Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention discloses a battery system, an airtightness monitoring method, a device, a terminal, and a storage medium, belonging to the field of electric vehicle technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, the safety of power batteries, which serve as the energy storage and output units for electric vehicles, is receiving increasing attention. During the battery's lifespan, if gases, liquids, or solids from outside the battery pack enter the pack, the battery's safety cannot be guaranteed, potentially seriously endangering the lives of passengers. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the airtightness of the battery pack and to promptly report a "battery pack airtightness failure" warning signal when the airtightness is substandard.

[0003] As a factor affecting battery safety, the airtightness of power batteries has attracted much attention, and research on its monitoring methods has been ongoing. Currently, the airtightness of battery packs is monitored by increasing the internal air pressure through a built-in air pressure detection module and monitoring changes in that pressure. This module activates upon receiving an external excitation signal, increasing the internal air pressure, and a pressure sensor detects any abnormalities to determine if the battery pack's airtightness is up to standard. However, this method cannot provide real-time monitoring of battery pack airtightness. Furthermore, increased internal pressure can cause the pressure relief valve to open unexpectedly, affecting the accuracy of airtightness measurements. Additionally, this method requires a pre-installed air pump within the battery pack, which reduces the battery pack's energy density and impacts the vehicle's driving range. Summary of the Invention

The execution module and the high-voltage transmission module are electrically connected to the battery module, and the execution module is electrically connected to the real-time airtightness monitoring device, the high-voltage transmission module, and the battery control module. The execution module can be in an open state and a closed state. The battery module consists of N battery cells.

[0060] The high-voltage connection module connects the cells in series and parallel and the execution module in series to form a high-voltage circuit for the battery pack. It is then connected to the external load of the battery pack through the high-voltage transmission module to provide the required power output to the external load. The signal acquisition module and the execution module are connected to the battery control module through the low-voltage connection module. The battery control module is also connected to the vehicle control module outside the battery pack through the low-voltage transmission module. The battery control module can communicate with the vehicle control module outside the battery pack based on the signals acquired by the signal acquisition module. The battery control module can also control the opening and closing of the high-voltage circuit by adjusting the state of the execution module. The airtightness real-time monitoring device can monitor the airtightness inside the battery pack in real time.

It is pre-set in the vehicle environment outside the battery pack and connected to the inside of the battery pack through connecting pipes.

The working flow rate Δs of the air pressure regulation module is required not to affect the safety of the battery pack, meet the requirements of battery pack airtightness monitoring, and minimize the power consumption of the air pressure regulation module. Δs can be obtained through actual engineering calibration methods, model prediction, and simulation calculation.

[0063] The air pressure acquisition module and the air pressure control module are located inside the battery pack. The air pressure acquisition module is used to acquire the air pressure value inside the battery pack. This module consists of M sampling units inside the battery pack and is connected to the air pressure control module through a data transmission harness.

[0064] The terminal is used to adjust the working status of the air pressure regulation module and to monitor the air tightness of the battery pack in real time. The working status of the real-time battery pack air tightness monitoring device is defined as follows: after the vehicle completes high-voltage power-on, the air pressure regulation module starts working and adjusts its working status according to the terminal instructions. When the air pressure regulation module is working, the gas inside the battery pack is drawn to the outside of the battery pack, reducing the air pressure inside the battery pack. After the vehicle's high-voltage power-off, the air pressure regulation module stops working.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] This invention provides an airtightness monitoring method, which is implemented by a terminal, the terminal including at least a CPU, etc. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S101: Upon receiving the air tightness detection start signal, control the air pressure acquisition module to acquire the initial air pressure value of the battery pack.

[0068] When the vehicle is powered on, upon receiving the air tightness detection start signal, the terminal controls the air pressure acquisition module to obtain the initial air pressure value of the battery pack, and then performs an air tightness test on the battery pack.

[0069] Step S102: When the pressure inside the battery pack is adjusted to the preset pressure value, determine the relationship curve between the adjustment time period and the real-time air pressure, and determine the airtightness of the battery pack according to the battery pack airtightness threshold curve. The specific content is as follows:

[0070] The battery pack airtightness threshold curve is divided into three stages, obtained through actual engineering calibration. The three calibration curves are stored in the terminal. 预设1 and P 预设2 The airtightness threshold curves of the battery pack in stages 1, 2, and 3 can be obtained through actual engineering calibration methods, model prediction, and simulation calculations, according to P. 预设曲线1 +n×(P 预设曲线2 +P 预设曲线3 By stitching together the time sequences, a complete airtightness threshold curve can be obtained. n is positively correlated with the vehicle's operating time. The stitched battery pack airtightness threshold curve is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0071] Retrieve the first-stage battery pack airtightness threshold curve P 预设曲线1 The first-stage battery pack airtightness threshold curve P1 is specifically represented as follows:

[0072]

[0073] Wherein, P1 is the current pressure threshold value in the first segment of the battery pack, △S is the flow rate of the air pressure regulation module, △M is the flow rate of the battery pack's natural air leakage, ρ is the air density, V is the volume of air that can be arranged in the battery pack, t1 is the adjustment time, and P0 is the initial air pressure value.

[0074] Find the value P in the curve that is equal to the air pressure P inside the battery pack at this moment, according to the time sequence. start ,like Figure 5 As shown, this point is used as the starting point for comparing the battery pack airtightness threshold curve with the measured battery pack air pressure curve. The air pressure regulation module starts working at a flow rate Δs, and the air pressure acquisition module monitors the air pressure value inside the battery pack in real time, adjusting the pressure inside the battery pack to the first preset pressure value P. 预设1 The curve showing the relationship between the first adjustment period and real-time air pressure was determined.

[0075] By comparing the curve showing the relationship between the first adjustment period and real-time air pressure with the curve showing the airtightness threshold of the battery pack in the first stage from the initial air pressure value to the first preset pressure value, it is determined whether the slope of the curve showing the relationship between the first adjustment period and real-time air pressure is less than that of the curve P1 showing the airtightness threshold of the battery pack in the first stage.

[0076] Yes, the battery pack airtightness is qualified; proceed to the next step.

[0077] No, if the battery pack airtightness fails, a "Battery pack airtightness fails" signal will be reported and monitoring will stop.

[0078] When the air pressure inside the battery pack equals P 预设1 When the pressure regulation module stops working, it remains stationary within a preset detection time period. The relationship curve between the second regulation time period and the real-time pressure is determined by acquiring the pressure from the first preset pressure value to the second preset pressure value within that detection time period. Figure 6 As shown;

[0079] Retrieve the second-stage battery pack airtightness threshold curve P 预设曲线2 The second-stage battery pack airtightness threshold curve P2 is specifically represented as follows:

[0080]

[0081] Where: P2 is the threshold value of the current battery pack pressure in the second segment, P 预设1 This is the first preset pressure value.

[0082] By comparing the curve of the relationship between the second adjustment time period and real-time air pressure with the curve of the air tightness threshold of the battery pack in the second stage, it is determined whether the slope of the curve of the relationship between the second adjustment time period and real-time air pressure is less than that of the curve P2 of the air tightness threshold of the battery pack in the second stage:

[0083] Yes, the battery pack airtightness is qualified; proceed to the next step.

[0084] No, if the battery pack airtightness fails, a "Battery pack airtightness fails" signal will be reported and monitoring will stop.

[0085] When the air pressure inside the battery pack P equals P 预设2 At that time, the air pressure regulation module continues to work at a flow rate Δs. When the air pressure regulation module adjusts the pressure inside the battery pack to the first preset pressure value, the relationship curve between the third adjustment time period and the real-time air pressure is determined, such as... Figure 7 As shown;

[0086] Retrieve the second-stage battery pack airtightness threshold curve P 预设曲线3 The third-stage battery pack airtightness threshold curve P3 is specifically represented as follows:

[0087]

[0088] Where: P3 is the threshold value of the current battery pack pressure in the third segment, P 预设2 This is the second preset pressure value.

[0089] By comparing the curve showing the relationship between the third adjustment time period and real-time air pressure with the third-stage battery pack airtightness threshold curve P3 in the corresponding segment from the second preset pressure value to the first preset pressure value, it can be determined whether the slope of the curve showing the relationship between the third adjustment time period and real-time air pressure is less than that of the third-stage battery pack airtightness threshold curve P3.

[0090] Yes, if the battery pack airtightness is qualified and the vehicle continues to run, it will be placed still within the preset detection period. When the first preset pressure value to the second preset pressure value of the air pressure acquisition module is obtained within the detection period, the relationship curve between the second adjustment period and the real-time air pressure is determined. The battery pack airtightness monitoring work of the second stage and the third stage is repeated in sequence. When the vehicle is turned off at any time, the battery pack airtightness monitoring work will stop immediately. When the vehicle is restarted, the battery pack air pressure value measurement and airtightness monitoring work will start again from the first stage.

[0091] No, if the battery pack airtightness fails, a "battery pack airtightness fails" signal will be reported and monitoring will stop.

[0092] Example 3

[0093] In an exemplary embodiment, an airtightness monitoring device is also provided, such as Figure 8 As shown, it includes:

[0094] The acquisition module 210 is used to control the air pressure acquisition module to acquire the initial air pressure value of the battery pack when it receives the air tightness detection start signal;

[0095] The judgment module 220 is used to determine the relationship curve between the adjustment time period and the real-time air pressure when the pressure inside the battery pack is adjusted to the preset pressure value, and to determine the airtightness of the battery pack according to the airtightness threshold curve of the battery pack.

[0096] When the vehicle is powered on, the air pressure regulating module of this invention maintains an intermittent working state to keep the air pressure in the battery pack at a level lower than atmospheric pressure. The air pressure is monitored in real time by a pre-installed air pressure acquisition module inside the pack to determine whether the air tightness of the battery pack meets the requirements. This method will not cause the battery pack pressure relief valve to open unexpectedly. At the same time, placing the air pressure regulating module that reduces the pressure in the battery pack outside the battery pack can increase the energy density of the battery pack.
