Specifically, the storage battery to be detected is the storage battery which needs to be detected whether the internal metal structure is broken or not. It should be noted that the electric quantity Q should be smaller than the electric quantity value corresponding to the full electric quantity of the storage battery to be measured, and the voltage U should enable the storage battery to work normally, i.e. not to destroy the structure of the storage battery.
And S204, judging whether the internal metal structure of the storage battery to be tested is broken or not according to the error between the actual polarization capacitor and the reference capacitor and the standard polarization capacitor, wherein the reference polarization capacitor is the polarization capacitance value of the reference storage battery under the conditions that the electric quantity is Q and the voltage is U, the standard polarization capacitor is the polarization capacitance value of a single cell of the reference storage battery, and the storage battery to be tested and the reference storage battery are storage batteries with the same specification.
Specifically, the internal metal structure of the storage battery comprises a tab and a bus bar. The reference battery is a battery without internal metal structure fracture, and in an alternative embodiment of the present application, the reference battery is a completely new battery. It should be noted that the storage battery to be tested and the reference storage battery are the same in specification, which means that the number of battery cells, the type and the characteristics of the storage battery, the rated capacity and the special performance of the storage battery to be tested and the reference storage battery are the same, wherein the type of the storage battery comprises a starting storage battery, a motorcycle storage battery, a ship storage battery, an airplane storage battery and the like, the characteristics of the storage battery comprise a dry-sealed common lead storage battery, a dry-charged storage battery, a thin polar plate, disorder maintenance and the like, and the special performance of the storage battery comprises a high-starting-rate storage battery, a plastic shell, a low-.

As described in the foregoing embodiment, if it is determined whether the internal metal structure of the battery to be tested is broken according to the error between the actual polarization capacitor and the reference polarization capacitor, the following embodiments provide a method for obtaining the actual polarization capacitor and the reference polarization capacitor.
First, in an alternative embodiment of the present application, a method for obtaining an actual polarization capacitance is provided, and based on the embodiment shown in fig. 2, specifically, before S202, the method includes:
s302: and charging the storage battery to be tested, and stopping charging when the electric quantity of the storage battery to be tested is Q.
S304: and under the condition that the voltage is U, measuring the polarization capacitance value of the storage battery to be measured as an actual polarization capacitance.
While the above embodiments provide a method of obtaining the actual polarization capacitance, the following embodiments provide a method of obtaining the reference polarization capacitance. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
s402: and charging the reference storage battery, and stopping charging when the electric quantity of the reference storage battery is Q.
S404: in the case of a voltage U, the polarization capacitance value of the reference battery is measured as the reference polarization capacitance.
It should be noted that the actual polarization capacitor and the reference polarization capacitor should be the capacitance values of the same size battery measured at the same power level and the same voltage level.
In an optional embodiment of the present application, the storage battery to be tested and the reference storage battery are completely discharged, and then the storage battery to be tested and the reference storage battery are charged for the same time under the same environmental conditions, i.e., under the same environmental conditions of temperature, power supply voltage, and the like, so as to obtain the storage battery to be tested and the reference storage battery with the electric quantity of Q. Preferably, the electric quantity Q is an electric quantity value corresponding to the full electric quantity of the storage battery to be tested, and it should be understood that the electric quantity Q is also an electric quantity value corresponding to the full electric quantity of the reference storage battery. The corresponding electric quantity value when adopting full electric quantity is as electric quantity Q, does not need to control conditions such as charging time and charging environment, also can guarantee that the battery that awaits measuring is the same with reference battery electric quantity, so the electric quantity value that corresponds when adopting the battery that awaits measuring full electric quantity realizes the purpose of this embodiment for electric quantity Q more easily. In another optional embodiment of the present application, the electric quantities of the battery to be tested and the reference battery are detected by the battery capacity analyzer, and the battery to be tested and the reference battery are subjected to corresponding charging or discharging processes, so as to obtain the battery to be tested and the reference battery with the electric quantity Q.

It should be noted that, in practical application, the detection of the storage battery to be detected may be performed many times, and for the detection of the same storage battery to be detected or the storage batteries of the same specification, the same reference storage battery may be used, that is, the reference polarization capacitor only needs to be obtained once, and is not needed to be obtained during each detection, so that the detection operation is simplified.
As described in the above embodiment, the following embodiments will provide a method for determining whether there is a fracture of the internal metal structure in the battery to be tested according to the error between the actual polarization capacitance and the reference polarization capacitance and the standard polarization capacitance.
FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating the sub-steps of step S204 in one embodiment. Based on the embodiment shown in fig. 2, specifically, step S204 includes:
s502: the difference between the actual polarization capacitance and the reference polarization capacitance is calculated.
S504: and comparing the absolute value of the difference with the standard polarization capacitor, and judging that the internal metal structure of the storage battery to be tested is broken if the absolute value is greater than or equal to the standard polarization capacitor.
Specifically, when the difference between the actual polarization capacitance and the reference polarization capacitance is equal to the standard polarization capacitance, it indicates that the actual polarization capacitance is the same as the reference polarization capacitance, that is, the battery to be tested is the same as the reference battery, and because the reference battery is a battery without internal metal structure fracture, the battery to be tested does not have internal metal structure fracture.
When the difference between the actual polarization capacitor and the reference polarization capacitor is smaller than the standard polarization capacitor, it may be an error caused by a measurement device, or an error caused by a difference in manufacturing of the battery of the same specification, and the difference between the actual polarization capacitor and the reference polarization capacitor caused by measurement or manufacturing is not equal to the standard polarization capacitor, and should not be considered as representing that the internal metal structure of the battery to be tested is broken.
When the difference between the actual polarization capacitance and the reference polarization capacitance is greater than or equal to the standard polarization capacitance, it can be considered that the number of the battery cells connected in parallel is reduced due to the breakage of the metal structure, i.e., the tab or the bus bar, inside the storage battery, so that the condition that the metal structure inside the storage battery is broken can be judged.
According to the judgment method, the difference between the actual polarization capacitor and the reference polarization capacitor is compared with the standard polarization capacitor, so that errors caused by inaccurate manufacturing or measurement are eliminated, and whether the internal metal structure of the storage battery is broken or not is judged more accurately.
In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the battery is formed by connecting a plurality of basic battery cells in parallel. Fig. 4 shows an internal structural equivalent model of the storage battery, which includes positive and negative ohmic internal resistances R1iPolarization capacitance C2iPolarization resistance R2i,i=1,2,……,n。
Specifically, the polarization capacitor is an electric double layer capacitor formed by positive and negative electrode plates of battery cells connected in parallel in the storage battery and dielectric substances between the positive and negative electrode plates.
Since the battery is composed of parallel-connected battery cells, the total equivalent polarization capacitance C2 of the battery is:
C2=C21+C22+C23+…+C2n
typically, the individual cells within the battery are uniform, i.e., C21=C22=…=C2n
The total equivalent polarization capacitance C2 of the battery is therefore:
C2=n*C21
where n is the number of cells of the reference battery.
Optionally, the total equivalent polarization capacitance C2 value of the storage battery to be tested under the condition of the specified voltage level U of the storage battery in the fully charged state is measured by the dual-frequency point storage battery detection device, and is used as the actual polarization capacitance of the storage battery to be tested.
Further, after the new battery is fully charged, under the condition of a specified voltage level U, the total equivalent polarization capacitance C2' value of the new battery is measured through the double-frequency-point storage battery detection equipment and is used as the reference polarization capacitance of the reference storage battery.
The standard polarization capacitance of each battery cell
Where d is the error coefficient.
Optionally, d is 0, i.e. the standard polarization capacitance of the cell is
Preferably, d is not 0 and the standard polarization capacitance of the battery cell is
The above-described embodiments take into account the non-uniformity of the plurality of cells of the reference storage battery due to the manufacturing process, and more accurately express the standard polarization capacitance.
The actual polarization capacitance C2 is compared to the reference polarization capacitance C2' and, optionally,
C2-C2′=△C2
if delta C2 is more than or equal to C2'1
The internal metal structure of the battery to be tested is broken, that is, the tabs and/or the bus bars are broken.
The embodiment provides a condition for judging whether the internal metal structure of the storage battery is broken, and the application also provides a method for judging the number of the broken battery unit cells of the internal metal structure of the storage battery to be tested.
Specifically, the number of the battery unit cells with broken internal metal structures of the storage battery to be tested is calculated according to the difference between the actual polarization capacitor and the reference polarization capacitor and the standard polarization capacitor.
In an alternative embodiment of the present application, the number of battery cells with internal metal structure fracture of the battery to be tested is k, then
Where Δ C2 is the difference between the actual polarization capacitance and the reference polarization capacitance, C2'1And n is the cell number of the reference storage battery.
