Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage product development technology, and more specifically, to a battery cell simulation device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the development of energy storage products in China, a complete energy storage product often consists of multiple battery packs and control units.

[0003] During the development process, the high cost of the battery pack itself leads to a large development cost for energy storage products; moreover, the battery pack is heavy and occupies a lot of space, which has several drawbacks in actual experimental operation environments.

[0004] In practical use, since different energy storage products have different numbers of battery cells in series, it would be too costly to develop each energy storage product with a corresponding number of battery packs for testing, and the time required to build the experimental environment would be too long. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a battery cell simulation device that can overcome some or all of the defects of the prior art.

[0006] A battery cell simulation device according to the present invention includes:

[0007] The battery cell board has multiple battery slots connected in series to form a battery slot string. One end of the battery slot string is electrically connected to a positive terminal interface located on the battery cell board, and the other end is electrically connected to a negative terminal interface located on the battery cell board. The battery cell board also has an electrical sampling integrated interface with multiple electrical sampling terminal pairs, each corresponding to a battery slot and a battery slot string.

[0008] Among them, multiple battery cell boards can be connected in series using the positive and negative interfaces on the battery cell board. When the stored energy of the battery cell board drops to the lower limit, the positive and negative interfaces on the battery cell board can be used to connect a power source to charge the battery cell board. Therefore, it is possible to better realize energy storage products with different total voltages, saving costs and shortening the cycle of obtaining the required energy storage products.

[0009] Preferably, the electrical sampling terminal pair has two electrical sampling terminals corresponding to the positive and negative terminals of the battery slot or battery string, respectively, and a first protection resistor is electrically connected between the electrical sampling terminal and the battery slot or battery string.

[0010] Based on the above, the use of the first protective resistor to provide short-circuit protection for the battery cells loaded in the battery compartment improves the safety of the battery cell simulation device during use.

[0011] Preferably, the battery cell board is also provided with multiple thermistors and temperature sampling integrated interfaces corresponding to the multiple thermistors. The temperature sampling integrated interface is integrated with multiple temperature sampling terminal pairs, and the multiple temperature sampling terminal pairs correspond to the multiple thermistors respectively.

[0012] Based on the above, by using a thermistor to sense the temperature of the battery cell and change its resistance, the battery cell temperature can be simulated and sampled more effectively.

[0013] Preferably, one or more of the battery slots are provided with conductive solder joints at the positive or negative terminals, and the conductive solder joints are electrically connected to the corresponding positive or negative terminals.

[0014] Based on the above, it is possible to achieve better series connection between battery slots to form a battery slot string.

[0015] Preferably, the number of battery slots is 16, and the battery slots are used to hold 18650 battery cells. This helps to save costs.

[0016] Preferably, banana plugs are used for both the positive and negative terminals. This facilitates the series connection between battery cell boards and the connection of power supplies.

[0017] The battery cell simulation device of this utility model also includes a chassis, which has multiple card slots for cooperating with battery cell circuit boards.

[0018] Based on the above, different numbers of battery cell boards can be configured according to different energy storage products using the board slots, thus making it relatively easy to obtain battery cell simulation devices with different total voltages.

[0019] As a preferred option, a 6U chassis is used. This facilitates the construction of the battery cell simulation device.

[0020] Furthermore, the battery cell simulation device of this invention also includes a 0-ohm resistor disposed on the battery cell board corresponding to the four adjacent series-connected battery slots. The 0-ohm resistor is used to adjust the number of battery cells in series on the battery cell board. Therefore, it is possible to conveniently obtain the battery cell board corresponding to the required total voltage. Attached Figure Description

[0027] A battery cell board 100 is provided, and multiple battery slots 110 are arranged in series at the battery cell board 100 to form a battery slot string. One end of the battery slot string is electrically connected to a positive terminal interface 121 provided at the battery cell board 100, and the other end of the battery slot string is electrically connected to a negative terminal interface 122 provided at the battery cell board 100. The battery cell board 100 is also provided with an electrical sampling integrated interface 130, which integrates multiple electrical sampling terminal pairs, each of which corresponds to each battery slot 110 and the battery slot string.

[0028] Multiple battery cell boards 100 can be connected in series using the positive interface 121 and negative interface 122 on the battery cell board 100. When the stored energy of the battery cell board 100 drops to the lower limit, the positive interface 121 and negative interface 122 on the battery cell board 100 can be used to connect to a power source to charge the battery cell board 100. Therefore, it is possible to better realize energy storage products with different total voltages, saving costs and shortening the cycle of obtaining the required energy storage products.

[0029] In a battery cell simulation device of this embodiment, the electrical sampling terminal pair has two electrical sampling terminals corresponding to the positive and negative terminals of the battery slot or battery slot string, respectively. A first protection resistor is electrically connected between the electrical sampling terminals and the battery slot or battery slot string.

[0030] Based on the above, the use of the first protective resistor to provide short-circuit protection for the battery cells loaded in the battery compartment improves the safety of the battery cell simulation device during use.

[0031] Seen in Figure 2 The battery cell board 100 is also provided with multiple thermistors and a temperature sampling integrated interface 140 corresponding to the multiple thermistors. The temperature sampling integrated interface 140 is integrated with multiple temperature sampling terminal pairs, and the multiple temperature sampling terminal pairs are respectively corresponding to the multiple thermistors.

[0032] Based on the above, by using a thermistor to sense the temperature of the battery cell and change its resistance, the battery cell temperature can be simulated and sampled more effectively.

[0033] In a battery cell simulation device of this embodiment, one or more of the above-mentioned battery slots 110 are provided with conductive soldering points at the positive or negative terminals, and the conductive soldering points are electrically connected to the corresponding positive terminal interface 121 or negative terminal interface 123.

[0034] Based on the above, the battery slots 110 can be connected in series to form a battery slot string.

[0035] In this embodiment of the battery cell simulation device, the number of the aforementioned battery slots 110 is 16, and the battery slots (110) are used to load 18650 battery cells. Therefore, it is beneficial to save costs.

[0036] In this embodiment of the battery cell simulation device, the positive interface 121 and the negative interface 122 adopt banana plugs. This facilitates the series connection between battery cell boards 100 and the access to power.

[0037] Seen in Figure 3 In this embodiment of the battery cell simulation device, a chassis 200 is also included, which has a plurality of board slots 210 for cooperating with the battery cell board 100.

[0038] Based on the above, the number of cell boards 100 can be configured according to different energy storage products using the board slot 210, thus making it easier to obtain cell simulation devices with different total voltages.

[0039] Seen in Figure 4 The chassis 200 uses a 6U chassis, which facilitates the construction of a battery cell simulation device.

[0040] Furthermore, the cell simulation device of this embodiment also includes a 0-ohm resistor disposed on the cell board 100 corresponding to four adjacent series-connected battery slots 110. The 0-ohm resistor is used to adjust the number of cells in series on the cell board 100. Therefore, the cell board 100 corresponding to the required total voltage can be obtained more conveniently.

[0041] In practical use, the battery cell simulation device of this embodiment configures the battery cell board 100 according to the required total voltage, then samples the voltage of the configured energy storage product through the electrical sampling integrated interface 130 at the battery cell board 100, and simultaneously samples the battery cell temperature through the temperature sampling integrated interface 140 at the battery cell board 100. Therefore, it is possible to conveniently obtain various data of the configured energy storage product.
