Next, use accompanying drawing that embodiments of the invention are described.In addition, the invention is not restricted to the embodiment of following narration.In addition, below, subscript p represents positive pole, subscript n is represented negative pole.
Fig. 1 illustrates the summary construction diagram of the device (being called " internal information checkout gear ") 1 of the internal information that is used to detect lithium secondary battery.Internal information checkout gear 1 utilizes computer system to realize, this computer system possess output devices 13 such as input units such as memories such as arithmetic unit 10, RAM or ROM 11, keyboard and mouse 12, display such as CPU, with the interface 14 of external equipment.Internal information checkout gear 1 is connected with the device (not shown) that obtains internal informations such as change in voltage from the battery (being called " detected battery ") of detected object.
In addition, in following, to the flash-over characteristic that is conceived to battery and the situation that detects internal information describe; But clearly, can also detect the internal information relevant with charge characteristic.Under the situation that detects the internal information relevant, " discharge " in the following explanation replaced to " charging " get final product with charge characteristic.
Fig. 2 is the flow chart of processing (reproduction computing) of obtaining the state (discharge curve) of positive pole and negative pole as internal information.
At first, arithmetic unit 10 reads in intrinsic discharge curve of positive active material and the intrinsic discharge curve (S101) of negative electrode active material from memory 11.These discharge curves are stored in the memory 11 in advance.
Particularly, in memory 11,, store as discharge curve:

The discharge curve of above-mentioned (a) and (b) can also be that benchmark is represented with the lithium ratio of components in the active material.In this case, discharge curve uses following (c), (d) to represent respectively:
(c) lithium ratio of components y in the active material and current potential v's concerns v (y)
(d) the rate of change dv/dy's of lithium ratio of components y in the active material and current potential concerns dv (y)/dy.
In addition, as the discharge curve of above-mentioned (b), (d), use the advantage of differential value as follows.First reason is, positive pole/negative pole current potential does not separately rely on the effective active matter amount, and be inversely proportional to differential and the effective active matter amount that the discharge capacity of separately current potential carries out, so the deviation of calculated value when having set incorrect effective active matter amount and measured value is extended.In addition, second reason is, is R if establish the internal resistance of lithium secondary battery, and the discharging current during actual measurement is I, then at the measured value V of voltage
sIn include because voltage landing (voltage rising) Δ V=R * I that internal resistance causes, but can reduce the influence of Δ V by the differential curve of working voltage.
Next, arithmetic unit 10 reads in the discharge curve (being called " based on the cell integrated discharge curve of actual measurement ") of surveying from detected battery (S102).In addition,, read in the discharge curve corresponding herein with the kind of the discharge curve that in S101, reads in.

In addition, the order of S101 and S102 also can be opposite.In addition, arithmetic unit 10 also can read in these discharge curves as the tables of data based on determination data, perhaps also can be used as numerical expression and reads in.In addition, under the situation that discharge curve is read in as tables of data, also can revise so that calculating afterwards.For example, in tables of data, be f (x) generally if establish the value corresponding with certain x, then the good value x of f (x) and segmentation is determined accordingly.In this case, the value with the f (x) that x is corresponding arbitrarily is to carry out interpolation according to other values of the tables of data of being read in to obtain.Under the situation of reading in as function, discharge curve for example is that the variation delta V by discharge capacity Q and the voltage corresponding with the variation delta Q of discharge capacity Q is that the relation of the differential value dV/dQ of voltage is represented.Under the situation of reading in, represent with the relation of difference value Δ V/ Δ Q as tables of data.
Next, arithmetic unit 10 set be used for revising the discharge curve that obtains at S101 parameter (being called " corrected parameter ") (S103).
Herein, corrected parameter has anodal effective active matter amount m
p, negative pole effective active matter amount m

In addition, in the present embodiment, S103~S106 is illustrated successively.But the purpose of these processing is to estimate the reproduction degree of " based on the cell integrated discharge curve of calculated value " corresponding with " based on the cell integrated discharge curve of actual measurement ", can suitably change the order of processing in this purpose scope.For example, S104 and S105 can be carried out simultaneously, perhaps S105 and S106 can be carried out simultaneously.
Next, whether well arithmetic unit 10 judges reproduction degree (S107).As an example of decision method, have and judge that above-mentioned value R is whether less than the method for the numerical value of regulation etc.Under situation, think that the reproduction degree is good less than setting.Perhaps, also can decision content R whether less than the some value R that before this time point, obtain, less than situation under, think that the reproduction degree is good.
Then, only under being judged to be good situation ("Yes" among the S107), the discharge curve of the parameter value that arithmetic unit 10 will be set in S103, positive pole/negative pole integral body of obtaining in S104 (also can be to utilize C

nRevised the discharge curve of the positive pole/negative pole integral body after the relation of position), the value R of " based on the cell integrated discharge curve that calculates " obtained in S105 and the expression reproduction degree obtained in S106 registers to the zone (S108) of the regulation of memory 11.
Afterwards, arithmetic unit 10 judges whether satisfied the termination condition (S109) that reproduces calculating.As an example of termination condition, can enumerate that all parameter group in the parameter list 100 (record 101) are through with situation about calculating at being stored in, the situation of the good reproduction degree (i.e. value R below Gui Ding the value) that obtained regulation etc.Then, under the situation that does not satisfy termination condition ("No" in S109), arithmetic unit 10 returns S103, extracts undrawn parameter group from parameter list 100, continues to handle.
On the other hand, satisfying ("Yes" in S109) under the situation of termination condition, arithmetic unit 10 is exported the data (S110) that are registered among the S108 via output device 13.
At this moment, arithmetic unit 10 also can all be exported data registered, also can select to export one or more representational data.

More than, the flow chart of Fig. 2 is illustrated.
In addition, arithmetic unit 10 can also show and the relevant result of a plurality of detected batteries simultaneously.For example, can carry out the processing of the flow process of Fig. 2 respectively, show that simultaneously the data of registering respectively compare in S108 at a plurality of detected batteries.
In addition, can also carry out the processing of the flow process of Fig. 2, obtain the information relevant of inside battery with irreversible reaction according to a plurality of measurement results of same detected battery.For example, at same detected battery do not discharge and preserve certain during, and the cell voltage before and after the recorded and stored, and, the measured value of the discharge curve after before arithmetic unit 10 obtains (A) and keeps and (B) preserving.Under each situation, carry out the processing of the flow process of Fig. 2, in S108, register above-mentioned data at each situation.

And then the operations such as change of various condition judgements and battery service condition are carried out in positive pole and the discharge curve of negative pole and the combination of corrected parameter in that arithmetic unit 10 can obtain according to the result as the flow process of Fig. 2, the detected battery.For example, can reset the operations such as the upper limit of cell voltage accurately to battery control device, so that the current potential of positive active material can not become more than the certain value.Below, enumerate several operational example.
(operational example 1)
For example, becoming (1) anodal effective active matter amount m
p7 one-tenth following, (2) negative pole effective active matter amount m for initial value
nFor 7 one-tenth of initial value following, (3) from positioning index (C
n-C
p) the situation of any one in following of 2 one-tenths of the discharge capacity of absolute value when measuring of variable quantity of initial value under, arithmetic unit 10 is built the signal of the detected battery of justice replacing via output device 13 outputs.In addition, the ratio of the positive pole in the time of can be according to the material of the active material that constitutes battery, battery design and the active material of negative pole, require performance etc., the threshold value of in judgement, using at each default.
(operational example 2)
Utilize the current potential of negative or positive electrode in the scope to be under the situation outside the prescribed limit at battery by the upper voltage limit of detected battery and lower voltage limit regulation, arithmetic unit 10 can reset the upper voltage limit or the lower voltage limit of battery, so that the current potential of negative or positive electrode is in the prescribed limit.
Be specifically described.Carry out the processing of the flow process of Fig. 2,, correctly grasped the shape and the position relation of the discharge curve of the anodal whole discharge curve of inside battery and negative pole integral body in the stage of having reproduced discharge curve.Therefore, if the upper voltage limit (for example 4.1V) when for example having determined to use battery has then been known the current potential of the positive pole corresponding with this upper voltage limit, the current potential of negative pole respectively.
In addition, because the deterioration of battery, shape, the position relation of the discharge curve of anodal integral body and the discharge curve of negative pole integral body can change.Therefore, produce following situation sometimes: under the initial condition of battery, the current potential of the positive pole corresponding with the upper voltage limit 4.1V of battery is 4.2V; If but continued deterioration, the current potential of then corresponding with the upper voltage limit 4.1V of battery positive pole would become 4.3V.On the other hand, in the battery material of positive pole/negative pole, there is the potential range that can use rightly respectively, can rapid deterioration outside this scope.
Thus, as concrete establishing method, arithmetic unit 10
(1) pre-determines anodal working voltage (for example, (current potential with generation Li/Li+ reaction is a benchmark) 3.7~4.2V).
(2) in addition, determine the working voltage (for example, 0.05~1.3V) of negative pole.
(3) then, determine the scope of discharge capacity Q of the working voltage of the satisfied positive pole in the anodal whole discharge curve that calculates by reproduction.
(4) similarly, determine the scope of the discharge capacity Q of the working voltage that satisfies negative pole in the discharge curve of negative pole integral body.
(5) then, the part that will repeat in the determined scope in above-mentioned (3) and (4) is specified to the new battery scope of application.
(6) and then, according to " based on the cell integrated discharge curve that calculates " that calculate by reproduction, obtain the corresponding cell voltage of scope with above-mentioned (5) definite discharge capacity Q.
(7) maximum and the minimum value with the voltage that obtains in above-mentioned (6) is specified to new upper voltage limit and new lower voltage limit respectively.
(operational example 3)
Under the current potential that is full of the negative pole under the electricity condition that is calculated was in situation in the prescribed limit, arithmetic unit 1 also can be warned the danger that has internal short-circuit in detected battery.Be specifically described.At when charging, the absorbed inside lithium ion of negative electrode active material, but under the situation about absorbing on amount beyond the mark ground, can be by the active material absorbed inside, be the lithium metal and separate out on the surface of active material.At this moment, lithium metal is separated out into the crystal of needle-like, causes short circuit so connect the barrier film (separator) that separates anodal and negative pole sometimes.
On the other hand, the lithium ion uptake of the negative electrode active material of unit mass becomes one-one relationship with the negative pole current potential.Therefore, if the negative pole current potential (according to reproduce calculate obtain) corresponding with the upper voltage limit of battery (=be full of electricity condition) less than the negative pole current potential corresponding with margin amount, then may be separated out the lithium metal in negative terminal surface being full of under the electricity condition.
Thus, arithmetic unit 10
(1) in advance, determine the negative pole current potential (for example 0.03V) that gives a warning.
(2) then, in the discharge curve of the negative pole that calculates by reproduction, obtain the current potential of the negative pole corresponding with the upper voltage limit (for example 4.1V) of battery.
(3) then, under the situation of the current potential that in above-mentioned (2), obtains less than the current potential of determining in above-mentioned (1), give a warning.
