Description
本发明涉及一种用于切断电路的断路器,特别是涉及一种在锂电池过充或过放时切断动力锂电池以对锂电池进行保护的断路器。The present invention relates to a circuit breaker for cutting off a circuit, and more particularly to a circuit breaker for cutting a power lithium battery to protect a lithium battery when the lithium battery is overcharged or overdischarged.
锂离子电池能量密度大,平均输出电压高,自放电小。好的锂电池,每月在2%以下(可恢复),没有记忆效应。工作温度范围宽为-20℃~60℃。锂电池具有循环性能优越、可快速充放电(充电效率高达100%)、输出功率大、重量轻、使用寿命长、不含有毒有害物质等优点,因而被称为绿色电池。近年来,随着锂电池的开发技术日益进步,用于各种用途的动力锂电池也随着发展起来。Lithium-ion batteries have high energy density, high average output voltage, and low self-discharge. A good lithium battery, less than 2% per month (recoverable), has no memory effect. The operating temperature range is -20 ° C ~ 60 ° C. Lithium batteries are known as green batteries because of their excellent cycle performance, fast charge and discharge (charging efficiency up to 100%), high output power, light weight, long service life, and no toxic and harmful substances. In recent years, with the development of lithium battery technology, power lithium batteries for various uses have also developed.
近年来,以锂电池为动力的电动自行车、混合动力汽车、电动汽车、燃料电池汽车等受到了市场越来越多的关注。动力电池在交通领域的应用,对于减少温室气体的排放、降低大气污染以及新能源的应用有着重要的意义。一般,纯电动汽车的电压要求一般在100
V 以上,为了达到这个工作电压,必须把几十个乃至上百个单体电池串并在一起,且这些动力电池组的放电电流都在几十安培以上,有的甚至达到几百安培。In recent years, electric bicycles, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles powered by lithium batteries have received more and more attention from the market. The application of power batteries in the transportation field is of great significance for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing air pollution and the application of new energy sources. In general, the voltage requirements for pure electric vehicles are generally 100.
Above V, in order to achieve this working voltage, it is necessary to string together dozens or even hundreds of single cells, and the discharge current of these power battery packs is several tens of ampere or more, and some even reach several hundred amperes.
由于锂电池在异常受热、过充、过放电流、振动、挤压等条件下可能导致电池寿命缩短以致损坏,甚至会发生着火、爆炸等事件,因此安全性问题成为动力锂电池应用推广的主要制约因素。锂离子电池过度充放电会对正负极造成永久性损坏:过度放电导致负极碳片层结构出现塌陷,而塌陷会造成充电过程中锂离子无法插入;过度充电使过多的锂离子嵌入负极碳结构,而造成其中部分锂离子再也无法释放出来。Due to the abnormal heating, overcharge, over discharge current, vibration, extrusion and other conditions, the lithium battery may cause the battery life to be shortened and damage, and even fire, explosion and other events may occur. Therefore, the safety problem becomes the main application of the power lithium battery application. Constraints. Lithium-ion battery over-charge and discharge will cause permanent damage to the positive and negative electrodes: excessive discharge will cause the negative carbon sheet structure to collapse, and collapse will cause lithium ions to be inserted during charging; over-charge will cause excessive lithium ions to be embedded in the negative carbon The structure causes some of the lithium ions to be released again.
安全型、低成本、长寿命锂离子电池的安全标准、安全评价方法、电池制造过程的安全与可靠性控制以及通过正负极材料、电解质与隔膜优选改善电池安全与可靠性是实现确保大型动力锂离子电池安全可靠,实用化的关键。而电池管理系统(简称BMS)作为电池保护和管理的核心部件,不仅要保证锂电池安全可靠的使用,而且要充分发挥锂电池的能力和延长其使用寿命,作为锂电池和车辆管理系统以及驾驶者沟通的桥梁,电池管理系统对于电动汽车性能起着越来越关键的作用。Safe, low-cost, long-life lithium-ion battery safety standards, safety evaluation methods, safety and reliability control of battery manufacturing processes, and optimization of battery safety and reliability through positive and negative materials, electrolytes and diaphragms to ensure large power The key to safe, reliable and practical lithium-ion batteries. The battery management system (BMS), as the core component of battery protection and management, not only ensures the safe and reliable use of lithium batteries, but also fully utilizes the capabilities and extended life of lithium batteries, as a lithium battery and vehicle management system and driving. The bridge of communication, battery management system plays an increasingly important role in the performance of electric vehicles.
锂电池的外部因素,例如锂电池的充电,包括充电方式、充电电流、充电结束电压;锂电池的放电,包括锂电池的放电电流、放电深度、脉冲电流;锂电池温度的变化等等,这些外部因素都会影响锂电池的寿命。从电动汽车的使用过程中发现,单个锂电池的寿命远比电动汽车中锂电池组的使用寿命长,研究表明这是因为单体锂电池处在不均衡的状态中,充放电过程不均衡,而不断重复的充放电过程更加剧了单体锂电池的不均衡现象,引起单体电池寿命缩短,导致其所在的电池组的寿命缩短,从而使整个电池系统的寿命缩短。借助电池管理系统(BMS),判断单体电池与电池组的状态,可以优化电池的外部参数,最终延长锂电池的寿命,起到保护锂电池的作用。External factors of lithium batteries, such as lithium battery charging, including charging mode, charging current, charging end voltage; discharge of lithium battery, including discharge current, depth of discharge, pulse current of lithium battery; change of temperature of lithium battery, etc. External factors can affect the life of the lithium battery. From the use of electric vehicles, it is found that the life of a single lithium battery is much longer than that of an electric battery in an electric vehicle. Research shows that this is because the single lithium battery is in an unbalanced state, and the charging and discharging process is not balanced. The repeated charging and discharging process further exacerbates the imbalance of the single lithium battery, causing the life of the single battery to be shortened, resulting in a shortened life of the battery pack in which it is located, thereby shortening the life of the entire battery system. By means of the battery management system (BMS), judging the state of the single battery and the battery pack, the external parameters of the battery can be optimized, and the life of the lithium battery is finally extended, thereby protecting the lithium battery.
电池管理系统BMS将实时监测和判断动力电池组的工作状态,当发现异常时,BMS将发出电池组停止工作的指令,并由目前常用的执行元器件如接触器、可控硅等切断电池组电路,以保护电池组不受损坏。但这种切断电路方式并非离电式完全切断,此外,接触器体积较大,且在故障因素未排除的情况下容易出现自动回位,而可控硅的切断需要有触发电流的维持,这样很容易导致安全隐患重新出现。The battery management system BMS will monitor and judge the working status of the power battery pack in real time. When an abnormality is found, the BMS will issue a command to stop the battery pack, and cut off the battery pack by the currently used execution components such as contactors, thyristors, etc. Circuit to protect the battery pack from damage. However, the method of cutting off the circuit is not completely cut off from the electric type.
