The power battery protection structure of the new energy automobile performs multi-directional monitoring and real-time monitoring on air tightness and fire in the battery bin, timely gives an early warning and an alarm when a fire occurs, avoids missed alarms, reduces false alarms, timely and automatically extinguishes the fire, effectively controls the fire, and maintains the stability of the air pressure in the battery bin.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of new energy battery safety, and in particular relates to a protective structure for a power battery of a new energy vehicle. Background technique [0002] Due to the large specific energy of the battery, no memory effect, good discharge performance, low manufacturing cost, long cycle life, green environmental protection, and high safety performance, lithium batteries have a wide range of applications, and the types of batteries are also diversified. The main markets are 3C digital, storage Energy batteries, power batteries and other fields. In terms of structure, lithium-ion batteries mainly include casing, positive electrode, negative electrode, electrode lead, electrolyte, diaphragm, etc., in which the positive electrode material is generally made of transition metal oxide, and the diaphragm plays the role of isolating the positive and negative electrodes. The negative electrode material is generally var...

Problems solved by technology

The formation process of the disaster is reflected in: causing internal short circuit: Lithium ions will gather at the negative electrode of the battery to form dendrites during overcharging and thermal impact, causing the diaphragm to rupture, and a short circuit occurs inside the lithium battery; large current is generated: internal short circuit forms a large current, which will cause The temperature rises, the diaphragm melts, and the degree of short circuit expands, forming a vicious circle; electrical failure or high-speed impact causes external short circuit, at this time, the external load of the battery is too low, and the instantaneous high current discharge causes huge heat; high temperature and high pressure appear: under the action of large current The electrolyte is electrolyzed to generate gas, which increases the air pressure in the battery, which may cause the battery shell to rupture; cause combustion or explosion: at high temperature and high pressure, the positive electrode undergoes an oxidation reaction to precipitate metal lithium. If the shell is broken, the metal lithium contacts with air and causes combustion. The electrolyte is ignited, and the thermal runaway of the single battery causes the thermal runaway of the battery pack, resulting
