This invention provides a method for monitoring, locating, and warning of
thermal runaway in battery modules, belonging to the field of battery module
thermal runaway monitoring technology. This invention involves setting up multiple
acoustic sensor arrays within the battery module's
energy storage compartment to collect acoustic signals in real time, constructing a target acoustic event feature
library including
safety valve opening and battery exhaust characteristics, employing a sparse expert
hybrid acoustic recognition model to intelligently identify and classify the acoustic signals, and establishing an acoustic region division
mechanism based on the exhaust sound attenuation
propagation equation. When a
safety valve opening event is detected, the
thermal runaway module is quickly located by comparing the peak values of the cross-channel
sound pressure level. The method continuously monitors the acoustic characteristics of battery exhaust and calculates the
sound pressure level attenuation gradient, matching it with the regional acoustic feature
library to achieve precise region location. Simultaneously, it predicts the
diffusion path based on the thermal runaway propagation dynamics equation and dynamically adjusts the recognition
model parameters, solving the technical problem of accurately locating the thermal runaway source.
