Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery testing technology, and more particularly to a dual-temperature zone test chamber for predicting battery cycle life failure and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the new energy vehicle industry, the research, development, production and product testing of battery packs and battery controllers and other related equipment are constantly placing increasing demands on water-cooled temperature control equipment.

[0003] For example, to study and verify the performance of battery packs during charging and discharging, it is necessary to simulate the performance of battery packs and battery controllers under different air environmental conditions and different automotive antifreeze temperatures during various operating processes. Regarding the automotive antifreeze temperature range, current national standards and industry requirements generally specify a testing range between -40℃ and +100℃. However, due to the rapid development of this industry in recent years, traditional equipment is insufficient to meet the various new technical requirements of this rapidly evolving industry.

[0004] High and low temperature cycling test chambers (also known as high and low temperature cycle test chambers, high and low temperature test chambers, etc.) are mainly used for adaptability testing of electrical and electronic products, their components, and other materials during storage, transportation, and use in high and low temperature environments. They can generally be divided into programmable high and low temperature test chambers (touchscreen / button type) and single-point high and low temperature test chambers.

[0005] Existing high and low temperature cycling test chambers are often located in small spaces with slow air circulation. However, since the operation of the high and low temperature cycling test chamber generates a lot of heat, this heat tends to accumulate around the chamber in a poorly ventilated environment. This can lead to inadequate heat dissipation, circuit combustion problems, and consequently, material waste.

[0006] In modern society, battery technology has become an indispensable and crucial technology. Due to its high safety, long cycle life, and excellent environmental performance, batteries have become the widely used type of battery in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. However, batteries may experience electrical performance failures during use, which not only affect battery performance and lifespan but may also pose safety hazards. Therefore, how to quickly evaluate methods affecting battery cycle life and how to predict the causes of potential electrical performance failures during battery use have become urgent problems to be solved in the field of battery technology.

[0007] Existing technologies typically assess battery cycle life through cycle life testing. This testing method usually involves repeatedly charging and discharging the battery under constant current and temperature conditions until the battery capacity drops to a predetermined value, at which point the battery's cycle performance can be evaluated. While this method can accurately assess battery cycle life, it requires significant time and resources. In addition, some methods use preliminary cycle data combined with simulations to predict cycle life. Although this method can predict battery cycle life quickly and accurately, it cannot predict the specific issues affecting battery cycle life and does not provide effective support for quickly resolving problems during product development.

The equipment can also store multiple test programs, facilitating repeated testing and improving testing efficiency. It eliminates the need for lengthy cycle testing, saving time and costs.
