AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies cannot accurately detect and provide timely warnings of thermal runaway in lithium batteries within milliseconds, causing thermal runaway to spread throughout the entire battery pack and triggering safety accidents.

Method used

An optical detection method is used to monitor the aerosols released in the early stage of thermal runaway of lithium batteries by emitting light through a light source and capturing the changes in diffuse reflection light intensity of aerosols using a light signal receiver. A directional reflection light path is constructed by combining a hyperboloid mirror system to achieve millisecond-level real-time response.

Benefits of technology

It significantly advances the warning time window, reduces false alarm rate, simplifies system structure, reduces maintenance costs, achieves millisecond-level real-time response, and improves battery system safety.

Abstract

本实用新型涉及热失控检测技术领域,本实用新型提供一种热失控报警装置,用于检测电池包内锂电池热失控状态。装置包括光源和至少一个光信号接收器,接收器与光源位于同一无阻挡空间内且避让光源直射光路。当电池热失控初期释放气溶胶颗粒时,光线在气溶胶表面发生漫反射,导致避让光路的接收器检测到散射光强度显著增强,经信号处理触发报警。针对热失控最早期的气溶胶特征产物(早于明火及温升)实现毫秒级检测,为防护措施争取关键时间窗口。仅需优化光源与接收器空间布局,无需复杂气路或采样系统,显著降低维护成本。该方案通过光学原理创新解决了传统热失控检测滞后性高、误报率大的行业痛点,为动力电池安全提供前置化保障。
