The following detailed description of the embodiments and the accompanying drawings are provided to illustrate the principles of the application and are not intended to limit the scope of the application, i.e., the application is not limited to the embodiments described.

With the development of new energy technology, the application field of batteries is becoming wider and wider. Such as batteries, may be used as the primary power source for powered devices (e.g., vehicles, boats, or spacecraft, etc.). It should be understood that reference to a battery in accordance with an embodiment of the present application refers to a single physical module that includes one or more battery cells to provide higher voltage and capacity.
Alternatively, the battery may be a power storage battery. The battery may be a lithium ion battery, a lithium metal battery, a lead-acid battery, a nickel-metal-hydride battery, a lithium-sulfur battery, a lithium-air battery, a sodium ion battery, or the like, and is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application. In terms of battery scale, the battery in the embodiment of the present application may be a battery cell or a battery module or a battery pack, and is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.
For batteries, not only is the battery operated at a reasonable temperature, but the temperature difference between different battery cells does not exceed a specific value as much as possible. If the temperature difference is too large, the consistency between the battery cells is deteriorated, and the charge and discharge rate of each battery cell is different, thereby degrading the performance of the battery. Such as thermal stability problems, e.g., capacity fade, thermal runaway, etc., and such as a significant decrease in battery life.
Based on this, the embodiment of the application provides a temperature adjustment method, which is to obtain the temperatures of a plurality of battery monomers, and heat the battery where the battery monomer with the lowest temperature is located when the temperature difference between the battery monomer with the highest temperature and the battery monomer with the lowest temperature is larger, so that the temperature difference between different batteries can be reduced, and further the performance of the battery is effectively improved.

The embodiment of the application does not limit the electric equipment in particular.
Hereinafter, electric equipment will be described as an example of a vehicle, but it should be understood that embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

In another embodiment of the present application, the battery 10 may be used not only as an operating power source for the vehicle 1 but also as a driving power source for the vehicle 1, instead of or in part instead of fuel oil or natural gas, to supply driving power to the vehicle 1.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic flow chart of a method 200 of temperature regulation in accordance with an embodiment of the application. Alternatively, the method 200 may be performed by a battery management system (battery management system, BMS) or may be performed by a newly added device in a powered device.
As shown in fig. 2, method 200 may include at least some of the following.
S210: the temperature of a plurality of battery cells included in the plurality of batteries is obtained.
S220: and heating the first battery under the condition that the first temperature difference between the temperature of the first battery monomer and the temperature of the second battery monomer is larger than the first preset temperature difference. The first battery cell is the battery cell with the lowest temperature in the battery cells, the second battery cell is the battery cell with the highest temperature in the battery cells, and the first battery cell comprises the first battery cell.
According to the embodiment of the application, the temperature of the plurality of battery monomers is obtained, and when the temperature difference between the battery monomer with the highest temperature and the battery monomer with the lowest temperature is larger, the battery with the lowest temperature is heated, so that the temperature difference between different batteries can be reduced, and the performance of the battery is further effectively improved.
Alternatively, the temperatures of the plurality of battery cells may be acquired in real time.
Alternatively, the temperatures of the plurality of battery cells may be periodically acquired. For example, the temperatures of a plurality of battery cells are acquired every 5 ms.
Alternatively still, the temperatures of the plurality of battery cells may be randomly acquired. For example, the time interval between the first acquisition of the temperatures of the plurality of battery cells and the second acquisition of the temperatures of the plurality of battery cells is 3ms, and the time interval between the second acquisition of the temperatures of the plurality of battery cells and the third acquisition of the temperatures of the plurality of battery cells is 6ms.
Alternatively, the first preset temperature difference may be determined, for example, according to the life requirement of the battery. Illustratively, the first preset temperature may be 5 degrees celsius (°c).
The battery generates a large amount of heat during the operation of the vehicle and accumulates in a relatively small space as time passes. In addition, when the battery is charged, thermal runaway of the battery is liable to occur due to the temperature of the battery possibly rising during charging or other reasons. Once thermal runaway occurs, combustion, explosion, etc. of the battery may occur.
In view of this, it is generally necessary to cool the battery to reduce the temperature of the battery. In the process of cooling a plurality of batteries, uneven cooling may occur, that is, the temperature of some batteries is high and the temperature of some batteries is low.
At this time, S210 may specifically include: in the process of cooling the plurality of batteries, the temperatures of the plurality of battery cells are obtained. Due to the cooling of the battery, uneven cooling may occur. According to the technical scheme, the temperatures of the battery monomers are obtained in the cooling process of the battery monomers, so that whether the temperature difference between the battery monomers is in the preset range in the cooling process can be determined. If not, some measures may be taken to reduce adverse effects due to the temperature difference between the plurality of battery cells not being within the preset range, thereby improving the performance of the battery.
Generally, cooling modes of batteries are mainly classified into three types of air cooling, liquid cooling and direct cooling. Wherein the direct cooling system cools the battery by using a refrigerant. Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a direct cooling system. As shown in fig. 3, the direct cooling system may include a compressor, a condenser, a fan, an expansion valve, and a plurality of batteries arranged in parallel. The refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat in the battery to cool the battery, and the expansion valve shunts the refrigerant to ensure the consistency of shunting, so as to ensure the consistency of the temperature of the battery.
However, even if the refrigerant distribution uniformity is still difficult to ensure, temperature inconsistency still occurs among the plurality of batteries in the process of cooling the plurality of batteries by direct cooling. Therefore, the temperatures of the plurality of battery cells can be obtained during the process of cooling the plurality of batteries by direct cooling.
According to the technical scheme, the temperatures of the battery monomers are obtained in the cooling process of the battery monomers, so that whether the temperature difference between the battery monomers is in a preset range in the cooling process can be determined. If not, some measures may be taken to reduce adverse effects due to the temperature difference between the plurality of battery cells not being within the preset range, thereby improving the performance of the battery.
If the first temperature difference between the temperature of the first battery cell and the temperature of the second battery cell is greater than the first preset temperature difference, the cooling of the first battery can be stopped and the first battery can be heated.
To do so, a valve needs to be provided for each cell. If the first temperature difference between the temperature of the first battery monomer and the temperature of the second battery monomer is larger than the first preset temperature difference, a valve corresponding to the first battery can be closed, so that cooling of the first battery is stopped. In this way, the cost is high.
Therefore, the first battery can be heated during the process of cooling the plurality of batteries by direct cooling. In other words, the current operation state may be maintained, and the heating mode of the first battery may be turned on.
According to the technical scheme, when the temperature difference between the plurality of battery monomers is large, the previous running state does not need to be changed in the process of heating the first battery, namely, the plurality of batteries are continuously cooled in a direct cooling mode, so that the implementation is simpler. In addition, the battery is cooled in a direct cooling mode, so that the cooling requirement of the battery can be met, the refrigeration efficiency can be improved, and the power consumption of auxiliary sources of the system can be reduced.
It should be noted that, the cooling system and the heating system in the embodiment of the present application are two systems, which can be operated separately or simultaneously, and specifically can be controlled by combining the requirements of refrigeration and heating.
For example, when the battery is under the high temperature exposure, the battery cells on the side and top of the battery may have a high temperature, and the operation of the refrigeration system may be controlled at this time, for example, the refrigeration system may be controlled to cool the battery cells on the side and top of the battery in a full power mode. For another example, when the battery is in a low-temperature standing state, the battery cells located at the side and the top of the battery may have a low temperature, and the heating system may be controlled to operate to heat the battery cells located at the side and the top of the battery.
After determining that the first temperature difference is greater than the first preset temperature difference, it may not be determined which battery the lowest temperature cell belongs to. Thus, further, in the case where the first temperature difference between the temperature of the first battery cell and the temperature of the second battery cell is greater than the first preset temperature difference, the method 200 may further include: the temperature of each of the plurality of batteries and the average temperature of the plurality of batteries are obtained, and the first battery is heated when the temperature of the first battery of the plurality of batteries is less than the average temperature of the plurality of batteries.
Alternatively, the difference between the average temperatures of each battery and the plurality of batteries may be sequentially broken, and the first battery is heated when it is determined that the temperature of the first battery is less than the average temperature of the plurality of batteries.
Alternatively, the difference between the average temperatures of each battery and the plurality of batteries may be determined at the same time.
It should be understood that the temperature of the battery in the above is the average temperature of all the battery cells included in the battery. For example, the first battery includes three battery cells, and the temperatures of the three battery cells are T1, T2, and T3, respectively, and then the temperature t= (t1+t2+t3)/3 of the first battery.
In the case where the first temperature difference is greater than the first preset temperature difference, the second battery may be cooled in addition to the first battery. Wherein the second battery comprises a second battery cell.
That is, the battery having a low temperature is heated and the battery having a high temperature is cooled. Therefore, the time spent for reducing the temperature between different batteries can be reduced, and the efficiency for reducing the temperature difference between the different batteries is effectively improved.
If the plurality of batteries are not cooled before the temperatures of the plurality of battery monomers are obtained, a valve corresponding to the second battery can be opened so as to realize the purpose of cooling the second battery.
If the plurality of batteries are being cooled before the temperatures of the plurality of battery cells are obtained, the cooling efficiency of the second battery can be increased, so that the purpose of more obvious cooling effect on the second battery compared with other batteries is achieved.
Further, the method 200 may further include: and stopping heating the first battery under the condition that the first temperature difference is smaller than the second preset temperature difference.
Alternatively, the second preset temperature difference may be the same as the first preset temperature difference.
Alternatively, the second preset temperature difference may be smaller than the first preset temperature difference. For example, the first preset temperature difference is 5 ℃, and the second preset temperature difference is 3 ℃.
The second preset temperature difference is set to be smaller than the first preset temperature, namely a certain return difference value is reserved. In this way, the frequent start and stop of the heating of the first battery can be reduced, effectively reducing the complexity of the operation.
In some situations, such as in direct cooling systems, if the battery temperature is low, the heating system in the system may not be operated to heat the low temperature battery. Thus, in some embodiments, a heating element may be provided on the battery cell. In this case, heating the first battery may include: the first battery is heated by controlling the heating member.
Alternatively, the heating element may be turned on and off by controlling a relay.
According to the technical scheme, the heating element is arranged and the first battery is heated by controlling the heating element, so that the purpose of heating the first battery is effectively achieved, and the application diversity of the embodiment of the application is improved.
Alternatively, the heating member may be a plate-like structure.
Alternatively, referring again to fig. 3, the heating member may be a film-like structure. The heating piece is arranged into a membranous structure, and the volume and the mass of the membrane are relatively small, so that the mass energy density and the volume energy density of the battery can be effectively improved.
Because the heating element is of a membranous structure, the thickness of the heating element according to the embodiment of the application can be relatively small. Illustratively, the thickness of the heating element may be less than or equal to 5mm. For example, the thickness of the heat conductive member may be 4mm, 3mm, 2mm, 1mm, or the like, or may be in the micrometer scale or the nanometer scale.
In the case that the heating member is of a film-like structure, that is, the heating member is a heating film, in order to reduce the probability of breakage of the heating film, the surface of the heating film may be coated with a film-preventing material, so as to reduce the probability of breakage of the heating film.
In order to achieve the effectiveness of heating the battery cells, the heating member may be disposed on the battery cells by means of, but not limited to, thermally conductive silicone. Like this, heat conduction silica gel can give the battery monomer with the heat transfer of heating member, and then can strengthen the heating effect of heating member.
In an embodiment of the application, each battery cell has at least three sides and at least one end face, each end face being connected to all sides, at least one of the end faces being provided with an electrode terminal.
The heating member may be provided on only one surface of the battery cell. For example, considering that a plurality of cells are generally disposed together by large-surface bonding, the heating member may be disposed on one of the sides having a smaller area. For another example, the heating member may be provided on an end surface where the electrode terminal is not provided. Such as a direct cooling plate of a battery cell, may incorporate the heating element.
Alternatively, the heating member may be disposed on a plurality of sides of the battery cell in order to improve the heating performance of the heating member. For example, the heating member may be disposed on all sides of the battery cell.
