Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery cell testing technology, specifically to a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium for synchronous linkage testing of battery cells. Background Technology

[0002] Rigorous testing of battery cells before they leave the factory is crucial, as it not only affects battery performance but also directly impacts their safety, reliability, and lifespan. Cell testing systems are primarily used to evaluate and optimize battery cell performance by precisely controlling current and voltage to perform charge and discharge tests. This system can monitor parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature of the cells in real time and assess their performance and health status based on this data.

[0003] Currently, mainstream battery cell testing systems on the market perform charge-discharge tests on cells using single-channel or multi-channel parallel connections. Single-channel testing can only test one cell at a time, with the testing process being independent, suitable for small-scale or specific testing needs. Multi-channel testing improves testing efficiency by testing multiple cells simultaneously through multiple independent control channels, but the testing processes of each cell remain independent, making it impossible to achieve complex synchronous and coordinated testing. In certain specific application scenarios, such as the performance evaluation of battery packs or battery modules, where it is necessary to simulate the interaction and collaborative work between cells, existing battery cell testing systems cannot meet the requirements for synchronous and coordinated testing of multiple test objects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for synchronous linkage testing of battery cells, which effectively solves the problem that the existing battery cell testing system cannot meet the synchronous linkage testing of multiple test objects.

[0007] Set the test steps for the multi-channel linkage group, and set pause recognition for each test step;

[0008] When the test steps are executed, each test step in the member channels of the multi-channel linkage group is started synchronously. If a member channel triggers the pause recognition, the current test steps of all member channels are paused.

[0009] If all member channels are paused, all member channels will be started synchronously to continue executing the next test step until the test ends and the test results are obtained.

[0010] Furthermore, the method also includes:

[0011] Set a synchronization safety protection threshold for each of the test steps. If a member channel triggers the synchronization safety protection threshold, then pause the test of the multi-channel linkage group and troubleshoot the fault.

[0012] Furthermore, the step of creating a multi-channel linkage group based on the test requirement information of each test channel of the cell testing system includes:

[0013] Obtain the test requirement information for each of the test channels, and divide the multiple test channels that need to be tested in conjunction with each other according to the test requirement information to obtain at least one linkage group;

[0014] Set the group name for the linkage group, and each group name shall be different;

[0025] The step setting module is used to set the test steps of the multi-channel linkage group and set a pause recognition for each test step;

[0026] The synchronous waiting module is used to execute the test steps. In the multi-channel linkage group, each member channel starts the test steps synchronously. If a member channel triggers the pause recognition, the current test steps of all member channels are paused.

[0027] The test execution module is used to synchronously start all the member channels and continue to execute the next test step until the test ends, if all the member channels are paused, and obtain the test results.

[0028] Furthermore, the device also includes:

This allows for simultaneous, synchronized testing of multiple battery cells without physical series connection, effectively isolating problematic cells from other cells during testing. Furthermore, by processing multiple channels in parallel, the overall task completion time is significantly shortened.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0047] Currently, mainstream battery cell testing systems on the market perform charge-discharge tests on cells using single-channel or multi-channel parallel connections. Single-channel testing can only test one cell at a time, with the testing process being independent, suitable for small-scale or specific testing needs. Multi-channel testing improves testing efficiency by testing multiple cells simultaneously through multiple independent control channels, but the testing processes of each cell remain independent, making it impossible to achieve complex synchronous and coordinated testing. In certain specific application scenarios, such as the performance evaluation of battery packs or battery modules, where it is necessary to simulate the interaction and collaborative work between cells, existing battery cell testing systems cannot meet the requirements for synchronous and coordinated testing of multiple test objects.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] This invention provides a method for synchronous and coordinated testing of battery cells, effectively solving the problem that existing battery cell testing systems cannot meet the requirements for synchronous and coordinated testing of multiple test objects. The method provided by this invention is applied to a battery cell testing system, which may include, but is not limited to, a charge / discharge machine or other battery cell testing systems. The battery cell testing system includes multiple test channels, each connected to a battery cell. Figure 1 This is a first flowchart of the cell synchronization and linkage testing method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0050] S100. Create a multi-channel linkage group based on the test requirements information of each test channel of the cell test system.

[0051] Figure 2 This is the second flowchart of the cell synchronization and linkage testing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the creation of a multi-channel linkage group includes the following steps:

[0052] S110. Obtain the test requirement information for each test channel, and divide the multiple test channels that need to be tested in conjunction with each other according to the test requirement information to obtain at least one linkage group.

[0053] In a battery cell testing system, the testing requirements for each test channel are typically based on multiple aspects, including the cell's safety performance, environmental adaptability, and physical durability. Based on these requirements, multiple test channels requiring coordinated testing can be divided into one or more coordinated groups. For example, multiple test channels requiring safety performance testing can be grouped into one coordinated group to comprehensively evaluate the cell's safety performance under extreme conditions such as short circuits, internal short circuits, heavy object impacts, and drops. Test channels within this coordinated group will perform the same test steps, while test channels outside the group will maintain an independent testing mode.

[0054] S120. Set the group name for the linkage group. Each group name should be different.

[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, in order to ensure the uniqueness of the group name of the linkage group, when setting the group name of a certain linkage group, the group names of other linkage groups are read and compared at the same time. If the same group name is found, a prompt is given to avoid the duplication of group names.

[0056] Optionally, operations such as adding, deleting, querying, and modifying can be performed on each linkage group as a whole. For example, when setting up the overall group, the tester sets up 4 overall groups, but during the test, due to changes in requirements, only 2 linkage groups are needed. In this case, 2 linkage groups can be deleted.

[0057] S130. Adjust the multiple test channels in the linkage group, set a unique identifier for each test channel, and obtain a multi-channel linkage group.

[0058] The content of multiple test channels within the linkage group can be adjusted according to actual testing needs. For example, test channels can be added or deleted, and the test channels within the linkage group can be sorted. Each test channel in the linkage group needs to be assigned a unique identifier for differentiation within the group.

[0059] By rationally dividing and linking the various test channels of the battery cell testing system according to the test requirements, not only can the testing efficiency be improved, but also the performance of the battery cell in all aspects can be comprehensively evaluated.

[0060] S200, set up the test steps for multi-channel linkage groups, and set pause recognition for each test step.

[0061] Figure 3 This is the third flowchart of the cell synchronization and linkage testing method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the test steps for setting up a multi-channel linkage group include the following:

[0062] S210. Set the test step status of the multi-channel linkage group. The test step status includes at least charging, discharging, pause and shelving status.

[0063] In this embodiment of the invention, a state machine is designed for each multi-channel linkage group to set the test step states and control the state transitions of the test channels within the group. The state machine should include all possible test step states, including but not limited to charging, discharging, paused, and shelved states.

[0064] S220. Set the state transition logic and state parameters according to the test step status to obtain the test steps of the multi-channel linkage group.

[0065] Each test step is configured with specific state transition logic and state parameters, including but not limited to charging current and discharging voltage. These state parameters are ensured to be correctly applied to all test channels within the multi-channel linkage group. The multi-channel linkage grouping introduces the identification of state bits for each test channel in the group to achieve linkage. State bit identification identifies states such as charging, discharging, paused, and suspended within the test step. The state bit is the coupling between the test step state and the specific state parameters.

[0066] Figure 4 This is the fourth flowchart of the cell synchronization and linkage testing method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, setting a pause recognition for each test step includes the following steps:

[0067] S230, Set to trigger pause recognition after each test step is completed.

[0068] The channels within a multi-channel linkage group can simultaneously initiate any test step for cell testing. Upon completion of any test step, a pause recognition mechanism is set to achieve multi-channel synchronous waiting functionality. This synchronous waiting function references a pause command in the cell testing system, while simultaneously overlaying the recognition of the status bits of each test channel within the multi-channel linkage group, thereby enabling the synchronous initiation of any test step.

[0069] S240. Set the cutoff condition for each test step. When the cutoff condition is met, trigger a pause in recognition.

[0070] Optionally, cutoff conditions can be set for each test step, including but not limited to cell voltage, cell capacity, test current, and test time. When any test channel in the multi-channel linkage group reaches the cutoff condition of any step, a pause identification mechanism is triggered, the test channel pauses testing, and the cell testing system simultaneously sends a pause identification command to other test channels in the multi-channel linkage group. Each test channel receives the pause identification command and pauses testing synchronously.

[0071] S300: Execute the test steps. In the multi-channel linkage group, each member channel starts the test steps synchronously. If a member channel triggers a pause recognition, the current test steps of all member channels are paused.

[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, a command is sent to the cell testing system to execute test steps. Member channels in the multi-channel linkage group start synchronously and begin executing each test step sequentially. During the execution of a test step, if a member channel triggers the pause recognition for the current test step, all member channels are paused from executing the current test step. Through software and hardware coordination, the time taken from the pause of the first test channel to the pause of all test channels in the multi-channel linkage group does not exceed 1 second. Specifically, the software design at the underlying code level needs to consider the delay in the cell testing system's identification of test channels and the issuance of commands, while the hardware design ensures that the signal connection lines between the device control computer and the intermediate unit are kept within a reasonable length.

[0073] S500: If all member channels are paused, all member channels will be started synchronously to continue executing the next test step until the test ends and the test results are obtained.

[0074] Optionally, when all member channels in the multi-channel linkage group enter the pause test, a command is sent to the cell testing system, and all member channels synchronously start to continue executing the next test step. At the same time, through the cooperation of the software and hardware, it is ensured that all member channels enter the next test step within 1 second. Steps S300 and S500 are repeated until the test ends and the test results are obtained.

[0075] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention Figure 5 This is the fifth flowchart of the cell synchronization and linkage testing method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the method also includes the following steps:

[0076] S400: Set the synchronization safety protection threshold for each test step. If a member channel triggers the synchronization safety protection threshold, pause the test of the multi-channel linkage group and troubleshoot the fault.

[0077] To ensure the safety of simultaneous testing of multiple battery cells, a synchronization safety protection threshold is set for each test step. This threshold includes, but is not limited to, cell voltage threshold, cell temperature threshold, and test current threshold. When any member channel in the multi-channel linkage group triggers the synchronization safety protection threshold, causing the test to stop, the cell testing system automatically sends a stop test command to the other member channels in the multi-channel linkage group, causing all member channels in the group to stop testing synchronously. After the protection fault is cleared, all member channels are restarted to continue testing, ensuring that all member channels continue testing under the same test step.

[0078] Optionally, member channels within a multi-channel linkage group cannot be reset during testing to ensure that the processes of each member channel are consistent, thereby preventing testing asynchrony issues caused by inconsistent processes.

[0079] The battery cell synchronous linkage testing method provided in this invention can realize the simultaneous linkage testing of multiple battery cells in the same step. When testing multiple battery cells, there is no need for physical series connection, which can effectively isolate the influence of problematic battery cells on other battery cells under testing. Furthermore, by processing multiple channels in parallel, the overall task completion time can be significantly shortened. Status bit recognition enables the battery cell testing system to accurately grasp the status and progress of each test channel, allowing for timely detection and handling of anomalies and reducing the system failure rate.

[0087] The synchronization protection module 640 is used to set the synchronization safety protection threshold for each test step. If a member channel triggers the synchronization safety protection threshold, the test of the multi-channel linkage group is suspended for troubleshooting.
