Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery testing technology, and in particular to methods, devices, electronic equipment and storage media for detecting abnormal battery self-discharge. Background Technology

[0002] As the energy density of battery cells increases, safety issues in the new energy industry are becoming increasingly prominent. The most significant hazard to electric vehicles / energy storage systems is battery thermal runaway. The root causes of battery thermal runaway are primarily internal and external short circuits within the battery cell. This is mainly characterized by the dissolution of the SEI film on the negative electrode, leading to an exothermic reaction between the negative electrode and its components with the electrolyte. This causes a rapid rise in internal temperature, subsequently resulting in cell fire and explosion. Therefore, preventing battery thermal runaway is both a key focus and a major challenge for the electric vehicle / energy storage industry.

[0003] Currently, under the operating conditions of vehicle / energy storage systems, battery management systems can monitor battery status in real time, and various manufacturers are also monitoring battery voltage differential and its increasing trend. However, current vehicle / energy storage systems have battery balancing functions. When the cell voltage differential reaches a certain threshold, the higher-voltage battery will be discharged to maintain good voltage consistency. This can mask some significant battery self-discharge issues. Therefore, based on the operating conditions of the vehicle / energy storage system, how to detect batteries with abnormal self-discharge through battery data has become a significant technical challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for detecting abnormal battery self-discharge. The self-discharge is detected by calculating the equalization capacity value through the equalization function, and the magnitude and trend of self-discharge are quantified. This not only enables the detection of cells with early internal short circuits, but also quantifies the development process of unobservable internal short circuits inside the battery, thereby improving the detection efficiency of internal short circuits in the battery cell.

[0005] This application provides a method for detecting abnormal battery self-discharge, the detection method including:

[0006] Acquire vehicle data for the target vehicle over multiple periods;

[0007] For the current cycle among the multiple cycles, based on the battery pack differential pressure parameter and battery pack capacity parameter in the target vehicle data corresponding to the current cycle, it is determined whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system.

[0008] If not, then based on the voltage difference trend between the voltage of multiple cells in the battery pack and the highest cell voltage in the target vehicle data, as well as the voltage change trend of multiple cells, it is determined whether the battery of the target vehicle has an abnormal self-discharge situation.

[0009] If so, the balanced capacity value of each cell in each cycle is determined, and based on the consistency of the balanced capacity value of each cell and the changing trend of the balanced capacity value of each cell, it is determined whether the battery of the target vehicle has an abnormal self-discharge.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the following steps are used to determine whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system:

[0011] If the battery pack capacity parameter is greater than the preset battery pack capacity parameter, and the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter is greater than the preset pressure difference parameter, then the target vehicle meets the equalization activation condition of the battery management system.

[0012] If the battery pack capacity parameter is less than or equal to the preset battery pack capacity parameter and / or the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter is less than or equal to the preset pressure difference parameter, then the target vehicle does not meet the equalization activation condition of the battery management system.

[0013] In one possible implementation, determining whether the battery of the target vehicle is experiencing an abnormal self-discharge based on the voltage difference trend between the voltage of multiple cells in the battery pack and the highest cell voltage, as well as the voltage change trend of multiple cells, in the target vehicle data includes:

[0014] Determine whether the voltage difference between the voltage of multiple cells in the battery pack and the highest cell voltage shows an increasing trend and whether the voltage change trend of the multiple cells shows a decreasing trend within multiple cycles;

[0015] If both are true, then it is determined that the target vehicle's battery is experiencing an abnormal self-discharge.

[0016] If none of the above applies, it is determined that the target vehicle's battery does not exhibit any self-discharge abnormalities.

[0017] In one possible implementation, for each cell in each cycle, the balanced capacity value of each cell in each cycle is determined by the following steps:

[0018] Within the equalization start time and equalization end time, a reference equalization capacity value for each cell is determined based on the product of the equalization current and the equalization time; wherein, the equalization time is the time difference between the acquisition of the voltages of two adjacent cells of that cell.

[0019] The balanced capacity value of the battery cell is determined by summing the multiple reference balanced capacity values ​​within the balanced start time and balanced end time.

[0020] In one possible implementation, determining whether the target vehicle's battery exhibits an abnormal self-discharge based on the consistency of the balanced capacity value of each of the battery cells includes:

[0021] If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells except the target cell are the same, and the balanced capacity values ​​do not show an increasing trend, then it is determined that the multiple cells of the battery have not experienced any self-discharge abnormalities.

[0022] If the equalization capacity values ​​of all cells except the target cell are the same, and the equalization capacity values ​​of the other cells are greater than the preset equalization capacity value, then it is determined that the target cell has a self-discharge abnormality.

[0023] If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells other than the target cell are different among the multiple cells, then the balanced capacity values ​​of each cell are ranked in descending order to determine the cells in the battery that have experienced a self-discharge abnormality in multiple consecutive cycles.

[0024] If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells other than the target cell are different, the difference in balanced capacity between the other cells in two adjacent cycles is determined. The balanced capacity difference of each cell is ranked in descending order, and the cells in the battery whose balanced capacity difference gradually decreases are found to have self-discharge abnormalities.

[0025] In one possible implementation, determining whether the target vehicle's battery exhibits abnormal self-discharge based on the changing trend of the cell's balanced capacity value includes:

[0026] If, within a plurality of the aforementioned cycles, the balanced capacity value of any one of the plurality of battery cells shows a decreasing trend, and the rate of change of the balanced capacity value of that battery cell exceeds a preset rate of change, then it is determined that the battery cell of the battery has a self-discharge abnormality.

[0027] The equal capacity difference between two adjacent cycles of other cells besides the target cell is determined. If any cell continuously exceeds multiple equal capacity differences that are negative, then the cell of the battery is determined to have a self-discharge abnormality.

[0028] This application embodiment also provides a battery self-discharge abnormality detection device, the detection device comprising:

[0029] The acquisition module is used to acquire vehicle data for the target vehicle over multiple periods.

[0030] The equalization judgment module is used to determine, for the current period among the multiple periods, whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system based on the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter and battery pack capacity parameter in the target vehicle data corresponding to the current period.

[0031] The first detection module is used to determine whether the battery of the target vehicle has an abnormal self-discharge condition based on the voltage difference change trend between the voltage of multiple cells in the battery pack and the highest cell voltage, as well as the voltage change trend of multiple cells in the target vehicle data.

[0032] The second detection module is used to determine the balanced capacity value of each cell in each cycle if the condition is met, and to determine whether the battery of the target vehicle has an abnormal self-discharge condition based on the consistency of the balanced capacity value of each cell and the changing trend of the balanced capacity value of each cell.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the equalization determination module determines whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system through the following steps:

[0034] If the battery pack capacity parameter is greater than the preset battery pack capacity parameter, and the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter is greater than the preset pressure difference parameter, then the target vehicle meets the equalization activation condition of the battery management system.

[0035] If the battery pack capacity parameter is less than or equal to the preset battery pack capacity parameter and / or the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter is less than or equal to the preset pressure difference parameter, then the target vehicle does not meet the equalization activation condition of the battery management system.

[0036] This application also provides an electronic device, including: a processor, a memory, and a bus. The memory stores machine-readable instructions executable by the processor. When the electronic device is running, the processor communicates with the memory via the bus. When the machine-readable instructions are executed by the processor, the steps of the battery self-discharge abnormality detection method described above are performed.

[0037] This application also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, performs the steps of the battery self-discharge abnormality detection method described above.

[0038] The battery self-discharge anomaly detection method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium provided in this application embodiment include: acquiring vehicle data of a target vehicle for multiple cycles; for the current cycle among the multiple cycles, determining whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system based on the battery pack internal voltage difference parameter and battery pack capacity parameter in the target vehicle data corresponding to the current cycle; if not, determining whether the target vehicle's battery has a self-discharge anomaly based on the voltage difference change trend between the voltage of multiple cells and the highest cell voltage in the battery pack and the voltage change trend of multiple cells in the target vehicle data; if yes, determining the equalization capacity value of each cell in each cycle, and determining whether the target vehicle's battery has a self-discharge anomaly based on the consistency of the equalization capacity value of each cell and the change trend of the equalization capacity value of each cell. By detecting self-discharge through the equalization capacity value calculated by the equalization function and quantifying the magnitude and change trend of self-discharge, it not only detects cells with early internal short circuits but also quantifies the unobservable internal short circuit development process inside the battery, improving the detection efficiency of internal short circuits in cells.

[0049] First, the applicable scenarios for this application will be introduced. This application can be applied to the field of battery testing technology.

[0050] Research has revealed that, currently, under the operating conditions of vehicle / energy storage systems, battery management systems can monitor battery status in real time, and various manufacturers are also monitoring battery voltage differentials and trends of increasing voltage differentials. However, current vehicle / energy storage systems have battery balancing functions. When the cell voltage differential reaches a certain threshold, the higher-voltage battery will be discharged to maintain good voltage consistency. This can mask some significant battery self-discharge issues. Therefore, based on the operating conditions of the vehicle / energy storage system, how to detect batteries with abnormal self-discharge through battery data has become a significant technical challenge.

[0051] Based on this, the embodiments of this application provide a method for detecting abnormal battery self-discharge. The self-discharge is detected by the equalization capacity value calculated by the equalization function, and the magnitude and trend of self-discharge are quantified. This not only enables the detection of cells with early internal short circuits, but also quantifies the development process of unobservable internal short circuits inside the battery, thereby improving the detection efficiency of internal short circuits in the battery cells.

[0052] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for detecting abnormal battery self-discharge provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the detection method includes:

[0053] S101: Acquire vehicle data for the target vehicle over multiple periods.

[0054] In this step, vehicle data for the target vehicle across multiple periods is filtered out from the cloud server.

[0055] Here, a week can be used as a cycle.

[0056] The vehicle data includes other data such as the differential pressure parameters within the battery pack and the battery pack capacity parameters of the target vehicle during that cycle.

[0057] S102: For the current cycle among the multiple cycles, determine whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system based on the battery pack differential pressure parameter and battery pack capacity parameter in the target vehicle data corresponding to the current cycle.

[0058] In this step, for the current cycle among multiple cycles, the system determines whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system based on the battery pack differential pressure parameter and battery pack capacity parameter in the target vehicle data corresponding to the current cycle.

[0059] Here, multiple cycles refer to historical cycles, and the current cycle is the cycle with the most recent time point among multiple historical cycles. For example, November 1-7, 2022 is one cycle, November 8-15 is another cycle, and November 16-23 is yet another cycle. Therefore, the cycle corresponding to November 16-23 is the current cycle.

[0060] The conditions for equalization activation include the battery pack capacity parameter being greater than the preset battery pack capacity parameter, and the internal pressure difference parameter of the battery pack being greater than the preset pressure difference parameter.

[0061] The internal pressure difference parameters and battery pack capacity parameters were determined using existing technologies, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the following steps are used to determine whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system:

[0063] A: If the battery pack capacity parameter is greater than the preset battery pack capacity parameter, and the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter is greater than the preset pressure difference parameter, then the target vehicle meets the equalization activation condition of the battery management system.

[0064] Here, if the battery pack capacity parameter is greater than the preset battery pack capacity parameter and the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter is greater than the preset pressure difference parameter, then the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system.

[0065] The preset battery pack capacity parameters and preset differential pressure parameters were determined through expert experience.

[0066] B: If the battery pack capacity parameter is less than or equal to the preset battery pack capacity parameter and / or the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter is less than or equal to the preset pressure difference parameter, then the target vehicle does not meet the equalization activation condition of the battery management system.

[0067] Here, if the battery pack capacity parameter is less than or equal to the preset battery pack capacity parameter and / or the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter is less than or equal to the preset pressure difference parameter, the target vehicle does not meet the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system.

[0068] Here, if either the battery pack capacity parameter is less than or equal to the preset battery pack capacity parameter or the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter is less than or equal to the preset pressure difference parameter, the target vehicle does not meet the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system.

[0069] Here, the equalization shutdown condition is determined as follows: when the actual equalization time is determined, the battery management system (BMS) shuts down the equalization function when the actual equalization time is equal to the preset equalization time.

[0070] In a specific embodiment, it is determined whether the target vehicle meets the conditions for BMS passive balancing to be turned on and off. For example, when the battery pack capacity parameter is greater than 30% and the battery pack internal voltage difference parameter is greater than 2mV, the BMS turns on the balancing function, converts the voltage into the SOC and capacity that need to be balanced, and calculates the required balancing time. When the actual balancing time is equal to the preset required balancing time, the BMS turns off the balancing function.

[0071] S103: If not, then based on the voltage difference trend between the voltage of multiple cells in the battery pack and the highest cell voltage in the target vehicle data, and the voltage change trend of multiple cells, it is determined whether the battery of the target vehicle has an abnormal self-discharge situation.

[0072] In this step, if the battery management system's balancing activation conditions are not met, the voltage difference trend between multiple cell voltages and the highest cell voltage within the battery pack in the target vehicle data will be used.

[0073] The voltage change trends of multiple cells can be used to determine whether the target vehicle's battery is experiencing abnormal self-discharge.

[0074] Here, when the voltage difference within the battery pack does not meet the conditions for equalization activation (the voltage difference is small), that is, the BMS has not activated the equalization function for several consecutive cycles, the system comprehensively judges whether an abnormal self-discharge situation has occurred by considering factors such as the maximum voltage difference within the battery pack, the voltage difference change trend between multiple cells and the highest cell voltage within the battery pack, and the voltage ranking change trend.

[0075] 0 In one possible implementation, the battery pack based on the target vehicle data...

[0076] The trend of voltage difference between multiple cell voltages and the highest cell voltage, as well as the voltage change trend of multiple cells, are used to determine whether the target vehicle's battery is experiencing abnormal self-discharge, including:

[0077] (1): Determine the voltage of multiple cells in the battery pack and the highest cell voltage within multiple cycles.

[0078] Whether the voltage difference between the cells shows an increasing trend and whether the voltage change trend of the multiple cells shows a decreasing trend.

[0079] Here, we determine the trend of voltage difference between multiple cells and the highest cell voltage within the battery pack over multiple cycles, and whether the voltage change trend of multiple cells shows a decreasing trend.

[0080] (2): If both are true, then it is determined that the battery of the target vehicle has an abnormal self-discharge.

[0081] If both are true, then it is determined that the target vehicle's battery is experiencing an abnormal self-discharge.

[0082] 0(3): If all are negative, it is determined that the battery of the target vehicle has not experienced any self-discharge abnormality.

[0083] If all of these conditions are not met, then it is determined that the target vehicle's battery has not experienced any self-discharge abnormalities.

[0084] In a specific embodiment, when the pressure difference within the battery pack does not meet the equalization activation condition (the pressure difference is small), i.e., the BMS has not activated the equalization function for several consecutive cycles, then the maximum pressure difference within the battery pack is used to...

[0085] The battery pack's battery self-discharge anomaly is determined by comprehensively considering factors such as the voltage difference trends between multiple cells and the highest-voltage cell, and the voltage ranking trends. If, over multiple cycles, the voltage difference between multiple cells and the highest-voltage cell shows an increasing trend, and the cell ranking shows a decreasing trend, then the target vehicle's battery is confirmed to have a self-discharge anomaly. If, over multiple cycles, the voltage difference between multiple cells and the highest-voltage cell does not show an increasing trend, and the cell ranking shows a decreasing trend, then the target vehicle's battery is confirmed not to have a self-discharge anomaly.

[0086] S104: If so, determine the balanced capacity value of each cell in each cycle, and determine whether the battery of the target vehicle has an abnormal self-discharge based on the consistency of the balanced capacity value of each cell and the changing trend of the balanced capacity value of each cell.

[0087] In this step, if the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system, the equalization capacity value of each cell in each cycle is determined. Based on the consistency of the equalization capacity value of each cell and the changing trend of the equalization capacity value of each cell, it is determined whether the battery of the target vehicle has an abnormal self-discharge.

[0088] Here, when the balancing condition is met, that is, the BMS activates the balancing function for multiple consecutive cycles, the balancing capacity value of each cell in each sliding window is calculated based on the conditions for the passive balancing function to be activated and deactivated.

[0089] In one possible implementation, for each cell in each cycle, the balanced capacity value of each cell in each cycle is determined by the following steps:

[0090] a: Within the equalization start time and equalization end time, a reference equalization capacity value for each cell is determined based on the product of the equalization current and the equalization time; wherein, the equalization time is the time difference between the voltages of two adjacent cells of the cell.

[0091] Here, within the equalization start time and equalization end time, the reference equalization capacity value of each cell is determined based on the product of the equalization current and the equalization time.

[0092] The equalization start-up time is the time point at which the voltage difference between each cell and the cell corresponding to the lowest voltage reaches a threshold, and the voltage of each cell is not in the low SOC range.

[0093] The equilibrium end time is the time point corresponding to when the actual equilibrium time equals the preset equilibrium time.

[0094] Here, the equalization time is the time difference between the voltages of two adjacent cells of the battery cell. For example, if the voltage of the first cell of the battery cell is collected at 00:15 and the voltage of the second cell of the battery cell is collected at 00:30, then the time difference is 00:15.

[0095] The equilibrium time is within the equilibrium start time and equilibrium end time.

[0096] The balancing current varies according to the cell voltage, and the balancing current = cell voltage / balancing resistor value.

[0097] b: Sum the multiple reference equalization capacity values ​​within the equalization start time and equalization end time to determine the equalization capacity value of the battery cell.

[0098] Here, the equalization capacity values ​​of multiple reference equalization values ​​within the equalization start time and equalization end time are summed to determine the equalization capacity value of the cell.

[0099] In one possible implementation, determining whether the target vehicle's battery exhibits an abnormal self-discharge based on the consistency of the balanced capacity value of each of the battery cells includes:

[0100] I: If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells except the target cell are the same and the balanced capacity values ​​do not show an increasing trend, then it is determined that the multiple cells of the battery have not experienced any self-discharge abnormalities.

[0101] Here, if the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells other than the target cell are the same across multiple cycles, and the balanced capacity values ​​of the cells other than the target cell do not show an increasing trend, then it is determined that the multiple cells of the battery have not experienced any self-discharge abnormalities.

[0102] If all cells except target cell A have the same balanced capacity value and there is no increasing trend, then the consistency of multiple cells is good and no abnormal self-discharge occurs.

[0103] II: If the equalization capacity values ​​of all cells other than the target cell are the same, and the equalization capacity values ​​of the other cells are greater than the preset equalization capacity value, then it is determined that the target cell has a self-discharge abnormality.

[0104] Here, if the equalization capacity values ​​of all cells other than the target cell are the same across multiple cycles, and the equalization capacity values ​​of the other cells are greater than the preset equalization capacity value, then it is determined that the target cell has an abnormal self-discharge condition.

[0105] If all cells except target cell A have the same balanced capacity value and show an increasing trend, and the increasing trend exceeds 10mV / day, then target cell A is judged to have abnormal self-discharge.

[0106] III: If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells other than the target cell are different among the multiple cells, then the balanced capacity values ​​of each cell are ranked in descending order to determine the cells in the battery whose ranking has dropped for multiple consecutive cycles, indicating an abnormal self-discharge situation.

[0107] Here, if the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells other than the target cell are different, the balanced capacity values ​​of each cell are ranked in descending order to identify cells whose ranking has dropped for multiple consecutive cycles and thus indicate abnormal self-discharge.

[0108] If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells except target cell A are different, they are ranked from largest to smallest based on their balanced capacity values. If cell B's ranking drops for more than 4 consecutive cycles, it indicates that cell B has a trend of increasing self-discharge, and cell B is judged to have abnormal self-discharge.

[0109] IV: If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells other than the target cell are different among the multiple cells, determine the difference in balanced capacity between the other cells in two adjacent cycles, rank the balanced capacity difference of each cell in descending order, and determine the cells in the battery whose balanced capacity difference gradually decreases that have self-discharge abnormalities.

[0110] Here, if the balanced capacity values ​​of cells other than the target cell are different among multiple cells, the difference in balanced capacity of the cells other than the target cell in two adjacent cycles is determined. The balanced capacity difference of each cell is ranked in descending order, and the cells in the battery with gradually decreasing balanced capacity difference are identified as having abnormal self-discharge.

[0111] If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells except target cell A are different, the difference in balanced capacity between two adjacent cycles of all cells except target cell A is calculated (the difference between the previous cycle and the next cycle). Based on the difference in balanced capacity, cells are ranked from largest to smallest. If cell B's ranking drops for more than 4 consecutive cycles, it indicates that the cell has a trend of increasing self-discharge, and cell B is judged to have abnormal self-discharge.

[0112] In one possible implementation, determining whether the target vehicle's battery exhibits abnormal self-discharge based on the changing trend of the cell's balanced capacity value includes:

[0113] i: If, within multiple cycles, the balanced capacity value of any one of the multiple cells shows a decreasing trend, and the rate of change of the balanced capacity value of the cell exceeds a preset rate of change, then it is determined that the cell of the battery has a self-discharge abnormality.

[0114] Here, if the balanced capacity value of any one of the multiple cells shows a decreasing trend within multiple cycles, and the rate of change of the balanced capacity value of that cell exceeds the preset rate of change, then it is determined that the cell of the battery has a self-discharge abnormality.

[0115] If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells except target cell A are different, then the self-discharge abnormal cell detection can be performed based on the change in the balanced capacity of each cell. If the balanced capacity value of a certain cell B is continuously decreasing and the rate of change of the balanced capacity value exceeds 10mV / day, it indicates that the cell has a trend of increasing self-discharge, that is, cell B is judged to be abnormal in self-discharge.

[0116] ii: Determine the equalization capacity difference between two adjacent cycles for all cells other than the target cell. If any cell continuously exceeds multiple equalization capacity differences that are negative, then it is determined that the cell of the battery has a self-discharge abnormality.

[0117] Here, the equal capacity difference between two adjacent cycles of other cells besides the target cell is determined. If any cell continuously exceeds multiple equal capacity differences that are negative, then the cell of the battery is determined to have a self-discharge abnormality.

[0118] Specifically, if the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells except target cell A are different, the difference in balanced capacity between two adjacent windows of all cells except target cell A is calculated (subtracting the previous cycle from the next cycle). If the balanced capacity difference of cell B is negative for more than 4 consecutive cycles, it indicates that the cell has a trend of increasing self-discharge, and cell B is judged to have abnormal self-discharge. Here, the specific number of consecutive cycles is not limited.

[0119] Here, if both the self-discharge anomaly detection methods based on equal capacity consistency and equal capacity change detect a self-discharge anomaly in a certain cell B, then it is determined that the cell has an internal short circuit risk.

[0120] Here, the reason why self-discharge cannot be directly calculated based on the voltage difference is as follows: When the voltage difference is small, the BMS balancing function will not be activated, and the self-discharge anomaly can be directly determined by the voltage difference change. When the voltage difference is large, the BMS will activate the balancing function. At this time, the balancing function will discharge cells whose voltage difference with the minimum voltage exceeds the threshold. This will cause the voltage difference not to increase or even decrease, thus making it impossible to determine the self-discharge anomaly by the voltage difference change.

[0121] This application provides a method for detecting abnormal battery self-discharge. The method includes: acquiring vehicle data for a target vehicle over multiple cycles; for the current cycle, determining whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system based on the battery pack differential voltage parameter and battery pack capacity parameter in the target vehicle data corresponding to the current cycle; if not, determining whether the target vehicle's battery has experienced abnormal self-discharge based on the voltage difference trend between the voltage of multiple cells and the highest cell voltage in the battery pack, as well as the voltage change trend of multiple cells in the target vehicle data; if yes, determining the equalization capacity value of each cell in each cycle, and determining whether the target vehicle's battery has experienced abnormal self-discharge based on the consistency of the equalization capacity value of each cell and the change trend of the equalization capacity value of each cell. By detecting self-discharge using the equalization capacity value calculated by the equalization function and quantifying the magnitude and trend of self-discharge, this method not only detects cells with early internal short circuits but also quantifies the unobservable internal short circuit development process within the battery, thus improving the detection efficiency of internal short circuits within cells.

[0122] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of a battery self-discharge abnormality detection device provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 3 This is a second schematic diagram of a battery self-discharge abnormality detection device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the battery self-discharge abnormality detection device 200 includes:

[0123] The acquisition module 210 is used to acquire vehicle data of the target vehicle for multiple periods;

[0124] The equalization judgment module 220 is used to determine, for the current period among the multiple periods, whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system based on the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter and battery pack capacity parameter in the target vehicle data corresponding to the current period.

[0125] The first detection module 230 is used to determine whether the battery of the target vehicle has an abnormal self-discharge condition based on the voltage difference change trend between the voltage of multiple cells in the battery pack and the highest cell voltage, as well as the voltage change trend of multiple cells in the target vehicle data.

[0126] The second detection module 240 is used to determine the balanced capacity value of each cell in each cycle if the condition is met, and to determine whether the battery of the target vehicle has an abnormal self-discharge condition based on the consistency of the balanced capacity value of each cell and the changing trend of the balanced capacity value of each cell.

[0127] In one possible implementation, the equalization determination module 220 determines whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system through the following steps:

[0128] If the battery pack capacity parameter is greater than the preset battery pack capacity parameter, and the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter is greater than the preset pressure difference parameter, then the target vehicle meets the equalization activation condition of the battery management system.

[0129] If the battery pack capacity parameter is less than or equal to the preset battery pack capacity parameter and / or the battery pack internal pressure difference parameter is less than or equal to the preset pressure difference parameter, then the target vehicle does not meet the equalization activation condition of the battery management system.

[0130] In one possible implementation, when the first detection module 230 determines whether the battery of the target vehicle is experiencing an abnormal self-discharge based on the voltage difference trend between the voltage of multiple cells and the highest cell voltage in the battery pack, and the voltage change trend of multiple cells in the target vehicle data, the first detection module 230 is specifically used for:

[0131] Determine whether the voltage difference between the voltage of multiple cells in the battery pack and the highest cell voltage shows an increasing trend and whether the voltage change trend of the multiple cells shows a decreasing trend within multiple cycles;

[0132] If both are true, then it is determined that the target vehicle's battery is experiencing an abnormal self-discharge.

[0133] If none of the above applies, it is determined that the target vehicle's battery does not exhibit any self-discharge abnormalities.

[0134] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the battery self-discharge abnormality detection device 200 further includes an equalization capacity value determination module 250, which is used for:

[0135] Within the equalization start time and equalization end time, a reference equalization capacity value for each cell is determined based on the product of the equalization current and the equalization time; wherein, the equalization time is the time difference between the acquisition of the voltages of two adjacent cells of that cell.

[0136] The balanced capacity value of the battery cell is determined by summing the multiple reference balanced capacity values ​​within the balanced start time and balanced end time.

[0137] In one possible implementation, when the second detection module 240 determines whether the target vehicle's battery has a self-discharge abnormality based on the consistency of the balanced capacity value of each of the battery cells, the second detection module 240 is specifically used for:

[0138] If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells except the target cell are the same, and the balanced capacity values ​​do not show an increasing trend, then it is determined that the multiple cells of the battery have not experienced any self-discharge abnormalities.

[0139] If the equalization capacity values ​​of all cells except the target cell are the same, and the equalization capacity values ​​of the other cells are greater than the preset equalization capacity value, then it is determined that the target cell has a self-discharge abnormality.

[0140] If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells other than the target cell are different among the multiple cells, then the balanced capacity values ​​of each cell are ranked in descending order to determine the cells in the battery that have experienced a self-discharge abnormality in multiple consecutive cycles.

[0141] If the balanced capacity values ​​of all cells other than the target cell are different, the difference in balanced capacity between the other cells in two adjacent cycles is determined. The balanced capacity difference of each cell is ranked in descending order, and the cells in the battery whose balanced capacity difference gradually decreases are found to have self-discharge abnormalities.

[0142] In one possible implementation, when the second detection module 240 determines whether the target vehicle's battery has experienced an abnormal self-discharge based on the changing trend of the balanced capacity value of the battery cell, the second detection module 240 is specifically used for:

[0143] If, within a plurality of the aforementioned cycles, the balanced capacity value of any one of the plurality of battery cells shows a decreasing trend, and the rate of change of the balanced capacity value of that battery cell exceeds a preset rate of change, then it is determined that the battery cell of the battery has a self-discharge abnormality.

[0144] The equal capacity difference between two adjacent cycles of other cells besides the target cell is determined. If any cell continuously exceeds multiple equal capacity differences that are negative, then the cell of the battery is determined to have a self-discharge abnormality.

[0145] This application provides a battery self-discharge abnormality detection device, comprising: an acquisition module for acquiring vehicle data of a target vehicle for multiple cycles; an equalization judgment module for determining, for the current cycle among the multiple cycles, whether the target vehicle meets the equalization activation conditions of the battery management system based on the battery pack differential voltage parameter and battery pack capacity parameter in the target vehicle data corresponding to the current cycle; a first detection module for determining, if not, whether the target vehicle's battery has a self-discharge abnormality based on the voltage difference change trend between the voltage of multiple cells and the highest cell voltage in the battery pack and the voltage change trend of multiple cells in the target vehicle data; and a second detection module for determining, if yes, the equalization capacity value of each cell in each cycle, and determining whether the target vehicle's battery has a self-discharge abnormality based on the consistency of the equalization capacity value of each cell and the change trend of the equalization capacity value of each cell. By using the equalization capacity value calculated by the equalization function to detect self-discharge and quantify the magnitude and trend of self-discharge, it is possible to not only detect cells with early internal short circuits, but also quantify the development process of unobservable internal short circuits inside the battery, thereby improving the detection efficiency of internal short circuits in cells.
