I. Overview of battery pack technical solutions

the working environment temperature of the refrigerated inspection robot is usually-20℃ to 0℃, or even lower. Traditional lithium battery in this temperature range, the capacity attenuation is obvious and the charge and discharge efficiency is reduced, which seriously affects the robot's endurance and working efficiency. In view of this feature, the design of lithium battery battery pack of refrigerated inspection robot needs to focus on solving the problem of low temperature performance, taking into account safety, volume weight and intelligent management.

This solution uses high-rate lithium ion battery or low-temperature lithium iron phosphate battery as monomer, and combines modular battery pack design and intelligent battery management system (BMS) to realize stable power supply in an efficient, safe and low-temperature environment.

3. Battery management system (BMS)

BMS monitors the voltage, current, temperature and SOC (state) of battery pack in real time to realize dynamic balanced charging and prevent the single battery from being damaged due to uneven charging and discharging. In low temperature environment, BMS also needs to have temperature compensation function to adjust charging and discharging strategy in time to prolong battery life.

4. Heat preservation and heating technology

in order to meet the challenge of low temperature in cold storage environment, battery pack design integrates insulation layer materials (such as polyurethane foam) and micro heating elements, monitors battery temperature through intelligent control system and automatically heats, keep the working temperature at Battery Pack suitableSuitable range to ensure stable performance.

5. Mechanical structure design

battery pack the shell is made of lightweight and high-strength materials, such as aluminum alloy or reinforced plastic, to ensure stable structure, waterproof and dustproof. The structural design should meet the requirements of the robot for space compactness, and have good heat dissipation performance at the same time to prevent the battery from overheating.
