Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of multi-functional battery system monitoring, and particularly relates to a conformal integration method and system for a battery system state monitoring curved surface sensing array. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of the increasingly severe global energy crisis, improving energy use efficiency and promoting renewable energy have become particularly crucial. As an innovative approach to energy conversion and storage, multi-functional battery system technology has attracted much attention because it can synchronously process multiple energy forms. However, the complexity, diversity, and high integration characteristics of such systems in design and operation pose more stringent requirements for monitoring and control technologies. Especially in the monitoring of curved surface battery system entities, the conformal fitting ability of the monitoring system has become the core element to ensure monitoring effectiveness and system stability.

[0003] The monitoring of multi-functional battery systems mainly relies on implantable sensors, such as fiber Bragg grating sensors. The specific problems faced by existing implantable sensors in curved surface monitoring include: (1) In multi-signal measurement, complex decoupling algorithms are required, which increases the difficulty and complexity of data processing; (2) The sensors have insufficient stability in complex environments and are easily damaged, especially under dynamic working conditions; (3) The size and rigidity of the sensors limit their conformal fitting ability with the curved surface battery system and may damage the energy structure; (4) The integration level is insufficient, making it difficult to synchronously measure multiple physical quantities, which limits the performance of the monitoring system; (5) The spatial resolution is insufficient, restricting the ability of distributed measurement and affecting the comprehensiveness and detail of monitoring; (6) In large-area monitoring, it is difficult to find a balance between monitoring effect and engineering cost, especially in curved surface monitoring, and this challenge is even more obvious.

[0004] Embedded micro-sensors provide an alternative. They usually have higher measurement accuracy and stability and can detect more types of physical parameters. However, these sensors are limited by their size in practical applications and are difficult to conformally fit with the curved surface battery system, and may damage the internal energy structure during the implantation process. Metal thin film temperature sensors prepared by CMOS technology, although showing the potential for conformal fitting with multi-functional battery systems, the current research limitations have led to the fact that these sensors have not yet been able to achieve integrated monitoring of multi-physical field parameters, and there are deficiencies in spatial resolution and the diversity of monitoring locations.

[0005] To overcome the above challenges, a conformal integration method for a battery system state monitoring curved surface sensing array needs to be developed to be able to adapt to the complex curved surfaces of multi-functional battery systems and achieve real-time and accurate monitoring of multi-physical field parameters.

[0006] However, the design of such a sensing array must take into account the geometric characteristics of the curved surface to ensure that the sensors can closely adhere to and adapt to any curvature changes of the energy surface. Traditional three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D-MIDs) and 3D printing technologies do not have the ability to fabricate circuits on curved surfaces. Electroplating and electroless plating methods not only have low production efficiency and are prone to defects such as holes when preparing thick conductive layers, but also are accompanied by environmental pollution problems. Although traditional screen printing methods are convenient for fabricating conductive circuits, they have poor process adaptability when printing complex curved surface conformal circuits, and the rigid screen frame may interfere with the structure of the substrate, restricting the size of the circuit pattern. Although the transfer printing method can form the entire circuit in one step, its accuracy is affected by the template, and the overall size of the printable circuit is limited. Finally, in terms of functional integration, precisely integrating functional materials into structural materials in traditional processes usually requires complex assembly and connection to achieve specific functional designs. These limitations indicate that traditional circuit manufacturing technologies have obvious deficiencies in curved surface manufacturing, and there is an urgent need to develop new technologies to overcome these challenges in order to achieve more efficient, environmentally friendly, and precise curved surface circuit manufacturing, which is of great significance for improving the performance and reliability of electronic devices.

[0007] In recent years, the breakthrough of flexible electronics technology, especially the development of advanced curved surface integrated preparation technologies such as COMS, MEMS, electrohydrodynamic jet printing, and transfer printing, has provided new possibilities for the preparation of highly integrated, miniaturized, and flexible multifunctional sensors. It not only promotes the development of the curved surface conformal multi-physical field sensing array itself, but also provides new ideas and tools for the design and implementation of the hardware acquisition system, making the multi-physical field curved surface conformal attachment monitoring of the multifunctional battery system more feasible and efficient.

The input-output electrode group is a key part for connecting the sensing array to the external measurement circuit and is composed of a group of carefully designed electrodes to ensure the stability of the electrical connection. The single sensing unit is suitable for unilateral distributed monitoring, and each sensing unit integrates two strain sensors and one temperature sensor. The strain sensors are divided into a horizontal and a vertical direction as a group to measure the strain in two directions of the battery system. Each sensing unit has two groups of strain and temperature sensors for distributed measurement to achieve more comprehensive monitoring coverage. The temperature sensor is made of PT1000 or a highly sensitive temperature-sensitive material to real-time monitor the temperature changes at different positions of the battery system. The strain sensor is used to measure the deformation of the battery system and provide key mechanical property data.

[0113] The curved conformal multi-physical field sensing array is directly prepared on the outer surface of the battery system by a roboticized electrohydrodynamic jet printing technique. As Figure 2 shown, the sensing array is prepared by electrohydrodynamic jet printing technique.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 3 , for the analog signal acquisition part. The temperature sensor and the strain sensor convert physical quantities such as ambient temperature and strain into analog electrical signals, and these signals are then sent to the ADS1120 analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This converter has 16 channels and can convert analog signals into digital signals. The ADS1120 communicates with the STM32F401 microcontroller through a full-duplex synchronous serial bus interface. The full-duplex synchronous serial bus is a high-speed synchronous serial communication protocol suitable for short-distance communication. The STM32F401, as the main control unit, sends configuration commands to the ADS1120 through the full-duplex synchronous serial bus interface and receives the converted digital signals.

[0115] In the digital signal processing stage, the STM32F401 microcontroller processes the digital signals from the ADS1120. In addition, the system also integrates a TCA9539 I2C multiplexer to expand the full-duplex synchronous serial bus interface, allowing multiple ADS1120s to share the same integrated circuit bus, thus enabling the acquisition of more sensor signals. The TCA9539 supports communication rates of 100kHz and 400kHz and exchanges data with the STM32F401 via the integrated circuit bus. In the data transmission section, the STM32F401 sends the processed data to the host computer through the RS422 interface. RS422 is a differential signal transmission technology suitable for long-distance and high-speed data transmission. The MAX3490 acts as an RS422 / RS485 transceiver, ensuring stable communication between the STM32F401 and the host computer. At the same time, the MPU6050 sensor is connected to the STM32F401 through the full-duplex synchronous serial bus interface, providing attitude or motion state information, which is processed and transmitted together with the data from the ADS1120.

[0116] Finally, in the data display stage, the host computer uses software such as LabVIEW or Matlab to receive the data from the STM32F401. These software platforms have powerful data processing and visualization capabilities, and can further analyze the received data and display it on the user interface.
