Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0035] The collision energy method for power batteries provided in this application can be applied to vehicles. Vehicles can also be referred to as vehicles, mobile carriers, electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), autonomous vehicles, intelligent and connected vehicles (ICVs), driverless vehicles, etc.

This application does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a system for calculating and determining the collision energy of a power battery is shown. The system may include a collision energy determination device 101, a sensor 102, and a power battery 103.

[0038] Figure 1 A communication connection can be established between the collision energy determination device 101 of the power battery 103 and the sensor 102. The sensor 102 can be deployed with the power battery 103. There can be at least two sensors 102.

[0039] Optionally, the number of sensors 102 can be at least two. For example, the number of sensors 102 can be six or eight. This application does not impose a specific limitation in this regard.

[0040] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, three sensors 102 (a total of six) are arranged at the bottom of the outer casing on both the left and right sides of the power battery, and are linearly distributed to collect vibration signals generated at the moment of collision.

[0041] In practical applications, the collision energy determination device 101 of the power battery can be communicatively connected with one or more sensors 102.

[0042] Optional, Figure 1 The collision energy determination device 101 and sensor 102 of the power battery can be functional modules integrated into the same device, or they can be independently set devices. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0043] It is easy to understand that when the collision energy determination device 101 and the sensor 102 of the power battery are functional modules integrated within the same device, the communication method between the collision energy determination device 101 and the sensor 102 of the power battery is the same as the communication method between modules within the device. In this case, the communication process between the two is the same as the communication process when the collision energy determination device 101 and the sensor 102 of the power battery are set up independently.

[0044] For ease of understanding, this application mainly uses the example of the independent configuration of the collision energy determination device 101 and the sensor 102 of the power battery.

[0045] Figure 1 The sensor 102 in the middle can respond to the collision of the power battery, collect the collision wave signal generated by the collision, and send the collision wave signal to the collision energy determination device 101 of the power battery.

[0046] The collision energy determination device 101 for a power battery can determine the energy characteristics and peak energy time of at least two sensors based on the collision wave signal, and then determine the collision energy of the power battery based on the energy characteristics and peak energy time.

[0047] Optionally, Figure 1 The collision energy determination device 101 for the power battery can be deployed on a terminal, a server, or other types of electronic devices. Figure 1 The diagram shown is merely an example of the device configuration of the collision energy determination device 101 for the power battery and does not constitute a limitation thereof.

[0048] When the collision energy determination device 101 for the power battery is deployed in a terminal, the terminal can be a device providing voice and / or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connectivity, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem. The terminal can communicate with one or more core networks via a radio access network (RAN).

[0049] When the collision energy determination device 101 for the power battery is deployed on a server, the server can be a single server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers. In some embodiments, the server cluster can also be a distributed cluster. This application does not impose any limitations in this regard.

[0050] It should be noted that the structures illustrated in the embodiments of this application do not constitute a limitation on the determination of the collision energy of the power battery. It may include more or fewer components than illustrated, or combine some components, or split some components, or have different component arrangements. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0051] Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for determining the collision energy of a power battery according to an exemplary embodiment. The entity executing this method may be... Figure 1 The collision energy determination device 101 of the power battery in the middle, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method for determining the collision energy of the power battery includes the following steps: S301-S303.

[0052] S301, In response to a collision with the power battery, acquire collision wave signals collected by at least two sensors.

[0053] At least two sensors are deployed at different locations on the power battery.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the battery may be impacted or collided with by an external object or scraped against the chassis during vehicle use. Sensors deployed on the battery can collect vibration signals from the battery in real time.

[0055] For example, when a vehicle is traveling at high speed, stones kicked up by the tires can hit the bottom or side of the power battery at high speed, generating an instantaneous shock wave. When a vehicle passes over potholes or speed bumps, the power battery collides with ground protrusions (such as stones or the edge of manhole covers), causing continuous low-frequency vibrations.

[0056] Furthermore, the aforementioned execution entity can, in response to a collision with the power battery, acquire collision wave signals collected by at least two sensors and preprocess the collision wave signals collected by at least two sensors.

[0057] Specifically, the aforementioned execution entity can perform detrending and bandpass filtering on each collision wave signal to filter out collision wave signals outside the preset frequency band, that is, to filter out noise caused by low-frequency vibration of the vehicle body and high-frequency noise.

[0058] For example, the preset frequency band can be from 50 Hz to 2000 Hz.

[0059] S302. Based on the collision wave signal, determine the energy characteristics and energy peak time corresponding to at least two sensors.

[0060] Among them, energy characteristics include integral energy.

[0061] In one possible implementation, the process of determining the integral energy corresponding to at least two sensors includes: The aforementioned execution entity can determine the power spectral density corresponding to the collision wave signal collected by the target sensor among at least two sensors, and then extract the integrated energy in the preset frequency band from the power spectral density.

[0062] For example, the aforementioned execution entity can perform Fourier transform or Welch method on the collision wave signal collected by the target sensor to determine the power spectral density corresponding to the collision wave signal collected by the target sensor, and extract the integrated energy within the preset frequency band to form an energy feature vector E=[E1,E2,…,E6].

[0063] In the example above, the energy feature vector E=[E1,E2,…,E6] is used to represent six sensors. E can be used to characterize the energy feature vector. E1,E2,…,E6 can each be used to characterize the energy feature corresponding to one sensor.

[0064] In another possible implementation, the energy characteristics may also include wavelet packet energy entropy. The aforementioned execution entity performs wavelet packet analysis on the collision wave signal collected by the target sensor to determine the wavelet packet energy entropy corresponding to the target sensor. Furthermore, the aforementioned execution entity can determine the energy characteristics based on the integrated energy and the wavelet packet energy entropy.

[0065] S303. Based on energy characteristics and energy peak time, determine the collision energy of the power battery.

[0066] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned actuator can determine the energy peak time difference between at least two sensors and the target sensor based on the energy peak time. Then, the actuator can input the energy characteristics and the energy peak time difference into an energy prediction model to determine the collision energy predicted by the energy prediction model.

[0067] The target sensor is one of at least two sensors.

[0068] For example, the aforementioned execution entity can calculate the time delay correlation of each pair of sensor signals in at least two sensors through cross-correlation analysis, select a target sensor (e.g., the sensor that detects the energy peak earliest as a reference, and determine the energy peak time of the target sensor as 0), and define the energy peak arrival time difference of other sensors relative to this reference as Δt. i Finally, an energy peak time difference vector T=[Δt1, Δt2, Δt3, Δt4, Δt5, Δt6] containing multi-dimensional relative time delay features (e.g., using six sensors) is constructed to accurately characterize the differences in the propagation path of the collision wave within the power battery structure. Then, the aforementioned execution entity can concatenate the energy peak time difference vector and the energy feature vector, and input the concatenated vector into the energy prediction model to determine the collision energy predicted by the energy prediction model.

[0069] In another possible implementation, the aforementioned executing entity can determine the collision energy based on energy characteristics, the time difference of energy peaks, and target information.

[0070] The target information includes at least one of the following: the battery temperature of the power battery and the vehicle speed of the vehicle where the power battery is located.

[0071] Specifically, the aforementioned implementing entity can input energy characteristics, energy peak time difference, deployment locations of at least two sensors, and target information into the energy prediction model to determine the collision energy predicted by the energy prediction model.

[0072] Increased battery temperature can alter the yield strength and elastic modulus of the metal casing, as well as the brittleness of the internal cell separator. For example, aluminum casings may be more prone to plastic deformation at high temperatures, leading to changes in the absorption / transfer efficiency of impact energy within the structure. Energy prediction models can dynamically correct energy characteristics (such as vibration wave velocity and damping coefficient) based on temperature input, avoiding prediction biases in conventional models under low-temperature brittleness / high-temperature ductility scenarios. Furthermore, temperature anomalies may induce internal short circuits or thermal runaway within the battery, resulting in an additional component of electrochemical energy release mixed into the impact energy. By incorporating temperature into the energy prediction model, the superposition effect of mechanical impact energy and potential thermal runaway energy can be distinguished, enabling more accurate energy source tracing.

[0073] Furthermore, the propagation characteristics of collision waves (such as high-frequency component attenuation and low-frequency vibration modes) differ at different vehicle speeds. For example, high-speed collisions may generate more high-frequency shock waves, while low-speed scrapes are dominated by low-frequency deformation. The model can dynamically adjust signal processing strategies (such as filter bandwidth and feature extraction window) based on vehicle speed to more accurately predict the magnitude of collision energy.

[0074] Furthermore, by considering the deployment locations of at least two sensors and combining the time difference of energy peaks, energy loss during energy propagation can be accurately predicted, thereby accurately predicting collision energy.

[0075] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the structure of the energy prediction model includes an input layer, hidden layer 1, hidden layer 2, and an output layer.

[0076] Optionally, the input layer may include 12 nodes. Hidden layer 1 may include 128 nodes and employ the Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function. Hidden layer 2 may include 64 nodes. The output layer may include 1 node.

[0077] In one possible implementation, the training process for the energy prediction model includes: The aforementioned implementing entity can obtain a training sample set, and then, based on the training sample set, train an energy prediction model.

[0078] The training samples in the training sample set include sample collision energy, sample energy characteristics corresponding to the sample collision energy, sample energy peak time difference, deployment locations of at least two sensors for each sample, and sample target information.

[0079] Specifically, the aforementioned execution entity can input the sample energy features, peak time differences of sample energy, sensor deployment locations, and target information from the training sample set into the hidden layer network (hidden layer 1 and hidden layer 2) through the input layer to predict collision energy. This execution entity can quantify the difference between the predicted value and the actual collision energy of the sample using the mean squared error loss function, and dynamically adjust the network weights using the Adam optimizer (with adaptive learning rate). It then iteratively optimizes the model parameters using the backpropagation algorithm until the loss converges or a preset number of training epochs are reached, ultimately generating a deep learning model with high-precision collision energy prediction capabilities.

[0080] Optionally, the content included in the training sample set can be set according to actual needs. For example, the training samples in the training sample set may also include sample collision energy, as well as the sample energy characteristics corresponding to the sample collision energy and the peak time difference of the sample energy. This application does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0081] Based on the above technical solution, this application can collect collision wave signals by using two sensors deployed at different locations of the power battery. First, the spatial difference is used to obtain the energy peak time to determine the propagation path. Then, the energy loss due to the path is analyzed. Finally, the energy characteristics of each sensor are combined to compensate and correct the attenuated energy, thereby accurately calculating the true collision energy at the initial collision point.

[0082] The foregoing mainly describes the solutions provided by the embodiments of this application from a methodological perspective. To achieve the above functions, the collision energy determination device or electronic device for the power battery includes corresponding hardware structures and / or software modules for performing each function. Those skilled in the art should readily recognize that, based on the units and algorithm steps of the various examples described in conjunction with the embodiments disclosed herein, this application can be implemented in hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in hardware or by computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered beyond the scope of this application.

[0083] This application embodiment can, based on the above method, exemplarily divide the collision energy determination device or electronic device for a power battery into functional modules. For example, the collision energy determination device or electronic device for a power battery may include functional modules corresponding to each functional division, or two or more functions may be integrated into one processing module. The integrated module can be implemented in hardware or as a software functional module. It should be noted that the module division in this application embodiment is illustrative and only represents one logical functional division; in actual implementation, there may be other division methods.
