Benefits of technology
[0010]The present invention is directed to solve at least one problem existing in the prior art. Accordingly, in order to solve the limitation problem of the voltage scope of the detected battery pack in the internal resistance test of the battery pack in prior art, the present invention provides a device and a method to test the internal resistance of the battery pack having different voltage scopes, which effectively improves the measurement accuracy of the internal resistance.
[0020]In the aforementioned technologic scheme, by adjusting the value of the adjustable resistance R, the voltage between two sides of the adjustable resistance R collected by the sampling unit is equal to the range voltage of the sampling unit, which may test the internal resistance of the battery pack having different voltage scope. Moreover, by adjusting the adjustable resistance R, the adjustment of current and voltage in the circuit may be realized and the voltage between two sides of the adjustable resistance R collected by the sampling unit is equal to the range voltage of the sampling unit. The aforementioned technologic scheme may improve the measurement accuracy of the internal resistance of the battery pack effectively.
Problems solved by technology
Individual cells in the battery pack may become damaged and affect the entire capacity of the battery pack.
Second, the number of the battery packs in the electric vehicle is large, and such measurement may waste a large portion of the capacity of the battery pack, and may be only suitable when a large load resistance is applied and measured with a high current scope or other device.
If the battery pack current is measured with a low current scope or other device, it may not be properly loaded with the required large current of about several tens of amperes in short amount of time of several seconds.
Accordingly, a large current passes through the battery pack, which may damage the electrodes in the battery pack and may adversely affect measurement accuracy.
Further, this method may not be used with hybrid vehicles.
However, similar to the problems associated with the direct current discharge method, the alternating current injection method has a limitation problem of the voltage scope of the detected battery pack.
Thus, the hardware circuit and algorithm is complicated, which affects measurement accuracy.

Abstract
An internal resistance testing device includes an excitation source and a battery pack, an adjustable resistance R, a sampling unit, and a control unit. The excitation source and the battery pack form a loop circuit. The adjustable resistance R may be located at the loop circuit formed by the excitation source and the battery pack. The sampling unit samples the voltage between two sides of the battery pack, the voltage between two sides of the adjustable resistance R, and the value of the adjustable resistance R. The control unit calculates internal resistance of the battery pack according to the signal value collected by the sampling unit. The internal resistances of different voltage-ranges the battery pack are determined by adjusting the value of the adjustable resistance R to cause the actual excitation voltage to be equal to the range voltage of the sampling unit. The voltage between two sides of the adjustable resistance R is made equal to the range voltage of the sampling unit by adjusting the value of the adjustable resistance R, which effectively improves measurement accuracy of the internal resistance.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority to, and the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 2009-10109967.2 filed Oct. 29, 2009, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]This document relates to a device and method of testing an internal resistance of a battery pack, and more particularly, to a device and method of testing the internal resistance of a battery pack used in an electric vehicle and a hybrid powered vehicle.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]The battery pack plays an important role in electric vehicle and hybrid power vehicle. The battery pack system is generally coupled in series. Individual cells in the battery pack may become damaged and affect the entire capacity of the battery pack. That means, the entire capacity of the battery pack can be determined by one or more damaged cells. Accordingly, accurately measuring each cell state is necessary to avoid the failure of ...
