Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a battery thermal insulation device and method, and particularly to a cold and heat automatic control device and method for a mobile industrial power supply. Background Art
[0002] The usage environment of industrial power supplies is usually relatively harsh. For lithium iron phosphate batteries, the external environmental temperature for battery operation is required to be between 0°C and 55°C, and the discharge operating temperature range is between -20°C and 60°C. Excessive or too low temperature will affect the battery performance and even cause permanent damage to the battery, which limits the use of batteries in extreme environments, especially in application scenarios with high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter.
[0003] The existing industrial power supply devices cannot balance the functions of winter heat preservation and summer heat dissipation. In addition, on the one hand, the current renewable energy power generation is developing rapidly. Taking the photovoltaic and wind power generation power stations in the northwest desert as an example, to ensure the stability of renewable energy power supply, a certain capacity of energy storage devices needs to be configured. However, due to the huge temperature differences between day and night / winter and summer, the actual usable capacity and life of the batteries are greatly reduced; on the other hand, for construction in areas with large temperature differences between day and night / winter and summer, due to the high cost of temporary power, mobile industrial power supplies need to be used for power supply, but the mobile industrial power supplies also have the above problems during actual use. Therefore, there is a need to provide a cold and heat automatic control device and method for a mobile industrial power supply that can balance the functions of winter heat preservation and summer heat dissipation and ensure the actual usable capacity and life of the battery in extreme weather.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0040] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0041] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , a hot and cold automatic control device for a mobile industrial power supply, comprising a device box body 11, a heat preservation and heat dissipation component, a heat pipe cooling component, an auxiliary heating system 14, a ventilation component and a central controller 44; the battery pack 41 is arranged inside the device box body 11, and several groups of heat pipe cooling components are respectively and spacedly embedded on the box wall of the device box body 11, and one end of the heat pipe cooling component is located inside the device box body 11, and the other end of the heat pipe cooling component penetrates to the outside of the device box body 11; the auxiliary heating system 14 is arranged on the inner wall of the heat preservation and heat dissipation component, and the ventilation component is installed on the box wall of the device box body 11; the central controller 44 is arranged inside the device box body 11 and is electrically connected to the battery pack 41, and the output end of the central controller 44 is electrically connected to the heat preservation and heat dissipation component, the heat pipe cooling component, the auxiliary heating system 14 and the ventilation component.
[0042] Preferably, the auxiliary heating system 14 can adopt a semiconductor heating film, and the surface temperature of the semiconductor heating film is less than 34°C. The device box body 11 is heated by an electric heating method, which can ensure that the environmental temperature inside the device box body 11 meets the charging and discharging requirements of the battery pack 41 in extremely cold conditions.
[0043] The thermal insulation and heat dissipation component can provide thermal insulation and heat dissipation functions for the device box body 11, and the heat pipe cooling component and the ventilation component can provide further heat dissipation functions for the device box body 11. The central controller 44 can adopt a computer control chip, a PLC controller, etc. of the existing technology, and control the on and off of the thermal insulation and heat dissipation component, the heat pipe cooling component, the auxiliary heating system 14 and the ventilation component through a logic program, so as to realize the heat dissipation and thermal insulation heating functions in the device box body 11, and further enable the battery pack 41 to always operate in a safe and efficient ambient temperature, which is beneficial to improving the charge and discharge efficiency and service life of the battery pack 41, and expanding the applicable scenarios of the battery pack 41 of the mobile industrial power supply.
[0044] The described thermal insulation and heat dissipation component includes a thermal insulation layer 12 and a heat dissipation mechanism; the thermal insulation layer 12 is attached to the inner wall of the device box body 11, and a gap 13 is formed inside the thermal insulation layer 12; the heat dissipation mechanism is arranged in the device box body 11, and the output end of the heat dissipation mechanism is communicated with the gap 13.
[0045] Preferably, the thermal insulation layer 12 can be made of rubber and plastic thermal insulation material and attached to the inner wall of the device box body 11 to play a good role in thermal insulation.
[0046] The described heat dissipation mechanism includes a circulation pump 31, a water tank 32, a pipeline 34 and a water distribution pipe 35; the water tank 32 is placed on the inner bottom surface of the device box body 11, and the water tank 32 is filled with clear water 33; one end of the pipeline 34 is inserted below the water surface in the water tank 32, and the other end of the pipeline 34 extends to the top of the device box body 11 and is communicated with the gap 13 through a plurality of water distribution pipes 35; the circulation pump 31 is arranged on the pipeline 34, and the circulation pump 31 is electrically connected to the central controller 44.
[0047] When working in a low-temperature environment in winter, keep the inside of the thermal insulation layer 12 dry, reduce the heat transfer coefficient, and enhance the thermal insulation effect. When working in a high-temperature environment in summer, use the circulation pump 31 to transport the clear water 33 in the water tank 32 to the water distribution pipe 35 at the top of the device box body 11 through the pipeline 34, and fully infiltrate the thermal insulation layer 12 made of rubber and plastic thermal insulation material along the gap 13 to increase the heat transfer coefficient of the thermal insulation layer 12 and enhance the heat dissipation effect.
[0048] Preferably, the water tank 32 is a closed water tank to prevent the clear water 33 from spilling and affecting the operation safety of the battery pack 41. The capacity of the water tank 32 can be determined according to the infiltration area of the thermal insulation layer 12. The circulation pump 31 can adopt a micro water pump for pumping the clear water 33 in the water tank 32 to the water distribution pipe 35 at the top of the device box body 11.
[0049] The described heat pipe cooling component includes a heat pipe 21, a vaporizing cooling solution 22, and a shut-off valve 23; both ends of the heat pipe 21 are closed, the heat pipe 21 is obliquely installed in the box wall of the device box 11, both ends of the heat pipe 21 are respectively located inside and outside the device box 11, and the outer end of the heat pipe 21 is higher than the inner end; the vaporizing cooling solution 22 is arranged inside the heat pipe 21, and the vaporization temperature of the vaporizing cooling solution 22 is within the charge and discharge operating temperature range of the battery pack 41; the shut-off valve 23 is arranged on the heat pipe 21 and is located inside the device box 11, the shut-off valve 23 is electrically connected to the central controller 44, and when the vaporizing cooling solution 22 is in a liquid state, it is enclosed inside the device box 11 through the shut-off valve 23, and when the vaporizing cooling solution 22 is in a gaseous state, it fills the entire heat pipe 21.
[0050] Preferably, the vaporizing cooling solution 22 can adopt a mixed solution with a boiling point of 30°C to 35°C under negative pressure. When the device works in a high-temperature environment in summer, the shut-off valve 23 is opened. When the internal temperature of the heat pipe 21 is greater than the boiling point temperature, such as 30°C, the vaporizing cooling solution 22 vaporizes into a gas and fills the entire space of the heat pipe 21. The end of the heat pipe 21 located outside the device box 11 exchanges heat with the outdoor air, causing the gas to condense into a liquid, and then flowing down along the inner wall of the heat pipe 21 back to the end of the heat pipe 21 located inside the device box 11; repeating this cycle can achieve zero-energy consumption and rapid heat dissipation inside and outside the device box 11. When the device works in a low-temperature environment in winter, on the one hand, the temperature is relatively low, and the mixed solution 22 cannot vaporize, resulting in a greatly reduced heat exchange efficiency. On the other hand, the shut-off valve 23 is closed to cut off the gas convection inside and outside the device box 11, thereby minimizing the heat loss inside the device box 11 to the greatest extent.
[0051] The described ventilation component includes a ventilation opening 61 and a ventilator 62; the ventilation opening 61 is installed at the bottom of the device box 11, the ventilator 62 is installed at the top of the device box 11, the ventilation opening 61 and the ventilator 62 are located beside the battery pack 41, and form a mechanical ventilation mode of bottom air intake and top air exhaust; air valves are installed inside the ventilation opening 61 and the ventilator 62, and the air valves, the ventilation opening 61, and the ventilator 62 are electrically connected to the central controller 44.
[0052] Through the ventilation opening 61 at the bottom and the ventilator 62 at the top, a mechanical ventilation mode of bottom air intake and top air exhaust is realized. The air valves, the ventilation opening 61, and the ventilator 62 are synchronously opened and closed under the control of the central controller 44, so as to quickly ventilate and cool the inside of the device box 11 and ensure the safe operation of the battery pack 41.
[0053] A fire extinguishing device 42 is arranged inside the device box 11, and the fire extinguishing device 42 is located above the battery pack 41 and is electrically connected to the central controller 44.
[0054] Preferably, the fire extinguishing device 42 can adopt an existing foam fire extinguisher, etc. After being started, it can extinguish the fire and cool down the battery pack 41 to prevent the battery pack 41 from catching fire and burning.

[0070] Step 12: The central controller 44 determines whether the average value Te is greater than or equal to the highest temperature threshold, i.e., Te ≥ 35°C. If so, step 13 is executed; if not, step 11 is executed.
[0071] Step 13: The central controller 44 determines one by one whether the internal temperature Te' of the battery collected by all the first sensors is greater than the extreme temperature threshold, i.e., Te > 65°C. If any internal temperature Te of the battery is greater than the extreme temperature threshold, the central controller 44 controls the fire extinguishing device 42 to start and ends the cold and heat automatic control process; otherwise, step 14 is executed.
[0072] Step 14: The central controller 44 opens the shut-off valve 23 of the heat pipe cooling component, opens the ventilation opening 61 and the ventilator 62 of the ventilation component, starts the circulation pump 31 of the heat dissipation mechanism in the heat preservation and heat dissipation component, closes the auxiliary heating system 14, and returns to Step 2.
[0073] Step 15: The central controller 44 determines whether the average value Te exceeds the discharge temperature range, that is, Te ≤ 15°C or Te ≥ 35°C. If so, Step 16 is executed; if not, Step 9 is executed.

[0076] Preferably, the period T can be set to 1 minute, or other time lengths can be selected according to actual control requirements.

Taking the temperature range under the charge and discharge state of the battery pack 41 as the primary comparison object and the internal temperature Tn of the device box 11 of the device as the secondary comparison object, it sets the temperature range and threshold for starting / turning off different cooling / heating measures, and according to the relative relationship between the internal temperature Te of the battery and the temperature limit, and the relative relationship between the internal temperature Tn of the device box and the temperature limit, it turns on different heating / cooling measures to maintain the battery pack 41 working in the most suitable temperature range with the smallest energy consumption ratio, extend the use environment of the battery pack 41, and increase the service life of the battery pack 41.
[0080] The energy consumption ratio refers to the proportion of the electric energy used for the cold and heat automatic control device in the entire battery device in a typical cycle to the battery capacity, which is defined as EPUE = CC / ((CC - q)).
