Definitions
- the present invention relates to a security system for protection, in particular overcurrent protection, in a battery system. Furthermore, the invention relates to a battery system, a battery management system and a method for protection in the battery system.
- Lithium batteries ie lithium-ion batteries
- lithium batteries usually have a low internal resistance, so that enormous shorts or overcurrents can occur without suitable measures.
- a known from the prior art way to prevent short circuits is the use of an irreversible fuse, such as a fuse, as overcurrent protection. This can be in the main stream path be integrated to prevent the current flow of the battery system in an overcurrent.
- a fuse is in the performance classes of lithium batteries, however, relatively expensive, since high Abschaltré must be provided.
- the fuse characteristic of the fuse is not suitable.
- the fuse characteristic of a fuse can have a critical range in which very high currents are necessary to trigger the fuse. There is a risk here of destroying other components in the current path due to the high currents.
- the fuse characteristic can also have another critical area in which the risk of false triggering exists.
- many types of fuses have the disadvantage of having too slow a response time.
- a safety system for protection preferably for overcurrent protection, in a battery system (that is to say in particular with rechargeable batteries as rechargeable batteries), comprising:
- a (in particular irreversible) fuse element for the (in particular irreversible and / or at least partial) interruption of an electrical current path (in particular electric circuit) in the battery system
- a detection unit (in particular with a shunt resistor, which is integrated in the current path) for detecting (at least) a detection information which is specific to at least one electric current of the current path, i. in particular allows a statement about a current intensity of the electric current flowing in the current path,
- an electronic processing unit for performing a comparison of the detection information with a (customizable, possibly non-linear or linearly adjustable and / or non-linear or linear or stepped executed) backup default, preferably to detect an overcurrent condition, d. H. in particular a fault condition in the battery system, which, for example, indicates a (threatening) short circuit.
- a (customizable, possibly non-linear or linearly adjustable and / or non-linear or linear or stepped executed) backup default preferably to detect an overcurrent condition, d. H. in particular a fault condition in the battery system, which, for example, indicates a (threatening) short circuit.
- the processing unit is in active (in particular electrical) operative connection, ie preferably (possibly at least partially electrical) connected to the securing element, for example via at least one electrically conductive connection of the processing unit, in order to preferably secure the securing element
- active (in particular electrical) operative connection ie preferably (possibly at least partially electrical) connected to the securing element, for example via at least one electrically conductive connection of the processing unit, in order to preferably secure the securing element
- the interruption in positive detection of the overcurrent condition according to a (adaptable and / or linear or non-linear, in particular stage) tripping characteristic (of the security system or the fuse element) is carried out, more preferably the interruption by the fuse element primary and / or irreversible on detection of the overcurrent condition.
- the performance is increased by the fact that an adjustable triggering characteristic is provided by the customizable backup specification. This allows a flexible and cost-effective adjustment of the fuse to different applications or to complex operating areas of the battery system.
- the security specification is preferably adaptable and / or linear or non-linear, in particular stepped, preferably in that the security specification comprises at least one adaptable and / or linear or non-linear, in particular stepped, backup characteristic (for the trip current strengths).
- the detection information is an electrical and / or digital or analog signal, such as, for example, a digital information or a measurement voltage, which is preferably proportional to the current strength of the (to be measured) electrical current in the current path. Accordingly, the detection information can be used to detect an (existing and / or imminent) overcurrent, i. H. the overcurrent condition, to detect.
- the battery system preferably comprises at least one rechargeable electrical energy store, in particular a lithium accumulator (also: lithium-ion battery or lithium battery) which is electrically connected to the energy transfer via the current path (circuit) with at least one load.
- the current path thus forms at least part of the load circuit, and preferably the fuse element (as well as optionally at least one semiconductor switching element) connects the energy store to the load.
- An electrical energy store is understood in particular to mean a battery, ie preferably a rechargeable, in particular electrochemical, energy store and / or a secondary battery.
- the energy store can thus be repeatedly charged and discharged, for example, the chemical reactions for energy production are reversible.
- the processing unit is embodied, for example, as an integrated circuit and / or as a microprocessor and / or as a microcontroller and / or the like, and is preferably provided in a battery management system.
- the processing unit may be directly or indirectly electrically connected to the detection unit.
- the detection unit comprises at least one shunt resistor, which is integrated in the current path. The shunt resistor can convert the current through the current path (system current) into a measuring voltage (with the measuring voltage dropping across the resistor).
- the shunt resistor may, for example, be connected to the processing unit via at least one further electronic component.
- the at least one further component can, for. B. an amplifier unit, in particular an amplifier circuit, and / or a converter unit, in particular an analog-to-digital converter, be.
- the amplifier unit prepares, for example, the measuring voltage so that it can be picked up by the converter unit.
- the converter unit may also be part of the processing unit, for example a microcontroller. In this way, the processing unit can detect and evaluate the measurement voltage.
- the measuring voltage and / or the output signal of the amplifier unit and / or the converter unit forms, for example, the detection information. In other words, the signal may constitute the detection information detected by the processing unit for evaluating the measurement voltage.
- the detection information includes information about the measurement voltage and thus also about the current to be measured (system current) in the current path.
- a computer program (or software routines) of the processing unit can then be used to compare (compare) the system stream with the backup specification. The comparison can be used to check given conditions. If these are satisfied, ie the overcurrent state is detected positively, the fuse element can be triggered to disconnect the battery current (eg from the load).
- the processing unit can be connected to the security element (electrically) via a driver unit.
- the elements shunt resistor (shunt) and / or amplifier unit and / or processing unit and / or driver unit and / or fuse element in one Battery management system already exist before the implementation of the security system and / or provide in addition to the function as a backup system nor another additional function for the battery management.
- shunt resistor (shunt) and / or amplifier unit and / or processing unit and / or driver unit and / or fuse element in one Battery management system already exist before the implementation of the security system and / or provide in addition to the function as a backup system nor another additional function for the battery management.
- an adjustable (and / or linear or non-linear, in particular stepped) tripping characteristic can be used, ie the fuse system triggers the fuse element in dependence on certain conditions which (eg manually by programming and / or configuration, before and / or during operation of the battery system) may be set and / or changed within certain limits if necessary.
- the conditions are determined by the adjustment of the backup default, which includes, for example, one or more customizable (configurable) backup characteristics.
- the fuse characteristics specify at which current limit values (ie triggering current strengths) a triggering of the fuse element takes place. It is also conceivable that in addition to the current strength, other parameters are used to set the conditions. This allows a very flexible use of the security system as overcurrent protection.
- the overcurrent state may include a state in which an overcurrent or a short circuit exists and / or threatens to occur.
- the overcurrent state there may also be a specific current characteristic in the permitted current range (of the operating range), which, however, is to be qualified as an overcurrent state on the basis of predetermined criteria, which indicate, for example, an impending overcurrent or short circuit.
- predetermined criteria which indicate, for example, an impending overcurrent or short circuit.
- the overcurrent state is detected on the basis of such complex criteria which, for example, define a specific pattern or specific features in the course.
- Such a criterion or feature can, for example, also be predefined as a (mathematical) function to which the course of the current intensity within a certain tolerance must approach for a positive detection.
- an adaptable triggering characteristic (due to the adaptable fuse specification) is particularly advantageous, since even such complex relationships can be used to detect an imminent overcurrent.
- a further advantage within the scope of the invention can be achieved if the processing unit is designed to trigger the fuse element primarily in the positive detection of the overcurrent state based on the comparison in order to carry out the interruption of the current path through the fuse element. This represents a difference to a further variant in which initially detected another primary fuse in detected overcurrent condition, and only secondary (redundant) z. B. occurs in a fault of the primary fuse, the triggering of the fuse element.
- the primary release of the fuse element has the advantage that in a critical situation of the battery system such as the presence of the overcurrent condition with less (faster) response time and more reliable can be the interruption of the current path.
- an additional fuse for this purpose can be dispensed with.
- the fuse element is designed as irreversible fuse element, so that the fuse element can only be triggered irreversibly to prevent the electric current through the processing unit. This allows a reliable and permanent prevention of current flow.
- the term "irreversible” or “irreversibly triggerable” in the context of the invention relates in particular to the fact that (only) a pulse-like initiation current or energy burst is necessary in order to bring the fuse element from a closed to a permanently open (activated) switching state ( and thus cause the triggering).
- This triggering can be effected, for example, by the processing unit by triggering a drive unit by the processing unit which triggers and / or provides the initiation current or energy burst in the fuse element.
- the fuse element can remain stable in the open, activated switching state. This has the advantage that only a small amount of energy is required to switch the fuse element. It is ensured even after the elimination of the power supply that the circuit is interrupted and / or the flow of electricity is prevented.
- the term “irreversible” thus also refers in particular to an electrical or electrically actuated switch with a stable switching state
- Security element for example, be designed as a pyrotechnic switch and / or as a bistable relay. Accordingly, the fuse element may possibly be designed only for a single switching (triggering), so that a renewed closing of the circuit is prevented by the securing element (whereas this is possible in a "reversible” switching).
- the security specification is implemented as digitally stored information, and is preferably adaptable, in particular programmable, as a function of at least one parameter of the battery system, wherein the adaptation preferably takes place linearly or non-linearly or in stages.
- the security specification can, for example, be stored digitally in a non-volatile data memory of the battery system, preferably of the battery management system, preferably of the processing unit.
- the adaptation can take place, for example, manually or automatically (possibly also during operation of the battery system).
- the at least one parameter may include at least one of the following parameters:
- At least one property of a semiconductor switching element of a battery management system in particular a parameter, preferably a short circuit resistance, so that the tripping characteristic is adapted to the property
- the detection unit can be designed to detect at least one of the mentioned parameters, and / or at least one further detection unit can be provided for this purpose.
- the security specification comprises at least one security characteristic which is specific to the triggering characteristic of the security system, and which is preferably variably adaptable to an operating region of the battery system, preferably manually by programming and / or configuration of the processing unit.
- the safety curve has a linear or non-linear or stepwise course to effect the linear or non-linear or stepwise adaptation.
- the fuse characteristic includes a value or different values for tripping currents (tripping current strengths), for example as a function of at least one further parameter of the battery system, such as an operating time or a temperature or the like.
- the fuse characteristic can specify which parameter values which tripping current is used, ie in particular the overcurrent state is detected positive.
- a linear safety curve only a fixed (constant) value for the tripping current can be provided, even for different values of the further parameter, such as the operating time, so as to ensure stability in a corresponding operating range.
- the tripping current is, for example, the current that must be reached by the current through the current path so that the fault state, in particular the overcurrent state, is detected positively. This can be determined by the comparison by the processing unit.
- the operating range includes, for example, at least one permissible value range (or different permissible value ranges) of at least one parameter of the battery system in which a normal state (ie in particular no overcurrent state) is present.
- a normal state ie in particular no overcurrent state
- the permissible value ranges can only be determined using complex rules that possibly take several parameters into account. This is due to the fact that the permissible value ranges can also be changed during operation and / or as a function of the parameters (such as the battery system and / or ambient temperature and / or the properties of the used components of the battery system and in particular of the battery management system).
- the adaptable (variable) safety characteristic therefore has the advantage that an adaptation of the safety system and the tripping characteristic to the operating range (which may possibly include self-variable permissible value ranges) can be done, for. B. for different operating lives or different components.
- the permissible value ranges are undershot and / or exceeded, an error state, in particular an overcurrent state, may be present.
- the security specification includes a plurality of customizable security characteristics, which are preferably adaptable to one another differently from one operating region of the battery system, in particular the positive detection of the overcurrent condition for a plurality of value ranges and / or parameters of the operating range by comparison with the respective ones Perform backup curves.
- the tripping characteristic can be adjusted (approximated) to the (complex) operating range by an individual adaptation of the fuse characteristics.
- at least one backup characteristic for each one parameter and / or value range can be provided.
- the fuse characteristics can be adapted to these areas, if necessary also non-linear or stepwise or linearly adapted, so that exceeding the fuse characteristics (ie, for example, the triggering currents provided by the measured current intensity or by the detection information about the current strength) positive detection causes.
- other parameters may be taken into account, such as the operating time, the voltage, the state of charge or the temperature in the battery system.
- the detected (measured) current provided by the detection information may be compared with a limit (eg, trip current) provided by the fuse default. If the current strength then exceeds the limit value, this can cause the positive detection (eg of the overcurrent state). It is also possible to provide a plurality of limit values in the backup specification, wherein, for example, a current (measured) value of at least one of the further parameters determines which limit value is taken into account for the comparison. If necessary, the value of the further parameter can also be compared with a limit value (for example, the security specification) for this decision.
- a limit eg, trip current

- the pyrotechnic switch has a stable and irreversible switching state after activation.
- the term "irreversible” refers in particular to the fact that after the activation or activation of the fuse element, the functionality of the fuse element for switching is irreversibly destroyed, so that a re-closing of the circuit (the energy storage) by the fuse element, in particular the pyrotechnic switch

- the conductor is in particular an electrical conductor, which is connected to the contacts of the fuse element such that it is part of the circuit of the battery system.
- the current flow through the current path or conductor is interrupted by the triggering of the blasting unit or the activation of the fuse element, whereby the current flow of the circuit of the battery system is suppressed and / or the circuit is irreparably interrupted.
- the fuse element is therefore integrated in particular in such a way in the circuit of the battery system, that the conductor or the contacts of the fuse element form part of the circuit and close it in the deactivated switching state of the fuse element and open in the activated switching state.
- the pyrotechnic switch In normal operation, therefore, no and / or only a small power consumption of the pyrotechnic switch. A low power consumption is thus ensured by the fact that only when activated, So in case of switching, a (significant) electric power must be applied to the ignition.
