Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of temperature control and early warning technology for new energy vehicle batteries, specifically to an integrated component for temperature control and early warning of new energy vehicle battery packs. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing emphasis on environmental protection and the deepening implementation of the concept of sustainable development, the new energy field is developing rapidly. Common examples include new energy vehicles, which use electricity instead of fuel to power cars, reducing emissions and contributing to long-term environmental protection. However, new energy vehicle technology is not yet fully mature. Taking car batteries as an example, effectively controlling battery temperature is a major concern, as battery charging and discharging capabilities and safety are significantly affected by temperature. Batteries can only function normally within a range of 15–42°C. Temperatures that are too low can cause batteries to malfunction, while excessively high temperatures not only accelerate battery aging and shorten their lifespan but may also lead to fires, explosions, and other accidents, seriously threatening the safety of passengers and causing loss of life and property. The heat generated by the battery pack dissipates slowly under natural, untreated conditions. Furthermore, to provide vehicles with higher power and range, battery packs are becoming increasingly larger, resulting in a smaller relative surface area. This leads to a series of battery thermal management issues, further accelerating battery performance degradation and shortening battery lifespan.

[0003] To ensure that batteries can operate in a suitable temperature environment, the most commonly used thermal management systems are air thermal management, liquid thermal management, and PCM thermal management. Air thermal management uses radiators or independent coolers to dissipate heat from the battery, while electric heaters heat the battery. Liquid thermal management lowers or raises the battery temperature through water circulation. PCM thermal management uses phase change materials (PCM) to absorb a large amount of latent heat in the battery, thereby maintaining a stable battery temperature. In existing electric vehicle battery thermal management technologies, there are problems such as poor temperature uniformity and low thermal management efficiency (Xiao Feng, Yang Bing, Zhang Yurong. Research on temperature control methods of electric vehicle battery thermal management system [J]. Internal Combustion Engine and Parts, 2021(05):198-199.). Because high thermal conductivity materials can dissipate heat in a timely manner, installing them around the outside of the battery can solve the problems of poor temperature uniformity and low efficiency to a certain extent. In addition, self-temperature-regulating composite materials are lightweight and flexible, and installing them around the outside of the battery can also achieve uniform heating.

[0004] With the continuous development of power detection technology, battery detection and early warning products for electric vehicles have gradually become mature. However, most early warning systems on the market at present simply measure the battery voltage. When the internal ohm value of the battery is large, the detected battery voltage value is not accurate enough. Therefore, how to achieve automatic, intelligent and accurate early warning for electric vehicles is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0005] Chinese invention patent 201410720277.1 discloses a liquid-cooled battery system for new energy vehicles and its temperature control method. The liquid-cooled battery system includes a battery system and a temperature control system. The battery system includes a battery pack and a battery management system installed therein. The temperature control system includes a high-pressure liquid heater, an electric three-way valve, a liquid-liquid heat exchanger, and a drive pump connected in series with the battery system; a battery radiator disposed between the electric three-way valve and the drive pump; and an electric air conditioning compressor, an air conditioning radiator, and a solenoid valve connected in series with the liquid-liquid heat exchanger. This technology lacks self-temperature control and, due to the loose connection between the battery and the cooling system, cannot guarantee the implementation of a warning function.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects and advantages:

[0050] 1) This invention changes the conventional battery heat dissipation method from taking heat dissipation measures on the outside of the battery pack to installing a flexible high thermal conductivity film around the battery pack and on the top inside the battery pack, so as to avoid local heat accumulation in the battery; at the same time, the flexible high thermal conductivity film of this invention is very thin and has a high thermal conductivity, so as to meet the heat transfer requirements without seriously affecting the original weight and size of the battery pack.

[0051] 2) The composite material with added foaming agent in this invention can form a uniform, dense, and closed sponge-like bubble structure inside. This bubble structure has a large shrinkage rate and large deformation, allowing it to expand and deform as the composite material's temperature rises. This increases the overall thermal expansion of the material, making temperature control easier. The matrix does not undergo a phase change during the entire process, making it more suitable for applications requiring high material safety, such as automotive batteries. Furthermore, because the matrix material is rubber, which constitutes the majority of the prepared material, the overall flexibility of the material is comparable to that of rubber. In addition, the self-regulating temperature of the conductive composite material can be adjusted by changing the amount of foaming agent.

[0052] 3) The conductivity mechanism of the self-temperature-regulating composite material used in this invention is mainly based on thermal expansion. When the temperature of the composite material is low, the conductive matrix and conductive particles form a three-dimensional network of conductive particles, resulting in low resistance. As the temperature increases, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the conductive matrix is ​​greater than that of the conductive particles, leading to greater thermal expansion of the matrix and a relatively larger distance between the conductive particles. This causes the conductive network to be destroyed, and the resistance gradually increases. When the conductive network is destroyed to a certain extent, the conductive particles are insufficient to form a conductive path, and the resistance increases to a certain value, resulting in an open circuit, thereby achieving the purpose of self-temperature regulation.

[0053] 4) This invention uses a self-regulating temperature-controlled composite material to wrap around the battery pack for insulation and heating. This material does not undergo a phase change during heat generation, making it safer. Simultaneously, a flexible, high-thermal-conductivity film is installed around the battery pack and on top to dissipate heat. This invention places an independent self-regulating temperature-controlled composite material on the outermost layer of the battery pack, utilizing its material property of increasing resistance with temperature to provide an early warning. Utilizing the inherent properties of the self-regulating temperature-controlled composite material, the material resistance increases sharply when the temperature reaches the Curie temperature. Therefore, when the resistance is below the set resistance, the switch is in the open state; when the resistance is above the set resistance, the switch closes, triggering an early warning.

[0054] 5) When the ambient temperature is low, an electric current is applied to one end of the self-regulating temperature composite material to maintain a constant temperature and thus keep the battery pack warm. When the vehicle generates too much heat and the temperature becomes too high during operation, the heat-conducting film promptly and evenly transfers the heat inside the battery to the circulating water pipe. For the heat-conducting film connecting the warning system in the middle of the battery pack, a portion of the heat is transferred to the warning self-regulating temperature composite material for warning purposes, and the remainder is transferred to the circulating water pipe.

[0055] 6) This invention features a simple structure, safe properties, uniform heat dissipation, and uniform heat preservation and heating. Attached Figure Description

[0091] 6) Preparation of flexible high thermal conductivity film: Pour the GO dispersion into the evaporation tank and treat it in the atmosphere of 50-70℃ in the drying oven for 6-8 hours to obtain graphene oxide film; put the graphene oxide film into the hot press mold, transfer it to the high temperature tube furnace under the protection of argon atmosphere at 600-800℃, cool it to room temperature under the argon atmosphere and take it out to obtain flexible high thermal conductivity film.

[0092] When the resistance of the second self-temperature-regulating composite material 2 is lower than the set value, the valve body of the intelligent switch 3 is normally open; when the resistance of the second self-temperature-regulating composite material 2 is higher than the set value, the valve body of the intelligent switch 3 gradually closes until it is completely closed, thereby triggering the warning.

[0093] The flexible high thermal conductivity film 4 is used to dissipate excess heat generated by the battery, preventing localized overheating. Because the thermal conductivity film is only 5-15mm thick and lightweight, its impact on the spacing between battery packs and the overall size of the automotive battery pack is negligible. It can be fixed using methods such as thin-film adhesive coating, mechanical pressing, or riveting. The flexible high thermal conductivity film 4 is tightly installed in contact with the first self-regulating temperature composite material 1, extending its lower end to the circulating water pipe or the early warning self-regulating temperature composite material, with the thermal conductivity film area distributed according to heat distribution.

[0094] The condenser 5 transfers the flexible, high thermal conductivity film 4 to the water cooling in the heat-conducting pipe. The condenser is located in the middle of the pipe to cool the water in the pipe, increase the temperature difference, and accelerate heat conduction.

[0095] Without external interference, water flows in the pipes using potential energy. However, the power provided by the car alone may not be enough to achieve rapid water circulation and may affect heat transfer. Therefore, a pump is added to the process and installed in the middle of the circulating water pipe, adjacent to the car's own water tank. Installing it in this position can provide greater circulation power for the water and promote heat transfer.

[0096] When the vehicle starts and detects that the battery temperature is below 15°C, the heating circuit is closed, and the first self-temperature-controlled composite material 1 begins to heat the battery. At this time, the circulating water circuit is disconnected.

[0097] If the battery temperature is detected to be higher than 42°C during operation, heating will stop. Considering that the battery will continue to generate heat during operation, the heat dissipation intensity needs to be increased. At this time, the circulating water circuit will start running.

After cooling to room temperature under argon atmosphere, the flexible high thermal conductivity film was obtained. The thermal conductivity of the material was tested using a Netzsch LFA447 thermal conductivity meter, and the results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the thermal conductivity of the flexible high thermal conductivity film rGO-1 obtained in this embodiment is 1045 W / (m K); Figure 4The copper sample in the sample is a copper rod with a purity of 99.9%, a diameter of 25.4 mm, and a thermal conductivity of 400 W / (m K).

The graphene oxide film was placed in a self-made hot-pressing mold and transferred to a high-temperature tube furnace under argon atmosphere protection at 700°C. Finally, it was cooled to room temperature under argon atmosphere and removed to obtain the rGO-3 flexible high thermal conductivity film.

[0174] Thermal conductivity was tested using a Netzsch LFA467 PCB from Germany. The results showed that... Figure 4 As shown, the thermal conductivity of the rGO-3 flexible high thermal conductivity film is 775 W / (m K). The flexible thermal conductivity film can be bent arbitrarily to the point of being folded in half, and can be folded continuously 600 times without breaking, and can still be used normally, indicating that the flexible high thermal conductivity film has excellent flexibility.

[0175] according to Figure 1 An integrated component for temperature control and early warning of a new energy vehicle battery pack was constructed. COMSOL software was used to simulate and calculate the battery's heat generation and dissipation at 20°C. The battery, condenser 5, pump 6, and water tank 8 were configured under the same conditions as in Example 1. The first self-regulating temperature composite material 1 has a Curie temperature of 40°C, a material thickness of 3 mm, a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W / (m·K), and a density of 1200 kg / m³. 3 The constant-pressure heat capacity is 1900 J / (kg·K); the Curie temperature of the second self-regulating temperature composite material 2 is 80℃, the thickness is 3 mm, the thermal conductivity is 0.16 W / (m·K), and the density is 1550 kg / m³. 3 The constant pressure heat capacity is 1550 J / (kg·K); the thermal conductivity of the flexible high thermal conductivity film 4 is 775 W / (m·K), the thickness is 12 mm, and the density is 470 kg / m³. 3 The constant-pressure heat capacity is 1510 J / (kg·K). The simulation results are as follows: Figure 11 As shown, compared with the battery temperature rise under natural conditions, the heat preservation and heat conduction measures mentioned in this embodiment are adopted. The heat generated by the battery can be evenly distributed, avoiding excessive local temperature. Moreover, the temperature rises to a maximum of 41.12℃ under stable conditions, which is about 2℃ lower than under natural conditions. This temperature is more conducive to the normal operation of the battery and extends its service life.
