Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As is well known, a battery pack generally comprises a case, a plurality of battery modules disposed in the case, and a battery management module disposed in the case. Among them, the battery management module is a BMS, i.e., a battery management system, which is well known to those skilled in the art. Since this structure is familiar to those skilled in the art, the present specification does not give a schematic view of the battery pack, but this does not hinder the understanding of the present invention by the skilled person. As shown in fig. 1, the battery module 100 in the battery pack includes a battery module main body 110, a bottom plate 120 disposed at the bottom of the battery module main body 110, and a leakage detection device 2. As shown in fig. 2, the liquid leakage detection device 2 includes a band 22 and a wire connection portion 21 provided at an end of the band 22. The bottom plate 120 is provided with a strip-shaped detection groove 121. The strip-like body 22 of the liquid leakage detection device 2 is disposed in the strip-like detection tank 121, as shown in fig. 3. When the strip-shaped body 22 is disposed in the strip-shaped detection groove 121, the upper surface of the strip-shaped body 22 is flush with the upper surface of the entire bottom plate 120.
The strip 22 includes a lower insulating layer 221, an upper insulating layer 222, a wire 223, and an adhesive layer 224. The lower insulating layer 221 and the upper insulating layer 222 are each an insulator made of a flexible material, preferably a polyimide film or a polyester film. The lower insulating layer 221 and the upper insulating layer 222 are adhered to each other up and down. The two wires 223 are embedded between the lower insulating layer 221 and the upper insulating layer 222 and are wrapped by the insulating materials of the lower insulating layer 221 and the upper insulating layer 222. The two leads 223 are parallel to each other and arranged along the longitudinal direction of the strip. The lead 223 is an elongated thin sheet made of flexible metal. Two leads 223 are connected to the terminal portion 21 at the end of the strip-shaped body 22. The wiring portion 21 is a connector for connecting the battery management module. The adhesive layer 224 is provided below the lower insulating layer 221, and is typically a double-sided adhesive tape, and is used to adhere the strip-shaped body 22 to the strip-shaped detection groove 121. The upper surface of the strip-shaped body 22 is provided with a plurality of wire windows 23. Specifically, the wire window 23 is an opening in the upper insulating layer 222, which exposes the wire 223, and the depth of the opening is not more than 1.0mm, preferably 0.5 mm. The wire window 23 may be composed of two openings independent of each other. The two independent openings correspond to the two wires 23, respectively, as shown in fig. 3. The wire window 23 may be an opening for connecting two wires, as shown in fig. 4; the upper surface of the band 22 may be a groove that penetrates both the left and right sides in the transverse direction, as shown in fig. 5.
The working principle of the embodiment is as follows: when the electrolyte in the battery module leaks, it flows toward the bottom plate 120 under the influence of gravity. The bottom plate 120 is generally attached to the battery in the battery module or a liquid cooling system above the bottom plate 120. The leakage on the bottom plate 120 is naturally absorbed into the opening of the wire window 23 through the gap between the attachments and the gap generated by the attachment of the wire window 23 to the upper member. When the electrolyte enters the lead window 23 and is immersed by the electrolyte, the two leads 23 are short-circuited, so that the resistance between the two leads 23 appears small. When there is no leakage of the electrolyte, the resistance between the two wires 23 appears large due to the obstruction by the insulating material. Thus, the power management module determines whether there is a liquid leakage problem by detecting the resistance between the two wires 23. Normally, when there is no leakage of the electrolyte, the resistance between the two lead wires 23 exceeds 10M Ω, and when the lead window 23 is submerged by the leakage, the resistance between the two lead wires 23 may be less than 1 Ω.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the strip-shaped detection groove 121 is disposed on the side of the bottom plate 120, because the leaked liquid can only flow to the bottom plate 120 through the edge in consideration of the existence of the obstruction of the liquid cooling system above the bottom plate 120. If there is no separation of the liquid cooling system, or the liquid cooling system is hollow, the leakage liquid may flow into the bottom plate 120 through the hollow gap of the liquid cooling system, and at this time, those skilled in the art understand that the strip-shaped detection tank 121 may also be disposed in the center of the bottom plate 120, or may also be disposed along the battery electrodes in the battery module, so that the strip-shaped body 22 is located right below the battery electrodes, or disposed along the hollow of the liquid cooling system. In addition, the present embodiment gives an illustration that only one side of the bottom plate 120 is provided with the strip-shaped detection groove 121. Those skilled in the art will understand that there may be a plurality of strip-shaped detection grooves 121 provided on the bottom plate 120, and each strip-shaped detection groove 121 accommodates one strip-shaped body of the leakage detection device 2. Thus, a plurality of leakage detection devices 2 may be provided below the battery module.
In addition, to improve the detection effect, the lead windows 23 may be arranged at intervals of the batteries within the battery module. For example, the lead window 23 is located just at the gap between two cells. Or when the hollow liquid cooling system is disposed above the bottom plate 120, the wire window 23 may be disposed at the hollow portion of the liquid cooling system.
In addition, in order to improve the detection effect, the opening of the wire window 23 may be filled with a porous hydrophilic material, and even a layer of porous hydrophilic material 226 may be laid on the upper surface of the strip-shaped body 22 as shown in fig. 6, where the porous hydrophilic material may be cotton cloth, spray-melt cloth, or the like. The porous hydrophilic material layer 226 can insulate the metal components in the battery module from short-circuiting the two leads.
In addition, for improving the detection effect, a hydrophobic material layer can be arranged on the peripheral surface of the battery module, the surface of the liquid cooling system and the surface of the bottom plate, so that the wire window 23 on the strip-shaped body 22 can adsorb leakage conveniently.
In addition, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the power management module determines whether there is a liquid leakage problem by detecting the resistance between the two wires 23. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the resistance detection may also be converted into a voltage or current detection by the conversion of the circuit.
In addition, it is apparent that the arrangement of the lead windows 23 is required to avoid metal contact with other components in the battery module, and the specific size thereof is related to the arrangement of other components in the battery module.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the strip 22 is divided into a lower insulating layer 221 and an upper insulating layer 222. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the strip 22 may also be manufactured by a flexible circuit board manufacturing process, in which case the leads 23 may be printed copper foil or aluminum foil.
In this embodiment, the width of the band 22 is 0.5-50.0 mm, the thickness is 0.1-2.0 mm, and the distance between the two wires 23 is 0.2-20.0 mm.
In the present embodiment, the strip 22 is adhered to the strip-shaped detection groove 121 by a back adhesive, and those skilled in the art will understand that in practical application, the strip may be fixed by riveting or bolt.
In the present embodiment, the strip 22 is provided with the wire connecting portion 21 at both ends, and those skilled in the art will understand that the wire connecting portion 21 may be provided at only one end.
