[0029] The following is an explanation of the embodiments of the present disclosure by specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present disclosure from the information disclosed by the present disclosure. The present disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in the present disclosure can also be modified or changed in various ways according to different viewpoints and application modules without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0030] In the related art, after a battery pack has been in operation for a period of time, for example, a battery pack for a two-wheeled vehicle, its operating performance will decline and its subsequent service life will be short. However, if such a battery pack is directly discarded, it will easily cause waste.

[0031] In view of this, the present disclosure provides a battery pack repair method and system, which can repair the battery pack, improve the working performance of the battery pack, and extend the service life of the battery pack.

[0032] The battery pack repair method is used to repair a battery pack, and the battery pack includes a plurality of battery cells connected in series. Each of the battery cells can work independently to provide electrical energy to the outside world. Optionally, the battery pack can be a two-wheeled vehicle battery pack, but it is understood that the battery pack described in the present disclosure includes but is not limited to this, and the battery pack can also be a four-wheeled vehicle battery pack or other battery packs having a plurality of the battery cells connected in series.

[0033] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a repair process of a battery pack repair method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 , the battery pack repair method comprises the following steps:

[0034] S10: Perform voltage equalization on the battery pack in a repairable state. The battery pack in a repairable state can be understood as the battery pack that is in a state of needing repair and can be repaired. Therefore, when repairing the battery pack, the present disclosure can first eliminate the battery packs with good working performance that do not need to be repaired, and eliminate the battery packs that cannot be repaired, thereby avoiding the situation in which it is discovered during the repair process that the battery pack does not need to be repaired or cannot be repaired, avoiding the waste of time and resources, and is conducive to improving the repair efficiency of the battery pack and reducing the repair cost.

[0035] Optionally, detecting whether the battery pack is in a repairable state includes step a: collecting multiple voltage values ​​of multiple battery cells, and comparing whether the voltage difference between the maximum voltage value and the minimum voltage value among the multiple voltage values ​​is within a first preset range. For example, the first preset range may be 3mV-5mV. Therefore, if the voltage difference is too small, it means that the battery pack is not damaged and can continue to work well without repair. If the voltage difference is too large, it means that major faults such as short circuit or open circuit may occur in the battery pack. When repairing the battery pack, each cable line needs to be checked one by one, which makes the repair difficult and has low repair value. Such battery packs can also be eliminated. Therefore, the above steps can eliminate battery packs with good working performance, battery packs that cannot be repaired, and battery packs with major faults and low repair value, so as to facilitate screening out battery packs that can be repaired with simple operations. ‌

[0036] Optionally, detecting whether the battery pack is in a repairable state further includes step b: before step a, detecting whether the battery management system chip of the battery pack is damaged. The battery management system chip is connected to the plurality of battery cells and is used to manage the plurality of battery cells. It is the core part of the battery pack and the part with higher cost. When the battery management system chip is damaged, the battery pack has little repair value and can be discarded.

[0037] For example, detecting whether the battery management system chip is damaged includes: sending an instruction to the battery management system chip, and determining whether the battery management system chip is damaged according to whether the battery management system chip responds to the instruction. Thus, after sending the instruction to the battery pack, if the battery management system chip responds to the instruction, it means that the battery management system chip is not damaged. If the battery management system chip cannot respond to the instruction, it means that the battery management system chip is damaged.

[0038] Optionally, the voltage equalization target includes: among the multiple voltage values ​​corresponding to the multiple battery cells, the voltage difference between the maximum voltage value and the minimum voltage value is below a set voltage value. For example, the set voltage value is lower than any value within the first preset range, for example, the set voltage value may be 2mV.

[0039] Optionally, the voltage equalization of the battery pack includes passive equalization. For example, the operation of the passive equalization includes connecting a balancing resistor and a conduction switch in parallel to the battery cell with high voltage. Thus, when the conduction switch is turned on, the charging current is shunted when passing through the balancing resistor, so that the charging current of the battery cell with high voltage is small, while the charging current of the battery cell with low voltage is large, thereby achieving voltage equalization of each battery cell. Of course, it can be understood that the voltage equalization may also include active equalization, and the operation of the active equalization includes setting an energy conversion device between the battery cell with high voltage and the battery cell with low voltage, and the energy conversion device includes energy storage elements such as capacitors and / or inductors. The energy conversion device can absorb the electricity of the battery cell with high voltage and send the electricity to the battery cell with low voltage, thereby achieving voltage equalization of each battery cell by continuously converting energy through the energy conversion device.

[0040] S20: Execute an abnormal cell replacement step, the abnormal cell replacement step comprising: detecting whether there is an abnormal cell with abnormal impedance among the multiple cells after voltage equalization, and replacing the abnormal cell with a normal cell. It can be understood that the impedance of the cell after voltage equalization refers to the total impedance of the cell after voltage equalization, for example, when the cell with high voltage is connected in parallel with the equalization resistor, the impedance of the cell after voltage equalization refers to the total resistance of the cell and the equalization resistor in parallel.

[0041] For the battery pack, the impedance of each cell should be kept as the same as possible after voltage equalization, otherwise the charging or discharging process of each cell will be different during charging or discharging, affecting the overall performance and life of the battery pack. Therefore, after voltage equalization, it is detected whether there is an abnormal cell in each cell whose impedance value is abnormal (obviously different) from other cells. When the abnormal cell exists, the abnormal cell is replaced with a normal cell with the same impedance value as other cells. Therefore, this step ensures that the impedance corresponding to each cell can be balanced after voltage equalization, so that the battery pack has a better repair effect, can repair the battery pack with good working performance, and extend the service life of the battery pack.

[0042] Optionally, the detection of whether there are abnormal cells with abnormal impedance among the multiple cells after voltage equalization includes: collecting multiple impedance values ​​corresponding to the multiple cells after voltage equalization, screening out abnormal values ​​among the multiple impedance values, and determining that the cell corresponding to the abnormal value is the abnormal cell. In other words, after obtaining the multiple impedance values ​​corresponding to the multiple cells after voltage equalization, if there is an abnormal value among the multiple impedance values, the cell corresponding to the abnormal value is the abnormal cell, and thus the abnormal cell is screened out. Conversely, if there is no abnormal value among the multiple impedance values, the abnormal cell does not exist among the multiple cells after voltage equalization.

[0043] For example, the screening can be implemented using an outlier screening algorithm. For example, after calculating the average value and standard deviation of multiple impedance values, each impedance value is compared with a comparison range formed according to the average value and the standard deviation. When the size of any impedance value is outside three times the standard deviation of the average value, the impedance value is determined to be the outlier, and the battery cell corresponding to the outlier is the abnormal battery cell. On the contrary, the impedance value is a normal value, and the battery cell impedance is normal. Of course, it can be understood that the outlier screening algorithm includes but is not limited to this, and other algorithms that can screen out outliers are also within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0044] Optionally, the acquisition of multiple impedance values ​​corresponding to the multiple battery cells after voltage equalization includes: acquiring the total working current and the working voltage of each battery cell in the series circuit of the multiple battery cells, and determining the multiple impedance values ​​according to the total working current, the multiple working voltages and Ohm's law. For example, the voltage across each battery cell after the total working current and voltage equalization is substituted into the formula for solving the resistance in Ohm's law, and the value obtained by the solution is the impedance value. Thus, according to the multiple working voltages, the total working current and Ohm's law, the impedance value corresponding to each battery cell after voltage equalization can be calculated.

[0045] Optionally, the normal battery cell includes a new battery cell with normal impedance or the abnormal battery cell with normal impedance after repair. In other words, after finding the abnormal battery cell, the abnormal battery cell can be replaced with a new battery cell with good function and normal impedance, or the abnormal battery cell can be sent for repair, and after the impedance value of the abnormal battery cell is repaired to normal, the repaired abnormal battery cell can be reinstalled.

[0046] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a repair process of a battery pack repair method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 , the battery pack repair method further includes the following steps:

[0047] S30: Cyclically performing the voltage balancing and abnormal cell replacement steps on the replaced battery pack until the impedance of each cell is normal under voltage balancing.

[0048] In other words, after performing the abnormal cell replacement step on the battery pack, the repair process of the battery pack can be looped back to the voltage equalization, and the abnormal cell replacement step can be performed again after the voltage equalization, and the impedance detection can be re-performed on the battery pack after the voltage equalization until there are no abnormal values ​​among the multiple impedance values ​​obtained by the impedance detection. The cycle is repeated to ensure that after the last abnormal cell replacement, there are no abnormal cells in the battery pack.

[0049] Optionally, see Figure 2 , the battery pack repair method further includes the following steps:

[0050] S40: Detecting the state of charge of the battery pack after it is fully charged and each cell has normal impedance under voltage balancing, and determining whether the battery pack is repaired according to whether the state of charge reaches a preset state of charge.

[0051] In other words, after the voltage equalization operation and abnormal cell replacement operation of the battery pack are completed, the battery pack is fully charged, and the state of charge of the battery pack after being fully charged is detected. When it is detected that the state of charge of the battery pack after being fully charged reaches the preset state of charge, it is determined that the repair effect of the battery pack reaches the preset qualified standard, and the battery pack can be collected and put into use again. When it is detected that the state of charge of the battery pack after being fully charged does not reach the preset state of charge, it is determined that the repair effect of the battery pack does not reach the preset qualified standard, and the battery pack can be discarded and recycled, and will no longer be put into use or repaired, which is conducive to avoiding the mixing of unqualified battery packs with the qualified battery packs, and is conducive to ensuring the repair effect of the battery pack.

[0052] Specifically, the state of charge of the battery pack after it is fully charged can be characterized by an SOC value, and the preset qualification standard includes that the SOC value of the battery pack after it is fully charged is greater than or equal to 90%. Therefore, when the SOC value of the battery pack after it is fully charged is greater than or equal to 90%, it is determined that the repair effect of the battery pack is good and the battery pack can continue to be put into use. When the detected SOC value of the battery pack after it is fully charged is less than 90%, the battery pack can be discarded and recycled and no longer put into use.

The control device 14 (such as an industrial computer) is connected to the battery balancing device 11, the impedance detection device 12 and the replacement device 13.

[0054] Understandably, Figure 3 The arrow on the dotted line indicates the conveying direction of the battery pack when it is conveyed. When the battery pack repair system of the present disclosure repairs the battery pack, the battery pack is conveyed by a conveying device 800 such as a conveyor belt, and passes through the station where the battery balancing device 11 is located, the station where the impedance detection device 12 is located, and the station where the replacement device 13 is located in sequence along the direction indicated by the arrow on the dotted line.

Optionally, the replacement device 13 may be a walkable multi-degree-of-freedom manipulator, which is used to cyclically transport the battery pack between the battery balancing device 11 and the impedance detection device 12 when the battery pack cyclically performs the voltage balancing and the abnormal cell replacement operations.

[0057] Optionally, see Figure 3 The battery pack repair system also includes a pre-inspection device 15.

[0058] In some examples, the pre-inspection device 15 includes a first pre-inspection unit and a second pre-inspection unit.

The second pre-inspection unit is arranged at the rear stage of the first pre-inspection unit, and is used to collect multiple voltage values ​​of multiple battery cells, and compare whether the voltage difference between the maximum voltage value and the minimum voltage value among the multiple voltage values ​​is within a first preset range, and if so, it is determined that the battery pack is in a repairable state.

[0059] In some other examples, the pre-inspection device 15 only includes a second pre-inspection unit. The second pre-inspection unit is used to collect multiple voltage values ​​of the multiple battery cells, and compare whether the voltage difference between the maximum voltage value and the minimum voltage value among the multiple voltage values ​​is within a first preset range, and if so, it is determined that the battery pack is in a repairable state.
