Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of power equipment, and more specifically, relates to a recycling system for retired batteries. Background Art

[0002] In the power system, substation batteries are an important component, providing reliable DC power for the stable operation of power equipment. However, the current treatment of substation batteries has many problems that need to be solved.

[0003] In related technologies, when a battery fails three discharge tests, it is decommissioned and scrapped. However, in reality, when an entire battery pack is deemed unqualified, only about 20% of the cells are truly performing poorly, while nearly 40% are actually performing well and have potential for reuse. However, existing methods often scrap the entire pack, resulting in a significant waste of resources.

[0004] Furthermore, replacing an entire battery pack not only takes a long time but also carries the potential risk of DC power outages, posing a threat to the stable operation of the substation. Furthermore, in some substations, battery failures are caused by just one or two batteries. Because batteries of the same manufacturer, model, and batch are difficult to find, jumper connections are often the only solution, undoubtedly presenting numerous risks to DC system operation.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a retired battery recycling system provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The core of this application is to provide a recycling system for retired batteries to improve the utilization efficiency of battery retirement and recycling and avoid wasting battery resources.

[0040] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0041] The following describes a recycling system for retired batteries provided by the present application through an embodiment.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a retired battery recycling system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0043] In this embodiment, the system may include:

[0044] The battery performance control module 10 is used to perform internal resistance tests and charge and discharge tests on retired batteries to obtain performance data. Batteries with performance data greater than a preset value are considered recyclable batteries and are put into storage.

[0045] This module primarily evaluates battery performance by performing internal resistance and charge / discharge tests on retired batteries. The internal resistance test reveals the battery's internal wear and tear, while the charge / discharge test provides a more comprehensive understanding of battery performance indicators such as capacity and voltage. The resulting performance data is compared with preset values. Batteries with performance values ​​exceeding the preset values ​​are considered potentially recyclable and are designated as recyclable batteries.

[0046] In specific implementations, this module may include relevant testing equipment and a data analysis system. The testing equipment performs internal resistance and charge / discharge tests and transmits the test data to the data analysis system. The data analysis system analyzes and determines the test data based on preset data standards, determining which batteries can be considered recyclable and placing them in storage. By performing performance control on retired batteries, recyclable batteries can be selected, avoiding the direct scrapping of all retired batteries, improving resource utilization, and reducing waste.

[0047] The battery maintenance module 20 is used to supplement and charge the recyclable battery and monitor its performance. It performs charge and discharge tests on the recyclable battery according to a preset period to obtain continuous performance data. Recyclable batteries with continuous performance data less than the preset performance data are retired.

[0048] For recyclable batteries, this module performs supplemental charging to ensure sufficient charge. It also monitors the performance of recyclable batteries, performing charge and discharge tests at preset intervals to continuously evaluate their performance. If the sustained performance data obtained during the charge and discharge tests is lower than the preset performance data, the battery's performance has deteriorated to the point of being unusable and requires decommissioning.

[0049] This module may include charging equipment, monitoring equipment, and a data logging and analysis system. The charging equipment is used to recharge reusable batteries, the monitoring equipment monitors battery performance parameters in real time, and the data logging and analysis system analyzes monitoring data at preset intervals to determine whether the batteries need to be retired. Regular maintenance and monitoring can extend the service life of reusable batteries and ensure stable performance during use. Furthermore, timely retirement of degraded batteries can ensure overall system reliability.

[0050] The battery inventory management module 30 is used to obtain the battery model data, manufacturer data, operation time data, and quantity data input by the user, and use them as demand data. Based on the demand data, the battery is matched to obtain the target battery, and the target battery is shipped out of the warehouse.

[0051] This module obtains the battery model data, manufacturer data, commissioning time data, quantity data, etc. input by the user as demand data, and then matches the batteries in the inventory based on these demand data, finds the target batteries that meet the requirements, and processes them for shipment to meet the user's needs.

[0052] Inventory management can be achieved through a database management system. After the user enters the required data, the system searches and matches the database, finds the appropriate target battery, and records the delivery information. This accurately matches and provides batteries based on user needs, improving the efficiency and accuracy of inventory management and ensuring that users receive the batteries they need in a timely manner.

[0053] In summary, in this embodiment, first, the system performs internal resistance tests and charge and discharge tests on retired batteries, accurately screening out recyclable batteries whose performance data is greater than preset data, avoiding the mistaken scrapping of batteries that still have utility value, thereby significantly improving the retirement and recycling efficiency of batteries and effectively avoiding the waste of battery resources.

[0054] Secondly, the battery maintenance module 20 performs supplementary charging and regular charge and discharge tests on the recyclable batteries, monitors their performance in real time, promptly identifies batteries with degraded performance and decommissions them, which not only extends the service life of the recyclable batteries, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the entire system operation.

[0055] Finally, the battery inventory management module 30 performs battery matching and outbound processing according to user needs, which can quickly and accurately meet user needs for batteries, improve the efficiency of inventory management, reduce inventory backlogs and idle resources, and further optimize resource allocation.

[0056] Optionally, the battery performance control module 10 includes:

[0057] Information collection unit, used to obtain battery information, battery usage data, and battery historical detection data;

[0058] A preliminary screening unit, configured to perform performance evaluation based on battery information, battery usage data, and battery historical test data to obtain evaluation data, and select batteries having evaluation data greater than a preset evaluation data as preliminary screening batteries;

[0059] The in-depth detection unit is used to perform performance testing and material composition analysis on the preliminarily screened batteries to obtain detection data, and the preliminarily screened batteries whose detection data are greater than the preset detection data are regarded as recyclable batteries;

[0060] The warehousing processing unit is used to obtain parameter information data of the recyclable battery and perform warehousing processing on the recyclable battery based on the parameter information data.

[0061] The battery performance control module 10 comprehensively evaluates retired batteries through information collection, preliminary screening, in-depth testing, and storage processing to identify recyclable batteries. The information collection unit obtains relevant battery information, the preliminary screening unit performs performance evaluation based on this information, the in-depth testing unit conducts more detailed testing and analysis on the initially screened batteries, and finally the storage processing unit stores recyclable batteries that meet the requirements.

[0062] The information collection unit may obtain battery information, usage data, and historical test data by connecting to a battery management system or other data sources. The preliminary screening unit uses a preset evaluation algorithm or model to analyze and evaluate this data. The in-depth testing unit may use specialized testing equipment to perform performance testing and material composition analysis on the batteries. The warehousing processing unit enters the recyclable battery parameters into the inventory management system. This hierarchical screening and testing method can more accurately identify recyclable batteries, improve the accuracy and efficiency of screening, reduce the possibility of misjudgment, and thus better achieve effective resource utilization.

[0063] Optionally, the battery maintenance module 20 includes:

[0064] A periodic charging unit, used for supplementing the charging of recyclable batteries;

[0065] The periodic discharge unit is used to perform charge and discharge tests on the recyclable battery according to a preset cycle to obtain continuous performance data, and to retire the recyclable battery whose continuous performance data is less than the preset performance data.

[0066] As can be seen, the battery maintenance module 20 includes a periodic charging unit and a periodic discharging unit. These units maintain and monitor the performance of recyclable batteries by supplementing them with additional charges and performing regular charge-discharge tests. The periodic charging unit ensures sufficient battery charge, while the periodic discharging unit collects continuous performance data through charge-discharge tests and determines whether the battery needs to be retired based on the preset performance data.

[0067] The regular charging unit may use an intelligent charger to charge the battery, and the charging process can be adjusted according to the battery's characteristics and needs. The regular discharge unit controls the battery's charge and discharge operations according to a preset cycle and records relevant performance data. Regular charging and discharging maintenance can extend the service life of recyclable batteries, promptly identify and decommission batteries with degraded performance, and ensure the overall performance and reliability of the battery pack.

[0068] Optionally, the battery inventory management module 30 includes:

[0069] The matching unit is used to obtain the battery model data, manufacturer data, operation time data, and quantity data input by the user and use them as demand data, and perform battery matching based on the demand data to obtain the target battery;

[0070] The outbound unit is used to process the target battery outbound.

[0071] It can be seen that the matching unit of the battery inventory management module 30 searches for matching target batteries in the inventory according to the demand data input by the user, and the delivery unit is responsible for delivering these target batteries to meet the user's needs.

[0072] The matching unit uses database queries and matching algorithms to quickly find batteries that meet the requirements. The shipping unit collaborates with the inventory management system and logistics system to complete the shipping of batteries. This effectively meets user demand for batteries, improves inventory management flexibility and responsiveness, and reduces inventory backlogs and stockouts.

[0073] Optionally, it also includes a recycling planning module, including:

[0074] A repair plan formulation unit is used to match the repair plan of the retired recyclable battery, obtain the battery repair plan, and repair the corresponding battery based on the battery repair plan;

[0075] The recycling process design unit is used to design a recycling process for the batteries that need to be recycled based on the corresponding battery information, obtain a recycling plan, and recycle the corresponding batteries based on the recycling plan.

[0076] The recycling planning module includes a repair plan development unit and a recycling process design unit. The repair plan development unit develops a repair plan for retired recyclable batteries to restore their performance; the recycling process design unit designs a recycling process based on battery information to rationally recycle batteries that need to be recycled.

[0077] The repair plan development unit may develop appropriate repair measures based on the battery's fault type and performance parameters, such as component replacement or circuit repair. The recycling process design unit considers factors such as battery type, specifications, and environmental requirements to design an appropriate recycling process. Repairing recyclable batteries can further improve resource utilization and reduce waste. A well-designed recycling process ensures that batteries are properly handled and minimizes environmental impact.

[0078] Optionally, also include:

[0079] The operation status monitoring module is used to monitor the operation status of the battery in use and obtain operation status data. When the operation status data corresponding to the battery belongs to the maintenance-waiting state, maintenance processing is performed on the corresponding battery.

[0080] As can be seen, the operating status monitoring module monitors the battery in use in real time and obtains operating status data. If the operating status data of the battery is found to be in a maintenance-required state, it will perform maintenance in a timely manner to ensure the normal operation of the battery.

[0081] Sensors and monitoring equipment can capture operational data such as battery voltage, current, and temperature, and transmit this data to a monitoring system for analysis and assessment. If an anomaly is detected, the system issues an alarm and dispatches maintenance personnel. This allows for timely identification of potential battery issues and proactive maintenance, avoiding equipment downtime and other losses caused by battery failures and improving system stability and reliability.

[0082] Optionally, also include:

[0083] The recycling effect evaluation module is used to monitor the operating status of the target battery, obtain recycling operation data, perform effect evaluation processing based on the recycling operation data, obtain effect evaluation data, and display the effect evaluation data.

This can be displayed in reports, charts, and other formats. This helps users understand the operational effectiveness of the recycling system, providing a basis for improving and optimizing the system, and further enhancing the efficiency and quality of battery recycling.
