Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the safety problem of lithium battery storage is increasingly prominent. Since the lithium battery material and its electrolyte are extremely flammable, there is a potential safety risk, and if it is not handled in time, it will cause a fire. The main fire risk factors of lithium battery storage can be divided into: heat storage out of control, battery aging and degradation, environmental factors and human factors. Lithium batteries may experience thermal runaway under conditions of overheating, physical damage, internal short circuit or design defects, which may lead to fire or even explosion; under normal storage conditions, the battery will also gradually degrade over time, and this natural aging may lead to thermal runaway of the battery, causing a fire or even an explosion; an environment with high temperature, high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations may accelerate the degradation of the battery, increasing the risk of thermal runaway; improper handling, storage or maintenance may cause damage to the battery, leading to thermal runaway of the battery and causing a fire or even an explosion.

[0003] In order to deal with the fire or even explosion caused by thermal runaway of lithium batteries, a series of fire prevention measures must be taken. The main measures to deal with the fire caused by thermal runaway of lithium batteries at present include water spray fire extinguishing method, dry powder extinguishing agent fire extinguishing method, carbon dioxide fire extinguishing method, foam fire extinguishing method, etc. However, the above methods have certain defects, such as using a large amount of water to cool the battery and the surrounding area, but the cooling effect of water on the battery is limited, and it may cause battery short circuit, chemical reaction intensification or electrical hazard; using dry powder extinguishing agent may not be able to effectively penetrate into densely stacked batteries, and may not be effective for deep or internal thermal runaway batteries, in addition, it may be very difficult to clean up the dry powder afterwards, and the dry powder may cause damage to electronic equipment; using carbon dioxide fire extinguisher cannot effectively cool the battery, and may not be able to stop the thermal runaway inside the battery; the foam extinguishing agent cannot effectively penetrate into the battery, and may not be effective for deep battery fires.

[0035] Exemplary embodiments according to this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and therefore their description will be omitted.

[0036] To illustrate the technical effects of the battery logistics pallet and its management system in this embodiment, the existing battery logistics technology is described below: A pallet is a horizontal platform device used for assembling, stacking, handling, and transporting goods and products as unit loads. As an important loading, unloading, storage, and transportation equipment in logistics operations, pallets and forklifts play a significant role in modern logistics. Currently, there is no unified standard for lithium battery pallets; non-standard dedicated pallets are used, and they lack the ability to detect abnormal lithium battery conditions. Even pallets with detection functions cannot accurately locate and effectively handle abnormal lithium battery storage locations. Furthermore, most lithium battery pallets are fixed structures and cannot be disassembled, making them difficult to handle. Detachable lithium battery pallets would greatly improve the convenience of lithium battery storage operations, facilitating the retrieval of lithium batteries in hazardous situations and allowing workers to handle problematic lithium batteries more safely and quickly.

[0037] Combination Figures 1 to 2 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a battery logistics tray is provided.

[0038] The battery logistics pallet includes a pallet assembly 1 and a fire suppression assembly 3. The pallet assembly 1 has a battery mounting position 100 for accommodating a battery 2. The fire suppression assembly 3 is located near the battery mounting position 100 and includes an isolation assembly 31 and a cooling fire suppression assembly 32. The isolation assembly 31 has an initial state that exposes the battery 2 to the outside environment and an isolation state that isolates the battery 2 from the outside environment. The cooling fire suppression assembly 32 is used to spray a fluorinated cooling fire suppression material onto the battery 2.

[0039] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the pallet assembly 1 is equipped with an isolation component 31 and a cooling and fire extinguishing component 32. When the temperature of the battery 2 located at the battery mounting position 100 is abnormal, the isolation component 31 can isolate the abnormal battery, and the cooling and fire extinguishing component 32 can cool and extinguish the abnormal battery. This achieves rapid isolation, cooling and fire extinguishing of the abnormal battery, reduces the affected area of ​​the warehouse, reduces the degree of fire impact, solves the safety problem of battery fire or explosion caused by slow processing speed when the battery is abnormal, and ensures the safety of battery storage.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, after the isolation component 31 isolates the battery 2, a small-volume effective cooling space is formed between the isolation component 31 and the battery mounting position 100, and the cooling and fire extinguishing component 32 sprays fluorine-containing cooling and fire extinguishing material into the battery 2 located in the effective cooling space.

[0041] Specifically, the tray assembly 1 includes a storage tray 11 and a battery tray 12. The storage tray 11 has a tray mounting position 110. The battery tray 12 is detachably connected to the storage tray 11. The battery tray 12 has a mounting position for mounting to the tray mounting position 110 and a detachment position for disengaging from the tray mounting position 110. The battery tray 12 has a battery mounting position 100, and a fire extinguishing component 3 is disposed on the battery tray 12.

[0042] In this embodiment, the storage tray 11 is the first-layer tray, serving as the base for the battery tray 12. The storage tray 11 can be stacked with other storage trays 11 to form a frame. The battery tray 12 is the second-layer tray, carrying the battery and the fire extinguishing assembly 3, and together with the storage tray 11, forms a detachable tray assembly 1. Optionally, a forklift can be used to remove the battery tray 12, while the storage tray 11 remains in its original position. The arrangement of the storage tray 11 and the battery tray 12 makes battery access more convenient.

[0043] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, a plurality of supports 111 are also provided on the storage tray 11, the plurality of supports 111 being spaced apart along the circumference of the storage tray 11, and the plurality of supports 111 forming a tray mounting position 110.

[0044] Furthermore, a locking assembly 13 is provided on the tray assembly 1. The locking assembly 13 includes a first locking unit disposed on the storage tray 11 and a second locking unit disposed on the battery tray 12. The first locking unit and the second locking unit are disposed correspondingly. The first locking unit and the second locking unit have a locking state that locks the storage tray 11 and the battery tray 12, and a releasing state that releases the storage tray 11 and the battery tray 12.

[0045] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the storage tray 11 and the battery tray 12 are detachably connected by a locking assembly 13. The locking assembly 13 is a pin-type structure, and the staff can unlock the storage tray 11 and the battery tray 12 by manually inserting, unplugging and rotating the pin. Then, the battery tray 12 can be directly removed by tools such as a forklift to achieve rapid transfer of the problematic battery.

[0046] It should be noted that in practical applications, the locking component 13 can also be a snap-fit ​​component, a bolt and nut component, or other locking mechanisms. In addition to manual unlocking, the locking component 13 can also be set as a locking structure driven by an electrical signal to achieve remote unlocking of the storage tray 11 and the battery tray 12.

[0047] Specifically, the isolation component 31 includes a closure member, which has a retracted state and an extended state. When the closure member is in the retracted state, the battery 2 is exposed to the outside air. When the closure member is in the extended state, the closure member and the battery mounting position 100 form a closed isolation space, and the battery 2 is located within the closed isolation space. The closure member can switch between the retracted state and the extended state along a first preset direction of the battery mounting position 100. By setting the closure member, the battery can be isolated when an abnormal battery condition is detected. At the same time, in conjunction with the cooling and fire extinguishing component 32, it plays a role in blocking air, reducing temperature, preventing flame overflow, and protecting other normal batteries and shelves from being affected by fire.

[0048] Furthermore, the isolation component 31 also includes an ejector 311, which is positioned near the battery mounting position 100. The ejector 311 is located at one end of the closure component along a first preset direction and is connected to the closure component. The closure component switches between a retracted state and an extended state via the ejector 311. The ejector 311 facilitates the switching of the closure component's state and enables automatic control of the closure component.

[0049] Optionally, the closure is retractably disposed along a first preset direction of the battery mounting position 100. In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the first preset direction is horizontal. By providing a retractable closure, the switching of the closure's state is more convenient.

[0050] Furthermore, the isolation assembly 31 also includes a locking member 312, which is disposed at the other end of the closure member along a first preset direction. The locking member 312 has an active state and a default state. When the locking member 312 is in the active state, the closure member is locked to the locking member 312. When the locking member 312 is in the default state, the locking member 312 releases the closure member. The locking member 312 ensures that the closure member is in an extended state, preventing the closure member from loosening during subsequent cooling and exposing the battery to air.

[0051] Furthermore, the tray assembly 1 is also provided with at least one slide 101 extending along a first preset direction. The slide 101 is located near the battery mounting position 100, and the closure is slidably disposed along the slide 101.

[0052] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the battery is a power lithium battery, and the isolation component 31 includes a sealing member, an ejector 311, and a sealing locking member 312. The sealing member is a fire blanket, the ejector 311 is a fire blanket ejection unit, and the sealing locking member 312 is a fire blanket sealing locking unit. The fire blanket ejection unit is located on the right side of the battery tray 12 and is used to store the fire blanket when the power lithium battery is in normal condition and to eject the fire blanket when the power lithium battery is in abnormal condition. The slide 101 is located on both sides of the power lithium battery carried by the battery tray 12, so that the fire blanket ejected by the fire blanket ejection unit can be smoothly locked with the fire blanket sealing locking unit to form a closed isolation space. The fire blanket sealing locking unit is located on the other side of the battery tray 12 and is used to lock the fire blanket ejected by the fire blanket ejection unit to form a closed small-volume isolation space to isolate the power lithium battery in an abnormal temperature state. Preferably, the closure, ejector 311, locking closure 312, and slide 101 are all made of fire-resistant materials.

[0053] Specifically, the cooling and extinguishing assembly 32 includes a fluorinated cooling and extinguishing material storage unit 321 and a cooling and extinguishing spray unit. The fluorinated cooling and extinguishing material storage unit 321 is disposed on the tray assembly 1 and stores fluorinated cooling and extinguishing material. The cooling and extinguishing spray unit is disposed at the bottom of the slide 101 and is connected to the fluorinated cooling and extinguishing material storage unit 321. The cooling and extinguishing spray unit is used to spray fluorinated cooling and extinguishing material onto the battery mounting position 100. By setting up the fluorinated cooling and extinguishing material storage unit 321 and the cooling and extinguishing spray unit, each battery on the tray assembly 1 can be equipped with an individual cooling device, realizing individual cooling and extinguishing treatment for any battery. Normally, when the battery temperature is abnormal, the cooling and extinguishing assembly 32 is activated after the isolation assembly 31 is isolated, continuously and stably spraying fluorinated cooling and extinguishing material onto the abnormal battery to cool it down and control the battery temperature below the ignition point, preventing the battery from burning at high temperature.

[0054] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the battery is a power lithium battery, the fluorine-containing cooling and extinguishing material storage device 321 is a fluorine-containing material storage unit, and the cooling and extinguishing spray device is a fluorine-containing material spraying unit. The fluorine-containing material storage unit is disposed on the battery tray 12 and is used to store fluorine-containing cooling and extinguishing materials. The fluorine-containing material spraying unit is disposed under the slide 101. After the isolation component 31 completes the isolation, it continuously sprays fluorine-containing cooling and extinguishing materials into the closed isolation space formed by the isolation to reduce the temperature of the power lithium battery in an abnormal state.

[0055] Depending on actual needs, the fluorinated cooling extinguishing material storage unit 321 can also be equipped with a material balance detection device to monitor the storage level of the fluorinated cooling extinguishing material in real time and issue a warning message when the storage level is insufficient, prompting the operator to replenish the fluorinated cooling extinguishing material. The cooling extinguishing spray unit can adjust the spray rate, spray duration, and spray volume according to the battery size and temperature data to achieve a better cooling effect.

[0056] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, there are two slides 101, which are arranged at a distance along a second preset direction. The locking member 312 and the ejector member 311 are respectively located at both ends of the slide 101 along a first preset direction. The two slides 101, the locking member 312, and the ejector member 311 form a battery mounting position 100. The top of the slide 101 forms a sliding guide rail for the locking member, and the bottom of the slide 101 is provided with a cooling and fire extinguishing spray member.

[0057] Preferably, the tray assembly 1 is further provided with a plurality of temperature detectors 4, wherein at least one temperature detector 4 is used to detect the ambient temperature and at least one temperature detector 4 is used to detect the battery temperature.

[0058] In this embodiment, at least one temperature detector 4 is used to detect the ambient temperature, and at least one temperature detector 4 is used to detect the battery temperature. By comparing the difference between the ambient temperature and the battery temperature and detecting whether the battery temperature reaches the threshold, it is determined whether the battery is abnormally heated and the battery status is determined, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of the battery status.

[0059] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, at least one temperature detector 4 is disposed at the bottom of the battery mounting position 100 to detect the temperature of critical parts of the battery, and at least one temperature detector 4 is disposed on the surface of the tray assembly 1 to detect the ambient temperature. Preferably, two temperature detectors 4 are disposed at the bottom of the battery mounting position 100. It should be noted that, since different types of batteries have different structures and different flammability points, the temperature detectors 4 are arranged according to the flammability point location of different batteries. Optionally, the temperature detectors 4 are infrared temperature sensors.

[0060] Preferably, the tray assembly 1 is also equipped with at least one alarm device 5. By setting the alarm device 5, the location of the abnormal battery can be promptly alerted to the operator when the battery temperature is abnormal, facilitating the operator to handle the abnormal battery in a timely manner.

[0061] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the alarm device 5 is an audible and visual alarm located on the outside of the battery tray 12. It is used to receive alarm data and provide audible and visual alarms. After detecting an abnormal battery temperature, it simultaneously flashes a red light and sounds a buzzer alarm to remind and help staff to quickly find the abnormal battery pack and handle it in a timely manner.

[0062] Preferably, the tray assembly 1 is further provided with a battery management controller 6, which is electrically connected to the fire prevention and extinguishing assembly 3, the temperature detector 4, and the alarm device 5. By setting up the battery management controller 6, the data obtained by the temperature detector 4 is processed, the battery status is determined, and when the battery is abnormal, instructions are promptly sent to the fire prevention and extinguishing assembly 3 and the alarm device 5 to carry out fire prevention and extinguishing procedures and provide alarm prompts. The battery handling process is faster, effectively reducing the occurrence of fire accidents.

[0063] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the battery management controller 6 is electrically connected to the temperature detector 4, which transmits temperature data signals to the battery management controller 6; the battery management controller 6 is electrically connected to the isolation component 31, which, after receiving the fire prevention and extinguishing command signal from the battery management controller 6, isolates the abnormal battery and sends an isolation completion signal to the battery management controller 6; the battery management controller 6 is electrically connected to the cooling and extinguishing component 32, which, after receiving the fire prevention and extinguishing command signal and the isolation completion command signal from the battery management controller 6, activates the spraying of fluorinated cooling and extinguishing material to cool the battery; and the battery management controller 6 is electrically connected to the alarm device 5, which, after receiving the fire prevention and extinguishing command signal from the battery management controller 6, activates an audible and visual alarm.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the battery management controller 6 includes a data processing unit and a data transmission unit. The data processing unit processes the temperature data from the temperature detector 4 to detect the state of the power lithium battery; the data transmission unit transmits various data commands to other components and devices. The working process of the battery management controller 6 is as follows:

[0065] 1. The battery management controller 6 continuously collects temperature information from the temperature detector 4 at different time points and transmits it to the management system. Alarm data is generated based on the comparison between the temperature value of the power lithium battery and a threshold, or based on the comparison between the difference between the battery pack temperature and the ambient temperature and a threshold.

[0066] 2. The battery management controller 6 transmits the power lithium battery information data to the management system, providing staff with real-time temperature data;

[0067] 3. When the battery management controller 6 detects an abnormal state of the power lithium battery, it transmits the abnormal battery location information to the management system and issues a fire prevention and extinguishing command based on the abnormal temperature data. The command controls the isolation component, cooling and fire extinguishing component, locking component, and alarm device to execute and respond to the corresponding fire prevention and extinguishing command in sequence.

[0068] The battery logistics pallet in the above embodiment can be applied to the logistics and storage of power lithium batteries. A temperature detector 4 monitors the temperature of the power lithium batteries stored on the pallet assembly 1 and the external ambient temperature. Combining internal and external temperature data, a comprehensive judgment is made on the battery status. When an abnormal temperature is detected, the isolation component 31 of the battery pallet 12 ejects a fire blanket to cover the entire battery, forming a closed isolation space. Fluorine-containing cooling and fire extinguishing material is continuously sprayed within this space to rapidly cool the lithium battery. An audible and visual alarm alerts staff. At this time, staff unlock the battery pallet 12 and use a forklift to promptly remove the abnormal lithium battery, quickly handling the abnormal battery. This solution can predict potential battery fire risks in advance, quickly handle abnormal batteries, reduce the affected area of ​​the warehouse, and mitigate the impact of a fire. It solves the safety problems of slow handling speed and difficulty in disassembling and transporting batteries when they are abnormal, which can lead to battery fires, explosions, or even chain reactions.

[0069] According to another specific embodiment of this application, a battery logistics pallet management system is provided. The management system is used to manage the battery logistics pallets in the above embodiment. The management system includes an information acquisition module and a generation module. The information acquisition module is used to collect the operating condition information of each battery logistics pallet. The operating condition information includes battery status information and pallet location information. The battery status information includes at least battery normal status information and battery abnormal status information. The generation module is used to generate a prompt message when receiving battery abnormal status information. The prompt message is used to prompt the user about the pallet location information of the battery logistics pallet in the abnormal state.

[0070] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the management system can collect the operating status information of multiple batteries in a timely manner and notify the operator of the location of the abnormal battery when the battery temperature is abnormal. This facilitates the operator to quickly and timely handle the abnormal battery, effectively reduce fire accidents, ensure the safety of battery storage, and improve the convenience and flexibility of battery storage operations and emergency response.

[0071] Furthermore, the operating condition information further includes battery attribute information, battery storage location information, and battery temperature information. The management system further includes a display module, which is used to display the operating condition information of each battery logistics tray. By setting up the display module, it is convenient for operators to obtain the operating condition information of each battery, achieving the purpose of real-time detection and management of the battery.

[0072] As Figure 3 shown, the present application also provides a preferred embodiment of a management system for a battery logistics tray. The management system includes a central management terminal and an administrator personal terminal. The main functions of the management system are to store power lithium battery data, visualize battery status, prompt and alarm abnormal battery status information, and link with the tray assembly 1 for fire prevention and extinguishing. For example, the battery temperature information and ambient temperature information collected by the temperature detector 4 are transmitted to the central management terminal and the administrator personal terminal through the battery management controller 6 for visual management by the management personnel.

[0073] It should be noted that Figure 3 the battery end in [[ ]] refers to the tray assembly 1 and each component arranged on the tray assembly 1.

[0074] Specifically, the central management terminal is used to store the basic attribute data, storage location information, and dynamic temperature data of the power lithium battery, and visually display the data and prompt and alarm when the battery status is abnormal, so that relevant operators can manage. Among them, the basic attribute data includes the battery production date, battery specifications, etc., the storage location information includes the specific location area information where the battery is stored in the warehouse, and the dynamic temperature data includes the power lithium battery temperature and status data transmitted from each temperature detector 4.

[0075] Optionally, the central management terminal is connected to each module, and sends a fire prevention and extinguishing instruction, alarms and prompts the abnormal status information and location information of the abnormal battery when the power lithium battery status is abnormal.

[0076] Specifically, the administrator personal terminal is used to provide a convenient visual service for the management personnel to detect the battery temperature status in real time. The administrator can view the real-time status information of each battery; when the battery status is abnormal, the administrator personal terminal will receive an information prompt, reporting the abnormal battery status and the storage location, so as to facilitate the administrator to process the abnormal battery in time. Preferably, the administrator personal terminal is set on terminals such as the mobile phone, tablet, and computer of the management personnel, which is convenient for the management personnel to detect the power lithium battery status information, abnormal information, and alarm information. In this embodiment, the central management terminal and the administrator personal terminal are data-interconnected.

[0077] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
