Description

电致变色器件的控制方法、装置、设备及存储介质
本申请要求在2019年12月17日提交中国专利局、申请号为201911305034.0的中国专利申请的优先权,该申请的全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及电致变色器件技术领域,例如涉及一种电致变色器件的控制方法、装置、设备及存储介质。
背景技术
电致变色器件需要通过外加电压或外加电流来实现控制器件中材料可逆的电化学氧化还原反应,从而得以调节器件的透过率或是反射率。在通常的运用中,常常使用恒压(使用一个特定的电压维持一定的时间)或恒流(使用一个特定的电流维持一定的时间)充放电来实现。这种简单的充放电形式会带来一系列的问题,如器件的变色不均匀,变色速度慢,循环寿命短等问题。
相关技术中,一般采用恒流充放电的方式,通过充电时监测器件中两点达到的感应电势或计算充放的总电荷数来控制控制器件的透过率。当感应电势达到设定值时,通过持续给器件加恒压的方法来维持器件感应电势不变来维持器件透过率不变。相关技术的缺点是必须要从器件中引出电极,来监控充放电时的感应电势,再由器件两极产生的反应电流监测计算反应电荷,由此来进行逻辑判定。再而,在加持续恒压的时候,透明导电电极上的电势分布不均匀,电源输入两极附近电势高,导致电源两极区域先变色,而由于透明导电电极内阻大,离电极较远位置的电势较低,不能使变色材料有足够的电压进行反应,表现为两极区域的透过率和中心区域的变色不一致,需要更长的等待时间才能使中心慢慢的达到所需透过率,而使整个电致变色器件的透过率趋于一致,此问题一般称为“虹膜效应”。为了使电致变色器件均匀变色,需要更大电压来驱动电致变色器件,从而使器件边缘区域的电势高于材料本身的稳定电势,导致器件边缘不稳定降解的情况,持续的恒压使器件不稳定性大大增加。

实施例一
图1为本申请实施例一提供的一种电致变色器件的控制方法的流程图,本实施例可适用于控制电致变色器件稳定透过率的情况,包括如下步骤:
步骤100、判断所述电致变色器件的当前透过率是否达到预设透过率。
本实施例中,电致变色器件可以设置为电致变色后视镜,电致变色智能窗,电致变色眼镜等等多种调光装置。电致变色器件一般通过外加电压或者电流控制电致变色器件中的材料产生可逆的电化学氧化还原,从而控制电阻变色器件的透过率改变。在一些情况下,电致变色器件可能由于一些因素造成当前透过率的改变,例如环境温度变化、器件使用时长等,导致电致变色器件的当前透过率不能达到预设透过率;或者在另一些情况下,预设透过率的值被调整时,导致电致变色器件的当前透过率不能达到预设透过率。因此,需要实时监测电致变色器件的当前透过率是否在预设透过率的范围内。
步骤110、若所述电致变色器件的当前透过率未达到预设透过率,则控制外部电源对所述电致变色器件进行第一模式充放电,直至所述电致变色器件的当前透过率达到所述预设透过率。
本实施例中,如果当前电致变色器件没有达到预设透过率,则需要控制外部电源对电致变色器件进行第一模式充放电,控制其达到预设透过率。
所述第一模式充放电或第二模式充放电包括:恒压充放电、恒流充放电、脉冲充放电和/或扫速充放电。
脉冲充放电包括多个脉冲段和多个间歇段,多个脉冲段和多个间歇段间隔分布,每个脉冲段和每个间歇段的持续时间均较短,分别在0.001~20s内。在脉冲段,可以采用处于电化学稳定窗口内的常规电压,或采用高于电化学稳定窗口的高电压(例如,2-40V),或采用常规电流(例如,常规电流小于1A/m 2),或采用高电流(例如,1~100A/m 2)进行充放电;在间歇段时,可以暂时停止充放电,也可以采用与脉冲段反向的电压或电流进行充放电。
扫速充放电为在充电初始阶段,电致变色器件的分压逐步上升,直至上升到预设电压时,进行恒压充电。外部电源对电致变色器件进行扫速充放电,可以通过在电路中与电致变色器件串联一个固定电阻来实现,当电致变色器件为完全放电状态时,电致变色器件内阻可视为“0”,电路中固定电阻分担电路电压。随着充电过程的进行,电致变色器件内阻增加,其在电路的分压逐步上升,最终可将电致变色器件内阻视为“无穷大”,分担电路中所有电压,形成恒压充电。
在本实施例中,根据恒压充放电、恒流充放电、脉冲充放电和/或扫速充放电进行排列组合可以得到以下多种充放电形式以对电致变色器件进行充电,从而达到实现电致变色器件维持在特定的透过率的效果,并且电致变色器件的变色均匀,且使用寿命大大提高:恒压充放电、瞬时高电压和恒压充放电、瞬时高电流和恒压充放电、恒流充放电、瞬时高电压和恒流充放电、瞬时高电流和恒流充放电、正向恒压充放电-一定时间的断路或反向恒压充放电-恒压充放电循环、正向恒压充放电-一定时间的断路或反向恒流充放电-恒压充放电循环、正向恒流充放电-一定时间的断路或反向恒压充放电-恒流充放电、正向恒流充放电-一定时间的断路或反向恒流充放电-恒流充放电或扫速充放电。
本实施例中,所述电致变色器件的当前透过率达到所述预设透过率的判断方法包括:所述电致变色器件的充放电电荷数达到预设数值、所述电致变色器件的恒压或恒流输出时间达到预设时间或所述电致变色器件的输出电流小于预设截止电流。
本实施例中,通过当前透过率达到预设透过率的判断方法,可以准确判断 采用不同充放电模式对电致变色器件进行充电时,电致变色器件是否达到了预设透过率。
在本实施例中,通过电致变色器件的开路电势,判断是否需要通过恒流、恒压等多种充放电形式给电致变色器件充放电来维持一定透过率,准确实现调整电致变色器件透过率范围。(透过率由较高的状态调整至较低状态,或由较低透过率调整至较高透过率)电致变色逻辑控制板通过向电致变色器件输出正向或反向的电压或电流使其发生氧化还原反应,以改变电致变色器件透过率状态。其根据计算传输的电荷数或通过检测器件内部开路电势决定何时停止输出,以达到调节电致变色器件透过率范围的效果,同时保护器件,避免对器件过充过放。为了达到此目的,逻辑控制板需要有电压检测传感器检测器件开路电压开路电势。在收到调节器件透过率的指令后(变暗或变亮),逻辑控制板向电致变色器件输入电压或电流,同时电流积分器对传输到电致变色器件的电流进行检测并计算电荷数,当数值满足设定的电荷数时,停止电压或电流输出。在一些情况下,当电致变色器件处于或假设处于规定要求的透过率范围时,停止电压或电流输出。在一些情况下,当电致变色器件达到规定开路电压开路电势等级或处于规定开路电势等级范围时,停止电压或电流输出。在一些情况下,当输出规定的恒压或恒流时间后,停止电源输出。为了保持电致变色器件处于规定透过率范围直到收到下次改变器件透过率范围的指令,在一些情况下,当传输的电荷数量达到要求阈值或器件开路电势达到设定阈值时,改为目标电压恒压输出,使电致变色器件始终维持在目标电压下以满足维持透过率状态的要求,直至再次给出调整器件透过率的指令。或者当传输的电荷数量达到要求阈值或器件开路电势达到设定阈值时停止电压或电流输出,同时电压传感器持续检测器件内部开路电势的变化,控制电致变色器件的当前开路电势维持在预设开路电势阈值范围内。一实施例中,当电致变色器件的当前开路电势高于电致变色器件的预设平衡电位时,当开路电势衰减达到设定的最小阈值时,重新给电致变色器件采用第二模式进行充电,直到器件的当前开路电势达到预设开路电势阈值上限时停止电压或电流输出,重复此步骤,直至再次得到调整透过率的指令;或当电致变色器件的当前开路电势低于电致变色器件的预设平衡电位时,若所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势高于预设开路电势阈值范围上限,则采用第二模式进行放电,直至当前开路电势低于预设开路电势阈值下限时,则停止放电,重复此步骤,直至再次得到调整透过率的指令。
以下为多种充放电模式中每种充放电模式的判断及实现过程:
恒压充放电模式:外部电源对电致变色器件进行恒压充放电,1a、在一些情况下,通过积分器对电致变色器件在恒压下产生的电流进行检测并计算电荷数,当数值满足设定的电荷数时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。1b、在一 些情况下,当电致变色器件达到规定要求的透过率时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。1c、在一些情况下,当输出规定的时长T n后(e.g.0.01s≤T n≤1000s),则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。1d、在一些情况下,在输出规定的时长后,检测电流,当器件电流达到预设截止电流I t的设定值或范围时(例如,0.1A/m 2≤I t≤10A/m 2),则停止电源充放电。在一些情况下,同时进行多项检测,当上述一项或任意多项1a-1d中的指标同时达到设定值时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。
恒流充放电模式:外部电源对电致变色器件进行恒流充放电,4a、在一些情况下,通过积分器对电源对电致变色器件输入的电流进行检测并计算电荷数,当数值满足设定的电荷数时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。4b、在一些情况下,当电致变色器件达到规定要求的透过率范围时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。4c、在一些情况下,当输出规定的时长后,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。4d、在一些情况下,在输出规定的时长后,检测电压,当器件电压达到恒压充放电截止电流I t的设定值或范围时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。在一些情况下,同时进行多项检测,当上述一项或任意多项4a-4d中的指标同时达到设定值时,则停止电源充放电。
以下结合充放电模式阐述本申请的可以使得电致变色器件快速变色的效果以及理论依据。对于一般无机电致变色器件来说,为了避免器件损坏和延长器件寿命,通常施加较小的输入电压或电流,所以器件变色速度较慢。对于大尺寸器件来说,变色时间更是长达30分钟。为了改善电致变色器件产品变色速度,对于类超级电容电致变色器件来说,充电电压或充电电流可以短时间内高于电化学窗口电压,即使用脉冲充电的方式,短时间内充入大量电荷,使器件透过率在短时间内发生快速变化。这得益于类超级电容电致变色器件电化学一般由双电子层电容和法拉第赝电容组成。赝电容的特点是被吸附的离子不会与电极上的原子发生电化学反应(氧化还原反应),而是发生电荷转移。溶液中的离子通过物理吸附的方式靠在电极表面,不产生也不断裂化学键。这个过程是可逆且非常迅速的。通过短时间使用高电压脉冲充电的方式作用于电致变色器件,虽然输入电压高于电化学稳定窗口,但电致变色材料短时间内不会有不可逆负反应发生,同时因为电荷转移的作用,器件内部的开路电势得以升高,器件整体透过率在短时间内有较大改变,以此可以在避免损坏电致变色器件的前提下,实现电致变色器件的快速变色。

以下结合充放电模式阐述本申请的可以使得电致变色器件快速均匀变色的效果以及理论依据。电致变色器件一般由两层透明导电层,电致变色材料层,离子存储层和中间电解质组成的“三明治”结构构成。对于尺寸较小的电致变色器件来说,(例如防眩目后视镜)整个变色过程通常可以实现较快速和均匀变色的效果。对于大尺寸电致变色器件,(例如电致变色智能窗)由于其容量较大,并且电极分布往往较远,经常需要长时间大电流充电使其透过率达到设定范围。而因为电致变色器件内部电压分布不均匀,电极两端电势差过大,导致其电极区域电致变色材料最先变色,以此和中心区域透过率不一致产生变色趋势,被称为“虹膜效应”。随着电致变色器件内部电势差减少,整个器件透过率逐渐趋于一致。在电致变色器件充电过程中,为了加快变色速度,往往使用大电流进行快充,但因为不同电致变色材料电流可接收程度不同,长时间使用大电流对电致变色器件进行充电将很快达到最大电压阈值,并且在两极附近的电致变色材料极易在过高电压下发生过度氧化不可逆反应导致器件损坏。因而使用恒压充电成为了比较安全的一种充电方式。但因电致变色器件在电化学反应过程中(充电或放电)总是受到其电化学所产生的极化效应的影响,主要极化表现为电化学极化,浓差极化和欧姆极化等。由于极化效应的存在,电致变色器件本身固有的可接受充放电电流按照一定形式衰减,使得器件无法接受长时间大电流充电,从而表现为充电速度减慢。在电致变色器件充电(氧化)过程中如果暂停外部电源输出,器件两极区域电致变色材料将会有一定程度的还原,这是因为当外加电场消失后,器件内部电势重新分布,两极和中心区域电势差消失,进而透过率也保持一致,但器件整体透过率随着充入的电荷增加而变高。可见,在电致变色器件充电过程中适当的停充或加入大电流放电,或在电致变色器件放电过程中适当的停充或加入大电流充电,可以使整个充电速度得到改善。

扫速充放电模式:外部电源对电致变色器件进行扫速充放电,通过在电路中与电致变色器件串联一个固定电阻来实现,当电致变色器件为完全放电状态时,电致变色器件内阻可视为“0”,电路中固定电阻分担电路电压。随着充电过程的进行,电致变色器件内阻逐步增加,其在电路中的分压逐步上升,最终可将电致变色器件内阻视为“无穷大”,分担电路中的所有电压,形成恒压充电。通过使用扫速充放电,电致变色器件内部电势能够逐步平衡上升,消除了两极附近电势差异,达到了均匀变色的效果。11a、在一些情况下,当电致变色器件达到规定要求的透过率范围时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。11b、在一些情况下,当输出规定的时长后,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。11c、在一些情况下,当器件电压达到预设截止电压的设定值时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。11d、在一些情况下,同时进行11a-11d的多项检测,当上述多项指标同时达到设定值时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。11e、在一些情况下,当器件电压达到设定值时,转为一定电压的恒压充放电,当输出规定的时长后,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。11f、在一些情况下,当器件电压达到设定值时,转为一定电压的恒压充放电,当电致变色器件达到规定要求的透过率范围时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。11g、在一些情况下,当器件电压达到设定值时,转为一定电压的恒压充放电,通过积分器对电致变色器件在线性变压和恒压下产生的电流进行检测并计算电荷数,当数值满足设定的电荷数时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。11h、在一些情况下,当器件电压达到设定值时,转为一定电压的恒压充放电,在输出规定的时长后,检测电流,当器件电流达到设定值或范围时,则停止对电致变色器件的充放电。
步骤120、若所述电致变色器件的当前透过率达到预设透过率,则暂停充放电,并持续监测所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势是否处于预设开路电势阈值范围内。
本实施例中,如果电致变色器件达到了预设透过率范围,则暂停充放电, 并持续监测电致变色器件的当前开路电势是否处于预设开路电势阈值范围内。
步骤130、若所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势不处于预设开路电势阈值范围内,则控制外部电源对所述电致变色器件进行第二模式充放电,以使得所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势持续处于所述预设开路电势阈值范围内。
本实施例中,步骤130包括步骤131和步骤132:
步骤131、若所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势高于所述电致变色器件的预设平衡电位,则持续监测所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势,若所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势高于预设开路电势阈值范围上限,则停止充电;若所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势低于预设开路电势阈值范围下限,则采用第二模式进行充电,直至当前开路电势达到预设开路电势阈值上限。
步骤132、若所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势低于所述电致变色器件的预设平衡电位,则持续监测所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势,若所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势低于预设开路电势阈值范围下限,则停止放电;若所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势高于预设开路电势阈值范围上限,则采用第二模式进行放电,直至当前开路电势达到预设开路电势阈值下限。
本实施例中,首先需要确定电致变色器件属于充电过程还是放电过程,根据充电或放电的过程不同,判断是否需要继续充放电的条件也不相同。电致变色器件的预设平衡电位也称可逆电位,指的是电极的正向反应和反向反应相等,亦即正逆过程的物质迁移和电荷运送速度都一致,此时通过电极的电流等于零或者电流无限小。预设平衡电位的值与电致变色器件所选用的电致变色层,离子存储层和选用电解质的材料有关。本实施例通过上述步骤131或130,可以使得电致变色器件的开路电势持续处于预设开路电势阈值范围内,从而使得电致变色器件维持在预设透过率。这样在透过率维持阶段,无需长期对电致变色器件保持恒压充电,而是在当前开路电势不处于预设开路电势阈值范围后,才对电致变色器件进行第二模式充放电,从而实现电致变色器件维持在特定的透过率,或任何中间状态的透过率以及不同透过率范围之间的循环,减少长时间恒流恒压充放电对器件造成的损害。
在预设透过率维持阶段,有关第二模式充放电的充放电模式举例和效果描述参见第一模式充放电的介绍,此处不再赘述。
本申请实施例提供了一种电致变色器件的控制方法、装置、设备及存储介质,该方法包括:判断所述电致变色器件的当前透过率是否达到预设透过率;若所述电致变色器件的当前透过率未达到预设透过率,则控制外部电源对所述电致变色器件进行第一模式充放电,直至所述电致变色器件的当前透过率达到 所述预设透过率;若所述电致变色器件的当前透过率达到预设透过率,则暂停充放电,并持续监测所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势是否处于预设开路电势阈值范围内;若所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势不处于预设开路电势阈值范围内,则控制外部电源对所述电致变色器件进行第二模式充放电,以使得所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势持续处于所述预设开路电势阈值范围内。本申请实施例提供的一种电致变色器件的控制方法,通过判断电致变色器件的开路电势是否达到预设要求,通过多种充电方式和判断条件对电致变色器件充电,解决了相关技术对电致变色器件无法精确控制和不稳定的问题,实现电致变色器件均匀的变色和寿命的提高。
实施例二
图2为本申请实施例二提供的一种电致变色器件的控制方法的流程图,本实施例可适用于控制电致变色器件稳定透过率的情况,包括如下步骤:
步骤200、当检测到调整指令时,判断所述电致变色器件的当前透过率是否达到预设透过率,所述调整指令在所述电致变色器件的当前透过率达到所述预设透过率时和/或符合其他预设条件时生成。
在本实施例中,其他预设条件包括以下条件中的一种或多种的组合:当温度变化超过预设温差范围时;电致变色器件断电重启时;当接收到用户输入的调整透过率的信息时;当电致变色器件的当前透过率与预设透过率的差值大于预设透过率差值范围时;距离上一次调整达到预设时间;当太阳光强度以及用户所处位置一年四季温差及光强改变时。
步骤210、若所述电致变色器件的当前透过率未达到预设透过率,则检测环境温度、所述电致变色器件的充放电循环圈数、所述电致变色器件的使用时间、所述电致变色器件充放电后的开路电势或所述电致变色器件充放电过程中的峰值电流。
本实施例中,为了实现对电致变色器件的透过率的精准调节,对器件的环境温度、器件的使用时间、循环圈数、一个固定电压时间段内的器件峰值电流,以及充放电时间后器件的开路电势进行检测,通过检测上述多个参数对第一模式的预设充放电参数进行调节。
步骤220、根据所述环境温度、所述电致变色器件的充放电循环圈数、所述电致变色器件的使用时间、所述电致变色器件充放电后的开路电势或所述电致变色器件充放电过程中的峰值电流修正第一模式预设充放电参数。
本实施例中,电致变色器件在温度和使用寿命的改变下自身性能会发生变 化。示例性的,电致变色器件在高温下更容易发生由过度氧化反应而带来的器件性能衰减或损坏。为了防止这种情况的发生,逻辑控制板能够收集外部温度传感器的实时数据,并以此来判断器件所处的外部环境,并在收到调整透过率范围的指令后,根据内部算法适当减小设定传输电荷的数值,或缩短恒压,恒流充电的时间。逻辑控制板能够根据外部温度的数值自动调整设定透过率范围、开路电势的最高和最低阈值,以此来避免器件在高温下发生过度氧化所产生的衰减或损坏。在一些情况下,逻辑控制板通过检测在一个特定电压下充电或放电电流的大小判断器件的外部环境,并在收到调整透过率范围的指令后,根据内部算法适当减小设定传输电荷的数值,或缩短恒压,恒流充电的时间并且自动调整设定透过率范围、开路电势的最高和最低阈值,以此来避免器件在高温下发生过度氧化所产生的衰减或损坏。示例性的,电致变色器件一般通过锂离子在电解质和电致变色材料之间的移动来实现变色功能。当给电致变色器件施加正向电压时驱动锂离子从离子导体/电解质内移动嵌入到电致变色材料内。同时,补偿电荷将从对电极内脱出,该电荷补偿电子将从外部电路流入并嵌入电致变色材料内保持电荷中性。随着循环使用时间的增加,在器件寿命的后期,由于法拉第电荷损耗的累积,离子在电致变色材料嵌入和脱出的过程将变得更加困难,这时需要通过提高输出的电压或电流来达到调节透过率范围的要求。逻辑控制板能通过检测在一个特定电压下充电或放电峰值电流的大小以及充放电后器件开路电势数值来判断器件的性能表现,当其检测电流或器件充放电后开路电势小于一个设定阈值时,逻辑控制板需要根据器件使用时间和循环圈数等内置算法对电致变色器件输出电压或电流值进行修改或更改输出时间,以保证调节设定透过率范围的要求。电致变色器件容量和面积,透过率和开路电势有着密切联系,逻辑控制板通过自动识别不同电致变色器件尺寸大小,依据相应的逻辑控制算法并结合器件运行环境进行电压或电流的输出,以此来保证在电致变色器件规定寿命内满足快速均匀地调节器件透过率的功能。
步骤230、控制外部电源对所述电致变色器件进行第一模式充放电以达到预设透过率。
本实施例中,当电致变色器件达到预设透过率,则进入对透过率的维持阶段。
步骤240、若电致变色器件的当前透过率达到预设透过率,则暂停充放电,并持续监测所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势是否处于预设开路电势阈值范围内。
步骤250、若所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势不处于预设开路电势阈值范围内,则控制外部电源对所述电致变色器件进行第二模式充放电,以使得所述 电致变色器件的当前开路电势持续处于所述预设开路电势阈值范围内。
本申请实施例提供了一种电致变色器件的控制方法,该方法包括:当检测到调整指令时,判断所述电致变色器件的当前透过率是否达到预设透过率,所述调整指令在所述电致变色器件的当前透过率达到所述预设透过率时和/或符合其他预设条件时生成;若所述电致变色器件的当前透过率未达到预设透过率,则检测环境温度、所述电致变色器件的充放电循环圈数、所述电致变色器件的使用时间、所述电致变色器件充放电后的开路电势或所述电致变色器件充放电过程中的峰值电流;根据所述环境温度、所述电致变色器件的充放电循环圈数、所述电致变色器件的使用时间、所述电致变色器件充放电后的开路电势或所述电致变色器件充放电过程中的峰值电流修正第一模式预设充放电参数;控制外部电源对所述电致变色器件进行第一模式充放电以达到预设透过率;若电致变色器件的当前透过率达到预设透过率,则暂停充放电,并持续监测所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势是否处于预设开路电势阈值范围内;若所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势不处于预设开路电势阈值范围内,则控制外部电源对所述电致变色器件进行第二模式充放电,以使得所述电致变色器件的当前开路电势持续处于所述预设开路电势阈值范围内。本申请实施例提供的一种电致变色器件的控制方法,通过判断电致变色器件的开路电势是否达到预设要求,通过多种充电方式和判断条件对电致变色器件充电,解决了相关技术对电致变色器件无法精确控制和不稳定的问题,实现电致变色器件均匀的变色和寿命的提高。
