[0024] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a battery pack according to one embodiment disclosed herein.

[0025] Referring to FIG. 1 , a battery pack 1000 according to an embodiment disclosed herein may include a battery module 100 , a battery management unit 200 , and a relay 300 .

[0026] The battery module 100 may include a plurality of battery cells 110, 120, 130, and 140. Although the number of battery cells is shown as four in FIG. 1 , the number of battery cells is not limited to four, and the battery module 100 may be configured to include n (n is a natural number equal to or greater than 2) battery cells.

[0027] The battery module 100 can supply power to a target device (not shown). To this end, the battery module 100 can be electrically connected to the target device. Here, the target device can include an electrical, electronic, or mechanical device that operates by receiving power from a battery pack 1000 including a plurality of battery cells 110, 120, 130, and 140. For example, the target device can be, but is not limited to, an electric vehicle (EV).

[0028] The plurality of battery cells 110, 120, 130, 140 may be, but are not limited to, lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries, lithium ion polymer (Li-ion) batteries, nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries, nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, etc. Meanwhile, although FIG. 1 illustrates a case where there is one battery module 100, according to an embodiment, there may be a plurality of battery modules 100.

[0029] The battery management unit 200 may manage and / or control the state and / or operation of the battery module 100. For example, the battery management unit 200 may manage and / or control the state and / or operation of the plurality of battery cells 110, 120, 130, and 140 included in the battery module 100. The battery management unit 200 may manage charging and / or discharging of the battery module 100.

[0030] Furthermore, the battery management unit 200 may monitor the voltage, current, temperature, etc. of the battery module 100 and / or each of the plurality of battery cells 110, 120, 130, and 140 included in the battery module 100. For monitoring by the battery management unit 200, sensors and various measurement modules (not shown) may be further installed in the battery module 100, a charge / discharge path, or any position on the battery module 100. The battery management unit 200 may calculate parameters indicating the state of the battery module 100, such as a state of charge (SOC) or a state of health (SOH), based on the measured values ​​of the monitored voltage, current, temperature, etc.

[0031] The battery management unit 200 can control the operation of the relay 300. For example, the battery management unit 200 can short-circuit the relay 300 to supply power to a target device. In addition, the battery management unit 200 can short-circuit the relay 300 when a charging device is connected to the battery pack 1000.

[0032] The battery management unit 200 may calculate a cell balancing time for each of the battery cells 110, 120, 130, and 140. Here, the cell balancing time may be defined as the time required for balancing the battery cells. For example, the battery management unit 200 may calculate the cell balancing time based on the SOC (State of Charge), battery capacity, and balancing efficiency of each of the battery cells 110, 120, 130, and 140.

[0033] The battery management unit 200 may include a battery data management unit 210 .

[0034] The battery data management device 210 can acquire data such as temperature and voltage measurements of a plurality of batteries and SOC and SOH parameters derived therefrom. The battery data management device 210 can diagnose whether or not a battery is abnormal based on the acquired data. The battery data management device 210 can classify and store battery data based on whether or not the acquired data is abnormal.

[0035] The battery data management device 210 can transmit battery data acquired from a plurality of batteries to an external server and analyze and manage the battery data using the external server with abundant computing resources. In addition, the battery data management device 210 can precisely analyze abnormal phenomena of the battery through the external server and diagnose whether or not the battery is in an abnormal state in real time.

[0036] In addition, the battery data management device 210 can analyze and manage battery data acquired from a plurality of batteries using internal components with abundant computing resources. In addition, the battery data management device 210 can precisely analyze abnormal battery phenomena through the internal components and diagnose whether or not a plurality of batteries are in an abnormal state.

[0037] FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of a battery data management device according to an embodiment disclosed herein.

[0038] The configuration of the battery data management device 210 will be specifically described below with reference to FIG.

[0039] First, referring to FIG. 2, a battery data management device 210 may include a memory 211 and a controller 212.

[0040] The memory 211 may include a temporary storage 10 capable of acquiring and temporarily storing battery data of the battery data management device, and a plurality of storages 20 capable of separately storing the battery data.

[0041] The temporary storage 10 may include a circular queue that can store battery data periodically. A queue can be defined as a data structure that allocates contiguous space and allows first-in data to be first-out data. According to one embodiment, the circular queue may include five buffers. A buffer has a limited amount of data that can be stored, allowing data to be temporarily stored contiguously. The temporary storage 10 can temporarily store battery data contiguously using a circular queue including five buffers.

[0042] The temporary storage 10 can temporarily store battery data periodically at a specific time interval. According to one embodiment, the temporary storage 10 can update the battery data every second using a circular queue containing five buffers.

[0043] The controller 212 can analyze battery data at regular time intervals. The controller 212 can analyze whether or not there is a battery abnormality based on the battery data stored in the temporary storage 10. Specifically, the controller 212 can analyze whether or not there is a battery abnormality based on voltage, current, and temperature data of a plurality of batteries. Here, an abnormality can be defined as a deviation of a characteristic or parameter of the internal configuration of the system from a specified condition by more than an allowable deviation.

[0044] For example, the controller 212 can diagnose the battery as being in an abnormal state if the battery data stored in the temporary storage 10, including at least one of the battery voltage, current, temperature, and diagnostic information from time (t-5) to time (t), deviates from the already stored conditions or pre-set conditions by more than an allowable deviation.

[0045] When the battery is diagnosed as being in an abnormal state based on the battery data stored in the temporary storage 10, the controller 212 may additionally acquire and store the stored battery data after a certain time has elapsed in the temporary storage 10. For example, when the battery is diagnosed as being in an abnormal state based on the battery data from time (t-5) to time (t) stored in the temporary storage 10, the controller 212 may additionally acquire battery data from time (t+1) to time (t+5) stored in the temporary storage 10 after five seconds have elapsed, and store the battery data generated over a total of 10 seconds.

[0046] For example, the controller 212 can store battery data for 5 seconds up to the time when the abnormality diagnosis occurred, and then store battery data after 5 seconds have elapsed, thereby storing a battery data history for 10 seconds before and after the time when the abnormality diagnosis occurred. Thus, the controller 212 can check the progress of the battery data for 10 seconds before and after the time when the abnormality diagnosis occurred.

[0047] The controller 212 can determine the abnormality level of the battery based on whether or not there is an abnormality in the battery. For example, the controller 212 can determine whether or not there is an abnormality in the battery management unit 200 and determine the abnormality level of the abnormality that has occurred.

[0048] For example, the abnormality level can be determined based on the severity, exposure, and controllability of damage caused by a malfunction of a vehicle component through a vehicle-level hazard analysis and risk assessment. For example, the abnormality level can be classified into four levels, such as Fault2, Fault1, Warning, and Alarm. The abnormality level can be defined as Fault2 being the most dangerous level and Alarm being the least dangerous level. For example, if a short circuit occurs in the battery module control cable or battery module diagnostic cable of the BMS, causing overvoltage or undervoltage in the battery cell, increasing the battery temperature and potentially posing a risk of battery fire, the battery abnormality level can be Fault2.

[0049] The controller may classify and store battery data in the plurality of storages 20 based on the battery abnormality level. For example, the plurality of storages 20 may include a first storage 21, a second storage 22, a third storage 23, and a fourth storage 24. The first storage 21, the second storage 22, the third storage 23, and the fourth storage 24 may be physically or programmatically separated. For example, the first storage 21 may store battery data whose battery abnormality level corresponds to Fault2. The second storage 22 may store battery data whose battery abnormality level corresponds to Fault1. The third storage 23 may store battery data whose battery abnormality level corresponds to Warning. The fourth storage 24 may store battery data whose battery abnormality level corresponds to Alarm.

[0050] Here, each of the multiple storages 20 may include multiple storage areas. The controller 212 can store the battery data in any one of the multiple storage areas based on the priority of the multiple storage areas of any one of the multiple storages 20. Specifically, the first storage 21 may include a first storage area (A1) and a second storage area (A2). The second storage 22 may include a third storage area (A3) and a fourth storage area (A4). The third storage 23 may include a fifth storage area (A5) and a sixth storage area (A6). The fourth storage 24 may include a seventh storage area (A7) and an eighth storage area (A8).

[0051] FIG. 3 is a diagram for specifically explaining the overall operation of a battery data management device according to an embodiment disclosed herein.

[0052] 3, the controller 212 may determine whether the battery is at an abnormal level in descending order of the risk of the abnormal level. For example, the controller 212 may determine whether the battery is at an abnormal level in the order of Fault2 level, Fault1 level, Warning level, and Alarm level.

[0053] When the controller 212 determines that the battery is at an abnormal level, the controller 212 can sort and store the battery data in one of a plurality of storages corresponding to the abnormal level of the battery.

[0054] For example, when the battery abnormality level corresponds to Fault 2, the controller 212 can determine whether or not there is storage space in the first storage area (A1) of the first storage 21. When there is no storage space in the first storage area (A1) of the first storage 21, the controller 212 can store battery data in the second storage area (A2).

[0055] For example, when the battery abnormality level corresponds to Fault 1, the controller 212 can determine whether or not there is storage space in the third storage area (A3) of the second storage 22. When there is no storage space in the third storage area (A3) of the second storage 22, the controller 212 can store battery data in the fourth storage area (A4).

[0056] For example, when the battery abnormality level corresponds to Warning, the controller 212 can determine whether or not there is storage space in the fifth storage area (A5) of the third storage 23. When there is no storage space in the fifth storage area (A5) of the third storage 23, the controller 212 can store battery data in the sixth storage area (A6).

[0057] For example, when the battery abnormality level corresponds to Alarm, the controller 212 can determine whether there is storage space in the seventh storage area (A7) of the fourth storage 24. When there is no storage space in the seventh storage area (A7) of the fourth storage 24, the controller 212 can store battery data in the eighth storage area (A8).

[0058] Here, the first memory area (A1), the third memory area (A3), the fifth memory area (A5), and the seventh memory area (A7) can be defined as battery data storage spaces for checking the history of the first abnormality diagnosis occurrence, and the second memory area (A2), the fourth memory area (A4), the sixth memory area (A6), and the eighth memory area (A8) can be defined as battery data storage spaces for checking the history of the most recent abnormality diagnosis occurrence.

[0059] FIG. 4 is a diagram for specifically explaining the overall operation of a battery data management device according to another embodiment disclosed herein.

[0060] 4, the controller 212 can assign count data to each abnormality level of the battery. When determining an abnormality level of the battery, the controller 212 can assign count data to the abnormality level. That is, when determining an abnormality level of the battery, the controller 212 can increment the count data for the abnormality level determination.

[0061] The controller 212 can store the battery data in a plurality of storage areas of one of the plurality of storages 20 based on the count data of the abnormal level that is increased when the abnormal level of the battery is determined.

[0062] For example, the controller 212 can store battery data in the first storage area (A1) when the battery corresponds to the abnormal level Fault2 and the count value of the Fault2 level is within 10. The controller 212 can store battery data in the second storage area (A2) when the battery corresponds to the abnormal level Fault2 and the count value of the Fault2 level is greater than 10.

[0063] For example, if the battery corresponds to the abnormal level Fault1 and the count value of the Fault1 level is within 10, the controller 212 can store the battery data in the third storage area (A3). If the battery corresponds to the abnormal level Fault1 and the count value of the Fault1 level is greater than 10, the controller 212 can store the battery data in the fourth storage area (A4).

[0064] For example, if the battery reaches the abnormal level Warning and the count value of the Warning level is within 10, the controller 212 can store the battery data in the fifth memory area (A5). If the battery reaches the abnormal level Warning and the count value of the Warning level is greater than 10, the controller 212 can store the battery data in the sixth memory area (A6).

[0065] For example, if the battery reaches an abnormal level Alarm and the count value of the Alarm level is within 10, the controller 212 can store the battery data in the seventh memory area (A7). If the battery reaches an abnormal level Alarm and the count value of the Alarm level is greater than 10, the controller 212 can store the battery data in the eighth memory area (A8).

[0066] Here, the reference count value can be changed based on the size of the storage area, the size of the storage space, or the size of the memory 211.

[0067] As described above, the battery data management device 210 according to an embodiment disclosed herein can divide the battery data storage and efficiently manage the battery data in multiple storages.

[0068] The battery data management device 210 manages battery data by classifying it according to the level of battery abnormality, and manages battery data with high importance separately, making it easy to trace the cause of the battery abnormality.

[0069] In addition, even if the storage area is divided by abnormality level and abnormality diagnoses occur frequently, leaving no battery data storage area, the problem of battery data with an unimportant abnormality level occupying the storage area for battery data corresponding to an abnormality level with a high degree of importance can be solved.

[0070] The battery data management device 210 has a structure that stores only battery data acquired for one second when a battery abnormality diagnosis occurs, and utilizes a circular queue data structure including multiple buffers to store and analyze battery data for several seconds before and after the time when the battery abnormality diagnosis occurs, thereby enabling analysis of the transition of battery data.

[0071] 5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of the battery data management device according to an embodiment disclosed herein. Hereinafter, the operation method of the battery data management device 210 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

[0072] The battery data management device 210 may be substantially the same as the battery data management device 210 described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, and therefore will be described briefly below to avoid duplication of description.

[0073] Referring to FIG. 5, the operating method of the battery data management device may include a step of storing battery data (S101), a step of determining whether or not there is a battery abnormality based on the battery data (S102), a step of determining the battery abnormality level based on the battery abnormality (S103), and a step of dividing and storing the battery data into a plurality of storages based on the battery abnormality level (S104).

[0074] Steps S101 to S104 will be described in detail below.

[0075] In step S101, the temporary storage 10 of the memory 211 may include a circular queue that can store battery data periodically. In step S101, according to one embodiment, the circular queue may include five buffers. In step S101, the temporary storage 10 of the memory 211 can temporarily store battery data using the circular queue including the five buffers.

[0076] In step S101, the temporary storage 10 of the memory 211 can temporarily store the battery data at a specific time interval. In step S101, according to one embodiment, the temporary storage 10 of the memory 211 can update the battery data every second using a circular queue including five buffers.

[0077] In step S102, the controller 212 can analyze the battery data at regular time intervals. In step S102, the controller 212 can analyze whether or not there is an abnormality in the battery based on the battery data stored in the temporary storage 10 of the memory 211. Specifically, in step S102, the controller 212 can analyze whether or not there is an abnormality in the battery based on the voltage, current, and temperature data of the plurality of batteries.

[0078] In step S102, for example, the controller 212 may diagnose the battery as being in an abnormal state if the battery data, including at least one of the battery voltage, current, temperature, and diagnostic information stored in the temporary storage 10 from time (t-5) to time (t), deviates from the already stored conditions or the pre-set conditions by more than an allowable deviation.

[0079] In step S103, if the battery is diagnosed as being in an abnormal state based on the battery data stored in the temporary storage 10, the controller 212 may additionally acquire and store the battery data stored in the temporary storage 10 after a certain time has elapsed. For example, in step S103, if the battery is diagnosed as being in an abnormal state based on the battery data from time (t-5) to time (t) stored in the temporary storage 10, the controller 212 may additionally acquire battery data from time (t+1) to time (t+5) stored in the temporary storage 10 after five seconds have elapsed, and store battery data generated for a total of 10 seconds.

[0080] In step S103, for example, the controller 212 may store battery data for 5 seconds up to the time when the abnormality diagnosis occurred, and then store battery data after 5 seconds have elapsed, thereby storing a battery data history for 10 seconds before and after the time when the abnormality diagnosis occurred. Thus, the controller 212 can check the transition of the battery data for 10 seconds before and after the time when the abnormality diagnosis occurred.

[0081] In step S103, if the battery is diagnosed as being in an abnormal state based on the battery data, the controller 212 may determine the abnormality level of the battery. For example, the controller 212 may determine whether an abnormality has occurred in the battery management unit 200 and determine the abnormality level of the abnormality.

[0082] In step S103, the controller 212 may determine whether the battery is at an abnormal level in descending order of the risk of the abnormal level. For example, the controller 212 may determine whether the battery is at an abnormal level in the order of whether the battery data is at a Fault2 level, whether the battery data is at a Fault1 level, whether the battery data is at a Warning level, and whether the battery data is at an Alarm level.

[0083] In step S103, the controller 212 can assign count data to each abnormal level of the battery. In step S103, the controller 212 can assign count data to the abnormal level when determining the abnormal level of the battery. In step S103, that is, when determining the abnormal level of the battery, the controller 212 can increment the count data for the abnormal level determination.

[0084] In step S104, the controller 212 may monitor abnormality detection information including the abnormality level of the battery, and may classify and store the battery data according to the abnormality level. Specifically, in step S104, the controller 212 may store the battery data in one of the plurality of storages 20 corresponding to the abnormality level of the battery.

[0085] In step S104, if the battery is diagnosed as being in an abnormal state, the controller 212 may acquire battery data stored in multiple circular queues and battery data stored in multiple circular queues after a certain period, and store the acquired data in separate storages 20.

[0086] Here, each of the plurality of storages 20 may include a plurality of storage areas. In step S104, the controller 212 may store the battery data in one of the plurality of storage areas based on the priority of the plurality of storage areas of any one of the plurality of storages 20. Specifically, the first storage 21 may include a first storage area (A1) and a second storage area (A2). The second storage 22 may include a third storage area (A3) and a fourth storage area (A4). The third storage 23 may include a fifth storage area (A5) and a sixth storage area (A6). The fourth storage 24 may include a seventh storage area (A7) and an eighth storage area (A8).

[0087] In step S104, for example, if the battery abnormality level corresponds to Fault 2, the controller 212 can determine whether or not there is storage space in the first storage area (A1) of the first storage 21. If there is no storage space in the first storage area (A1) of the first storage 21, the controller 212 can store the battery data in the second storage area (A2).

[0088] FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of a computing system that implements an operating method of a battery data management device according to an embodiment disclosed herein.

[0089] Referring to FIG. 5, a computing system 400 according to one embodiment disclosed herein may include an MCU 410, a memory 420, an input / output I / F 430, and a communication I / F 440.

[0090] The MCU 410 may be a broker that executes various programs (e.g., a program for monitoring battery data) stored in the memory 420, processes various data, and performs the functions of the battery data management device 210 shown in FIG. 1 described above.

[0091] The memory 420 can store various programs related to the operation of the equipment control device 400. The memory 420 can also store operation data for the equipment control device 400.

[0092] A plurality of such memories 420 may be provided as necessary. The memories 420 may be volatile memories or non-volatile memories.
