[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] At present, the power battery pack or battery module of new energy vehicles is composed of multiple battery cells connected in series. When any one of the battery cells connected in series fails or is damaged, the entire battery pack or battery module will be unusable, which will further cause the car to break down and cannot drive normally. At present, relevant technologies have proposed that since it is impossible to perform quick repairs on the road, the vehicle needs to be towed to a specific maintenance station to replace the entire battery pack or battery module, or the battery box needs to be disassembled to find the damaged battery cell for repair or replacement. However, this solution cannot be completed in a short time, which will affect transportation efficiency and generate towing fees. Based on this, the battery cell provided by the present invention is The rapid repair system, method and device can accurately find the faulty cell through the battery control unit when any one of the battery cells connected in series fails, control the electronic switch matrix, and use the supercapacitor to repair the faulty cell, or replace the faulty cell with a spare cell, so that the battery can work normally and the vehicle can continue to drive, thereby not affecting the transportation efficiency. At the same time, the battery control unit can automatically upload the faulty cell number to the display screen to accurately locate the fault location. After the vehicle transportation is completed, the user can go to the maintenance station for repairs in his spare time, which is more convenient and does not affect transportation while saving the cost of towing.

[0027] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a rapid repair method for a battery cell disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is first introduced in detail. The method is applied to a rapid repair system for a battery cell. To facilitate understanding of the rapid repair system for a battery cell, an embodiment of the present invention provides a structural schematic diagram of a rapid repair system for a battery cell, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: a battery control unit (ie, control unit BMU), a battery cell assembly and a supercapacitor, and the battery control unit is connected to the battery cell assembly and the supercapacitor respectively.

[0028] The battery control unit is used to detect faulty cells in a cell set, classify the faulty cells, and determine the fault type. Based on the fault type, the battery control unit executes a corresponding switch control strategy to replace or repair the faulty cells. The fault types include common faults such as cell overvoltage or cell undervoltage, and serious faults such as cell hardware damage. The supercapacitor is used to quickly charge and discharge the faulty cells to restore normal function when the fault type of the faulty cells is a common fault. The cell set includes a working cell set (i.e., cell 1, cell 2...cell N) and a spare cell. The working cell set includes multiple working sub-cells. Under normal operating conditions, each working sub-cell is disconnected from the spare cell and the supercapacitor, and is respectively connected to the positive and negative power poles and the battery control unit for normal vehicle operation. The spare cell is used to replace the working sub-cell when the fault type of any working sub-cell is a serious fault.

[0029] That is to say, the battery control unit BMU accurately finds the faulty cell and classifies the fault as either a common fault such as overvoltage or undervoltage, or a serious fault caused by hardware damage, and transmits the number of the faulty cell to the display screen through the wiring harness. The display screen accurately displays the location of the faulty cell. If the cell is a common fault such as overvoltage or undervoltage, the control unit BMU controls the electronic switch matrix, accurately controls the disconnection and connection of the electronic switch, and uses the fast charging and discharging characteristics of the supercapacitor to charge and discharge the faulty cell to restore the battery to normal function; if the cell is a serious fault caused by hardware damage, the control unit BMU controls the electronic switch matrix, accurately controls the disconnection and connection of the electronic switch, and adds a spare cell to the circuit to replace the faulty cell to restore the battery to normal function. In addition, the control unit BMU can also monitor the status of the spare cell. If the spare cell is overcharged or over-discharged, the control unit BMU controls the electronic switch matrix, accurately controls the disconnection and connection of the electronic switch, and uses the fast charging and discharging characteristics of the supercapacitor to charge and discharge the spare cell to restore the spare cell to normal.

[0030] In addition, the system also includes a display screen, which can be used to locate and display the position of the faulty battery cell based on the faulty battery cell location information sent by the battery control unit. In actual application, if the battery cell 3 is faulty, the control unit will upload the number of the BMU faulty battery cell 3 to the display screen, and accurately display the position of the faulty battery cell 3 on the display screen. After the vehicle transportation is completed, the driver can drive the vehicle to the maintenance station, find the faulty battery cell 3 through the prompts on the display screen, and repair or replace the faulty battery cell 3, which improves transportation efficiency and saves towing costs.

[0031] Furthermore, the working cell set includes: a working cell electronic switch matrix, the working cell electronic switch matrix includes: a first working cell electronic switch and a second working cell electronic switch, wherein the first working cell electronic switch is a single-pole double-throw switch, including: a common end, a normally open contact and a normally closed contact, the normally open contact is connected to the positive pole of the corresponding working sub-cell, the normally closed contact is connected to the negative pole of the corresponding working sub-cell, and the common end is arranged between the normally open contact and the normally closed contact; the second working cell electronic switch is a double-pole single-throw switch, and the double-pole single-throw switch is respectively connected to the positive pole, negative pole and supercapacitor of the corresponding working sub-cell. Taking cell 1 as an example, the first working cell electronic switch is switch 1, the common end is 1c, the normally open contact is 1a, and the normally closed contact is 1b, and the second working cell electronic switch is switch 11.

[0032] The spare battery cell includes: a spare battery cell electronic switch matrix, wherein the spare battery cell electronic switch matrix includes: a first spare battery cell switch, a second spare battery cell switch and a third spare battery cell switch, and the spare battery cell electronic switch matrix is ​​used to control the connection state of the spare battery cell, wherein the first spare battery cell switch is switch N+1, the second spare battery cell switch is switch N+2, and the third spare battery cell switch is switch N+3.

[0033] The supercapacitor includes a fast charge and discharge switch, wherein the fast charge and discharge switch is switch N+4, and the fast charge and discharge switch is used to connect the supercapacitor to the faulty cell when the switch is closed to perform fast charging or fast discharging on the faulty cell.

[0034] based on Figure 1 The structure diagram of the rapid repair system of the battery cell shown in FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the rapid repair system of the battery cell shown in FIG. 1 , and the embodiment of the present invention introduces the rapid repair method of the battery cell in detail. Figure 2 The flowchart of a rapid repair method for a battery cell is shown, and the method mainly includes the following steps S202 to S204:

[0035] In step S202 , the battery control unit performs fault detection on each working sub-cell in the working cell set, and when a faulty cell is detected, determines the fault type of the faulty cell.

[0036] Step S204, executing the corresponding switch control strategy according to the fault type, by adjusting the connection state of each switch, switching the working state of the supercapacitor and the spare battery cell, so that the supercapacitor can repair the faulty battery cell, or replace the faulty battery cell with the spare battery cell, and sending the position information of the faulty battery cell to the display screen for positioning display. In one embodiment, the switch control strategy is specifically as follows (1) to (4):

[0037] (1) When the working sub-cell of the battery is in normal working state, the first working sub-cell electronic switch is set to the normally open contact, the second working sub-cell electronic switch is disconnected, the first backup sub-cell switch is closed, the second backup sub-cell switch and the third backup sub-cell switch are disconnected, and the fast charge and discharge switch of the supercapacitor is disconnected. That is to say, in the normal driving switch state, the control unit BMU accurately controls the electronic switch matrix, connects switch 1 to position 1a, switch 2 to position 2a, switch 3 to position 3a, switch 4 to position 4a... switch N to position Na, switch N+1 is connected, and cell 1, cell 2, cell 3, cell 4... cell N are connected in series. The battery works normally and can be discharged normally.

[0038] (2) When the fault type is a common fault, the first working cell electronic switch of each working sub-cell is switched to the common end, the second working cell electronic switch of the working sub-cell with the fault is connected, and the fast charge and discharge switch of the supercapacitor is controlled to be connected. That is to say, if a cell, such as cell 3, has a common fault of overvoltage or undervoltage, it is repaired by the supercapacitor. The control unit BMU accurately controls the electronic switch matrix, disconnects switch 1 to position 1c, disconnects switch 2 to position 2c, disconnects switch 3 to position 3c, disconnects switch 4 to position 4c... disconnects switch N to position Nc; closes switch 31, closes switch N+4, and uses the fast charge and discharge characteristics of the supercapacitor. If cell 3 is overvoltage, the excess power of cell 3 is released to the supercapacitor. If cell 3 is undervoltage, the power of the supercapacitor is supplemented to cell 3, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly repairing the cell.

[0039] (3) When the fault type is a serious fault, the first working cell electronic switch of the working sub-cell with the fault is switched to the normally closed contact, and the second spare cell switch of the spare cell is controlled to be closed, and the first spare cell switch is disconnected. That is to say, if a cell, such as cell 3, has a serious fault and cannot be repaired or used, it is replaced with a spare cell. The control unit BMU accurately controls the electronic switch matrix and connects switch 3 to position 3b, which is equivalent to skipping cell 3, disconnecting switch N+1 and connecting switch N+2, and connecting the spare cell in series to the circuit, thereby achieving the purpose of replacing the faulty cell and meeting the normal use of the battery.

[0040] (4) When a fault is detected in the spare cell, the third spare cell switch of the spare cell is closed, and the fast charge and discharge switch of the supercapacitor is controlled to be connected. That is to say, if the spare cell is overvoltage or undervoltage, the supercapacitor is used to repair it. The control unit BMU accurately controls the electronic switch matrix, turns on switch N+3 and turns on switch N+4, and uses the fast charge and discharge characteristics of the supercapacitor. If the spare cell is overvoltage, the excess power of the spare cell is released to the supercapacitor; if the spare cell is undervoltage, the power of the supercapacitor is supplemented to the spare cell, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly repairing the spare cell.

[0041] In summary, the present invention can utilize supercapacitors to charge and discharge and repair faulty battery cells. When a battery cell has a serious hardware failure, the faulty battery cell can be automatically disconnected and a spare battery cell can be automatically added to the circuit, allowing the vehicle to continue driving without having to immediately tow the vehicle to a specific repair station for repair, thereby improving transportation efficiency. After the transportation is completed, the vehicle can be driven to the repair station, saving the cost of towing.

[0042] Regarding the rapid repair method of the battery cell provided in the above embodiment, an embodiment of the present invention provides a rapid repair device for the battery cell, which is applied to the rapid repair system of the battery cell, see Figure 3 The structure diagram of a rapid repair device for a battery cell shown in FIG. 1 includes the following parts:

[0043] The fault detection module 302 performs fault detection processing on each working sub-cell in the working cell set through the battery control unit, and determines the fault type of the faulty cell when a faulty cell is detected.

[0044] The quick repair module 304 executes the corresponding switch control strategy according to the fault type, adjusts the connectivity status of each switch, switches the working status of the supercapacitor and the spare battery cell, so that the supercapacitor can repair the faulty battery cell, or replace the faulty battery cell with the spare battery cell, and sends the location information of the faulty battery cell to the display screen for positioning display.

[0045] The above-mentioned rapid repair device for battery cells provided in the embodiments of the present application can significantly improve the repair efficiency when a battery cell fails.

[0046] In one embodiment, when executing the corresponding switch control strategy according to the fault type, adjusting the connectivity status of each switch, switching the working status of the supercapacitor and the spare battery cell, so that the supercapacitor repairs the faulty battery cell, or replacing the faulty battery cell with the spare battery cell, the above-mentioned quick repair module 304 is also used for: when the working sub-battery cell is in a normal working state, the first working cell electronic switch of the working sub-battery cell is set to the normally open contact, the second working cell electronic switch is disconnected, the first spare cell switch of the spare battery cell is closed, the second spare cell switch and the third spare cell switch are disconnected, and the fast charge and discharge switch of the supercapacitor is disconnected; when the fault type is a normal fault, the first working cell electronic switch of each working sub-battery cell is switched to the common end, the second working cell electronic switch of the working sub-cell with the fault is connected, and the fast charge and discharge switch of the supercapacitor is controlled to be connected; when the fault type is a serious fault, the first working cell electronic switch of the working sub-cell with the fault is switched to the normally closed contact, and the second spare cell switch of the spare battery cell is controlled to be closed, and the first spare cell switch is disconnected.
