Technical field
The utility model is related to a kind of electrokinetic cell, in particular a kind of to be used for pure electric vehicle or hybrid electric vehicle and storage
The heating system and battery modules of the cylindrical battery module of electric energy device.
Background technology
At present there are more and more, existing and following pure electricity in our life in pure electronic and oil and electricity hybrid vehicle
Dynamic and oil and electricity hybrid vehicle is mostly using lithium-ion-power cell as power resources, and lithium ion battery is under high and low temperature
Performance, reliability and life-span compared with normal temperature when have decline by a relatively large margin.When battery modules are used at low ambient temperatures, it is necessary to
Heated to battery modules using heating system, make battery reach suitable temperature and start charge/discharge operation again.Lithium ion battery
In use for some time, each battery has different degrees of aging module, and its internal resistance can become big, the resistance of Individual cells in-core
Amplitude of variation can produce substantial amounts of heat considerably beyond mean value in electric discharge, and especially under hot environment, heat is easily accumulated
It is poly-, it is necessary to make its timely radiating, make battery reach suitable temperature.Equally, the battery modules of power energy storage equipment there is also
Problem above.
Battery mode of heating in the market is generally circulating liquid heating or warm braw heating and in battery ambient cloth
Put PET heating films, silica gel heating plate, PTC heating plates etc., circulating liquid mode of heating has that complex structure, efficiency is low, reliability
The shortcomings of low, high cost, warm braw heating has slow programming rate, non-uniform temperature, easily produce heat localization, energy consumption height etc. lacks
Point, using fewer and feweri, more be to use the heating sides such as PET heating films, silica gel heating plate or PTC heating plates to both modes
Formula.
PET heating films and silica gel heating plate both modes have the disadvantage that:PET heating films and silica gel heating intralamellar part are sent out
Thermal part is lectrothermal alloy wire, and temperature is wayward, and local temperature difference is big, and fragile insulating barrier causes electric leakage, so as to easily cause
Security incident;
PTC heating plates have the disadvantage that:(such as the application for a patent for invention of Application No. 201510634026.6).
1st, heating rate is slow, and local temperature difference is big
It is longer the time required to being attached to the outside of battery pack, heat transfer to battery pack centre due to PTC heating plates, make
Obtain battery pack centre heating rate slower;Also result in battery pack each battery temperature difference larger, performance to battery and
There is considerable influence in life-span.
2nd, the efficiency of heating surface is low and big energy-consuming
PTC heating plates can be a big chunk heat transfer to battery-pack exterior casing and air because of the structure that its two sides all generates heat
In, cause the efficiency of heating surface low, consume electric energy many.
3rd, security is poor
PTC heating plates are placed in battery modules surface, will battery pack or battery positive and negative electrode extend to case surface, plus
Hot plate is heated to positive and negative electrode, then conducts heat to module internal, and a heating plate typically contacts multiple battery packs or electricity simultaneously
The positive and negative electrode of Chi Xin, if heating plate Long-Time Service is in vibration environment, its insulating outer layer can be damaged, then may cause battery
Positive and negative electrode short circuit, causes cell damage, causes security incident.
4th, PTC heating plates weight is big, and PTC heating plates are using aluminium alloy as fixed PTC heater elements and the machine of radiating
Component, unit intensity is big, increased the overall weight of battery modules, reduces the specific energy parameter of battery modules, affects vehicle
Course continuation mileage.
For cylindrical battery, the above each shortcoming is especially apparent, because its shell is in cylinder, the contact surface with heating plate
Product very little, the efficiency of heat transfer is worse, general to increase the larger silicagel pad of weight using gap in order to bring up to the thermal efficiency
Mode.But being unable to effectively solving problem increases the gross weight of battery pack simultaneously.
To be used simultaneously with external multiple temperature sensors with upper heater, temperature sensor transfers signals to battery
Management system (i.e. BMS), battery management system (i.e. BMS) judges whether to allow heater to work, and makes battery be maintained at rational temperature
Degree scope.
