Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to an ultrasonic-based device and method for measuring the specific heat capacity of a battery. Background Art
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries, with their numerous advantages, including high energy density, long life, and lack of memory effect, are widely used in electric vehicle powertrains. Temperature is a critical battery condition that influences energy efficiency, aging rate, and safety. Excessively high temperatures can lead to a series of phenomena, including decomposition of the solid electrolyte interface film, anode-electrolyte reactions, and separator melting, ultimately causing thermal runaway. Low temperatures can affect battery energy efficiency, and high-rate charging at low temperatures can cause lithium deposition, directly impacting battery life and safety. Therefore, to maintain optimal performance, lithium-ion batteries must maintain a temperature between 15°C and 35°C. To this end, researchers typically apply battery thermal models to predict and control temperature. In these models, the specific heat capacity of the battery is a crucial parameter, directly influencing the temperature changes caused by the absorption and release of heat by the battery.
[0003] There are two main methods for measuring specific heat capacity: (1) Accelerated adiabatic calorimetry: Using a heating plate to heat the battery to be tested, the temperature of the inner wall of the accelerated adiabatic calorimeter tracks the temperature of the battery surface to create an approximately adiabatic environment; Based on the heating power of the heating plate and the temperature rise of the battery to be tested, the specific heat capacity of the battery to be tested is calculated using the ideal relationship between temperature rise and specific heat capacity; the disadvantage of this method is high cost. (2) Differential scanning calorimetry: This method places the sample to be tested and a reference material of known specific heat capacity in the same environment, and calculates the specific heat capacity of the sample to be tested based on the heat difference required to reach the same temperature; the disadvantage of this method is that it has strict requirements on the dosage of the sample to be tested, and is not suitable for measuring the specific heat capacity of batteries. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new method for measuring the specific heat capacity of batteries. Summary of the Invention

[0051] The working mode is: the ultrasonic sensor 1 excites and receives the ultrasonic signal passing through the battery 2, and communicates the collected signal to the microcontroller chip 3, and the microcontroller chip 3 calculates and stores the flight time offset.
[0052] Specifically, the ultrasonic sensor 1 depends on the specific measurement method; for transmitted wave measurement, the ultrasonic sensor 1 includes a pair of ultrasonic pulse transmitting probes and an ultrasonic pulse receiving probe, which are respectively fixed at the same position on the opposite sides of the battery 2; for reflected wave measurement, the ultrasonic sensor 1 includes an ultrasonic pulse transmitting / receiving probe, which is fixed at any position on the surface of the battery 2; for guided wave measurement, the ultrasonic sensor 1 includes a pair of ultrasonic pulse transmitting probes and an ultrasonic pulse receiving probe, which are respectively fixed at both ends of the same surface of the battery 2.

Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, the ultrasonic signal measured earlier by battery 2 is selected as the reference signal; then, a time offset is applied to the other signals relative to the reference signal, and the amplitude correlation between the reference signal and the offset signal is calculated using the following formula:
[0055]

[0069] S303. Repeat sub-step S302 several times to achieve AC pulse heating of the battery;
[0070] S304 . If the flight time offset remains constant for a period of time, stop AC pulse heating and allow the battery to cool to ambient temperature.
[0071] S4. Map the flight time offset during the AC pulse heating-cooling phase to the battery temperature using a fitting relationship, and calculate the specific heat capacity of the battery based on the energy conservation equation.
[0072] S401. During the AC pulse heating-cooling phase, the temperature change relative to the ambient temperature is calculated as follows:
[0073]
[0074] Where ΔTOF1 is the time-of-flight offset of the ultrasonic signal relative to the temperature equilibrium, and k is the rate of change of the time-of-flight offset with temperature (for fitting formula (7), k = a1); the battery temperature is obtained by adding the temperature change to the ambient temperature;
[0075] S402. During the constant flight time offset phase of AC pulse heating, the heat generated by the battery is equal to the heat dissipated. The external heat transfer thermal resistance of the battery is calculated as follows:

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, lithium manganese oxide soft-pack batteries are used as experimental objects, and reflected wave measurement is selected as the ultrasonic measurement method. An ultrasonic pulse transmitting / receiving probe is fixed at the center of the battery surface; the measuring device is placed in a constant temperature box, and the lithium-ion battery is connected to the voltage acquisition line and power supply line of the charger and discharger. Figure 4As shown in the figure, the relationship between the battery temperature of 0-50°C and the flight time offset is fitted at intervals of 25% from battery SOC=0 to SOC=100%. The fitting coefficient a1 of the flight time offset and temperature is almost unaffected by the battery SOC, so this embodiment takes the average value of a1 under different SOCs as the basis for measuring temperature, and the average value of a1 is 0.0341. This application can realize the measurement of specific heat capacity of batteries at any SOC and any temperature. Figure 5 As shown, the flight time offset of the AC pulse heating-cooling process at SOC = 50% and temperature of 25°C is mapped to temperature; compared with the specific heat capacity result of the accelerating adiabatic calorimeter, its maximum error does not exceed 6%.
[0085] In summary, the present invention proposes an ultrasonic-based device and method for measuring the specific heat capacity of a battery. An ultrasonic sensor is mounted on the surface of the battery, and the time-of-flight offset is calculated based on the collected ultrasonic signal. The relationship between the battery temperature and the time-of-flight offset is calibrated, and the specific heat capacity is calculated by applying the law of conservation of energy to the battery's AC pulse heating and cooling process. This process for calculating the specific heat capacity of a battery essentially utilizes the fact that the time-of-flight of ultrasound waves is sensitive to the internal temperature of the battery, reducing the application requirements of lumped parameter models. The method overcomes the shortcomings of traditional methods for measuring specific heat capacity and has significant practical value.
