[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] Currently, the welding slag of battery modules is often detected by breakdown voltage. However, the inventors have found that before the battery module is tested, it is impossible to know what breakdown voltage to use for the detection operation; because if the breakdown voltage used is too small, the welding slag cannot be accurately detected; if the breakdown voltage used is too large, it will damage the devices in the battery module.

[0040] Different battery modules have different welding slag detection standards. For example, a battery module of model A is allowed to have welding slag less than 2 mm, while a battery module of model B is only allowed to have welding slag less than 1 mm, and so on.

[0041] Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of battery applications, it is necessary to conduct welding slag tests with different breakdown strengths for different types of battery modules in accordance with the standards.

[0042] Based on this, the embodiments of the present invention provide a method, device, and electronic device for detecting welding slag of a battery module, which alleviate the above-mentioned technical problem of not being able to simultaneously consider battery safety and accurate detection of welding slag.

[0043] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a welding slag detection method for a battery module disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail. This method can be applied to intelligent control devices such as battery management systems, battery control systems, and host computers.

[0044] Figure 1 A flow chart of a welding slag detection method for a battery module provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0046] Step S102 : constructing a simulation device for simulating a process of performing breakdown detection on welding slag of a battery module.

[0047] The simulation device includes a metal rod 3, a first metal plate 1 and a second metal plate 2; the metal rod 3 is energized / connected to an external current to simulate a preset breakdown voltage applied to the battery module, and the first metal plate 1 and the second metal plate 2 are used to represent the battery planes parallel to each other between the battery modules. Figure 2 shown.

[0048] It should be noted that the battery plane is simulated by the first metal plate 1 and the second metal plate 2, and the voltage is applied to the metal rod 3 and transmitted to the second metal plate 2. The second metal plate 2 can be understood as the battery module of the weld slag to be measured in actual applications; the simulation device can realize the simulation process of applying breakdown voltage to the battery module without the participation of the module, and determining the critical value of breakdown voltage corresponding to different weld slag sizes.

[0049] Step S104 : constructing a fitting formula for a critical breakdown voltage value according to different mapping combinations of the distance between the metal rod and the second metal plate and the diameter of the metal rod.

[0050] Based on a plurality of mapping combinations of spacing and diameter, a fitting formula for spacing, diameter and breakdown voltage threshold is constructed. The mapping combination can be preset, and the spacing and diameter are adjusted according to the preset mapping combination.

[0051] Step S106 , determining the breakdown voltage of the current battery module for detecting welding slag according to a fitting formula of the breakdown voltage critical value.

[0052] Among them, according to the fitting formula, the breakdown voltage for welding slag detection applicable to the current battery module can be calculated.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment of practical application, based on the characteristics of battery module welding slag detection, two metal plates simulate the battery plane between the battery modules, and a metal rod is energized / external current is used to simulate the preset breakdown voltage applied to the battery module to construct a simulation device; according to the distance between the metal rod and the second metal plate and the diameter of the metal rod in the simulation device, a fitting formula for the critical value of the breakdown voltage is determined, and based on the fitting formula, the breakdown voltage value required for the current battery module to accurately detect welding slag is obtained, thereby achieving accurate detection of welding slag while ensuring the safety of the battery module.

[0054] In some embodiments, according to the characteristics of battery module welding slag detection, a simulation device capable of simulating the detection process is constructed, such as Figure 2 As shown; Based on the simulation device, a relatively simple welding slag detection is achieved without the participation of the battery module. Step S102 can be achieved by the following steps, including:

[0055] Step 1.1) The first metal plate 1 and the second metal plate 2 are arranged in parallel to simulate the battery module.

[0056] In order to obtain a more accurate welding slag detection method, the embodiment of the present invention considers the influence of the capacitance generated between battery planes on welding detection and uses two parallel metal plates to simulate the battery planes between battery modules.

[0057] Step 1.2) The metal rod 3 is respectively perpendicular to the first metal plate 1 and the second metal plate 2 and fixedly connected to the first metal plate.

[0058] The metal rod 3 can be fixedly connected to the first metal plate 1 in a cross shape through a bakelite fixture, and the distance between the metal rod 3 and the second metal plate 2 is the spacing mentioned in the above embodiment.

[0059] In practice, the metal rod 3 is replaceable. Therefore, the Bakelite fixture is detachably connected to the metal rod 3, allowing metal rods 3 of varying diameters to be secured to the first metal plate 1 using the Bakelite fixture. It should be noted that the first metal plate 1, the second metal plate 2, and the metal rod 3 can be made of the same metal material as the battery module, preferably aluminum. The dimensions of both the first metal plate 1 and the second metal plate 2 can be set to 27*148*90 mm. The second metal plate 2 also has an insulating layer 4 on its surface.

[0060] In some embodiments, the simulation device further comprises a withstand voltage tester ( Figure 2 (not shown), the voltage tester can connect its positive electrode to the first metal plate through an electric wire, and connect the negative electrode of the voltage tester to the second metal plate, so as to provide the metal rod with a preset breakdown voltage applied to the battery module.

[0061] The breakdown voltage is provided by the metal rod through the withstand voltage tester, and the second metal plate represents the battery module of the weld slag to be tested. The preset breakdown voltage can be understood as a number of pre-set voltage values. The preset breakdown voltage is combined with different spacing and diameters to detect the arc discharge point through the withstand voltage tester; for example, the preset breakdown voltage may include 2000 volts.

[0062] In some embodiments, the distance between the metal rod and the second metal plate is used to characterize the thickness of the welding slag, and the diameter of the metal rod is used to characterize the width of the welding slag.

[0063] It can be understood that based on the above characteristics, a simulation device is constructed to simulate the welding slag detection process without the participation of the battery module, so that the welding slag that meets the standard size of the battery module can be detected through a suitable breakdown voltage.

[0064] In some embodiments, a fitting formula may be constructed based on a mapping relationship between the distance between the metal rod and the second metal plate, the diameter of the metal rod, and the breakdown voltage threshold, so that a suitable welding slag detection breakdown voltage for any model of battery module can be determined based on the fitting formula. For example, step S104 may include:

[0065] Step 2.1) Adjust the distance between the metal rod and the second metal plate or adjust the diameter of the metal rod to obtain different mapping combinations.

[0066] Among them, several spacing values ​​and multiple diameter values ​​can be pre-set, and each spacing and each diameter can be mapped into corresponding combinations according to the table, and the spacing between the metal rod and the second metal plate or the diameter of the metal rod itself can be adjusted according to the mapping combination.

[0067] For example, the current spacing d between the metal rod and the second metal plate is 1, and the diameter r of the metal rod is 1; the mapping combination to be adjusted is: the spacing d between the metal rod and the second metal plate is 0.5, and the diameter r of the metal rod is 1. At this time, the metal rod needs to be moved closer to the second metal plate so that the spacing between the two is reduced to 0.5; for another example, the mapping combination to be adjusted is: the spacing d between the metal rod and the second metal plate is 1, and the diameter r of the metal rod is 2. At this time, the metal rod needs to be replaced with a metal rod with a diameter of 2 to be fixed to the first metal plate.

[0068] Step 2.2) performing a breakdown test on the second metal plate according to a preset breakdown voltage to determine the breakdown voltage critical values ​​corresponding to the different mapping combinations.

[0069] Among them, during the detection process, the arc discharge point can be detected according to the preset breakdown voltage applied to the metal rod by the voltage tester and the action of different mapping combinations. If the voltage tester queries the arc discharge point, the mapping combination parameters and the preset breakdown voltage at this time are recorded, and the preset breakdown voltage is used as the breakdown voltage critical value.

[0070] It should be noted that each preset breakdown voltage is matched with each mapping combination so that the withstand voltage tester can find the arc discharge point.

[0071] In step 2.3), a breakdown voltage critical value fitting formula is constructed based on the breakdown voltage critical value corresponding to each mapping combination.

[0072] Among them, according to the least squares method, the breakdown voltage critical value of the arc discharge point and the corresponding mapping combination are found, and a breakdown voltage critical value fitting formula is constructed. The fitting formula can characterize the corresponding breakdown voltage critical value under different mapping combination conditions (i.e., different slag size conditions).

[0073] In some embodiments, the breakdown voltage required for battery modules of different models and standards can be obtained according to the fitting formula determined in the aforementioned embodiment. That is, based on the breakdown voltage, the welding slag required by the standard can be accurately detected without using an excessively large breakdown voltage to cause damage to the battery device. For example, the aforementioned step S106 can also be implemented by the following steps, including:

[0074] Step 3.1) Obtain the welding slag size standard corresponding to the current battery module.

[0075] The welding slag size standard includes thickness and width.

[0076] Step 3.2) Input the thickness dimension and the width dimension into the fitting formula of the breakdown voltage critical value to determine the breakdown voltage of the current battery module.

[0077] At this time, the breakdown voltage matches the model standard of the current battery module, which can accurately detect the welding slag according to the size standard while ensuring the reliability of the battery device.

[0078] Step 3.3) The current battery module is tested according to the breakdown voltage, and the detected welding slag is removed.

[0079] The detected welding slag can be cleaned with corresponding cleaning force according to the size of the welding slag to avoid damaging other components of the battery.

[0080] The embodiment of the present invention can obtain the breakdown voltage required by the battery during the voltage withstand process through the above method, and can detect insulation abnormalities caused by welding slag of the battery without causing damage to the battery components.

[0081] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a welding slag detection device 200 for a battery module, the device comprising:

[0082] A first construction module 201 constructs a simulation device for simulating a process of performing breakdown detection on welding slag of a battery module, wherein the simulation device comprises a metal rod, a first metal plate, and a second metal plate; the metal rod is energized / connected to an external current to simulate a preset breakdown voltage applied to the battery module, and the first metal plate and the second metal plate are used to represent parallel battery planes between the battery modules;
