Description
Battery, power consuming device, leakage detection method, storage medium and program product Cross-reference to related applications
[0001] The present disclosure is based on and claims priority to the application with CN application number 202411125944.1 and filing date of August 16, 2024, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into the present disclosure. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a battery, a power consuming device, a leakage detection method, a storage medium and a program product. BACKGROUND
[0003] A battery is installed in a power consuming device such as an electric vehicle. During operation of the power consuming device, the battery can come into contact with water or other liquids. If water or other liquids enter the battery case, the battery cells in the case can short circuit, catch fire, or even explode. To seal the gap at the connection between the case and the case cover, a sealing gasket or other sealing member can be installed at the connection between the case and the case cover to prevent water or other liquids from entering the battery case. However, during use of the battery, the battery can be subjected to different impacts, causing the sealing member to fail. Currently, a water leakage detection rope is often used for liquid leakage detection. Two parallel water leakage detection ropes are arranged around the case in the case of the battery and below the sealing member. The two water leakage detection ropes are attached to the case wall by adhesive and are powered on. A controller detects the current of a detection loop formed by the two water leakage detection ropes. When water or other liquids between the two water leakage detection ropes act as a conductor, the controller detects a large change in the current of the detection loop, determines that the sealing member has leaked liquid, and issues an alarm. However, the temperature in the case of the battery changes greatly, which can cause cooling water to form on the case wall. When the cooling water is located between the two water leakage detection ropes, the controller can issue a false alarm, reducing the accuracy of liquid leakage detection. SUMMARY

[0064] The present disclosure provides a battery 10, which can be various batteries such as lithium batteries and the like. As shown in FIG. 1, the battery 10 includes a sealing member 11 and a liquid leakage detection module 12. The sealing member 11 is used to prevent liquid from entering various devices such as a box, and the liquid can be various liquids such as water. The mounting position of the sealing member 11 can be various, and the mounting position can be determined according to the sealing needs.
[0065] For example, the battery 10 includes a box, and the sealing member 11 can be mounted at the connection position of the upper box and the lower box of the box. The sealing member 11 can be various sealing members such as a sealing strip, a sealing gasket and the like, and the material of the sealing member 11 can be various materials such as rubber and the like.
[0066] The liquid leakage detection module 12 is integrated with the sealing member 11, and the liquid leakage detection module 12 is used to detect whether the sealing member 11 has liquid leakage, and in the case where it is determined that the sealing member has liquid leakage, the liquid leakage detection result is sent to a target system. The target system corresponds to the application of the battery 10, and can be various systems. For example, the target system is a BMS (Battery Management System, battery management system).
[0067] The liquid leakage detection module 12 detects whether the sealing member 11 leaks liquid, so that the battery 10 has the capability of liquid leakage detection, can detect whether the sealing position of the sealing member 11 leaks liquid, avoids false alarm caused by condensed water and the like, and improves the accuracy of liquid leakage detection; by sending the liquid leakage detection result to the target system, the liquid leakage detection can be monitored.
[0068] The communication mode of the liquid leakage detection module 12 sending the liquid leakage detection result can use wired or wireless communication mode. For example, the liquid leakage detection module 12 can send the liquid leakage detection result to the target system through Bluetooth or other wireless communication mode, without wiring, which is convenient for deploying the liquid leakage detection module 12 and can ensure the communication quality.
[0069] The liquid leakage detection module can be various. As shown in FIG. 2A, the liquid leakage detection module includes a detection circuit unit 121 and a controller 122, and the detection circuit unit 121 is installed on the sealing surface of the sealing member 11. The sealing surface of the sealing member 11 is the surface that contacts the part of the device such as the box that needs to be sealed and plays a sealing role, which can prevent liquid such as water from entering the inside of the device from the outside.
[0070] The controller 122 is electrically connected with the detection circuit unit 121, the controller 122 collects the electrical parameters of the detection circuit unit 121, which can be current, voltage, etc. The controller 122 determines whether the sealing surface of the sealing member 11 leaks liquid based on the electrical parameters. If the controller 122 determines that the sealing surface of the sealing member 11 leaks liquid, it generates a liquid leakage detection result and sends it to the target system. The controller 122 can be various controllers.
[0071] By setting the detection circuit unit 121 on the sealing surface of the sealing member 11, the controller 122 collects the electrical parameters of the detection circuit unit 121 to determine whether the sealing surface leaks liquid, which can accurately detect whether the sealing surface leaks liquid; by sending the detection report by the controller 122, the liquid leakage detection of the sealing surface can be monitored.
[0072] As shown in FIG. 2B, the liquid leakage detection module 12' includes a detection circuit unit 121, a controller 122 and a power supply unit 123. The power supply unit 123 can be various power supplies, and can use various power supply modes to supply power to the detection circuit unit 121 and the controller 122. The power supply unit 123 can include a self-power generation power supply unit, etc., which can be a thermocouple self-power generation power supply unit, etc.
[0073] If the detection circuit unit 121 and the controller 122 are powered by an external power source, there may be a situation where the power supply cannot be sustained, and the detection stability is poor. By powering the detection circuit unit 121 and the controller 122 by a power supply unit 123 such as a self-generating power supply unit, the detection can be continuously powered, and the stability of the detection can be ensured.
[0074] The shape of the sealing member 11 can be various, such as a ring shape, a strip shape, etc. The sealing member 11 in a strip shape is described below. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the sealing surface of the sealing member 11 includes adjacent first sealing areas 111 and second sealing areas 112, the height of the first sealing areas 111 is higher than the height of the second sealing areas 112, and the detection circuit unit 121 is installed in the second sealing areas 112. The detection circuit unit 121 can be various, for example, the detection circuit unit 121 is a FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit).
[0075] The first sealing areas 111 are effective sealing areas, and through holes 113 are provided in the first sealing areas 111, which are used to pass through fastening bolts, etc. The first sealing areas 111 mainly play a sealing role to prevent water and other liquids from entering the device such as a box. The detection circuit unit 121 is installed in the second sealing areas 112, which are sensing areas for liquid leakage sensing.
[0076] When the sealing surface of the sealing member 11 leaks, the leaked liquid can enter the second sealing areas 112 through the first sealing areas 111; when the liquid flows through the detection circuit unit 121, the electrical parameters of the detection circuit unit 121 change, and the controller can determine that the sealing surface has leaked based on the change of the electrical parameters of the detection circuit unit 121.
[0077] The height of the first sealing areas 111 is higher than the height of the second sealing areas 112, which facilitates the flow of the leaked liquid to the second sealing areas 112. The height difference between the first sealing areas 111 and the second sealing areas 112 can be 0.5-2mm, for example, the height difference is 1mm.
[0078] The sealing surface of the sealing member 11 includes the first sealing areas 111 and the second sealing areas 112, which can guide the liquid from the first sealing areas 111 with a higher height to the second sealing areas 112 with a lower height; the installation of the detection circuit unit 121 in the second sealing areas 112 facilitates the installation of the detection circuit unit 121 and can ensure the sealing effect of the first sealing areas 111, ensuring the reliability of the sealing and leakage detection.
[0079] As shown in FIG. 4, a through hole 113 is arranged in the first sealing area 111, and the through hole 113 is used to pass through a fastening bolt or the like. The distance between the end of the through hole 113 and the edge of the second sealing area 112 is L, and by setting the minimum value of L, the sealing effect of the first sealing area 111 can be guaranteed. L can be 6-10 mm, for example, 8 mm. For example, experiments are conducted on the seal, and when the minimum value of L is controlled to be 8 mm±0.5 mm, the sealing effect of the first sealing area 111 of the seal can be guaranteed.
[0080] As shown in FIG. 4, the height of the first sealing area 111 is higher than the height of the second sealing area 112, and a transition slope 114 is arranged at the joint between the first sealing area 111 and the second sealing area 112. The inclination angle of the transition slope 114 can be 10-45 degrees, for example, 10 degrees. The transition slope 114 can be arranged to achieve better drainage. For example, the conventional thickness of the seal is generally 3 mm, and through experiments, when the inclination angle of the transition slope 114 is 10 degrees, the minimum requirement for drainage can be met.
[0081] By arranging the transition slope 114 between the first sealing area 111 and the second sealing area 112, the liquid can be guided from the first sealing area 111 to the second sealing area 112, and the accuracy and timeliness of the liquid leakage detection can be improved.
[0082] As shown in FIG. 5, the detection circuit unit 121 is an FPC, and a liquid leakage hole 124 is arranged on the surface of the FPC. The liquid leakage hole 124 can be a honeycomb through hole or the like, and the FPC can be pasted in the second sealing area 112. The length of the FPC can be set according to the length of the second sealing area 112. The width and thickness of the FPC can be set according to the detection requirement. For example, the width of the FPC is 0.8-1.2 mm, and the thickness of the FPC is 0.01-0.02 mm. The leaked liquid can enter the FPC through the liquid leakage hole 124 and contact the circuit in the FPC. The size and layout of the liquid leakage hole 124 can be set according to the detection requirement.
[0083] The battery in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied in a box or the like, and the box can be a battery box or the like. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the battery box includes an upper box 010 and a lower box 020. The lower edge of the upper box 010 is provided with a first connecting part 011, the upper edge of the lower box 020 is provided with a second connecting part 021, and the cavity 022 of the lower box 020 is used to install a battery cell module or the like.
[0084] In the state that the first connecting part 011 of the upper box 010 and the second connecting part 021 of the lower box 020 are connected by a bolt, the seal of the battery in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be arranged between the first connecting part 011 and the second connecting part 021, and the seal can play a role of waterproofing and sealing.
[0085] A plurality of battery cell modules are arranged in the cavity 022, which can be lithium battery cell modules. A BMS can be arranged in the cavity 022. The sealing member 11 can be a ring-shaped sealing gasket, which is installed on the second connecting portion 021 before the first connecting portion 011 of the upper box body 010 and the second connecting portion 021 of the lower box body 020 are bolted together. A through hole 113 is arranged on the sealing member 11, and the bolt passes through the through hole 113 in the state that the upper box body 010 and the lower box body 020 are bolted together. The sealing member 11 is used to seal the gap at the connecting position of the upper box body 010 and the lower box body 020, so as to prevent water and other liquids from entering the upper box body 010 and / or the lower box body 020.
[0086] The sealing surface of the sealing member 11 is the surface that contacts the first connecting portion 011 and plays a sealing role. The sealing surface of the sealing member 11 includes a first sealing area 111 and a second sealing area, and a detection circuit unit 121 is installed on the second sealing area. A controller 122 is electrically connected to the detection circuit unit 121, and a power supply unit 123 supplies power to the detection circuit unit 121 and the controller 122. The controller 122 collects the electrical parameters of the detection circuit unit 121 and determines whether the first sealing area 111 leaks based on the electrical parameters.
[0087] As shown in FIG. 6C, when the first sealing area 111 leaks, water and other liquids outside the box body of the battery enter the detection circuit unit 121 installed on the second sealing area through the first sealing area 111, and the controller 122 determines that the liquid leakage occurs according to the change of the electrical parameters of the detection circuit unit 121, generates a liquid leakage detection result and sends it to the BMS 03.
[0088] The controller 122 can send the liquid leakage detection result to the BMS 03 by using a wireless communication method such as Bluetooth, and the BMS 03 can transmit the liquid leakage detection result to the vehicle system 04, which can instruct relevant personnel to perform detection and other operations.
[0089] The detection circuit unit can include one or more detection circuits, which can be various circuits. As shown in FIG. 7, the detection circuit unit includes one detection circuit, which includes a detection line 1211 and an induction line 1212. The first end of the detection line 1211 is connected to the first end of the induction line 1212, and the second end of the detection line 1211 and the second end of the induction line 1212 are connected to the controller 122, forming a detection loop.
[0090] The inductive wire 1212 is a uniformly distributed wire, and the resistance value per unit length of the inductive wire 1212 is a constant value. For example, the resistance per centimeter of the inductive wire 1212 is a constant value r constant, which corresponds to the material of the inductive wire 1212. For inductive wires 1212 of different materials, r constant is different. The detection wire 1211 can be a copper wire or the like, and the resistance of the detection wire 1211 is close to zero.
[0091] The liquid leakage detection of the sealing surface is performed through the detection circuit, and whether the liquid leakage occurs on the sealing surface can be accurately detected. The position of the leakage point can be located through the inductive wire.
[0092] The controller 122 can be electrically connected with the one or more detection circuits, and is configured to determine whether the liquid leakage occurs on the sealing surface based on the electrical parameter of the one or more detection circuits. As shown in FIG. 7, the controller 122 acquires the electrical parameter of the detection circuit composed of the detection wire 1211 and the inductive wire 1212. The electrical parameter can be a current or the like. The controller 122 can set an electrical parameter threshold value corresponding to the electrical parameter, such as a current threshold value or the like. The controller 122 determines whether the liquid leakage occurs on the sealing surface based on the electrical parameter.
[0093] For example, the electrical signal threshold value can be a current threshold value. When the liquid leakage occurs on the sealing surface of the sealing member, the liquid leakage makes the detection wire 1211 and the inductive wire 1212 conductive. When the controller 122 determines that the current of the detection circuit composed of the detection wire 1211 and the inductive wire 1212 is greater than the current threshold value, it is determined that the liquid leakage occurs on the sealing surface, and the first liquid leakage warning information is generated and sent to the target system.
[0094] In some embodiments, the number of detection circuits is two. The two detection circuits are installed on the sealing surface, and the inductive wires of the two detection circuits are arranged adjacent to each other. For example, the detection circuit unit is an FPC, and the FPC includes two detection circuits. The two detection circuits have four wires, and the gap between the wires can be 1 mm-2 mm, which can ensure the sensitivity of detection and can avoid false positives. The four wires are wrapped in a resin material to protect the four wires. The surface of the FPC is a film with honeycomb-shaped through holes. The honeycomb-shaped through holes can make the liquid leakage contact the wires, and the size and pitch of the honeycomb-shaped through holes can be determined based on experiments.
[0095] The liquid leakage detection of the sealing surface is performed through the two detection circuits installed on the sealing surface, and whether the liquid leakage occurs on the sealing surface can be accurately detected, and the position of the leakage point can be located.
[0096] As shown in FIG. 8A, the first detection circuit includes a detection line 1213 and an induction line 1214, and a first end A1 of the detection line 1213 is connected to a first end B1 of the induction line 1214; a second end A2 of the detection line 1211 and a second end B2 of the induction line 1214 are connected to the controller 122, forming a first loop. The power supply unit and the controller 122 can apply a voltage, for example, 5V, to the second end A2 of the detection line 1211 and the second end B2 of the induction line 1214.
[0097] The second detection circuit includes a detection line 1216 and an induction line 1215, and the induction line 1214 and the induction line 1215 are arranged adjacent to each other; a first end D1 of the detection line 1216 is connected to a first end C1 of the induction line 1215; a second end D2 of the detection line 1216 and a second end C2 of the induction line 1215 are respectively connected to the controller 122, forming a second loop; the power supply unit and the controller 122 can apply a voltage, for example, 5V, to the second end D2 of the detection line 1216 and the second end C2 of the induction line 1215.
[0098] The controller 122 detects the electrical parameters of the first detection circuit and the second detection circuit, which can be current, etc. In the case that the sealing surface does not leak liquid, there is no liquid from the outside leaking on the sealing surface, the current 1 of the first detection circuit detected by the controller 122 is the ratio of 5V voltage to the total resistance of the first detection circuit, and the current 2 of the second detection circuit detected by the controller 122 is the ratio of 5V voltage to the total resistance of the second detection circuit.
[0099] Since the total resistance of the first detection circuit and the total resistance of the second detection circuit are basically the same or have a small difference, the current 1 and the current 2 are also basically the same or have a small difference. The controller 122 can pre-set a current threshold, and in the case that the current 1 and the current 2 are both less than the current threshold, it is determined that the sealing surface does not leak liquid, and the current threshold can be set according to experimental data.
[0100] The liquid leakage detection result includes first liquid leakage warning information, etc. The controller 122 determines that the sealing surface leaks liquid in the case that the electrical parameter of one of the first detection circuit and the second detection circuit is greater than an electrical parameter threshold, generates the first liquid leakage warning information, and sends it to the target system.
[0101] For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the sealing surface leaks external liquid, the liquid seeps into the sealing surface and wets the first detection circuit, and the liquid short-circuits the detection line 1213 and the induction line 1214 of the first detection circuit, so that the total resistance of the first detection circuit changes and the current of the first detection circuit increases significantly.
[0102] The controller 122 determines that the sealing surface has liquid leakage when the current of the first detection circuit is greater than the current threshold value, and generates and sends the first liquid leakage warning information to the target system. By generating and sending the first liquid leakage warning information to the target system when the electrical parameter of one of the two detection circuits is greater than the electrical parameter threshold value, the controller 122 can detect whether the sealing surface has liquid leakage, and can send the warning information, thereby realizing the leakage warning reminding function.
[0103] The unit length resistance value of the sensing line of the first detection circuit is a constant value, and the resistance of the detection line of the first detection circuit is usually close to 0; when the current of the first detection circuit is greater than the current threshold value, the controller 122 detects the voltage and the current of the first detection circuit, and by calculating the quotient of the voltage and the current, the resistance value corresponding to the first detection circuit can be determined; by calculating the quotient of the resistance value and the unit length resistance value of the sensing line, the length of the sensing line can be obtained, which can be regarded as the distance between the position of the first detection circuit wetted by the liquid and the controller 122, and based on the length of the sensing line, the position of the liquid leakage can be determined.
[0104] As shown in FIG. 8C, when the liquid seeps into the sealing surface and wets the first detection circuit, the liquid can continue to flow, and when the liquid flows between the first detection circuit and the second detection circuit, the first detection circuit and the second detection circuit are wetted by the liquid, and the liquid short-circuits the sensing line 1214 and the sensing line 1215, so that the sensing line 1214 and the sensing line 1215 are turned on.
[0105] The first liquid leakage warning information sent by the controller 122 can be false information. The liquid leakage detection result includes the second liquid leakage warning information, and the controller 122 generates and sends the second liquid leakage warning information to the target system when the first liquid leakage warning information is sent and it is determined that the sensing line 1214 and the sensing line 1215 are turned on. When the sensing lines of the two detection circuits are turned on, it can be determined that the liquid continues to leak, and the controller 122 generates and sends the second liquid leakage warning information to the target system, which can reduce the occurrence of false liquid leakage and improve the detection accuracy.
[0106] The controller 122 can also generate and send the second liquid leakage warning information to the target system when the first liquid leakage warning information is sent and it is determined that the voltage change of the second detection circuit exceeds the voltage change threshold value, and the voltage change threshold value can be set according to the results of the liquid leakage detection experiment.
[0107] The controller 122 can determine the position information of the liquid leakage point based on the voltage between the second end B2 of the induction line 1214 and the second end C2 of the induction line 1215, the voltage between the second end A2 of the detection line 1213 and the second end D2 of the detection line 1216, the lengths of the induction line 1214 and the induction line 1215; the controller 122 generates second liquid leakage warning information based on the position information and sends it to the target system.
[0108] By determining the position information of the liquid leakage point by the controller 122, generating the second liquid leakage warning information based on the position and sending it to the target system, the liquid leakage position can be accurately determined, and the leakage point positioning report function can be provided, which can improve the work efficiency of the leakage point troubleshooting.
[0109] The controller 122 sets multiple detection circuits or detection units to detect whether the induction line 1214 and the induction line 1215 are conductive, and in the case that the induction line 1214 and the induction line 1215 are determined to be conductive, the point of short circuit, i.e. the position information of the liquid leakage, is calculated according to the resistance voltage distribution relationship.
[0110] When the liquid wets the induction line 1214 and the induction line 1215, the wetting points E1 and E2 of the liquid will divide the induction line 1214 or the induction line 1215 into two parts, and the original parallel circuit becomes a series circuit; the series circuit includes two circuits, the first circuit is B2-E1-E2-C2, and the second circuit is A2-A1-B1-E1-E2-C1-D1-D2, and the two circuits are considered to be connected in series.
[0111] The controller 122 can detect the voltage of the first circuit B2-E1-E2-C2 and the voltage of the second circuit A2-A1-B1-E1-E2-C1-D1-D2, and determine the resistance ratio of the first circuit B2-E1-E2-C2 and the second circuit A2-A1-B1-E1-E2-C1-D1-D2 according to the voltage ratio of the first circuit B2-E1-E2-C2 and the second circuit A2-A1-B1-E1-E2-C1-D1-D2.
[0112] The lengths of the induction line 1214 and the induction line 1215 are the same, and the resistance value per unit length of the induction line 1214 and the induction line 1215 is a constant value, and the resistance of the detection line 1213 and the detection line 1216 is usually close to 0, so the length ratio of the two parts of the induction line 1214 (or the induction line 1215) can be determined according to the resistance ratio of the first circuit B2-E1-E2-C2 and the second circuit A2-A1-B1-E1-E2-C1-D1-D2. For example, the length ratio between the length of the B2-E1 part in the induction line 1214 and the length of the E1-B1 part is determined, and based on this length ratio, the position information of the liquid leakage point can be determined.
[0113] When the liquid wets the sensing line 1214 and the sensing line 1215, the simplified circuit of the two detection lines is shown in FIG. 8D, RA0 is the resistance of the first circuit B2-E1-E2-C2, and RB0 is the resistance of the second circuit A2-A1-B1-E1-E2-C1-D1-D2. The ratio of RA0 to RB0 is 1:1, which determines that the length ratio between the length of the B2-E1 part in the sensing line 1214 and the length of the E1-B1 part is 1:1, and the position of the liquid leakage point is determined to be the center position of the sensing line 1214.
[0114] In some embodiments, in the case where the controller 122 detects that the value of the current detected by one of the two detection lines is greater than the current threshold value, it is determined that the liquid such as water causes the sensing line and the detection line of this detection line to be short-circuited, a first liquid leakage warning information is generated and sent to the BMS. The first liquid leakage warning information is a first-level alarm information, the first-level alarm information is a primary alarm, which realizes the reminding function, and the first-level alarm information can also be a false alarm information.
[0115] If a real liquid leakage occurs, there will usually be continuous liquid leakage at the leakage position. After the controller 122 sends the first liquid leakage warning information, it is determined that the sensing lines of the two detection lines are turned on, it is determined that the liquid such as water causes the circuit of the two detection lines to change, according to the resistance-voltage distribution relationship, the position information of the liquid leakage point is calculated, so as to trigger the alarm, generate a second liquid leakage warning information, and send it to the target system. The second liquid leakage warning information is a second-level alarm information.
[0116] A variety of other methods can be used to determine the position information of the liquid leakage point. For example, the unit length resistance value of the sensing line of the first detection line and the second detection line is a constant value, and the resistance of the detection line of the first detection line and the second detection line is usually close to 0; the controller 122 can detect the voltage and current of the first circuit B2-E1-E2-C2, and by calculating the quotient of the current and the voltage, the resistance of the first circuit B2-E1-E2-C2 can be obtained. By calculating the quotient of this resistance value and the unit length resistance value of the sensing line, the total length of the sensing line B2-E1 and the sensing line E2-C2 (the length of the sensing line B2-E1 and the length of the sensing line E2-C2 can be considered the same) can be obtained. Half of the total length is taken as the length of the sensing line B2-E1 and the length of the sensing line E2-C2. The length of the sensing line B2-E1 and the length of the sensing line E2-C2 can be considered as the distance between the position wetted by the liquid and the controller 122, and the position of the liquid leakage can be determined.
[0117] The second liquid leakage warning information is a second-level warning signal that can be located. The second liquid leakage warning information is transmitted to the BMS, and the BMS transmits the second liquid leakage warning information to the vehicle controller, so that relevant personnel can determine the liquid leakage position and perform corresponding inspection, repair and other operations, thereby improving the work efficiency of the leakage point investigation.
[0118] As shown in FIG. 8E, when the first detection circuit and the second detection circuit are wetted by the liquid, the liquid can continue to flow. When the second detection circuit is wetted by the liquid, the detection line 1216 and the sensing line 1215 are short-circuited, so that the total resistance of the second detection circuit changes, and the current of the second detection circuit significantly increases. In the case where the current of the second detection circuit is greater than the current threshold, since the controller 122 has sent the liquid leakage warning information, the second liquid leakage warning information, etc., the controller 122 can send the liquid leakage warning information or other indication information to the BMS, or can not send information to the BMS.
