Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a battery pack and a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-113803 (Patent Document 1) discloses that in a solid-state battery that uses a sulfur-based material for at least one of the positive electrode, negative electrode, and solid electrolyte, a hydrogen sulfide harmless agent is provided in a recess provided in a battery case (housing).

[0003] Patent Document 1 describes how hydrogen sulfide generated from an all-solid-state battery is absorbed by a hydrogen sulfide harmless agent and rendered harmless. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2011-113803 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] There is a limit to the amount of hydrogen sulfide absorbed (adsorbed) by the hydrogen sulfide harmless agent. For this reason, it is preferable to detect when the hydrogen sulfide adsorption amount of the hydrogen sulfide harmless agent has reached saturation or is likely to reach saturation. However, Patent Document 1 does not mention this point.

[0006] An object of the present disclosure is to make it possible to detect when a desulfurizing agent that adsorbs (absorbs) hydrogen sulfide has reached saturation in the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed, or when there is a possibility that the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed will reach saturation. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] (1) A battery pack disclosed herein includes a battery comprising a sulfide-based all-solid-state battery housed in a battery case, a communication passage connecting the inside and outside of the battery case, a desulfurizing agent provided in the communication passage for adsorbing hydrogen sulfide, and a hydrogen sulfide sensor provided in the communication passage for detecting hydrogen sulfide.

[0008] According to this configuration, the battery is composed of a sulfide-based all-solid-state battery. In the present disclosure, a sulfide-based all-solid-state battery is one that contains a sulfur component in at least one of the positive electrode material and the solid electrolyte material. When the sulfur component contained in the sulfide-based all-solid-state battery reacts with moisture, hydrogen sulfide is generated. When air containing hydrogen sulfide inside the battery case is discharged to the outside through the communication passage, the hydrogen sulfide is purified (adsorbed) by the desulfurizing agent. This makes it possible to suppress the hydrogen sulfide from being released to the outside of the battery case.

[0009] A hydrogen sulfide sensor is provided in the communication passage. Based on the hydrogen sulfide in the communication passage detected by the hydrogen sulfide sensor, it is possible to detect whether the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed by the desulfurizing agent has reached saturation or is likely to reach saturation.

[0010] (2) The hydrogen sulfide sensor may be provided in the communication passage on the outside side of the battery case relative to the desulfurizing agent.

[0011] According to this configuration, the hydrogen sulfide sensor is provided in the connecting passage on the outside of the battery case relative to the desulfurizing agent, so that when there is a possibility that the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed by the desulfurizing agent has reached saturation, hydrogen sulfide is detected by the hydrogen sulfide sensor.

[0012] (3) The communication passage may include a narrow passage portion having a flow passage cross-sectional area smaller than other portions, and the hydrogen sulfide sensor may be provided in the narrow passage portion.

[0013] Hydrogen sulfide is heavier than air (has a higher specific gravity than air) and tends to accumulate on the bottom (vertically downward) side of the communicating passage, so its concentration can vary within the communicating passage. With this configuration, in the narrow passage portion, where the flow path cross-sectional area is smaller than other portions, there is a high possibility that the variation in hydrogen sulfide concentration will be small, so hydrogen sulfide can be detected more reliably.

[0014] (4) The communicating passage may include a first desulfurization unit having a desulfurization agent, a second desulfurization unit having a desulfurization agent, and a connecting pipe connecting the first desulfurization unit and the second desulfurization unit, and the first desulfurization unit may be positioned closer to the outside of the battery case than the second desulfurization unit.

[0015] The air containing hydrogen sulfide in the battery case passes through the second desulfurization unit and then flows into the first inflow unit. With this configuration, the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed in the second desulfurization unit becomes saturated first, so that only the second desulfurization unit needs to be replaced as necessary.

[0016] (5) A vehicle according to the present disclosure includes the battery pack according to any one of (1) to (4) above, and a control device. The control device is configured to issue a notification when the detected value of the hydrogen sulfide sensor satisfies a predetermined condition.

[0017] According to this configuration, for example, when the detection value of the hydrogen sulfide sensor satisfies a condition in which the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorption in the desulfurization agent is saturated, or satisfies a condition in which saturation is likely to occur, a notification can be issued to prompt the user to replace the desulfurization agent. Effect of the Invention

[0018] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to detect whether the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed by a desulfurizing agent that adsorbs (absorbs) hydrogen sulfide has reached saturation or is likely to reach saturation. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference characters, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

[0021] <Embodiment 1> 1 is a diagram showing a schematic overall configuration of a vehicle 100 equipped with a battery pack 200 according to the present embodiment. The vehicle 100 includes a battery pack 200 that stores electric power for running. The vehicle 100 is configured to be capable of running using the electric power stored in the battery pack 200. In the present embodiment, the vehicle 100 is an electric vehicle (BEV) that does not include an engine (internal combustion engine), but may also be a hybrid vehicle (HEV) that includes an engine, or a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV).

[0022] The vehicle 100 includes a control device (ECU: Electronic Control Unit) 150. The ECU 150 is configured to perform charging control and discharging control of the battery pack 200. The ECU 150 includes a processor 151, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 152, and a storage device 153. The RAM 152 functions as a working memory that temporarily stores data processed by the processor 151. The storage device 153 stores information used by the programs (for example, maps, mathematical expressions, and various parameters). The processor 151 executes the programs stored in the storage device 153, thereby performing various controls in the ECU 150.

[0023] The monitoring module 130 includes various sensors that detect the state (for example, voltage, current, and temperature) of the battery pack 200 (battery module 50), and outputs the detection results to the ECU 150. The battery pack 200 is charged (externally charged) by power supplied from a charging facility.

[0024] The vehicle 100 further includes a traveling drive unit 110, an HMI (Human Machine Interface) device 120, a MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) 125, a hazard lamp 140, an external display 160, and driving wheels W. The traveling drive unit 110 includes a PCU (Power Control Unit) and an MG (Motor Generator), not shown, and is configured to drive the MG using power stored in a battery pack 200 to travel the vehicle 100. The MG is also configured to perform regenerative power generation and supply the generated power to the battery pack 200.

[0025] The HMI device 120 includes an input device and a display device. The HMI device 120 may include a touch panel display. The MIL 125 is a warning light arranged on an instrument panel. The hazard lamps 140 are lamps arranged on the front, rear, left and right sides of the vehicle 100, and are the same as turn signals (directional indicators), and function as emergency flashing indicator lights. The external display 160 is, for example, an LED display, and is provided on the rear window so that the display content can be viewed from outside the vehicle 100.

[0026] The battery pack 200 includes a battery case 90 and a battery module 50 stored in the battery case 90. The battery case 90 is composed of a lower case 91 and an upper case 92. In this embodiment, two battery modules 50 are stored in a space formed by the lower case 91 and the upper case 92. A breathing membrane 61 is provided in the upper case 92. The breathing membrane 61 will be described later. The battery pack 200 is mounted on a floor of the vehicle 100, and may be mounted on the interior side of the vehicle 100 or on the exterior side of the vehicle 100.

[0027] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a battery pack 200. Fig. 2 is a cross section taken along line AA in Fig. 1. A battery module 50 is an assembled battery in which a plurality of unit cells 10 are connected. The plurality of unit cells 10 are stacked between a pair of end plates 31, 32.

[0028] Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a cell 10 in this embodiment. Fig. 3(A) is a top view of the cell 10. The cell 10 is a laminate-type all-solid-state battery that uses a laminate film as an exterior member 20, and a negative electrode terminal (negative electrode tab) 1a and a positive electrode terminal (positive electrode tab) 5a protrude from the exterior member 20. The laminate film may be, for example, a pouch made of aluminum laminate film, or a film with a three-layer structure in which aluminum foil is sandwiched between resin films.

[0029] FIG. 3(B) shows the all-solid-state battery laminate 15 housed in the exterior member 20, and shows the cross section BB of FIG. 3(A). In the all-solid-state battery laminate 15, three all-solid-state battery elements 8, each of which is formed by stacking a negative electrode current collector layer 1, a negative electrode active material layer 2, a solid electrolyte layer 3, a positive electrode active material layer 4, and a positive electrode current collector layer 5 in this order, are stacked in the reverse order, sharing the negative electrode current collector layer 1 and the positive electrode current collector layer 5. The negative electrode current collector layer 1 is connected to the negative electrode terminal 1a, and the positive electrode current collector layer 5 is connected to the positive electrode terminal 5a. The number of all-solid-state battery elements 8 included in the all-solid-state battery laminate 15 may be one, or may be four or more. The insulating film 7 insulates between the all-solid-state battery laminate 15 and the exterior member (laminate film) 20.

[0030] The unit cell 10 is a sulfide-based all-solid-state battery. In the present disclosure, a sulfide-based all-solid-state battery is one in which at least one of the material of the positive electrode active material layer 4 and the material of the solid electrolyte layer 3 contains a sulfur component. In the present embodiment, the solid electrolyte layer 3 contains a sulfide-based solid electrolyte, and the sulfide-based solid electrolyte is, for example, phosphorus pentasulfide (P 2 S 5 ), lithium sulfide (Li 2 S), may be used as a starting material. In this case, the positive electrode active material layer 4 may contain, for example, lithium cobalt oxide, lithium nickel oxide, lithium iron phosphate, or the like. When the solid electrolyte layer 3 is composed of an oxide-based solid electrolyte, a sulfur-based positive electrode active material is used for the positive electrode active material layer 4. The sulfur-based positive electrode active material may be an organic sulfur compound or an inorganic sulfur compound. Both the solid electrolyte layer 3 and the positive electrode active material layer 4 may contain a sulfur component.

[0031] There is a concern that air may infiltrate from a sealed portion of the exterior member 20 (laminate film) in the single battery 10. If the infiltrating air contains moisture, the sulfur component contained in the solid electrolyte layer 3 or the positive electrode active material layer 4 may react with the moisture to generate hydrogen sulfide, which may be released into the battery case 90.

[0032] 2, a plurality of unit cells 10 are arranged and stacked between a pair of end plates 31, 32. The plurality of unit cells 10 are sandwiched between the pair of end plates 31, 32 in a stacked state, and a predetermined restraining load is applied by a restraining band or the like (not shown). The pair of end plates 31, 32 are fixed to a bottom plate 30 by brackets 41, 42. A battery module 50 consisting of the unit cells 10 stacked between the pair of end plates 31, 32, the bottom plate 30, etc. is fixed to a bottom surface 91a of a lower case 91. The battery case 90 is a case (housing) that houses the battery module 50.

[0033] A duct 60 is provided in the upper case 92. The duct 60 is a communication passage that connects the inside and outside of the battery case 90, and when the internal pressure of the battery case 90 becomes high, the air inside the battery case 90 is discharged to the outside, and when the internal pressure of the battery case 90 becomes low, the outside air (outside air) is taken in. The duct 60 is attached to an opening formed in a ceiling surface 92a of the upper case 92.

[0034] At the end of the duct 60, breathable membranes 61, 62 made of an air-permeable waterproof (moisture-permeable waterproof) sheet are provided. The air-permeable waterproof (moisture-permeable waterproof) sheet may be, for example, GORE-TEX (registered trademark). A desulfurizing agent 63 is disposed inside the duct 60. The desulfurizing agent 63 may be, for example, a pellet-shaped desulfurizing agent mainly composed of iron oxide, and chemically adsorbs hydrogen sulfide. Any material may be used as long as it adsorbs and absorbs the desulfurizing agent 63. When the internal pressure of the battery case 90 increases, the air inside the battery case 90 is discharged to the outside through the duct 60, as shown by the dashed arrow. At this time, the hydrogen sulfide contained in the air is chemically adsorbed by the desulfurizing agent 63, and the hydrogen sulfide is purified. In this manner, the duct 60 and the desulfurizing agent 63 are configured as a desulfurization unit Dsu.

[0035] A hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 is disposed inside the duct 60. The hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 is a sensor that detects the concentration of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) contained in the atmosphere, and outputs a signal indicating the detection result to the ECU 150. The hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 may be, for example, a hot wire type semiconductor sensor or a constant potential electrolysis sensor. In this embodiment, the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 is disposed in the duct 60 on the external side of the battery case 90 relative to the desulfurization agent 63 (downstream of the flow when hydrogen sulfide contained in the air inside the battery case 90 is discharged).

[0036] When the air containing hydrogen sulfide in the battery case 90 is discharged to the outside of the battery case 90 through the duct 60, the hydrogen sulfide is purified (adsorbed) by the desulfurizing agent 63, and the hydrogen sulfide can be prevented from being discharged to the outside of the battery case 90. When the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed by the desulfurizing agent 63 becomes saturated, it becomes difficult for the desulfurizing agent 63 to adsorb hydrogen sulfide, and hydrogen sulfide flows from the desulfurizing agent 63 to the outside of the battery case 90 (downstream of the flow when hydrogen sulfide is discharged). When the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed by the desulfurizing agent 63 approaches saturation, the hydrogen sulfide adsorption capacity of the desulfurizing agent 63 decreases, and hydrogen sulfide may flow from the desulfurizing agent 63 to the outside of the battery case 90. According to this embodiment, the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 arranged in the duct 60 on the outside side of the battery case 90 relative to the desulfurizing agent 63 detects hydrogen sulfide, and it can be detected that the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed by the desulfurizing agent 63 is saturated or may become saturated.

[0037] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing functional blocks configured in the ECU 150. The determination unit 150a determines whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied based on the detection signal (detection value) of the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70. When the determination unit 150a determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the notification unit 150b performs notification (alert) using at least one of the HMI device 120, the MIL 125, the hazard lamp 140, and the external display 160. In this embodiment, when the determination unit 150a detects hydrogen sulfide by the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70, the notification unit 150b displays "desulfurization unit needs to be replaced" on the display device of the HMI device 120 and turns on the MIL 125. This makes it possible to notify the user of the vehicle 100 that the desulfurization unit Dsu needs to be replaced. Note that "when hydrogen sulfide is detected by the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70" may be when the hydrogen sulfide concentration becomes a concentration detectable by the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 (a detection limit concentration).

[0038] In addition, when the judgment unit 150a judges that the detection value (hydrogen sulfide concentration) of the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 exceeds the set value, the notification unit 150b turns on the MIL 125, displays on the display device of the HMI device 120 a message requesting replacement of the desulfurization unit and a request to stop on the shoulder of the road / take refuge, flashes the hazard lights 140, and displays "Caution (hydrogen sulfide)" on the external display.

[0039] According to this embodiment, by detecting hydrogen sulfide using the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 arranged in the duct 60 on the external side of the battery case 90 relative to the desulfurization agent 63, it is possible to detect that the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed by the desulfurization agent 63 has reached saturation, and to urge the user to replace the desulfurization agent 63 (desulfurization unit Dsu). In addition, when a large amount of hydrogen sulfide is being generated, it is also possible to issue a warning to those around the vehicle 100.

[0040] <Modification> FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a desulfurization unit Dsu according to a modified example. In the desulfurization unit Dsu shown in FIG. 5(A), the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 is disposed in the duct 60 on the inner side of the battery case 90 relative to the desulfurization agent 63 (upstream of the flow when hydrogen sulfide contained in the air in the battery case 90 is discharged). In this case, the determination unit 150a integrates the concentration Chs [ppm] of hydrogen sulfide detected by the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 per unit time (for example, 1 second), and when this integrated value exceeds a predetermined value A, determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Then, the notification unit 150b displays "Desulfurization unit needs to be replaced" on the display device of the HMI device 120 and turns on the MIL 125. The predetermined value A is set in advance by experiments or the like based on the ventilation amount inside the battery case 90, the saturation amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorption of the desulfurization agent 63, and the like.

[0041] In the desulfurization unit Dsu shown in Fig. 5(B), the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 is provided in the duct 60 at a portion where the desulfurization agent 63 is arranged. In this case, the determination unit 150a integrates the hydrogen sulfide concentration Chs [ppm] detected by the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 per unit time (for example, one second), and when this integrated value exceeds a predetermined value B, determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Then, the notification unit 150b displays "Desulfurization unit needs to be replaced" on the display device of the HMI device 120 and turns on the MIL 125. The predetermined value B is set in advance by experiments or the like, and is set to a value smaller than the predetermined value A.

[0042] In these modified examples, if the detection value (hydrogen sulfide concentration) of the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 continues to exceed the set value after the integrated value exceeds the specified value A or B, the notification unit 150b may further display on the display device of the HMI device 120 a request to "stop on the shoulder of the road / take refuge", flash the hazard lights 140, and display the message "Caution (hydrogen sulfide)" on the external display.

[0043] <Embodiment 2> FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a desulfurization unit Dsu in the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the configuration of the desulfurization unit Dsu is the same as that of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6(A), the desulfurization unit Dsu in the second embodiment is composed of five ducts 60a to 60e. The first duct 60a includes a breathing membrane 61 and is attached to an opening of the battery case 90 (upper case 92). A desulfurization agent 63 is disposed inside the second duct 60b and the fourth duct 60d. The third duct 60c connects the second duct 60b and the fourth duct 60d. The fifth duct 60e includes a breathing membrane 62 and communicates with the inside of the battery case 90 via the breathing membrane 62.

[0044] The first duct 60a and the second duct 60b are fastened by a fastening member fp at their respective flanges. The fastening member fp may be, for example, a clip or a screw fastening member. The second duct 60b and the third duct 60c are fastened by a fastening member fp at their respective flanges. The third duct 60c and the fourth duct 60d are fastened by a fastening member fp at their respective flanges. The fourth duct 60d and the fifth duct 60e are fastened by a fastening member fp at their respective flanges.

[0045] The second duct 60b and the fourth duct 60d, in which the desulfurizing agent 63 is disposed, have substantially the same configuration and have the function of a replaceable desulfurization unit 60Ct. The third duct 60c connects the second duct 60b (desulfurization unit 60Ct) and the fourth duct 60d (desulfurization unit 60Ct), and corresponds to an example of a "connecting pipe" in the present disclosure. The second duct 60b (desulfurization unit 60Ct) corresponds to a "first desulfurization unit" in the present disclosure, and the fourth duct 60d (desulfurization unit 60Ct) corresponds to a "second desulfurization unit" in the present disclosure. The second duct 60b is disposed on the outside side of the battery case 90 (downstream of the flow when hydrogen sulfide contained in the air in the battery case 90 is discharged) from the fourth duct 60d.

[0046] The cross-sectional area of ​​the third duct 60c is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the other ducts (the first duct 60a, the second duct 60b, the fourth duct 60d, and the fifth duct 60e). The third duct 60c corresponds to an example of a "narrow passage portion" of the present disclosure. A hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 is provided inside the third duct 60c.

[0047] In the second embodiment, when the determination unit 150a of the ECU 150 detects hydrogen sulfide by the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70, the notification unit 150b displays "desulfurization unit needs to be replaced" on the display device of the HMI device 120 and turns on the MIL 125. When hydrogen sulfide is detected by the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70, there is a high possibility that the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorption in the fourth duct 60d (desulfurization unit 60Ct) is saturated. This makes it possible to notify the user that replacement of the fourth duct 60d (desulfurization unit 60Ct) is necessary, and to urge the user to replace the fourth duct 60d (desulfurization unit 60Ct).

[0048] When the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorption in the fourth duct 60d (desulfurization unit 60Ct) becomes saturated and replacement is required, the second duct 60b (desulfurization unit 60Ct) that has been used until now may be connected to the fifth duct 60e as shown in Fig. 6(B). Then, a new desulfurization unit 60Ct may be connected to the first duct 60a. This is because when hydrogen sulfide is detected by the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70, the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorption in the second duct 60b (desulfurization unit 60Ct) has a sufficient margin until saturation.

[0049] When the amount of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed in the fourth duct 60d (desulfurization unit 60Ct) becomes saturated, hydrogen sulfide flows through the third duct 60c into the second duct 60b (desulfurization unit 60Ct). At this time, if the concentration of hydrogen sulfide flowing through the third duct 60c is equal to or lower than the detection limit of the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70, the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 cannot detect hydrogen sulfide. Even in such a case, hydrogen sulfide is adsorbed by the desulfurization agent 63 in the second duct 60b, so that the hydrogen sulfide can be prevented from being released to the outside of the battery case 90.

[0050] In this second embodiment, the hydrogen sulfide sensor 70 is provided in the third duct 60c, which has a smaller flow cross-sectional area than the other ducts. Hydrogen sulfide is heavier than air (its specific gravity is greater than that of air), and its concentration may vary within the duct. In the third duct 60c, which has a smaller flow cross-sectional area, the variation in the concentration of hydrogen sulfide within the duct is likely to be smaller, so hydrogen sulfide can be detected more reliably.

[0051] In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the battery pack 200 is mounted on the vehicle 100. The battery pack 200 may be a stationary power storage device.

[0052] The embodiments disclosed herein should be considered to be illustrative and not restrictive in all respects. The scope of the present disclosure is defined by the claims, not by the description of the embodiments described above, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.
