Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of battery charge and discharge thickness testing systems, and relates to a battery charge and discharge thickness measurement system and method with controllable pressure, which is applicable to the thickness measurement of metal lithium batteries and silicon-carbon batteries during charge and discharge under specified pressure conditions. Background Art
[0002] With the gradual maturity of metal lithium secondary battery technology, metal lithium secondary batteries can also achieve charge and discharge within a certain period, and their specific energy is as high as over 530 Wh / kg, having great application value in the field of high specific energy. However, compared with traditional graphite anode materials, metal lithium secondary batteries lack the space for lithium ion insertion, so obvious volume expansion will occur during the charging process. Especially for square soft-packaged metal lithium batteries, the thickness expansion at the end of their life can even reach up to 40%. Lithium ion batteries with silicon as the anode also have extremely high specific energy. However, the reaction of silicon combined with lithium also leads to a sharp increase in the monomer thickness.
[0003] Currently, conventional metal lithium battery tests are carried out by clamping with splints or simple springs. The initial pressure is generally between 1000 N and 2000 N. However, the pressure after a single full charge can reach 20000 N, or even as high as over 200000 N, and the pressure change rate reaches 10 to 100 times. Therefore, the method of clamping with a splint or a simple spring structure cannot effectively evaluate the law of the influence of the applied pressure on the charge and discharge cycle performance of metal lithium batteries.
[0004] CN 110212209A "A Constant Temperature and Constant Pressure Type Thermal Battery Electrical Performance Test System and Its Test Method" involves a pressure of only 30 - 300 N, which is much smaller than the pressure value range after a single full charge; this invention does not involve the first rangefinder and the second rangefinder of the present invention, resulting in the inability to precisely control the pressure during the thermal battery test and the inability to measure the expansion amount of the battery. CN209069247U "A Battery Thickness Measuring Device after Formation" is a measuring device for the total thickness of the battery, only involving a thickness measuring instrument, and does not involve the test of the expansion thickness during the charge and discharge process of the battery under controllable pressure conditions. CN112433158A "A Lithium Ion Battery Expansion Rate" test method has a pressure of 100 - 5000 N, which is much smaller than the pressure value after a single full charge. In its test method, when the pressure is constant, no measures are taken to keep the pressure constant with a spring, only the initial pressure is kept constant, and the pressure during the expansion process cannot be kept constant. CN 212205953 U "A Core Expansion Measuring Device" measures the thickness expansion of the core within a limited space. The pressure of the core causes the spring to compress due to the thickness change, and the pressure can only change passively, without involving the method of actively and precisely controlling the pressure in real time by measuring the spring compression amount in real time and adjusting it at any time. Summary of the Invention

By using an appropriate spring design and a method of dynamically controlling the spring compression amount to control the battery pressure, the pressure accuracy can be controlled within 5%, achieving the purpose of quantitatively measuring parameters such as pressure, thickness, and cycle life of high expansion rate batteries during charge and discharge from qualitative judgment; by measuring the distance change amount between two moving platforms, the deformation amount of the volume change of the battery during charge and discharge can be accurately, effectively and real-time measured.
