[0040] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant application, rather than to limit the application. It is also necessary to explain that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the application are shown in the drawings.

[0041] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application, that is, the features of the embodiments, can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0042] The following describes in detail a method, system, device and medium for determining a charging strategy for a power battery according to an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for determining a charging strategy for a power battery according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, a method for determining a charging strategy for a power battery according to an embodiment of the present application includes the following steps:

[0044] S101: Under preset conditions, charge and discharge operations are performed on a plurality of power batteries of the same type, respectively, wherein the plurality of power batteries are charged using different rate currents.

[0045] Multiple power batteries of the same type are, for example, lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system batteries. Generally speaking, when the power battery is a lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system, the reaction activity of the lithium iron phosphate material in the lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material is mainly in the low voltage area, while the reaction activity of the lithium manganese phosphate material is mainly in the high voltage area, so the first material activity interval is the lithium iron phosphate material interval; the second material activity interval is the lithium manganese phosphate material interval. At present, charging the battery based on the charging strategy corresponding to the material activity interval generally includes: determining that the material activity interval is the lithium manganese phosphate material interval, charging with the maximum output current of the charging device as the charging current until the battery voltage meets the full charge cut-off condition; and performing multiple constant voltage charging according to the preset full charge cut-off voltage. When the battery state enters the lithium manganese phosphate material interval, it means that the battery charge has entered the high-end SOC interval. The polarization impedance of the battery mainly comes from the positive electrode material. Under high current conditions, the negative electrode has not yet reached the lithium plating potential, and the battery quickly reaches the full charge cut-off voltage due to the large positive electrode polarization. It can be seen that in the lithium manganese phosphate material interval, the charging current of the battery can be unlimited. Therefore, this embodiment uses the maximum output current of the charging device as the charging current to charge until the battery voltage meets the full charge cut-off condition to maximize the charging speed, and then performs multiple constant voltage charging according to the full charge cut-off voltage to ensure that the battery is charged with sufficient power.

[0046] Taking lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system batteries as an example, the present application first charges and discharges multiple lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system batteries separately under preset conditions, wherein each lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system battery is charged using a different rate current, and the preset conditions include but are not limited to the surrounding ambient temperature and initial voltage range of the lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system batteries.

[0047] S102: After multiple charge and discharge operations, evaluate the structural integrity of each power battery.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, evaluating the structural integrity of each power battery includes: disassembling the power battery; obtaining microstructural characterization data of the pole piece of the disassembled power battery; and evaluating the microstructural integrity of the pole piece according to the microstructural characterization data of the pole piece of the power battery. In this example, obtaining the microstructural characterization data of the pole piece of the disassembled power battery includes: using any one of a scanning electron microscope SEM, a transmission electron microscope TEM, and a focused ion beam / scanning electron microscope FIB / SEM to perform microstructural characterization on the pole piece of the disassembled power battery to obtain the microstructural characterization data of the pole piece of the power battery.

[0049] Specifically, after multiple charges and discharges, the structural integrity of different lithium manganese iron phosphate composite material system batteries is evaluated; the rate current corresponding to the lithium manganese iron phosphate composite material system battery with the best structural integrity is selected as the preset charging current of the lithium manganese iron phosphate composite material system battery under the preset conditions.

[0050] Among them, evaluating the structural integrity of different lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system batteries includes: disassembling lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system batteries that have been charged and discharged multiple times; performing microstructural characterization on the pole pieces of the disassembled lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system batteries; and evaluating the microstructural integrity of the pole pieces based on the microstructural characterization data of the pole pieces. In a specific example, performing microstructural characterization on the pole pieces of the disassembled lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system batteries includes: performing microstructural characterization on the pole pieces of the disassembled lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system batteries using any one of a scanning electron microscope SEM, a transmission electron microscope TEM, and a focused ion beam / scanning electron microscope FIB / SEM.

[0051] S103: The rate current corresponding to the power battery with the best structural integrity is selected as the preset charging current of the power battery under the preset conditions. That is, the rate current corresponding to the lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system battery with the best structural integrity is selected as the preset charging current of the lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system battery under the preset conditions.

[0052] The method for determining the charging strategy of the power battery in the embodiment of the present application can determine a more suitable charging current, which is conducive to charging the power battery with the determined charging current. It can reduce the expansion stress and its change rate during the charging process, and reduce the mechanical impact on the battery microstructure, thereby achieving comprehensive optimization of multiple performance aspects of the battery, such as charging speed, cycle life, and safety risks.

[0053] Combination Figure 2 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiments, the method of the embodiments of the present application further includes: detecting the expansion force and voltage of each power battery during the charging process; generating characteristic curves of different rate currents with respect to the expansion force and voltage according to the detected expansion force and voltage, wherein the characteristic curve of the preset charging current with respect to the expansion force and voltage is a first characteristic curve, and the characteristic curves of the other rate currents with respect to the expansion force and voltage except the preset charging current are respectively a second characteristic curve; based on the charging speed and the expansion force, respectively comparing the first characteristic curve and each second characteristic curve in sections, and selecting the segmented charging current that meets the target principle in each section; combining the segmented charging currents of all the segments to generate a step charging current for the power battery under the preset conditions.

[0054] In this example, based on the charging speed and the expansion force, the first characteristic curve and each second characteristic curve are respectively compared in sections, and a sectioned charging current that meets the target principle is selected in each section, including: in each section comparison, all the second characteristic curves are grouped according to whether the curve trend is similar to the first characteristic curve, so as to obtain a first trend curve group with similar trends and a second trend curve group with different trends; the current with the highest rate among all the rate currents corresponding to the first trend curve group and the preset charging current is selected as the first characteristic current, and the current with the highest rate among all the rate currents corresponding to the second trend curve group is selected as the second characteristic current; the current with a low rate of change of expansion force between the first characteristic current and the second characteristic current is selected as the sectioned charging current of the section.

[0055] In the above example, before segmenting and comparing the first characteristic curve and each second characteristic curve based on the charging speed and the expansion force, for example, it includes: segmenting the first characteristic curve and the second characteristic curve according to the principle of equal division or using the intersection point between the first characteristic curve and the second characteristic curve as the segmentation point.

[0056] The characteristic curve is a first-order differential dP / dV curve, a first-order differential dP / dSOC curve or a second-order differential d2P / dV2 curve, wherein dP is the first-order differential of the expansion force of the lithium-ion battery, dV is the first-order differential of the voltage of the lithium-ion battery, and dSOC is the first-order differential of the capacity of the lithium-ion battery.

[0057] Specifically, the expansion force and voltage of different lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system batteries during the charging process are detected in real time; based on the detected expansion force and voltage, characteristic curves of different rate currents with respect to expansion force and voltage are generated, a preset charging current corresponds to a first characteristic curve, and other rate currents other than the preset charging current respectively correspond to a second characteristic curve; the first characteristic curve and the second characteristic curve are divided and proportioned according to the principle of balancing charging speed and expansion force, a segmented charging current that meets the principle in each segment is selected, and the segmented charging currents of all segments are combined to generate a step charging current for the lithium iron manganese phosphate composite material system battery under the preset conditions.

[0058] The first characteristic curve and the second characteristic curve are compared in sections according to the principle of taking both charging speed and expansion force into consideration, and the segmented charging current that meets this principle is selected in each section, specifically including: in each section comparison, all the second characteristic curves are divided into two groups according to whether the curve trend is similar to the first characteristic curve, namely a first trend curve group with similar trends and a second trend curve group with dissimilar trends, wherein the similar trend means that the slope difference between the two compared characteristic curves is within a preset range; the current with the highest rate among all the rate currents corresponding to the first trend curve group and the preset charging current is selected as the first characteristic current; the current with the highest rate among all the rate currents corresponding to the second trend curve group is selected as the second characteristic current; the current with the lowest rate of change of expansion force in the first characteristic current and the second characteristic current is selected as the segment charging current of the section. Among them, the first characteristic curve and the second characteristic curve can be segmented according to the principle of equal division or the principle of using the intersection point between the first characteristic curve and the second characteristic curve as the segmentation point. Figure 3 As shown, a first-order differential dP / dV curve and a first-order differential dP / dSOC curve are shown.

[0059] After determining the preset charging current, when the power battery is charged with the preset charging current, when the battery voltage meets the full charge cut-off condition, the method further includes: starting timing when the battery voltage reaches the preset full charge cut-off voltage; when the timing reaches the preset time length, determining that the battery voltage meets the full charge cut-off condition based on the battery voltage still reaching the full charge cut-off voltage.

[0060] By using the condition that the battery voltage reaches the full charge cut-off voltage and lasts for a certain period of time as the end condition for charging using the maximum output current, the authenticity of the battery voltage reaching the full charge cut-off voltage can be ensured. In one embodiment of the present application, the multiple constant voltage charging according to the preset full charge cut-off voltage includes: determining the floating range of the battery voltage according to the full charge cut-off voltage; charging with the maximum output current of the charging device as the initial charging current of the constant voltage charging, and adjusting the charging current to gradually decrease according to the first battery state to maintain the battery voltage within the floating range to complete a constant voltage charge. Each constant voltage charge (CV) is performed by adaptively adjusting the large charging current to continuously decrease to maintain the battery voltage floating near the full charge cut-off voltage to charge a certain amount of electricity. After multiple constant voltage charging adjustments, the battery is charged with enough electricity. Compared with the charging strategy of the prior art that causes the battery to be not fully charged, the battery charging capacity can be effectively increased, the battery service life can be increased, and the battery expansion force can be optimized. Figure 4 As shown, it can be clearly seen that by adopting the method of the embodiment of the present application, the life and expansion force of the power battery are better optimized.

[0061] According to the method for determining the charging strategy of the power battery in the embodiment of the present application, a more suitable charging current can be determined, which is conducive to charging the power battery with the determined charging current. The expansion stress and its change rate during the charging process can be reduced, and the mechanical impact on the battery microstructure can be reduced, thereby achieving comprehensive optimization of multiple performance aspects of the battery, such as charging speed, cycle life, and safety risks.

[0062] Figure 5 is a structural block diagram of a system for determining a charging strategy for a power battery according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, a charging strategy determination system for a power battery according to an embodiment of the present application includes: a charging and discharging control module 510, an evaluation module 520 and a determination module 530, wherein:

[0063] The charge and discharge control module 510 is used to perform charge and discharge operations on a plurality of power batteries of the same type under preset conditions, wherein the plurality of power batteries are charged using different rate currents;

[0064] An evaluation module 520, for evaluating the structural integrity of each power battery after multiple charge and discharge operations;

[0065] The determination module 530 is used to use the rate current corresponding to the power battery with the best structural completeness as the preset charging current of the power battery under the preset conditions.

[0066] According to the charging strategy determination system of the power battery in the embodiment of the present application, a more suitable charging current can be determined, which is conducive to charging the power battery with the determined charging current. The expansion stress and its change rate during the charging process can be reduced, and the mechanical impact on the battery microstructure can be reduced, thereby achieving comprehensive optimization of multiple performance aspects of the battery, such as charging speed, cycle life, and safety risks.
