[0031] The terms used in the following embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be used as limitations to the present application. As used in the specification and appended claims of the present application, the singular expressions "one", "a kind of", "said", "above", "the" and "this" are intended to also include plural expressions, unless there is a clear indication to the contrary in the context. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used in the present application refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more listed items.

[0032] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, and in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0033] For ease of understanding, the following describes the structural framework of this application. Figure 1 , which is a schematic framework diagram of a method for testing gas production in battery storage in an embodiment of the present application.

[0034] exist Figure 1In the test, the gas production test equipment includes a balance, multiple temperature-controlled oil baths and slide rails. The upper part of the balance is usually designed with a slider structure that matches the slide rail. Its surface is smooth and finely processed to ensure smooth sliding on the slide rail. The slide rail is fixed to the bracket or frame on the top of the equipment. The material of the slide rail is generally high-strength steel to ensure that it can withstand the weight of the balance and the force generated during the sliding process. When the position of the balance needs to be adjusted, the operator can manually push the balance along the slide rail. The balance is a key component for accurately measuring the weight of the battery test object. During the test, the weight change of the battery test object is an important monitoring indicator. The battery test object includes but is not limited to battery cells, battery cathodes and cathodes, and battery slurry. As the battery is stored in the oil bath for a longer time and gas production reactions may occur, its weight will change. The balance can measure these weight changes in real time and accurately. The oil bath is used to hold silicone oil, which has good thermal stability and can maintain its chemical and physical properties stable over a wide temperature range. In the battery storage gas production test, it may be necessary to simulate different temperature environments. Silicone oil can meet a variety of test conditions from low temperature to high temperature. Silicone oil is also chemically inert and will not chemically react with the battery test object and the gas it may produce. The gas production test equipment can perform separate temperature control on each oil bath pot, and the oil bath environment can simulate the thermal environment of the battery during actual storage to a certain extent. In actual applications, the battery may be in different temperature environments. The stable temperature environment provided by the oil bath pot helps to study the gas production characteristics of the battery at a specific temperature, and provide more realistic data for battery safety assessment and quality control.

[0035] For ease of understanding, the following describes the process of the method provided by this implementation in combination with the above scenario. Figure 2 , is a flow chart of a method for testing gas production in battery storage in an embodiment of the present application.

[0036] S201, after receiving the oil bath temperature setting information sent by the user end, heating the silicone oil in the oil bath pot according to the oil bath temperature;

[0037] The gas production test equipment is equipped with a special temperature control module, which is closely connected to the oil bath and is responsible for adjusting the temperature of the silicone oil in the oil bath. The temperature control module contains a temperature sensor, a heating element, and a cooling element. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the silicone oil in real time and feeds back the temperature data to the controller of the gas production test equipment. The controller compares and analyzes the received feedback temperature data and the target temperature set by the user. If the feedback temperature is lower than the target temperature, the controller will start the heating element to heat the silicone oil, otherwise, it will start the cooling element to cool the silicone oil. Among them, the temperature of the silicone oil in each oil bath can be controlled individually by the controller.

[0038] S202, receiving test parameter data sent by the user end, the test parameter data at least including sampling time, battery test object mass and data storage path;

[0039] The gas production test equipment establishes a connection with the user end through a special communication interface. The user end can be the computer end used by the user. The user can set the sampling time for the battery test object on the user end operation interface. The sampling time refers to the specific time point for collecting relevant data (especially weight data) of the battery test object during the entire test process. Also on the user end operation interface, the user can enter the mass of the battery test object. The user may need to use a balance or other measuring tools to pre-measure the mass of the battery test object according to the actual situation, and enter the accurate value into the corresponding text box. In addition, the user also needs to set the data storage path. The data storage path can be a folder on the local hard disk or a specific location on a network storage device. In order to ensure the security and manageability of the data, encrypted storage can be used.

[0040] S203, after determining that the target battery to be tested is associated with the oil bath and the balance according to a preset method, receiving a start test instruction sent by the user terminal;

[0041] The gas production test equipment may be equipped with a specific fixture and a bracket. The fixture is used to clamp the target battery to be tested, and the bracket is used to hang multiple fixtures, which can be set on the upper part of the oil bath pot. When it is necessary to determine the association between the target battery to be tested and the gas production test equipment, it is necessary to first bind the first identification code on the aviation plug with the number corresponding to the battery to be tested. When the gas production test equipment receives the aviation plug number binding instruction sent by the user through the user end, it will start the internal identification and binding program. First, the device will establish a communication connection with the aviation plug through the aviation plug interface and read the first identification code on the aviation plug. This first identification code can be a unique code, such as a QR code, barcode or digital code generated by a specific coding rule. The software system inside the device will match the read first identification code with the number corresponding to the battery to be tested entered by the user on the operation interface. The software system here can use database management technology to store all battery test object numbers and corresponding aviation plug identification code information in a database. When receiving the binding instruction, the system will search for the corresponding record in the database and perform a matching operation.

[0042] In order to ensure the accuracy of binding, a verification mechanism can be set during the matching process. For example, if the first identification code read does not match the existing record in the database, the system will issue an alarm to prompt the user to check whether the aviation plug or battery test object number is correct. At the same time, in order to improve efficiency, an automatic matching algorithm can be used. After entering the battery test object number, the system can automatically search for possible matching aviation plug identification codes in the database, reducing the time for users to manually search. In addition, for the convenience of management, the binding operation can be recorded. After each successful binding, the system will record the relevant information of the binding, such as binding time, operator, battery test object number and aviation plug identification code, in a log file. In this way, the binding history of each battery test object can be clearly understood during subsequent inquiries and tracing. When the user uses the balance's barcode scanner to scan the second identification code on the fixture, the barcode scanner will transmit the read information to the gas production test equipment. The barcode scanner can use high-precision optical scanning technology to quickly and accurately read the second identification code in the form of a QR code or barcode on the fixture.

[0043] The control system inside the device will parse and process the received second identification code. It will first determine whether the identification code conforms to the coding rules set by the device. If it does, it will search for the target battery test object information corresponding to the identification code in the storage system inside the device. In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of code scanning, the barcode scanner can be equipped with some auxiliary functions. For example, the barcode scanner can have autofocus and optical image stabilization functions to ensure that the identification code can be clearly read under different light and distance conditions. At the same time, in order to avoid mis-scanning, a confirmation button can also be set on the barcode scanner. Only when the user presses the confirmation button will the barcode scanner transmit the read information to the device. In the process of associating the target battery test object with the balance, the device will make some settings and adjustments to the balance. For example, the device will automatically adjust the measurement accuracy, range and other parameters of the balance according to the relevant information of the target battery test object, such as mass range, test requirements, etc., so as to ensure that the balance can provide the most accurate measurement results when measuring the target battery test object.

[0044] Once the user has determined that the target battery under test is associated with the balance and the oil bath, a button or control similar to "Start Test" can be clicked to initiate the test.

[0045] S204, controlling the balance to sample the weight of the target battery to be tested according to the test start instruction at the sampling time, and obtaining a plurality of weight data at a plurality of time points;

[0046] After receiving the test start instruction, the controller of the gas production test equipment will accurately control the measurement operation of the balance according to the preset sampling time sequence. There is a high-precision clock module inside the controller, which can accurately time and ensure that the balance performs weight measurement at each set sampling time point. For example, if the sampling time is set to measure once every 1 hour, the controller will trigger the balance to perform measurement operation at every hour. It is crucial to place the balance in a stable environment. For this purpose, shock-absorbing devices such as rubber shock-absorbing pads or spring shock absorbers are set around the balance. These shock-absorbing devices can effectively absorb external vibrations and prevent vibrations from being transmitted to the balance and affecting the measurement results.

[0047] During the test, the aviation plug not only connects the circuit, but also contains information that can reflect the electrical characteristics of the battery under test. The circuit design inside the aviation plug enables it to be connected to the electrodes of the battery under test in a specific way, which can obtain the voltage signal of the battery under test. The aviation plug then transmits the obtained voltage signal to the gas production test equipment, and the gas production test equipment will send the voltage value to the set area of ​​the display end for display according to the settings and layout of the display end.

[0048] S205, after determining the volume change of the target battery to be tested according to the plurality of weight data, determining the test result according to the volume change, the information corresponding to the target battery to be tested and the oil bath pot;

[0049] Combining Newton's law (Formula 1) and Archimedes' law of buoyancy (Formula 2), the tension of the battery test object in silicone oil is measured in real time by a balance, and the volume of the battery test object is further converted (Formula 3).

[0050] The gravitational acceleration g is 9.8m / s2, 0.971g / ml (25℃), The pulling force of the balance on the battery under test can be obtained from the balance. is the buoyancy of the battery test object on the silicone oil, is the volume of the battery under test.

[0051] When considering the information corresponding to the target battery test object and the oil bath, the temperature of the oil bath is an important factor. This is because the temperature will affect the density of the silicone oil and the state of the gas inside the battery test object. If the temperature of the oil bath changes, the density of the silicone oil will also change, which requires the above volume calculation formula to be corrected. A temperature sensor can be set in the oil bath to monitor the temperature of the oil bath in real time, and then the density of the silicone oil can be updated in real time based on the relationship curve between temperature and silicone oil density. For example, if the temperature increases, the density of the silicone oil will decrease, so the updated silicone oil density value needs to be used when calculating the volume change.

[0052] In addition, the placement of the battery test object in the oil bath may also affect the test results. If the battery test object is placed in different positions of the oil bath, it may be affected by different temperature distributions and heat transfer effects. To avoid this, a uniform heating device can be set in the oil bath to ensure uniform temperature distribution in the oil bath. At the same time, thermal insulation materials can be set around the battery test object to reduce heat loss and uneven distribution.

[0053] S206: The test result is stored according to the data storage path and then sent to the user end for display.

[0054] In terms of data storage, in order to facilitate data management and query, users can name and classify data according to certain rules. For example, data can be named according to information such as test date, battery model, test batch, etc., so that the required data can be located more efficiently when querying data later. In terms of user-side display, it is necessary to ensure that the display is intuitive and easy to understand. Different parameter display contents are determined according to the test results, such as volume change curve, temperature change curve, etc. Professional drawing software or toolkits can be used to draw these curves to make them more beautiful and intuitive. At the same time, the experimental parameters during the test process, such as sampling time, battery test mass, oil bath temperature, etc., can also be displayed on the user side, so that users can better understand the test process and results. In order to improve the user experience, interactive functions can be set, such as users can click on the curve or parameter with the mouse to view more detailed information, such as the specific data value at a certain point in time.

[0055] More specifically, during the test, the weight of the battery to be tested is sampled at different time points by a balance to obtain multiple weight data, and the corresponding volume data is obtained in combination with step S205, and the volume data at different time points are sorted, and the volume change curve is drawn with time as the horizontal axis and volume as the vertical axis. This curve can intuitively reflect the volume change trend of the battery to be tested during the test, and help users understand the volume change caused by battery gas production. During the test, the oil bath pot is used to provide a stable temperature environment for the battery to be tested. A temperature sensor is provided inside the oil bath pot, which can monitor the temperature of the oil bath pot in real time. During the entire test process, the temperature sensor will continuously collect temperature data, and these temperature data will be drawn with time as the horizontal axis and temperature as the vertical axis to draw a temperature change curve. This curve can reflect the temperature change of the oil bath pot during the test, and can also indirectly reflect the temperature environment changes of the battery to be tested. The gas production test equipment will display these experimental parameters in different experimental parameter information areas of the display end according to a certain format.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, due to the technical means of receiving the oil bath temperature set by the user to heat the silicone oil, receiving the test parameter data, controlling the balance to sample the weight data according to the sampling time and determining the volume change based on the weight data and combining the oil bath pot information to determine the test result and storing and sending the test result to the user end for display, the technical problems of low efficiency of battery storage gas production test and inaccurate test caused by non-in-situ testing in the prior art are effectively solved, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency and accuracy of battery storage gas production test.

[0057] In some embodiments, in order to conduct the test more efficiently, a magnetic structure can be provided on the balance, and the magnetic structure includes an electromagnet, etc., which can fix the fixture by magnetic attraction. The fixture is a component used to clamp the battery to be tested. In order to cooperate with the use of the magnetic structure, the bottom of the fixture and the part that contacts the surface of the balance can be made of magnetic material or coated with a magnetic film, so that the magnetic structure can be used to stably adsorb the fixture. A positioning module and an image acquisition unit are provided on the balance so that the coordinate position of the fixture at the connection part between the balance and the fixture can be photographed and analyzed. The image acquisition unit can be installed at a certain height above the balance, and adjusted by the mounting bracket to ensure that its field of view can completely cover the measuring platform of the balance. The image acquisition unit can also capture the image information of which groove the user places the fixture of the battery to be tested in. After image processing, the position of each battery to be tested can be determined. A plurality of frames with grooves are provided on the oil bath pot, and the shape of the groove matches the bottom of the fixture. The fixture can be placed in the groove for fixing. The frame can be a quadrilateral, which is adapted to the shape of the guide rail at the bottom of the balance block. The user can configure in advance on the display end which battery test objects in which oil bath pot each balance is to measure, and establish the corresponding relationship between the balance and the oil bath pot. During the test, the user selects the target battery test object on the display end, and the control system can automatically drive the balance to move to the corresponding oil bath pot frame according to the preset corresponding relationship. The drive system of the balance includes a motor, a lead screw transmission mechanism, etc., which can drive the balance to move horizontally on the slide rail. After the balance reaches the target position, the magnetic suction structure starts to absorb the fixture in the corresponding groove. After the fixture is adsorbed on the balance, the sensor in the balance can detect the connection of the fixture and establish a data association between the balance and the battery test object. The balance moves back to the initial position, starts the test, and corresponds the test data to the battery test object. After the test is completed, the data association is disconnected. The balance moves to the frame again, drives the magnetic suction structure to put the fixture back in place, and then tests the next battery test object, and repeats until all the measurement items set by the user are completed. In this way, the automatic handling and identification of battery test objects can be realized, and the test efficiency is improved.

[0058] After combining the above embodiments, the method provided by this embodiment is further described in more detail below. Figure 3 , is another flow chart of a method for testing gas production in battery storage in an embodiment of the present application.

[0059] S301, after receiving a user clicking a weight calibration control on the display terminal, sending a confirmation instruction to the display terminal to indicate whether the device is in an unloaded state;

[0060] Before the test, the user can click the weight calibration control on the display. When the gas production test equipment receives the operation instruction of the user clicking the weight calibration control on the display, the gas production test equipment will start the status detection of its various related components. For the balance component, it will activate the sensor system of the balance to perform self-inspection on the balance tray and related mechanical structures. The balance can accurately measure the slight weight changes on the tray, and its measurement accuracy can reach 0.0001g or even higher. By detecting the signal fed back by the balance, the device can preliminarily determine whether the balance is in an empty state. For example, if the weight value fed back by the sensor is within a very small reasonable range (such as ±0.0005g), it can be preliminarily considered that the balance may be in an empty state.

[0061] S302, after receiving the idle state instruction fed back by the display terminal, sending calibration prompt information to the display terminal;

[0062] The control system inside the device will read the preset calibration prompt information template from the storage unit. This template contains detailed calibration step instructions, matters that may need attention during the calibration process, and some guidance information for user operations. The calibration prompt information template is designed according to the specific characteristics and calibration requirements of the device. It can provide users with clear and accurate calibration guidance. After determining that it is in the no-load state, the calibration prompt information is sent to the display end to prompt the user to start weight calibration.

[0063] S303, after receiving a user clicking a calibration confirmation control according to the calibration prompt information, starting the calibration function until the calibration is successful, and sending a calibration success message to the display terminal;

[0064] The user can follow the calibration prompts, hang the weight of the set weight on the bracket inside the device, and then click a control similar to "OK" on the display end, waiting for the device to calibrate until the device prompts "Calibration successful". This can detect and adjust the sensor to ensure that it can accurately sense weight changes.

[0065] S304: Receiving the user's selection of the weight reset control, the weight baseline is reset.

[0066] Before the test begins, the "Real-time Weight" in the data display area should be zero, which means that the balance is in an unloaded state and the measurement reference is correct. If it is not zero, it means that the weight baseline may be deviated. This deviation may be due to the influence of the previous test operation, or there is a problem with the equipment during the initialization process. Resetting the weight baseline is to ensure that the balance can measure with the correct reference in the next test to avoid inaccurate measurement results due to baseline deviation. When the "Reset" control in the menu bar is clicked, the control system inside the device will first look for the current weight baseline setting, and the gas production test equipment will reset it to the default value or user-specified value based on the current weight baseline setting.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the technical means of performing weight calibration before heating the silicone oil, performing the calibration operation after sending a device no-load status confirmation instruction, and receiving a user's selection of a weight reset control to reset the weight baseline are adopted. Therefore, the problem of low reliability of test results caused by inaccurate balance in the prior art is effectively solved, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the reliability of test data.
