[0076] Various exemplary embodiments of the present specification will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0077] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the embodiments of the present specification and its application or uses.

[0078] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0079] <Method Example>

[0080] In one embodiment of the present invention, a battery pack thermal runaway warning method is provided. Figure 1 As shown, the battery pack thermal runaway warning method of this embodiment may include the following steps S110 to S130.

[0081] Step S110, determining battery pack thermal runaway detection parameters; wherein the battery pack thermal runaway detection parameters include at least two of the temperature parameters at the explosion-proof valve, the temperature parameters of the battery cell module, the voltage parameters of the single battery cell, and abnormal sampling information of the battery cell parameters.

[0082] In one embodiment, a temperature sensor is installed at the explosion-proof valve on the battery pack. The temperature sensor is used to collect the temperature at the explosion-proof valve. The temperature sensor may be an NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient Sensor) temperature sensor. The temperature value at the explosion-proof valve measured by the temperature sensor is directly collected by the BMU (Battery Management Unit), which reduces the cost overall.

[0083] The battery pack involved in this embodiment is composed of multiple battery cells. The multiple battery cells are divided into multiple battery cell modules. Based on each battery cell module, one or more temperature sensors are used to measure its temperature. The AFE (Analog Front End) collects the voltage value of each single battery cell and the temperature value of each battery cell module measured by each temperature sensor.

[0084] Step S120, determining the battery pack thermal runaway warning level according to the battery pack thermal runaway detection parameters.

[0085] In one embodiment, when the thermal runaway detection parameters of the battery pack are the temperature parameters at the explosion-proof valve, the temperature parameters of the battery cell module, the voltage parameters of the single battery cell, and the abnormal sampling information of the battery cell parameters, step S120 specifically includes: determining the first thermal runaway warning level according to the temperature parameters at the explosion-proof valve, determining the second thermal runaway warning level according to the temperature parameters of the battery cell module, determining the third thermal runaway warning level according to the voltage parameters of the single battery cell, and determining the fourth thermal runaway warning level according to the abnormal sampling information of the battery cell parameters, and then determining the thermal runaway warning level of the battery pack according to the first thermal runaway warning level, the second thermal runaway warning level, the third thermal runaway warning level, and the fourth thermal runaway warning level. In this embodiment, the thermal runaway warning level of the battery pack is determined from four dimensions: the temperature parameters at the explosion-proof valve, the temperature parameters of the battery cell module, the voltage parameters of the single battery cell, and the abnormal sampling information of the battery cell parameters, which improves the accuracy and reduces the risk of false alarms.

[0086] In one embodiment, the temperature parameter at the explosion-proof valve includes a temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve and a maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve. According to the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve, a first level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined, and according to the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve, a second level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined. The highest level of the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level and the second level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined as the first thermal runaway warning level.

[0087] The temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve is calculated based on the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor at the explosion-proof valve. Specifically, the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor within a sampling period is obtained, and the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve is calculated based on the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor within the sampling period. For example, the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve is calculated based on the lowest temperature value within the sampling period, the highest temperature value within the sampling period, and the sampling time interval between the lowest temperature value and the highest temperature value. It should be noted that, in this calculation method, the condition that needs to be met is that the sampling time of the highest temperature value is later than the sampling time of the lowest temperature value. For another example, the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve is calculated based on the first sampled temperature value within the sampling period, the last sampled temperature value and the duration of the sampling period.

[0088] The maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve is calculated based on the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor at the explosion-proof valve. Specifically, the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor within a sampling period is obtained, and the maximum temperature value within the sampling period is determined as the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve.

[0089] The duration of the sampling period is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 1s, 3s.

[0090] It should be noted that before determining the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve and the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve according to the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor at the explosion-proof valve, it is determined whether the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor at the explosion-proof valve is valid. If the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor at the explosion-proof valve is valid, the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve and the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve are determined.

[0091] In one example, when the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve exceeds a first preset temperature rise rate threshold, the duration of the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve is obtained. Then, the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined according to the duration of the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve.

[0092] Specifically, when the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve does not exceed the first preset temperature rise rate threshold, the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0. When the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve exceeds the first preset temperature rise rate threshold, the duration of the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve is obtained. When the duration of the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve exceeds the first preset duration, the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2. When the duration of the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve does not exceed the first preset duration, and the duration of the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve exceeds the second preset duration, the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1. When the duration of the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve does not exceed the second preset duration, the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0. The first preset duration is greater than the second preset duration.

[0093] The first preset temperature rise rate threshold is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 5° / s. The first preset time length is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 2s. The second preset time length is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 1s.

[0094] In one example, when the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve exceeds the first preset temperature threshold, the duration of the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve is obtained, and then the second level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined according to the duration of the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve.

[0095] Specifically, when the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve does not exceed the first preset temperature threshold, the second level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0. When the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve exceeds the first preset temperature threshold, the duration of the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve is obtained. When the duration of the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve exceeds the third preset duration, the second level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2. When the duration of the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve does not exceed the third preset duration, and the duration of the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve exceeds the fourth preset duration, the second level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1. When the duration of the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve does not exceed the fourth preset duration, the second level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0. The third preset duration is greater than the fourth preset duration.

[0096] The first preset temperature threshold is a pre-calibrated value. The third preset time length is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 2 seconds. The fourth preset time length is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 1 second.

[0097] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a process for determining a first thermal runaway warning level according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 , determining the first thermal runaway warning level includes steps S201 to S220.

[0098] Step S201, obtaining a temperature value measured by a temperature sensor at the explosion-proof valve.

[0099] Step S202, determining whether the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor at the explosion-proof valve is valid.

[0100] When the judgment result of step S202 is valid, step S203 is executed to determine the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve and the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve according to the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor at the explosion-proof valve.

[0101] Step S204, determining whether the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve exceeds a first preset temperature rise rate threshold.

[0102] If the judgment result of step S204 is no, step S205 is executed, and the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0103] If the judgment result of step S204 is yes, step S206 is executed to obtain the duration of the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve.

[0104] Step S207, determining whether the duration of the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve exceeds a first preset duration.

[0105] If the judgment result of step S207 is yes, step S208 is executed and the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2.

[0106] If the judgment result of step S207 is no, step S209 is executed to judge whether the duration of the temperature rise rate at the explosion-proof valve exceeds a second preset time length. The first preset time length is greater than the second preset time length.

[0107] If the determination result of step S209 is yes, step S210 is executed and the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1.

[0108] When the judgment result of step S209 is no, step S211 is executed, and the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0109] Step S212, determining whether the maximum temperature value at the explosion-proof valve exceeds a first preset temperature threshold.

[0110] When the judgment result of step S212 is no, step S213 is executed and the second level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0111] If the judgment result of step S212 is yes, step S214 is executed to obtain the duration of the highest temperature value at the explosion-proof valve.

[0112] Step S215, determining whether the duration of the highest temperature value at the explosion-proof valve exceeds a third preset duration.

[0113] If the judgment result of step S215 is yes, step S216 is executed and the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2.

[0114] If the result of the determination in step S215 is negative, step S217 is executed to determine whether the duration of the highest temperature value at the explosion-proof valve exceeds a fourth preset duration. The third preset duration is greater than the fourth preset duration.

[0115] If the determination result of step S217 is yes, step S218 is executed and the second level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1.

[0116] When the judgment result of step S217 is no, step S219 is executed and the second level of the first thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0117] Step S220: determining the highest level of the first level of the first thermal runaway warning level and the second level of the first thermal runaway warning level as the first thermal runaway warning level.

[0118] The first thermal runaway warning level is determined by collecting the temperature parameters at the explosion-proof valve through the temperature sensor added at the explosion-proof valve, thereby realizing the determination of the thermal runaway warning level of the battery pack from the dimension of the temperature parameters at the explosion-proof valve. At the same time, the temperature sensor added at the explosion-proof valve is low in cost and will not increase the production cost excessively.

[0119] In one embodiment, the temperature parameters of the battery cell modules include the temperature rise rate in each battery cell module, the maximum temperature value in each battery cell module, and the number of upgrades of the temperature outlier risk level of each battery cell module. According to the temperature rise rate in each battery cell module, the first level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined, according to the maximum temperature value in each battery cell module, the second level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined, and according to the number of upgrades of the temperature outlier risk level of each battery cell module, the third level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined. The highest level among the first level of the second thermal runaway warning level, the second level of the second thermal runaway warning level, and the third level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined as the second thermal runaway warning level.

[0120] Based on each battery cell module, the temperature rise rate in the battery cell module is calculated based on the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor of the battery cell module. Specifically, the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor within a sampling period is obtained, and the temperature rise rate in the battery cell module is calculated based on the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor within the sampling period. For example, the temperature rise rate in the battery cell module is calculated based on the lowest temperature value within the sampling period, the highest temperature value within the sampling period, and the sampling time interval between the lowest temperature value and the highest temperature value. It should be noted that, using this calculation method, the condition that needs to be met is that the sampling time of the highest temperature value is later than the sampling time of the lowest temperature value. For another example, the temperature rise rate in the battery cell module is calculated based on the first sampled temperature value within the sampling period, the last sampled temperature value and the length of the sampling period.

[0121] Based on each battery cell module, the maximum temperature value in the battery cell module is calculated based on the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor of the battery cell module. Specifically, the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor in a sampling period is obtained, and the maximum temperature value in the sampling period is determined as the maximum temperature value in the battery cell module.

[0122] The duration of the sampling period is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 1s, 3s.

[0123] It should be noted that, based on each battery cell module, before determining the temperature rise rate of the battery cell module, the maximum temperature value of the battery cell module, and the number of times the temperature in the battery cell module meets the preset temperature rise requirements according to the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor of the battery cell module, it is determined whether the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor of the battery cell module is valid. If the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor of the battery cell module is valid, the temperature rise rate of the battery cell module, the maximum temperature value of the battery cell module, and the number of times the temperature in the battery cell module meets the preset temperature rise requirements are determined.

[0124] In one example, when the temperature rise rate in at least one battery cell module exceeds the second preset temperature rise rate threshold, the duration of the temperature rise rate in at least one battery cell module is obtained. Then, according to the duration of the temperature rise rate in at least one battery cell module, the first level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined.

[0125] Specifically, when the temperature rise rate in all battery modules does not exceed the second preset temperature rise rate threshold, the first level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0. When the temperature rise rate in at least one battery module exceeds the second preset temperature rise rate threshold, the duration of the temperature rise rate in the corresponding battery module is obtained. When the duration of the temperature rise rate in the corresponding battery module exceeds the fifth preset duration, the first level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2. When the duration of the temperature rise rate in the corresponding battery module does not exceed the fifth preset duration, and when the duration of the temperature rise rate in the corresponding battery module exceeds the sixth preset duration, the first level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1. When the duration of the temperature rise rate in the corresponding battery module does not exceed the sixth preset duration, the first level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0. The fifth preset duration is greater than the sixth preset duration.

[0126] The second preset temperature rise rate threshold is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 5° / s. The fifth preset time length is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 2s. The sixth preset time length is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 1s.

[0127] In one example, when the maximum temperature value in at least one battery cell module exceeds the second preset temperature threshold, the duration of the maximum temperature value in at least one battery cell module is obtained. Then, according to the duration of the maximum temperature value in at least one battery cell module, the second level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined.

[0128] Specifically, when the maximum temperature values ​​in all battery modules do not exceed the second preset temperature threshold, the second level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0. When the maximum temperature value in at least one battery module exceeds the second preset temperature threshold, the duration of the corresponding maximum temperature value in the battery module is obtained. When the duration of the maximum temperature value in the corresponding battery module exceeds the seventh preset duration, the second level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2. When the duration of the maximum temperature value in the corresponding battery module does not exceed the seventh preset duration, and the duration of the maximum temperature value in the corresponding battery module exceeds the eighth preset duration, the second level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1. When the duration of the maximum temperature value in the corresponding battery module does not exceed the eighth preset duration, the second level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0. The seventh preset duration is greater than the eighth preset duration.

[0129] The second preset temperature threshold is a pre-calibrated value. The seventh preset time length is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 2s. The eighth preset time length is a pre-calibrated value, for example, 1s.

[0130] In one embodiment, the temperature in each battery module and the preset temperature difference threshold value within a sampling period are obtained. Based on the temperature in each battery module at each sampling moment, the average temperature value of the temperature in all battery modules at each sampling moment is determined. Based on the temperature in each battery module at each sampling moment, the average temperature value of the temperature in all battery modules at each sampling moment, and the preset temperature difference threshold value, the temperature outlier risk level of each battery module at each sampling moment is determined. Based on the temperature outlier risk level of each battery module at each sampling moment, the number of upgrades of the temperature outlier risk level of each battery module is determined.

[0131] Specifically, based on a sampling moment, according to the temperature in each battery cell module at the sampling moment, the average temperature value of the temperature in all battery cell modules at the sampling moment is calculated. The temperature value in each battery cell module at the sampling moment is subtracted from the average temperature value to obtain the temperature difference value between the temperature value in each battery cell module at the sampling moment and the average temperature value. Then, according to the temperature difference value between the temperature value in each battery cell module at the sampling moment and the average temperature value and the temperature difference threshold, the temperature outlier risk level of each battery cell module at the sampling moment is obtained. For example, the temperature outlier risk level of each battery cell module at a sampling moment can be determined according to the quotient value obtained by dividing the temperature difference value by the temperature difference threshold. The quotient value may be an integer or not. According to the temperature outlier risk level of each battery cell module at all sampling moments, the number of upgrades of the temperature outlier risk level of each battery cell module is determined.

[0132] It should be noted that, based on a sampling moment, according to the temperature inside each battery cell module at the sampling moment, the highest temperature value and the lowest temperature value of each battery cell module are eliminated to obtain the average temperature value of the temperature inside all battery cell modules at the sampling moment.

[0133] In the case where the number of upgrades of the temperature outlier risk level of at least one battery module exceeds the first preset number of times, the third level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 2. In the case where the number of upgrades of the temperature outlier risk level of all battery modules does not exceed the first preset number of times, and the number of upgrades of the temperature outlier risk level of at least one battery module exceeds the second preset number of times, the third level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 1. In the case where the number of upgrades of the temperature outlier risk level of all battery modules does not exceed the second preset number of times, the third level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 0. The first preset number of times is higher than the second preset number of times.

[0134] For example, there are multiple battery modules, and battery module No. 1 and battery module No. 2 are taken as examples for specific description. At sampling time t1, the temperature inside battery module No. 1 is 31°, and the temperature inside battery module No. 2 is 41°. At sampling time t1, the average temperature value of the temperature inside all battery modules is 25°. The temperature difference threshold ΔT is 3°. At sampling time t1, the temperature outlier risk level of battery module No. 1 is level 2 (2*ΔT<6°<3*ΔT), and the temperature outlier risk level of battery module No. 2 is level 5 (5*ΔT<16°<6*ΔT). In one sampling period, the temperature outlier risk level of battery module No. 1 is upgraded from level 2 to level 3, then from level 3 to level 4, and finally from level 4 to level 5. The temperature outlier risk level of battery module No. 2 is upgraded from level 3 to level 4. In one sampling period, the temperature outlier risk level of battery module No. 1 is upgraded 3 times. The temperature outlier risk level of cell module No. 2 is upgraded once. The first preset number of times is 2 times, and the second preset number of times is 1 time. Since the number of upgrades of the temperature outlier risk level of cell module No. 1 exceeds the first preset number of times, the third level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 2.

[0135] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a process for determining a second thermal runaway warning level according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 , determining the second thermal runaway warning level includes steps S301 to S329.

[0136] Step S301, obtaining a temperature value measured by a temperature sensor of the battery cell module.

[0137] Step S302, determining whether the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor of the battery cell module is valid.

[0147] Step S312, determining whether there is at least one battery cell module whose maximum temperature value exceeds a second preset temperature threshold.

[0148] When the judgment result of step S312 is no, step S313 is executed and the second level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0149] If the judgment result of step S312 is yes, step S314 is executed to obtain the duration of the highest temperature value in at least one battery cell module.

[0151] If the judgment result of step S315 is yes, step S316 is executed and the first level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2.

[0152] If the result of the determination in step S315 is negative, step S317 is executed to determine whether the duration of the highest temperature value in at least one battery cell module exceeds the eighth preset duration. The seventh preset duration is greater than the eighth preset duration.

[0153] If the determination result of step S317 is yes, step S318 is executed and the second level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1.

[0154] When the judgment result of step S317 is negative, step S319 is executed and the second level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0155] Step S320 , based on a sampling cycle, according to the temperature inside each battery cell module at each sampling moment, calculate the average temperature value of the temperature inside all battery cell modules at each sampling moment.

[0156] Step S321 , subtracting the temperature value in each battery cell module at each sampling moment from the corresponding average temperature value, to obtain the temperature difference between the temperature value in each battery cell module at each sampling moment and the average temperature value.

[0159] Step S324 , determining whether there is at least one battery cell module whose temperature outlier risk level is upgraded more than a first preset number of times.

[0160] If the determination result of step S324 is yes, step S325 is executed and the third level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2.

[0161] If the result of the determination in step S324 is negative, step S326 is executed to determine whether the number of times the temperature outlier risk level of at least one battery cell module is upgraded exceeds a second preset number. The first preset number is higher than the second preset number.

[0162] If the determination result of step S326 is yes, step S327 is executed and the third level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1.

[0163] When the determination result of step S326 is negative, step S328 is executed and the third level of the second thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0164] Step S329: determining the highest level among the first level of the second thermal runaway warning level, the second level of the second thermal runaway warning level and the third level of the second thermal runaway warning level as the second thermal runaway warning level.

[0165] The second thermal runaway warning level is determined by the battery cell module temperature parameters, which realizes the second thermal runaway warning level of the battery pack determined from the dimension of the battery cell module temperature parameters. In addition, the battery cell module temperature parameters are specifically refined into three parameters: the temperature rise rate in each battery cell module, the maximum temperature value in each battery cell module and the number of upgrades of the temperature outlier risk level of each battery cell module. Based on each parameter, a corresponding thermal runaway warning level can be determined. The second thermal runaway warning level is determined by combining the thermal runaway warning levels corresponding to these three parameters, which is more detailed, more comprehensive and more accurate.

[0166] In one embodiment, the single cell voltage parameter includes the number of times the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell is upgraded. The fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined according to the number of times the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell is upgraded.

[0167] In one embodiment, the voltage value of each single cell and the preset voltage difference threshold value within a sampling period are obtained. According to the voltage value of each single cell at each sampling moment, the average voltage value of all the single cell voltage values ​​at each sampling moment is determined. According to the voltage value of each single cell at each sampling moment, the average voltage value of all the single cell voltage values ​​at each sampling moment, and the preset voltage difference threshold value, the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell at each sampling moment is determined. According to the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell at each sampling moment, the number of times the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell is upgraded is determined.

[0168] Specifically, based on a sampling moment, according to the voltage value of each single cell at the sampling moment, the average voltage value of all the single cell voltage values ​​at the sampling moment is calculated. The voltage value of each single cell at the sampling moment is subtracted from the average voltage value to obtain the voltage difference between the single cell voltage value and the average voltage value. Then, according to the voltage difference between the voltage value of each single cell at the sampling moment and the average voltage value and the voltage difference threshold, the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell at the sampling moment is obtained. For example, the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell at a sampling moment can be determined according to the quotient value obtained by dividing the voltage difference value by the voltage difference threshold. The quotient value may be an integer or not. According to the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell at all sampling moments, the number of times the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell is upgraded is determined.

[0169] It should be noted that based on a sampling moment, according to the voltage value of each single cell at the sampling moment, the highest voltage value of each single cell and the lowest voltage value of each single cell are eliminated to obtain the average voltage value of the voltage values ​​of all single cells at the sampling moment.

[0170] When the number of times the voltage outlier risk level of at least one single cell is upgraded exceeds the third preset number of times, the third thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 2. When the number of times the voltage outlier risk level of all single cells is upgraded does not exceed the third preset number of times, and the number of times the voltage outlier risk level of at least one single cell is upgraded exceeds the fourth preset number of times, the third thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 1. When the number of times the voltage outlier risk level of all single cells is upgraded does not exceed the fourth preset number of times, the third thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 0. The third preset number of times is higher than the fourth preset number of times.

[0171] For example, there are multiple single cells, and a specific description is given by taking single cell No. 1 and single cell No. 2 as examples. At sampling time t1, the voltage value of single cell No. 1 is 3V, and the voltage value of single cell No. 2 is 2.7V. At sampling time t1, the average voltage value of the voltage values ​​of all single cells is 2.5V. The voltage difference threshold ΔV is 0.3V. At sampling time t1, the voltage outlier risk level of single cell No. 1 is level 1 (1*ΔV<0.5V<2*ΔV), and the voltage outlier risk level of single cell No. 2 is level 0 (0*ΔV<0.2V<1*ΔV). Within a sampling cycle, the voltage outlier risk level of single cell No. 1 is upgraded from level 1 to level 2. The voltage outlier risk level of single cell No. 2 is upgraded from level 0 to level 1, and then from level 1 to level 2. Within a sampling cycle, the voltage outlier risk level of single cell No. 1 is upgraded once. The voltage outlier risk level of single cell No. 2 is upgraded twice. The first preset number of times is 2 times, and the second preset number of times is 1 time. Since the number of times the voltage outlier risk level of the No. 2 single cell is upgraded exceeds the first preset number of times, the third thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 2.

[0172] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a process for determining a third thermal runaway warning level according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 , determining the third thermal runaway warning level includes steps S401 to S410.

[0173] Step S401, based on a sampling period, obtaining the voltage value of each single cell.

[0174] Step S402, determining whether the voltage value of each single cell is valid.

[0175] When the judgment result of step S402 is valid, step S403 is executed to determine the average voltage value of all the single cell voltage values ​​at each sampling moment according to the voltage value of each single cell at each sampling moment.

[0176] Step S404 , determining the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell at each sampling moment according to the voltage value of each single cell at each sampling moment, the average voltage value of all the voltage values ​​of the single cells at each sampling moment, and the preset voltage difference threshold.

[0177] Step S405 , determining the number of times the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell is upgraded according to the voltage outlier risk level of each single cell at each sampling moment.

[0178] Step S406 , determining whether there is at least one single cell whose voltage outlier risk level is upgraded a number of times exceeding a third preset number of times.

[0179] If the determination result of step S406 is yes, step S407 is executed and the third thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2.

[0180] If the result of the determination in step S406 is negative, step S408 is executed to determine whether the number of times the voltage outlier risk level of at least one single cell is upgraded exceeds a fourth preset number. The third preset number is higher than the fourth preset number.

[0181] If the determination result of step S408 is yes, step S409 is executed and the third thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1.

[0182] When the determination result of step S408 is negative, step S410 is executed and the third thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0183] The third thermal runaway warning level is determined through the single cell voltage parameters, thereby realizing the third thermal runaway warning level of the battery pack determined from the dimension of the single cell voltage parameters.

[0184] In one embodiment, the abnormal sampling information of the battery cell parameters includes the number of battery cell modules with disconnected temperature sampling, the number of single battery cells with disconnected voltage sampling, and the number of battery cell modules with a temperature drop rate exceeding a preset drop rate threshold.

[0185] The number of battery cell modules where temperature sampling is disconnected is at least one of the number of discontinuous battery cell modules where temperature sampling is disconnected and the number of continuous battery cell modules where temperature sampling is disconnected.

[0186] The number of single cells where voltage sampling is disconnected is at least one of the number of non-continuous single cells where voltage sampling is disconnected and the number of continuous single cells where voltage sampling is disconnected.

[0187] The reason for the disconnection in the sampling may be a short circuit in the single battery cell.

[0188] Based on a battery cell module, the temperature drop rate in the battery cell module is calculated according to the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor of the battery cell module. Specifically, the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor within a sampling period is obtained, and the temperature drop rate in the battery cell module is calculated according to the temperature value measured by the temperature sensor within the sampling period. For example, the temperature drop rate in the battery cell module is calculated according to the lowest temperature value within the sampling period, the highest temperature value within the sampling period, and the sampling time interval between the lowest temperature value and the highest temperature value. It should be noted that, using this calculation method, the condition that needs to be met is that the sampling time of the lowest temperature value is later than the sampling time of the highest temperature value. For another example, the temperature drop rate in the battery cell module is calculated according to the first sampled temperature value, the last sampled temperature value and the length of the sampling period within the sampling period.

[0189] In this embodiment, the first level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined according to the number of battery modules with disconnected temperature sampling. The second level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined according to the number of single battery cells with disconnected voltage sampling. The third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined according to the number of battery modules with a temperature drop rate exceeding a preset drop rate threshold. The highest level among the first level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level, the second level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level, and the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined as the fourth thermal runaway warning level.

[0190] When the number of battery modules with disconnected temperature sampling exceeds the first preset number, the first level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 2. When the number of battery modules with disconnected temperature sampling does not exceed the first preset number and is greater than 0, the first level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 1. When the number of battery modules with disconnected temperature sampling is 0, the first level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 0.

[0191] When the number of single cells with disconnected voltage sampling exceeds the second preset number, the second level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 2. When the number of single cells with disconnected voltage sampling does not exceed the second preset number and is greater than 0, the second level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 1. When the number of single cells with disconnected voltage sampling is 0, the second level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be level 0.

[0192] When the number of battery cell modules with a temperature drop rate exceeding a preset temperature drop rate threshold exceeds a third preset number, the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2. When the number of battery cell modules with a temperature drop rate exceeding the preset temperature drop rate threshold does not exceed the third preset number and is greater than 0, the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1. When the number of battery cell modules with a temperature drop rate exceeding the preset temperature drop rate threshold is 0, the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0193] For example, when the temperature sampling of m or more battery cell modules is disconnected, or the temperature sampling of n (n < m) or more adjacent battery cell modules is disconnected, or the voltage sampling of k or more single battery cells is disconnected, or there are h or more battery cell modules with a temperature drop rate exceeding the preset temperature drop rate threshold, the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2.

[0194] Except for the case where the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is 2 as described above, when the temperature sampling of battery cell modules within m is disconnected, or the temperature sampling of n (n < m) or more adjacent battery cell modules within m is disconnected, or the voltage sampling of k or more single battery cells within k is disconnected, or there are h or more battery cell modules with a temperature drop rate exceeding the preset temperature drop rate threshold within h, the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1.

[0195] When the temperature sampling of the battery cell module is not disconnected, and the voltage sampling of the single battery cell is not disconnected, and there are no battery cell modules with a temperature drop rate exceeding the preset temperature drop rate threshold, the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0196] Figure 5 It is a processing flowchart for determining the fourth thermal runaway warning level according to an embodiment of the present invention. Refer to Figure 5 , the determination of the second thermal runaway warning level includes steps S501 to S517.

[0197] Step S501, obtain the number of battery cell modules with disconnected temperature sampling, the number of single battery cells with disconnected voltage sampling, and the number of battery cell modules with a temperature drop rate exceeding the preset temperature drop rate threshold.

[0198] Step S502, determine whether the number of battery cell modules with disconnected temperature sampling exceeds a first preset number.

[0199] When the determination result in step S502 is yes, execute step S503, and the first level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2.

[0200] When the judgment result of step S502 is no, step S504 is executed to judge whether the number of battery cell modules with disconnected temperature sampling is greater than 0.

[0201] If the determination result of step S504 is yes, step S505 is executed and the first level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1.

[0202] When the determination result of step S504 is negative, step S506 is executed and the first level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1.

[0203] Step S507 , determining whether the number of single cells with disconnected voltage sampling exceeds a second preset number.

[0204] If the determination result of step S507 is yes, step S508 is executed and the second level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2.

[0205] If the determination result of step S507 is no, step S509 is executed to determine whether the number of single cells whose voltage sampling is disconnected is greater than 0.

[0206] If the determination result of step S509 is yes, step S510 is executed and the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1.

[0207] When the determination result of step S509 is negative, step S511 is executed, and the first level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0208] Step S512, determining whether the number of battery cell modules whose temperature drop rate exceeds a preset drop rate threshold value exceeds a third preset number.

[0209] If the determination result of step S512 is yes, step S513 is executed and the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 2.

[0210] When the determination result of step S512 is no, step S514 is executed to determine whether the number of battery cell modules whose temperature drop rate exceeds a preset drop rate threshold is greater than 0.

[0211] If the determination result of step S514 is yes, step S515 is executed and the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 1.

[0212] If the determination result of step S514 is negative, step S516 is executed and the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined to be 0.

[0213] In step S517, the highest level among the first level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level, the second level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level and the third level of the fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined as the fourth thermal runaway warning level.

[0214] The fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined through the abnormal sampling information of the battery cell parameters, which realizes the determination of the fourth thermal runaway warning level of the battery pack from the dimension of the abnormal sampling information of the battery cell parameters. In addition, the abnormal sampling information of the battery cell parameters is specifically refined into three parameters: the number of battery cell modules with broken temperature sampling, the number of single battery cells with broken voltage sampling, and the number of battery cell modules whose temperature drop rate exceeds a preset drop rate threshold. Based on each parameter, a corresponding thermal runaway warning level can be determined. The fourth thermal runaway warning level is determined by combining the thermal runaway warning levels corresponding to these three parameters, which is more detailed, more comprehensive, and more accurate.

[0215] In one embodiment, the weight values ​​corresponding to the first thermal runaway warning level, the second thermal runaway warning level, the third thermal runaway warning level, and the fourth thermal runaway warning level are obtained. The thermal runaway warning level of the battery pack is determined according to the first thermal runaway warning level, the second thermal runaway warning level, the third thermal runaway warning level, the fourth thermal runaway warning level, and the corresponding weight values.

[0216] The weight value corresponding to the first thermal runaway warning level, the weight value corresponding to the second thermal runaway warning level, the weight value corresponding to the third thermal runaway warning level, and the weight value corresponding to the fourth thermal runaway warning level can be set according to requirements.

[0217] Step S130: issuing a corresponding warning message according to the thermal runaway warning level of the battery pack.

[0218] Different battery pack thermal runaway warning levels correspond to different warning messages. For example, when the battery pack thermal runaway warning level is the highest level, the warning message issued is "The vehicle battery pack has thermal runaway, please stay away from the vehicle." When the battery pack thermal runaway warning level is a lower level, the warning message issued is "The vehicle may be at risk of thermal runaway."

[0219] The battery pack thermal runaway warning method provided by the present invention obtains at least two parameters of the temperature parameters at the explosion-proof valve, the temperature parameters of the battery cell module, the voltage parameters of the single battery cell and the abnormal sampling information of the battery cell parameters, determines the thermal runaway warning level of the battery pack according to at least two of the temperature parameters at the explosion-proof valve, the temperature parameters of the battery cell module, the voltage parameters of the single battery cell and the abnormal sampling information of the battery cell parameters, and issues corresponding warning information according to the thermal runaway warning level of the battery pack. It can determine the thermal runaway warning level of the battery pack from multiple dimensions, and issue corresponding warning information based on different thermal runaway warning levels of the battery pack, which is more detailed, improves accuracy and reduces the risk of false alarms.

[0220] <Device Example>

[0221] An embodiment of the present invention provides a battery pack thermal runaway warning device, such as Figure 6 The battery pack thermal runaway warning device 600 includes a thermal runaway detection parameter determination module 610 , a thermal runaway warning level determination module 620 and a warning information issuing module 630 .

[0222] The thermal runaway detection parameter determination module 610 is used to determine the thermal runaway detection parameters of the battery pack; wherein the thermal runaway detection parameters of the battery pack include at least two of the temperature parameters at the explosion-proof valve, the temperature parameters of the battery cell module, the voltage parameters of the single battery cell, and the abnormal battery cell parameters and the invalid sampling information of the battery cell parameters.

[0223] The thermal runaway warning level determination module 620 is used to determine the battery pack thermal runaway warning level according to the battery pack thermal runaway detection parameters.
