Technical Field

[0003] This application belongs to the field of new energy vehicle technology, and specifically relates to a method, device, system, equipment and medium for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure. Background Technology

[0004] With the rapid popularization of electric vehicles, consumers and automakers are paying increasing attention to battery safety. Power batteries are not only the main power source and core component of electric vehicles, but also a major technological barrier to their rapid development. Lithium-ion batteries, with their advantages of high energy density, long cycle life, and environmental friendliness, are widely used in mobile phones, electric vehicles, and power banks. However, lithium-ion batteries inherently possess thermal risks due to their material and structural characteristics. During long-term charge-discharge cycles, factors such as lithium dendrite formation and mechanical abuse can trigger thermal runaway, producing large amounts of toxic or highly flammable gases, leading to subsequent violent fires or explosions. Furthermore, batteries generate heat during charging and discharging, and this heat is affected by factors such as charge / discharge rate and operating temperature, causing the battery temperature to rise. When a battery or battery pack is impacted or crushed in a traffic accident, internal damage can occur, leading to thermal runaway. The activation of internal side reactions can also trigger thermal runaway, all of which are fundamental causes of fires in new energy vehicles. If the heat cannot dissipate in time, the battery will experience thermal runaway, potentially leading to serious safety accidents such as combustion and explosion.

[0051] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, in the description of this application, terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a flowchart illustrating a method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure according to an embodiment of this application. The method for generating the power battery heat dissipation structure includes:

[0053] 100. Obtain the size information of the battery cell.

[0054] Specifically, the Tesla valve heat dissipation structure designed in this application is designed to prevent heat from the battery cell. To conduct heat dissipation for the battery cell, it is necessary to first obtain the size information of the battery cell in order to carry out the subsequent Tesla valve design. Optionally, the size information of the battery cell can be obtained by measuring the battery cell.

[0055] 200. Determine the design parameters of the Tesla valve based on the dimensional information, and generate a Tesla valve design scheme set.

[0056] Optionally, after obtaining the size information of the battery cell, the structure of the Tesla valve is designed based on the size information of the cell, including the size and shape of each component of the Tesla valve, the shape and size of the receiving hole for accommodating the battery cell, the model of the Tesla valve, the cross-sectional positioning, the width of the guide groove, and other design parameters. Based on the above design parameters, multiple Tesla valve design schemes are generated, and multiple design schemes are combined to form a Tesla design scheme set. Different schemes that meet the size standards of the battery cell are designed, and the optimal scheme can be selected from them to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the cell, avoid thermal runaway, and ensure the service life of the battery.

[0057] 300. Based on the set filtering rules, the optimal Tesla valve design scheme is obtained.

[0058] Specifically, after generating a Tesla valve solution set based on the battery cell information, in order to ensure better practical performance of the Tesla valve, the optimal Tesla valve design solution is further selected from the Tesla valve solution set that conforms to the size standard of the battery cell. The optimal Tesla valve design solution is obtained according to the set selection rules.

[0059] 400. Based on the optimal Tesla valve design, generate a flow-guiding and heat-dissipating structure based on the Tesla valve, which is used to place the battery cell on the flow-guiding and heat-dissipating structure.

[0060] Specifically, after selecting the optimal Tesla valve design scheme, a physical Tesla valve heat dissipation structure can be generated based on the design scheme. The battery cell can then be placed in the heat dissipation structure to achieve heat dissipation. The physical Tesla valve heat dissipation structure can be generated by generating a single Tesla valve as the heat dissipation structure and placing the battery cell in the battery cell receiving hole of the Tesla valve. Alternatively, it can be generated by generating a heat dissipation structure formed by combining two or more Tesla valves based on the structure of the Tesla valve and placing multiple battery cells in the heat dissipation structure. Optionally, multiple battery cells can be placed in the battery cell receiving hole of the Tesla valve in the heat dissipation structure.

[0061] For example, based on the cell size information, an optimal Tesla valve design is obtained, generating a Tesla valve heat dissipation structure. The cell is placed on this structure, and the Tesla valve design uniformly distributes the heat field inside the battery. Furthermore, in the event of thermal runaway or explosion inside the battery, the Tesla valve design efficiently releases energy. Understandably, in a typical flow field, when the local pressure is lower than the partial pressure of the gas, gas will precipitate, resulting in cavitation. The Tesla valve is a unidirectional flow valve. Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the forward and reverse flow conditions of the Tesla valve are shown respectively. When the Tesla valve is reverse-flowing, a local low pressure is generated at the valve body's cross outlet. When the pressure difference between the valve body's inlet and outlet is large, cavitation occurs at the cross outlet. The relevant Zwart-Gerbera-Belamri (ZGB) cavitation model can be expressed as a transport equation, as shown below:

[0062] Where v represents the gas phase, α is the gas volume fraction, and ρ v V is the gas density. v R is the gas phase velocity. e R c These are the mass transfer source terms for gas generation and emission, respectively.

[0063] Thus, the Tesla valve can balance the temperature field distribution inside the power battery cell, and at the same time, it can release energy quickly and effectively through the flow-guiding design in the event of thermal runaway or explosion inside the power battery cell, thus preventing safety accidents.

[0064] As described above, this application embodiment obtains the size information of the battery cell; determines the design parameters of the Tesla valve based on the size information, and generates a Tesla valve design scheme set; obtains the optimal Tesla valve design scheme based on the set filtering rules; generates a flow-guiding and heat-dissipating structure based on the Tesla valve based on the optimal Tesla valve design scheme, and uses the battery cell to be placed on the flow-guiding and heat-dissipating structure; by designing and generating the flow-guiding and heat-dissipating structure based on the Tesla valve according to the size information of the power battery cell, and placing the battery cell on the flow-guiding and heat-dissipating structure, the heat of the power battery can be released quickly and effectively, avoiding thermal runaway of the battery and preventing safety accidents.

[0065] Based on the above embodiments, the method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure can be further specified as follows: determining the design parameters of the Tesla valve based on the size information includes:

[0066] The cross-sectional positioning and guide groove width of the Tesla valve are determined based on the dimensional information.

[0067] Optionally, after obtaining the size information of the battery cell, the cross-sectional positioning and guide groove width of the Tesla valve are determined based on the cell size information. This ensures that the designed Tesla valve heat dissipation structure is compatible with the cell, enhancing the heat dissipation effect on the cell. Furthermore, based on the determined cross-sectional positioning and guide groove width of the Tesla valve, multiple compatible Tesla valves can be designed, generating multiple Tesla valve design schemes. These multiple design schemes are then combined to form a Tesla design scheme set, designing different schemes that meet the size standards of the battery cell. The optimal scheme can then be selected to enhance the heat dissipation effect on the cell and ensure the battery's lifespan.

[0068] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 2 shows a flowchart of another method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure according to an embodiment of this application. This method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure is a specific embodiment of the above-described method. Referring to Figure 2, the method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure includes:

[0069] 310. The Tesla valve design scheme set was analyzed to obtain multiple Tesla valve streamline diagrams.

[0070] Specifically, based on the cell size information, multiple compatible Tesla valves can be designed, generating multiple Tesla valve design schemes. These multiple design schemes are then combined to form a Tesla design scheme set. Further, the multiple Tesla valve design schemes are analyzed and processed to generate flow diagrams corresponding to each Tesla valve design scheme. Optionally, the Tesla valves of different design schemes can be formed into planar design drawings, which are then fitted into a flow diagram template to generate a flow diagram for each Tesla valve. Alternatively, the Tesla valves of different design schemes can be formed into planar design drawings and then image processed to generate a flow diagram corresponding to each Tesla valve. Alternatively, each design scheme in the design scheme set can be labeled, and the design scheme set can be processed uniformly to generate a flow diagram corresponding to the scheme set.

[0071] For example, please refer to Figure 7, which shows a plan view of the Tesla valve design scheme set. The design scheme set of this application embodiment includes 6 design schemes. All of them are based on the size information of the same battery cell to determine the cross-sectional positioning and flow channel width of the Tesla valve and generate scheme af. All 6 schemes can accommodate the battery cell and conduct heat dissipation for the battery cell.

[0072] 320. Analyze the streamline diagram of the Tesla valve to obtain the optimal Tesla valve design scheme.

[0073] Optionally, the obtained Tesla valve streamline diagrams can be analyzed to select the best Tesla valve design. The selection parameters can be set according to specific requirements to select the Tesla valve that best suits the battery cell and battery.

[0074] 330. Verify the optimal Tesla valve design.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, a Tesla valve design scheme set is generated, and a corresponding streamline diagram of the design scheme set is generated. The optimal Tesla valve design scheme is obtained by filtering according to the streamline diagram. Furthermore, the optimal Tesla valve design scheme needs to be verified to ensure that the design scheme is optimal, thereby ensuring the high-speed and effective heat dissipation of the battery cell. It is understood that the verification method and process can be designed according to specific requirements.

[0076] The above-described embodiments of this application obtain the optimal Tesla valve design scheme through analysis and processing, so as to generate a Tesla valve heat dissipation structure based on the optimal Tesla valve design scheme, release heat from the battery cell, and prevent thermal runaway of the battery.

[0077] Based on the above embodiments, the method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure can be further specified as follows: Analyzing the Tesla valve design scheme set to obtain a Tesla valve streamline diagram includes:

[0078] The Tesla valve design scheme set was simulated and analyzed using simulation software, resulting in multiple Tesla valve streamline diagrams.

[0079] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the design plan of the Tesla valve design scheme set is simulated and analyzed using simulation software. Further, Ansys Fluent finite element simulation analysis is performed to generate the corresponding Tesla valve streamline diagram. The Tesla valve streamline diagram is then analyzed to obtain the optimal Tesla valve design scheme, so as to design and manufacture a structure for guiding and dissipating heat from the battery cell.

[0080] For example, please refer to Figure 8, which shows the six Tesla valve streamline diagrams generated corresponding to the six design scheme plan diagrams in Figure 7. In this embodiment of the application, the design plan diagrams of the Tesla valve design scheme set are subjected to unified Ansys Fluent simulation analysis to obtain the streamline diagrams of the Tesla valve design scheme set, so as to analyze the streamline diagrams in the future and select the best Tesla valve design scheme.

[0081] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 3 shows a flowchart of another method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure according to an embodiment of this application. This method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure is a specific embodiment of the above-described method. Referring to Figure 3, the method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure includes:

[0082] 321. Analyze the streamline diagram of the Tesla valve to obtain the ideal design scheme of the Tesla valve.

[0083] Specifically, the obtained Tesla valve streamline diagrams are analyzed to select the best Tesla valve design scheme. Based on specific requirements, the Tesla valve that best suits the battery cell and battery can be selected.

[0084] For example, referring to Figure 8, this embodiment of the application analyzes the streamline diagram of design scheme af and comprehensively screens the streamline diagrams of six design schemes based on parameters such as the pipe shape, morphological compatibility, and space utilization of the Tesla valve. Design scheme a has the most heat lines for airflow, thus the airflow carries away the most heat, resulting in the best cooling effect. At the same time, design scheme a has the highest morphological compatibility and the highest space utilization, making it the most suitable for the structure of the power battery and providing the best heat dissipation effect for the battery cells. Therefore, after analyzing and screening design scheme af, this embodiment of the application finds that the streamline diagram of design scheme a is the most ideal. Thus, design scheme a is the ideal design scheme for the Tesla valve.

[0085] 322. Obtain the test parameters corresponding to the ideal design scheme of the Tesla valve.

[0086] Specifically, the test parameters corresponding to the ideal design scheme of the Tesla valve are obtained, wherein the test parameters include the average temperature T. ave and Reynolds number R e .

[0087] 323. Perform normalization analysis and normality test analysis on the test parameters.

[0088] Specifically, the test parameters of the obtained ideal design scheme of the Tesla valve are subjected to data normalization analysis and normal distribution test analysis. Normalization analysis of the test parameters can eliminate the differences between characteristic values ​​of different scales or orders of magnitude. Optionally, the normalization analysis can use the min-max normalization method or the logarithmic function normalization method, etc. After the test parameters are normalized, a normal distribution test analysis is further performed. Optionally, the normal distribution test analysis can use graphical methods, statistical tests, or descriptive methods, etc.

[0089] 324. Perform a fitting analysis on the test parameters to generate a fitting result.

[0090] Specifically, after performing normalization analysis and normality test analysis on the test parameters, a fitting analysis is performed on the processed test parameters. Optionally, this can be based on the average temperature T. ave and Reynolds number R e The test parameters of the ideal design scheme of the Tesla valve were fitted and analyzed to obtain the fitting effect of different functions.

[0091] 325. Analyze the fitting effect to obtain the optimal Tesla valve design scheme.

[0092] Specifically, the fitting effects of different functions are analyzed, and the best-fitting function is selected. If the test parameters of the ideal Tesla valve design meet the set fitting effect standard, that is, the ideal Tesla valve design meets the preliminary verification, then the ideal Tesla valve design is determined to be the best Tesla valve design.

[0093] For example, please refer to Figure 9, which shows the trend lines of different functions for fitting the ideal design scheme a of the Tesla valve. After confirming that design scheme a is the ideal design scheme for the Tesla valve, the test parameters of Tesla valve design scheme a are simplified to the average temperature T after normalization analysis and normal distribution test analysis. ave and Reynolds number R e The fitting analysis yielded the fitting effects of nine different functions, as shown in Figure 9. In the figures, line a represents a first-order function, line b represents an exponential function, line c represents a logarithmic function, line d represents a power function, line e represents a second-order function, line f represents a third-order function, and line g represents a fourth-order function. It can be seen that the second-order function (line e) has the best fitting effect, with a goodness of fit of R0. 2 =0.9953, the fitting formula is y = 6E -8 x 2 -0.0012x+302.6.

[0094] In the above implementation process, the optimal Tesla valve design scheme is obtained so as to generate a Tesla valve heat dissipation structure based on the optimal Tesla valve design scheme, which releases heat from the battery cell and prevents thermal runaway of the battery.

[0095] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 4 shows a flowchart of another method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure according to an embodiment of this application. This method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure is a specific embodiment of the above-described method. Referring to Figure 4, the method for generating a power battery heat dissipation structure includes:

[0096] 331. Based on the optimal Tesla valve design, generate a manufacturable Tesla valve model diagram.

[0097] Specifically, based on the size information of the battery cells and the set screening rules, the optimal Tesla valve design scheme is obtained. Based on the optimal Tesla valve design scheme, a manufacturable Tesla valve model drawing is generated so that a physical Tesla valve can be made according to the model drawing, thereby verifying whether the manufactured Tesla valve meets the standards.

[0098] 332. Based on the Tesla valve model diagram, a physical Tesla valve is obtained; wherein the physical Tesla valve includes a Tesla valve prototyping by mold making and a Tesla valve 3D printed.

[0099] Optionally, based on the Tesla valve model diagram, a Tesla valve can be manufactured by mold making or 3D printing for further experimental verification. The manufactured Tesla valve can be a single Tesla valve forming a heat dissipation structure, or a combination of multiple Tesla valves forming a heat dissipation mechanism. For example, the Tesla valve model diagram can be stretched and extended into a single heat dissipation structure diagram, and a single heat dissipation structure formed by combining multiple Tesla valves can be manufactured for experimental verification. For example, the Tesla valve model diagram can be stretched and extended into a surface single heat dissipation structure diagram, and then further repeated and arranged to form a surface heat dissipation structure, and a surface heat dissipation structure formed by combining multiple Tesla valves can be manufactured for experimental verification.

[0100] 333. Detect the verification parameters of the physical Tesla valve; wherein the verification parameters include the structural parameters and experimental parameters of the physical Tesla valve.

[0101] Specifically, the structural and experimental parameters of Tesla valves manufactured by mold making or 3D printing are tested. Optionally, the structural parameters of Tesla valves manufactured by mold making or 3D printing can be obtained by measuring the dimensional information with tools or by directly scanning the dimensional information with a scanning device. The structural parameters are obtained based on the dimensional information. The experimental parameters can be obtained by conducting experiments on Tesla valves manufactured by mold making or 3D printing.

[0102] For example, the verification parameters for detecting the physical Tesla valve include: obtaining the structural parameters of the physical Tesla valve; obtaining a first experimental parameter when the battery cell is installed upside down on the physical Tesla valve; and obtaining a second experimental parameter when the battery cell is installed upright on the physical Tesla valve. The first and second experimental parameters include data such as temperature and airflow velocity.

[0103] 334. Compare the verification parameters with the preset verification data to determine whether the Tesla valve design is the optimal Tesla valve design.

[0104] Specifically, the optimal Tesla valve design is verified by comparing the verification parameters with the preset verification data to ensure that the design is the optimal and feasible solution. The preset verification data is set according to specific requirements, such as the battery structure, cell structure, battery specifications, or other requirements. This application embodiment does not limit the specific content and value of the preset verification data.

[0105] For example, if the verification parameters correspond to the preset verification data, the Tesla valve design is determined to be the optimal Tesla valve design; if the verification parameters do not correspond to the preset verification data, the Tesla valve design is determined to be not the optimal Tesla valve design, and the optimal Tesla valve design is obtained again; thus, the optimal Tesla valve design is determined, thereby ensuring that the generated physical Tesla valve heat dissipation structure can dissipate heat from the battery cell at high speed and effectively.

[0106] The steps described above are not strictly performed in the order of their numbers; they should be understood as a whole.
