在本發明之一實施例中,上述之第二儲能裝置可為二次電池。二次電池可例如為鎳鎘電池、鎳氫電池、鋰離子電池以及鋰高分子電池,但本發明之實施例並不受限於此。In one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned second energy storage device may be a secondary battery. The secondary battery may be, for example, a nickel-cadmium battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, a lithium-ion battery, and a lithium polymer battery, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
在本發明之一實施例中,當廢棄鋰離子電池放電後,可對放電後的當廢棄鋰離子電池進行電池鬆弛操作。例如, 當第一階段放電操作結束後,將放電後之廢棄鋰離子電池鬆弛一段預設鬆弛時間,而讓放電後之廢棄鋰離子電池的電壓回升。如此,這些經過放電後之廢棄鋰離子電池可以再次萃取出電能。電池鬆弛操作可利用計時器126來記錄鬆弛時間,並相應地傳送時間訊號T

In one embodiment of the present invention, after the waste lithium-ion battery is discharged, a battery relaxation operation can be performed on the discharged waste lithium-ion battery. For example, after the first stage of discharging operation is completed, the discharged waste lithium-ion battery is relaxed for a preset relaxation time, so that the voltage of the discharged waste lithium-ion battery is allowed to rise. In this way, these discharged waste lithium-ion batteries can extract electrical energy again. The battery relaxation operation can use the
請參照圖3,其係廢棄鋰離子電池之電能回收系統100所對應之廢棄鋰離子電池之電能回收方法300的流程示意圖,其中前述之微控制器122係用以進行電能回收方法300,微控制器122控制第三開關SW
3在各操作模式下的路徑選擇請參照圖4。在廢電池之電能回收方法300中,首先進行步驟310,以利用平衡邏輯模組110之電池容置座來接收廢棄鋰離子電池B1~B12。然後,進行步驟320,以進行放電平衡階段,以選擇出欲進行第一放電階段的廢棄鋰離子電池。
Please refer to Figure 3, which is a schematic flow chart of the
在放電平衡階段中,首先篩選出剩餘能量高且開路電壓相近的廢棄鋰離子電池,不僅能節省平衡電路運行的時間,同時能擁有較高的萃取效率。接著,建立廢棄鋰離子電池的電動勢擬合曲線來以取得相應的電量狀態,再進一步建立健康度與內阻的關係,進而推估廢棄鋰離子電池的剩餘能量。例如,欲對某一個廢棄鋰離子電池的剩餘能量進行估測時,可量測其開路電壓,再進行脈衝測試來量測其瞬間電壓變化,即可估測此廢棄鋰離子電池的剩餘能量。In the discharge balancing stage, waste lithium-ion batteries with high residual energy and similar open-circuit voltages are first screened out, which not only saves the running time of the balancing circuit, but also allows for higher extraction efficiency. Then, the electromotive force fitting curve of the waste lithium-ion battery is established to obtain the corresponding state of charge, and then the relationship between health and internal resistance is further established to estimate the remaining energy of the waste lithium-ion battery. For example, when you want to estimate the remaining energy of a discarded lithium-ion battery, you can measure its open circuit voltage, and then perform a pulse test to measure its instantaneous voltage changes. Then you can estimate the remaining energy of the discarded lithium-ion battery.
接著,判斷不具有可回收電量的廢棄鋰離子電池數量是否等於最大電池數(例如,12個)。在本實施例中,如果不具有可回收電量的電池數量為12個,代表廢棄鋰離子電池B1~B12都不具有可回收電量,故電能回收方法300便會結束。此時,控制電路120可提供指示訊號(例如閃燈)來告知使用者廢棄鋰離子電池B1~B12都不具有可回收電量。又,如果不具有可回收電量的電池數量小於12個,則表示廢棄鋰離子電池B1~B12包含具有可回收電量的廢棄鋰離子電池。在後續的步驟中,被認為不具有可回收電量的廢棄鋰離子電池會被排除。Next, it is determined whether the number of discarded lithium-ion batteries without recyclable power is equal to the maximum number of batteries (for example, 12). In this embodiment, if the number of batteries without recyclable power is 12, it means that none of the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 to B12 have recyclable power, so the
接著,當廢棄鋰離子電池B1~B12包含具有可回收電量的廢棄鋰離子電池時,根據預設的並聯數量來依序將需要進行放電的廢棄鋰離子電池並聯,以形成一電池並聯電路,並控制第一開關SW 1、繼電器RL以及第三開關SW 3來使電池並聯電路電性連接至感應電阻R 0,藉此可判斷電池並聯電路中的任一廢棄鋰離子電池之電壓值是否達到第一預設電壓值(截止電壓),以及判斷此電池並聯電路之電壓值是否超過超級電容充電電壓值一第二電壓值(即大於超級電容充電電壓值+第二電壓值)。例如,控制第一開關SW 1來使廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2並聯,以形成前述之電池並聯電路,並斷開其他的廢棄鋰離子電池B3~B12。然後,分別判斷廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2的電壓值是否達到第一預設電壓值,以及判斷廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2之電池並聯電路的電壓值是否超過超級電容充電電壓值一第二預設電壓值。 Then, when the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 to B12 include waste lithium-ion batteries with recyclable power, the waste lithium-ion batteries that need to be discharged are sequentially connected in parallel according to the preset parallel connection number to form a battery parallel circuit, and Control the first switch SW 1 , the relay RL and the third switch SW 3 to electrically connect the battery parallel circuit to the sensing resistor R 0 , thereby determining whether the voltage value of any waste lithium-ion battery in the battery parallel circuit reaches the third A preset voltage value (cut-off voltage), and determining whether the voltage value of the battery parallel circuit exceeds the supercapacitor charging voltage value-a second voltage value (that is, is greater than the supercapacitor charging voltage value + the second voltage value). For example, the first switch SW 1 is controlled to connect the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 and B2 in parallel to form the aforementioned battery parallel circuit, and to disconnect the other waste lithium-ion batteries B3 to B12. Then, it is respectively determined whether the voltage values of the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 and B2 reach the first preset voltage value, and whether the voltage value of the battery parallel circuit of the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 and B2 exceeds the supercapacitor charging voltage value - the second preset voltage value. Set the voltage value.
在本實施例中,第一預設電壓值為2.75伏特(V),而第二預設電壓值為0.05V。然而,本發明之實施例並不受限此。In this embodiment, the first preset voltage value is 2.75 volts (V), and the second preset voltage value is 0.05V. However, embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
當廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2的電壓值未達到2.75V時,表示廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2未達標準,廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2會被認為是不具有可回收電量的電池。又,當廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2的電壓值達到2.75V,且廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2之電池並聯電路的電壓值超過超級電容充電電壓值0.05V(即大於超級電容充電電壓值+0.05V)時,表示廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2之電池並聯電路可進行第一階段放電。又,當廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2的電壓值達到2.75V,而廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2之電池並聯電路的電壓值未超過超級電容充電電壓值0.05V時,可考慮增加電池並聯電路中的廢電池數量。例如,控制第一開關SW 1來使廢棄鋰離子電池B1~B3並聯,以將廢棄鋰離子電池B3加入至電池並聯電路中。然後,再回到前述的判斷步驟中,以判斷廢棄鋰離子電池B3之電壓值是否達到2.75V,以及判斷此電池並聯電路之電壓值是否超過超級電容充電電壓值0.05V。若判斷條件都滿足,則表示廢棄鋰離子電池B1~B3之電池並聯電路可進行第一階段放電。 When the voltage value of the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 and B2 does not reach 2.75V, it means that the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 and B2 do not meet the standards. The waste lithium-ion batteries B1 and B2 will be considered as batteries that do not have recyclable power. Also, when the voltage value of the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 and B2 reaches 2.75V, and the voltage value of the battery parallel circuit of the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 and B2 exceeds the supercapacitor charging voltage value by 0.05V (that is, it is greater than the supercapacitor charging voltage value + 0.05 V), it means that the battery parallel circuit of waste lithium-ion batteries B1 and B2 can perform the first stage of discharge. Also, when the voltage value of the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 and B2 reaches 2.75V, and the voltage value of the battery parallel circuit of the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 and B2 does not exceed the supercapacitor charging voltage value of 0.05V, it may be considered to increase the battery parallel circuit. number of used batteries. For example, the first switch SW 1 is controlled to connect the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 to B3 in parallel, so that the waste lithium-ion battery B3 is added to the battery parallel circuit. Then, return to the aforementioned determination steps to determine whether the voltage value of the waste lithium-ion battery B3 reaches 2.75V, and determine whether the voltage value of the parallel circuit of the battery exceeds the supercapacitor charging voltage value by 0.05V. If the judgment conditions are met, it means that the battery parallel circuit of the waste lithium-ion batteries B1~B3 can be discharged in the first stage.
另外,在本發明之一實施例中,若新增廢棄鋰離子電池(例如廢棄鋰離子電池B3) 之電壓值未達到2.75V,亦可以將廢棄鋰離子電池B1~B3之電池並聯電路視為可進行第一階段放電的電池並聯電路,此係因為後續的第一階段放電操作可將超級電容並聯來降低充電要求。In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, if the voltage value of the newly added waste lithium-ion battery (such as waste lithium-ion battery B3) does not reach 2.75V, the battery parallel circuit of the waste lithium-ion battery B1~B3 can also be regarded as A battery parallel circuit that can perform first-stage discharge because the subsequent first-stage discharge operation can connect supercapacitors in parallel to reduce charging requirements.
重複上述的判斷步驟以及增加電池並聯電路中廢電池數量的步驟,如此即可決定廢棄鋰離子電池B1~B12中的哪些廢棄鋰離子電池被並聯來進行第一階段放電。在一些實施例中,被決定為可進行第一階段放電的廢棄鋰離子電池的數量可僅為一個廢棄鋰離子電池,或者如上述包含多個並聯廢棄鋰離子電池的電池並聯電路。Repeat the above judgment steps and the steps of increasing the number of waste batteries in the battery parallel circuit, so that it can be determined which waste lithium-ion batteries among the waste lithium-ion batteries B1 to B12 are connected in parallel for the first stage of discharge. In some embodiments, the number of waste lithium-ion batteries determined to be capable of the first stage of discharge may be only one waste lithium-ion battery, or a battery parallel circuit including multiple waste lithium-ion batteries connected in parallel as described above.
由上述說明可知,本發明實施例之放電平衡階段係週期性對廢棄鋰離子電池之閉迴路電壓進行檢測,判斷放電或靜置的電池顆數,使廢棄鋰離子電池在並聯模式下減少自發性相互衝放電以及放電不完全的現象。As can be seen from the above description, the discharge balance stage of the embodiment of the present invention periodically detects the closed-circuit voltage of the waste lithium-ion battery to determine the number of discharged or resting batteries, so that the waste lithium-ion battery can reduce the spontaneity in the parallel mode. The phenomenon of mutual charging and discharge and incomplete discharge.
在進行放電平衡階段後,接著進行步驟330,以進行搜尋階段來決定後續第一階段放電操作所使用的最佳放電方法。在步驟330中,首先根據複數個預設佔空比以及複數個預設頻率值來進行脈波放電法,以控制前述之電池並聯電路(例如,廢棄鋰離子電池B1和B2串接)放電至感應電阻R
0,並獲得複數個脈波放電電流值。在本實施例中,提供了11個以750Hz為中心的預設頻率值500Hz、550Hz、600Hz、650Hz、700Hz、750Hz、800 Hz、850 Hz、、900 Hz、950 Hz以及1000 Hz以及5個預設佔空比50%、60%、70%、80%以及90%。如此,本實施例提供了55個佔空比/頻率值組合,而微控制器122利用此55個佔空比/頻率值組合來控制繼電器RL,以獲得對應55個佔空比/頻率值組合之35個脈波放電電流值I
dis。例如,微控制器122輸出控制訊號t
on和t
off至繼電器RL,以控制繼電器RL在頻率750Hz和佔空比50%的情況下來操作。同時,微控制器122輸出控制訊號S
3來控制第三開關SW
3,以將感應電阻R
0連接至前述之電池並聯電路(例如電池並聯電路B1~B2),如此便能利用感應電阻R
0來測得在頻率750Hz和佔空比50%的情況下的脈波放電電流值。另外,本實施例之微控制器122利用移位暫存器124來依序提供上述多個佔空比/頻率值組合至繼電器RL。
After performing the discharge balancing stage,
在獲得55個佔空比/頻率值組合對應的55個脈波放電電流值後,選取最大脈波放電電流值對應的佔空比/頻率值組合來作為脈波放電法的佔空比/頻率值。After obtaining 55 pulse discharge current values corresponding to 55 duty cycle/frequency value combinations, select the duty cycle/frequency value combination corresponding to the maximum pulse discharge current value as the duty cycle/frequency of the pulse wave discharge method value.
在決定第一階段放電操作所使用的最佳放電方法後,進行步驟340,以進行第一階段放電操作。在第一階段放電操作中,微控制器122輸出控制訊號S2來控制第二開關SW
2,以控制超級電容SC1~SC4在並聯狀態下,同時以前述之最佳放電方法來控制前述之電池並聯電路(例如電池並聯電路B1~B2)放電至超級電容SC1~SC4。
After determining the best discharge method used in the first-stage discharge operation,
如之前所述,在一實施例中,電池並聯電路B1~B2被決定為可進行第一階段放電操作。如此,搜尋階段會針對電池並聯電路B1~B2來決定相應的最佳放電方法,以控制電池並聯電路B1~B2放電至超級電容SC1~SC4。As mentioned before, in one embodiment, the battery parallel circuits B1 to B2 are determined to be capable of performing the first-stage discharge operation. In this way, the search phase will determine the corresponding optimal discharge method for the battery parallel circuits B1~B2 to control the battery parallel circuits B1~B2 to discharge to the supercapacitors SC1~SC4.
當電池並聯電路B1~B2放電至超級電容SC1~SC4後,進行步驟350,以進行第二階段放電操作。在第二階段放電操作中,微控制器122輸出控制訊號S2來控制第二開關SW
2,以控制超級電容SC1~SC4處在串聯狀態下,同時控制超級電容SC1~SC4放電至第二儲能裝置,例如二次電池。
After the battery parallel circuits B1 to B2 are discharged to the supercapacitors SC1 to SC4,
另外,當第一階段放電操作結束後,即步驟340結束後,可進行步驟350,以將放電後之廢棄鋰離子電池(電池並聯電路B1~B2)鬆弛一段預設鬆弛時間,而讓放電後之廢棄鋰離子電池B1~B2的電壓回升。如此,這些經過放電後之廢棄鋰離子電池B1~B2可以再次進行前述之第一階段放電操作來萃取出電能。在一實施例中,預設鬆弛時間為10分鐘至20分鐘,但本發明之實施例並不受限於此。再者,當廢棄鋰離子電池鬆弛一預設次數後,便不會對其進行鬆弛操作,因為其電量可能都已萃取完畢。在一實施例中,此預設次數為3,但本發明之實施例並不受限於此。In addition, after the first stage of discharging operation is completed, that is, after
由上述說明可知,本發明實施例之廢棄鋰離子電池之電能回收系統100與電能回收方法300利用電池鬆弛操作來提高廢棄鋰離子電池的電量回收效率。其次,透過廢棄鋰離子電池間的放電平衡機制,可減少因電池組間個別電池之內電阻、容量不平衡而產生的各種問題。再者,利用兩階段放電的方式來將電能轉移至並聯之超級電容,再接著從串聯超級電容轉移至二次電池,可提高廢棄鋰離子電池剩餘電量萃取效益。在本發明之一實施例中,上述之電池並聯電路可包含12個廢棄鋰離子電池,以取得較佳的萃電效率。As can be seen from the above description, the
本發明實施例之廢棄鋰離子電池之電能回收系統100與電能回收方法300可將多個電池剩餘能量整合提供二次電池充電,促使一般消費者更願意減少電池能源的浪費。在未來,可供回收廠商在分解電池材料前利用此方法回收內部能量,對於回收廠商而言可增加額外電能,並且不會對回收材料本身價值有所影響。The electrical
