[0002] An electric vehicle refers to a vehicle form with a power battery as a vehicle-mounted energy and an electric motor driving system as a power component, which has the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection. However, the safety and reliability of the battery of the vehicle have been a bottleneck problem restricting the development of the electric vehicle. How to comprehensively detect the battery of the electric vehicle in the whole life cycle of the vehicle and monitor the use state of the battery in real time has a very important role in further improving the safety and reliability of the electric vehicle.
[0003] A distributed optical fiber temperature measurement system is composed of a temperature measurement optical fiber, a temperature measurement host and other parts, and realizes temperature monitoring based on the principle of optical time domain reflection (OTDR) and the sensitivity of Raman scattering effect to temperature. The temperature sensing optical fiber serves as a temperature sensor to provide a continuous dynamic monitoring signal, measure the temperature of each position in the laying direction of the temperature sensing optical fiber and locate the temperature abnormal points.
[0004] The prior art has realized the application of the distributed optical fiber temperature measurement technology to battery temperature monitoring.

[0038] The three embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0039] First embodiment:
[0040] The present application provides a temperature control structure for an electric vehicle battery pack, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including a pair of fixed plates 3 arranged inside the sealed box body 1 and located on both sides of the battery pack, the battery pack includes a plurality of uniformly arranged single batteries 2 (for the convenience of showing the internal structure of the sealed box body 1, the top surface structure of the sealed box body 1 is not shown in the figure), in combination with Figure 4As shown, one end of the pair of fixed plates 3 is fixedly connected with the temperature measuring host 5 and the reflector 6 respectively, and the temperature measuring host 5 and the reflector 6 are electrically connected with the temperature sensing optical fiber 4. The temperature sensing optical fiber 4 is horizontally laid between the plurality of single batteries 2. The distributed temperature measurement technology of the temperature sensing optical fiber 4 is used to realize continuous temperature measurement of the internal region of the single battery 2. Since the gas flowability in the sealed box body 1 is poor, and the single batteries 2 are densely distributed, the heat generated by the single batteries 2 is easily accumulated between adjacent single batteries 2. Due to individual differences, the heating conditions of different single batteries 2 are also different. Therefore, compared with the traditional single-point temperature measurement method using temperature sensors, the optical fiber distributed temperature measurement technology can more accurately and comprehensively monitor the heating conditions of the plurality of single batteries 2. The outer side of the sealed box body 1 is provided with a cooling box 9. A pair of hoses 10 are connected between the cooling box 9 and the sealed box body 1. The cooling box 9 and the hoses 10 facilitate the circulation cooling of the sealed box body 1 when it is overheated.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 One end of the pair of fixed plates 3 is fixedly connected with the temperature measuring host 5 and the reflector 6 respectively, and the temperature measuring host 5 and the reflector 6 are electrically connected with the temperature sensing optical fiber 4. The temperature sensing optical fiber 4 is horizontally laid between the plurality of single batteries 2. The distributed temperature measurement technology of the temperature sensing optical fiber 4 is used to realize continuous temperature measurement of the internal region of the single battery 2. Since the gas flowability in the sealed box body 1 is poor, and the single batteries 2 are densely distributed, the heat generated by the single batteries 2 is easily accumulated between adjacent single batteries 2. Due to individual differences, the heating conditions of different single batteries 2 are also different. Therefore, compared with the traditional single-point temperature measurement method using temperature sensors, the optical fiber distributed temperature measurement technology can more accurately and comprehensively monitor the heating conditions of the plurality of single batteries 2. The outer side of the sealed box body 1 is provided with a cooling box 9. A pair of hoses 10 are connected between the cooling box 9 and the sealed box body 1. The cooling box 9 and the hoses 10 facilitate the circulation cooling of the sealed box body 1 when it is overheated. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, one end of the pair of fixed plates 3 is fixedly connected with the temperature measuring host 5 and the reflector 6 respectively, and the temperature measuring host 5 and the reflector 6 are electrically connected with the temperature sensing optical fiber 4. The temperature sensing optical fiber 4 is horizontally laid between the plurality of single batteries 2. The distributed temperature measurement technology of the temperature sensing optical fiber 4 is used to realize continuous temperature measurement of the internal region of the single battery 2. Since the gas flowability in the sealed box body 1 is poor, and the single batteries 2 are densely distributed, the heat generated by the single batteries 2 is easily accumulated between adjacent single batteries 2. Due to individual differences, the heating conditions of different single batteries 2 are also different. Therefore, compared with the traditional single-point temperature measurement method using temperature sensors, the optical fiber distributed temperature measurement technology can more accurately and comprehensively monitor the heating conditions of the plurality of single batteries 2. The outer side of the sealed box body 1 is provided with a cooling box 9. A pair of hoses 10 are connected between the cooling box 9 and the sealed box body 1. The cooling box 9 and the hoses 10 facilitate the circulation cooling of the sealed box body 1 when it is overheated.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The three-axis adjusting piece is connected between the fixed plate 3 and the inner wall of the sealed box body 1, and comprises a gas guide assembly 8 and a pair of two-axis sliding rails 7. The gas guide assembly 8 comprises a gas pump 81 and a pair of air bags 82. The gas pump 81 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed plate 3. The air bags 82 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the fixed plate 3, respectively. The upper end of each air bag 82 is fixedly connected with a soft pipe 83. The soft pipes 83 are fixedly connected with the gas inlet end and the gas outlet end of the gas pump 81, respectively. The two-axis sliding rails 7 are connected between the air bags 82 and the inner wall of the sealed box body 1. The two-axis sliding rail 7 comprises a horizontal guide rail 71 fixedly connected with the inner wall of the sealed box body 1. The outer end of the horizontal guide rail 71 is horizontally slidably connected with a horizontal sliding seat 72. The outer end of the horizontal sliding seat 72 is fixedly connected with a vertical guide rail 73. The outer end of the vertical guide rail 73 is vertically slidably connected with a vertical sliding seat 74. The vertical sliding seat 74 is fixedly connected with the air bag 82.
[0043] Since the temperature sensing optical fiber 4, the temperature measuring host 5 and the reflector 6 are arranged on the pair of fixed plates 3, when the pair of fixed plates 3 moves in the X-axis, Y-axis or Z-axis direction, the temperature sensing optical fiber 4, the temperature measuring host 5 and the reflector 6 are driven to move synchronously, so that the temperature measuring position of the temperature sensing optical fiber 4 is adjusted without changing the laying track of the temperature sensing optical fiber 4, thereby achieving the following two effects: firstly, since the other parts in the sealed box body 1 have poor fluidity, and the heating conditions of different single batteries 2 are different, different positions on the same single battery 2 may also have different temperatures, so that the temperature measuring position of the temperature sensing optical fiber 4 is adjusted, the temperature measuring effect on the single battery 2 and the environment thereof can be more comprehensive; secondly, since different regions have different temperatures, by observing the temperature measuring data of each point of the temperature sensing optical fiber 4 after the position adjustment, and comparing the data with the original temperature measuring data, the temperature measuring accuracy and sensitivity of the temperature sensing optical fiber 4 can be effectively detected, and the fault of the temperature sensing optical fiber 4 can be found in time, so that the single battery 2 can be measured more accurately. The specific position adjustment mode of the temperature sensing optical fiber 4 is as follows:
[0044] X-axis direction adjustment: as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 , by starting the horizontal sliding seat 72, the plurality of horizontal sliding seats 72 move in the same direction on the corresponding horizontal guide rails 71, the vertical guide rails 73, the vertical sliding seats 74 and the fixed plates 3 move in the X-axis direction. At this time, one side of the fixed plate 3 is close to the single battery 2, and the other side of the fixed plate 3 is away from the single battery 2. The temperature sensing optical fiber 4 moves along the gap between the adjacent single batteries 2, so that the position of the temperature sensing optical fiber 4 in the X-axis direction is changed.
[0045] Z-axis direction adjustment: as shown in Figure 7As shown, by starting multiple vertical slides 74 to move upward or downward along the vertical guide rail 73 synchronously, the fixed plate 3 and the temperature sensing fiber 4 are driven to move upward or downward in the gap between the adjacent single batteries 2, realizing the position change of the temperature sensing fiber 4 on the X axis.
[0046] Y-axis direction adjustment: combined with Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, a pair of air pumps 81 are started to pump the gas in one air bag 82 out and deliver it to the other air bag 82, that is, the volume of the pair of air bags 82 respectively decreases and increases, thereby driving the fixed plate 3 between them to move, and the air bag 82 with larger volume pushes the fixed plate 3 to the direction of the air bag 82 with smaller volume (note that the moving direction of the two fixed plates 3 is the same), thereby realizing the position change of the temperature sensing fiber 4 on the Y axis. It is further explained that in the initial state, that is, when the temperature sensing fiber 4 is laid, the temperature sensing fiber 4 can not be in contact with the two rows of single batteries 2, but since the temperature sensing fiber 4 is close to the single batteries 2, when the two rows of single batteries 2 heat up, the temperature can be quickly transferred from the ambient gas to the temperature sensing fiber 4, realizing overall temperature measurement. After the above Y-axis direction adjustment in the initial state, the temperature sensing fiber 4 is just in contact with the outer wall of a certain row of single batteries 2, so that the single battery 2 changes from the original ambient gas temperature measurement to contact temperature measurement of the single battery 2, further improving the accuracy of the temperature measurement of the single battery 2. In addition, after completing the contact temperature measurement of a row of single batteries 2, the air pump 81 can be started again to deliver the gas in the opposite direction, so that the fixed plate 3 moves reversely, driving the temperature sensing fiber 4 to contact with another row of single batteries 2 for contact temperature measurement.
[0047] The starting and running data of the two-axis slide rail 7 and the air guide assembly 8 are pre-set by those skilled in the art, so that the fixed plate 3 is not easy to move excessively during the position adjustment. However, in the Y-axis adjustment, since the air bag 82 is a flexible change structure, there is a certain uncontrollable condition. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the temperature sensing fiber 4 in the Y-axis direction adjustment, the following structure is provided: combined with Figure 3 and as shown, a pair of vertical slides 74 are fixedly connected with a hard rod 12, the air bag 82 is a closed air bag structure with a through hole in the middle, the hard rod 12 movably penetrates the through hole and the fixed plate 3 and is located inside the fiber placement groove 301, the outer end of the hard rod 12 is fixedly connected with a pair of convex rings 13, the convex rings 13 are located inside the fiber placement groove 301, when a pair of air bags 82 are in the initial state with the same volume, the temperature sensing fiber 4 is not in contact with the surface of the single battery 2, and there is a gap between a pair of convex rings 13 and a pair of inner walls of the fiber placement groove 301, when the Y-axis direction adjustment is performed, the fixed plate 3 moves along the hard rod 12, when the temperature sensing fiber 4 moves to contact with a certain row of single batteries 2, the fiber placement groove 301 just moves to the position of touching and abutting the convex ring 13 (for example, Figure 8The temperature sensing fiber 4 is prevented from being excessively pressed against the single battery 2, the laying state of the temperature sensing fiber 4 is prevented from being damaged, and the temperature sensing data of the temperature sensing fiber 4 is prevented from being affected.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 9 The side end of the sealed box 1 is fixedly connected with an upper pipe 101 and a lower pipe 102 penetrating through the sealed box 1, and the side end of the cooling box 9 is fixedly connected with an air pump two 15. The air inlet end of the air pump two 15 is in communication with one end of a heat exchange coil in the cooling box 9 (as shown in Figure 16 The inside of the box is provided with cooling liquid and the heat exchange coil, and the inner wall of the box is fixedly connected with a refrigerating device for cooling the cooling liquid. The first end and the second end of the heat exchange coil are fixedly extended outside the box), one of the two hoses two 10 is threadedly connected between the air outlet end of the air pump two 15 and the lower pipe 102, and the other hose two 10 is threadedly connected between the upper pipe 101 and the cooling box 9 and is in communication with the other end of the heat exchange coil. The end of the lower pipe 102 located inside the sealed box 1 is fixedly connected with an air pipe one 11. The air pipe one 11 is in a U-shaped structure and surrounds the outside of the plurality of single batteries 2. The part of the air pipe one 11 close to the single batteries 2 is provided with uniformly distributed air holes one 1101. When the temperature sensing fiber 4 detects an overheating area, the refrigerating device and the air pump two 15 are started simultaneously to transport the gas in the heat exchange coil to the air pipe one 11 and discharge the gas towards the single batteries 2 through the air holes one 1101 to cool the sealed box 1 and the single batteries 2. At the same time, the excess gas in the sealed box 1 enters the other end of the heat exchange coil through the upper pipe 101 and the hose two 10, exchanges heat with the cooling liquid through the heat exchange coil to be cooled, thereby realizing the operation of circulating and cooling the gas in the sealed box 1. It is to be noted that the sealed box 1 is provided with a controller. The temperature measuring host 5, the reflector 6, the two-axis slide rail 7, the air guiding assembly 8, the air pump two 15 and other electrical structures are coordinated and controlled by the controller, thereby realizing the intelligent temperature measurement and temperature control of the sealed box 1 and the single batteries 2.
[0049] In this application, in order to facilitate the illustration of the structure, each structure is not strictly drawn according to the proportion. In the specific implementation process, those skilled in the art can reasonably design the size of each structure according to the prior art.
[0050] The second embodiment:
[0051] The second embodiment: Figure 10 and Figure 11The extension plates 16 are fixedly connected to the vertical sliding seats 74 near one end of the single battery 2, and the air pipe 2 is fixedly connected between the two extension plates 16. The air pipe 2 is in a U-shaped structure and surrounds the plurality of single batteries 2. The part of the air pipe 2 near the single battery 2 is provided with uniformly distributed air holes 201. The soft tube 3 is fixedly connected between the lower pipe 102 and the air pipe 2.
[0052] Through the above structure, when the inside of the sealed box 1 needs to be cooled, the cold air flows into the air pipe 2 through the lower pipe 102 and the soft tube 3, and is discharged to the single battery 2 through the air holes 201. At the same time, Z-axis direction adjustment operation can also be performed. At this time, the vertical sliding seat 74 drives the extension plate 16 and the air pipe 2 to move synchronously up and down, so that the cold air flow is dynamically released at different height areas, effectively improving the flow efficiency and distribution uniformity of the cold air flow in the battery pack gap. It is specified that: 1. The soft tube 3 can adapt to the movement of the air pipe 2 in the X-axis and Z-axis directions. 2. In order to reduce the movement of the air pipe 2 in the X-axis direction, the part of the air pipe 2 parallel to the fixed plate 3 is arranged on the lower side of the fixed plate 3. In this way, when adjusting in the X-axis direction, the air pipe 2 is not easy to contact and collide with the single battery 2 in advance. The two ends of the air pipe 2 are L-shaped and extend upward (the position indicated by M in the figure) and are fixedly connected to the lower end of the extension plate 16.
[0053] The third embodiment:
[0054] The present embodiment is based on the first embodiment, and the following structure is used instead of the air pipe 1: please refer to Figures 12 to 14 The extension plates 16 are fixedly connected to the vertical sliding seats 74 near one end of the single battery 2, and the air pipe 2 is fixedly connected between the two extension plates 16. The air pipe 2 is in a U-shaped structure and surrounds the plurality of single batteries 2. The part of the air pipe 2 near the single battery 2 is provided with uniformly distributed air holes 201. The soft tube 3 is fixedly connected between the lower pipe 102 and the air pipe 2.
[0055] The fine mesh pipe 21 conveying the cold air flow is arranged between the gaps between adjacent single batteries 2, that is, in the battery pack gap. When cooling is needed, the cold air flow enters the fine mesh pipe 21 through the hose four 23 and is then dispersed and released between the adjacent single batteries 2, so that the single batteries 2 can be directly and quickly cooled. At the same time, the Z-axis direction adjustment operation can be performed, and the vertical sliding seat 74 drives the telescopic rod 22 and the fine mesh pipe 21 to move up and down synchronously. Since the cross clamping plate 20 and the fine mesh pipe 21 are in a clamped state, the cross clamping plate 20 moves up and down along the vertical sliding way 19, so that the fine mesh pipe 21 releases the cold air flow at different height regions of the battery pack gap, thereby improving the flow efficiency and distribution uniformity of the cold air flow in the battery pack gap.
[0056] Supplementary explanation: 1. The hose four 23 can adapt to the movement of the fine mesh pipe 21 in the X-axis and Z-axis directions, and 2. Through the arrangement of the telescopic rod 22 and the cross clamping plate 20, when the fixed mounting plate 3 moves in the X-axis direction, the fine mesh pipe 21 can remain prohibited and is not easy to contact and collide with the single battery 2. The specific distance is as follows: Since the cross clamping plate 20 has a clamping effect on the fine mesh pipe 21, the vertical sliding way 19 can limit the cross clamping plate 20 to move in the X-axis direction. The telescopic rod 22 has a telescopic effect, so when the fixed mounting plate 3 moves in the X-axis direction, a pair of telescopic rods 22 respectively adapt to the movement of a pair of fixed mounting plates 3 and correspondingly extend and retract, so that the cross clamping plate 20 and the fine mesh pipe 21 can remain unchanged.
[0057] As shown in Figure 15 The telescopic rod 22 includes an outer tube 2201, an intermediate tube 2202 and an inner rod 2203 which are connected in an inner and outer sliding sleeve manner. The outer ends of the intermediate tube 2202 and the inner rod 2203 are fixedly connected with annular plates 2204. The inner ends of the outer tube 2201 and the intermediate tube 2202 are provided with annular grooves for sliding of the annular plates 2204. The end of the outer tube 2201 is fixedly connected with the vertical sliding seat 74. The end of the inner rod 2203 is provided with an interface for screwing with the fine mesh pipe 21. Through the above structure, the telescopic rod 22 realizes the free telescopic function. Since the annular plates 2204 can also rotate in the annular grooves, when it is needed to install and dismount the fine mesh pipe 21, the fine mesh pipe 21 is manually stabilized and then the inner rod 2203 is rotated, so that the fine mesh pipe 21 and the interface can be connected and dismounted. Then, through the dismounting between the hose four 23 and the lower pipe 102, the installation and dismounting of the fine mesh pipe 21 in the battery pack gap are realized.
