BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0021] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the lithium battery workshop micro-environment control system of the embodiment of the utility model.

[0022] Figure 2 This is a control flowchart of the temperature and humidity sensor and controller in the microenvironment management system of the lithium battery workshop according to Embodiment 1 of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a microenvironment control system for a lithium battery workshop, including a production workshop 1, a clean panel 2, an air supply duct 3, a return air duct 4, power equipment (not shown), a temperature and humidity sensor (not shown), and a controller (not shown).

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the entire production workshop 1 is divided into three zones according to temperature and humidity requirements using cleanroom panels 2: a low-controlled zone (temperature 25±3℃, relative humidity above 65%), a high-controlled zone (temperature 25±3℃, relative humidity 45%-65%), and an ultra-high-controlled zone (temperature 25±3℃ or 45±3℃, relative humidity below 45%). Microenvironmental control boundaries are established between the high-controlled and ultra-high-controlled zones, and between the low-controlled and high-controlled zones. These microenvironmental boundaries are formed by cleanroom panels of a certain thickness. Each area requiring control is enclosed by cleanroom panels to form an independent control zone. The microenvironment is designed by laying corresponding supply air ducts 3 and return air ducts 4 in different control zones. The duct channels are connected to suitable power equipment. Each supply air duct 3 and return air duct 4 is connected to the output and input ends of each power equipment to form a circulation. The input end of the power equipment is also connected to the air. The air supplied by the supply air duct 3 includes the return air and air from the return air duct 4, which can ensure positive pressure in each control zone. Air outlet filters are installed at the connection between the supply air duct 3, return air duct 4 and clean panel 2. Primary air outlet filters 5 are installed in the corresponding low control zone, and intermediate air outlet filters 6 are installed in the high control zone and ultra-high control zone.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the power equipment includes air source heat pump and jet unit, air conditioning box and dehumidifier, because the required temperature and humidity in each micro environment are different, the selected power equipment is also different; when the temperature in the control area is 25±3℃ and the relative humidity is above 65%(low dew point), the air source heat pump and jet unit are preferably used for environment control; when the temperature in the control area is 25±3℃ and the relative humidity is 45%-65%, the air conditioning box is preferably used for environment control; when the temperature in the control area is 25±3℃ or 45±3℃ and the relative humidity is below 45%(high dew point), the dehumidifier is preferably used for environment control; the correspondence between dew point and relative humidity is prior art; the selection of power equipment is reasonably adjusted, and the input of production line operation cost is reduced as much as possible from the equipment selection end.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2 The low control area, the high control area and the ultra-high control area are provided with temperature and humidity sensors, and a plurality of temperature and humidity sensors are arranged in each control area in the embodiment, the temperature and humidity sensors are electrically connected with the controller, the controller is electrically connected with each power equipment, the signals are sent to the controller of each control area (not shown in the figure) through the temperature and humidity sensors to implement feedback adjustment of control, in this micro environment control system, the data of each automatic power equipment is collected on the unified integrated platform, and the real-time temperature and humidity conditions in each micro environment control area can be seen on the data integration panel, and the data collection and display are prior art; the integration of the system facilitates data collection and mobilization, and greatly improves the operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0029] For example, the dew point requirement of the post-process section such as liquid injection and high-temperature formation workshop of lithium battery production is extremely high, and the dew point requirement even reaches-60℃ to-70℃, and the corresponding double-rotor dehumidifier is used for environment control, and the energy consumption of the dehumidifier in this section is relatively high, and the production of batteries in the liquid injection and high-temperature formation workshops is almost on the corresponding battery cell production equipment and the logistics line, if only the micro environment control of the battery cell production equipment and the battery passing logistics line is good, that is, the space in the workshop (accounting for a large part of the space) is set as a low control area or a high control area, because the whole space does not affect the battery production, only the personnel and materials are in and out, the air conditioning unit or the high-dew-point dehumidifier can be used for control, and the energy consumption is relatively low; from this application case, it can also be clearly seen that the liquid injection and high-temperature formation workshops are divided into control areas, the space of the high control area is greatly compressed, the space of the low control area is increased, the unnecessary energy consumption is reduced, and the production cost input is greatly reduced.

[0030] For example, in the normal temperature standing, capacity grading, encapsulation grading and other areas of lithium battery production, these areas are generally taken as a whole large control area, the temperature is 25±3℃, the humidity requirement is 65%, air source heat pump and jet unit are generally used for control, although the whole control operation is relatively convenient, but from the energy consumption aspect, it is not conducive to energy saving and consumption reduction; because the whole area space is large, the number of air source heat pump and jet unit configured is also large, if only the normal temperature standing area is needed to be used or not all the area is used, but all the air source heat pump and jet unit corresponding to the area need to be started, so the phenomenon of excessive energy consumption waste exists, if these areas are all made into respective micro environment for control according to the application, independent and efficient control can be realized, the air source heat pump and jet unit corresponding to the micro environment control area can also be selected to be started or closed according to the production demand; from this aspect, it can also be found that the micro environment control has great benefits for production line production investment and operation, it belongs to one-time investment and lifelong benefit; in order to facilitate the real-time control of each micro environment area and reduce the control operation workload, the micro environment control can be integrated in a system through power equipment, the equipment management system is made into integrated management, which is more convenient for the collection, integration and mobilization of each equipment data, and the operation and maintenance efficiency is greatly improved.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
