Description

At present, electrochemical energy storage mainly uses lithium iron phosphate battery monomers to form modules, the modules are connected in series to form battery clusters, and the battery clusters are connected in parallel to form energy storage battery boxes. There are a large number of batteries inside the liquid-cooled module and the space is airtight. Once there are abuse behaviors such as overcharging and over-discharging of the battery, the combustible gas leaked from the faulty battery may trigger a violent explosion in the airtight space.

[0003] As the last barrier for battery explosion protection, when the internal pressure of the battery reaches the opening threshold of the safety valve, a large amount of gas inside the battery is discharged outward. At the same time, the electrolyte inside the battery will also be sprayed out with the release of pressure, causing the battery safety valve to be flushed open for pressure relief. Although the opening of the safety valve avoids battery explosion, the high-temperature electrolyte leaking together with the gas may splash onto the battery and surrounding components, posing a risk of fire and combustion.

[0027] With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the safety issues of electrochemical energy storage have become increasingly prominent. Currently, electrochemical energy storage mainly uses lithium iron phosphate battery cells to form modules, the modules are connected in series to form battery clusters, and the battery clusters are connected in parallel to form energy storage battery boxes. There are a large number of batteries inside the liquid-cooled module and the space is airtight. Once there are abuse behaviors such as overcharging and over-discharging of the batteries, the combustible gas leaked from the faulty battery may trigger a violent explosion in the airtight space.

[0028] As the last barrier for battery explosion protection, when the internal pressure of the battery reaches the opening threshold of the safety valve, a large amount of gas inside the battery is discharged outward.

[0029] Based on the above situation, the embodiments of the present application provide a safety valve detection circuit, a detection method, a controller, and a medium, which can not only detect the battery temperature, but also quickly and accurately detect whether the battery safety valve is opened, effectively reducing the risk of thermal runaway and improving the safety of the battery module.

[0030] The following further elaborates on the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Figure 1 It is the module principle block diagram of the safety valve detection circuit provided by the embodiments of the present application; Figure 2 It is the circuit schematic diagram of the safety valve detection circuit provided by the embodiments of the present application. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a safety valve detection circuit, including a temperature detection module 100, an open valve detection module 200, a collection module 300, and a processing module 400. Among them, the temperature detection module 100 includes a first voltage-dividing resistor R1, a second voltage-dividing resistor R2, and a temperature sensor for detecting the battery temperature. One end of the temperature sensor is connected to one end of the first voltage-dividing resistor R1, and the other end is connected to one end of the second voltage-dividing resistor R2. The other end of the first voltage-dividing resistor R1 is grounded. It can be understood that the temperature detection module 100 in the safety valve detection circuit of the embodiment of the present application is composed of the first voltage-dividing resistor R1, the second voltage-dividing resistor R2, and the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is connected between the first voltage-dividing resistor R1 and the second voltage-dividing resistor R2 to form a voltage-dividing circuit for converting temperature changes into voltage changes. In one embodiment, the resistance value of the first voltage-dividing resistor R1 can be 300 kΩ, and the resistance value of the second voltage-dividing resistor R2 is 10 kΩ. Alternatively, the first voltage-dividing resistor R1 and the second voltage-dividing resistor R2 can also be selected as resistors with other resistance values according to actual needs.

[0032] Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the open valve detection module 200 provided by the embodiment of the present application. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the valve opening detection module 200 includes a valve opening detection line and a shock absorption element disposed on the battery safety valve. At least a part of the valve opening detection line is attached to the shock absorption element. The valve opening detection module 200 is connected in parallel to both ends of the first voltage dividing resistor R1 through the valve opening detection line. The valve opening detection module 200 is configured to generate a valve opening signal when the electrolyte in the battery safety valve sprays out and impacts the valve opening detection line. It should be noted that the valve opening detection module 200 monitors the state of the battery safety valve in real time through the combination of the valve opening detection line and the shock absorption element. The valve opening detection module 200 consists of a valve opening detection line and a shock absorption element. The shock absorption element is installed on the battery safety valve and is attached to a part of the valve opening detection line to ensure that when the electrolyte sprays out from the battery safety valve, the impact force of the electrolyte can be absorbed in time. When the impact force acts on the valve opening detection line connected to the shock absorption element, the on-off state of the valve opening detection line can be changed, for example, the valve opening detection line can be broken, and then a valve opening signal is generated. The valve opening signal can directly affect the voltage change across the voltage dividing resistor, improving the stability and reliability of the safety valve detection. Further, the valve opening detection module 200 is connected in parallel to the first voltage dividing resistor R1 through the valve opening detection line, enabling the valve opening detection module 200 to achieve electrical connection with the temperature detection module 100. Specifically, one end of the valve opening detection line of the valve opening detection module 200 is connected to the connection point D between one end of the temperature sensor and one end of the first voltage dividing resistor R1, so that the valve opening detection module 200 is respectively connected to the temperature sensor and the first voltage dividing resistor R1, and thus the temperature sensor and the valve opening detection module 200 form a loop. At the same time, the other end of the valve opening detection line is connected to the other end of the first voltage dividing resistor R1 and then grounded together, so that the first voltage dividing resistor R1 and the valve opening detection module 200 form another loop, thereby realizing the feedback monitoring of the valve opening signal.

[0033] The acquisition module 300 is electrically connected to the temperature detection module 100. The acquisition module 300 is configured to acquire the valve opening signal from the target sampling point, and the target sampling point is the connection point between the other end of the temperature sensor and one end of the second voltage dividing resistor R2. It can be understood that, as Figure 2 shown, the connection point between the other end of the temperature sensor and one end of the second voltage dividing resistor R2 is selected as the target sampling point T. The target sampling point T can be the temperature sampling point of the acquisition module 300. When the acquisition module 300 operates, it can also acquire the valve opening signal from the target sampling point T, enabling the acquisition module 300 to simultaneously obtain the temperature signal of the temperature sensor and the valve opening signal of the valve opening detection module 200. While realizing the multi-parameter safety valve detection, the hardware cost is reduced.

[0034] The processing module 400 is electrically connected to the acquisition module 300. The processing module 400 is configured to receive an open valve signal and process the open valve signal to determine whether the battery safety valve has opened. It should be noted that the processing module 400 and the acquisition module 300 achieve signal transmission through electrical connection. The open valve signal collected by the acquisition module 300 from the target sampling point is in the form of an analog signal. The acquisition module 300 can convert the analog signal into a digital signal, and then the processing module 400 performs signal processing after receiving these digital signals, such as filtering and amplification, to remove noise and enhance the signal. Then, the processing module 400 makes a logical judgment to determine whether the safety valve has opened.

[0035] According to the safety valve detection circuit provided by the embodiments of the present application, through the connection and matching of the temperature sensor and the voltage dividing resistor in the temperature detection module 100, the battery temperature can be detected in real time to provide temperature data for the system. And the open valve detection module 200 combines the open valve detection line with the impact absorption element provided on the battery safety valve, and is connected in parallel to both ends of the first voltage dividing resistor R1 through the open valve detection line. The open valve detection line is affected by the electrolyte ejected and impacted in the battery safety valve, thereby generating an open valve signal, so that the acquisition module 300 can collect the open valve signal from the target sampling point while collecting voltage and temperature and feedback it to the processing module 400 for processing, so as to quickly and accurately detect whether the battery safety valve is opened, effectively reduce the risk of thermal runaway, and improve the safety of the battery module.

[0036] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the safety valve detection circuit provided by some embodiments of the present application, the impact absorption element includes a damping piece P. The battery safety valve is provided with a plurality of leakage holes K, and the damping piece P covers the plurality of leakage holes so that the open valve detection line L passes through the central positions of the plurality of leakage holes K and is connected to the other end of the first voltage dividing resistor R1. It can be understood that when the battery safety valve opens, the electrolyte sprays out from the plurality of leakage holes K and impacts the open valve detection line L. The damping piece P absorbs the impact force of the spray, so that the open valve detection line L is impacted and changes its on-off state. For example, the open valve detection line L may be broken by the electrolyte, and then an open valve signal is generated. Further, by aligning the open valve detection line L with the central positions of the leakage holes K, the spraying of the electrolyte can be quickly responded to, and the sensitivity and reliability of the safety valve open valve detection are improved. In one embodiment, the number of leakage holes K provided on the battery safety valve is four, which are located at the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right positions respectively, providing pressure release in multiple directions for the ejected electrolyte.

[0037] Refer to Figure 2, in the safety valve detection circuit provided by some embodiments of the present application, the acquisition module 300 includes a voltage acquisition chip. The first acquisition port of the voltage acquisition chip is connected to the target sampling point to obtain the valve opening signal, and the second acquisition port of the acquisition chip is connected to the connection point between the valve opening detection line and the other end of the first voltage dividing resistor R1 and grounded. It should be noted that the acquisition module 300 includes a voltage acquisition chip with multiple acquisition ports. The first acquisition port GPIO1 of the chip is connected to the target sampling point T to obtain the valve opening signal, and the second acquisition port is connected to the connection point between the valve opening detection line and the other end of the first voltage dividing resistor R1 and grounded. For example, the second acquisition port can be the ground terminal of the voltage acquisition chip and is connected to the ground terminal of the circuit, ensuring that the acquisition module 300 can obtain the valve opening signal and the ground signal simultaneously, improving the accuracy and reliability of signal acquisition.

[0038] Refer to Figure 2 , in the safety valve detection circuit provided by some embodiments of the present application, the temperature sensor includes a thermistor RT, and the valve opening detection line is the ground wire of the thermistor RT. It can be understood that the temperature sensor in the above embodiment can be a thermistor RT (NTC). One end of the thermistor RT is connected to one end of the first voltage dividing resistor R1, and the other end is connected to one end of the second voltage dividing resistor R2. At the same time, the ground wire of the thermistor RT is used as the valve opening detection line. When it is impacted by the electrolyte ejection, the resistance value of the thermistor RT will change, and then the voltage output by the target sampling point T will also change accordingly, and then it is detected by the acquisition module 300 or other measuring devices, so as to realize the detection of the battery temperature and the valve opening of the battery safety valve. In one embodiment, the resistance value of the thermistor RT can be 10 kΩ, or the thermistor RT can also select other resistance values according to actual needs.

[0039] Refer to Figure 2 , in the safety valve detection circuit provided by some embodiments of the present application, the temperature detection module 100 further includes a reference voltage input terminal Vref, and the reference voltage input terminal Vref is connected to the other end of the second voltage dividing resistor R2. It should be noted that the temperature detection module 100 in the embodiments of the present application further includes a reference voltage input terminal Vref, and the reference voltage input terminal Vref is connected to the other end of the second voltage dividing resistor R2, which can provide a stable reference voltage to ensure that the measurement signal of the temperature sensor has high precision and stability.

[0040] Refer to Figure 4 As shown in Figure 4 is a flowchart of a safety valve detection method provided by an embodiment of the present application. It can be understood that this method is applied to the safety valve detection circuit as described in the above embodiment, and this method includes but is not limited to steps S101 to S104: Step S101: Obtain the first valve opening signal and record the number of acquisitions.

[0043] Step S104: Perform an alarm output based on the resistance change value and a first preset resistance value.

[0044] In steps S101 to S104 of some embodiments, the processing module 400 in the safety valve detection circuit first obtains the first valve opening signal and records the number of acquisitions. The first valve opening signal includes a first voltage signal collected from a first target sampling point. Then, based on the first voltage signal, a first detected resistance value is calculated. If the current number of acquisitions exceeds the preset number of acquisitions, for example, the preset number of acquisitions is set to 1 time, it indicates that the currently obtained first valve opening signal is not the valve opening signal of the initial acquisition. Then, the resistance change value is calculated based on the first detected resistance value and the second detected resistance value collected in the previous acquisition. Finally, the processing module 400 performs an alarm output based on the resistance change value and the first preset resistance value.

[0047] Step S202: Calculate a second detected resistance value based on the second voltage signal.

[0048] Step S203: When the second detected resistance value is less than the second preset resistance value, output a first warning signal.
