Technical Field

Background
Since the first lithium ion battery in the world in the 70 s of the 20 th century, the lithium ion battery has been developed to have the advantages of cleanness, no pollution, high energy density ratio, long cycle service life and the like, and is widely applied to new energy automobiles, solar energy storage and mobile communication equipment. However, improper use or destructive operation of lithium batteries can cause certain hazards and even thermal runaway explosions.
Among the numerous causes of thermal runaway of lithium batteries, the thermal runaway hazard of lithium batteries caused by short circuits is particularly serious. The collision of a new energy automobile, the water immersion of a battery box, the falling extrusion of lithium battery communication equipment, the treatment of waste batteries and the like can cause the short circuit damage of the lithium battery, and the short circuit of the lithium battery refers to the strong discharge behavior caused by the fact that a conductor with smaller resistance is directly connected to the two ends of the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the battery.
When the lithium cell rationally uses, battery self heat production reaches dynamic balance with external heat dissipation, in case the lithium cell takes place the short circuit, voltage drops rapidly, in case reduce to discharge when cutoff voltage the lithium cell will produce the overdischarge damage, the short circuit will make the lithium cell produce great short-circuit current rapidly simultaneously, then produce a large amount of joule heat, the lithium cell heaies up rapidly, after the temperature surpassed the reasonable use temperature of lithium cell, the lithium cell damages and produces thermal runaway. The short-circuit thermal runaway of the lithium battery seriously threatens the life and property safety of people, and the national standard committee also promulgates corresponding lithium battery short-circuit safety test standards of lithium ion batteries and battery pack safety requirements for GB 31241-2014 portable electronic products and GB/T31485-2015 power storage battery safety requirements and test methods for electric automobiles, so that the detection and early warning of the short circuit of the lithium battery are particularly necessary.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The invention discloses a lithium battery short circuit thermal runaway fire detection and early warning method, which comprises the following steps:

It should be noted that the primary alarm determination and the secondary alarm determination are performed simultaneously.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the first-stage alarm determining step is implemented as follows.
In the first-level alarm judging step, the SUM is the first-level alarm accumulated time with the unit of s; the primary alarm safety parameters comprise a voltage safety parameter SU, a current safety parameter SI and a temperature safety parameter ST, and the values of the SU, the SI and the ST are 1 or 0(1 is safe, and 0 is unsafe); u shapeHAnd ULRespectively, a safe upper limit and a safe lower limit of voltage, IHAnd ILRespectively, a current safety upper limit and a current safety lower limit, THAnd TLRespectively, a safe upper limit and a safe lower limit of temperature, wherein UH、UL、IH、IL、THAnd TLThe upper and lower limit values can be changed according to the type of the specific lithium battery or the use environment.
When the process is judged to start, firstly, the SUM is assigned to be 0, the SU, the SI and the ST are all assigned to be 1, characteristic parameter values of n s are collected, whether the voltage is in the upper and lower reasonable use limit ranges is judged, if the voltage is in the upper and lower reasonable use limit ranges, the voltage is judged to be normal, the SU is assigned to be 1, and if the voltage is not in the upper and lower reasonable use limit ranges, the voltage is judged to be abnormal, and the SU is assigned to be 0.
The current and temperature are determined as well as the voltage. And then, performing an AND operation on SU, SI and ST, wherein if SU & SI & ST is 0, SUM +1, and if SU & SI & ST is 1, SUM is 0.
If the SUM is 3s and the characteristic parameters are abnormal, the SUM is more than or equal to 3, a first-level alarm is sent out, otherwise, the alarm is not sent out. And resetting SU, SI and ST to 1, and starting to acquire the characteristic parameters of the (n +1) th s.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, the secondary alarm determining step is implemented as follows.
In the secondary alarm judging step, the secondary alarm safety parameters comprise a voltage safety parameter SKU, a current safety parameter SKI and a temperature safety parameter SKT, and the values of the SKU, the SKI and the SKT are 1 or 0(1 is safe and 0 is unsafe); kU、KIAnd KTRespectively the rate of change of voltage, current and temperature over a certain time, KUHAnd KULRespectively, a safe upper limit and a safe lower limit of the voltage change rate, KIHAnd KILRespectively, a safe upper limit and a safe lower limit of the rate of change of the current, KTHAnd KTLRespectively a safe upper limit and a safe lower limit of the temperature change rate, wherein KUH、KUL、KIH、KIL、KTHAnd KTLThe upper and lower limit values can be changed according to the type of the specific lithium battery or the use environment.
When the starting of the judging process is carried out, setting two-stage alarm safety parameters SKU, SKI and SKT to 1, acquiring the characteristic parameter value of every 1s, and carrying out linear fitting on the characteristic parameters within 5s (the time can be changed according to different lithium batteries and specific use environments), namely carrying out linear fitting on the characteristic parameters of ns, (n +1) s, (n +2) s, (n +3) s and (n +4) s to obtain the change rate KU、KIAnd KTAnd judging whether the voltage change rate is in the reasonable upper and lower limit ranges, if so, judging the voltage change rate to be normal, and assigning the SKU value to be 1, otherwise, judging the voltage change rate to be abnormal, and if not, assigning the SKU value to be 0.
The judgment of the current change rate and the temperature change rate is the same as the judgment of the voltage change rate. And performing AND operation on the SKU, the SKI and the SKT, if the SKU, the SKI and the SKT are 0, giving a secondary alarm, and if the SKU, the SKI and the SKT are 1, not giving the alarm.
And then, setting SKU, SKI and SKT to be 1, and starting the analysis and judgment of the change rates of the characteristic parameters of (n +1) th s, (n +2) th s, (n +3) th s, (n +4) th s and (n +5) th s.
