Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of energy storage device testing in a power grid system, and in particular relates to an explosion-proof fire-extinguishing device for short-circuit testing of a lithium battery. Background Art

[0002] Lithium batteries play an important role in power grids and power systems, and the stability of lithium batteries also has a significant impact on the operation of the power grid. The working principle of the battery short-circuit test is mainly to generate a large current by directly short-circuiting the positive and negative poles of the battery or by introducing a conductive medium inside the battery, so as to detect the short-circuit protection function of the battery and the safety performance during short circuit.

[0003] When a lithium battery is short-circuited, the lithium battery is placed in a test box, and then connected to a cable, and then controlled by a test host to perform a short-circuit test on the lithium battery. However, when the lithium battery is short-circuited, if a fire or even an explosion occurs, the cable connection cannot be disconnected in time, and the speed at which the short circuit occurs is very fast. If it is controlled only by the host, once the control circuit of the host is damaged, the test box or the test host will be burned or even blown up. In addition, the explosion-proof box is only a separate box. When a lithium battery catches fire or explodes seriously, it cannot be effectively and promptly extinguished, which may cause damage to the explosion-proof box at the least, or even blow up the explosion-proof box in severe cases, causing more serious secondary disasters and economic losses.

[0052] refer to Figure 6 The fire extinguisher assembly includes a fire extinguisher frame 502 and a fire extinguisher body, and the fire extinguisher body is plugged into the fire extinguisher frame 502; a fire extinguisher pressure handle 504 is installed on the fire extinguisher body.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lifting assembly includes a lifting rod 511; a lifting slot 510 is opened on the main mounting frame 501, and the lifting rod 511 is slidably installed in the lifting slot 510; a return spring 512 is fixedly installed inside the lifting slot 510, and the other end of the return spring 512 is fixedly connected to the lifting rod 511, and the other end of the lifting rod 511 is connected to the fire extinguisher assembly.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference Figure 8The linkage assembly includes a rotating support rod 604; a support shaft 607 is rotatably installed on the main mounting frame 501, the middle part of the rotating support rod 604 is fixedly installed on the support shaft 607, and push-pull shafts 606 are rotatably installed on both ends of the rotating support rod 604; push-pull grooves 605 are opened on the two blocking boxes 601; the two push-pull shafts 606 are respectively slidably installed in the two push-pull grooves 605; a rotating assembly is installed on the support shaft 607, and the rotating assembly is movably connected to the lower pressure rod 610, and the lower pressure rod 610 is fixedly connected to the fire extinguisher assembly.

[0055] During the implementation, when the lithium battery is short-circuited, the cable body 11 quickly heats up when the battery body 3 is short-circuited; when an unexpected situation such as overheating or fire occurs during the short-circuit test, the heat-conducting wire 509 quickly transfers a large amount of heat to the heat-conducting rod 507, so that the baffle 508 on the heat-conducting plate is softened by heat, so that the fire extinguisher assembly loses the limiting effect of the baffle 508, and the fire extinguisher assembly directly passes through the softened baffle 508; the fire extinguisher assembly moves downward under the action of the lifting assembly;

[0056] Under the pulling force of the return spring 512, the lifting rod 511 moves downward in the lifting slot 510, and the lifting rod 511 drives the fire extinguishing frame 502 to move downward synchronously; in the process of the fire extinguishing frame 502 moving downward, the fire extinguishing frame 502 drives the lower pressure rod 610 to move downward, and the lower pressure rod 610 drives the rotating assembly to rotate; the rotating assembly drives the rotating support rod 604 to rotate; one push-pull shaft 606 moves upward from the middle in the push-pull slot 605, and the other push-pull shaft 606 moves downward from the middle in the push-pull slot 605, driving the two blocking boxes 601 to move toward each other, and the blocking box 601 quickly seals the battery body 3; when the fire moves outward after the battery body 3 catches fire or the battery body 3 explodes, the fire and explosion can be blocked to avoid damage to the test box 2.

[0057] And in the process of the fire extinguishing rack 502 continuously moving downward, the two fire extinguisher bodies 503 enter the blocking box 601, and at the same time, the fire extinguisher pressure handle 504 is triggered by the squeezing of the blocking box 601, so that the fire extinguisher body 503 (which can be a model ABC-4 dry powder fire extinguisher, and the specific capacity of the fire extinguisher can be selected according to the actual use environment) can quickly spray out fire extinguishing materials to extinguish the battery body 3, thereby avoiding the expansion of the fire and causing chain disasters; at the same time, the upward moving end of the push-pull shaft 606 in the rotating support rod 604 will drive the main unit separation component 7 to unlock; thereby, the test host 1 can be separated from the test box 2 to protect the test host 1.

[0058] In the present application, when the battery body 3 is overheated or on fire during a short-circuit test, the heat is transferred to the baffle 508 through the heat-conducting rod 507, so that the baffle 508 is softened by the heat and the fire extinguisher assembly loses its limiting support and moves downward. While the fire extinguisher assembly moves downward to extinguish the fire of the battery body 3, it drives the blocking box 601 to merge and seal the battery body 3, thereby preventing the expansion of the fire and causing chain disasters.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference Fig.10 The rotating assembly includes a driving gear 608, which is fixedly connected to the support shaft 607; a rack rack 609 is slidably mounted on the main mounting frame 501, and the rack rack 609 is meshed with the driving gear 608.

[0060] A sliding block 613 is installed on one side of the rack frame 609 ; the sliding block 613 is slidably installed on the main mounting frame 501 .

[0062] During the implementation process, when the lower pressure rod 610 moves downward, the lower pressure rod 610 drives the rack frame 609 to move, and the sliding block 613 moves downward along the main mounting frame 501, and the rack frame 609 drives the gear 608 to rotate, so that the support shaft 607 drives the rotating support rod 604 to rotate, and then the two blocking boxes 601 approach each other to close the battery body 3; when the fire extinguishing frame 502 continues to move downward, the lower pressure rod 610 moves downward in the compression groove 611, so that the supporting spring 612 is compressed, and then after the blocking box 601 is closed, the fire extinguishing frame 502 can still continue to move downward.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, two movable slide grooves 602 are provided on the side wall of the base 10 ; sliding frames 603 are provided on the two blocking boxes 601 , and the two sliding frames 603 are slidably connected in the two movable slide grooves 602 .

[0065] During the implementation process, before the blocking boxes 601 are merged, the two blocking boxes 601 are respectively located at the upper ends of the two support frames 615, and the lifting springs 616 are in a compressed state; when the rotating support rod 604 drives the blocking box 601 to move, the two sliding frames 603 move toward each other in the moving slide groove 602; when the two blocking boxes 601 are merged, the support frames 615 lose their extrusion, and under the elastic force of the lifting springs 616, the two support frames 615 move upward, against the side walls of the blocking box 601, and support the blocking box 601, so that when the battery body 3 explodes, the blocking box 601 can obtain more stable support; greater strength ensures that the blocking box 601 can seal the battery body 3 to avoid spillage of fire or explosion, and further ensure the safety of the use of the test box 2.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting seat 505 is installed on the fire extinguishing frame 502 .

[0067] refer to Figure 7 The end of the connecting cable is connected with a conductive sleeve 506 ; the conductive sleeve 506 passes through the limiting seat 505 and is sleeved on the battery column 4 .

[0068] During the implementation process, the end of the cable body 11 is connected to a conductive sleeve 506, which passes through the limiting seat 505 and is sleeved on the battery column 4; the cable body 11 passes through the limiting seat 505 and is sleeved on the battery column 4 through the conductive sleeve 506, so that the cable body 11 is connected to the battery body 3, and the conductive sleeve 506 is restricted by the limiting seat 505, so that the conductive sleeve 506 can be stably connected to the battery column 4, thereby avoiding the problem of interruption of the short-circuit test due to the cable body 11 falling and losing the connection with the battery column 4.

[0069] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The host separation component 7 includes a plug-in wire 701; the test host 1 is connected with the plug-in wire 701; the test box 2 is installed with a plug-in sleeve 703; the plug connector 702 at the end of the plug-in wire 701 is plugged into the plug-in sleeve 703.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, the host disengagement assembly 7 further includes a locking rod 704 and a locking sleeve 705; the locking rod 704 is installed on the test host 1; the locking sleeve 705 is installed on the test box 2; the locking rod 704 is inserted into the locking sleeve 705;

[0071] The locking rod 704 is provided with a plug-in slot 708 ; the test box 2 is slidably connected with a plug-in rack 710 , which is plugged into the plug-in slot 708 .

[0072] In one embodiment of the present invention, reference Fig.11A pop-up plate 706 is slidably connected inside the locking sleeve 705 , and the pop-up plate 706 contacts the locking rod 704 . A pop-up spring 707 is installed between an end surface of the pop-up plate 706 away from the locking rod 704 and the inner wall of the locking sleeve 705 .

[0073] The test box 2 is provided with a vertical moving groove 709 , and a plug-in frame 710 is slidably installed in the vertical moving groove 709 ; the plug-in frame 710 is in contact with the rotating support rod 604 .

[0074] refer to Figure 1 A roller 9 is installed at the bottom of the test host 1; and a box door 8 is installed on the test box 2.

[0075] During the implementation process, when an accident occurs during the test of the battery body 3, during the merging process of the blocking box 601, the rotating support rod 604 rotates, and the push-pull shaft 606 at one end of the rotating support rod 604 moves upward in the push-pull groove 605, driving the plug-in frame 710 to move upward, and the plug-in frame 710 moves vertically upward in the vertical moving groove 709, so that the plug-in frame 710 is disengaged from the plug-in groove 708; thereby, the locking rod 704 is unlocked; under the rebound of the pop-up spring 707, the pop-up plate 706 is driven to move outward, and the pop-up plate 708 is disengaged. 06 Pop the locking rod 704 out of the locking sleeve 705; under the pop-up force and inertia of the pop-up plate 706, the locking rod 704 drives the test host 1 to detach from the test box 2; the test host 1 slides through multiple rollers 9; the test host 1 moves through the plug-in wire 701 to drive the plug connector 702 to detach from the plug-in sleeve 703, so that the test host 1 is completely separated from the test box 2, thereby avoiding damage to the test host 1 when an unexpected situation occurs during the test of the battery body 3, and protecting the test host 1.

[0076] The specific workflow of the present invention is as follows:

[0077] The cable body 11 passes through the limiting seat 505 through the conductive sleeve 506 and is sleeved on the battery column 4, so that the cable body 11 is connected to the battery body 3. When the battery body 3 is short-circuited, the cable body 11 quickly heats up. However, when an accident such as overheating or fire occurs during the short-circuit test, the heat-conducting wire 509 quickly transfers a large amount of heat to the heat-conducting rod 507, so that the baffle 508 is softened by heat. At this time, under the downward pulling force of the two return springs 512, the lifting rod 511 moves downward in the lifting slot 510, and the movement of the lifting rod 511 drives the fire extinguishing frame 502 to move, and the fire extinguishing frame 502 moves. When the fire extinguisher 502 is in the process of continuously moving downward, the two fire extinguisher bodies 503 are driven to enter the two blocking boxes 601, and the fire extinguisher pressure handle 504 is triggered by the squeezing of the blocking boxes 601, so that the fire extinguisher body 503 can quickly spray out the fire extinguishing material to extinguish the lithium battery, thereby avoiding the expansion of the fire and causing a chain disaster.

[0078] At the same time, after the two blocking boxes 601 are merged, the two support frames 615 are no longer squeezed. At this time, under the resilience of the two lifting springs 616, the two support frames 615 move up and support the blocking box 601, so that the battery body 3 can obtain a more stable support. Even when the explosion power of the lithium battery is large, it can still ensure that the blocking box 601 can seal the lithium battery to avoid the spillage of the fire or explosion, and further ensure the safe use of the test box 2;

[0079] At the same time, the rotating support rod 604 drives the plug-in frame 710 to move during the rotation process. The plug-in frame 710 slides vertically in the vertical moving groove 709, so that the plug-in frame 710 is disengaged from the plug-in groove 708. At this time, the locking rod 704 is unlocked, and the pop-up plate 706 is driven to move under the rebound of the pop-up spring 707. The pop-up plate 706 moves to pop out the locking rod 704, and then under the pop-up force and inertia of the pop-up plate 706, the locking rod 704 drives the test host 1 to disengage from the test box 2; the test host 1 slides through multiple rollers 9, and at the same time, the test host 1 moves through the plug-in wire 701 to drive the plug connector 702 to disengage from the plug-in sleeve 703, so that the test host 1 is completely separated from the test box 2, thereby avoiding the problem of damage to the test host 1 when an accident occurs during the test of the battery body 3.
