be tested, and is discharged from the liquid injection port of the battery to be tested through the air exhaust channel in the simulation forming apparatus. Further, according to the overflow parameters of the electrolyte in the battery to be tested in the gas discharging process, the formation parameters corresponding to the battery to be tested are evaluated. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, by simulating the physical process of generating gas and exhausting gas in the battery formation process, and according to the overflow parameter of the electrolyte in the battery to be tested in the gas exhaust process, the formation parameter corresponding to the battery to be tested can be evaluated, so that more proper formation parameters can be selected for the actual battery formation process, the conditions of electrolyte overflow and/or electrolyte crystallization and the like in the battery formation process can be reduced, and therefore, the performance of the battery and the formation machine can be guaranteed, and the production efficiency of the battery can be improved.
In some embodiments, if the overflow parameter includes a gas flow parameter based on the above embodiments, the formation parameter evaluation method according to the embodiments of the present application may further determine the cleaning frequency of the air extraction channel according to the gas flow parameter.
For example, the blockage level of the pumping channel may be identified based on the real-time gas flow parameter and the initial gas flow parameter, so that the cleaning frequency of the pumping channel may be determined.
For example, in the case that the real-time gas flow parameter is detected to be half of the initial gas flow parameter, the blockage degree of the air extraction channel is recognized to exceed the preset blockage threshold value, so that the air extraction channel is determined to need to be cleaned.
Still further exemplary, the degree of blockage of the bleed passage may be identified based on the real-time gas flow parameter and a preset gas flow threshold, such that the frequency of cleaning of the bleed passage may be determined.
For example, if the real-time gas flow parameter is detected to be smaller than the preset gas flow threshold, the blockage degree of the air extraction channel is identified to exceed the preset blockage threshold, so that the air extraction channel is determined to need to be cleaned.
Of course, the cleaning frequency of the air pumping channel may be determined by other manners according to the gas flow parameter, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
According to the embodiment of the application, the air extraction channel of the simulation forming equipment can be timely cleaned by monitoring the air flow parameters in real time and determining the cleaning frequency of the air extraction channel according to the air flow parameters, so that the working performance of the simulation forming equipment is improved.
In some embodiments, on the basis of the above embodiments, the description is given of the related contents of the battery air supply part 112 of the battery to be tested in the embodiments of the present application.

Illustratively, the control portion in the embodiments of the present application may include, but is not limited to: and the check valve is arranged on the air supply port and used for controlling the gas unidirectional mobility of the air supply port so as to more accurately simulate the gas mobility in the battery formation process. For example, a one-way valve may control the flow of gas from the gas bleed into the interior of the battery to be tested, but not from the interior of the battery to be tested.
Still another exemplary, the control part in the embodiment of the present application may include, but is not limited to: and a throttle valve provided in the air feed port, wherein the throttle valve can be used for controlling the air flow rate of the air feed port.
Correspondingly, the formation parameter evaluation method of the embodiment of the application can also adjust the opening degree of the throttle valve according to the gas flow parameter so as to simulate the battery formation process of different gas production speeds.
Still another exemplary, the control part in the embodiment of the present application may include, but is not limited to: the check valve and the throttle valve are arranged on the air supply port so as to simulate the battery formation process of different gas production speeds more accurately.

Still another exemplary, the control part in the embodiment of the present application may include, but is not limited to: the one-way throttle valve is arranged on the air supply port, wherein the one-way throttle valve can be used for controlling the one-way fluidity of the air supply port and the air flow of the air supply port, so that the battery formation process of different gas production speeds can be simulated more accurately.
For ease of understanding, the embodiment described below will further describe the simulation system by taking the example in which the control part in the battery air supply part 112 includes the check valve F1 and the throttle valve F2 provided at the air supply port.
Fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a simulation system according to other embodiments of the present application, and as shown in fig. 6, a battery to be tested according to an embodiment of the present application may include: a battery body 111, a battery air supply portion 112, and a liquid filling port (not shown in fig. 6). Illustratively, the battery body 111 may include, but is not limited to, an aluminum case body.

As shown in fig. 6, the battery to be tested may be located in a tray of the simulation modeling apparatus, and a liquid filling port of the battery to be tested may be aligned and fitted with the suction nozzle 102 of the simulation modeling apparatus. It should be noted that, because the battery to be tested is simulated in the embodiment of the present application, the electrode of the battery to be tested in the embodiment of the present application is not connected to the charging line, and does not perform the charge/discharge treatment.
In this embodiment of the present application, by opening the negative pressure of the air suction channel 103 in the simulation forming apparatus, the gas in the box 101 of the simulation forming apparatus may be drawn into the battery to be tested by the throttle valve F2 of the battery to be tested, and drawn out to the suction nozzle 102 of the simulation forming apparatus by the liquid injection port of the battery to be tested, which is equivalent to simulating the process of generating the gas in the actual forming process of the battery and the process of exhausting the gas.
