The invention relates to a battery
thermal runaway state detection control device and method, which are used for detecting and controlling the
thermal runaway state of a battery compartment. The device comprises an alarm display unit, 1-256 detection control units and a
fire extinguisher, the alarm display unit and the detection control units are connected through a
CAN bus or an RS485
bus, and each detection
control unit is connected with and controls the independent
fire extinguisher. The alarm display unit is installed at a position where people are on duty and displays the
alarm state of each detection
control unit, and when alarm messages of the detection control units are received, sound-light alarm prompt is given, and the
fire extinguisher is controlled to spray a fire extinguishing agent to extinguish fire. According to the method, the fire extinguishing time is early, control can be conducted at the initial stage of
thermal runaway, in-cabin fire extinguishing is achieved, the fire extinguishing agent is sprayed multiple times in stages, the fire extinguishing effect is good, and after-
combustion can be effectively inhibited.
