However, they do not mean that the applicant has used or necessarily used the solution.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a capacity-sharing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the capacity-sharing method includes: In step S1, a mathematical model of the single-cell series structure is constructed.

[0021] In step S2, the potential flow relationship of the nodes is determined based on the mathematical model.

[0022] In step S3, the internal parameter values ​​of a single cell are determined based on the potential flow relationship.

[0023] In step S4, the internal parameters of each individual cell are combined into an array.

[0024] In step S5, the minimum spacing between each array is calculated to achieve hierarchical clustering.

[0025] In steps S1 to S5, a mathematical model of the battery series structure is established to quantitatively analyze the potential-current relationship of each parameter within the battery pack. Formulas for the influence of internal battery parameters on the potential-current relationship are derived. Based on the voltage and current data detected during the capacity testing process, the internal parameter values ​​of each individual battery cell are derived in reverse. The internal parameters of each individual battery cell are then combined into an array. The parameters constitute dimensional array, Each individual cell makes up Grouping arrays, ultimately forming Group The system uses a dimensional array to calculate the minimum distance between arrays according to the parameter dimension, thereby performing hierarchical clustering and ultimately realizing the capacity classification of batteries.

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, this invention only requires testing in the middle of the SOC phase, eliminating the need to determine the battery's cutoff voltage, thus simplifying data processing and enabling dynamic capacity grading. Furthermore, the capacity grading cabinet only needs to be set to constant current mode, eliminating the need for complex operating modes, thereby reducing grading time and cost.

[0027] In this embodiment, the methods for constructing the mathematical model can be various and known to those skilled in the art. In one example of the present invention, the steps for constructing the mathematical model can be... Figure 2 The method shown is illustrated. Figure 2 The capacity-sharing method also includes: In step S11, multiple individual cells are connected in series.

[0028] In step S12, node 1 represents an equicurrent node, node 0 represents an equipotential node, and the arrow connected to the node represents a key.

[0029] In step S13, a single cell contains six bonds, each of which contains two variables: voltage and current.

[0030] In step S14, when there is a vertical line between the key and the connected node, it indicates that the key provides voltage to the connected node.

[0031] In step S15, when there are no vertical lines between the key and the connected node, it indicates that the key provides current to the connected node.

[0032] In steps S11 to S15, a mathematical model of the series battery structure was constructed. For example... Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, "1" represents an equipotential node, "0" represents an equipotential node, and the arrows connecting the nodes represent "bonds." A series-connected battery consists of six bonds: (1-1), (1-2), ..., (1-6). Each bond contains two variables: voltage and current. For example, the voltage and current of bond (1-1) are... and The voltage and current of keys (1-2) are respectively and Similarly, the voltage and current of keys (1-6) are respectively and The direction of the arrow indicates the reference direction of voltage and current.

[0033] Specifically, when a key and its connected node have a vertical line, it indicates that the key provides voltage to the connected node; when a key and its connected node do not have a vertical line, it indicates that the key provides current to the connected node. Taking the leftmost node "1" as an example, the keys connected to it are (1-1), (1-2), (1-3), and (1-6). Among them, key (1-6) has no vertical line connected to this node, so key (1-6) provides current to this node, while the other keys provide voltage to this node.

[0034] In this invention, let there be a total If batteries are connected in series, the bonds of the 2nd to Nth batteries and the voltage and current on each bond can also be determined.

[0035] In this implementation, since node "1" represents an equicurrent node, the current on all bonds connected to this node is equal, and the vector sum of the voltages is 0. Taking the leftmost node "1" as an example, specifically, as follows... Figure 4 As shown, determining the potential flow relationship at a node based on a mathematical model can include: In step S21, the current-voltage relationship at node 1 of the mathematical model is determined according to formula (1).

[0036] In this implementation, since the "0" node represents an equipotential node, the voltages on all bonds connected to this node are equal, and the vector sum of the currents is 0. Taking the leftmost "0" node as an example, ... Figure 4 As shown, determining the potential flow relationship at a node based on a mathematical model can include: In step S22, the current-voltage relationship at node 0 of the mathematical model is determined according to formula (2). (2) in, For single cell battery key The current, For single cell battery key The current, For single cell battery key voltage, For single cell battery key The voltage.

[0037] After deriving the formula for the influence of battery internal parameters on the potential-current relationship, the internal parameter values ​​of each individual cell are derived in reverse based on the voltage and current data detected during the capacity testing process. Figure 3 middle, ~ for Open-circuit voltage of a single cell ~ For an individual The ohmic internal resistance of a single cell, ~ for The polarization internal resistance of a single cell, ~ for The polarization capacitor of a single cell. The charging and discharging current provided to the capacity testing cabinet operating in constant current mode is constant; therefore, the capacity testing cabinet only needs to be set to constant current mode. Specifically, for the first single cell, the method for obtaining the internal parameter values ​​of that single cell can be... Figure 5 The method shown is illustrated. Figure 5 The capacity-sharing method also includes: In step S31, the current-voltage relationship of a single cell is determined according to formula (3). (4) in, This is the open-circuit voltage of the first individual cell. The charging and discharging voltage provided for the capacity divider operating in constant voltage mode, and this voltage value is constant. The ohmic internal resistance of the first single cell. The polarization internal resistance of the first single cell. The polarization capacitor for the first single cell; In step S32, the internal parameter values ​​of the battery are determined according to formula (4). (4) in, The charging and discharging current provided for the capacity distribution cabinet. For the terminal voltage of a single cell, Given a constant current source, both are known quantities. It can be measured in an open circuit and is a known quantity; therefore, the only unknown quantity is the battery parameter. , and Therefore, given The internal parameters of the battery can be derived by using three different constant current values.

[0038] After obtaining the internal parameter values ​​of the battery, the internal parameters of each individual battery cell are combined into an array, i.e. The parameters constitute dimensional array, Each individual cell makes up Grouping arrays, ultimately forming Group The dimensional array can be obtained from the above calculations. Then it can be expressed according to formula (6). Group dimensional array, (6) in, The internal resistance of the second individual cell is ohmic. The polarization internal resistance of the second individual cell. For the polarization capacitor of the second single cell, For the first The ohmic internal resistance of a single cell, For the first The polarization internal resistance of a single cell, For the first The polarization capacitor of a single cell.

[0039] After obtaining the array, hierarchical clustering is performed based on the array. Specifically, it could be... Figure 6 The method shown is illustrated. Figure 6 The capacity-sharing method also includes: In step S51, the array of each individual battery cell is treated as a class.

[0040] In step S52, the minimum distance between each class is calculated. Specifically, calculating the minimum distance between each class includes: Calculate the minimum distance between each class according to formula (5).

[0042] In step S53, the two classes with the closest distance are merged into a new class based on the minimum distance, and the average value of the arrays corresponding to the two classes is obtained as the array of the new class.

[0043] In step S54, the minimum distance between the new class and other classes is calculated.

[0044] In step S55, it is determined whether the minimum distance is greater than a preset threshold. If the minimum distance is greater than the preset threshold, step S56 is executed; otherwise, step S53 is executed.

[0045] In step S56, it is determined that hierarchical clustering is complete.

[0046] In steps S51 to S56, the distance is The two arrays are merged into a new class. The minimum distance between the other arrays and the corresponding new array of the new class is calculated using formula (6) until the distance is reached. Once the set upper limit is exceeded, hierarchical clustering can be completed. At this point, the batteries corresponding to the clustered array can also be classified into the same category, thereby realizing battery capacity classification.

[0047] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a battery series capacity grading system, the system including a processor for executing any of the capacity grading methods described above.

[0048] In another aspect, the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for being read by a machine to cause the machine to perform any of the above-described capacity partitioning methods.
