Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the top view of valve regulation type lead accumulator group of the present invention 1 (VRLA), and it mainly comprises flat electrode plate structure.This battery pack 1 has six battery 2-7.Each battery is separated by battery next door 8 and adjacent cell.Each cell package is in battery container 9.Each battery comprises negative plates 10, and it separates by interlayer 12 and anode plate 11.As shown in Figure 3, each negative plates has lug plate 13 and 14 and stretches out from offside.Similarly, each anode plate has lug plate 15 and 16 and stretches out from offside.
Referring to Fig. 1, each lug plate 16 that is attached to anode plate is connected to positive bus bar 17 again, and each lug plate 14 that is attached to negative plates is connected to negative bus bar 18.
The negative bus bar 18 of battery 2 is connected to the positive bus bar 17 of battery 3 by welding point in the battery 19.Similarly, the negative bus bar 18 of battery 3 is connected to the positive bus bar 17 of battery 4 by welding point 20.And the like, similarly, battery 4,5,6 and 7 is connected to each other by welding point 21,22 and 23 like this, has the battery pack that rated capacity is 12V thereby each battery is connected in series with formation.Figure 3 shows that on the cell wall separating part and weld in the battery of structure face-to-face.Fig. 4 contrasts view for Fig. 3, wherein is depicted as Welding Structure in the another kind of battery, and it is not on the cell wall separating part but therefrom pass in this view.In Fig. 1, terminal 24 is connected to the positive bus bar 17 of battery 2, and this terminal 25 is connected to the negative bus bar 18 of battery 7.
When the bottom from Fig. 2, this battery has similar structure, and positive bus bar 26 is connected to the cathode-chip wiring 15 that is attached on the anode plate, and negative bus bar 27 is connected to the cathode wiring plate 13 that is attached on the negative plates.Similarly, battery 2,3,4,5,6 is connected with 32 by the welding point 28,29,30,31 in any side of battery pack with 7.Fig. 2 shows that also the busbar 26 of battery 2 has the positive terminal 34 that connects on it, and the negative bus bar 27 of battery 7 has the negative terminal 33 that connects on it.Therefore, referring to Fig. 1 and 2, battery pack 1 has two positive terminals and two negative terminals, and they are also as shown in Fig. 3 and 4.
At work, enter separately positive terminal and negative terminal by busbar, thereby the average shorter path from the pole plate to the terminal is provided in battery top and bottom from the electric current of each pole plate top and bottom.Similarly, this structure provide by busbar and outwards by terminal from the pole plate heat radiation than short path.
Fig. 5 a is the top view of another execution mode of VRLA battery pack 40 of the present invention, and it comprises the screw winding electrode plate structure.This battery pack 40 comprises negative plates 41, anode plate 42 and interlayer 43.Shown in Fig. 5 b, anode plate 42 has at 4 anode plate lug plates 44 at top with at 4 anode plate lug plates of bottom.Similarly, negative plates 41 has at 4 negative plates lug plates 46 at top with at 4 negative plates lug plates 47 of bottom.

Preferably, respectively at the lug plate 44 of anode plate 42 tops and bottom and 45 separating with the distance of necessarily successively decreasing towards screw winding battery pack inside, make lug plate 44 and 45 overlap with busbar 48 and 49 respectively.Significantly, the outside of screw winding pole plate can't be as its inner discharge.This problem can provide other busbars and corresponding lug plate to overcome by the outside at the screw winding pole plate.
Fig. 6-9 is depicted as, compares with existing representative single lug plate battery pack, and the curve evaluation of the two lug plate battery pack 1 of flat pole plate of the present invention, a part is the HEV state, another part is the EV state.
In background technology, the HEV battery pack need many times circulate at the conditional operation that is lower than complete SoC.They also will experience high charge and discharging current.This operation is feasible, has shown to cause in the battery pack pole plate inevitably in the VRLA battery pack under this condition that Local enrichment forms lead sulfate.
As described, two lug plate battery pack 1 of flat pole plate type of the present invention are relatively estimated with the single lug plate battery pack of the existing representativeness of same size, weight and capacity, and it carries out under the known simulation HEV curve that helps forming Local enrichment, " indissoluble " lead sulfate.This test loop can may further comprise the steps:
(i) discharge (2C speed) is to 50%SoC;
(be 2C-21  A (ii) at special speed; 4C-43A) charging is 1 minute;
(iii) under open-circuit condition, left standstill for 10 seconds;
(be 2C-21  A (iv) at special speed; 4C-43A) discharge is 1 minute;
(v) under open-circuit condition, left standstill for 10 seconds;
(vi) repeat (ii)-(V), when step (iv) finishes, reduce to 10V or when step (ii) finishes, increase to 15V up to voltage.
(annotate :-all charging and discharge are all based on Ahs).
Referring to Fig. 6, it is a curve chart, show end discharge voltage (EoDV) and temperature (T) curve chart with respect to the test cycle-index, so that existing representational single lug plate battery pack and the two lug plate battery pack of flat pole plate of the present invention are compared, condition be the HEV cycle rate be 2C (promptly, charging and discharge are roughly about 21  A herein under special speed).
When the aforementioned 2C HEV state of experience, before its end discharge voltage was reduced to 10V (Fig. 6) and need be compensated charging, existing battery pack and battery pack of the present invention 1 had realized 6900 and the 8800HEV circulation respectively.The high period that battery pack 1 of the present invention obtains makes compensating frequency lower 25%.The improvement that this HEV producer is required makes that negative plates no longer is a weakness or thoroughly got rid of in the HEV battery pack, thereby makes the compensating charge of battery pack carry out in the daily automobile services cycle.
Temperature problem is discussed now, is risen gradually in operating process in the temperature of the existing battery pack of battery housing external measurement, and when 6900HEV circulation (Fig. 6) finishes, reach 65 ℃.Studies show that in the past that the battery pack internal temperature exceeded 20 ℃ than external temperature under this condition.Therefore, the continued operation of existing battery pack might cause thermal runaway, can produce serious safety problem under this condition.
The temperature of battery pack 1 of the present invention remains on 38 ± 2 ℃ (Fig. 6) in its cycle period.This temperature than existing battery is low 30 ℃ more.Significantly, compared with existing battery pack, battery pack 1 of the present invention is prolonging the possibility much smaller (that is thermal runaway) that temperature raises under the HEV operation.For the HEV producer, owing to simplified the requirement of cooling greatly, this performance is a very attractive.And, the degraded that lower operating temperature will reduce the corrosion of anodal grid and be used for the negative plates swelling agent.And it will make the internal resistance minimum of battery pack 1 of the present invention.
Generally speaking, the operating temperature of battery pack 1 of the present invention under the HEV condition reduces greatly with respect to the existing battery pack with single electric current output.Battery pack 1 of the present invention provides the cycle period between compensating charge more much longer than existing battery pack, and this point is to HEV producer's very attractive.
Fig. 7 is correlation curve figure, show end discharge voltage (EoDV) and temperature (T) curve chart with respect to the test cycle-index, so that existing representational single lug plate battery pack and the two lug plate battery pack of flat pole plate of the present invention are compared, except condition is that the HEV cycle rate is 4C.
More specifically, the performance of test cell group 1 of the present invention and existing battery pack is charged under the HEV condition and discharge rate is measured during for 4C.Charging and discharge rate are increased to 4C from 2C can make the temperature increase of battery pack quite a lot of.So, as prevention, at the middle temperature probe that inserts of the middle negative plates of two battery pack and the 3rd battery (beginning counting) between contiguous interlayer from positive terminal.Also this temperature is monitored from the hottest zone of outside.
After 50 circulations, the outside and the internal temperature of existing battery pack have reached 50 and 70 ℃ (Fig. 7) respectively.At this moment, can know that the continued operation of battery pack might cause thermal runaway, and for the angle of safety, it is stopped work.Under the contrast, battery pack 1 of the present invention 120 circulations of before the same external temperature, having worked.So for 2C HEV operation (on seeing), with respect to existing each pole plate of battery pack that a lug plate is only arranged, the output of second electric current has obviously reduced the operating temperature of battery pack 1 of the present invention.
Fig. 8 is a curve chart, shows only to hold the curve chart of discharge voltage (EoDV) with respect to the test cycle-index, and so that existing representational single lug plate battery pack and the two lug plate battery pack of flat pole plate of the present invention are compared, condition is PSoC/ quick charge EV.
From background technology as can be known, quick charge has proved a kind of narrow method of lead accumulator EVs that overcomes.And former research has shown that PSoC operation (for example, circulating continuously under the SoC condition fully) can make cycle life/life-span energy be greatly improved, and is feasible for selected VRLA battery pack.And the combination of known quick charge and PsoC state can improve the effective range of Evs and the cycle life of battery pack/life-span energy.Because this EV class of operation is similar to the HEV condition, that is, quick charge (12C) and prolongation operation in the SoC window of setting, it will be used for being determined at battery pack of the present invention under the PSoC/ quick charge EV condition.Therefore, battery pack 1 of the present invention and existing battery pack are in the following method continued operation that provides.
Scheme 1
This battery pack is discharged to specified 20%SoC (based on Ahs) from 100%SoC under the C speed of given 21  A.
Scheme 2
This battery pack charges to specified 80%SoC (based on Ahs) from specified 20%SoC under the 6C of (129A) speed.This battery pack is discharged to specified 20%SoC (based on Ahs) under the C speed of (21  A).Charging-the discharge operation that does not recharge fully between 20-80%SoC is called " PSoC circulation ".This PSoC process continues the 24PSoC circulation, or reduces to 11.1V up to this end discharge voltage, and battery pack is considered at 10%SoC in this, and for example, the 20-80% action pane of an initial p soC becomes 10-70%SoC.
(annotate :-one group of 24 PSoC circulation is known as " major cycle ").
Scheme 3
(i) this battery pack is charged under 6C and is reduced to 5A up to electric current;
(ii) this battery pack is then with constant current compensation certain hour.
The result of circulation, as shown in Figure 8, end discharge voltage (EoDV) expression when finishing to discharge in the scheme 2.The EoDV of existing battery pack increases along with the rising of battery pack temperature at the beginning, and this intensification is to be caused by the beginning quick charge.This EoDV stably reduces to 11.45V at the Remaining Stages of major cycle from 11.75 then, may be the inadequate result of charging.This EoDV is restored behind compensating charge (scheme 3), but reduces to 11.45V thereafter in second major cycle gradually.EoDV after the discharge first time of the 3rd major cycle has reduced to 11.15V, with respect to the 11.45V in first and second major cycles.The EoDV decay of this " irreversible " continues, and battery voltage reaches in the last discharge process of the 4th major cycle and interrupts lowest limit 11.10V.In all follow-up major cycles, this battery pack can't realize 24 circulations before reaching interrupt voltage.
The EoDV of battery pack 1 of the present invention remains on higher level in whole PSoC/ quick charge operating process, with respect to existing battery pack (Fig. 8).For example, the EoDV of battery pack 1 of the present invention first and last major cycle in be respectively 11.70 and 11.50V, existing battery pack then is 11.45 and 11.10V.So battery pack 1 of the present invention has better tolerance to capacitance loss under PSoC/ quick charge condition, and therefore, can be in all PSoC circulations of test period realization requirement.
In these experiments, use existing battery pack and battery pack of the present invention 1 to be equipped with 3 thermocouples, to be determined at " reality " operating temperature under the PSOC/ quick charge condition.This probe is arranged at the 3rd battery, and in the middle of being arranged at negative plates and contiguous interlayer with upper/lower positions:
(i) apart from the 1cm place at battery pack top;
The (ii) centre of battery pack;
(iii) apart from the 1cm place of battery pack bottom.
Figure 9 shows that two kinds of battery pack internal temperature when typical major cycle charging finishes.In initial activation phase, very fast formation temperature gradient in the existing battery pack.After four circulations, the internal cell temperature respectively at the top, centre and bottom reach 90,75 and 70 ℃.The amplitude that rises is wonderful, and given external temperature (measuring at the battery housing hottest point) is limited to 55 ℃.
The internal temperature of the two lug plate battery pack 1 of the present invention increases in initial p SoC/ quick charge operating process gradually, reaches about 65 ℃ after 15 circulations.During this period of time, the temperature gap from the battery pack top to the bottom is no more than 5 ℃.Therefore, when operating under PSoC/ quick charge condition, with respect to existing single lug plate battery pack, battery pack 1 of the present invention has than harmonic(-)mean battery temperature and less internal temperature difference.
Improve on the performance is because two lug plate characteristics of battery pack 1 of the present invention.In existing single lug plate structure, current density will obviously increase, and promptly in high speed charge or discharge process, have " current concentration " at the top of battery pack pole plate towards current output terminal or lug plate.Because the relevant (I of heat with the resistance of current squaring and battery pack 2R), the high local current densities at the pole plate top can cause in these zones than the heat-flash effect.Included second electric current output in the pole plate bottom of the present invention will make that the current density of pole plate is lower more even, thereby reduce the net quantity of heat that is produced.And the two lug plate battery pack 1 of the present invention provide uniform heat radiation, make the temperature of battery pack even like this.
Verified, operation VRLA battery pack can produce the accumulation of " indissoluble " or " firmly " lead sulfate in the negative plates bottom under the HEV state.This phenomenon is relatively poor the causing of charging acceptance because of negative plates.In the bigger inner temperature gradient of originally discovering is the result of high speed charge/discharge, still, also other hypothesis can be arranged.
As everyone knows, if two parallel battery are operated under visibly different temperature, the battery pack of heat will will experience the highest active material utilization in discharge process.This also will accept the maximum charging and the top charging voltage in given charging interval than the thermal cell group.Suppose that the top of battery pack pole plate and bottom section are effectively in parallel, if they are in different temperatures thereafter, the active material utilization that they will the experience degree be different in different discharge processes.And the zone of heat will be with respect to colder stronger the overcharging of zone experience.
This situation will cause than the undercharge of cool region and sulfation.Of the present invention pair of lug plate structure can not produce tangible temperature gradient under HEV or PSoC/ quick charge EV state.By inference, may be that the single lug plate battery pack of the present invention does not produce the selectivity sulfation.
Aforementioned improvement shown in curve chart obtains embodying in the two lug plate battery pack 1 of flat pole plate type of the present invention, and its result can obtain in two lug plate battery pack of helical coil geometric pattern of the present invention too.
The present invention is described with aforesaid alternate embodiment, and to those skilled in the art, the preferred embodiment of the present invention described herein has various variations and modification.The variation of any spirit that does not break away from claim of the present invention or protection range all drops within the protection range of claim of the present invention with revising.
