When the parameters such as voltage, internal resistance, and capacity of different lithium batteries in the lithium battery pack vary greatly, it will increase the loss of the lithium battery pack.

[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following further describes in detail a test method for a lithium battery of a vacuum cleaner proposed by the present application in combination with the accompanying drawings and implementation examples. It should be understood that the specific implementation examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present application belongs.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows the flowchart of steps of a test method for a lithium battery of a vacuum cleaner provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method includes the following steps:

[0042] Step 1, perform multiple charge and discharge processes on the lithium battery pack in the vacuum cleaner, and obtain the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery in the lithium battery pack at each moment.

[0043] Perform multiple charge and discharge processes on the lithium battery pack in the vacuum cleaner, and collect the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery in the lithium battery pack during multiple charge and discharge processes through intelligent sensors. Among them, the intelligent sensors include a voltage sensor, a current sensor, a temperature sensor, a battery capacity tester, and an internal resistance tester. The collection time interval is t, and the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery in the lithium battery pack in the vacuum cleaner at each moment is obtained. Among them, each test parameter includes: voltage, current, temperature, capacity, internal resistance, and all the collected data is normalized.

[0044] In this embodiment, the number of lithium batteries in the lithium battery pack of the vacuum cleaner is 8. The lithium battery pack in the vacuum cleaner is subjected to 10 charge and discharge processes, and the acquisition time interval is 1 minute. As other implementation manners, the implementer can set it according to the actual situation; secondly, the maximum-minimum normalization method is used for normalization processing. Among them, the maximum-minimum normalization method is a well-known technology and will not be elaborated here. As other implementation manners, the implementer can adopt other methods of the existing technology, for example, the Z-score normalization method, etc. This embodiment does not make special restrictions on this.

[0045] Thus, the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery in the lithium battery pack of the vacuum cleaner at each moment is obtained.

[0046] Step 2: Analyze the fluctuation difference of the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery before and after each moment, the difference of the test data of all test parameters of each lithium battery at different moments, and the abnormal proportion of the test data after each moment, and combine the abnormal characterization degree to determine the contact abnormal degree of the lithium battery pack at each moment.

[0047] Inside the vacuum cleaner, generally multiple lithium batteries are connected in series and parallel to make the vacuum cleaner work normally. If the test parameters such as voltage and resistance between the lithium batteries are inconsistent, it will cause certain losses to the lithium battery pack. Therefore, when testing the lithium batteries, it is necessary not only to test the performance of a single lithium battery, but also to detect the performance consistency between the lithium batteries. The smaller the difference in the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at the same moment, the higher the consistency of the lithium battery pack; the greater the difference in the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at the same moment, the worse the consistency of the lithium battery pack.

[0048] However, during the process of collecting each test parameter, it will be interfered to a certain extent, such as the electromagnetic interference caused by household appliances to the sensor, or the poor contact between the sensor and the lithium battery due to the vibration of the vacuum cleaner, which may lead to the fact that the collected test data may not be the actual data of the lithium battery, and there will be a certain deviation in the test of the lithium battery. Therefore, before analyzing the consistency of each test parameter of the lithium battery pack, it is necessary to first detect the abnormal values in the test data of each test parameter.

[0049] When household appliances generate electromagnetic interference to the sensors, it will cause each test parameter of each lithium battery to shift and change at the same moment. The change may be an increase or a decrease. When the vacuum cleaner vibrates significantly during operation, it may cause poor contact between multiple sensors and the lithium battery. Then, the measured values of one or more sensors will mutate at the same moment, and the data after the mutation point will be significantly different from the data before the mutation point. Among them, the measured values after the mutation point will become more chaotic and there may be moments when the measured value is zero. When the sensor is neither affected by electromagnetic interference nor has poor contact, the data measured by the voltage sensor is the actual voltage of the lithium battery. In this case, the data collected by each sensor will show regular changes and there will be no mutation point. Based on the above analysis, to determine the degree of abnormal contact, the flowchart of the method for obtaining the degree of abnormal contact of the lithium battery pack at each moment provided by the embodiments of the present application is as Figure 2 shown.

[0050] First, according to the change trend of the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at each moment, determine the poor contact coefficient to reflect the possibility of poor contact between the sensor or tester corresponding to each test parameter and the lithium battery. Specifically:

[0051] Calculate the degree of dispersion of the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at multiple moments before each moment, denoted as the front-segment dispersion degree;

[0052] Calculate the degree of dispersion of the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at multiple moments after each moment, denoted as the back-segment dispersion degree;

[0053] In this embodiment, calculate the variance of the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at 8 moments before each moment, and calculate the variance of the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at 8 moments after each moment. As other implementation manners, the implementer can select by himself according to the actual situation the number of moments before or after each moment for calculating the test data. Secondly, the degree of dispersion is measured by variance. As other implementation manners, the implementer can adopt other methods in the prior art, such as standard deviation, coefficient of variation, etc. This embodiment does not make special restrictions on this. It should be noted that if the number of test data at all moments before or after a certain moment is less than 8, the degree of dispersion is not calculated for it.

[0054] Calculate the difference between the back-segment dispersion degree and the front-segment dispersion degree, denoted as the dispersion difference. Take the calculation result of the exponential function with the natural constant as the base and the dispersion difference as the exponent as the abnormal characterization degree of each test parameter of each lithium battery at each moment;

[0055] In this embodiment, the difference between the latter-stage dispersion and the former-stage dispersion is calculated and denoted as the dispersion difference. Secondly, the formula for the abnormality characterization degree of each test parameter of each lithium battery at each moment is: A i,r,t = exp(vh i,r,t - vq i,r,t ), where A i,r,t is the abnormality characterization degree of the r-th test parameter of the i-th lithium battery at the t-th moment, vh i,r,t is the latter-stage dispersion of the r-th test parameter of the i-th lithium battery at the t-th moment, vq i,r,t is the former-stage dispersion of the r-th test parameter of the i-th lithium battery at the t-th moment, exp() is the exponential function with the natural constant as the base. Secondly, vh i,r,t - vq i,r,t is the dispersion difference.

[0056] Statistically analyze the frequency of the occurrence of 0 values in the test data of all moments after each moment for each test parameter of each lithium battery;

[0057] Calculate the difference between the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at each moment and the previous moment, and denote it as the relative difference amount;

[0058] In this embodiment, calculate the absolute value of the difference between the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at each moment and the previous moment, and denote it as the relative difference amount.

[0059] Take the sum of the abnormality characterization degree, the frequency, and the relative difference amount of each lithium battery under each test parameter at each moment as the poor contact coefficient of each test parameter of the lithium battery pack at each moment;

[0060] In this embodiment, the calculation method of the poor contact coefficient of each test parameter of the lithium battery pack at each moment is: where P r,t is the poor contact coefficient of the r-th test parameter of the lithium battery pack at the t-th moment, A i,r,t is the abnormality characterization degree of the r-th test parameter of the i-th lithium battery at the t-th moment, sh i,r,t is the frequency of the occurrence of 0 values in the test data of all moments after the t-th moment for the r-th test parameter of the i-th lithium battery, Δu i,r,t is the relative difference amount of the r-th test parameter of the i-th lithium battery at the t-th moment, and n is the number of all lithium batteries in the lithium battery pack in the vacuum cleaner.

[0061] It should be noted that when the abnormality characterization degree A i,r,tThe larger it is, it indicates that the fluctuation degree of the test data of the r-th test parameter of the i-th lithium battery after the t-th moment is greater than that before the t-th moment, indicating that the possibility of poor contact between the i-th lithium battery and the sensor or tester corresponding to the r-th test parameter at the t-th moment is greater; when the frequency sh i,r,t The larger it is, it indicates that the frequency of the zero value appearance of the i-th lithium battery after the t-th moment is higher, then the possibility of poor contact between the sensor or tester corresponding to the r-th test parameter of the i-th lithium battery at the t-th moment is greater; the relative difference amount Δu i,r,t The larger it is, it indicates that there is a large difference between the test data of the r-th test parameter of the i-th lithium battery at the t-th moment and the test data at the t-1 moment, then poor contact may occur at the t-th moment; the obtained poor contact coefficient P r,t The larger it is, it indicates that the possibility of poor contact between the sensor or tester corresponding to the r-th test parameter at the t-th moment and the lithium battery is greater.

[0062] Further, based on the poor contact coefficients of all test parameters of the lithium battery pack at each moment, determine the contact abnormality degree, specifically:

[0063] Take the normalized result of the sum of the poor contact coefficients of all test parameters of the lithium battery pack at each moment as the contact abnormality degree of the lithium battery pack at each moment;

[0064] In this embodiment, the sigmoid function is used for normalization processing. Among them, the sigmoid function is a well-known technology and will not be elaborated here. As other implementation manners, implementers can adopt other methods of the existing technology, such as the tanh function, etc. This embodiment does not make special restrictions on this.

[0065] It should be noted that the larger the contact abnormality degree is, it indicates that the possibility of poor contact between the sensor or tester and the lithium battery at the corresponding moment is greater.

[0066] So far, the contact abnormality degrees of the lithium battery pack at each moment are obtained.

[0067] Step 3, based on the contact abnormality degree, obtain the effective test period; by analyzing the offset situation of the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at each moment within the effective test period, obtain the deviation abnormality degree of each lithium battery at each moment within the effective test period.

[0068] Further, based on the contact abnormality degree, judge whether there is an abnormality in the contact between the sensor or tester and the lithium battery, and determine the effective test period, specifically:

[0069] The moment when the contact abnormality degree is greater than a preset first threshold is recorded as the poor contact moment; in chronological order, the first poor contact moment among all moments is recorded as the initial poor contact moment.

[0070] All moments before the initial poor contact moment are recorded as the effective test period.

[0071] In this embodiment, the value of the preset first threshold is 0.6. As other implementation manners, the implementer can set it according to the actual situation.

[0072] It should be noted that the test data after the initial poor contact moment will have large errors due to the poor contact phenomenon. When performing consistency inspection on the lithium battery pack, it is necessary to perform the inspection based on the test data before the initial poor contact moment.

[0073] Furthermore, analyze the abnormality of the test data at all moments within the effective test period, specifically:

[0074] Adopt the Z-score algorithm to calculate the Z-score of the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at each moment within the effective test period.

[0075] The sum of the Z-scores of the test data corresponding to all test parameters of each lithium battery at each moment within the effective test period is recorded as the relative deviation coefficient.

[0076] Count the number of the absolute values of the Z-scores of the test data corresponding to all test parameters of each lithium battery at each moment within the effective test period that are greater than a preset second threshold, and record it as the outlier number.

[0077] In this embodiment, the value of the preset second threshold is 3. Among them, the Z-score algorithm is a well-known technology and will not be elaborated here. The Z-score Z corresponding to the test data at the t-th moment within the effective test period t The calculation formula is: x t is the test data at the t-th moment within the effective test period, μ is the mean value of the test data at all moments within the effective test period, σ is the standard deviation of the test data at all moments within the effective test period. Among them, the preset second threshold is 3, which is set according to the 3σ criterion, that is, count the number of values of x t that are not distributed in the range of (μ - 3σ, μ + 3σ). If the value of x t is not distributed in the range of (μ - 3σ, μ + 3σ), that is, the absolute value of Z t is greater than 3, it indicates that the test data at the corresponding moment is an abnormal point. Among them, the 3σ criterion is a well-known technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0078] Multiply the relative deviation coefficient by the number of outliers as the deviation abnormality of each lithium battery at each moment within the effective test period;

[0079] It should be noted that the larger the relative deviation coefficient, the greater the degree of deviation of the test data of all test parameters of each lithium battery at the corresponding moment compared to the overall data, indicating that the test data of each lithium battery at the corresponding moment is more likely to be affected by environmental electromagnetic interference, and thus the test data at that moment is more likely to have errors; the larger the number of outliers, the greater the deviation of the test data of multiple sensors at the corresponding moment, indicating that environmental interference may have occurred at the corresponding moment, and the greater the obtained deviation abnormality, the greater the possibility that the test data of the lithium battery pack at the corresponding moment has errors; the step flow chart of the method for obtaining the deviation abnormality of each lithium battery at each moment within the effective test period provided in this embodiment is as Figure 3 shown.

[0080] Thus, the deviation abnormality of each lithium battery at each moment within the effective test period is obtained.

[0081] Step 4: Based on the deviation abnormality, perform outlier rejection on the test data at all moments within the effective test period to obtain an effective data set for each test parameter of each lithium battery; analyze the correlation of the effective data sets between different lithium batteries under each test parameter, and determine the consistency factor for each test parameter of the lithium battery pack; based on the consistency factors of all test parameters of the lithium battery pack, determine the consistency coefficient of the lithium battery pack to detect the performance of the lithium battery pack of the vacuum cleaner.

[0082] Furthermore, based on the deviation abnormality, reject the abnormal data in the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at all moments within the effective test period, specifically:

[0083] Use the threshold segmentation algorithm to perform threshold segmentation on the deviation abnormality of each lithium battery at all moments within the effective test period to obtain a segmentation threshold;

[0084] Mark the moments when the deviation abnormality is greater than the segmentation threshold as abnormal moments;

[0085] In this embodiment, the Otsu threshold segmentation algorithm is used for threshold segmentation. The Otsu threshold segmentation algorithm is a well-known technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0086] Reject the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at all the abnormal moments within the effective test period, and form an effective data set for each test parameter of each lithium battery with the test data of each test parameter of each lithium battery at all other moments within the effective test period;

[0087] Furthermore, after eliminating the test data, the difference between any two valid data sets of lithium batteries under each test parameter is analyzed to determine the consistency factor of each test parameter, which is specifically:

[0088] Calculate the mean of the correlation degree of the valid data sets of all any two lithium batteries under each test parameter as the consistency factor of each test parameter of the lithium battery group;

[0089] In this embodiment, the mean cosine similarity of the valid data sets of all any two lithium batteries under each test parameter is calculated as the consistency factor of each test parameter of the lithium battery group, wherein the calculation of cosine similarity is a well-known technology and will not be repeated here. As other implementation methods, the implementer can adopt other methods of the prior art, for example, the inverse of the DTW distance for measurement, and this embodiment does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0090] It should be noted that the greater the degree of correlation, the more similar the effective data sets of the two lithium batteries are, and the larger the obtained consistency factor is, the stronger the consistency of the corresponding test parameters of the lithium battery group is.

[0091] Further, based on the consistency factor, the consistency factors of all test parameters of the lithium battery pack are fused by weighted fusion to determine the consistency coefficient, which is specifically:

[0092] The calculation method of the consistency coefficient of the lithium battery pack is: Among them, Q is the consistency coefficient of the lithium battery pack, α r is the preset parameter weight corresponding to the rth test parameter of the lithium battery pack, U r is the consistency factor of the rth test parameter of the lithium battery pack, R is the number of all test parameters of the lithium battery pack, norm() is the normalization function, and in this embodiment, the sigmoid function is used for normalization, wherein the sigmoid function is a well-known technology and will not be described here. As other implementation methods, the implementer may adopt other methods of the prior art, such as the tanh function, etc., and this embodiment does not impose any special restrictions on this.

[0093] In this embodiment, the number R of all test parameters of the lithium battery pack is 5, corresponding to voltage, current, temperature, capacity, and internal resistance respectively. Therefore, α1, α2, α3, α4, and α5 are the preset parameter weights corresponding to voltage, current, temperature, capacity, and internal resistance respectively. Then, α1 takes a value of 0.3, α2 takes a value of 0.1, α3 takes a value of 0.1, α4 takes a value of 0.3, and α5 takes a value of 0.2, wherein α1+α2+α3+α4+α5=1. As other implementation modes, the implementer can set them according to actual conditions.

[0094] It should be noted that the larger the obtained consistency coefficient is, the higher the degree of performance consistency of each lithium battery in the lithium battery pack of the vacuum cleaner during operation, which reflects better battery performance of the lithium battery pack.

[0095] Furthermore, based on the consistency coefficient, the performance of the lithium battery pack of the vacuum cleaner is detected. Specifically:
