  • Publication number: 20170082693
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting anomalies in a battery cell (22), wherein a short-circuit sensor system (20) detects events (44) in a signal of a terminal voltage of the battery cell, which events have successive edges in an interval of time of microseconds, and wherein events detected by the short-circuit sensor system are transmitted to a battery management system (16) which determines anomalies in the battery cells using the detected events. A short-circuit sensor system (20) and a battery system (12) which are set up to carry out the method are also stated.

  • Patent number: 9531039
    Abstract: A battery management system is configured for use with a battery having at least one battery cell with a cell housing and an electrode winding arranged inside the cell housing. The battery management system includes a battery state detection mechanism. The electrode winding is covered at least partially by a pressure-sensitive film sensor. The battery state detection mechanism is configured to read in a measured value, provided by the pressure-sensitive film sensor, or a variable derived from this measured value. The battery state detection mechanism uses the measured value/variable as an evaluation parameter to determine the battery state. The battery state detection mechanism is configured to determine a swelling force from swelling of the electrode winding due to the state of charge thereof by using the measured value/variable. The swelling force is used to further determine the state of charge or state of health of the battery cell.

  • Patent number: 9021882
    Abstract: An ultrasound-based measuring device includes a measurement body, at least one ultrasonic transmitter for coupling ultrasonic measurement signals into the measurement body, and at least one ultrasonic receiver for detecting the ultrasonic measurement signals reflected at an end face of the measurement body. The at least one ultrasonic transmitter emits both a longitudinal and a transverse measurement signal. The influence of a physical disturbance variable on the measurement section traversed by the measurement signals during a determination of a measurement pressure prevailing at the end face and/or of a measurement temperature prevailing at the end face can be taken into account on the basis of the propagation times and a difference between the propagation times of the longitudinal and transverse measurement signals reflected at the end face.
