[0128] The insulating sheet 3 is connected to and covers the first side surface 12 and the second side surface 13 , and is located between the temperature evaporating plate 1 and the battery cell.

[0129] It should be noted that the first side 12 and the second side 13 of the temperature equalizing plate 1 are respectively bonded and connected to the heating film 2, and the insulating sheet 3 is covered and connected to the first side 12 and the second side 13. After the assembly of the power battery temperature equalizing assembly is completed, one side of the power battery temperature equalizing assembly is bonded to a battery cell, and the other side is bonded to another battery cell, thereby achieving temperature uniformity of the battery cells in the height direction, and at the same time can assist in achieving temperature uniformity between different battery cells.

The sealed cavity 111 is separated by a plurality of partitions 112 to form a medium flow channel 11, so that the medium flow channel 11 is arranged in a winding manner along the length direction and the height direction, so that the medium flows more evenly, and the temperature equalization effect on the battery cell is improved.

[0152] like Fig.19 As shown, the control method of the power battery temperature equalization system according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0153] S1, in response to the battery pack in the power battery having a temperature equalization requirement, obtains the ambient temperature value, the bus current value within a set time, and the current remaining capacity value of the battery pack; wherein the bus current value is used to characterize the current value flowing through the bus connecting the battery pack with an external load or charging device.

[0154] Before executing step S1, first determine whether the battery pack in the power battery has a requirement for uniform temperature. The process of determining whether the battery pack in the power battery has a requirement for uniform temperature may include: obtaining temperature values ​​of multiple battery cells in the battery pack; determining a temperature peak value (the highest temperature of the battery cell) and a temperature valley value (the lowest temperature of the battery cell) from the temperature values ​​of the multiple battery cells; and judging whether the battery pack has a requirement for uniform temperature based on the temperature peak value and the temperature valley value.

[0155] Among them, Fig. 20 As shown, when the temperature valley value is greater than the 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 a cooling temperature equalization requirement; it should be noted that the cooling temperature equalization requirement judgment process is as follows Fig.21 As shown;

[0156] When the temperature peak value is less than the 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 the temperature equalization requirement is a heating temperature equalization requirement; it should be noted that the heating temperature equalization requirement judgment process is as follows Fig. 22 As shown;

[0157] When the temperature valley value is less than or equal to the first set temperature value t1 and the temperature peak value is greater than or equal to the second set temperature value t2, it is determined that the battery pack has no temperature equalization requirement.

[0158] S2, determines the power level of the temperature equalization system according to the ambient temperature value, the bus current value within the set time and the current remaining capacity value.

[0159] The process of executing step S2 is as follows: calculate the root mean square value RMS of the bus current value within a set time period such as 1 minute, and calculate the ratio between the root mean square value and the current remaining capacity value C, and then determine the power level of the temperature equalization system according to the ambient temperature value T and the ratio RMS / C.

[0160] Example 1: The type of average temperature requirement is cooling average temperature requirement. The cooling average temperature requirement judgment process is as follows: Fig.21 shown.

[0161] According to the ambient temperature value T and the ratio RMS / C, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined, including:

[0163] When the ambient temperature value T is less than or equal to the third set temperature value T3, if the ratio RMS / C is set to be greater than the first set value C4, the speed value R of the compressor in the power battery temperature equalization system is obtained, and the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined according to the speed value R of the compressor;

[0164] When the ambient temperature value T is less than or equal to the fourth set temperature T4, such as 40° C., and greater than the third set temperature value T3, if the ratio RMS / C is greater than the second set value C3, such as 1.2, the speed value R of the compressor is obtained, and the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined according to the speed value R of the compressor;

[0165] When the ambient temperature value 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, that is, the high demand cooling temperature equalization working condition;

[0166] The power corresponding to the first power level is less than the power corresponding to the second power level.

[0167] According to the speed value R of the compressor, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined, including:

[0168] If the speed value R of the compressor is greater than the first set speed value R1, such as 3000r / min, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the third power level, that is, the medium demand cooling temperature equalization working condition;

[0169] If the speed value R of the compressor is less than or equal to the first set speed value R1, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the first power level, that is, the low demand cooling temperature equalization working condition;

[0173] Example 2: The type of average temperature requirement is heating average temperature requirement. The heating average temperature requirement judgment process is as follows: Fig. 22 shown.

[0174] According to the ambient temperature value T and the ratio RMS / C, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined, including:

[0175] When the ambient temperature value T is greater than or equal to the fifth set temperature value T2, such as 0°C, if the ratio RMS / C is less than or equal to the third set value C2, such as 1, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the fourth power level, that is, the low-demand heating temperature equalization working condition;

[0176] When the ambient temperature value T is greater than or equal to the fifth set temperature value T2, if the ratio RMS / C is greater than the third set value C2, the speed value R of the compressor in the power battery temperature equalization system and the gear position of the heating film in the temperature equalization component (the gear position of the PTC heating film, referred to as the PTC gear position) are obtained, and the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined according to the speed value R of the compressor and the gear position of the heating film;

[0177] When the ambient temperature value T is greater than or equal to the sixth set temperature T1, such as -10°C, and less than the fifth set temperature value T2, if the ratio is greater than the fourth set value C1, such as 0.8, the speed value R of the compressor and the gear position of the heating film are obtained, and the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined according to the speed value R of the compressor and the gear position of the heating film;

[0178] When the ambient temperature value T is less than the sixth set temperature T1, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the fifth power level, that is, the high-demand heating temperature equalization working condition;

[0179] The power corresponding to the fourth power level is less than the power corresponding to the fifth power level.

[0180] According to the speed value R of the compressor and the gear position of the heating film, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined, including:

[0181] If the speed value R of the compressor is greater than the first set speed value R1 or the gear position of the heating film is the first set gear position, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the fourth power level, that is, the low-demand heating temperature equalization working condition;

[0182] If the speed value R of the compressor is less than or equal to the first set speed value R1 and the gear position of the heating film is not the first set gear position, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the sixth power level, that is, the medium demand heating temperature equalization working condition;

[0183] If the speed value R of the compressor is greater than the second set speed value R2 or the gear position of the heating film is the second set gear position, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the fifth power level, that is, the high-demand heating temperature equalization working condition;

[0184] If the speed value R of the compressor is less than or equal to the second set speed value R2 and the gear position of the heating film is not the second set gear position, the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined to be the sixth power level, that is, the medium demand heating temperature equalization working condition;

[0185] The power corresponding to the fourth power level is less than the power corresponding to the sixth power level, and the power corresponding to the sixth power level is less than the power corresponding to the fifth power level.

[0186] S3, controlling the temperature averaging component according to the determined power level to achieve temperature regulation of the battery pack.

[0187] For example, in a power battery temperature equalization system, when the power level is determined to be a high-demand cooling temperature equalization condition, it means that a large amount of heat is generated inside the battery pack, and the heat needs to be quickly and effectively transferred and dispersed to prevent the battery from overheating and ensure the safety and performance of the battery. At this time, for the temperature equalization component of the liquid cooling system of the present invention, the heating film can be turned off, the flow of the coolant can be increased, the heat exchange efficiency can be improved, and the heat inside the battery pack can be taken away faster.

[0188] In the power battery temperature equalization system, when the power level is determined to be a high-demand heating and temperature equalization condition, it means that the temperature inside the battery pack is too low or the temperature distribution is uneven. It is necessary to quickly and effectively increase the temperature of the battery pack and ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed to prevent battery performance degradation or damage. At this time, for the temperature equalization component of the temperature equalization system used in the present invention, the working mode of the coolant can be adjusted to achieve the functions of heating and temperature equalization. For example, intermittent operation can be used to avoid local overheating of the battery pack; or variable frequency speed regulation can be used to adjust the heating power of the heating film according to the real-time temperature of the battery pack to achieve more precise temperature control.

[0189] In other embodiments of the present invention, step S3 of the present invention can also execute a corresponding temperature equalization process based on the determined power level and in combination with the working mode of the battery management system BMS to achieve temperature control of the battery pack.

[0190] Among them, the BMS working mode generally has 4 states, which reflect the current working status of the battery pack, as follows.

[0191] Discharge mode: The battery pack discharges current to the outside world.

[0192] Charging mode: The battery pack is charged externally.

[0193] Heating only: When the ambient temperature is very low, the battery pack cannot be charged. At this time, the outside world (usually the charging pile) provides power to the thermal management system, and then heats the battery pack first. After the temperature rises, it is charged again. Therefore, the prerequisite for heating only is that it is in charging mode, but there is no charging current at this time.

[0194] Cooling only: When the ambient temperature is particularly high, the battery pack cannot be charged. At this time, the outside world (usually the charging pile) provides power to the thermal management system, and then cools the battery pack first. After the temperature drops, charging can be resumed. Therefore, the prerequisite for heating only is that it is in charging mode, but there is no charging current at this time.

[0195] The thermal management working mode generally has three states, which reflect the working status of the current thermal management system, as follows.

[0196] Heating mode: absorbs external heat and then transfers the heat to the battery.

[0197] Cooling mode: absorbs heat from the battery pack and then takes the heat away.

[0198] Off: Thermal management is not operational.

[0199] It should be noted that the working mode can be subdivided into many modes. The present invention does not subdivide too many modes. Even if the types of modes are increased, the overall temperature equalization idea is the same.

[0200] It should be noted that t1, t2, C1, C2, C3, C4, T1, T2, T3, and T4 used in the present invention are obtained based on battery simulation, testing, and performance, and R1 and R2 are obtained based on battery thermal management simulation or test data and after matching the corresponding compressor power characteristics.

[0201] The general size relationship is: 60℃>t1>t2>-30℃, C4>C3>C2>C1, T4>T3>T2>T1, R2>R1.

[0202] For example: t1=45℃, t2=0℃; C4=1.6, C3=1.2, C2=1, C1=0.8; T4=40℃, T3=35℃, T2=0℃, T1=-10℃; R2=5000r / min, R1=3000r / min.

[0203] In summary, the power battery temperature equalization system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes multiple temperature equalization components, and the temperature equalization components are placed between two battery cells along the height direction of the battery cells. When the battery pack in the power battery has a temperature equalization requirement, the ambient temperature value, the bus current value within the set time length, and the current remaining capacity value of the battery pack are obtained. 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 device, and the power level of the temperature equalization system is determined according to the ambient temperature value, the bus current value within the set time length, and the current remaining capacity value, and then the temperature equalization component is controlled according to the determined power level to achieve the regulation of the battery pack temperature. Therefore, the method determines the power level of the temperature equalization system by comprehensively considering multiple factors such as the ambient temperature value, the bus current value within the set time length, and the current remaining capacity value of the battery pack, and controls the temperature equalization component according to the determined power level to achieve precise regulation of the battery pack temperature.
