[0035] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a degas process device according to one embodiment disclosed in this document.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 1, a degas process device (100) according to one embodiment disclosed in this document may include an information acquisition unit (110) and a controller (120).

[0037] According to an embodiment, the degassing process device (100) may be a device for performing a degassing process. For example, the degassing process may be a process for removing gas generated within a battery. As another example, the degassing process may be a process for removing gas generated in a battery after the charging / discharging and aging processes are performed during the battery activation process.

[0038] The information acquisition unit (110) can acquire atmospheric pressure. For example, the information acquisition unit (110) can acquire atmospheric pressure measured from an external device or can directly measure the atmospheric pressure. As another example, the information acquisition unit (110) can acquire atmospheric pressure via wired / wireless communication.

[0039] According to an embodiment, the information acquisition unit (110) may further acquire a reference atmospheric pressure. For example, the reference atmospheric pressure may be, but is not limited to, 1 atm, and may include a reference atmospheric pressure set by the degas process device (100) itself. According to an embodiment, the reference atmospheric pressure may include 101.3 kPa.

[0040] The controller (120) can compensate for the vacuum pressure during the degassing process of the battery based on atmospheric pressure. For example, the vacuum pressure may include the pressure required to reach a vacuum state during the degassing process. In some embodiments, the vacuum state may include not only a state in which no air remains, but also a state in which the air level falls below a set range.

[0041] The controller (120) can calculate the compensation pressure based on the atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure. For example, the compensation pressure may be a pressure for compensating the vacuum pressure. In an embodiment, the controller (120) can calculate the input pressure for reaching the target pressure from the reference atmospheric pressure, and can calculate the compensation pressure as the difference between the reference atmospheric pressure and the atmospheric pressure. In an embodiment, the controller (120) can calculate the input pressure as -94 Kpa when the reference atmospheric pressure is 101.3 Kpa and the target pressure is 7.3 Kpa. In addition, the controller (120) can calculate the compensation pressure as -10 Kpa when the current atmospheric pressure is 111.3 Kpa. In another example, the controller (120) can calculate the compensation pressure as 10 Kpa when the current atmospheric pressure is 91.3 Kpa.

[0042] The controller (120) can compensate for the vacuum pressure based on the compensation pressure. For example, the controller (120) can compensate for the vacuum pressure based on the input pressure and the compensation pressure. For another example, the controller (120) can calculate the vacuum pressure by adding the compensation pressure to the input pressure. In an embodiment, the controller (120) can compensate for the vacuum pressure to -104 Kpa when the input pressure is -94 Kpa and the current atmospheric pressure is 111.3 Kpa, so that the compensation pressure is -10 Kpa. In another embodiment, the controller (120) can compensate for the vacuum pressure to -80.4 Kpa when the input pressure is -94 Kpa, the current atmospheric pressure is 91.3 Kpa, so that the compensation pressure is 10 Kpa.

[0043] According to an embodiment, the degree of vacuum pressure compensation may increase as the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure increases. For example, since the controller (120) compensates for vacuum pressure based on the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure and the input pressure, the degree of vacuum pressure compensation may increase as the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure increases.

[0044] In an embodiment, as the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure decreases, the degree of vacuum pressure compensation may decrease. For example, since the controller (120) compensates for vacuum pressure based on the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure and the input pressure, as the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure decreases, the degree of vacuum pressure compensation may decrease.

[0045] In one embodiment, when the current atmospheric pressure becomes greater than the reference atmospheric pressure, the controller (120) may compensate for an absolute value of the vacuum pressure to increase. In another embodiment, when the current atmospheric pressure becomes less than the reference atmospheric pressure, the controller (120) may compensate for an absolute value of the vacuum pressure to decrease.

[0046] When the vacuum pressure is corrected, the controller (120) can perform a degassing process to achieve a vacuum state based on the corrected vacuum pressure. For example, the controller (120) can perform a degassing process by controlling the chamber pressure to be lowered by the corrected vacuum pressure.

[0047] According to an embodiment, the controller (120) can compensate for vacuum pressure by reflecting atmospheric pressure in real time. For example, if the atmospheric pressure changes rapidly, the compensation for vacuum pressure may not be accurately reflected. Therefore, the controller (120) can compensate for vacuum pressure in real time based on the real-time atmospheric pressure, thereby changing the vacuum pressure even during the degassing process. In other words, the controller (120) can prevent the problem of the vacuum reaching time exceeding the allowable range due to changes in atmospheric pressure during the degassing process.

[0048] A degas process device (100) according to one embodiment disclosed in this document can manage changes in vacuum reaching time according to atmospheric pressure in a degas process of a battery.

[0049] The degas process device (100) according to one embodiment disclosed in this document can correct the vacuum pressure during the degas process based on the atmospheric pressure.

[0050] The degas process device (100) according to one embodiment disclosed in this document can be managed so that a problem of exceeding the allowable range of the vacuum reaching time does not occur even when the atmospheric pressure changes in real time.

[0051] FIG. 2 is a drawing showing an example of a degas process device according to one embodiment disclosed in this document correcting vacuum pressure.

[0052] Referring to Figure 2, the conventional degas process device set the input pressure to the same degree regardless of whether the atmospheric pressure was high or low. In other words, the conventional degas process device reduced the chamber pressure to the same degree regardless of the atmospheric pressure. However, since it takes longer to further reduce the pressure as the pressure is lowered, it may take longer to reach a vacuum under low atmospheric pressure than it takes to reach a vacuum under the reference atmospheric pressure. Therefore, on days when the atmospheric pressure is low, the conventional degas process device may experience problems due to the delayed time to reach a vacuum.

[0053] The degas process device (100) according to one embodiment disclosed in this document can maintain a target absolute pressure by compensating the vacuum pressure even when there is a change in atmospheric pressure. For example, the degas process device (100) can manage the vacuum pressure to be similar by compensating the vacuum pressure based on the pressure difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure, thereby maintaining the same target absolute pressure even when the atmospheric pressure is high or low.

[0054] Therefore, the degas process device (100) according to one embodiment disclosed in this document can prevent the problem of equipment floating due to the vacuum reaching time exceeding the allowable range on days when atmospheric pressure is low.

[0059] According to an embodiment, the information acquisition unit (110) may further acquire a reference atmospheric pressure.

According to an embodiment, the reference atmospheric pressure may include 101.3 kPa.

[0060] In operation 320, the controller (120) may compensate for the vacuum pressure during the degassing process of the battery based on atmospheric pressure. For example, the vacuum pressure may include the pressure required to reach a vacuum state during the degassing process. In an embodiment, the vacuum state may include not only a state in which no air remains, but also a state in which the air level falls below a set range.

[0061] In operation 330, the controller (120) can perform a degassing process to achieve a vacuum state based on the corrected vacuum pressure when the vacuum pressure is corrected.

[0062] According to an embodiment, operation 330 may be omitted and performed. That is, operation 330 may be performed through another device external to the degas process device (100).

[0063] FIGS. 4 and 5 are flowcharts specifically illustrating an operating method of a degas process device according to one embodiment disclosed in this document. The operations illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 may be performed through the degas process device (100) of FIG. 1.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 4, in operation 410, the controller (120) may calculate a compensation pressure based on the atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure. For example, the compensation pressure may be a pressure for compensating for vacuum pressure. In an embodiment, the controller (120) may calculate an input pressure for reaching a target pressure from the reference atmospheric pressure, and may calculate the compensation pressure as the difference between the reference atmospheric pressure and the atmospheric pressure. In an embodiment, when the reference atmospheric pressure is 101.3 Kpa and the target pressure is 7.3 Kpa, the controller (120) may calculate the input pressure as -94 Kpa. In addition, when the current atmospheric pressure is 111.3 Kpa, the controller (120) may calculate the compensation pressure as -10 Kpa. In another example, when the current atmospheric pressure is 91.3 Kpa, the controller (120) may calculate the compensation pressure as 10 Kpa.

[0065] In operation 420, the controller (120) can compensate the vacuum pressure based on the compensation pressure. For example, the controller (120) can compensate the vacuum pressure based on the input pressure and the compensation pressure. For another example, the controller (120) can calculate the vacuum pressure by adding the compensation pressure to the input pressure. In an embodiment, the controller (120) can compensate the vacuum pressure to -104 Kpa when the input pressure is -94 Kpa and the current atmospheric pressure is 111.3 Kpa, so that the compensation pressure is -10 Kpa. In another embodiment, the controller (120) can compensate the vacuum pressure to -80.4 Kpa when the input pressure is -94 Kpa, the current atmospheric pressure is 91.3 Kpa, so that the compensation pressure is 10 Kpa.

[0066] According to an embodiment, the degree of vacuum pressure compensation may increase as the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure increases. For example, since the controller (120) compensates for vacuum pressure based on the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure and the input pressure, the degree of vacuum pressure compensation may increase as the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure increases.

[0067] In an embodiment, as the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure decreases, the degree of vacuum pressure compensation may decrease. For example, since the controller (120) compensates for vacuum pressure based on the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure and the input pressure, as the difference between the current atmospheric pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure decreases, the degree of vacuum pressure compensation may decrease.

[0068] In one embodiment, when the current atmospheric pressure becomes greater than the reference atmospheric pressure, the controller (120) may compensate for an absolute value of the vacuum pressure to increase. In another embodiment, when the current atmospheric pressure becomes less than the reference atmospheric pressure, the controller (120) may compensate for an absolute value of the vacuum pressure to decrease.

[0069] Referring to FIG. 5, in operation 510, the controller (120) can calculate an input pressure to reach a target pressure from a reference atmospheric pressure. For example, the input pressure may be a difference between the target pressure and the reference atmospheric pressure.

[0070] In operation 520, the controller (120) can calculate the compensation pressure as the difference between the reference atmospheric pressure and the atmospheric pressure. For example, the controller (120) can calculate the compensation pressure as the value obtained by subtracting the atmospheric pressure from the reference atmospheric pressure. As another example, the controller (120) can also calculate the compensation pressure as the value obtained by subtracting the reference atmospheric pressure from the atmospheric pressure.

[0071] According to an embodiment, operations 510 and 520 may be performed as included in operation 410 of FIG. 4.
