Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery safety testing technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment, medium, and procedure for testing the thermal runaway of a battery. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, three main methods are used to trigger thermal runaway: needle penetration, overcharging, and external heating. Needle penetration and overcharging are commonly used methods to trigger thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries, and they can trigger thermal runaway in a relatively short time. For example, a steel needle piercing the battery forcibly causes an internal short circuit, resulting in a sudden increase in local current and violent heat release. This, combined with the thermal runaway chain reaction, accelerates the process to achieve thermal runaway. When the voltage exceeds the safety limit, the electrolyte decomposes and produces gas, lithium plating at the negative electrode forms dendrites that pierce the separator, and the positive electrode lattice collapses, releasing oxygen and exacerbating the heat generated by side reactions, ultimately leading to thermal runaway. Heating is another method to trigger battery thermal runaway. Heating pads can be used to heat the outer surface of the battery; internal heating elements can be built in to improve heating efficiency; and heating elements between the electrodes can be designed to heat the test battery.

[0003] However, among the related technologies, needle puncture can damage the battery structure and has poor repeatability; overcharging requires additional energy input and cannot reflect real thermal runaway scenarios; external heating has low efficiency and poor heat distribution uniformity, making it difficult to achieve precise control and uniform heating inside the battery, and it lacks universality and urgently needs improvement.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0037] Before introducing the battery thermal runaway test method proposed in the embodiments of this application, we will first explain an electromagnetic induction experimental device involved in the embodiments of this application.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 1 This is a block diagram of an electromagnetic induction experimental apparatus according to an embodiment of this application.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the electromagnetic induction experimental device includes: a heating coil 101, a safety cover 102, an infrared thermal imager 103, a control system 104, an operation unit 105, an adjustable frequency AC power supply 106, and a sample stage 107.

[0040] In this embodiment, the sample stage 107 is fixed and placed at the center of the heating coil 101, and the battery under test, such as a lithium battery, is fixed on the sample stage 107 to ensure a stable relative position between the battery under test and the heating coil 101. A voltage sensor and an infrared thermal imager 103 are installed at key locations on the surface of the battery under test to monitor its voltage and temperature changes in real time. The heating coil 101 is connected to a frequency-adjustable AC power supply 106 with adjustable frequency and current. Through the frequency-adjustable AC power supply 106 and the control system 104, the power supply adjusts its output parameters in real time according to feedback signals.

[0041] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the heating coil 101 may be composed of a multi-turn copper coil; the control system 104 adopts a real-time controller and a data logger; the safety cover 102 adopts a non-metallic adjustable clamp and an electromagnetic shielding chamber design, which can be specifically set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0042] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a battery thermal runaway testing method, apparatus, device, medium, and program product according to embodiments of this application. Addressing the issues mentioned in the background art, such as needle puncture damaging battery structure and poor repeatability; overcharging requiring additional energy input and failing to reflect real thermal runaway scenarios; and low external heating efficiency and poor heat distribution uniformity, making precise control and uniform heating of the battery's interior difficult and lacking universality, this application provides a battery thermal runaway testing method. In this method, heating parameters for a corresponding electromagnetic induction device are determined based on the battery state parameters of the battery under test, thereby generating the desired temperature rise rate of the battery under test. The adjustment value of the heating parameters is calculated based on the difference between the desired and actual temperature rise rates, thus heating the battery under test until certain thermal runaway conditions are met, obtaining the thermal runaway test result. Dynamic parameter matching accurately simulates real-world abuse scenarios, improving test reliability and making test results closer to the actual thermal runaway boundary. Real-time feedback correction forms a closed-loop control, improving test efficiency and safety. Precise parameter adjustment reduces invalid test times, lowers sample and equipment wear, supports diverse testing needs, is highly adaptable, and achieves multi-scenario coverage. This solves the problems in related technologies, such as the damage to battery structure caused by needle puncture and poor repeatability; the need for additional energy input for overcharging and the inability to reflect real thermal runaway scenarios; the low efficiency of external heating and poor heat distribution uniformity, making it difficult to achieve precise control and uniform heating of the battery interior and lacking universality.

[0043] Specifically, Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a battery thermal runaway testing method provided according to an embodiment of this application.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the thermal runaway test method for this battery includes the following steps: In step S201, at least one battery state parameter of the battery under test is obtained, and based on the at least one battery state parameter, at least one heating parameter of the electromagnetic induction device for heating the battery under test is determined.

[0045] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the heating parameters may include, but are not limited to, the current and operating frequency of the electromagnetic induction device, etc., and this application does not impose specific limitations; the battery state parameters may include, but are not limited to, the specific heat capacity, resistivity, type, specifications, temperature, voltage and current of the battery, etc., and this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0046] Specific heat capacity can be understood as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of battery material by 1°C, and can be used to reflect the battery's heat absorption / release capacity; resistivity can be used to describe the property of a material to impede the flow of current, and is related to temperature and material purity; battery type can include, but is not limited to, lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, etc., and this application does not impose specific limitations; specifications can include, but are not limited to, the battery's geometric dimensions (such as length, width, and thickness), electrode material type, electrolyte composition, etc., and this application does not impose specific limitations; temperature can characterize the thermodynamic temperature inside or on the surface of the battery, and directly affects the electrochemical reaction rate and material stability; current can describe the charge flow rate during battery charging and discharging; voltage can describe the potential difference between the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, reflecting the battery's remaining energy and internal resistance voltage drop.

[0047] Furthermore, the thermal runaway state in the embodiments of this application can be understood as the phenomenon that, under specific conditions (such as overcharging, over-discharging, short circuit, high temperature, etc.), the heat generated by the internal chemical reaction of the battery exceeds the heat dissipation capacity, causing the temperature to rise uncontrollably, and thus triggering a series of chain reactions.

[0048] In some embodiments, the present application embodiments may first obtain the battery state parameters of the battery under test, such as a lithium-ion battery, in a thermal runaway state, such as the specifications, specific heat capacity and resistivity, temperature, current, voltage, etc. of the lithium-ion battery, and based on the battery state parameters, initialize the heating parameters of the electromagnetic induction device for heating the battery under test, such as current and operating frequency.

[0049] For example, in combination Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the initial operating frequency and current of the electromagnetic induction experimental device can be set according to the specifications, specific heat capacity, resistivity, temperature, current and voltage of the lithium-ion battery under thermal runaway state.

[0050] In step S202, the expected temperature rise rate of the battery under test is generated based on at least one heating parameter and at least one battery state parameter, and the actual temperature rise rate of the battery under test at the current moment is detected.

[0051] In some embodiments, the present application embodiments can calculate the desired temperature rise rate of the battery based on heating parameters and battery state parameters, and use it as a control target.

[0052] Furthermore, embodiments of this application can also detect the actual temperature rise rate of the battery under test at the current moment and stabilize the actual temperature rise rate near the desired temperature rise rate.

[0053] For example, in the embodiments of this application, the desired temperature rise rate can be calculated based on the specifications, specific heat capacity, resistivity, temperature, current, voltage, etc. of the lithium-ion battery under thermal runaway state, combined with the initial operating frequency and current of the electromagnetic induction experimental device, and used as the control target to ensure that the actual temperature rise rate is stable near the desired temperature rise rate.

[0054] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, generating the expected temperature rise rate of the battery under test based on at least one heating parameter and at least one battery state parameter includes: inputting at least one heating parameter and at least one battery state parameter into a pre-trained battery temperature rise model to output the expected temperature rise rate of the battery under test, wherein the battery temperature rise model is trained from battery state training data and heating training data from an electromagnetic induction device, and the expression of the battery temperature rise model may be, but is not limited to, as follows: , in, Indicates the expected rate of temperature rise of the battery; Indicates the operating frequency of the electromagnetic induction device; This represents the current in an electromagnetic induction coil; Indicates the resistivity of the battery; This indicates the battery's equivalent specific heat capacity; It represents the electromagnetic induction constant.

[0055] It is understood that the embodiments of this application can use battery state training data and heating training data from electromagnetic induction devices to train a corresponding battery temperature rise model. The expression for the battery temperature rise model can be, but is not limited to, as follows: , in, Indicates the expected rate of temperature rise of the battery, in °C / s; The operating frequency of the electromagnetic induction device, in Hz; The current in an electromagnetic induction coil is expressed in amperes (A). Represents the resistivity of a battery, measured in Ω·m. This indicates the equivalent specific heat capacity of the battery, expressed in J / (kg·K). It represents the electromagnetic induction constant, which is related to the electromagnetic induction generator itself.

[0056] For example, embodiments of this application can obtain state training data of a battery under thermal runaway conditions, such as the battery's resistivity and equivalent specific heat capacity, and select the operating frequency and current of an electromagnetic induction device according to the battery type, and perform impedance matching calibration to obtain heating training data of the electromagnetic induction device. Then, based on the state training data and heating training data, a corresponding battery temperature rise model is trained to construct a battery temperature rise model.

[0057] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the present application embodiments may input heating parameters and battery state parameters into a pre-trained battery temperature rise model, thereby outputting the desired temperature rise rate of the battery.

[0058] In step S203, an adjustment value for at least one heating parameter is calculated based on the difference between the desired temperature rise rate and the actual temperature rise rate. The battery under test is then heated according to the adjusted at least one heating parameter until the battery under test meets the preset thermal runaway conditions, so as to obtain the thermal runaway test results of the battery under test.

[0059] It is understood that the actual temperature rise rate in the embodiments of this application is maintained near the expected temperature rise rate. That is, when the difference between the expected temperature rise rate and the actual temperature rise rate is greater than a certain threshold, the heating parameters of the electromagnetic induction device need to be adjusted.

[0060] As one possible implementation, embodiments of this application can calculate an adjustment value for the heating parameters based on the difference between the desired temperature rise rate and the actual temperature rise rate, adjust the heating parameters according to the adjustment value, and heat the battery under test according to the adjusted heating parameters until the battery under test meets certain thermal runaway conditions, and record the thermal runaway test results of the battery under test under thermal runaway conditions. The certain thermal runaway conditions can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0061] For example, in combination Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the corresponding electromagnetic induction experimental device is activated to heat the lithium-ion battery. During the heating process, the actual temperature rise rate of the lithium-ion battery is obtained by monitoring the battery temperature in real time. The current and operating frequency of the electromagnetic induction device are dynamically adjusted by the control system to ensure that the actual temperature rise rate is stable near the expected temperature rise rate. The battery temperature, voltage and current are continuously recorded for subsequent analysis.

[0062] Furthermore, embodiments of this application can employ multi-parameter criteria (such as referring to the requirements of GB38031-2025 standard, which are not specifically limited here) to shut down the induction heating system when a lithium-ion battery experiences thermal runaway, while continuing to monitor the lithium-ion battery until certain thermal runaway conditions are met, such as the termination of the thermal runaway state, thus obtaining the corresponding thermal runaway test results. The curve of the actual temperature rise rate during the battery's electromagnetic induction thermal runaway process is shown below. Figure 3 As shown.

[0063] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, calculating an adjustment value for at least one heating parameter based on the difference between the desired temperature rise rate and the actual temperature rise rate includes: determining whether the difference is greater than a preset threshold; if the difference is greater than the preset threshold, calculating an adjustment value based on the difference; if the difference is less than or equal to the preset threshold, determining the adjustment value as a target value.

[0064] In some embodiments, when calculating the adjustment value of the heating parameters, this application can first determine whether the difference is greater than a certain threshold. If it is, the adjustment value is calculated based on the difference between the expected temperature rise rate and the actual temperature rise rate; otherwise, the adjustment value is set to the target value, such as 0. This application does not impose specific limitations. The certain threshold can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0065] For example, in this application embodiment, when the difference between the expected temperature rise rate and the actual temperature rise rate is small (less than or equal to a certain threshold), it is determined that the heating parameter does not need to be adjusted, and the adjustment value is set to 0; when the difference is large (greater than a certain threshold), it is determined that the heating parameter needs to be adjusted, and the corresponding adjustment value is calculated based on the difference.

[0066] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, calculating an adjustment value for at least one heating parameter based on the difference between the desired temperature rise rate and the actual temperature rise rate includes: determining a target adjustment parameter for at least one heating parameter based on the desired temperature rise rate and the actual temperature rise rate; and calculating the adjustment value of the target adjustment parameter based on the difference.

[0067] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, the current is directly related to the power and has a linear or square relationship with the temperature rise rate. The temperature rise can be changed quickly by adjusting the current, but the current capacity limit of the equipment must be considered. The frequency affects iron loss (such as eddy current loss, hysteresis loss, etc.) or capacitor charging and discharging frequency. The efficiency or stability of the system (such as motor speed, harmonics, etc.) can be changed by adjusting the frequency.

[0068] Furthermore, in some embodiments, if the actual temperature rise rate is less than the expected temperature rise rate, and the system losses are mainly current-related (such as resistance heating), then the current is increased first, i.e., the target adjustment parameter is determined to be current; if frequency-related losses (such as iron loss) are dominant, or if current overload needs to be avoided, then the frequency is adjusted, i.e., the target adjustment parameter is determined to be frequency.

[0069] Therefore, in this embodiment of the application, the adjustment value of the target adjustment parameter can be calculated from the difference between the expected temperature rise rate and the actual temperature rise rate.

[0070] Optionally, in one embodiment of this application, after heating the battery under test, the method further includes: collecting thermal runaway parameters of the battery under test; and identifying the actual state of the battery under test based on the thermal runaway parameters.

[0071] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, thermal runaway parameters may include, but are not limited to, changes in temperature, voltage and current of the battery when it is in a thermal runaway state, as well as possible thermal runaway characteristics (such as smoke, flames, etc.), etc., and this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0072] In some embodiments, the present application embodiments can continue to monitor the thermal runaway parameters of the battery under test during the thermal runaway process, such as changes in temperature, voltage and current, as well as possible thermal runaway characteristics (such as smoke, flame, etc.), and determine whether the battery under test meets certain thermal runaway conditions, such as the conditions for ending the thermal runaway state, based on the thermal runaway parameters, and determine the actual state of the battery under test when the conditions for ending the thermal runaway state are met.

[0073] The working principle of the thermal runaway test method for batteries proposed in this application will be introduced below with reference to a specific embodiment.

[0074] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the working principle of a thermal runaway testing method for a battery according to an embodiment of this application.

[0075] In this application embodiment, the following is utilized Figure 1 The electromagnetic induction experimental setup shown is used to test the thermal runaway of a cylindrical lithium battery. Its main components include: preparation of the electromagnetic induction experimental setup, parameter settings and initial conditions, heating and temperature rise rate control, and thermal runaway triggering and monitoring.

[0076] (1) Preparation of the electromagnetic induction experimental setup includes: Step S401: Fix the cylindrical lithium battery and place it at the center of the coil of the electromagnetic induction experimental device.

[0077] Step S402: Deploy voltage sensors and infrared thermal imagers to monitor voltage and temperature in real time.

[0078] Step S403: Through the adjustable frequency AC power supply and control system, ensure that the power supply adjusts the output parameters in real time according to the feedback signal.

[0079] (2) Parameter settings and initial conditions include: Step S404: Calculate the desired temperature rise rate based on the battery type, specifications, certain thermal runaway conditions, equivalent specific heat capacity, and resistivity, and use it as the control target.

[0080] Step S405: Set the initial operating frequency and current of the electromagnetic induction experimental device.

[0081] In this embodiment, the cylindrical lithium battery has a capacity of 2600mAh and a full-charge voltage of 4.17V. The electromagnetic induction constant of the electromagnetic induction experimental device is assumed to be... The resistivity of the battery is 0.01. Let be a constant, taking a value of 0.005 Ω·m, representing the equivalent specific heat capacity of the battery. The value is 1000 J / (kg·K), and the operating frequency of the electromagnetic induction device is... At 500Hz, the desired temperature rise rate The current of the electromagnetic induction coil is 2°C / s, and then the battery temperature rise model is used to obtain the current. It is 4.47A.

[0082] (3) Heating and temperature rise rate control includes: Step S406: Start the device to heat the sample, and adjust the operating frequency and current through the monitoring and control feedback system to ensure that the actual temperature rise rate of the battery is stable near the expected temperature rise rate.

[0083] Step S407: During the heating process, continuously record the battery's temperature, voltage, current, etc.

[0084] In this embodiment of the application, after heating is started, the temperature change of the battery surface is monitored in real time, and the current and frequency of the electromagnetic induction experimental device are dynamically adjusted through the feedback control system to ensure that the actual temperature rise rate of the battery is stable at 2°C / s.

[0085] (4) Thermal runaway triggering and monitoring include: Step S408: When thermal runaway occurs, shut down the induction heating system.

[0086] Step S409: Record the temperature, voltage and current changes during the thermal runaway process, as well as possible thermal runaway characteristics such as smoke and flames.

[0087] Step S410: Continuously monitor the battery status until certain thermal runaway conditions are met.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the internal temperature of the battery reaches 150°C, thermal runaway begins, manifested as a sharp drop in voltage to near 0V. Heating is then stopped, and the temperature rapidly rises to over 700°C. The battery's temperature, voltage, and current changes are continuously recorded, and changes in the battery's surface appearance, such as smoke generation and flame ejection, are observed. Based on the desired temperature rise rate, a standardized k-value calibration procedure and an intelligent dynamic control strategy are employed to achieve high-precision temperature rise rate control of the battery surface. This method is suitable for safety performance evaluation of various lithium batteries and has outstanding advantages such as precise control, safety, high efficiency, and wide applicability, providing a reliable testing method for lithium battery safety research.

[0089] The thermal runaway testing method for batteries proposed in this application can determine the heating parameters of the corresponding electromagnetic induction device based on the battery state parameters of the battery under test, thereby generating the expected temperature rise rate of the battery under test. The adjustment value of the heating parameters is calculated based on the difference between the expected and actual temperature rise rates, thus heating the battery under test until certain thermal runaway conditions are met, obtaining the thermal runaway test results. Dynamic parameter matching accurately simulates real-world abuse scenarios, improving test reliability and making the test results closer to the actual thermal runaway boundary. Real-time feedback correction forms a closed-loop control, improving test efficiency and safety. Precise parameter adjustment reduces invalid test times, lowers sample and equipment wear, supports diverse testing needs, and is highly adaptable, achieving multi-scenario coverage. This solves the problems in related technologies, such as needle penetration damaging the battery structure and poor repeatability; overcharging requiring additional energy input and failing to reflect real-world thermal runaway scenarios; low external heating efficiency and poor heat distribution uniformity, making it difficult to achieve precise control and uniform heating of the battery interior, and lacking universality.
