[0050] Reference is made to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of an implementation environment of a protection method for a parking space provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1As shown, the implementation environment can include a vehicle 110 and a protection system including a main controller 120, and a charging controller 130 and a fire extinguishing device 140 connected to the main controller 120.

[0051] The vehicle 110 can be a battery electric vehicle (BEV), a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), or the like, which uses a power battery. The protection system is arranged at a parking position of the vehicle 110. When the vehicle 110 is parked at the parking position, a user can use the charging controller 130 to charge the vehicle 110. The fire extinguishing device is used to extinguish the fire of the vehicle 110 in case of fire.

[0052] For example, in the system shown, Figure 1 In the system shown, when the vehicle 110 is at the parking position and the charging controller 130 is in the working state, the charging controller 130 can obtain the battery pack state information of the vehicle 110, the battery pack state information including the voltage and temperature of the battery pack; when the battery pack state information meets the first specified condition, the charging controller 130 can send a first signal to the main controller 120, the first signal being used to indicate that the battery pack of the vehicle 110 is in a thermal runaway state; and when the first signal is received, the main controller 120 can start the fire extinguishing device 140.

[0053] In the embodiments of the present application, the main controller 120 can be installed with a client running a target application. The target application can be an application having the functions of receiving and responding to information of the main controller, sending instructions, etc. The form of the target application is not limited in the present application.

[0054] Optionally, the implementation environment can further include a server. The server can be a physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system formed by multiple physical servers, a cloud platform, a cloud server, a cloud database, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDNs), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms, etc. The cloud server of the big data and artificial intelligence platform can provide artificial intelligence cloud services. The server can be a background server of the target application, used to provide background services for the client of the target application.

[0055] The main controller 120 and the server can be directly or indirectly connected through a communication network (wired network or wireless network), which is not limited in the present application. Optionally, the communication network can be a wired network, such as Ethernet, a diagnostic protocol, or a wireless network, such as a cellular network, satellite communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X). The communication network can be used alone or in combination to provide various data transmission, communication and Internet connection functions for vehicles, thereby realizing more intelligent and convenient driving and riding experience.

[0056] For example, in the system shown in Figure 1 In the system shown, when the first signal is received, the main controller 120 can send an emergency signal to the server, which is used to indicate that the vehicle 110 is in a fire-out state; accordingly, the server can start an emergency mode after receiving the emergency signal; in the emergency mode, the server can automatically dial the fire alarm telephone of the location of the vehicle 110, and send emergency information to the owner of the vehicle 110.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows a flowchart of a protection method for a parking space provided by an example embodiment of the present application. The method can be performed by a protection system, which includes a main controller, and a charging controller and a fire extinguishing device connected to the main controller. Optionally, the protection system can be Figure 1 The protection system in the system shown. As Figure 2 The method can include steps 210, 220 and 230.

[0058] Step 210: When the vehicle is in a parking space and the charging controller is in a working state, obtaining the battery pack state information of the vehicle through the charging controller; the battery pack state information includes the voltage and temperature of the battery pack.

[0059] Wherein, the charging controller in the working state means that the charging gun of the charging controller is in a connected state with the vehicle, indicating that the charging controller is charging the power battery of the vehicle, or the charging controller is charging the power battery of the vehicle within a specified time period, or the charging controller has completed charging the power battery of the vehicle.

[0060] Wherein, the battery management system (BMS) of the battery pack can detect the voltage, temperature and other battery pack state information of the battery pack in real time. When the charging controller is in a working state, the charging controller can collect the battery pack state information in real time through the controller area network (CAN) bus.

[0061] In the embodiments of the application, the voltage, temperature and other information of the battery pack are detected by the charging controller, which can prevent overcharging of the battery, avoid damage to the battery or cause a fire, and also can timely find the overheat condition of the battery.

[0062] Step 220: In the case that the battery pack state information meets the first specified condition, a first signal is sent to the main controller by the charging controller; the first signal is used to indicate that the battery pack of the vehicle is in an abnormal state.

[0063] The first specified condition can be set by the developer in advance, which is used to indicate the condition of the battery pack of the vehicle in an abnormal state. For example, the battery pack state information meeting the first specified condition can be that the voltage of the battery pack meets the first specified range, and the temperature of the battery pack meets the second specified range.

[0064] The abnormal state of the battery pack can be a thermal runaway state. Thermal runaway refers to a rapid increase in the internal temperature of the battery, which causes the chemical reaction inside the battery to accelerate, further generating more heat, forming a vicious cycle, and eventually leading to explosion.

[0065] The charging controller can exchange data with the main controller through the CAN bus.

[0066] Optionally, in the case that the battery pack state information meets the first specified condition, the charging controller can be disconnected from the vehicle.

[0067] Step 230: In the case that the first signal is received, the main controller starts the fire extinguishing device.

[0068] The fire extinguishing device is used to extinguish the fire of the vehicle.

[0069] For example, the fire extinguishing device can include one or more of the following devices: dry powder fire extinguishing device, carbon dioxide fire extinguishing device, water-based fire extinguishing device, aerosol fire extinguishing device, liquid nitrogen fire extinguishing device, foam fire extinguishing device, gas fire extinguishing device, automatic water spray fire extinguishing device, chemical fire extinguishing device, water mist fire extinguishing device, and gas inerting device.

[0070] In summary, the scheme shown in the embodiments of the application can provide a safety protection function for the vehicle. During the charging of the vehicle, the protection system can monitor the state of the battery pack in real time. Once the battery pack is abnormal, the protection system can start the fire extinguishing device to extinguish the fire source in time. That is, the scheme can provide protection for the vehicle charging in the parking space, and can provide timely remedial measures in the case of battery pack fire, reduce the spread of the fire, and thus improve the safety of the vehicle and the parking space.

[0071] Based on the above Figure 2 In a possible implementation, the protection system further comprises a smoke sensor connected to the main controller; please refer to Figure 3 Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of a protection method for a parking space according to an example embodiment of the present application. As shown in Fig. 1, the protection method for a parking space can comprise the following steps. Figure 3 As shown in Fig. 2, the protection method for a parking space can further comprise steps 240, 250 and 260.

[0072] Step 240: When the vehicle is in the parking space, the smoke concentration and the smoke concentration rising rate of the parking space are obtained by the smoke sensor.

[0073] Step 250: When the smoke concentration meets the second specified condition or the smoke concentration rising rate meets the third specified condition, the second signal is sent to the main controller by the smoke sensor; the second signal is used to indicate that the smoke concentration of the parking space is in an abnormal state.

[0074] Step 260: When the second signal is received, the fire extinguishing device is started by the main controller.

[0075] The smoke sensor is a device for detecting the smoke concentration in the environment. For example, the smoke sensor can include one or more of the following:

[0076] Photoelectric smoke sensor: the smoke concentration is determined by detecting the degree of obstruction of the light beam;

[0077] Ion type smoke sensor: the smoke concentration is determined by detecting the change of ion current;

[0078] Semiconductor smoke sensor: the smoke concentration is determined by detecting the change of resistance.

[0079] The smoke concentration rising rate can be the change amount of the smoke concentration per unit time. For example, the smoke concentration rising rate can be calculated by the following steps:

[0080] Timestamp recording: record the timestamp of each reading of the smoke concentration;

[0081] Calculate the concentration difference ΔC: calculate the difference between the smoke concentrations of adjacent two readings;

[0082] Calculate the time difference ΔT: calculate the time difference between adjacent two readings;

[0083] The smoke concentration rising rate is calculated using the following formula:

[0084]

[0085] Optionally, the smoke sensor can be arranged on the ground area of the parking space, and the position of the battery pack is opposite to the position of the vehicle when the vehicle is parked in the parking space.

[0086] The second specified condition and the third specified condition can be set by the developer in advance, and are used to indicate the condition that the smoke concentration of the parking space is in an abnormal state. For example, the smoke concentration satisfying the second specified condition can be that the smoke concentration reaches 5000 μg / m 3 .

[0087] In the embodiments of the present application, the protection system can also provide safety protection when the vehicle is parked in the parking space. When the battery pack catches fire, the smoke concentration at the position of the battery pack is high. The present scheme can detect the smoke concentration of the battery pack in real time, and can provide timely remedial measures when the battery pack catches fire.

[0088] In a possible implementation, the protection system can further include a communication module connected to the main controller. The communication module is configured to automatically dial an alarm phone and send prompt information to the user of the vehicle to indicate that the vehicle is on fire when the first signal and / or the second signal is received.

[0089] Based on the scheme shown in the above Figure 2 In a possible implementation, the protection system further includes a monitoring device connected to the main controller. The protection method for the parking space further includes:

[0090] The license plate information of the vehicle entering the parking space is obtained through the monitoring device.

[0091] When the license plate information satisfies the fourth specified condition, the main controller controls the fire extinguishing system to be in an unlocked state.

[0092] The license plate information satisfying the fourth specified condition can be that the vehicle is an electric vehicle, or the vehicle can be a vehicle specified for the corresponding parking space.

[0093] The fire extinguishing device is an important protection device. When the vehicle is not parked in the parking space, the fire extinguishing device can be in a locked state, which is used to protect the fire extinguishing device and avoid unnecessary resource waste and false triggering.

[0094] Optionally, the protection system can also provide license plate recognition services for dedicated parking spaces to prevent non-designated vehicles from occupying the dedicated parking spaces. Specifically, the protection system further includes a ground lock device adjacent to the main controller. If the license plate information meets the fourth specified condition, the main control can control the ground lock device to be unlocked, so that the vehicle can be parked in the parking space. If the license plate information does not meet the fourth specified condition, the main control can control the monitoring device to issue a prompt message prompting the vehicle with the license plate information to leave the current parking space.

[0095] According to the license plate recognition, the fire extinguishing system can be unlocked in advance to ensure that it can be quickly started in the event of a fire, thereby reducing the response time.

[0096] Based on the above-mentioned schemes of various embodiments of the present application, in one possible implementation, the fire extinguishing device includes a spraying device and a liquid nitrogen device.

[0097] The spraying device is used to spray water towards the vehicle when the fire extinguishing device is started.

[0098] The liquid nitrogen device is used to spray liquid nitrogen towards the battery pack when the fire extinguishing device is started.

[0099] The spraying device can be arranged at the top area of the parking space, so that the spraying device can spray water towards the on-fire vehicle to extinguish the fire. The spraying device can cover a large area of the fire source, reducing the risk of fire spreading.

[0100] The liquid nitrogen device can be arranged in the underground area of the parking space, and the position of the liquid nitrogen device can correspond to the position of the battery pack when the vehicle is parked in the parking space, so that the liquid nitrogen device can spray liquid nitrogen towards the on-fire battery pack to extinguish the fire. The liquid nitrogen device can quickly reduce the temperature of the battery pack to prevent the chemical reaction inside the battery from continuing, thereby reducing the risk of explosion.

[0101] In the embodiments of the present application, the fire extinguishing device uses the spraying device and the liquid nitrogen device to deal with the on-fire situation of the battery pack by combining two different fire extinguishing media (water and liquid nitrogen). The double fire extinguishing mechanism can improve the fire extinguishing efficiency and reduce the risk of fire.

[0102] Based on the above-mentioned schemes of various embodiments of the present application, in one possible implementation, the liquid nitrogen device includes a liquid nitrogen tank, a protection device, and a lifting device. The protection device is used to protect the liquid nitrogen tank when the vehicle is not in the parking space, and the lifting device is used to lift the liquid nitrogen tank when the fire extinguishing device is started.

[0103] The liquid nitrogen tank is a container for storing liquid nitrogen and can be made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, which has good heat preservation performance. The liquid nitrogen tank is arranged in the protection device.

[0104] The protection device can be a protection cover horizontally arranged on the ground of the parking space, and the liquid nitrogen tank is arranged below the protection cover by the lifting device. In the unlocked state of the fire extinguishing system, the protection cover can be automatically opened, so that the liquid nitrogen tank can quickly spray liquid nitrogen to the battery pack when the fire extinguishing device is started.

[0105] The lifting device is used to control the position of the liquid nitrogen tank. When the fire extinguishing device is started, the lifting device can quickly lift the liquid nitrogen tank so that the liquid nitrogen tank is lifted out of the ground.

[0106] In the embodiments of the present application, the protection device can ensure the safety of the liquid nitrogen tank when the vehicle does not enter the parking space, prevent external factors from damaging the liquid nitrogen tank, and prolong the service life of the liquid nitrogen tank; the lifting device can not only reduce the risk of false triggering of the liquid nitrogen tank when no fire occurs, but also can lift the liquid nitrogen tank when a fire occurs, thereby improving the fire extinguishing efficiency.

[0107] The present application also provides a protection system for a parking space, which can be Figure 1 the protection system in the system shown. The system comprises a main controller, a charging controller and a fire extinguishing device connected to the main controller.

[0108] The charging controller is configured to acquire battery pack state information of the vehicle when the vehicle is in the parking space and the charging controller is in the working state. The battery pack state information comprises voltage and temperature of the battery pack.

[0109] The charging controller is configured to send a first signal to the main controller when the battery pack state information meets a first specified condition. The first signal is used to indicate that the battery pack of the vehicle is in a thermal runaway state.

[0110] The main controller is configured to start the fire extinguishing device when the first signal is received.

[0111] In a possible implementation, the system further comprises a smoke sensor connected to the main controller.

[0112] The smoke sensor is configured to acquire smoke concentration and smoke concentration rising rate of the parking space when the vehicle is in the parking space.

[0113] The smoke sensor is configured to send a second signal to the main controller when the smoke concentration meets a second specified condition or the smoke concentration rising rate meets a third specified condition. The second signal is used to indicate that the smoke concentration of the parking space is in an abnormal state.

[0130] Step 407: In the case that the first signal and / or the second signal is received, the fire extinguishing device is started by the main controller.

[0131] The execution mode of steps 401 to 407 is the same as that of the above-mentioned embodiments of the application, which will not be repeated here.

[0132] With the popularization of electric vehicles, the number of cases of self-ignition and fire of electric vehicles in parking spaces is increasing every year. Due to the lack of timely discovery, the vehicle is burned, and even spreads to the cars parked on the adjacent parking spaces, which causes serious large-scale fire spread out of control, causing immeasurable economic loss and even life danger to the car owner.

[0133] Therefore, the parking space is not only a temporary parking point for the vehicle, and the user hopes that the parking space can have the functions of vehicle identification, vehicle charging, and vehicle protection and monitoring when no one is present. Based on any one or more of the above embodiments, the present embodiment proposes an electric vehicle intelligent parking space for preventing fire and a protection method.

[0134] Please refer to Figure 5 which shows a schematic diagram of an electric vehicle intelligent parking space for preventing fire provided by an example embodiment of the present application. As Figure 5 shown, the intelligent parking space is divided into a main control device (not shown in the figure), and a ground device 501, a monitoring device 502, a smoke sensor 503, a liquid nitrogen device 504, a spray head device 505, and a charging device 506 connected to the main control device.

[0135] The main control device is a total controller of the intelligent parking space, and coordinates the cooperative work of the sensors and other devices. Optionally, the main control device can be integrated with the charging device 506. The ground surface device 501 provides a vehicle parking space and a parking lock. The monitoring device 502 includes an intelligent camera for real-time monitoring of the vehicle state. Optionally, the monitoring device 502 is arranged above the parking space. The smoke sensor 503 is used to sense the smoke condition in the surrounding environment to monitor and warn in real time whether the vehicle in the parking space is on fire. The liquid nitrogen device 504 is used to spray liquid nitrogen on the battery pack under the vehicle to cool and extinguish the fire in time after the vehicle is on fire. Optionally, the smoke sensor 503 and the liquid nitrogen device 504 can be arranged directly below the battery pack when the vehicle is parked in the parking space. The spray head device 505 is used to spray water downward on the electric vehicle through the rain shower head above the parking space to extinguish the fire. Optionally, the spray head device 505 can be arranged at the four corners above the parking space. If the main control device detects a signal that the electric vehicle is on fire during parking, the four spray heads will immediately open to spray water on the electric vehicle to extinguish the fire. The charging device 506 includes a charging pile beside the parking space, which is used to supplement the power of the electric vehicle in time.

[0136] Through the cooperative monitoring of the above-mentioned devices, an intelligent parking space is formed to provide real-time safety protection for the vehicle and prevent further loss of property and life safety of the electric vehicle user.

[0137] Please refer to Figure 6 which shows a schematic diagram of the cooperative work of the devices according to an example embodiment of the present application. As Figure 6 shown, the monitoring device 502 can obtain the license plate information of the vehicle entering the parking space. If the license plate information meets the conditions, the main control device can control the unlocking of the parking lock device, the liquid nitrogen device 504, and the spray head device 505. When the smoke sensor 503 detects that the smoke concentration reaches a threshold value, or when the charging device 506 detects an abnormal state of the battery pack, the main control device can control the liquid nitrogen device 504 to rise above the ground and spray liquid nitrogen, and control the spray head device 505 to spray water to extinguish the fire.

[0138] Please refer to Figure 7 which shows a schematic diagram of the protection method of the electric vehicle intelligent parking space for preventing fire according to an example embodiment of the present application. As Figure 7As shown, the intelligent camera monitors the state of the parking space in real time, and judges whether a vehicle has entered the parking space. In the case where a vehicle has entered the parking space, it is judged whether it is a specified vehicle. The judgment of whether it is a specified vehicle can be a judgment of whether it is an electric vehicle, or it can also be a judgment of whether it is a vehicle with a specified license plate number. In the case where the vehicle is a specified vehicle, the intelligent camera transmits a signal to the master control device, so that the master control device enters a working state, and the master control device controls the ground lock device to automatically descend, so that the vehicle can normally enter the parking space. In the case where the vehicle is not a specified vehicle, the intelligent camera can issue an audible and visual alarm signal to prompt the vehicle to leave the parking space, and the ground lock device maintains a locked state.

[0139] After the master control device enters the working state, it can also unlock the liquid nitrogen device and the spray head device. If the charging device detects a plug-in charging action, the master control device enters a real-time working mode; if there is only parking without plug-in charging action, the master control device enters a timing monitoring mode. After the electric vehicle is plugged in for charging, the charging device can collect and monitor the battery pack state in real time through the CAN line. When a thermal runaway alarm signal is read from the battery pack BMS, the power will be immediately cut off, and a signal will be uploaded to the master control device to control the liquid nitrogen device and the spray head device to work simultaneously to achieve the vehicle fire extinguishing function.

[0140] The liquid nitrogen device includes a safety-protected liquid nitrogen tank and a valve controller. Under normal circumstances, the liquid nitrogen is stored in a safe area below the ground of the parking space. After the vehicle enters the parking space, the master control device controls the liquid nitrogen valve controller to open and prepare for work. After receiving the vehicle danger signal sent by the charging device, the master control device will control the liquid nitrogen device to immediately rise above the ground and open the valve to spray liquid nitrogen towards the vehicle chassis.

[0141] The electric vehicle battery pack is located on the underside of the vehicle chassis, facing the ground. Once an abnormal smoke concentration signal is received from the smoke sensor, or a battery pack danger signal is received from the charging device, the master control device can control the liquid nitrogen device to open and spray liquid nitrogen towards the vehicle battery pack. The evaporation of liquid nitrogen absorbs a large amount of heat, which can rapidly cool the battery pack and control the fire from further spreading. At the same time, the master control device can control the four spray heads of the spray head device to open and spray water towards the electric vehicle to extinguish the fire.
