[0002] As new energy vehicles continue to account for an increasing share of the entire automobile market, the structural safety of vehicle power batteries has become more and more of a focus of attention. There are many factors that affect the safety of power batteries, such as impact, vibration, and expansion, so the structural safety of power batteries is also very complex.

[0003] At present, in order to ensure the structural safety of power batteries, the power batteries are mainly developed and designed based on past experience. Then, physical samples of power battery packs are made according to the current design scheme, and the physical samples of power battery packs are used to conduct safety tests on the designated structures of the power batteries. The design parameters are adjusted according to the test results until the power battery pack passes the safety test.

[0004] However, during the design and development stage of power batteries, the design has not been finalized and the design plan is not necessarily accurate, so it may not be possible to produce the corresponding samples, and thus it is impossible to conduct tests, and the design plan can only be adjusted continuously. In addition, the production of samples is not only costly, but also complicated, and it is difficult to ensure accuracy. In addition, the current tests are not comprehensive enough, so the current method not only makes the development efficiency of power batteries low, but also makes it difficult to ensure the structural safety of power battery packs.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0060] In this application, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprise", "include" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0061] The present application embodiment provides a battery pack structure safety verification method, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0062] S101, building a mechanical model of a target battery pack to obtain a simulation model of the target battery pack.

[0063] The target battery pack may be any battery pack that needs to be simulated.

[0064] In order to establish an accurate mechanical model for the target battery and determine the conditions of each system of the target battery pack during the simulation process, the simulation model of the target battery pack includes the target battery pack's box main structure system model, battery cell system model, electrical system model and thermal management system model.

[0065] Specifically, according to the design parameters of each system of the target battery pack, the box main structure system model, battery cell system model, electrical system model and thermal management system model of the target battery pack can be constructed separately, and the connection relationship between each system can be constructed, so that each system constitutes an integral target battery pack.

[0066] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, a specific implementation of step S101 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0067] S201. Remove tiny chamfers on the main structure of the target battery pack box through geometric cleaning, extract the mid-surface of the sheet metal, establish welds according to the welding positions, and set a circle of regular circular hole grids in the locking area of ​​the bolts to obtain the main structure system model of the target battery pack box.

[0068] Specifically, for the simulation model building of the box main structure system, tiny chamfers are removed mainly through geometric cleaning, the mid-surface of the sheet metal is extracted, the weld is established according to the actual welding position, and a circle of regular circular hole grid is specially made in the locking area of ​​the bolts of the battery pack.

[0069] S202 , establishing models of various components of the battery cells of the target battery pack, and simulating mechanical assembly connection relationships between the various components among the models of the various components, to obtain a battery cell system model of the target battery pack.

[0070] Specifically, the simulation model of the battery system mainly builds models of battery shell, battery winding, battery pole, battery bar, silicon foam, insulating PC, or aerogel, mica and other components between batteries, and simulates the mechanical assembly connection relationship between the components as realistically as possible. Among them, the two ends of various fillers between batteries can be specifically processed as TIE contact connection.

[0071] S203, after digitalizing each electrical component of the target battery pack, perform three-dimensional tetrahedral solid modeling to obtain the model of each electrical component, extract the mid-surface of various electrical connectors, and simulate the mechanical assembly through motion coupling constraints to obtain the electrical system model of the target battery pack.

[0072] Specifically, the simulation modeling of the electrical system of the battery pack mainly involves digital modeling of the electrical parts of the injection-molded shells of various contactors, fuses, BMS, BDU, etc., and then 3D tetrahedron solid modeling, and adjusting the material density to make it the same as the actual weight. Then, the mechanical assembly is simulated through motion coupling constraints. Among them, the mid-surface of electrical connectors such as copper busbars and thin-shell metal brackets used for binding and fixing is extracted, and the mechanical assembly is simulated through motion coupling constraints.

[0073] S204, extract the shell of the cold plate of the target battery pack and plan the characteristic lines of the flow channel, non-flow channel, and brazing area, and perform solid modeling on the foam, structural adhesive, and thermal conductive adhesive of the thermal management system to obtain a thermal management system model of the target battery pack.

[0074] Specifically, for the thermal management system of the battery pack, the cold plate is mainly shelled, and the flow channel, non-flow channel, and characteristic lines of the brazing area are reserved. The foam, structural adhesive, and thermal conductive adhesive of the thermal management system are solid modeled.

[0075] S205 , simulating the connection relationship between the thermal management system of the target battery and the main structural system of the box according to the installation process of the cold plate of the target battery pack.

[0076] Among them, if it is stir friction welding, the solid weld modeling of the common node is adopted, and if it is an FDS process, the screws drilled in each FDS flow are established.

[0077] S102 , for each target simulation item, use the current simulation model of the target battery pack to simulate the target simulation item, and obtain a current simulation result corresponding to the target simulation item.

[0078] Among them, the target simulation items include modal simulation, random vibration simulation, bottom ball impact simulation, cell expansion cycle life simulation, and bonding performance simulation. In order to comprehensively test the structural safety of the target battery pack, it is necessary to use the constructed simulation model of the target battery pack to perform the above-mentioned simulations respectively.

[0079] It should be noted that the current battery pack modal simulation generally only considers the fixed constraints of the fixed points of the battery pack. It does not take into account the change in stiffness of the entire battery module after the battery pack box structure is affected by the expansion and backlog of the battery cells during the actual charge and discharge cycle, resulting in a large difference between the simulation and the actual force boundary, and the simulation structure accuracy is slightly poor, which cannot accurately predict the state of the actual product, and thus causes product design failure and repeated testing and verification of samples. Therefore, the target prestress is introduced in the embodiment of the present application. Among them, the target prestress is the reaction compression force on the large surface of the battery cell generated after the battery pack box frame structure is squeezed by the expansion force of the battery cell module. Therefore, the modal simulation is performed with the simulation result of the target prestress as the initial physical field boundary condition of the modal simulation.

[0080] The current simulation method lacks consideration of the huge differences in vibration attenuation characteristics of different component materials, and only assigns the same quantitative parameters, resulting in low simulation progress. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, random vibration simulation is performed with structural damping and material damping as the modal damping of the battery pack, which can more accurately predict the safety of the battery pack structural vibration and avoid vibration structural failure problems in the designed battery pack under subsequent vibration tests and actual usage conditions.

[0081] For the bottom ball hitting simulation, in order to take into account various adverse conditions of the bottom protection of the battery pack and to make the structural safety verification of the bottom protection more applicable, in an embodiment of the present application, the bottom ball hitting simulation includes simulating the ball hitting of the bottom of the battery pack using extrusion heads of various shapes and different energies.

[0082] The existing expansion force test only considers the structural strength of the battery cell at the peak expansion force, but ignores the fact that the battery pack undergoes a reciprocating expansion force cycle during use, which is charging from the lowest SOC to the highest SOC, and then discharging from the highest SOC to the lowest SOC. That is, the cycle life of the battery cell's expansion force is not considered and included in the verification. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the fatigue strength during the cyclic change of the expansion force is considered on the basis of the existing expansion force verification. Therefore, the battery cell expansion cycle life simulation in the embodiment of the present application simulates the fatigue strength of multiple specified components in the battery pack during the cyclic change of the expansion force during the battery charging and discharging process.

[0083] As the integration of power batteries becomes higher and higher, CTP technology uses a lot of adhesive to improve the structural strength of the battery pack. Therefore, the adhesiveness of the battery pack is an important structural safety assessment item that affects the long service life of the vehicle in various harsh working environments. However, there is basically no disclosure of simulation technology involving this simulation condition. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, based on the existing expansion force and mechanical impact simulation technology, it is proposed to use bonding performance simulation. The bonding performance simulation simulates the bonding performance of each bonding interface in the battery pack under battery pack expansion and mechanical impact.

[0084] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, when the target simulation item is a modal simulation, a specific implementation of step S102, that is, a specific implementation of the modal simulation of the battery pack, is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0085] S301, performing simulation analysis of target prestress on an assembly simulation condition including target prestress.

[0086] S302. Based on the physical field obtained by completing the simulation analysis of the target prestress, a modal simulation analysis is performed on the simulation model of the target battery pack to obtain a current simulation result corresponding to the target simulation item.

[0087] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the assembly simulation condition of the target prestress is introduced, and after completing the prestress analysis of this step, the modal simulation analysis is performed based on the physical field results, so that the simulation results of the target prestress are used as the initial physical field boundary conditions of the modal simulation, which is equivalent to completing the mechanical environment simulation of the battery pack in the actual installation and tooling environment. The simulation method of this process improves the simulation accuracy and the consistency with the actual product test results.

[0088] For example, as shown in Table 1 below, by comparing the modal analysis results of loading prestress with the modal results of not loading prestress, as well as the experimental test data, it can be seen that the model analysis method of loading prestress has higher accuracy.

[0089] Table 1

[0090]

[0091] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, when the target simulation item is a random vibration simulation, a specific implementation of step S102, that is, a specific implementation of the random vibration simulation of the battery pack, is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, including:

[0092] S401. Setting the structural damping of the target battery pack and the material damping of the components as the modal damping of the target battery pack, and setting the vibration spectrum loading curve of the target battery pack.

[0093] S402 , performing random vibration simulation using a simulation model of the target battery pack according to the modal damping and vibration spectrum loading curve of the target battery pack, and obtaining a current simulation result corresponding to the random vibration simulation.

[0094] Specifically, the modal damping of the battery pack and the vibration spectrum loading curve to which the battery pack is subjected are set, and then a random vibration simulation analysis is submitted to perform random vibration simulation.

[0095] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, when the target simulation item is a bottom ball hitting simulation, a specific implementation of step S102, that is, a specific implementation of a bottom ball hitting simulation of a battery pack, is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, including:

[0096] S501. For each ball-hitting combination, based on the simulation model of the target battery pack, a simulation model corresponding to the ball-hitting combination is established, and initial simulation boundary conditions corresponding to the ball-hitting combination are set.

[0097] Among them, a ball hitting combination includes an extrusion head of a certain shape and an extrusion energy. Optionally, the ball hitting combination can specifically include: a hemispherical head cylinder with a 120J energy D25, a mountain-shaped extrusion head with a 240J energy, a flat head cylinder with a 240J energy Φ10, and a hemispherical head cylinder with a 240J energy D25. Of course, other combinations can also be set according to needs.

[0098] S502, performing a battery pack bottom ball hit simulation according to the simulation initial boundary conditions corresponding to each ball hit combination through the simulation model corresponding to each ball hit combination, and obtaining each current simulation result corresponding to the bottom ball hit simulation.

[0099] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, when the target simulation item is a battery cell expansion cycle life simulation, a specific implementation of step S102, that is, a specific implementation of a battery cell expansion cycle life simulation of a battery pack, is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, including:

[0100] S601 , using the current simulation model of the target battery pack, simulate the expansion force of multiple target components of the target battery pack during the charge and discharge process of the target battery pack.

[0101] The target component is a specified component that needs to be tested.

[0102] S602, obtaining the maximum expansion force and the minimum expansion force of each target component according to the simulation, and calculating the stress amplitude of each target component.

[0103] The maximum expansion force is when the battery is at its maximum capacity, usually at 100% SOC. The minimum expansion force is when the battery is at its minimum capacity, usually at 3% SOC. Subtracting the minimum expansion force from the maximum expansion force will give the stress amplitude.

[0104] S603 , by comparing the stress amplitude of each target component with the fatigue strength of the material of each target component, determine the current simulation result corresponding to the battery cell expansion cycle life simulation.

[0105] Among them, when the stress amplitude to which the target component is subjected is less than the fatigue strength of the material of the target component, the simulation of the battery cell expansion cycle life of the target component is determined to be qualified. Specifically, the simulation results of each target component can be used to form the current simulation result corresponding to the battery cell expansion cycle life simulation. It is also possible to determine the current simulation result corresponding to the battery cell expansion cycle life simulation based on the simulation results of each target component, such as: if the simulation results of each target component are qualified, then the current simulation result corresponding to the battery cell expansion cycle life simulation is determined to be qualified. If the simulation result of any target component is unqualified, then the current simulation result corresponding to the battery cell expansion cycle life simulation is determined to be unqualified.

[0106] Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, when the target simulation item is the bonding performance simulation, a specific implementation of step S102, that is, a specific implementation of the bonding performance simulation of the battery pack, is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, including:

[0107] S701 . Set the expansion coefficient and initial temperature on the simulation model of the target battery pack.

[0108] S702 , using the simulation model of the target battery pack to perform expansion force simulation and mechanical impact simulation, and obtain the stress of each bonding interface of the target battery pack.

[0109] The various bonding interfaces may be all the bonding interfaces, or may be a few selected most important bonding interfaces, or may be the weakest bonding interface.

[0110] Specifically, the battery cell is loaded with a changing temperature curve to simulate the thermal expansion process of the whole pack. When the battery cell reaches the expected maximum expansion force, the expansion force simulation condition is terminated, and under the premise of the maximum physical field of the maximum expansion force condition applying the maximum restraint force to the battery pack beam, the impact curve required by the national standard or enterprise standard for the whole pack is set to perform mechanical impact simulation analysis.

[0111] S703: Compare the maximum stress of each bonding interface with the bonding peel strength of the bonding glue of each bonding interface to determine the current simulation result corresponding to each bonding interface.

[0112] S704, calculating the stress mean value of each bonding interface, and determining the degree of adhesive failure of each bonding interface according to the stress mean value of each bonding interface.

[0113] S103: Determine whether the current simulation results corresponding to each target simulation item are all qualified.

[0114] If it is determined that the current simulation result corresponding to any target simulation item is unqualified, it means that there is still a security problem, so step S104 is performed at this time. If it is determined that the current simulation results corresponding to each target simulation item are all qualified, step S105 can be performed.

[0115] S104: Optimize the simulation model of the current target battery pack.

[0116] Specifically, the design of the target battery pack can be adjusted in a targeted manner according to the qualified target simulation items, and then the simulation model of the current target battery pack can be optimized according to the design adjustments.

[0117] It should be noted that after executing step S104, since the design of the target battery pack is adjusted, in order to verify the structural safety of the adjusted target battery, the simulation model of the optimized target battery pack is returned to execute step S102.

[0118] S105: End the simulation of the target battery pack.

[0119] Since all target simulation items of the target battery pack have passed verification at this time, the parameters of the simulation model of the current target battery pack can be output to generate the target battery pack according to these parameters.

[0120] The embodiment of the present application provides a battery pack structure safety verification method, which models the mechanical model of the target battery pack to obtain a simulation model of the target battery pack. Among them, the simulation model of the target battery pack includes the main structure system model of the box body of the target battery pack, the battery cell system model, the electrical system model and the thermal management system model, so as to construct a complete battery pack model, and facilitate the subsequent determination of the situation of each system in the verification process. Then, for each target simulation item, the simulation model of the current target battery pack is used to simulate the target simulation item to obtain the current simulation result corresponding to the target simulation item. Among them, the target simulation items include modal simulation, random vibration simulation, bottom ball impact simulation, battery cell expansion cycle life simulation, and bonding performance simulation. The modal simulation is performed with the simulation result of the target prestress as the initial physical field boundary condition of the modal simulation. The target prestress is the reaction compression force on the large surface of the battery cell generated by the battery pack box frame structure after being squeezed by the expansion force of the battery cell module. The random vibration simulation is performed with structural damping and material damping as the modal damping of the battery pack. The bottom ball impact simulation includes the simulation of ball impact on the bottom of the battery pack using extrusion heads of various shapes with different energies. The battery cell expansion cycle life simulation simulates the fatigue strength of multiple specified components in the battery pack when the expansion force changes cyclically during the battery charging and discharging process. The bonding performance simulation simulates the bonding performance of each bonding interface in the battery pack under battery pack expansion and mechanical impact, thereby achieving a comprehensive simulation verification of the target battery pack. Then, it is determined whether the current simulation results corresponding to each target simulation item are qualified. If the current simulation result corresponding to any target simulation item is determined to be unqualified, the simulation model of the current target battery pack is optimized, and for the optimized simulation model of the target battery pack, the simulation of the target simulation item is returned for each target simulation item, and the simulation of the target simulation item is performed using the current simulation model of the target battery pack to obtain the current simulation result corresponding to the target simulation item, so as to continuously optimize the battery design until it passes the safety verification. If it is judged that the current simulation results corresponding to each target simulation item are qualified, the simulation of the target battery pack is terminated. Thus, the battery can be subjected to modal simulation, random vibration simulation, bottom ball impact simulation, cell expansion cycle life simulation and bonding performance simulation through the constructed battery pack simulation model. Without constructing a battery pack sample, a comprehensive verification of the safety of the battery pack structure can be achieved, which effectively improves the battery development efficiency and ensures the safety of the developed battery pack structure.

[0121] It should be noted that the various target simulation item settings in this application have an intrinsic relationship, and they influence and depend on each other. Modal simulation provides the basis for random vibration simulation; the bonding performance simulation can ensure the overall stiffness of the battery pack, so that each component remains relatively stable during the impact process, and reduce local stress concentration, thereby improving the impact resistance of the battery pack. During the bottom ball hitting process, the bonding layer will participate in the absorption and transfer of energy. If the bonding performance is poor, it may cause part of the energy to concentrate at the bonding interface, increase the risk of damage to the bonding layer, and further affect the overall performance of the battery pack. The two can verify and calibrate each other; the cell expansion cycle life simulation can provide dynamic data of cell expansion for the prestress simulation, and the prestress simulation can verify the influence of cell expansion on the battery pack structure. The two complement each other and jointly guide the design and optimization of the battery pack. In practical applications, prestress simulation can be performed first to determine the prestress distribution of the structure; then random vibration simulation can be performed to analyze the performance of the battery pack under a vibration environment; then bottom ball impact simulation can be performed to ensure the safety of the battery pack when impacted; at the same time, cell expansion cycle life simulation can be performed to predict the battery life; finally, bonding performance simulation can be performed to evaluate the performance of the adhesive in the battery pack. This can improve the simulation efficiency, as well as the reliability and safety of the battery pack simulation.
