Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of battery testing, and in particular to a battery cycle aging testing device, combined tooling and testing method under multiple constraints. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the number of new energy vehicles has increased rapidly. As the main energy supply component of new energy vehicles, the use of lithium-ion power batteries has also increased. However, lithium-ion batteries inevitably have the problem of life attenuation, which leads to a decrease in the range of new energy vehicles or a decrease in discharge efficiency. More seriously, it can cause the battery to swell violently and fail, bringing the risk of thermal runaway. Therefore, before lithium-ion batteries are put into use, they must be subjected to detailed cycle aging tests. However, most current studies focus on the effects of charge and discharge rates and temperature on cycle aging, and there are fewer studies under different load constraints.

[0003] In the actual use of lithium-ion batteries, a single battery is generally placed in a battery module or battery pack, and both sides of the battery are constrained by other structures. For example, mica sheets, foam structures, circular frames or other batteries, etc. Different grouping structures will give different load constraints to the battery. However, in actual vehicles, the layout of expansion signal sensors is far more difficult than temperature sensors, which will also increase the difficulty of load constraint impact analysis. As relevant studies have proved that constraints have a greater impact on battery cycle aging, various research teams and manufacturers have begun to pay attention to the study of batteries under constraints.

[0004] Considering that it is difficult to directly place stress sensors and expansion displacement sensors in the battery pack of new energy vehicles, and the stability is poor, most current studies mainly test the battery aging performance and related expansion behavior under load constraints in a laboratory environment. Most models rely only on empirical fitting of parameters related to the initial working conditions. This leads to unclear life attenuation mechanisms and expansion evolution mechanisms of batteries under constraints, which is not conducive to the construction of high-precision mechanism models under the full life cycle behavior of batteries.

[0005] The Chinese invention patent with the announcement number "CN110109026B" discloses "device and method for measuring expansion force and displacement components during charging and discharging of lithium batteries". The measuring device includes a lithium battery testing device for detecting the expansion force and displacement signals of lithium batteries during charging and discharging at different temperatures, currents and voltages. However, the displacement sensor and the weighing sensor of the measuring device are arranged on the same side of the battery. From a feasible perspective, the displacement sensor and the weighing sensor are generally arranged at the same time. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the simultaneous, real-time and accurate detection of battery expansion signals. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The exemplary embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these specific descriptions are only used to teach those skilled in the art how to implement the present application, and are not intended to exhaust all possible methods of the present application, nor to limit the scope of the present application.

[0028] In the following, in conjunction with specific embodiments, the battery cycle aging test device under multiple constraints, the battery combination tooling under multiple constraints, and the battery cycle aging test method under multiple constraints of the present application are further described in detail.

[0029] See also Figure 1 The battery aging detection device under multiple constraints of the present application includes a flat plate assembly, a connecting column assembly, and a sensor assembly. Among them, the flat plate assembly includes a top plate 1, an upper pressure plate 7, and a lower pressure plate 8 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The upper pressure plate 7 and the lower pressure plate 8 can clamp the battery 10 together. The connecting column assembly includes a guide column 6 connecting the flat plate assembly, and the upper pressure plate 7 and the lower pressure plate 8 have the freedom of linear lifting along the guide column 6. The sensor assembly includes a displacement sensor 9 and a load sensor 11. The displacement sensor 9 is assembled with the top plate 1, and the probe 91 of the displacement sensor 9 is in contact with the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 7. The load sensor 11 is in contact with the lower surface of the lower pressure plate 8. Cyclic aging refers to the continuous charge and discharge experiment of the battery 10.

[0030] In one embodiment, the plate assembly further includes a bottom plate 2 , the bottom plate 2 is fixed to the bottom end of the guide column 6 , and the load sensor 11 is located on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2 .

[0031] Adding the bottom plate 2 makes the entire battery aging detection device under multiple constraints more complete, and is not affected by the actual ground and work surface during the test.

[0032] In one embodiment, the connecting column assembly further includes a vertical column 3 arranged in parallel with the guide column 6, the bottom end of the vertical column 3 is fixed to the bottom plate 2, and the top end of the vertical column 3 is movably assembled with the top plate 1. The top end of the vertical column 3 is provided with an upper threaded section 31 penetrating the top plate 1, the axial length of the upper threaded section 31 is greater than the thickness of the top plate 1, and the upper threaded section 31 is movably assembled with a nut 4, which contacts the upper surface of the top plate 1. The vertical column 3 is also sleeved with a compression spring 5, and the two ends of the compression spring 5 are in contact with the top plate 1 and the upper pressure plate 7 respectively.

[0033] The compression spring 5 is to ensure that the upper pressure plate 7 always has the elastic potential energy to move downward, and to ensure that the upper pressure plate 7 and the lower pressure plate 8 clamp the battery 10 without gaps. The compression spring 5 can have a variety of models and specifications, and is replaceable. Among them, different models and specifications include but are not limited to different materials, different shaft lengths, different diameters, different compression ratios, different spiral directions, different numbers of turns, etc. Compression springs 5 ​​of different models and specifications can therefore impose a variety of different constraints on the upper pressure plate 7. When the compression spring 5 needs to be replaced, it is achieved by disassembling the nut 4 and the top plate 1 in turn.

[0034] In one embodiment, the bottom end of the vertical column 3 is provided with a lower thread section 32 for threaded assembly with the bottom plate 2. The bottom end of the guide column 6 is provided with a bottom thread section 62 for threaded assembly with the bottom plate 2, and the top end of the guide column 6 is provided with a milled flat section 61. The vertical column 3 between the upper thread section 31 and the lower thread section 32 is an optical axis, and the guide column 6 between the milled flat section 61 and the bottom thread section 62 is also an optical axis, and the optical axis is a cylinder.

[0035] The optical axis of the cylinder can reduce friction and facilitate the vertical movement of the upper pressing plate 7 and the lower pressing plate 8. The milling flat section 61 has the effect of destroying the complete rounded outer contour of the cylinder, which is convenient for contact with disassembly tools such as wrenches, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the guide column 6 and the bottom plate 1.

[0036] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of guide columns 6 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the battery 10 , and a plurality of vertical columns 3 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the battery 10 .

[0037] In a non-limiting example, there are four guide pillars 6 and four vertical pillars 3 , which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the battery 10 , that is, two guide pillars 6 and two vertical pillars 3 are provided on the same side of the battery 10 .

[0038] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 or Figure 4 As shown, a guide sleeve is movably mounted on the guide column 6, and the upper pressing plate 7 and the lower pressing plate 8 are both fixed to the guide sleeve.

[0039] The upper pressing plate 7 is fixed with an upper guide sleeve 12, and the lower pressing plate 8 is fixed with a lower guide sleeve 13. The upper guide sleeve 12 and the lower guide sleeve 13 both include an integrated circular tube portion and a flange portion, the circular tube portion is coaxially arranged with the guide column 6, and the flange portion of the upper guide sleeve 12 is fixed in surface contact with the upper pressing plate 7, and the flange portion of the lower guide sleeve 13 is fixed in surface contact with the lower pressing plate 8. In addition, the flange portions are fixed to the lower surface of the upper pressing plate 7 or the lower pressing plate 8. After the upper guide sleeve 12 is installed on the upper pressing plate 7, the relative position relationship between the upper guide sleeve 12 and the upper pressing plate 7 remains stable, and after the lower guide sleeve 13 is installed on the lower pressing plate 8, the relative position relationship between the lower guide sleeve 13 and the lower pressing plate 8 remains stable. Both the upper guide sleeve 12 and the lower guide sleeve 13 play a linear guiding role.

[0040] In one embodiment, the upper pressing plate 7 and the lower pressing plate 8 each have bosses extending toward each other, and the bosses of the upper pressing plate 7 and the lower pressing plate 8 can clamp the battery 10 together.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, the lower surface of the upper pressing plate 7 is provided with a lower boss 71 extending downwardly, and the upper surface of the lower pressing plate 8 is provided with an upper boss 81 extending upwardly. The lower boss 71 and the upper boss 81 can be cavities with a concave and convex fit with the battery 10, that is, the lower boss 71 and the upper boss 81 play a limiting effect on the battery 10, ensuring that the battery 10 is placed in a unique position. The lower boss 71 and the upper boss 81 can firstly limit the placement position of the battery 10, and secondly, the lower boss 71 and the upper boss 81 are equivalent to increasing the interval between the upper pressing plate 7 and the lower pressing plate 8, so that sufficient operating space is left in the vertical direction, so as to facilitate the connection of the pole ear of the battery 10 and facilitate power supply.

[0042] In one embodiment, the probe 91 of the displacement sensor 9 extends vertically downward, and the centroids of the probe 91, the load sensor 11, and the battery 10 are located on the same vertical line in space.

[0043] The top plate 1 may be provided with a hole for the probe 91 to pass through, and the main body of the displacement sensor 9 is located above the top plate 1 .

[0044] The battery aging detection device under multiple constraints of the present application has a simple and ingenious structure, and can provide an approximately constant load during the entire cycle aging process of the battery 10, facilitating subsequent quantitative analysis. It can monitor the expansion amount and expansion force in real time, and output them synchronously with the voltage and capacity signals of the battery 10. It provides an excellent verification data set for the expansion model verification of the battery 10.

[0045] The battery aging detection device under various constraints of the present application is described by taking a small soft-pack battery 10 as an example. If the test object is a large square shell battery, the size of the detection device can be increased accordingly.

[0046] Figures 1 to 5 The battery aging detection device under various constraints is shown. The top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 are connected by four vertical columns 3, and the distance between them is controlled to be constant by four nuts 4. A displacement sensor 9 is fixed on the top plate 1, and the displacement data measured by it is the displacement data of the upper pressure plate 7. A load sensor 11 is fixed on the bottom plate 2, and its measured data is the internal load of the entire device. Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the bottom plate 2 is provided with a plurality of step holes 21, through which fasteners can pass, so as to facilitate fixing the bottom plate 2 to the back of the load sensor 11, so that during the test phase, the relative position relationship between the load sensor 11 and the bottom plate 2 can remain stable. The battery 10 is located between the upper pressing plate 7 and the lower pressing plate 8, and both plates can slide vertically. When the battery 10 expands, the expansion amount is transmitted to the displacement sensor 9 through the upper pressing plate 7, and the expansion force is transmitted to the load sensor 11 through the lower pressing plate 8. In this way, the expansion amount and expansion force of the battery 10 during the cyclic aging process can be obtained in real time. The unit of expansion displacement can be um, and the unit of expansion force can be N.

[0047] Regarding battery aging detection under multiple constraints, the constraints can be divided into initial load and expansion constraint stiffness. The initial load can be adjusted by four nuts 4. The larger the rotation of the nut 4 knob, the higher the initial load. The expansion constraint stiffness is controlled by four compression springs 5. If nonlinear expansion constraint stiffness is required during research, elasticity can be replaced by nonlinear materials. In the same way, different constraints can be obtained. The experimenter can adjust the nut 4 to obtain the expected initial preload. After the experiment starts, the role of the nut 4 is only an assembly constraint.

[0048] Different compression springs 5 ​​can be used according to different target forces. In the initial stage of the test, the compression amount of the compression spring 5 is basically the same, such as 0.05MPa, 0.2MPa, 1MPa, etc.

[0049] In addition, the upper pressure plate 7 can be made of aluminum, with a total weight of no more than 100g, corresponding to 1N. However, the actual expansion force of the vehicle battery is approximately thousands of N or even tens of thousands of N. The lowest expansion force in this study is about 200N, and most of the expansion forces are thousands of N. Therefore, the weight of the upper pressure plate 7 has little effect on the experimental data.

[0050] like Figure 7 As shown, the present application also provides a combination of tools for batteries under various constraints. It includes a free expansion tool. The free expansion tool includes a top plate 1, an upper pressure plate 7, and a lower pressure plate 8 arranged in parallel from top to bottom. The top plate 1 and the lower pressure plate 8 are connected by a guide column 6, and the upper pressure plate 7 has the freedom to rise and fall in a straight line along the guide column 6. The upper pressure plate 7 and the lower pressure plate 8 in the free expansion tool can clamp the battery 10 together. The top plate 1 in the free expansion tool is equipped with a displacement sensor 9, and the probe 91 of the displacement sensor 9 is in contact with the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 7. The free expansion tool can be used to detect the expansion displacement of the battery 10.

[0051] like Figure 6As shown, the combined tooling for batteries under multiple constraints also includes a constant boundary tooling. The constant boundary tooling includes an upper pressure plate 7, a lower pressure plate 8, and a bottom plate 2 arranged in parallel from top to bottom; the upper pressure plate 7 and the bottom plate 2 are connected by a vertical column 3, and the lower pressure plate 8 has the freedom of linear lifting along the vertical column 3. The top of the vertical column 3 is provided with an upper threaded section 31 that passes through the upper pressure plate 7, and the upper threaded section 31 is movably equipped with a nut 4, which contacts the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 7. The upper pressure plate 7 and the lower pressure plate 8 in the constant boundary tooling can clamp the battery 10 together. The lower pressure plate 8 and the bottom plate 2 in the constant boundary tooling clamp a load sensor 11 together. The constant boundary tooling can be used to detect the expansion force of the battery 10.

[0052] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 1 The free expansion fixture and the constant boundary fixture can be combined into a two-in-one structure after being disassembled and then reassembled. Figures 1 to 5 The battery aging detection device under various constraints is shown in FIG. After being disassembled and then reassembled, the battery aging detection device under various constraints can be configured as follows: Figure 7 Free expansion fittings as shown or Figure 6 The constant boundary fixture shown. For example, when there are different detection needs, the battery aging detection device under various constraints can be disassembled and then assembled into any one of the free expansion fixture and the constant boundary fixture. Among them, the free expansion fixture and the constant boundary fixture each have certain common parts.

[0053] In order to facilitate the construction of the constant boundary tooling, the upper threaded section 31 of the vertical column 3 has a longer axial length.

[0054] In order to facilitate the construction of the free expansion tooling, the lower pressing plate 8 is provided with an internal threaded hole matching the bottom threaded section 62 of the guide column 6. When disassembling, the guide column 6 is shifted to the internal threaded hole.

[0055] The present application also provides a battery cycle aging test method under multiple constraints, which includes step S01: fix the load sensor 11, the guide column 6, and the vertical column 3 on the bottom plate 2. Step S02: place the lower pressure plate 8 above the load sensor 11, and then place the battery 10 and the upper pressure plate 7 in sequence. Step S03: place an adapted compression spring 5 on the vertical column 3, and then cover the top plate 1. Step S1: move the entire battery cycle aging test device under multiple constraints to a compression tester, and use the compression tester to pressurize the top plate 1 downward. Among them, when the mechanical value of the compression tester reaches a predetermined value, keep the compression tester stationary and start screwing the nut 4. When the mechanical value of the compression tester returns to zero, the loading is completed. Step S2: place the displacement sensor 9 on the top plate 1, connect the displacement signal of the displacement sensor 9, and the force signal of the load sensor 11; connect the charging line to the positive and negative poles of the battery 10, and start the cycle aging experiment according to the predetermined charging current or discharge current. If the value output by the load sensor 11 during the test does not increase by more than 5% compared to the original value at the beginning of the test, the battery 10 is considered to have passed the test. Otherwise, it is considered that the battery 10 has expanded too much.

[0056] The battery cycle aging test method is a method for monitoring the cycle aging of the battery 10 in the laboratory. After the test starts, there is no need to take the battery 10 again.

[0057] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present application, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present application and implement it. They cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application. All equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
