Detailed Description
In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. This application is, however, susceptible of embodiment in many other forms than those described herein and similar modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the application, and therefore the application is not to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a temperature controller 100 is disclosed to achieve at least the accuracy of temperature detection and uniformity of temperature control. Specifically, the temperature controller 100 includes a conductive wire set 110, a temperature sensor 120, and a PTC heater 130, where the conductive wire set 110 is used for being laid in a temperature measuring area. The temperature sensor 120 includes a plurality of temperature-sensing thermistors 122, the plurality of temperature-sensing thermistors 122 are disposed on the conductive wire set 110 at intervals along the length direction of the conductive wire set 110, and the plurality of temperature-sensing thermistors 122 are connected in parallel through the conductive wire set 110. The PTC heater 130 includes a plurality of PTC heating resistors 132, the plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 are disposed on the conductive wire set 110 at intervals along the length direction of the conductive wire set 110, and the plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 are connected in parallel through the conductive wire set 110, and each PTC heating resistor 132 is disposed at intervals with the temperature sensing thermistor 122.
The conductive wire set 110 of the temperature control device 100 is laid in a temperature measurement area, for example, in an embodiment, the temperature control device 100 is applied in a battery system, the temperature measurement area may be inside a battery cell, and the plurality of temperature sensing thermistors 122 are arranged on the conductive wire set 110 at intervals along the length direction of the conductive wire set 110, so as to realize that the plurality of temperature sensing thermistors 122 are distributed in the temperature measurement area, and detect temperatures at a plurality of positions by utilizing the plurality of temperature sensing thermistors 122. Because the plurality of temperature sensing thermistors 122 are connected in parallel through the conductive wire group 110, the multi-point simultaneous temperature measurement can be realized, the traditional single-point temperature measurement is improved to the multi-point simultaneous temperature measurement, and the temperature change can be monitored according to the output parallel signals as long as the temperature in the temperature measurement area is unevenly changed, such as the temperature in a certain position is increased or decreased.
Meanwhile, the plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 are arranged on the conductive wire set 110 at intervals along the length direction of the conductive wire set 110, and each PTC heating resistor 132 is arranged at intervals with the temperature sensing thermistor 122, so that the plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 are distributed and arranged in the temperature measuring area. And the PTC thermistor 132 is a positive temperature coefficient thermistor whose resistance value increases with an increase in temperature. Therefore, when the voltage of the PTC heating resistor 132 is constant, the heat generated in the low temperature environment is generally greater than that generated in the high temperature environment. This is because the PTC heating resistor 132 has a low resistance value at a low temperature, and the PTC heating resistor 132 generates a large amount of heat because the energy consumed by the PTC heating resistor 132 is converted into heat when a current passes through the resistor. In the case of high temperature, the resistance value of the PTC heating resistor 132 increases, and the power decreases when the current passes through, so that less heat is generated.
Therefore, when the internal temperature of the battery is lowered, the PTC heater 130 can be activated to heat the temperature measuring region at a plurality of positions simultaneously. And because a plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 are connected in parallel through the conductive wire group 110, and then the input voltage of a plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 is unanimous, the resistance value of PTC heating resistor 132 in the position of high temperature is high, and the electric current is little, and the calorific capacity is little, and the resistance value of PTC heating resistor 132 in the position of low temperature is low, and the electric current is big, and the calorific capacity is big, realizes providing different heating temperatures according to the difference of battery inside temperature. Therefore, the PTC heating resistor 132 can be used to heat the inside of the device at a plurality of positions simultaneously, and the heating temperature can be different according to the temperature of each position, thereby improving the uniformity of the temperature in the temperature measuring region.
In the present embodiment, the temperature-sensitive thermistor 122 is an NTC thermistor. The NTC thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient thermistor, and as the body temperature of the NTC thermistor increases, the resistance value of the NTC decreases. The battery has the characteristics of small fluctuation of resistance value-temperature characteristic and quick response to various temperature changes while realizing miniaturization, and can detect the temperature change in the battery with high sensitivity and high precision. Compared with the optical fiber temperature measurement, the NTC thermistor has low cost, simple modulation circuit and easy construction, and compared with the traditional method for collecting the single-point temperature of the positive electrode tab or the negative electrode tab of the battery cell, the NTC thermistor has high response speed and can collect a more comprehensive temperature state.
In this embodiment, the temperature sensing thermistor 122 is not a PTC thermistor. First, the NTC thermistor has a larger temperature coefficient, and the resistance value is more significantly changed with respect to the change of temperature, is more sensitive in temperature measurement, and can provide a more accurate temperature measurement result. The resistance value of the PTC thermistor has a complex relation with the temperature change, and high-precision temperature measurement is not easy to realize. Secondly, the NTC thermistor has a wider temperature measurement range and can cover a range from extremely low temperature to higher temperature. While PTC thermistors are suitable for use in high temperature areas. Then, since the temperature response of the NTC thermistor is faster, the temperature change can be sensed and reflected more quickly, and thus, it is suitable for applications requiring a higher sampling frequency and more timely response to the change. Finally, NTC thermistors produce less self-heating in operation relative to PTC thermistors, which helps to reduce errors in measurement results. Furthermore, NTCs are low in manufacturing cost and have a long service life and good stability.
In an embodiment, the conductive wire set 110 includes a temperature sensing conductive wire 111, a middle conductive wire 112 and a heating conductive wire 113, the temperature sensing conductive wire 111, the middle conductive wire 112 and the heating conductive wire 113 are sequentially arranged in parallel at intervals, two ends of each temperature sensing thermistor 122 are respectively arranged on the temperature sensing conductive wire 111 and the middle conductive wire 112, a plurality of temperature sensing thermistors 122 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the temperature sensing conductive wire 111, two ends of each PTC heating resistor 132 are respectively arranged on the middle conductive wire 112 and the heating conductive wire 113, a plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the heating conductive wire 113, and the PTC heating resistors 132 and the temperature sensing thermistors 122 are arranged at intervals on the middle conductive wire 112.
By arranging the temperature sensing conductive yarn 111 and the middle conductive yarn 112 in parallel at intervals, the plurality of temperature sensing thermistors 122 are conveniently connected in parallel. The plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 are conveniently connected in parallel by the intermediate conductive wires 112 being arranged in parallel with the heating conductive wires 113 at a spacing. And the PTC heating resistor 132 and the temperature sensing thermistor 122 share the middle conductive wire 112, so that on one hand, the arrangement space is saved, and on the other hand, the conducting wire material is saved, and the cost is further reduced.
Specifically, each of the temperature-sensing thermistors 122 is sintered on the temperature-sensing conductive wire 111 and the middle conductive wire 112, and the plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 are sintered on the middle conductive wire 112 and the heating conductive wire 113. The temperature sensing thermistor 122 and the PTC heating resistor 132 are sintered on the conductive wire set 110 using different processes. The temperature sensing thermistor 122 material and the PTC heating resistor 132 material are fixed to the conductive wire group 110 by sintering during processing, and the temperature control device 100 with a small thickness can be formed. The temperature control assembly disperses the temperature-sensing thermistor 122 and the inherent thinking of point temperature measurement by adopting parallel connection of which the whole is zero, and the resistance influence caused by the temperature of each dispersed individual temperature-sensing thermistor 122 can be reflected in the whole parallel resistor, thereby realizing the effects of line temperature measurement and surface temperature measurement. The PTC heating resistors 132 heat the surface, and the heating amount can be adaptively adjusted according to the temperature.
In an embodiment, the temperature sensing conductive wire 111, the middle conductive wire 112 and the heating conductive wire 113 are all coated with insulating layers, so that the insulating layers are used to avoid the influence of the temperature sensing conductive wire 111, the middle conductive wire 112 and the heating conductive wire 113 on the internal environment of the battery in the temperature measuring area. Specifically, the insulating layer may be a polyimide film, which has better corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, bending resistance, and thinness, is favorable for making the temperature control device 100 small, thin, flexible, and can be arranged on different temperature measuring points according to the needs. In this embodiment, the diameters of the temperature sensing conductive wire 111, the intermediate conductive wire 112 and the heating conductive wire 113 may be about 0.05 mm.
Specifically, the temperature-sensitive thermistor 122 has a thickness of 0.2mm to 0.3mm. The thickness of the PTC heating resistor 132 is 0.2mm to 0.3mm, so that the overall thickness of the temperature controlling device 100 is small, and the temperature controlling device is conveniently arranged in an environment such as the inside of a battery, and the size of the temperature controlling device 100 is prevented from affecting the structural environment in the temperature measuring region.
In the present embodiment, a PTC heating resistor 132 is disposed between two adjacent temperature sensing thermistors 122 on the middle conductive wire 112. Since the temperature sensing thermistor 122 and the PTC heating resistor 132 share the middle conductive wire 112, the PTC heating resistor 132 can be arranged between the two temperature sensing thermistors 122, and interference between the temperature sensing thermistors 122 and the PTC heating resistor 132 is avoided.
In another embodiment, the conductive wire set 110 includes two temperature sensing conductive wires 111 and two heating conductive wires 113, the two temperature sensing conductive wires 111 are arranged in parallel, and two ends of each temperature sensing thermistor 122 are respectively arranged on the two temperature sensing conductive wires 111; the two heating conductive wires 113 are arranged in parallel, and two ends of each PTC heating resistor 132 are respectively arranged on the two heating conductive wires 113. The two temperature sensing conductive wires 111 are arranged in parallel at intervals, so that the plurality of temperature sensing thermistors 122 are conveniently connected in parallel. The two heating conductive wires 113 are arranged in parallel at intervals, so that the plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 are conveniently connected in parallel.
Specifically, each of the temperature-sensing thermistors 122 may be sintered on two of the temperature-sensing conductive wires 111. Each PTC heating resistor 132 is sintered to two heating conductive wires 113. The PTC thermistor 132 can be machined to be identical to the sensing thermistor 122.
In one embodiment, the conductive wire set 110 is configured to be arranged in a meandering manner in the temperature measurement region. By arranging the conductive wire group 110 in a zigzag manner in the temperature measurement area, the plurality of temperature sensing thermistors 122 and the plurality of PTC thermistors 132 can be distributed in zigzag manner at various positions of the temperature measurement area, so that temperature measurement and thermal compensation from point to face can be realized.
Specifically, the plurality of temperature sensing thermistors 122 are uniformly distributed at each position on the conductive wire set 110, so that the temperature at each position of the temperature measuring region can be uniformly detected. In other embodiments, the temperature sensing thermistors 122 may be unevenly distributed in the conductive line set 110, as may be desired for temperature measurement.
Specifically, the PTC heating resistors 132 are uniformly distributed at each position on the conductive wire set 110, so that temperature compensation can be uniformly performed for each position of the temperature measurement region. In other embodiments, the plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 may also be unevenly distributed within the conductive wire set 110, as may be required for temperature compensation.
Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 4, in an embodiment, the application further discloses a battery temperature control assembly 10, where the battery temperature control assembly 10 includes the temperature control device 100, the temperature controller, and the switch 200 in any of the embodiments, the switch 200 is electrically connected to the conductive wire set 110, the switch 200 is capable of switching and controlling the power on of the temperature sensor 120 and/or the power on of the PTC heater 130, and the temperature controller is used for controlling whether the switch 200 is turned on the PTC heater 130 according to the sensing signal of the temperature sensor 120. For example, the change-over switch 200 can switch control the energization of the temperature sensor 120 or the energization of the PTC heater 130. In other embodiments, the changeover switch 200 may also keep the temperature sensor 120 on when switching on the PTC heater 130.
The temperature controller obtains the current temperature value monitored by the temperature sensor 120, and when the current temperature value is equal to or smaller than the temperature compensation temperature threshold value, the temperature controller controls the change-over switch 200 to enable the PTC heater 130 to be electrified and started, and the PTC heater 130 is used for heating to realize temperature compensation, so that the temperature of the temperature measurement area is balanced. After the PTC heater 130 is started to operate for a preset temperature compensation time, the temperature controller circularly acquires the current temperature value monitored by the temperature sensor 120 until the current temperature value is higher than the temperature compensation temperature threshold value, and the temperature controller controls the change-over switch 200 to switch on the temperature sensor 120, so that the PTC heater 130 stops operating. By providing the temperature controller and the change-over switch 200, the operation of the PTC heater 130 can be started according to the result detected by the temperature sensor 120, preventing the PTC heater 130 from being excessively heated or being not heated in place.
In this embodiment, the switch 200 is connected to the intermediate conductive wire 112, and the switch 200 is used for switching and connecting the intermediate conductive wire 112 and the temperature sensing conductive wire 111 or the intermediate conductive wire 112 and the heating conductive wire 113.
In this embodiment, the temperature controller may be used to control the operation, switching time, and switching frequency of the switch 200. Further, the temperature controller may also be used to control the input voltage. For example, the operating voltage of the PTC heater 130 may be 220V ac or 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V dc, etc., and the operating voltage of the temperature sensor 120 may be 5V dc or 24V dc, etc., to ensure that the current is less than 1mA. And then the input voltage can be controlled to be changed when the PTC heater 130 and the temperature sensor 120 are switched on, so as to adapt to the requirements of the PTC heater 130 and the temperature sensor 120 on different working voltages.
In an embodiment, the battery temperature control assembly 10 further includes a sampling resistor 300 and a voltage collector 400, the sampling resistor 300 is connected in series with the conductive wire set 110, the voltage collector 400 is used for collecting voltages at two ends of the sampling resistor 300, and the temperature controller is used for judging the collection temperature of the temperature sensor 120 according to the collection signal of the voltage collector 400. Specifically, the sampling resistor 300 is connected in series with the middle conductive wire 112, and since the sampling resistor 300 is connected in series with the temperature sensor 120, when the temperature sensor 120 is turned on, the voltages at two ends of the temperature sensor 120 can be obtained by the voltages at two ends of the sampling resistor 300 collected by the voltage collector 400, and then the resistance value of the temperature sensor 120 can be obtained, i.e. the temperature value monitored by the temperature sensor 120 can be converted.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 4 and fig. 5, in an embodiment, the present application further discloses a battery temperature control method, which is applied to the battery system in any one of the above embodiments. Specifically, the battery temperature control method includes:
step S100: acquiring a current temperature value monitored by the temperature sensor 120;
step S200: when the current temperature value is equal to or less than the temperature compensation temperature threshold value, the PTC heater 130 is controlled to be started;
step S300: after the PTC heater 130 is started to operate for a preset temperature compensation time, the current temperature value monitored by the temperature sensor 120 is circularly obtained until the current temperature value is higher than the temperature compensation temperature threshold value, and the PTC heater 130 is controlled to stop operating.
In the above method for controlling the temperature of the battery, the conductive wire set 110 of the temperature control device 100 is laid in a temperature measuring area, which may be the inside of the battery, and the temperature measuring area uses a plurality of temperature sensing thermistors 122 to detect the temperature at a plurality of positions, for example, the temperature at a certain position increases or decreases, and according to the output parallel signal, the temperature change can be monitored, so as to obtain the current temperature value monitored by the temperature sensor 120. In the case where the temperature is low, that is, when the current temperature value monitored by the temperature sensor 120 is equal to or less than the temperature compensation temperature threshold value, the PTC heater 130 is controlled to be activated. The PTC heating resistors 132 are distributed in the temperature measuring region, so that a plurality of positions of the temperature measuring region can be heated synchronously. And because a plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 are connected in parallel through the conductive wire group 110, the resistance value of the PTC heating resistor 132 increases along with the increase of the temperature, the input voltage of the plurality of PTC heating resistors 132 is consistent, and then the resistance value of the PTC heating resistor 132 at the position with high temperature is high, the current is small, the heating value is small, and the resistance value of the PTC heating resistor 132 at the position with low temperature is low, the current is large, the heating value is large, and different heating temperatures are provided according to the difference of the internal temperature of the battery. After the PTC heater 130 is started to operate for a preset temperature compensation time, the current temperature value monitored by the temperature sensor 120 is circularly obtained until the current temperature value is higher than the temperature compensation temperature threshold value, so that temperature compensation of the inside of the battery is completed, and the PTC heater 130 is controlled to stop operating.
The battery temperature control method improves the reliability and accuracy of temperature detection by using the plurality of temperature sensing thermistors 122, realizes synchronous heating from a plurality of positions inside by using the plurality of PTC heating resistors 132, and improves the uniformity of the temperature inside the battery by changing the heating temperature according to the temperature of each position.
In one embodiment, the step S100: acquiring the current temperature value monitored by the temperature sensor 120, previously further includes:
controlling the input voltage of the temperature sensor 120 to be a first operating voltage;
the step S200: when the current temperature value is equal to or less than the temperature compensation temperature threshold value, the PTC heater 130 is controlled to be started, including:
when the current temperature value is equal to or less than the temperature compensation temperature threshold value, the temperature sensor 120 is controlled to be disconnected, the PTC heater 130 is controlled to be started, and the input voltage of the PTC heater 130 is regulated to be a second working voltage; wherein the second operating voltage is greater than the first operating voltage.
Since the operating voltage of the PTC heater 130 may be 220V ac or 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V, etc., the operating voltage of the temperature sensor 120 may be 5V dc or 24V dc, etc., and the current is ensured to be less than 1mA. And when the temperature sensor 120 works, the control input voltage is the first working voltage, so that the temperature sensor 120 is ensured to be used stably and reliably, and when the PTC heater 130 is started, the input voltage is switched to the second working voltage, so that the PTC heater 130 can effectively heat and compensate the battery, and the requirements of the PTC heater 130 and the temperature sensor 120 on different working voltages are met.
In one embodiment, the step S100: acquiring the current temperature value monitored by the temperature sensor 120, and then further comprises:
when the current temperature value is greater than the alarm temperature threshold value, starting a safety control program; wherein the alarm temperature threshold is greater than the first temperature threshold.
When the current temperature value is larger than the alarm temperature threshold value, the local temperature of the temperature measuring area is proved to reach the alarm temperature at the moment, safety processing is needed, and a safety control program is started. For example, in the battery cell, the safety control program may be to perform a power-off process on the battery cell to reduce the internal temperature of the battery cell. In other embodiments, the security control program may be other secure processing programs.
