[0012] Furthermore, the detailed process of step S4 is as follows: S401: Real-time acquisition of battery pack operating data, combined with electrical data acquired during pulse periods, to calculate basic indicators; Operational data includes: battery, individual cell voltage, internal resistance correction value, real-time temperature, SOC, and cycle count increment; The basic indicators include: voltage deviation, SOC deviation, temperature rise rate, and internal resistance change rate. S402. Assess the risk level of the battery cell; the risk levels are divided into three levels from high to low: Level 3, Level 2, and Level 1. The rules for determining risk levels are as follows: By comparing the risk conditions, determine the basic indicators and SOH levels of the battery, and find the item with the highest risk level. The risk level corresponding to this parameter is the risk level of the battery. If the battery's basic indicators and SOH do not meet the risk conditions of Level 1, 2, or 3, the battery is considered to be in a state of no degradation. S403. Based on the risk level, provide a corresponding self-healing strategy to self-heal the control battery. The self-healing strategy corresponding to Level 1 risk is: Perform a mild discharge equalization operation on the battery; The self-healing process is complete when the stopping conditions are met. The stopping conditions are: voltage deviation less than 30mV, SOC deviation not exceeding 2%, and SOH exceeding 85% but not exceeding 15%. Set safety protection activation conditions, and reduce the discharge rate when the safety protection activation conditions are met; The safety protection activation condition is that the temperature rise rate is greater than 2℃ / s; The self-healing strategy corresponding to Level 2 risk is: The battery is subjected to step-by-step standard current balancing and low-intensity pulse activation operations in sequence, with a large time interval between the current balancing and pulse activation operations to avoid heat accumulation. The self-healing process is complete when the stopping conditions are met. When the safety protection activation conditions are met, pulse activation is immediately stopped, and only equalization operation is maintained until self-healing is completed; The safety protection activation condition is: the temperature rise rate is greater than 2.5℃ / s; The self-healing strategy corresponding to Level 3 risk is: The battery is subjected to high-intensity pulse activation and stepped low-current equalization operations in sequence; a large time interval is left between the pulse activation and current activation operations to avoid heat accumulation. The self-healing process ends when the stopping condition is met. Similarly, set the safety protection activation conditions. When the safety protection activation conditions are met, immediately stop the self-healing and start the cooling operation. The safety protection activation conditions are: either the temperature is greater than 45℃ or the temperature rise rate is greater than 3℃ / s. When the temperature does not exceed 35℃ and the temperature rise rate is less than 1.5℃ / s, the self-healing process will restart. Repeat the self-healing strategy until self-healing is complete; S404. Conduct short-term and long-term repair assessments; Within 10 minutes of the battery healing process being completed, the battery's basic indicators and SOH data were extracted again, and the SOH improvement rate, internal resistance improvement rate, and consistency recovery rate of the battery cell were calculated. The expression for the SOH improvement rate is as follows: (10); in, For SOH improvement rate, , The SOH values are shown for the battery before and after self-healing, respectively. The expression for the internal resistance improvement rate is as follows: (11); in, For the internal resistance improvement rate, , These represent the rate of change of internal resistance of the battery before and after self-healing, respectively. The expression for the consistency recovery rate is as follows: (12); in, For consistency recovery rate, , These are the voltage deviations before and after battery self-healing, respectively. The improvement rate of SOH, the improvement rate of internal resistance, and the recovery rate of consistency are judged. When at least two of them meet the short-term repair conditions, the short-term repair is judged to be successful. When the battery does not meet the short-term repair conditions, remove the battery from the module. When the battery short-term repair meets the standard, the battery cell operation data is extracted 7 days and 30 days after self-healing, and the 7-day SOH decay rate and 30-day consistency deviation rate are calculated. The expression for the 7-day SOH decay rate is: (13); in, The 7-day SOH decay rate The SOH (Solubility and Health) on the 7th day after battery self-healing; The expression for the 30-day consistency deviation rate is: (14); in, The 30-day consistency deviation rate. The voltage deviation is on the 7th day after the battery self-heals. The 7-day SOH decay rate and 30-day consistency deviation rate were evaluated. When the long-term repair conditions were met, the long-term repair was deemed to have met the standards. If the long-term repair conditions are not met, it is determined that the long-term repair is not up to standard. After fine-tuning the pulse and current balancing parameters in the battery self-healing strategy, step S4 is re-executed to perform self-healing.
[0013] Furthermore, in step S402, the risk level conditions are as follows: Level 1 risk conditions include: Condition 1, voltage deviation range is [80mV, 100mV) or SOC deviation range is [3%, 5%); Condition 2, the range of SOH is [75%, 80%) and ; Level 2 risk conditions include: Condition 3, voltage deviation greater than 100mV or SOC deviation greater than 5%; Condition 4, the range of SOH is [70%, 75%) and ; Level 3 risk conditions include: Condition 5. ; Condition 6: SOH is less than 70%; Condition 7: The rate of temperature rise is greater than 2℃ / s.
[0014] Furthermore, the short-term repair conditions are as follows: (15); in, The threshold for achieving the SOH improvement rate is... The threshold for achieving the improvement rate of internal resistance is... The threshold for achieving the consistency recovery rate; The conditions for long-term repair are as follows: (16); in, The threshold for long-term SOH repair indicators. This is the threshold for long-term voltage deviation repair indicators.
[0015] Furthermore, the adjustment process in step S5 is as follows: For batteries that have achieved long-term repair standards, the pulse and current balancing parameters in their battery self-healing strategy are used as general parameters for the corresponding risk level battery self-healing strategy.
[0016] Furthermore, the tracking and monitoring process is as follows: After the battery corresponding to the level 3 risk is cured, it will be monitored for 30 consecutive days in a high-frequency monitoring manner. If there are no abnormalities after 30 days, it will be switched to routine monitoring. After the battery corresponding to the level 2 risk is cured, it will be monitored for 14 consecutive days using high-frequency monitoring. If there are no abnormalities after 14 days, it will be switched to routine monitoring. After the battery corresponding to Level 1 risk is cured, it should be monitored for 7 consecutive days using high-frequency monitoring. If there are no abnormalities after 7 days, it should be switched to routine monitoring.
[0017] Beneficial effects: (1) Adjust the voltage and internal resistance according to the ambient temperature to avoid interference from the ambient temperature; (2) Introducing an objective optimization function for grouping can overcome the drawbacks of traditional grouping methods that rely on manual grouping, improve grouping efficiency, and reduce costs; (3) A graded self-healing strategy can be selected in a targeted manner to improve the battery repair speed; (4) The self-healing strategy parameter update can ensure that the selected parameters are compatible with the corresponding battery; (5) A tiered tracking strategy can reduce monitoring costs; (6) Introducing long-term and short-term assessments can not only promptly screen out batteries that have failed to be repaired, but also avoid the problem of false repair success.

The self-healing process ends when the stopping condition is met. Similarly, set the safety protection activation conditions. When the safety protection activation conditions are met, immediately stop the self-healing and start the cooling operation.

The expression for the internal resistance improvement rate is as follows: (11); in, For the internal resistance improvement rate, , These represent the rate of change of internal resistance of the battery before and after self-healing, respectively. The expression for the consistency recovery rate is as follows: (12); in, For consistency recovery rate, , These are the voltage deviations before and after battery self-healing, respectively. The improvement rate of SOH, the improvement rate of internal resistance, and the recovery rate of consistency are judged. When at least two of them meet the short-term repair conditions, the short-term repair is judged to be successful. When the battery does not meet the short-term repair conditions, remove the battery from the module. When the battery short-term repair meets the standard, the battery cell operation data is extracted 7 days and 30 days after self-healing, and the 7-day SOH decay rate and 30-day consistency deviation rate are calculated.

When the long-term repair conditions were met, the long-term repair was deemed to have met the standards. If the long-term repair conditions are not met, it is determined that the long-term repair is not up to standard. After fine-tuning the pulse and current balancing parameters in the battery self-healing strategy, step S4 is re-executed to perform self-healing.
