Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a battery charging and discharging technology, and more specifically, to a power battery enclosed cavity heating charging and discharging device and method. Background Art
[0002] During the production and activation process of power batteries, it is necessary to charge and discharge the batteries. During the charging and discharging process, the battery environment needs to be controlled within a stable temperature range, such as 45°C ± 3°C. Currently, the charging and discharging equipment at home and abroad basically places the equipment in a room with environmental control, and controls the temperature of the room to ensure that the temperature in the equipment storage location remains within a stable temperature range. In addition, currently for the temperature control of soft-pack batteries, a contact pressure heating control method is adopted. Although this technology improves the control effect of the battery temperature, on the one hand, the heating plate is in direct contact with the battery, and research shows that there are greater potential risks to the performance of the battery itself. On the other hand, the direct heating of the heating plate only heats the large surface of the battery, resulting in temperature differences in the temperature conduction of the battery itself, and the applicability of this technology to square batteries with a larger thickness is uncertain.
[0003] The traditional method of controlling the temperature in the room cannot guarantee the temperature consistency between the charging and discharging equipment first. The temperature difference can reach about 8°C. Secondly, the temperature stability control of the batteries in a single equipment is poor, and the temperature uniformity is controlled within about ±4°C. And because more than 2 / 3 of the temperature is wasted in unnecessary space in the traditional method, there is a very large energy waste. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the above deficiencies, the present invention provides a power battery enclosed cavity heating charging and discharging device and method. Compared with the traditional temperature control method, the energy consumption is reduced by more than about 20%, the temperature control effect of the battery is improved, the temperature uniformity within the same storage location is improved from ±4°C to within ±2°C, and the overall temperature control consistency is improved more. Compared with the traditional equipment, the temperature difference between the storage locations in the same large environment is reduced from the traditional difference of about 8°C to within 4°C.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A heating, charging and discharging device for a power battery closed cavity, comprising a base, a lifting table, a top seat, a tray, and a heating element. The tray is installed on the lifting table, and heat insulation plates extending upward are installed on the left, right, and rear sides of the lifting table; a door plate extending downward is installed on the front side of the top seat, and the lifting table is arranged to move up and down between the base and the top seat; after the lifting table moves upward in place, the lifting table, the top seat, the door plate, and the three heat insulation plates together enclose a closed cavity, and the heating element heats the closed cavity. A battery clamping assembly is installed on the tray, and a battery is installed on the battery clamping assembly. An ambient temperature detector, a positive electrode contact rod, a negative electrode contact rod, and a battery temperature detection contact rod are installed on the top seat, and the positive electrode contact rod, the negative electrode contact rod, and the battery temperature detection contact rod are respectively in contact with the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the surface of the battery.
[0006] During the charging and discharging operation of the battery, the battery is loaded onto the battery clamping assembly on the tray, and the tray is installed on the lifting table. Then the lifting table is moved upward in place so that the lifting table, the top seat, the door plate, and the three heat insulation plates together enclose a closed cavity; at this time, the positive electrode contact rod, the negative electrode contact rod, and the battery temperature detection contact rod are respectively in contact with the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the surface of the battery. The heating element works to heat, and the ambient temperature inside the closed cavity is detected by the ambient temperature detector. When the temperature reaches the set range, the positive electrode contact rod and the negative electrode contact rod are energized to realize the charging and discharging of the battery; when the battery temperature detected by the battery temperature detection contact rod is abnormal, the lifting table descends and the heating element stops working. After the charging and discharging of the battery is completed, the lifting table moves downward, the tray is removed from the lifting table, and the battery is unloaded from the tray.
[0007] The lifting table, the top seat, the door plate, and the three heat insulation plates together enclose a closed cavity, and the inside of the closed cavity is heated by the heating element to control the temperature inside the closed cavity, without the need to control the temperature of the external large environment, reducing the life loss of external equipment caused by the influence of the ambient temperature. The temperature control in the small environment inside the closed cavity can improve the conventional temperature uniformity from ±4°C to about ±2°C.
[0008] This heating, charging and discharging device for a power battery closed cavity reduces the energy consumption by about 20% or more compared with the traditional temperature control method, improves the temperature control effect of the battery, improves the temperature uniformity within the same storage location from ±4°C to within ±2°C, and improves the overall temperature control consistency more. Compared with the traditional equipment, the temperature difference between storage locations in the same large environment is increased from the traditional about 8°C to within 4°C.

[0011] Preferably, the battery clamping assembly includes a number of positioning edges. The positioning edges are sequentially connected end to end to form a positioning frame. A support bar is provided inside the positioning frame. The bottom of the battery is adaptively installed in the positioning frame and the battery is supported on the support bar.
[0012] The battery is installed stably and reliably in the positioning frame. The support bar supports the battery, making the bottom of the battery suspended, which is beneficial to improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0013] Preferably, positioning holes are provided at the bottom of the tray, and positioning pins are installed on the lifting platform. The positioning pins and the positioning holes are adaptively inserted.
[0014] When the tray is installed, the positioning pins and the positioning holes are adaptively positioned to ensure the precise installation of the tray.
[0015] Preferably, a number of limiting plates are correspondingly installed on the lifting platform and the tray. The limiting plates are sequentially connected end to end to form a limiting frame. The lower part of the tray is installed inside the limiting frame; a support frame is installed inside the limiting frame, and the tray is supported on the support frame.
[0016] The edge of the tray is adapted to the limiting frame, which is beneficial to the stable installation of the tray.
[0017] Preferably, the heating element is installed inside the heat insulation board, and a heating element is installed in each heat insulation board; a heating temperature sensor is installed inside the heat insulation board.
[0018] The heating element installed inside the heat insulation board heats the entire closed cavity, which is beneficial to the temperature uniformity at various positions inside the closed cavity.
[0019] Preferably, heat insulation layers are provided on the outside of the heat insulation board, on the outside of the door panel, on the lower surface of the lifting platform, and on the lower surface of the top seat.

[0020] Preferably, a pressure relief hole is provided on the top seat. A closing plug is connected inside the pressure relief hole, and a pre-tightening spring is installed between the closing plug and the top seat.
[0021] When the temperature inside the closed cavity exceeds the set range, and the ambient temperature detector and the battery temperature detection contact rod fail to detect abnormalities, the pressure inside the closed cavity increases, the closing plug is pushed outwards, and the pressure relief hole is opened to relieve pressure, avoiding excessive pressure inside the closed cavity from damaging the equipment and the battery, and even causing safety accidents.
[0022] Preferably, the top seat is provided with heat dissipation holes, and a one-way intake valve is installed in the heat dissipation holes. The heat dissipation holes are connected to a fan, and a heat dissipation circuit and a power supply circuit are installed on the top seat. The closing plug is connected to a trigger rod.

An insurance push rod and a ventilation push rod are respectively provided on the insurance switch and the ventilation switch. A ratchet pawl is installed on the top seat, and the end of the ratchet pawl is stuck between two adjacent ratchet teeth. As the trigger rod moves outwards along with the closing plug, the two pushing surfaces respectively abut against the insurance push rod and the ventilation push rod, driving the insurance push rod and the ventilation push rod to move, thereby triggering the disconnection of the insurance switch and the conduction of the ventilation switch. The fan blows air into the closed cavity, and the air flow in the closed cavity is discharged outwards from the pressure relief hole.
[0023] When the pressure relief hole is opened for pressure relief, the trigger rod moves outwards. The two pushing surfaces respectively abut against the insurance push rod and the ventilation push rod, driving the insurance push rod and the ventilation push rod to move, thereby triggering the disconnection of the insurance switch and the conduction of the ventilation switch. The heating element, the positive electrode contact rod, and the negative electrode contact rod are powered off, and the fan is powered on and starts to blow air into the closed cavity. The air flow in the closed cavity is discharged outwards from the pressure relief hole to dissipate heat from the closed cavity and accelerate the heat dissipation speed in the closed cavity.

At this time, the positive electrode contact rod, the negative electrode contact rod, and the battery temperature detection contact rod are respectively in contact with the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the surface of the battery.
[0027] S3, The heating element works for heating. The ambient temperature detector detects the ambient temperature in the closed cavity. When the temperature reaches the set range, the positive electrode contact rod and the negative electrode contact rod are powered on to realize the charging and discharging of the battery. When the battery temperature detected by the battery temperature detection contact rod is abnormal, the lifting platform descends and the heating element stops working. When the temperature in the closed cavity exceeds the set range, and the ambient temperature detector and the battery temperature detection contact rod fail to detect abnormalities, the pressure in the closed cavity increases, the closing plug is pushed outwards, the pressure relief hole is opened for pressure relief, and at the same time the trigger rod moves outwards. The two pushing surfaces respectively abut against the insurance push rod and the ventilation push rod, driving the insurance push rod and the ventilation push rod to move, thereby triggering the disconnection of the insurance switch and the conduction of the ventilation switch. The heating element, the positive electrode contact rod, and the negative electrode contact rod are powered off, and the fan is powered on and starts to blow air into the closed cavity. The air flow in the closed cavity is discharged outwards from the pressure relief hole to dissipate heat from the closed cavity.
[0028] After the charging and discharging of the battery are completed at S4, the lifting platform moves downward, removes the tray from the lifting platform, and unloads the battery from the tray.
[0029] The charging and discharging operation of the power battery is carried out in a closed cavity, isolated from the external environment, which is beneficial to reducing energy consumption and has good temperature consistency at each position.
