[0093] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0094] The control method, apparatus, equipment, and medium of the power battery temperature equalization system according to embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0095] Before introducing the control method of the power battery temperature equalization system of the present invention, let's first combine... Figures 1-18 This invention introduces the power battery temperature equalization component, battery module, and battery pack.
[0096] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, in a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, a power battery temperature equalization assembly is provided, which is placed between two battery cells along the cell height direction, and includes a temperature equalization plate 1, a heating film 2, and an insulating sheet 3, wherein:
[0097] A medium flow channel 11 is coiled inside the temperature distribution plate 1 along the length and height directions, and a heating film 2 is respectively attached to the first side 12 and the second side 13 of the temperature distribution plate 1.
[0098] The insulating sheet 3 covers and connects to the first side 12 and the second side 13, and is located between the heat spreader 1 and the battery cell.
[0099] It should be noted that the heating film 2 is attached to the first side 12 and the second side 13 of the heat exchange plate 1 respectively, and the insulating sheet 3 is covered and attached to the first side 12 and the second side 13. After the assembly of the power battery heat exchange assembly is completed, one battery cell is attached to one side of the power battery heat exchange assembly and another battery cell is attached to the other side, thereby achieving uniform temperature of the battery cells in the height direction, and at the same time, it can help achieve uniform temperature between different battery cells.
[0100] The power battery temperature equalization assembly proposed in this embodiment has a medium flow channel 11 coiled inside the temperature equalization plate 1 along the length and height directions. The first side 12 and the second side 13 of the temperature equalization plate 1 are respectively attached to the heating film 2, which can cool and heat the battery cells attached to both sides of the power battery temperature equalization assembly, avoid temperature difference in the vertical direction of the battery cells, achieve temperature equalization of the battery cells, and execute the charging and discharging strategy according to the temperature of the top of the battery cells, so as not to damage the performance and life of the battery cells.
[0101] In some embodiments, the heat spreader 1 has a sealed cavity 111 inside, and the sealed cavity 111 has a plurality of parallel spacers 112 inside. The spacers 112 extend along the length direction of the heat spreader 1, and the plurality of spacers 112 divide the sealed cavity 111 to form a medium flow channel 11. By dividing the sealed cavity 111 into a medium flow channel 11 by the plurality of spacers 112, the medium flow channel 11 is arranged to be coiled along the length and height directions, so that the medium flow is more uniform and the temperature uniformity of the battery cell is improved.
[0102] In some embodiments, among two adjacent spacers 112, one end of one spacer 112 forms a first gap 113 with the side of the sealed cavity 111, and the other spacer 112 forms a second gap 114 with the side of the sealed cavity 111 at the end away from the first gap 113. The cross-section of the medium flow channel 11 is S-shaped. This structure allows the medium flow channel 11 to form a "snake" shape with its ends connected, resulting in more uniform medium flow and improved temperature uniformity of the battery cell.
[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the heating film 2 is attached to the top surface, first side 12, and second side 13 of the heat spreader 1. The bottom of the heating film 2 is higher than the bottom surface of the heat spreader 1. The insulating sheet 3 is fitted over the heating film 2 and is attached to the first side 12 and second side 13 of the heat spreader 1. The heating film 2 is an integral U-shaped structure. The heating film 2 is upside down on the heat spreader 1 to be attached to the top surface, first side 12, and second side 13 of the heat spreader 1. The bottom of the heating film 2 is higher than the bottom surface of the heat spreader 1. The insulating sheet 3 is fitted over the heating film 2 and is attached to the first side 12 and second side 13 of the heat spreader 1. The area of the heat spreader 1 not covered by the heating film 2 is covered by the insulating sheet 3, avoiding the risk of short circuit between the battery cell and the heat spreader 1, and improving the safety and reliability of the device.
[0104] In other embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, two heating films 2 and two insulating sheets 3 are provided. One heating film 2 and one insulating sheet 3 are glued together to fill the first side 12, and the other heating film 2 and another insulating sheet 3 are glued together to fill the first side 12 and the second side 13. The insulating sheet 3 is located below the heating film 2. By piecing together the heating film 2 and the insulating sheet 3, the first side 12 and the second side 13 are filled. The insulating sheet 3 is located below the heating film 2, and the area of the heat spreader 1 not covered by the heating film 2 is covered by the insulating sheet 3, avoiding the risk of short circuit between the battery cell and the heat spreader 1, and improving the safety and reliability of the device.
[0105] In some embodiments, the heating film 2 includes a heating body 21, two wire harnesses 22, and two connectors 23. The two wire harnesses 22 are respectively connected to both ends of the heating body 21 along its length, and the two ends of the wire harnesses 22 are respectively connected to the heating body 21 and the connectors 23. By connecting the two wire harnesses 22 to both ends of the heating body 21 along its length, and the two ends of the wire harnesses 22 are respectively connected to the heating body 21 and the connectors 23, the heating film 2 is powered on. The connectors 23 improve the convenience of powering the heating film 2 and facilitate assembly and disassembly.
[0106] The working principle of this power battery temperature equalization component is as follows: battery cells are attached to both sides of the power battery temperature equalization component. Medium flow channels 11 are arranged inside the temperature equalization plate 1 along the length and height directions. The medium in the medium flow channels 11 cools the battery cells. Heating films 2 are attached to the first side 12 and the second side 13 of the temperature equalization plate 1, respectively. The heating films 2 heat the battery cells, which can avoid temperature differences in the vertical direction of the battery cells and achieve temperature equalization of the battery cells. The charging and discharging strategy is executed according to the temperature of the top of the battery cells, which will not damage the performance and life of the battery cells.
[0107] Based on the same concept, a second aspect of the present invention proposes a battery module, combined with... Figures 7-9 As shown, the battery includes an end plate 200, a battery cell 300, and a power battery temperature equalization assembly 100. At least two rows of battery cells 300 are vertically fixed between two end plates 200. The two ends of a cable tie 400 are respectively connected to the two end plates 200 to fix the battery cells 300. The power battery temperature equalization assembly 100 is located between two adjacent rows of battery cells 300. The two ends of the temperature equalization plate 1 are respectively connected to the two end plates 200.
[0108] The battery module proposed in this embodiment can achieve temperature uniformity of the battery cell 300 and execute the charging and discharging strategy according to the top temperature of the battery cell 300, without damaging the performance and lifespan of the battery cell 300. At the same time, the two ends of the temperature uniform plate 1 are connected to the two end plates 200 respectively, which can provide strength support for the battery module and reduce the need for external reinforcement structures such as cable ties 400. The cable ties 400 can be reduced from two to one, and the width / strength of the cable ties 400 can be reduced, which can reduce costs. In addition, the addition of the temperature uniform component can appropriately reduce the operating power of the liquid cooling / direct cooling system or shorten the operating time.
[0109] Based on the same concept, a third aspect of the present invention proposes a battery pack, combined with Figures 10-14 As shown, it includes a battery box 500 and battery cells 300, as well as a power battery temperature equalization assembly 100 in the first aspect. At least two rows of battery cells 300 are vertically fixed in the battery box 500, and at least one side of each row of battery cells 300 is in contact with the power battery temperature equalization assembly 100. The two ends of the temperature equalization plate 1 are respectively connected to the battery box 500.
[0110] It should be noted that the bottom of the battery box 500 is equipped with a liquid cooling / direct cooling channel to liquid cool and directly cool the bottom of the battery cell 300.
[0111] The battery pack provided in this embodiment can achieve temperature uniformity of the battery cells 300 and execute the charging and discharging strategy according to the top temperature of the battery cells 300, without damaging the performance and lifespan of the battery cells 300. At the same time, the two ends of the temperature uniform plate 1 are connected to the battery box 500, which can provide strength support for the battery box 500, reduce the need for reinforcement structure of the battery box 500, and reduce costs. In addition, the addition of the temperature uniform component can appropriately reduce the operating power of the liquid cooling / direct cooling system or shorten the operating time.
[0112] In some embodiments, the battery box 500 includes a box body 510, a first crossbeam 520, a second crossbeam 530, and two longitudinal beams 540. The first crossbeam 520 and the second crossbeam 530 are fixed at a distance from the bottom of the box body 510. The two ends of the longitudinal beams 540 are perpendicularly connected to the first crossbeam 520 and the second crossbeam 530, respectively, forming a square placement area for placing batteries. The two ends of the heat spreader 1 are connected to the first crossbeam 520 and the second crossbeam 530, respectively. By connecting the two ends of the heat spreader 1 to the first crossbeam 520 and the second crossbeam 530, the battery box 500 is provided with strength support, which can reduce the reinforcement structure of the battery box 500 and reduce costs.
[0113] In some embodiments, the first crossbeam 520 has a first channel connecting the medium flow channel 11 inside, and the first crossbeam 520 has a medium inlet 521 and a medium outlet 522 connecting the first channel. The battery box 500 also includes a first pipe 550 and a second pipe 560. The first pipe 550 is connected to the medium inlet 521 and extends out of the box body, and the second pipe 560 is connected to the medium outlet 522 and extends out of the box body. The second crossbeam 530 has a second channel connecting the medium flow channel 11 inside, so as to form a circulating temperature equalization pipeline. The medium enters the medium inlet 521 from the first pipe 550, flows into the medium flow channel 11 from the first channel, returns to the first channel after circulation, and flows out through the medium outlet 522 and is discharged through the second pipe 560.

[0119] Figure 17 This is a high-voltage connection block diagram of the power battery temperature equalization system of the present invention. The high-voltage connection between the components is mainly for high-voltage power supply to transfer energy.

The water / coolant pipeline connection between the parts mainly provides a flow boundary for the cooling medium, and heat exchange occurs at the corresponding parts during the flow process.
[0121] Figure 19 This is a flowchart of the control method for the power battery temperature equalization system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0122] like Figure 19 As shown, the control method of the power battery temperature equalization system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0123] S1, in response to the power battery being in discharge mode, determines whether the power battery has a temperature equalization requirement.
[0124] In this step, determining whether the battery pack in the power battery has a temperature equalization requirement may include: obtaining the temperature values of multiple cells in the battery pack; determining the temperature peak (highest cell temperature) and temperature trough (lowest cell temperature) from the temperature values of the multiple cells; and determining whether the battery pack has a temperature equalization requirement based on the temperature peak and temperature trough. Specifically, if the temperature trough is greater than a first set temperature value t1, such as 45°C, it is determined that the battery pack has a temperature equalization requirement, and the type of temperature equalization requirement is cooling temperature equalization; if the temperature peak is less than a second set temperature value t2, such as 0°C, it is determined that the battery pack has a temperature equalization requirement, and the type of temperature equalization requirement is heating temperature equalization; if the temperature trough is less than or equal to the first set temperature value t1, and the temperature peak is greater than or equal to the second set temperature value t2, it is determined that the battery pack has no temperature equalization requirement.
[0125] S2, in response to the requirement of temperature equalization of the power battery, obtains the bus current value and the cell temperature difference of the power battery within a set time period; wherein, the bus current value is used to characterize the current value flowing through the bus connecting the battery pack and the external load or charging equipment.
[0126] In this step, the difference between the peak and trough temperatures is calculated as the cell temperature difference of the power battery.
[0127] S3 controls the temperature equalization system based on the bus current value and cell temperature difference within a set time period to regulate the cell temperature.
[0128] Continue to refer to Figure 20If the bus current value I is greater than or equal to the set current value I1 (vehicle accessory power / current voltage +3~5A, where vehicle accessory power is the sum of all electrical power requirements of the vehicle excluding the drive system) within a set time period (e.g., 30s), the power level of the equalization system is first determined. Then, based on the power level of the equalization system and the cell temperature difference, the water pump and heating film in the equalization system are controlled. The water pump is used to pump the cooling medium. By adjusting the speed or flow rate of the water pump, the circulation speed of the cooling medium inside the power battery is controlled. The heating film is used to heat the cells. By adjusting the heating power of the heating film, the temperature of the cells is controlled.
[0129] The process of determining the power level of the temperature equalization system includes: when the battery pack in the power battery has a temperature equalization requirement, in addition to obtaining the ambient temperature value T, the bus current value RMS and the current remaining capacity value C of the battery pack are also obtained within a set time period, such as 1 minute. The bus current value is used to characterize the current value flowing through the bus connecting the battery pack with the external load or charging equipment, and the ratio RMS / C of the bus current value RMS within the set time period is calculated. Based on the ambient temperature value and the ratio RMS / C, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined.
[0130] Example 1: The type of temperature uniformity requirement is cooling temperature uniformity requirement.
[0131] Based on the ambient temperature value T and the ratio RMS / C, determine the power rating of the temperature equalization system, including:
[0132] If the ambient temperature T is less than or equal to the third set temperature T3 (e.g., 35℃), and the ratio RMS / C is less than or equal to the first set value C4 (e.g., 1.6), then the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the first power level, i.e., low-demand cooling temperature equalization condition.
[0133] If the ambient temperature T is less than or equal to the third set temperature T3, and the ratio RMS / C is greater than the first set value C4, then the compressor speed R in the power battery temperature equalization system is obtained, and the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined based on the compressor speed R.
[0134] If the ambient temperature T is less than or equal to the fourth set temperature T4 (e.g., 40℃) and greater than the third set temperature T3, and the ratio RMS / C is greater than the second set value C3 (e.g., 1.2), then the compressor speed value R is obtained, and the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined based on the compressor speed value R.
[0135] When the ambient temperature T is greater than the fourth set temperature T4, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the second power level, i.e., the high demand cooling temperature equalization condition.
[0136] The power corresponding to the first power level is less than the power corresponding to the second power level.
[0137] Based on the compressor's rotational speed R, determine the power rating of the temperature equalization system, including:
[0138] If the compressor speed R is greater than the first set speed R1, such as 3000 r / min, then the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the third power level, that is, the medium demand cooling temperature equalization condition.
[0139] If the compressor speed R is less than or equal to the first set speed R1, then the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the first power level, i.e., low demand cooling temperature equalization condition.
[0140] If the compressor speed R is greater than the second set speed R2, such as 5000 r / min, then the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the second power level, that is, the high demand cooling temperature equalization condition.
[0141] If the compressor speed is less than or equal to the second set speed value R2, then the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the third power level, that is, the medium demand cooling temperature equalization condition.
[0142] The power corresponding to the first power level is less than the power corresponding to the third power level, and the power corresponding to the third power level is less than the power corresponding to the second power level.
[0143] Example 2: The type of temperature equalization requirement is heating temperature equalization requirement.
[0144] Based on the ambient temperature value T and the ratio RMS / C, determine the power rating of the temperature equalization system, including:
[0145] If the ambient temperature T is greater than or equal to the fifth set temperature T2 (e.g., 0℃), and the ratio RMS / C is less than or equal to the third set temperature C2 (e.g., 1), then the power level of the equalization system is determined to be the first power level, i.e., low demand heating equalization condition.
[0146] When the ambient temperature T is greater than or equal to the fifth set temperature T2, if the ratio RMS / C is greater than the third set value C2, the compressor speed R and the heating film setting (PTC heating film setting, or PTC setting) in the power battery equalization system are obtained, and the power level of the equalization system is determined based on the compressor speed R and the heating film setting.
[0147] When the ambient temperature T is greater than or equal to the sixth set temperature T1 (e.g., -10℃) and less than the fifth set temperature T2, if the ratio is greater than the fourth set value C1 (e.g., 0.8), the compressor speed R and the heating film setting are obtained, and the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined based on the compressor speed R and the heating film setting.
[0148] When the ambient temperature T is less than the sixth set temperature T1, the power level of the equalization system is determined to be the second power level, i.e., the high demand heating equalization condition.
[0149] Based on the compressor's rotational speed R and the heating film's setting, determine the power rating of the temperature equalization system, including:
[0150] If the compressor speed R is greater than the first set speed R1 or the heating film is at the first set setting, then the power level of the equalization system is determined to be the first power level, i.e., low demand heating equalization condition.
[0151] If the compressor speed R is less than or equal to the first set speed R1 and the heating film is not at the first set setting, then the power level of the equalization system is determined to be the third power level, i.e., the medium demand heating equalization condition.
[0152] If the compressor speed R is greater than the second set speed R2 or the heating film is at the second set setting, then the power level of the equalization system is determined to be the second power level, i.e., high demand heating equalization condition.
[0153] If the compressor speed R is less than or equal to the second set speed R2 and the heating film is not in the second set setting, then the power level of the equalization system is determined to be the third power level, i.e., the medium demand heating equalization condition.
[0154] When the temperature equalization system is at the first power level, i.e., under the condition of low demand discharge temperature equalization, if the cell temperature difference Δt is less than or equal to the first set temperature difference t4, such as 10℃, then the water pump and heating film are both turned off; if the cell temperature difference Δt is greater than the first set temperature difference t4, then the thermal management working mode is obtained, and the water pump and heating film are controlled according to the thermal management working mode.
[0155] When the power level of the equalization system is the second power level, i.e., high demand discharge equalization, the thermal management operating mode is obtained, and the water pump and heating film in the equalization system are controlled according to the thermal management operating mode.
[0156] When the power level of the equalization system is the third power level, that is, when the equalization temperature is equal to the discharge temperature, if the cell temperature difference Δt is less than or equal to the second set temperature difference t3 (e.g., 8°C), the water pump and heating film are turned off; if the cell temperature difference Δt is greater than the second set temperature difference t3, the thermal management working mode is obtained, and the water pump and heating film in the equalization system are controlled according to the thermal management working mode.
[0157] Continue to refer to Figure 20As shown, when the power battery has no temperature equalization requirement, or when the bus current I is less than the set current I1 within a set time period, the cell temperature difference Δt is obtained, and the temperature equalization system is controlled according to the cell temperature Δt. If the cell temperature difference Δt is greater than the third set temperature difference t5, such as 12℃, the thermal management working mode is obtained, and the water pump and heating film are controlled according to the thermal management working mode. If the cell temperature difference Δt is less than or equal to the third set temperature difference t5, the water pump and heating film are both turned off.
[0158] In an embodiment of the present invention, the water pump and heating film in the temperature equalization system are controlled according to the thermal management working mode, including: when the thermal management working mode is cooling, controlling the water pump to turn on and the heating film to turn off; when the thermal management working mode is heating, controlling both the water pump and the heating film to turn on.
[0159] It should be noted that t3, t4, and t5 used in this invention are derived from battery simulation, testing, and performance data. Generally, t5 > t4 > t3. For example, simulation and testing data can be used to determine the approximate relationship between the maximum temperature difference between battery cells and the maximum temperature difference within the battery cell itself under different thermal management and electrical performance conditions. Based on this relationship diagram and the power performance of the battery pack / cell, corresponding t3, t4, and t5 points are selected to determine the values, such as t3 = 8℃, t4 = 10℃, and t5 = 12℃.
[0160] In summary, the control method for the power battery temperature equalization system according to embodiments of the present invention determines whether the power battery requires temperature equalization when it is in discharge mode. If it does, it acquires the bus current value and the cell temperature difference of the power battery within a set time period, and controls the temperature equalization system based on these values to regulate the cell temperature. Therefore, this method, when the power battery is discharging and requires temperature equalization, controls the temperature equalization system based on the bus current value and cell temperature difference within a set time period, achieving precise temperature control of the battery pack and improving the thermal management efficiency of the battery system.
