[0050] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the vehicle thermal runaway prediction device structure in the hardware operating environment involved in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0052] like Figure 1As shown, the vehicle thermal runaway prediction device may include: a processor 1001, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a communication bus 1002, a user interface 1003, a network interface 1004, and a memory 1005. The communication bus 1002 is used to establish communication between these components. The user interface 1003 may include a display screen or an input unit such as a keyboard; optionally, the user interface 1003 may also include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface. The network interface 1004 may optionally include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface (such as a Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) interface). The memory 1005 may be high-speed random access memory (RAM) or stable non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk storage device. Optionally, the memory 1005 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0053] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 1 The structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the vehicle thermal runaway prediction device and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the memory 1005, which serves as a storage medium, may include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a vehicle thermal runaway prediction program.

[0055] exist Figure 1 In the vehicle thermal runaway prediction device shown, the network interface 1004 is mainly used for data communication with the network server; the user interface 1003 is mainly used for data interaction with the user; the processor 1001 and the memory 1005 in the vehicle thermal runaway prediction device of the present invention can be set in the vehicle thermal runaway prediction device. The vehicle thermal runaway prediction device calls the vehicle thermal runaway prediction program stored in the memory 1005 through the processor 1001 and executes the vehicle thermal runaway prediction method provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] This invention provides a method for predicting vehicle thermal runaway, referring to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of a vehicle thermal runaway prediction method according to the present invention.

[0057] In this embodiment, the vehicle thermal runaway prediction method includes the following steps:

[0058] Step S10: Collect data on historical thermal runaway vehicles to obtain historical runaway data.

[0059] It's important to note that current vehicle thermal runaway prediction methods primarily monitor and predict from a temperature perspective. Temperature, as the most direct indicator of thermal runaway, allows for rapid problem detection and decision-making. However, a significant drawback is that changes in battery temperature are often only detectable shortly before thermal runaway occurs, leaving very little time for prevention and intervention. Often, thermal runaway has already occurred before anyone can react. This is the main reason why thermal runaway is difficult to predict.

[0060] It is understood that this embodiment collects historical runaway data of historical thermal runaway vehicles and performs voltage deviation analysis on these vehicles to determine the battery outlier characteristics and trends. It then accurately calculates the runaway threshold for processing these vehicles and predicts thermal runaway based on the threshold. This allows for early prediction of vehicle thermal runaway and ensures vehicle safety.

[0061] It should be understood that the subject executing the method in this embodiment may be a vehicle thermal runaway prediction device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a computer or monitoring platform, or other devices or equipment that can achieve the same or similar functions. Here, the above-mentioned vehicle thermal runaway prediction device (hereinafter referred to as prediction device) is used as an example for explanation.

[0062] It should be noted that vehicles with a history of thermal runaway can be those that have previously experienced power battery thermal runaway faults. The predictive device collects historical runaway data of the power battery of these vehicles by sending data acquisition requests to them. This historical runaway data can include relevant data about the power battery and vehicle operation, such as data acquisition time, vehicle VIN, vehicle operating status, total mileage, and individual battery cell voltage values.

[0063] In practice, the predictive equipment processes the raw data of historical thermal runaway vehicles to obtain historical runaway data, thereby cleaning up invalid data and improving the efficiency and accuracy of subsequent data analysis.

[0064] Step S20: Perform voltage deviation analysis on the historical thermal runaway vehicles based on the historical runaway data.

[0065] It should be noted that voltage deviation analysis can be used to analyze the voltage outlier trends of battery packs in vehicles with historical thermal runaway, thereby extracting the battery outlier characteristics of these vehicles. Voltage deviation refers to the voltage difference between individual cells in a battery pack. By measuring the voltage of each individual cell and calculating the difference between it and other individual cells, the voltage deviation within the battery pack can be obtained.

[0066] Understandably, predictive devices extract battery data and time data from historical runaway data, and based on this data, perform outlier analysis on the voltage of each individual cell in the battery pack of historical thermal runaway vehicles to identify abnormal individual cells in the battery pack and extract the outlier characteristics of the cells.

[0067] Step S30: Determine the runaway threshold of the historical thermal runaway vehicle based on the voltage deviation analysis results.

[0068] It should be noted that the runaway threshold can be the critical threshold at which the power battery of a vehicle with a history of thermal runaway has a risk of thermal runaway. The runaway threshold is different for different battery models. Therefore, in some embodiments, the prediction device obtains the runaway threshold corresponding to multiple battery models by performing voltage deviation analysis on multiple battery models, and establishes a mapping relationship between each power battery model and the corresponding runaway threshold.

[0069] It is understood that in some embodiments, the prediction device trains a model based on the mapping relationship between each type of power battery and the corresponding runaway threshold obtained through pre-analysis, constructs a thermal runaway prediction model, and performs thermal runaway prediction through the thermal runaway prediction model.

[0070] Step S40: Perform thermal runaway prediction on the target vehicle to be analyzed based on the runaway threshold.

[0071] It is understandable that this embodiment analyzes the voltage deviation of the battery in a vehicle that has experienced a thermal runaway failure, identifies outlier trends in battery voltage, and optimizes and adjusts the critical threshold for predicting thermal runaway characteristics through the analysis of a large amount of real data, thereby enabling early warning and early intervention to prevent problems before they occur.

[0072] Furthermore, to improve the efficiency of thermal runaway prediction, step S40 above may include:

[0073] Step S401: Obtain the battery pack model of the historical thermal runaway vehicle;

[0074] Step S402: Associate the battery pack model with the runaway threshold to obtain the runaway threshold mapping relationship;

[0075] Step S403: Construct a thermal runaway prediction model based on at least one set of runaway threshold mapping relationships;

[0076] Step S404: Input the battery pack signal of the target vehicle to be analyzed into the thermal runaway prediction model to perform thermal runaway prediction on the target vehicle to be analyzed.

[0077] It should be noted that the battery pack model can be the model of the power battery from a vehicle with a history of thermal runaway. The aforementioned thermal runaway prediction model can be a data analysis model built based on a training set constructed from at least one set of runaway threshold mapping relationships.

[0078] Understandably, predictive devices obtain runaway thresholds for multiple battery models by performing voltage deviation analysis on one or more battery models, and establish a mapping relationship between each power battery model and its corresponding runaway threshold.

[0079] It should be understood that, in some embodiments, the prediction device trains a model based on the mapping relationship between each type of power battery and the corresponding runaway threshold obtained through pre-analysis, constructs a thermal runaway prediction model, and performs thermal runaway prediction through the thermal runaway prediction model.

[0080] This embodiment collects data on historical thermal runaway vehicles to obtain historical runaway data. Based on this data, voltage deviation analysis is performed on the historical thermal runaway vehicles. The runaway threshold of the historical thermal runaway vehicles is determined based on the voltage deviation analysis results. Based on the runaway threshold, thermal runaway prediction is performed on the target vehicle to be analyzed. Because this embodiment uses voltage deviation analysis on historical thermal runaway vehicles to identify the presence of abnormal outlier batteries in these vehicles, and determines the runaway threshold based on the analysis results, thermal runaway prediction is performed on the target vehicle to be analyzed based on the runaway threshold. This enables early prediction of thermal runaway of vehicle power batteries, improves the accuracy of thermal runaway prediction, and effectively enhances vehicle safety.

[0081] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a second embodiment of a vehicle thermal runaway prediction method according to the present invention.

[0082] Based on the first embodiment described above, in this embodiment, step S20 includes:

[0083] Step S21: Extract the voltage data of each individual cell in the battery pack of the historical thermal runaway vehicle from the historical runaway data.

[0084] It should be noted that the voltage data can be the voltage values ​​of each individual cell in the battery pack of a historical thermal runaway vehicle collected at different time points.

[0085] It is understood that in this embodiment, the prediction device sorts the collected historical runaway data according to the data collection time, and summarizes the voltage data of each individual cell in the battery pack based on the sorting results.

[0086] Step S22: Perform voltage deviation analysis on each individual cell based on the voltage data.

[0087] It is understood that the prediction device in this embodiment performs outlier analysis on voltage data to obtain the voltage outlier characteristic trend of a single cell.

[0088] Furthermore, in order to accurately perform voltage deviation analysis, step S22 above may include:

[0089] Step S221: Determine the voltage outlier of each individual cell based on the voltage data;

[0090] Step S222: Obtain the voltage acquisition time data of each individual battery cell based on the historical runaway data;

[0091] Step S223: Construct a voltage deviation analysis graph based on the voltage outlier and the voltage time data;

[0092] Step S224: Perform voltage deviation analysis on each individual cell based on the voltage deviation analysis diagram.

[0093] It should be noted that the voltage outlier can be the difference between a single cell voltage and a historical thermal runaway vehicle's single cell voltage reference value. The voltage outlier analysis chart mentioned above can be an analysis chart constructed based on voltage-time data, with the calculated voltage outliers arranged in chronological order. For example, the voltage outlier analysis chart can be a voltage outlier curve, as shown in the reference... Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the voltage deviation curve, where the horizontal axis represents the voltage acquisition time and the vertical axis represents the battery voltage. The voltage-time data mentioned above can be the battery data acquisition time data.

[0094] It is understood that the prediction device in this embodiment extracts the voltage data of each individual battery cell based on historical runaway data, as well as the voltage acquisition time data of each individual battery cell. Based on the voltage data, it calculates the voltage outlier value of each individual battery cell, correlates the voltage outlier value with the voltage acquisition time data, generates a voltage deviation analysis chart based on the correlation correspondence of the voltage outlier value according to the time sequence, and performs voltage deviation analysis based on the voltage deviation analysis chart to obtain the trend of battery voltage outlier characteristics.

[0095] Furthermore, in order to accurately calculate the voltage outlier of each individual cell, step S221 above may include:

[0096] Step S2211: Obtain the voltage acquisition time data of each individual battery cell based on the historical runaway data;

[0097] Step S2212: Associate the voltage data with the voltage acquisition time data;

[0098] Step S2213: Construct the voltage-time matrix of the battery pack based on the correlation results;

[0099] Step S2214: Determine the voltage reference value of the battery pack based on the voltage-time matrix;

[0100] Step S2215: Determine the voltage outlier of each individual cell based on the voltage reference value and the voltage data.

[0101] It is understandable that the voltage-time matrix can be a data matrix constructed from the voltage of a single battery cell and the data acquisition time, as shown in the reference. Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the voltage-time matrix.

[0102] It should be understood that the prediction device sorts the collected voltage data by acquisition time, and then sorts the individual battery cell voltages sequentially, forming a matrix of individual battery cell voltages and acquisition time. The corresponding individual battery cell voltages for the same day are then extracted and averaged to form a longitudinal average. This method can be used to obtain the daily longitudinal average for all batteries of that vehicle model. Figure 5 As shown, first calculate the average voltage of each cell within the rectangular area.

[0103] Understandably, the prediction device will recalculate the average daily voltage of each individual cell in the battery pack to obtain the baseline voltage A for that vehicle on that day. Then, it will compare the voltage of all individual cells with the baseline value A to calculate the voltage outlier, referring to Formula 1 below, where ΔVi is the voltage outlier and Vi is the voltage of the individual cell.

[0104] AVi = Vi - A Formula 1

[0105] This embodiment extracts the voltage data of each individual cell in the battery pack of the historical thermal runaway vehicle from the historical runaway data, and performs voltage deviation analysis on each individual cell based on the voltage data. Since this embodiment extracts the voltage data of each individual cell in the battery pack of the historical thermal runaway vehicle and performs voltage deviation analysis on each individual cell based on the voltage data, it can accurately analyze the voltage outlier trend of the vehicle battery.

[0106] refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating the third embodiment of a vehicle thermal runaway prediction method according to the present invention.

[0107] Based on the first embodiment described above, in this embodiment, step S10 includes:

[0108] Step S101: Send a data acquisition request to the on-board terminal of the historical thermal runaway vehicle, so that the on-board terminal can collect data from the historical thermal runaway vehicle based on the data acquisition frequency in the data acquisition request;

[0109] Step S102: Obtain the original data of the historical thermal runaway vehicles collected by the vehicle terminal;

[0110] Step S103: Process the raw data to obtain historical out-of-control data.

[0111] It should be noted that vehicles with a history of thermal runaway can be those that have previously experienced power battery thermal runaway faults. The predictive device collects historical runaway data of the power battery of these vehicles by sending data acquisition requests to them. The aforementioned raw data can include the power battery data and relevant vehicle operation data of the vehicles with historical thermal runaway, such as data acquisition time, vehicle VIN, vehicle operating status, total mileage, and voltage values ​​of individual power battery cells.

[0112] It is understood that the prediction device in this embodiment can identify vehicles that have previously experienced thermal runaway of the power battery (i.e., vehicles with historical thermal runaway) and send data acquisition requests to these vehicles. This allows the vehicles with historical thermal runaway to acquire data at the data acquisition frequency carried in the data acquisition request, for example, 0.1Hz. After acquiring the data, the vehicles with historical thermal runaway transmit the acquired real-time data to the prediction device via a preset method (e.g., HTTP). The prediction device receives the raw data and stores it in a storage medium.

[0113] Furthermore, in order to effectively process the raw data, step S103 above may include:

[0114] Step S1031: Parse the original data to obtain the data fields contained in the original data;

[0115] Step S1032: Classify the original data based on the data fields to obtain candidate data;

[0116] Step S1033: Perform data cleaning processing on the candidate data based on preset cleaning rules to obtain historical out-of-control data.

[0117] It is understandable that the data received by the prediction device from historical thermal runaway vehicles can be message data. Therefore, when the prediction device receives message data, it can store the message data and parse it when data analysis is needed, classifying and storing the parsed data fields. These mainly include data acquisition time, vehicle VIN, vehicle operating status, total mileage, and individual battery cell voltage values. The parsed and stored data is then cleaned using certain rules. The main rules include: removing invalid values, removing zero values, removing abnormal data (such as unequal sums of total voltage and individual cell voltages), and removing duplicate data.

[0118] This embodiment sends a data acquisition request to the onboard terminal of a vehicle with a history of thermal runaway. The onboard terminal then collects data from the vehicle based on the data acquisition frequency specified in the request, obtaining raw data from the vehicle. This raw data is then processed to obtain historical runaway data. Because this embodiment collects a large amount of raw vehicle battery data by sending data acquisition requests to the onboard terminal of the vehicle with a history of thermal runaway, and processes this raw data to obtain historical runaway data, data analysis efficiency is improved, and the influence of invalid and duplicate data is avoided.

[0119] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention also proposes a storage medium storing a vehicle thermal runaway prediction program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the vehicle thermal runaway prediction method described above.

[0120] Since this storage medium adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0121] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a structural block diagram of the first embodiment of the vehicle thermal runaway prediction device of the present invention.

Based on this data, voltage deviation analysis is performed on the historical thermal runaway vehicles. The runaway threshold of the historical thermal runaway vehicles is determined based on the voltage deviation analysis results. Based on the runaway threshold, thermal runaway prediction is performed on the target vehicle to be analyzed. Because this embodiment uses voltage deviation analysis on historical thermal runaway vehicles to identify the presence of abnormal outlier batteries in these vehicles, and determines the runaway threshold based on the analysis results, thermal runaway prediction is performed on the target vehicle to be analyzed based on the runaway threshold. This enables early prediction of thermal runaway of vehicle power batteries, improves the accuracy of thermal runaway prediction, and effectively enhances vehicle safety.
