[0053] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0054] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0055] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: obtaining the current operating scenario data of the aircraft; the current operating scenario data includes the mission airspace temperature information and flight profile information of the aircraft; matching to obtain the target battery temperature corresponding to the current operating scenario data; performing thermal management on the battery pack of the aircraft during the charging process, so that the battery temperature of the battery pack reaches and is maintained at the target battery temperature during the charging process.
[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, for ease of description, the following description is made using the ground charging thermal management device as the execution entity.
[0057] With the rapid development of eVTOL, the safety of battery packs, as an important power component of eVTOL, has attracted much attention. In order to keep the battery running in a safe state for a long time, the thermal management strategy set in the battery thermal management system is usually used to manage the battery thermally, so that the battery can be kept at the optimal operating temperature in the flight state, reduce the temperature difference between each battery module, and can be charged quickly at a high rate in the ground preparation state, thereby improving the duty flight efficiency of eVTOL.
[0058] In the related technologies, the thermal management strategy applied to battery packs is mainly to control the temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of each battery module in the battery pack through the battery thermal management system. When the temperature exceeds or falls below the preset maximum temperature standard, minimum temperature standard and temperature difference standard when the battery is charged, a liquid cooling device or an air cooling device is used to heat or cool the inside of the battery. However, in the operation scenarios of aircraft such as eVTOL, there may be rapid changes in the ground ambient temperature and the air ambient temperature, as well as the possibility of a large difference in ambient temperature between the take-off and landing sites, resulting in poor compatibility between the thermal management strategy provided by the related technologies and the suitable working conditions of eVTOL batteries.
[0059] The present application provides a solution for different thermal management scenarios, especially for different mission airspace temperature information and different flight profile information, to determine the corresponding target battery temperature, thereby making the thermal management task adaptable during the corresponding battery charging more suitable.
[0060] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, a ground charging thermal management device, etc. The following takes the ground charging thermal management device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.
[0061] Based on this, the present application embodiment provides a battery charging thermal management method, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the charging thermal management method of the present application.
[0062] In this embodiment, the battery charging thermal management method includes steps S10 to S30:
[0063] Step S10: Acquire the operation scenario data of the aircraft.
[0064] The current operation scenario data includes aircraft mission airspace temperature information and flight profile information.
[0065] Step S20: matching and obtaining the target battery temperature corresponding to the current operating scenario data.
[0066] Step S30: thermally manage the battery pack of the aircraft during the charging process so that the battery temperature of the battery pack reaches and is maintained at the target battery temperature during the charging process.
[0067] It is understandable that the aircraft may be a flying car, eVTOL, or drone, etc., which uses batteries as a power source. The following description takes the aircraft being eVTOL as an example.
[0068] Specifically, the eVTOL has a battery pack. The battery pack can provide electrical energy to the power unit of the eVTOL, or it can also provide electrical energy to airborne systems such as an airborne environmental control system and an airborne lighting system. The battery pack includes a module shell having a battery cavity and a battery cell group installed in the battery cavity. The module shell has a first battery cavity hole and a second battery cavity hole connected to the battery cavity, wherein the first battery cavity hole is for heat exchange fluid to flow in, and the second battery cavity hole is for heat exchange fluid to flow out. And the first battery cavity hole and the second battery cavity hole are both arranged on the top wall or the upper part of the side wall of the module shell. In addition, the module shell is a shell structure with a sealing design, so that the battery cavity inside it can be used to fill the heat exchange fluid. When the battery cavity is filled with a heat exchange fluid, the heat exchange fluid can completely submerge the battery cell group, thereby contacting the battery cells of the battery cell group for heat exchange, so as to transfer the heat of the battery cells to the module shell, and heat exchange occurs with the external environment through the module shell, which is conducive to improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery cells. It is understandable that there are many structural forms of the battery cell, such as one or more of a soft-pack battery cell, a square battery cell and a cylindrical battery cell. In addition, the battery cavity can be a single battery cavity, or it can be a connected cavity formed by connecting multiple battery cavities through a pipeline.
[0069] In addition, the eVTOL also has a heat exchange fluid interface, which includes a machine-end medium inlet hole connected to the first battery cavity hole, and a machine-end medium outlet hole connected to the second battery cavity hole. Of course, the heat exchange fluid interface can be integrated into the charging socket on the eVTOL that cooperates with the charging gun, thereby avoiding a significant increase in the weight of the eVTOL and avoiding wasting the fuselage space of the eVTOL.
[0070] In one possible implementation, the battery cavity can also be used to fill with non-combustible gas. When the battery cavity is filled with non-combustible gas, the battery cell group is in contact with the non-combustible gas. In this way, the contact area between the battery cell and oxygen is reduced. When the battery pack has thermal runaway, the non-combustible gas can suppress the combustion of the battery pack. It is worth mentioning that due to the filling of non-combustible gas, the water vapor in the battery cavity is reduced, thus reducing the occurrence of condensed water in the battery cavity, thereby avoiding insulation failure of the battery pack.
[0071] In a possible implementation, a phase change material is also provided in the battery cavity, and in this case, the battery cell can directly exchange heat with the phase change material, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery cell. For example, a phase change module composed of a phase change material is provided between two adjacent battery cells, so that the heat between the two adjacent battery cells can be dissipated through the phase change module, avoiding heat accumulation between the two adjacent battery cells, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery pack.
[0072] It should be noted that the executor of this embodiment is the ground charging thermal management device, which can be a device configured in the airport to independently perform thermal management tasks. Alternatively, the ground charging thermal management device integrates charging and thermal management functions. Specifically, the ground charging thermal management device includes an external charging module and a thermal management module. The external charging module is constructed to be connected to the charging socket of the aircraft to deliver electrical energy to the battery pack, and the thermal management module is constructed to be connected to the heat exchange fluid interface of the aircraft to deliver heat exchange fluid to the battery pack. Of course, the executor of this embodiment can also be a user terminal configured by the airport support personnel, which is connected to the ground charging thermal management device in communication, thereby sending corresponding control instructions to the ground charging thermal management device. Alternatively, the executor of this embodiment can also be the airport's support monitoring platform, which is connected to the ground charging thermal management device in communication, thereby sending corresponding control instructions to the ground charging thermal management device.
[0073] Understandably, before each takeoff, airport operations will issue flight mission information related to the flight mission.
[0074] Among them, the flight mission information includes but is not limited to mission airspace information and flight profile information. Among them, the flight profile information includes multiple flight phase information, and each flight phase information at least includes flight duration and expected output power. Specifically, the information after the flight takes the take-off point as the origin and the landing destination as the end point, and is composed of several flight phases such as take-off, climb, cruise, mission execution, descent and landing. In each flight phase, the aircraft's flight speed, altitude, altitude pressure, expected output power, flight duration, distance from the take-off point and other parameter information are indicated. For example, for the take-off phase, the take-off duration needs to be marked. For example, for the landing phase, the landing duration needs to be marked. It is worth mentioning that the expected output power of each flight phase is related to the payload of the aircraft. For eVTOL, the payload is determined based on the total mass of passengers and cargo.
[0075] The mission airspace temperature information may be a collection of temperature information of each airspace that the aircraft passes through while flying along a predetermined flight path after takeoff and before landing. Of course, it is understandable that the temperature information is highly correlated with the aircraft's location.
[0076] After obtaining the flight mission information, the current operation scenario data of the aircraft performing the current flight mission can be constructed based on it.
[0077] Alternatively, in one embodiment, when the ground charging thermal management device executes step S10, it specifically includes: when the aircraft is connected to the ground charging thermal management device, obtaining the flight status information of the aircraft; when the flight status information is normal, obtaining the current operation scene data.
[0078] See also Figure 2Specifically, after the aircraft lands at the designated location, the ground charging thermal management device is connected to the designated interface of the aircraft through a dedicated connector, and the battery information, flight status information and flight process data are read through the communication cable in the designated interface of the aircraft. The flight status information includes but is not limited to the current battery voltage, current battery temperature, battery power SOC (State of Charge), battery voltage curve, power curve, temperature curve, fault information, etc. during flight.
[0079] The ground charging thermal management equipment uses flight status information and flight process data (battery-related data) to determine whether the battery pack is currently in a normal state, and whether the battery pack is in an abnormal state during the flight. If the battery pack is currently in an abnormal state, the fault information needs to be analyzed and maintenance needs to be performed for the fault. If abnormal fault information appears during the battery flight, the flight data needs to be analyzed and maintenance needs to be performed for the fault. If the fault level is high and the fault cannot be handled within the ground maintenance time, subsequent flights should be stopped and the battery pack should be fully maintained. If the fault level is low and it does not affect subsequent flight missions after inspection and maintenance, charging thermal management operations can be performed.
[0080] It is worth mentioning that although the battery system output power is high and the battery heats up during takeoff and landing, the battery system output power is low and the battery heats up less during level flight. However, when the aircraft performs different flight missions, the battery is in different operating scenarios, which will cause the battery to generate different heat, which will in turn affect the thermal management of subsequent aircraft trips. For example, during level flight, the battery pack may absorb more heat in a high temperature environment, causing the battery system temperature to rise beyond the optimal temperature range, which in turn causes the maximum temperature limit to be exceeded during high power output during landing. It is also possible that during level flight, the battery pack may exceed the optimal temperature range after the battery system temperature drops in a low temperature environment, thus failing to meet the high power output requirements during landing. In addition, even for the same mission, the battery output power is different due to different mission execution durations. For example, performing a certain flight mission for a long time will also cause heat accumulation in the battery and increase.
[0081] Therefore, after obtaining the current operating scenario data, especially the mission airspace temperature information and flight profile information of the mission environment during level flight, this embodiment can determine the corresponding target battery temperature based on this, and when charging the eVTOL through the battery charging thermal management system, the battery pack is thermally managed through the thermal management module, so that the temperature inside the battery pack reaches the target battery temperature during the charging process.
[0082] It should be noted that the temperature inside the battery pack reaches the target battery temperature when the temperature inside the battery pack is equal to the target battery temperature or when the difference between the temperature inside the battery pack and the target battery temperature is within an allowable error range. In addition, the allowable error range can be determined according to the current operating scenario data.
[0083] It is not difficult to see that compared with merely considering monitoring the battery temperature during charging and controlling it within an appropriate temperature range, this embodiment determines the corresponding target battery temperature for different thermal management scenarios, especially for different mission airspace temperature information and flight profile information, thereby making the corresponding thermal management task during battery charging more adaptable.
[0084] In addition, when the temperature inside the battery pack is high, the phase change material in the battery cavity will absorb a certain amount of heat to maintain the temperature inside the battery pack within a suitable temperature range. When the temperature inside the battery pack is low, the phase change material can play a latent heat role and release heat to keep the temperature of the battery pack within a suitable temperature range. However, the heat storage capacity of the phase change material in the battery pack is not constant, but will change with the design parameters of the phase change material. For example, different types of phase change materials have different heat storage capacities, or the same type of phase change material has different quality, resulting in different heat storage capacities of the phase change materials in the battery pack. Therefore, in one embodiment, the current operating scenario data also includes material parameters of the phase change material.
[0085] It is not difficult to see that compared with the traditional battery thermal management strategy that only uses the battery temperature as an indicator parameter, this embodiment introduces phase change material parameters, so that when the battery pack is thermally managed, the final temperature of the battery pack is the temperature reached by both the phase change material and the battery cell. In this way, the phase change material in the battery pack can be determined according to the mission airspace and flight mission to determine whether the phase change material needs to store heat in advance on the ground and then reach the target airspace to release latent heat to keep the battery warm, or after cooling on the ground, the phase change material absorbs the heat emitted by the battery cell in the target airspace and uses the latent heat to cool the battery.
[0086] Moreover, the introduction of the material parameters of the phase change material enables the target battery temperature finally determined to enable the phase change material in the battery pack to exert better temperature control capabilities, so as to avoid the situation where the temperature in the battery pack is too high, resulting in the failure of the phase change material to maintain the temperature in the battery pack within the appropriate temperature range after completely absorbing the heat, and to avoid the situation where the temperature in the battery pack is too low, resulting in the failure of the phase change material to maintain the temperature in the battery pack within the appropriate temperature range after completely releasing the heat. In addition, the introduction of the material parameters of the phase change material into the current operating scenario data can make the thermal management of the phase change material during charging not limited to the change of phase state, but to accurately adjust the temperature of the battery cell and the phase change material during charging, so that the heat stored in the phase change material or the ability to absorb heat during takeoff can meet the mission requirements, thereby improving the accuracy of thermal management.
[0087] Specifically, the material parameters include at least one of the phase change temperature, material mass, three-dimensional thermal conductivity and phase change latent heat value. Among them, the phase change temperature is the property of the phase change material itself, which is the critical temperature at which the phase change material changes from one phase to another. The material mass is the total mass of the phase change material inside a battery pack, or the mass of each independent phase change module between two battery cells, or the material mass can also be the collection of the masses of all phase change modules. The three-dimensional thermal conductivity is the thermal conductivity of the battery pack with phase change modules as a whole in all directions. The latent heat value of phase change is the property of the phase change material itself, which is used to quantify the heat absorbed or released when the phase change material changes from one phase to another at a certain temperature.
[0088] In addition, the ground charging thermal management equipment obtains information such as battery cell type, thermal model parameters, system composition, thermal management mode (liquid cooling or air cooling), cooling medium type (immersion liquid type or gas type), box pressure, battery temperature, etc. by reading battery information. This can avoid confusion in thermal management methods for battery packs of different types and specifications, and avoid the mixed application of different heat exchange fluids.
[0089] In addition, as mentioned above, the battery system output power is high during takeoff and landing, and the battery generates a lot of heat. Therefore, in addition to the level flight stage, the takeoff and landing stages also need to be included in the scope of thermal management considerations. Therefore, in one embodiment, the flight mission information also includes the takeoff ambient temperature information of the takeoff site. The takeoff ambient temperature information can be the ground temperature information of the airport.
[0090] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the flight mission information further includes landing environment temperature information of the landing destination, wherein the landing environment temperature information may be ground temperature information of the landing destination.
[0091] Of course, in another embodiment, the flight mission information also includes takeoff environment temperature information of the takeoff environment and landing environment temperature information of the landing destination.
[0092] It is not difficult to see that in this embodiment, the ambient temperature of the level flight stage, as well as the ambient temperature of the take-off and landing stages, is comprehensively considered to ensure the temperature uniformity of the battery pack of the aircraft during flight, thereby improving the thermal management effect. In addition, this embodiment also takes into account the impact of the length of the level flight stage, as well as the length of the take-off and landing stages on the heating of the battery, thereby further ensuring the temperature uniformity of the battery pack of the aircraft during flight, thereby improving the thermal management effect.
[0093] In addition, when the battery is charging, the battery itself will also generate heat. In order to ensure that the battery pack is within a suitable temperature range, while maximizing the system charging rate and reducing the ground charging time, in one embodiment, the current operation scenario data also includes charging task information.
[0094] That is, in this embodiment, thermal management parameters such as target battery temperature are also adjusted according to charging conditions. Specifically, the charging task information includes at least one of the maximum charging time, the battery system state before charging, the target battery system state, and the maximum charging power that the ground equipment can provide.
[0095] The maximum charging time is less than or equal to the ground preparation phase time configured by the aircraft operator. In addition, the maximum charging time is also determined by the maximum charging power that the ground equipment can provide.
[0096] In addition, the ground charging thermal management equipment can check the subsequent flight missions, destinations, maximum charging power that ground equipment can provide, mission airspace temperature information, and flight profile information of the current aircraft from the airport operation server based on the aircraft information read. Then, the ground charging thermal management equipment generates the target battery temperature, target battery system status, and ground preparation phase duration based on the above data information. The generated ground preparation phase duration is used to guide the ground operation service time nodes, including but not limited to the ground maintenance operation process and the time of each stage, the passenger disembarkation and boarding process time, the cabin thermal management and device preparation time, and the takeoff and landing guidance and airspace guidance of multiple aircraft.
[0097] The system status before charging includes but is not limited to the state of charge of the battery pack. For example, during the ground maintenance phase, the ground charging thermal management device is connected to the designated interface of the aircraft through a dedicated connector, and the flight status information is transmitted to the ground charging thermal management device through the communication cable in the designated interface. The battery charge SOC in the flight status information is the battery system status before charging.
[0098] The target system state is obtained by the aircraft operator according to the flight mission configuration. For example, a mission requires that the battery pack of the aircraft needs to be charged to 100% SOC.
[0099] It is understandable that the temperature of the battery pack is specifically adjusted by the heat exchange fluid introduced. The aircraft also has requirements for the duration of the ground maintenance phase. Therefore, in one embodiment, when the ground charging thermal management device executes step S20, specifically:
[0100] The target battery temperature and target heat exchange fluid parameters corresponding to the current operating scenario data are matched.
[0101] Among them, the aircraft includes a heat exchange fluid interface connected to the battery cavity, and the ground charging thermal management equipment is constructed to provide heat exchange fluid to the aircraft when connected to the heat exchange fluid interface, so that the heat exchange fluid is filled into the battery cavity to exchange heat with the phase change material and / or battery cell.
[0102] Accordingly, when the ground charging thermal management device executes step S30, specifically: based on the target heat exchange fluid parameters, the heat exchange fluid is provided to the aircraft so that the battery temperature of the battery pack reaches and is maintained at the target battery temperature during the charging process.
[0103] Specifically, the target heat exchange fluid parameters of this embodiment include at least one of the heat exchange fluid type, heat exchange fluid inlet temperature, heat exchange fluid flow rate, heat exchange fluid passage time, and heat exchange fluid liquid direction switching strategy.
[0104] The heat exchange fluid type is the type of heat exchange fluid, including but not limited to deionized water, electronic fluoride liquid, hydrocarbons, esters or silicone oils. Since different types of heat exchange fluids have different heat exchange efficiencies and / or preparation efficiencies, in order to complete charging within the required ground maintenance phase duration, it is necessary to select a suitable heat exchange fluid.
[0105] The heat exchange fluid inlet temperature is the temperature of the heat exchange fluid output by the thermal management module. It is understandable that the same type of heat exchange fluid has different temperatures during heat exchange, which will also significantly affect the heat exchange time for the battery pack to reach the target battery temperature and the temperature that the battery finally reaches.
[0106] The duration of the heat exchange fluid introduction is determined according to the duration of the ground maintenance phase, that is, before the duration of the ground maintenance phase is reached, the ground charging thermal management equipment needs to be separated from the aircraft.
[0107] The heat exchange fluid liquid direction switching strategy includes but is not limited to the flow direction switching time interval and the flow direction switching frequency. It is understandable that after the heat exchange fluid enters the battery cavity through the first battery cavity hole or the second battery cavity hole, the heat exchange fluid exchanges heat with the battery cell and / or phase change material to change the temperature. If the flow direction is not changed, the thermal management effect of the part that contacts the heat exchange fluid first is always better, while the thermal management effect of the part that contacts the heat exchange fluid later is insufficient. Therefore, by adjusting the flow direction of the heat exchange fluid, the battery as a whole can be evenly heated or cooled to the target battery temperature.
[0108] In addition, it is worth mentioning that Figure 2 Before charging the battery, it can be determined whether the battery temperature meets the charging conditions. If the battery temperature does not meet the charging conditions, the parameters of the heat exchange fluid are designed to meet the charging conditions, and the heat exchange fluid is provided first to make the battery temperature meet the charging conditions. After monitoring that the battery temperature meets the charging conditions, charging is performed until the battery pack reaches the target battery temperature and the battery pack reaches the set power.
[0109] It is not difficult to see that compared with the traditional battery thermal management strategy that only uses battery temperature as an indicator parameter, this embodiment introduces battery charging conditions as a reference indicator, combines the charging strategy with the thermal management strategy, and adjusts the thermal management parameters according to the charging conditions to ensure that the battery is within the target temperature range while maximizing the system charging rate and reducing the ground charging time.
[0110] In addition, when the ground charging thermal management device executes step S20, it can specifically query the preset thermal management strategy table to match and obtain the target charging thermal management parameters corresponding to the current operating scenario data.
[0111] Among them, the preset thermal management strategy table includes a mapping relationship between operating scenario data and charging thermal management parameters; the charging thermal management parameters include battery temperature and heat exchange fluid parameters.
[0112] It can be understood that the ground charging thermal management device internally maintains a preset thermal management strategy table, which stores the mapping relationship between the operating scenario data and the charging thermal management parameters, so that the ground charging thermal management device can quickly query and obtain the corresponding target thermal management parameters.
[0113] Alternatively, when the ground charging thermal management device executes step S20, specifically: inputting the current operating scenario data into the thermal management model to obtain the target charging thermal management parameters output by the thermal management model.
[0114] The thermal management model is trained using thermal management training samples. The features of the thermal management training samples include operating scenario data. The labels of the thermal management training samples are corresponding charging thermal management parameters.
[0115] It is understandable that in this implementation, the operation scenario data can be used as the input data of the model, and the corresponding charging thermal management parameters can be used as the output data of the model to train an AI (Artificial Intelligence) model, so that the AI model can learn the corresponding relationship between the operation scenario data and the charging thermal management parameters. It is understandable that the specific AI model can be a Transformer model, a deep reinforcement learning model, a generative adversarial network (GAN), a self-supervised learning model, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0116] In addition, because different structural specifications of batteries have different parameters such as battery temperature, DC internal resistance, AC internal resistance, voltage, current, etc. corresponding to different SOC under different ambient temperatures and different charging rates, the thermal characteristics of batteries with different structural specifications are different. The thermal characteristics of batteries will affect the specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity of batteries, resulting in the corresponding relationship between battery packs with different structural specifications and their own operating scenario data and charging thermal management parameters.
[0117] Therefore, when the ground charging thermal management device executes step S20, it can specifically: determine the corresponding preset thermal management strategy table based on the characteristic parameters of the battery pack; query the preset thermal management strategy table, and match the target charging thermal management parameters corresponding to the current operating scenario data.
[0118] Alternatively, when the ground charging thermal management device executes step S20, it may specifically: determine the corresponding thermal management model based on the characteristic parameters of the battery pack; input the current operating scenario data into the thermal management model to obtain the target charging thermal management parameters output by the thermal management model.
[0119] Among them, the characteristic parameters of the battery pack can be the model of the battery pack, and can also include but are not limited to specific parameters such as battery temperature, DC internal resistance, AC internal resistance, voltage, current, etc. corresponding to different SOCs under different ambient temperatures, different charging rates, etc.
[0120] In this way, the database of the ground charging thermal management equipment or the cloud can pre-store the characteristic parameters of the battery packs of all aircraft in operation at the airport, as well as the thermal management models or preset thermal management strategy tables corresponding to different battery packs. Then, during a single thermal management task, the ground charging thermal management equipment uses the characteristic parameters of the battery pack as input data to match the corresponding thermal management model or preset thermal management strategy table.
[0121] It is not difficult to see that in this embodiment, corresponding thermal management models or preset thermal management strategy tables are pre-built for battery packs with different characteristic parameters, thereby further improving the thermal management accuracy.
[0122] The preset thermal management strategy table or thermal management model can be obtained in the following ways:
[0123] (1) Obtain the thermal model of the aircraft’s battery pack and multiple sets of flight data;
[0124] (2) Perform simulations and / or experiments based on the thermal model and flight data to generate a preset thermal management strategy table or thermal management training samples.
[0125] Specifically, the aircraft support personnel or battery pack designers can determine the battery temperature curve, DC internal resistance curve, AC internal resistance curve, voltage curve, current curve and other parameter curves corresponding to different SOCs under different ambient temperatures and different charge and discharge rates. Then measure the thermal characteristic parameters of the battery pack under different ambient temperature conditions, and establish a thermal model of the battery pack based on the various curves and thermal characteristic parameters obtained above. Among them, the thermal characteristic parameters include but are not limited to specific heat capacity and three-dimensional thermal conductivity.
[0126] After obtaining the thermal model and verifying its reliability, the thermal management module can be used to predict the heat exchange of the battery pack during the thermal management time based on the operating conditions of the thermal model in different flight scenarios reflected by multiple sets of flight data. Then the thermal management parameters when the thermal management module controls the battery to reach this temperature are determined. That is, the corresponding thermal management parameters are designed in combination with the ambient temperature conditions, thermal management conditions, and the operating conditions of the battery itself in the flight data.
[0127] Then, a thermal management simulation model can be established for simulation, and simulation result data can be obtained. After the design requirements are met, experiments can be conducted using physical batteries or physical batteries with reduced scale. Finally, a preset thermal management strategy table is obtained by fitting the simulation result data and the experimental result data. Of course, thermal management training samples required for training AI models can also be generated based on the simulation result data and the experimental result data, and then a thermal management model can be obtained by training based on this.
[0128] In addition, after the ground charging thermal management equipment is connected to the aircraft, it can query historical maintenance information from the server based on the read battery information, including but not limited to historical flight records, battery life curves, historical thermal management curves, etc., so that the target charging thermal management parameters can be appropriately adjusted based on the historical maintenance information.
[0129] Exemplarily, in order to help understand the implementation process of the battery charging thermal management method obtained by combining this embodiment with the above-mentioned embodiment 1, two examples are shown below:
[0130] Example 1:
[0131] The operating scenario data is: the ground ambient temperature is -20℃, and the battery system needs to be heated before the first takeoff in the morning after the aircraft has been parked for one night. The ground preparation phase is set to 1 hour, at which time the battery system is in a 50% SOC state. Charging can begin after the minimum temperature of the battery system reaches 0℃. Subsequent flight conditions require that the battery system be charged to 100% SOC before takeoff. During the flight, the takeoff phase lasts about 3 minutes at an ambient temperature of -20℃ at the takeoff site, and the subsequent flight area has an air temperature of -30℃ to -20℃, with a flight time of about 30 minutes. The landing ambient temperature is 0℃, and the landing time is about 2 minutes. The battery cell is a soft-pack cell, using a phase change material with a phase change temperature of 35℃ (or any model between 25℃ and 45℃), and a phase change latent heat of 120J / kg.
[0132] Consult the preset thermal management strategy table to determine the recommended thermal management parameters:
[0133] When heated to takeoff, the target temperature is 35°C, and the temperature difference is less than 5°C. The default fluorinated liquid inlet temperature curve, inlet flow curve, and default heat exchange fluid liquid direction switching strategy are recommended.
[0134] After the battery system heats up during takeoff, it uses the latent heat of the phase change material to dissipate heat when flying for 30 minutes in a -20°C environment to offset or reduce the impact of the ambient temperature on the battery system, keeping the battery temperature between 25°C and 45°C during the full-profile flight.
[0135] Example 2:
[0136] The operating scenario data is: the ground ambient temperature is 40℃, and the battery system needs to be cooled down before the next takeoff after the aircraft stops. The ground preparation phase is set to 30 minutes, at which time the battery system is in 50% SOC state. Charging can begin after the maximum temperature of the battery system reaches 35℃. Subsequent flight conditions require that the battery system be charged to 100% SOC before takeoff. During the flight, the takeoff phase lasts about 3 minutes when the ambient temperature at the takeoff site is 40℃. The air temperature in the subsequent flight area is about 40℃ to 50℃, and the flight time is about 20 minutes. The ambient temperature at the landing site is 50℃, and the landing time is about 2 minutes.
[0137] The battery cell is a soft-pack cell, using phase change material with a phase change temperature of 40°C (can also be any model between 25°C and 45°C), and a phase change latent heat of 120J / kg.
[0138] Consult the preset thermal management strategy table to determine the recommended thermal management parameters:
[0139] When cooling to takeoff, the target temperature is 25°C, and the temperature difference is less than 5°C. The default fluorinated liquid inlet temperature curve, inlet flow curve and default heat exchange fluid liquid direction switching strategy are recommended.
[0140] After ground charging and thermal management are completed, the aircraft will proceed to the next stage of operation. After the battery system has heated up during takeoff, it absorbs the external environment heat through the latent heat of the phase change material when flying for 20 minutes at 50°C to offset or reduce the impact on the battery system, keeping the battery temperature between 25°C and 45°C during the full-profile flight.
