Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium battery safety early warning, and in particular to an intelligent data analysis technology for a lithium battery fire hazard detector. Background Art

[0002] There are three stages of battery thermal runaway. Stage one is the reversible stage. The lithium battery's own protection mechanism is activated, and the electrolyte gas is released through the battery's built-in pressure relief valve. At this time, if the lithium battery is intervened or isolated, there is more than a 90% chance of blocking the occurrence of thermal runaway. Stages two and three are irreversible stages. In stage two, the lithium battery's self-protection mechanism can no longer maintain the stable operation of the battery itself, and a large amount of smoke and heat are generated. At this time, the thermal runaway will be irreversible. In stage three, thermal runaway begins to spread rapidly between lithium batteries, causing huge losses and safety hazards.

[0003] The prior art has the following technical problems when used:

[0004] Problem 1: Early warnings for lithium batteries generally only warn of the second and third irreversible stages, but fail to warn of the early reversible stages, resulting in direct damage to most lithium battery fires.

[0005] Problem 2: The detection range and types of lithium batteries are insufficient, resulting in inaccurate fire warning data, which greatly reduces the accuracy of detection and warning;

[0006] Problem three: There is no way to provide timely and rapid feedback on lithium battery fire warning signals, resulting in untimely receipt of warning information, causing the lithium battery fire to be scrapped due to untimely repairs. Summary of the invention

[0007] Technical issues solved

[0008] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent data analysis technology for a lithium battery fire hazard detector, which solves the following problems:

[0009] 1. Failure to provide early warning for lithium batteries, resulting in irreversible damage to lithium batteries due to fire;

[0010] 2. The detection range and data parameter range of lithium battery fire are insufficient, resulting in reduced detection accuracy;

[0011] 3. The lithium battery fire warning signal cannot be received in time, resulting in untimely maintenance.

At the same time, an alarm signal is sent to the BMS through the BMS interface, and corresponding treatment measures are recommended;

[0019] Sp6: System optimization learning. The system can automatically adjust the thresholds and parameters of detection alarms according to monitoring data and operating status, and can automatically detect the fault status of key components such as sensors and main controllers. When a fault is detected, the fault information is sent through the BMS interface for timely maintenance.

[0020] Preferably, the sensor array communicates with the main controller via wired or wireless means, and the main controller has one or more external design interfaces of UART, I2C, SPI for communicating with other modules.

[0021] Preferably, the system optimization learning supports remote maintenance functions, and remote configuration, data query and troubleshooting operations can be performed through remote communication interfaces such as Ethernet and WiFi.

[0022] Preferably, the database in the intelligent data analysis contains data on characteristic gases released by lithium batteries of various brands and models in the early stages of thermal runaway.

[0024] Preferably, the data is subjected to feature extraction before the intelligent data analysis, including features based on gas sensors and features based on physical parameters, specifically including the following contents:

[0025] Gas sensor-based features: Extract key features from the data obtained by the gas sensor, such as gas concentration and rate of change;

[0026] Features based on physical parameters: Extract features such as rate of change and peak value from physical parameters such as temperature, voltage, and current.

[0027] Preferably, in the intelligent data analysis, a suitable machine learning algorithm, such as logistic regression or random forest, is selected according to the characteristics of the problem and the data features, and the selected algorithm is trained using historical data and labels to obtain a model that can identify potential fire hazards of lithium batteries. The performance of the model is evaluated by cross-validation and other methods to ensure the effectiveness and accuracy of the model.

[0028] Preferably, the early warning mechanism uses a trained model to make real-time predictions on new lithium battery data to determine whether it is in the early stages of thermal runaway. Based on the prediction results, if it is determined that the lithium battery has a fire hazard, the early warning mechanism is triggered.

[0069] m is the sample size;

[0070] y (i) is the true label;

[0071] p (i) is the probability predicted by the model;

[0072] The loss function is minimized through optimization algorithms such as gradient descent to find the optimal model parameters.

[0074] Main steps:

[0075] Randomly sample multiple subsets from the original dataset;

[0076] Build a decision tree for each subset;

[0077] The prediction results of all decision trees are integrated (such as taking the average or mode) to obtain the final prediction result.

[0078] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "comprising a reference structure" do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.
