Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solid-state battery production, and in particular to a production microenvironment device and control method for sulfide all-solid-state batteries. Background Art

[0002] There are three main technical routes for all-solid-state batteries: polymer, sulfide, and oxide. At present, the ionic conductivity of sulfide solid electrolytes has initially met the requirements, and subsequent material modification can further improve the ionic conductivity and environmental adaptability. The sulfide system has high technical maturity, rapid development progress, and is most likely to be mass-produced in the short term. It is the best overall choice. Major car companies on the market have all taken sulfide as the preferred technical route for all-solid-state electrolyte materials and the main development direction.

[0003] Generally, sulfide solid electrolytes (such as Li6PS5Cl) will produce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in a dry environment with moisture. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless, highly toxic acidic gas. According to the "GBZT 259-2014 Guidelines for Occupational Hazard Protection of Hydrogen Sulfide", the upper limit of occupational exposure to hydrogen sulfide is ≤10mg / m 3 . During the development and trial production of sulfide all-solid-state batteries, for the sake of personnel safety, it is necessary to specially control the amount and range of hydrogen sulfide release. Existing patents and literature have not yet provided an effective hydrogen sulfide release control device during the production of sulfide all-solid-state batteries and a general control logic solution within the device. It is impossible to effectively control the concentration of hydrogen sulfide under multiple working conditions, and it is impossible to effectively guide the development and construction of sulfide all-solid-state battery production lines, which leads to low development efficiency and production efficiency of sulfide all-solid-state batteries. Summary of the invention

Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0051] The equipment cover of the existing lithium battery production line cannot meet the production of sulfide all-solid-state batteries. The disadvantages are as follows:

[0052] ① The existing equipment cover does not take sealing into consideration, and the gas generated during the equipment production process will escape to the outside of the equipment cover without restriction, and the escape of hydrogen sulfide generated during the production of sulfide all-solid-state batteries cannot be effectively controlled;

[0053] ② The material selection of the existing equipment cover does not take into account the protection against hydrogen sulfide corrosion. The equipment cover is in an environment containing hydrogen sulfide for a long time and cannot effectively maintain the protection requirements of the equipment cover against hydrogen sulfide;

[0054] ③ The air pressure inside the existing equipment cover is usually a positive pressure environment, which cannot form a negative pressure inside the equipment cover environment. The positive pressure condition outside the equipment cover environment controls the escape of hydrogen sulfide;

[0055] ④ The existing equipment cover ventilation conditions are relatively simple, with only FFU air intake and FFU is a fixed-frequency fan, which cannot achieve dynamic adjustment of the control of hydrogen sulfide concentration under different working conditions.

[0056] Based on this, it is necessary to design a highly reliable small environment device suitable for the production of sulfide all-solid-state batteries and the general control logic of the device to solve the following problems:

[0057] ① Provide a new device structure (small environment cover) that can fully seal the equipment that produces hydrogen sulfide, while achieving negative pressure in the device environment to control the release range of hydrogen sulfide;

[0058] ② Provide general control logic and control objectives in the small environment cover under multiple working conditions;

[0059] ③ Provide simulation effect of small environment cover on the control of hydrogen sulfide release range, and provide scientific basis for production line construction.

[0060] The key technologies mainly include: the first hydrogen sulfide release range control device structure (small environment cover), optimization of the small environment cover control logic, meeting the needs of dynamic hydrogen sulfide balance under multiple working conditions, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of battery cell development.

The selected materials and structural methods meet the performance requirements of the environmental room for the production of sulfide all-solid-state batteries, such as structural strength, sealing structure, and corrosion resistance. In addition, the control logic meets the needs of multiple working conditions and can be used for various types of equipment to achieve centralized control of the entire line. The development cost of the entire line is lower, which is conducive to centralized control of the entire line. Thus, the production microenvironment device of the sulfide all-solid-state battery can achieve the technical effect of improving the development efficiency and production efficiency of sulfide all-solid-state batteries.

[0066] Exemplarily, the production microenvironment device also includes a movable door assembly 600, which includes at least one movable door 610.

[0077] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 A flow chart of a control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the control method is applied to Figures 1 to 4 The production microenvironment device of the sulfide all-solid-state battery shown in the figure, and the control method include:

[0078] S100: Acquire sensor information of a production microenvironment device, where the sensor information includes one or more sensor information of a wind pressure sensor, a hydrogen sulfide sensor, and a dew point temperature sensor;

[0081] Exemplarily, the control logic meets the needs of multiple working conditions, can be used for various types of equipment and realize centralized control of the entire line, with lower development costs for the entire line, which is conducive to centralized management and control of the entire line; thus, the control method can achieve the technical effect of improving the development efficiency and production efficiency of sulfide all-solid-state batteries.

[0082] Exemplarily, S300: the step of controlling the fresh air mechanism of the sealing cover and the fresh air mechanism of the isolation chamber according to the control instruction includes:

[0083] The sealing cover fresh air mechanism and the isolation chamber fresh air mechanism are respectively connected to the PLC control cabinet, and the PLC control cabinet controls the operation of the sealing cover fresh air mechanism and the isolation chamber fresh air mechanism according to the preset working conditions and control instructions.

[0084] Exemplarily, the preset working conditions include continuous production working conditions, loading and unloading working conditions and accident working conditions. The production microenvironment device of the sulfide all-solid-state battery also includes an accident emergency exhaust fan. The steps of the PLC control cabinet controlling the operation of the sealing cover fresh air mechanism and the isolation chamber fresh air mechanism according to the preset working conditions and control instructions include:

[0086] If the current working condition is a continuous production working condition, a first control instruction is generated, and under the first control instruction, the air supply volume of the fresh air mechanism of the sealing cover is less than the exhaust volume of the hydrogen sulfide exhaust pipeline;

Under the third control instruction, the air supply volume of the fresh air mechanism of the sealing cover is less than the total value of the exhaust volume of the hydrogen sulfide exhaust pipeline and the exhaust volume of the accident emergency exhaust fan.

[0089] In some embodiments, in combination Figures 1 to 5 The production microenvironment device and control method of the sulfide all-solid-state battery shown in the figure, the specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0090] Environmental conditions in the small environment hood: ambient temperature 25℃±4℃, cleanliness level 100,000. The working conditions are divided into continuous production conditions (fully enclosed small environment hood), short-term loading and unloading conditions (small environment hood movable door open, including short-term maintenance of faults), and accident conditions;

[0091] If all environmental monitoring parameters are within the defined parameters, it is defined as a continuous production condition. If all environmental monitoring parameters are within the defined parameters and the movable door is in the open state, it is defined as a short-term loading and unloading condition. If one or more environmental monitoring parameters are abnormal, it is defined as an accident condition. The environmental monitoring definition parameters of each condition are calibrated as shown in Table 1:

[0092] Table 1- Environmental conditions definition parameters

[0093] Working condition type Hydrogen sulfide concentration Dew point Wind pressure Continuous production conditions ≤5ppm -35℃~-30℃ -30Pa~-10Pa Short-term loading and unloading conditions 5ppm~10ppm -60℃~-35℃ -50Pa~-30Pa Accident conditions >10ppm -30℃ and above -50Pa and below

[0094] Among them, the input module is responsible for receiving signals from the wind pressure sensor, hydrogen sulfide sensor and dew point meter arranged in the plant space and the small environment cover. The output module is responsible for sending control signals to the FFU, process exhaust fan and accident emergency exhaust fan. The PLC control cabinet outputs the corresponding control signal according to the state change of the input signal after program logic processing. The PLC control cabinet controls the FFU, process exhaust fan and accident emergency exhaust fan through the internally stored program (ladder diagram, function block diagram, instruction list or structured text).

[0095] Wind pressure sensors, hydrogen sulfide sensors and dew point meters are arranged in the plant space and the small environment cover, and connected to the PLC control cabinet through the RS485 protocol. The PLC control cabinet centrally monitors the data of wind pressure sensors, hydrogen sulfide sensors and dew point meters in the whole plant. After the wind pressure sensors, hydrogen sulfide sensors and dew point meters exceed the limit, they will send communication signals to the PLC control cabinet. FFU, process exhaust fans and accident emergency exhaust fans are uniformly controlled by the PLC control cabinet. The specific working conditions are as follows:

[0096] (1) Continuous production condition control logic: The PLC control cabinet monitors the parameters of the wind pressure sensor, hydrogen sulfide sensor and dew point meter. The PLC control cabinet transmits signals to the FFU system in the small environment device to supply air and the process exhaust fan to exhaust. Under this condition, the FFU air supply volume is less than the process exhaust fan exhaust volume to maintain a low dew point and a slight negative pressure in the small environment hood.

[0097] (2) Control logic for short-term loading and unloading conditions: The PLC control cabinet monitors the parameters of the wind pressure sensor, hydrogen sulfide sensor and dew point meter. The PLC control cabinet transmits signals to the FFU system in the small environment device to reduce air supply and increase the exhaust volume of the process exhaust fan to form a relatively large negative pressure environment inside the small environment hood, so that the small environment hood door opening is constantly in a negative pressure state to ensure that hydrogen sulfide does not escape at the door opening. Under this condition, the FFU air supply volume is less than the exhaust volume of the process exhaust fan to achieve a low dew point and a slight negative pressure in the small environment hood.

[0098] (3) Accident condition control logic: The PLC control cabinet monitors the parameters of the wind pressure sensor, hydrogen sulfide sensor and dew point meter. When the parameters exceed the limit, the PLC control cabinet transmits a signal to the small environment device to increase the air supply of the FFU system and turn on the process exhaust fan and the accident emergency exhaust fan for exhaust. Under this condition, the FFU air supply volume is less than the exhaust volume of the process exhaust fan + the exhaust volume of the accident emergency exhaust fan, so as to quickly reduce the hydrogen sulfide concentration in the small environment hood.

[0100]

[0101] (1) The development concept of environmental hydrogen sulfide control in the plant: the outside of the room is at atmospheric pressure, the inside of the room is at a slightly positive pressure (5Pa to 30Pa), the inside of the equipment (small environment cover) is at a slightly negative pressure (-10Pa to -30Pa), and the pipeline between the small environment cover and the exhaust gas treatment system is at a negative pressure (-10Pa to -100Pa);

[0102] (2) The external space of the factory is at atmospheric pressure. The dehumidifier supplies air to control the dew point of the factory space. The air supply duct is equipped with a check valve to prevent hydrogen sulfide from overflowing. At the same time, a slight positive pressure is maintained in the factory space. The return air from the dehumidifier is treated with hydrogen sulfide by a hydrogen sulfide absorber to prevent hydrogen sulfide from corroding the dehumidifier unit;

[0103] (3) The small environment hood (inside the equipment) is actively supplied with air in the factory through the FFU variable frequency fan, and the FFU is equipped with a check valve to prevent hydrogen sulfide from overflowing. The small environment hood is equipped with a variable frequency fan for process exhaust and a variable frequency fan for emergency exhaust to control the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the small environment hood while maintaining a slight negative pressure (-10Pa to -30Pa) in the small environment hood, thereby inhibiting the diffusion of hydrogen sulfide in the equipment;

[0104] (4) An RTO system is arranged outside the plant to chemically neutralize the hydrogen sulfide in the process exhaust fan and the emergency exhaust fan ducts, while maintaining a slight negative pressure in the ducts to prevent hydrogen sulfide backflow.

[0105] For example, the internal volume of the simulation model is 24.2m 3 The leakage area of ​​the door panel gap accounts for 0.04% of the total surface area (0.035m 2 ), 1m 3 The cell volatilizes to produce 3.34ppm / min (2.145mg / s) of hydrogen sulfide, and the whole equipment volatilizes 1.913mg / s. The hydrogen sulfide concentration C under the accident condition is calculated, and the calculation formula for the hydrogen sulfide volatilization amount X is as follows:

[0113] Exemplarily, the production microenvironment device of the sulfide all-solid-state battery provided in the embodiment of the present application is an innovative device structure, wherein:

[0114] 1. Small environment hood:

[0115] (1) Development ideas of small environment cover:

[0116] The leakage area of ​​the small environmental cover gap accounts for 0.04% of the total surface area;

[0117] The material selection of the small environment cover meets the requirements of hydrogen sulfide corrosion resistance;

[0118] The strength simulation of the small environment cover mechanism meets the positioning vibration requirements of the production environment;

[0119] The small environment cover should reserve sufficient space for human flow, logistics and maintenance.

[0120] (2) The sheet metal protection plate of the equipment is made of 304 or Q235B (painted) with a thickness of 1.5 mm;

[0121] (3) The equipment wire holes are sealed with rubber plugs (through-wall plates);

[0122] (4) The top cover of the equipment hood is sealed by full welding;

[0123] (5) The joints between hoods are locked and sealed by stainless steel + fluororubber gaskets;

[0124] (6) There must be a fluororubber protective pad at the connection support plate between the hood and the frame, and the square surface at the bottom of the hood must fit tightly with the support plate to ensure the sealing of the hood after installation;

[0125] (7) After assembly, apply glue around the outer edge of the joint to ensure that the hood is completely sealed and leak-proof.

[0126] 2. Movable door:

[0127] (1) The movable door is made of 304 or Q235B (painted) with a thickness of 1.5 mm;

[0128] (2) The hood door is locked and sealed by using fluororubber gasket + sealant;

[0129] (3) The hinges of the movable door are sealed by blocking welding;

[0130] (4) The equipment observation window is made of anti-static modified corrosion-resistant polycarbonate PC+PTFE+PUR (transparent), and a silicone pad is used to seal the PC board and the sheet metal.

[0131] 3. Hood FFU system:

[0132] (1) FFU must be equipped with RS485 communication and variable frequency fan, and the equipment must be made of stainless steel;

[0133] (2) FFU realizes group control and partition control through the PLC control cabinet touch screen, and can monitor or monitor the operating status of each FFU;

[0134] (3) The FFU is arranged on the top of the hood in a distributed layout, and a check valve is installed at the FFU to ensure that gas can only enter but not exit.

[0135] 4. Upper hood duct:

[0136] (1) The pipelines are locked and sealed by flange + fluororubber sealing gasket;

[0137] (2) A slightly negative pressure state (-10 to -30 Pa) must be maintained inside the equipment to prevent hydrogen sulfide gas from leaking into the workshop.

[0138] For example, the connection between the various structures of the small environment cover and the logistics between the various equipment are transported through the closed battery box for loading and unloading to meet the sealing requirements in the production process of sulfide all-solid-state batteries (the leakage surface of the door panel gap accounts for 0.04% of the total surface area); the equipped FFU and pipeline system ensure a slightly negative pressure state (-10~30pa) to prevent the hydrogen sulfide gas inside the equipment from leaking into the workshop; the small environment cover components and sealing devices are made of anti-corrosion materials to ensure full sealing of the equipment under production conditions containing hydrogen sulfide;

[0139] In some implementation scenarios, examples of simulation effects of the production microenvironment device and control method of the sulfide all-solid-state battery provided in the embodiments of the present application are as follows:

[0140] Simulation condition settings:

[0141] Process exhaust: exhaust air volume 1467m 3 / h, the pipe diameter is 98mm, and the exhaust air velocity is calculated to be 54m / s;

[0142] Emergency exhaust: exhaust air volume 2219m 3 / h, the pipe diameter is 98mm, and the exhaust air velocity is calculated to be 81.72m / s;

[0143] Set the initial multi-component concentration: hydrogen sulfide accounts for 10mg / m 3 (7.04ppm), water accounts for 376ppm, and the rest is air components;

[0144] Set the air intake conditions: the total air volume of the six FFUs under process exhaust conditions is 1467m 3 / h; under the condition of accident exhaust, the total air volume of six FFU intakes is 2179m 3 / h; of which hydrogen sulfide accounts for 0, water accounts for 38.8ppm (dew point temperature -30℃), and the rest is air;

[0145] Set the leakage surface pressure to the external atmospheric pressure, where the proportion of hydrogen sulfide is 0, the proportion of water is 376ppm (dew point temperature -30℃), and the rest is air;

[0146] Set the cell area as the hydrogen sulfide volatilization surface, with a volatilization rate of 3.34ppm / min (1.913mg / s);

[0147] Set the gravity field G;

[0148] Set the entire outer surface to wall.

[0149] The simulation results are shown below:

[0150] 1. Continuous production conditions:

[0151] Volume change curve of each component:

[0152] Under the current simulation conditions, the volume components of internal hydrogen sulfide and water show a clear downward trend. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the change of hydrogen sulfide concentration under continuous working conditions provided in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the change of water volume under continuous working conditions provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0153] Exhaust air volume 1467m 3 / h, fresh air intake volume 1441m 3 / h, when the exhaust is turned on for 120s, the average concentration of hydrogen sulfide increases from 5mg / m 3 (3.52ppm) reduced to 0.295mg / m 3 (0.416ppm). When the ambient moisture content is 376ppm and the intake air moisture content is 38.8ppm (-30℃), after 120s of exhaust ventilation, the moisture content inside the whole machine is 83.34ppm, reaching the dew point requirement of -42℃ and meeting the dew point requirement of -35℃~-30℃.

[0154] The component volume cloud diagram is displayed in the form of a cross-sectional diagram, and some results are presented in the form of multiple cross-sectional axonometric diagrams. The simulation results are the internal conditions of the model at 150s.

[0155] For the hydrogen sulfide component, the concentration in most areas inside the whole machine is below 5ppm. There is a small amount of hydrogen sulfide accumulation below the door panel at the far end of the exhaust vent, which can be solved by blocking the slit of the door panel in the area. For the moisture component, the content in most areas inside the whole machine is below 100ppm, and the accumulation location is the same as that of hydrogen sulfide.

[0156] There is no obvious partition area inside the whole machine, so the pressure in the area except the negative pressure pipe is almost the same.

[0157] Under process exhaust, when the fresh air intake coefficient (fresh air intake coefficient = intake air volume ÷ exhaust air volume) is 0.982, the inside of the whole machine is in a negative pressure state, and the maximum negative pressure value detected is -0.0083pa.

[0158] 2. Accident conditions:

[0159] Volume change curve of each component:

[0160] Under the current simulation conditions, the volume components of internal hydrogen sulfide and water show a clear downward trend. Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the change of hydrogen sulfide concentration under accident conditions provided in the embodiments of the present application, Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of the change of water volume under accident conditions provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0161] Exhaust air volume 2219m 3 / h, fresh air intake volume 2179m 3 / h, the current structure can reduce the average concentration of hydrogen sulfide from 10ppm to 5ppm in 24.5s; at the same time, when the ambient moisture content is 376ppm and the intake moisture content is 38.8ppm, after 150s (i.e. 2.5min) of exhaust ventilation, the moisture content inside the whole machine is 49.03ppm, which can reach the -48℃ dew point requirement and meet the -45℃ dew point requirement.

[0162] The component volume cloud diagram is displayed in the form of a cross-sectional diagram, and some results are presented in the form of multiple cross-sectional axonometric diagrams. The simulation results are the internal conditions of the model at 150s.

[0163] For the hydrogen sulfide component, the concentration in most areas inside the whole machine is below 5ppm. There is a small amount of hydrogen sulfide accumulation below the door panel at the far end of the exhaust vent, which can be solved by blocking the slit of the door panel in the area. For the moisture component, the content in most areas inside the whole machine is below 100ppm, and the accumulation location is the same as that of hydrogen sulfide.

[0164] There is no obvious partition area inside the whole machine, so the pressure in the area except the negative pressure pipe is almost the same.

[0165] Since the air intake fresh air coefficient is 0.982 (air intake fresh air coefficient = intake air volume ÷ exhaust air volume), the fresh air volume is lower than the exhaust air volume, the entire machine is in a negative pressure state, and the maximum negative pressure value detected is -0.011pa.

[0166] After the process exhaust is turned on for 120 seconds, the hydrogen sulfide concentration in most areas of the whole machine is less than 5mg / m 3 (3.52ppm) is the design requirement; no 3.52ppm concentration area was observed visually.

[0167] When the moisture content of the environment outside the equipment is 376ppm (-30℃ dew point) and the moisture content of the inlet air is 38.8ppm (-50℃ dew point), after 120s of exhaust ventilation, the moisture content inside the whole machine is 83.34ppm, reaching the dew point requirement of -42℃, but not meeting the dew point temperature requirement of -50℃;

[0168] The process exhaust design can meet the requirement of quickly reducing the concentration of hydrogen sulfide inside the machine, with the average concentration from 5mg / m 3(3.52ppm) reduced to 0.295mg / m 3 (0.416ppm);

[0169] Under process exhaust, when the fresh air intake coefficient (fresh air intake coefficient = intake air volume ÷ exhaust air volume) is 0.982, the inside of the whole machine is in a negative pressure state, and the maximum negative pressure value detected is -0.0083pa.

[0170] ① After 150 seconds of emergency exhaust, the hydrogen sulfide concentration in most areas of the whole machine meets the design requirement of less than 5ppm;

[0171] ② When the ambient moisture content is 376ppm (-30℃ dew point) and the intake air moisture content is 38.8ppm (-50℃ dew point), after 150s (2.5min) of exhaust ventilation, the moisture content inside the whole machine is 49.03ppm, reaching the -48℃ dew point requirement and meeting the -45℃ dew point requirement;

[0172] ③ The emergency exhaust design can meet the requirement of quickly reducing the hydrogen sulfide concentration inside the machine, and it takes 24.5 seconds to reduce the average concentration from 10ppm to 5ppm;

[0173] ④ Under accident emergency exhaust, when the air intake fresh air coefficient (air intake fresh air coefficient = air intake volume ÷ exhaust air volume) is 0.982, the inside of the whole machine is in a negative pressure state, and the maximum negative pressure value detected is -0.011pa.
