A battery is a general term, which can refer to a battery pack. A battery pack is an integrated unit assembled from multiple battery modules or multiple battery cells, and is used to store and provide electrical energy. There is a certain probability of a short circuit between the external power supply interface of the battery and the battery housing. When there is a short circuit between the external power supply interface and the housing, the battery is likely to be damaged or even catch fire. Therefore, it is necessary to detect whether there is a short circuit between the battery housing and the external power supply interface of the battery, so as to reduce the probability of battery damage or battery short-circuit fire caused by the short circuit between the housing and the external power supply interface during battery use. In the related art, the detection of the short-circuit condition between each power supply interface of the battery under test and the housing of the battery under test is carried out one by one, and the detection efficiency is low. With the development of battery technology, the number of high-voltage relays in the battery pack is increasing. According to the method of sequentially performing short-circuit tests on the housing of the battery under test and each power supply interface in the related art, the test rate is low and cannot meet the test beat requirements of the end-of-life test of the battery.

[0045] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "multiple" means more than two (including two). Similarly, "multiple groups" means more than two groups (including two groups), and "multiple pieces" means more than two pieces (including two pieces).

[0046] Batteries, especially power batteries, have the advantages of high power, high energy density, good environmental protection effect, etc., and have been widely used in technical fields such as new energy vehicles, consumer electronics, energy storage systems, etc. Power batteries can be used in, but are not limited to, electrical devices such as vehicles, ships or aircrafts. Taking electric vehicles as an example, electric vehicles powered by power batteries have the advantages of good environmental protection effect, low noise, low cost, and can effectively promote energy conservation and emission reduction, and have great market application prospects, which is conducive to the sustainable development of the economy.

[0047] A battery is a general term and can refer to a battery pack. A battery pack generally includes multiple battery modules, and a battery module includes multiple battery cells. The battery pack has multiple power supply interface pairs, and each power supply interface pair includes a positive interface and a negative interface.

[0048] There is a certain probability of a short circuit between the external power supply interface of the battery and the battery housing. If there is a short circuit between the external power supply interface of the battery and the housing, the battery is likely to be damaged or even catch fire when in use. Therefore, it is necessary to detect whether there is a short circuit between the battery housing and the external power supply interface of the battery to reduce the probability of battery damage or battery short circuit and fire when the battery is in use due to the short circuit between the housing and the external power supply interface.

[0049] In the related art, the detection of the short circuit condition between each power supply interface of the battery under test and the housing of the battery under test is carried out one by one. After detecting that one power supply interface and the housing are not short-circuited, then the next power supply interface is detected to see if it is short-circuited with the housing. Since the number of power supply interfaces is large, the efficiency of sequential single detection is low. However, with the development of battery technology, the number of external power supply interfaces of the battery pack is increasing. According to the method of sequentially testing the short circuit between the housing of the battery under test and each power supply interface in the related art, the testing rate is low and cannot meet the testing beat requirements of the end-of-life cycle test of the battery.

[0050] Therefore, simultaneously detecting whether there is a short circuit between each power supply interface of the battery and the housing is a solution to the technical problems existing in the related art. In view of the technical problems existing in the related art, an embodiment of the present application provides a short circuit detection device, including a control module, a resistance detection device, a first wiring pair connecting the resistance detection device, a second wiring pair for connecting the housing of the battery under test, and a plurality of wiring groups for connecting the power supply interfaces of the battery under test. Switches are provided on each wire of the first wiring pair, the second wiring pair, and the wiring groups. The first wiring pair, the second wiring pair, and the wiring groups are connected to each other. The control module is respectively connected to the resistance detection device and each of the switches. The control module is used to control the opening and closing of each of the switches to form a short circuit detection circuit between the housing and the power supply interface. The short circuit detection device of the embodiment of the present application can control the opening and closing of each switch through the control module to form a short circuit detection circuit between the housing and the power supply interface, so as to be able to simultaneously test whether there is a power supply interface that is short-circuited with the housing of the battery under test among multiple power supply interfaces of the battery under test, improve the short circuit test efficiency, and meet the testing beat requirements of the end-of-life cycle test of the battery.

[0051] The following describes a short circuit detection device proposed according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Reference Figure 1As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a short - circuit detection device, which includes a control module, a resistance detection device, a first wiring pair 10 connecting the resistance detection device, a second wiring pair 20 for connecting to the outer shell of the battery under test, and a plurality of wiring groups 30 for connecting to the power supply interface of the battery under test; a switch K is provided on each wire of the first wiring pair 10, the second wiring pair 20 and the wiring groups 30; the first wiring pair 10, the second wiring pair 20 and the wiring groups 30 are connected to each other; the control module is respectively connected to the resistance detection device and each switch K; the control module is used to control the opening and closing of each switch K to form a short - circuit detection circuit between the outer shell and the power supply interface.

[0053] The control module may include a microcontroller or a microprocessor, for example, it may be a single - chip microcomputer or an ARM processor. The resistance detection device may be, for example, a multimeter or other devices for detecting resistance. The first wiring pair 10 includes two wires, one of which is connected to the positive pole of the resistance detection device, and the other is connected to the negative pole of the resistance detection device. The second wiring pair 20 includes two wires, one of the wires in the second wiring pair 20 is connected to the outer shell and the positive pole of the resistance detection device, and the other wire in the second wiring pair 20 is connected to the outer shell and the negative pole of the resistance detection device. The battery under test has multiple power supply interface pairs, each power supply interface pair includes two power supply interfaces, and the two power supply interfaces include a positive - pole interface and a negative - pole interface. The wires in the wiring group 30 are connected to the power supply interface, the resistance detection device and the outer shell of the battery under test. A switch K is provided on each wire, and the conduction of the wire where it is located is realized by the opening or closing of the switch.

[0054] By controlling the opening and closing of each switch K, the control module can realize the conduction or disconnection of the corresponding wire, and can form short - circuit detection circuits with various structures between the outer shell and the power supply interface. There is no need to change the wiring in the short - circuit detection device. Only by selectively opening and closing the switches on each wire can different - structure short - circuit detection circuits be realized, which is convenient to operate; moreover, in the short - circuit detection circuit between the outer shell and the power supply interface, multiple power supply interfaces can be connected to the resistance detection device and the outer shell of the battery under test at the same time, so that it is possible to simultaneously test whether there is a short - circuit between multiple power supply interfaces and the outer shell, improving the short - circuit detection efficiency.

The wiring group 30 includes two positive - pole wires connected to the positive - pole bus P and two negative - pole wires connected to the negative - pole bus N.

[0056] The interconnection between the first wiring pair 10, the second wiring pair 20 and each wiring group 30 is realized through the positive busbar P and the negative busbar N, which can simplify the circuit wiring structure, facilitate wiring, and save the space occupied by the circuit lines.

[0057] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the wiring group 30 includes a first positive wiring 31, a second positive wiring 32, a first negative wiring 33, a second negative wiring 34, a first wiring terminal 35 and a second wiring terminal 36. Both the first positive wiring 31 and the first negative wiring 33 are connected to the first wiring terminal 35, and both the second positive wiring 32 and the second negative wiring 34 are connected to the second wiring terminal 36. The first wiring terminal 35 is used to connect the positive interface of the power supply interface, and the second wiring terminal 36 is used to connect the negative interface of the power supply interface. In this way, it is possible to more conveniently connect the two positive wirings and the two negative wirings of the wiring group to the power supply interface, and different connection mode short-circuit detection circuits can be formed between the housing and the power supply interface by selectively controlling the opening and closing of the switches K on each wiring in the wiring group 30.

[0068] S10: Control the line between the outer shell of the battery under test and the resistance detection device to be conductive.

[0069] In some embodiments, the wiring group includes a first positive - pole wiring, a second positive - pole wiring, a first negative - pole wiring, a second negative - pole wiring, a first wiring terminal, and a second wiring terminal. The first positive - pole wiring and the first negative - pole wiring are both connected to the first wiring terminal, and the second positive - pole wiring and the second negative - pole wiring are both connected to the second wiring terminal; the first wiring terminal is used to connect the positive - pole interface of the power supply interface, and the second wiring terminal is used to connect the negative - pole interface of the power supply interface.

[0070] Exemplarily, controlling the line between the outer shell of the battery under test and the resistance detection device to be conductive may include: controlling the switches on the negative - pole wirings in the first wiring pair and the negative - pole wirings in the second wiring pair to be both closed, so that the wiring connected between the outer shell of the battery under test and the negative pole of the resistance detection device is conductive, facilitating the subsequent formation of a test circuit for testing the resistance between the outer shell of the battery under test and each power supply interface.

[0071] To pass through the inclusion Figure 4Taking the short - circuit detection system of the short - circuit detection device shown as an example to implement this short - circuit detection method, the control module sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to switch K2 on the negative - pole wire L2 in the first wiring pair and sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to switch K4 on the negative - pole wire L4 in the second wiring pair, closing switches K2 and K4; in this way, the outer shell of the battery under test is conducted to the negative pole of the battery detection device through the negative - pole wire L4, the negative - pole bus N, and the negative - pole wire L2, facilitating subsequent operations to form a test circuit for measuring the resistance between the outer shell of the battery under test and each power - supply interface.

[0072] Exemplarily, controlling the conduction of the line between the outer shell of the battery under test and the resistance detection device may include: controlling both the switch on the positive - pole wire in the first wiring pair and the switch on the positive - pole wire in the second wiring pair to close, so that the outer shell of the battery under test is conducted to the positive pole of the resistance detection device, facilitating subsequent formation of a test circuit for measuring the resistance between the outer shell of the battery under test and each power - supply interface.

[0073] Taking as an example the implementation of the short - circuit detection method by the short - circuit detection system of the short - circuit detection device shown Figure 4 Taking the short - circuit detection system of the short - circuit detection device shown as an example to implement this short - circuit detection method, the control module sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to switch K1 on the positive - pole wire L1 in the first wiring pair and sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to switch K3 on the positive - pole wire L3 in the second wiring pair, closing switches K1 and K3; in this way, the outer shell of the battery under test is conducted to the positive pole of the battery detection device through the positive - pole wire L3, the positive - pole bus P, and the positive - pole wire L1, facilitating subsequent operations to form a test circuit for measuring the resistance between the outer shell of the battery under test and each power - supply interface.

[0074] S20. Control the conduction of the line between the interface of the target electrode in each power - supply interface of the battery under test and the target electrode of the resistance detection device, where the target electrode includes any electrode between the positive pole and the negative pole.

[0075] When the switches on the negative electrodes of the first wiring pair and the switches on the negative electrodes of the second wiring pair are both closed, controlling the conduction of the line between the interface of the target electrode in each power supply interface of the battery under test and the target electrode of the resistance detection device may include: controlling the switches on the positive electrodes of the first wiring pair and the switches on the first positive electrodes of each wiring group to be both closed. In this example, the target electrode is the positive electrode, and the interface of the target electrode is the positive interface. In this way, the conduction between the housing and the negative electrode of the resistance detection device is achieved, and the conduction between the positive electrode of the resistance detection device and the positive interfaces in each power supply interface is achieved, forming a test circuit for testing the resistance between the housing of the battery under test and the positive interfaces of each power supply interface. Thus, the resistance between the positive interfaces in each power supply interface and the housing can be detected simultaneously by the resistance detection device. If there is at least one positive interface that is short-circuited with the housing among the positive interfaces, the resistance value detected by the resistance detection device is the short-circuit resistance value, which is a relatively small value; if there is no positive interface that is short-circuited with the housing among the positive interfaces, that is, the positive interfaces are insulated from the housing, the resistance value detected by the resistance detection device is theoretically infinite and may exceed the measurement range of the resistance detection device in practice.

[0076] It can be achieved through Figure 4 Taking the short-circuit detection system including the short-circuit detection device shown as an example, when the switch K2 on the negative wiring L2 of the first wiring pair and the switch K4 on the negative wiring L4 of the second wiring pair are both closed, the control module sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to the switch K1 on the positive wiring L1 of the first wiring pair, and sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to the switches K A1 、K A3 、……、K A(2n-1) in each wiring group, so as to close K1, K A1 、K A3 、……、K A(2n-1) . In this way, the housing of the battery under test is conducted with the negative electrode of the resistance detection device, and the positive electrode of the resistance detection device is respectively conducted with the positive interfaces in each power supply interface, forming a test circuit for testing the resistance between the housing of the battery under test and the positive interfaces of each power supply interface. Thus, the resistance between the positive interfaces in each power supply interface and the housing can be detected simultaneously by the resistance detection device.

[0077] When the switches on the negative electrodes of the first wiring pair and the negative electrodes of the second wiring pair are both closed, controlling the conduction of the line between the interface of the target electrode in each power supply interface of the battery under test and the target electrode of the resistance detection device may include: controlling the switches on the positive electrodes of the first wiring pair and the second positive electrodes in each wiring group to be closed. In this example, the target electrode is the negative electrode, and the interface of the target electrode is the negative interface. In this way, the conduction between the housing and the negative electrode of the resistance detection device is achieved, and the conduction between the positive electrode of the resistance detection device and the negative interfaces in each power supply interface is achieved, forming a test circuit for testing the resistance between the housing of the battery under test and the negative interfaces of each power supply interface. Thus, the resistance between the negative interfaces and the housing in each power supply interface can be detected simultaneously by the resistance detection device. If there is at least one negative interface short-circuited with the housing among the negative interfaces, the resistance value detected by the resistance detection device is the short-circuit resistance value, which is a relatively small value; if there is no negative interface short-circuited with the housing among the negative interfaces, that is, the negative interfaces are insulated from the housing, the resistance value detected by the resistance detection device is theoretically infinite and may exceed the measurement range of the resistance detection device in practice.

[0078] For example, taking the implementation of this short-circuit detection method through a short-circuit detection system including Figure 4 the short-circuit detection device shown as an example, when the switches K2 on the negative wiring L2 of the first wiring pair and the switches K4 on the negative wiring L4 of the second wiring pair are both closed, the control module sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to the switch K1 on the positive wiring L1 of the first wiring pair, and sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to the switches K A2 、K A4 、……、K A(2n) in each wiring group, so as to close K1, K A2 、K A4 、……、K A(2n) . In this way, the housing of the battery under test is conducted with the negative electrode of the resistance detection device, and the positive electrode of the resistance detection device is respectively conducted with the negative interfaces in each power supply interface, forming a test circuit for testing the resistance between the housing of the battery under test and the negative interfaces of each power supply interface. Thus, the resistance between the negative interfaces and the housing in each power supply interface can be detected simultaneously by the resistance detection device.

[0079] When the switches on the negative electrodes of the first pair of wires and the switches on the negative electrodes of the second pair of wires are both closed, by the above steps of controlling the switches on the positive electrodes of the first pair of wires and the switches on the first positive electrodes of each wire group to be closed, a resistance detection circuit between each positive electrode interface and the housing can be formed, and the resistance values between each positive electrode interface and the housing can be detected simultaneously by the resistance detection device; by the above steps of controlling the switches on the positive electrodes of the first pair of wires and the switches on the second positive electrodes of each wire group to be closed, a resistance detection circuit between each negative electrode interface and the housing can be formed, and the resistance values between each negative electrode interface and the housing can be detected simultaneously by the resistance detection device; thus, the resistance detection between each power supply interface and the housing is realized.

[0080] When the switches on the positive electrodes of the first pair of wires and the switches on the positive electrodes of the second pair of wires are both closed, controlling the line between the interface of the target electrode in each power supply interface of the battery under test and the target electrode of the resistance detection device to be conductive may include: controlling the switches on the negative electrodes of the first pair of wires and the switches on the first negative electrodes of each wire group to be closed. In this example, the target electrode is the positive electrode, and the interface of the target electrode is the positive electrode interface. In this way, the housing is made conductive to the positive electrode of the resistance detection device, and the negative electrode of the resistance detection device is made conductive to the positive electrode interfaces in each wire group, thereby forming a test circuit for testing whether there is a short circuit between the housing of the battery under test and the positive electrode interfaces of each power supply interface.

[0081] For example, taking the short - circuit detection method implemented by a short - circuit detection system including Figure 4 the short - circuit detection device shown as an example, when the switch K1 on the positive electrode wire L1 of the first pair of wires and the switch K3 on the positive electrode wire L3 of the second pair of wires are both closed, the control module sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to the switch K2 on the negative electrode wire L2 of the first pair of wires, and sends electrical signals for controlling the switches to close to the switches K B1 、K B3 .....、K B(2n-1) in each wire group, thereby closing K2, K B1 、K B3 .....、K B(2n-1) . In this way, the housing of the battery under test is made conductive to the positive electrode of the resistance detection device, and the negative electrode of the resistance detection device is respectively made conductive to the positive electrode interfaces in each power supply interface, forming a test circuit for testing the resistance between the housing of the battery under test and the positive electrode interfaces of each power supply interface, so that the resistance between the positive electrode interface and the housing in each power supply interface can be detected by the resistance detection device.

[0082] When the switches on the positive electrodes of the first wiring pair and the switches on the positive electrodes of the second wiring pair are both closed, controlling the line between the interface of the target electrode in each power supply interface of the battery under test and the target electrode of the resistance detection device to be conductive may include: controlling the switches on the negative electrodes of the first wiring pair and the switches on the second negative electrodes in each wiring group to be both closed. In this example, the target electrode is the negative electrode, and the interface of the target electrode is the negative interface. In this way, the conduction between the housing and the positive electrode of the resistance detection device, and the conduction between the negative electrode of the resistance detection device and the negative interfaces in each wiring group are achieved, thereby forming a test circuit for testing the resistance between the housing of the battery under test and the negative interfaces of each power supply interface, so as to test whether there is a short circuit between the housing of the battery under test and the negative interfaces of each power supply interface. If there is at least one negative interface that is short-circuited with the housing among the negative interfaces, the resistance value detected by the resistance detection device is the short-circuit resistance value, which is a relatively small value; if there is no negative interface that is short-circuited with the housing among the negative interfaces, that is, the negative interfaces are insulated from the housing, the resistance value detected by the resistance detection device is theoretically approaching infinity, and in practice, it may exceed the measurement range of the resistance detection device.

[0083] Take the short-circuit detection method implemented by a short-circuit detection system including Figure 4 the short-circuit detection device shown as an example. When the switches K1 on the positive electrode wiring L1 of the first wiring pair and the switches K3 on the positive electrode wiring L3 of the second wiring pair are both closed, the control module sends an electrical signal to control the switch K2 on the negative electrode wiring L2 of the first wiring pair to close the switch, and sends an electrical signal to control the switches K B2 、K B4 、……、K B(2n) in each wiring group to close the switches, so as to close K2, K B2 、K B4 、……、K B(2n) . In this way, the housing of the battery under test is conductive to the positive electrode of the resistance detection device, and the negative electrode of the resistance detection device is respectively conductive to the negative interfaces in each power supply interface, forming a test circuit for testing the resistance between the housing of the battery under test and the negative interfaces of each power supply interface, so that the resistance between the negative interfaces and the housing in each power supply interface can be detected simultaneously by the resistance detection device.

[0084] When the switches on the positive terminals of the first wiring pair and the switches on the positive terminals of the second wiring pair are both closed, control the switches on the negative terminals of the first wiring pair and the switches on the first negative terminals of each wiring group to be closed, so as to test whether there is a short circuit between the outer casing of the battery under test and the positive terminals of each power supply interface; control the switches on the negative terminals of the first wiring pair and the switches on the second negative terminals of each wiring group to be closed, so as to test whether there is a short circuit between the outer casing of the battery under test and the negative terminals of each power supply interface. In this way, the resistance detection between each power supply interface and the outer casing is realized. In addition, a structure different from the aforementioned test circuit is adopted, thus providing a more diverse short-circuit test circuit structure and more test circuit structure solutions.

[0085] S30. Based on the resistance between the outer casing and the power supply interface measured by the resistance detection device, determine whether there is a short circuit between the outer casing and the power supply interface.

[0086] The resistance detection device sends the measured resistance between the outer casing and the power supply interface to the control module. The control module judges whether there is a short circuit condition between the outer casing and the power supply interface according to the resistance measured by the resistance detection device.

[0087] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, based on the resistance between the outer casing and the power supply interface measured by the resistance detection device, determining whether there is a short circuit between the outer casing and the power supply interface may include:

[0088] S301. Determine that there is a short circuit between the outer casing and the target electrode according to the resistance between the outer casing and the target electrode measured by the resistance detection device being less than or equal to the first preset resistance value;

[0089] S302. Determine that there is no short circuit between the outer casing and the target electrode according to the resistance between the outer casing and the target electrode measured by the resistance detection device being greater than the second preset resistance value; wherein, the second preset resistance value is greater than or equal to the first preset resistance value.

[0090] When performing resistance detection, the resistance between each power supply interface of the same pole and the housing is detected simultaneously. For example, the resistance between each positive interface and the housing is detected simultaneously, or the resistance between each negative interface and the housing is detected simultaneously. In the case of a short circuit occurring between the housing and at least one power supply interface of the battery pack, the resistance value detected by the resistance detection device is theoretically close to 0. In practical applications, the resistance value detected by the resistance detection device is small. It can be determined that a short circuit occurs between the housing and the power supply interface when the resistance value is less than or equal to the first preset resistance value; when no short circuit occurs between the housing and each power supply interface of the same pole, the housing and each power supply interface of the same pole are equivalent to an open circuit. Theoretically, the measured resistance value should tend to infinity. The actually measured resistance value will be relatively large, or may exceed the measurement range of the resistance detection device. If the resistance value is greater than the second preset resistance value, it is determined that no short circuit occurs between the housing and the power supply interface. Among them, the situation where the resistance value exceeds the measurement range of the resistance detection device also belongs to the situation where the resistance value is greater than the second preset resistance value. In this way, according to the result of the resistance detection, the control module can determine whether there is a short circuit between the battery housing and the power supply interface. The first preset resistance value and the second preset resistance value can be preset according to the actual application needs.

[0091] By comparing the measured resistance between the housing and the target electrode with the first preset resistance value and the second preset resistance value to determine whether a short circuit occurs, the steps are relatively simple, which can further improve the short circuit detection efficiency.

[0092] The descriptions of the above embodiments tend to emphasize the differences between the embodiments. Their similarities or similarities can be referred to each other. For the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated in this article.

[0093] In a specific example, a short circuit detection method is applied to a short circuit detection system. The short circuit detection system includes Figure 4 the short circuit detection device and the battery under test shown. The second wiring pair is connected to the housing of the battery under test, the wiring group is connected to the power supply interface of the battery under test, and the resistance detection device is a multimeter. The short circuit detection method of this example may include the following steps:

[0094] The control module sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to the switch K2 on the negative wiring L2 in the first wiring pair and sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to the switch K4 on the negative wiring L4 in the second wiring pair, closing the switches K2 and K4; in this way, the housing of the battery under test is conducted to the negative pole of the battery detection device through the negative wiring L4, the negative busbar N, and the negative wiring L2;

[0095] The control module sends an electrical signal for controlling the switch to close to the switch K1 on the positive wiring L1 in the first wiring pair and sends it to the switch K on the first positive wiring in each wiring groupA1 , K A3 , ……, K A(2n-1) Send an electrical signal to close the control switch, thereby closing K1, K A1 , K A3 , ……, K A(2n-1) , so that the outer shell of the battery under test is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the resistance detection device, and the positive electrode of the resistance detection device is electrically connected to the positive electrode interfaces in each power supply interface respectively, forming a test circuit for testing the resistance between the outer shell of the battery under test and the positive electrode interfaces of each power supply interface. Thus, the resistance between the positive electrode interface and the outer shell in each power supply interface can be detected simultaneously by the resistance detection device;

[0096] The control module sends an electrical signal to control the switch K1 on the positive electrode wiring L1 in the first wiring pair to close the switch, and sends an electrical signal to control the switch K on the second positive electrode wiring in each wiring group A2 , K A4 , ……, K A(2n) to send an electrical signal to close the control switch, thereby closing K1, K A2 , K A4 , ……, K A(2n) , so that the outer shell of the battery under test is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the resistance detection device, and the positive electrode of the resistance detection device is electrically connected to the negative electrode interfaces in each power supply interface respectively, forming a test circuit for testing the resistance between the outer shell of the battery under test and the negative electrode interfaces of each power supply interface. Thus, the resistance between the negative electrode interface and the outer shell in each power supply interface can be detected simultaneously by the resistance detection device;

[0097] The control module receives the resistance value sent by the resistance detection device. The control module determines that a short circuit occurs between the outer shell and the power supply interface according to the resistance between the outer shell and the power supply interface measured by the resistance detection device being less than or equal to the first preset resistance value; the control module determines that no short circuit occurs between the outer shell and the power supply interface according to the resistance between the outer shell and the power supply interface measured by the resistance detection device being greater than the second preset resistance value; wherein, the second preset resistance value is greater than or equal to the first preset resistance value. In this way, the detection of whether there is a short circuit between the outer shell and each power supply interface is realized.

[0098] The short-circuit detection method of this example can form a short-circuit detection circuit between the outer shell of the battery under test and the power supply interface by controlling the opening and closing of each switch, so that it can simultaneously test whether there is a power supply interface that is short-circuited with the outer shell of the battery under test among multiple power supply interfaces of the battery under test, improving the short-circuit test efficiency to meet the test beat requirements of the end-of-battery-life cycle test.
