As Figure 1 shown, the protection device at least includes: a battery compartment 100, a detection mechanism, a gas diffusion mechanism, and a control mechanism.

[0043] Among them, the battery compartment 100 is used to store the battery boxes 110, and a plurality of battery boxes 110 are arranged in the battery compartment 100; the monitoring mechanism 111 is used to collect the concentration of combustible gas in the battery box 110, and a monitoring mechanism 111 is arranged in each battery box 110; the gas diffusion mechanism is used to discharge the combustible gas in the battery compartment 100, and the gas diffusion mechanism includes an exhaust device and a spraying device, and an exhaust device and a spraying device are arranged on each battery box 110; the control mechanism is respectively communicatively connected to the monitoring mechanism 111, the exhaust device and the spraying device, and the control mechanism is used for: obtaining the concentration of combustible gas collected by a plurality of monitoring mechanisms 111; determining explosion prevention measures based on a plurality of combustible gas concentration values and a first preset threshold; wherein, when a combustible gas concentration value is greater than the first preset threshold, controlling the exhaust device to start; when a plurality of combustible gas concentration values are all less than the first preset threshold, controlling the exhaust device and the spraying device to start.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, at least one battery box 110 is stored in the battery compartment 100, a monitoring mechanism 111 is arranged in each battery box 110 to collect the concentration of combustible gas in the battery box 110, an exhaust device and a spraying device are arranged above each battery box 110, the exhaust device is used to discharge the combustible gas in the battery compartment 100, the spraying device is used to reduce the concentration value of the combustible gas in the battery compartment 100, the monitoring mechanism 111, the exhaust device and the spraying device are respectively communicatively connected to the control mechanism, the control mechanism receives the concentration values of the combustible gas sent by each monitoring mechanism 111, and compares each concentration value of the combustible gas with the first preset threshold.

If any concentration value of the combustible gas is less than the first preset threshold, controlling the exhaust device and the spraying device to process the combustible gas in the battery compartment 100 so that the concentration of the combustible gas in the battery box 110 reaches the safe concentration value. By collecting the concentration of combustible gas in each battery box 110 through the monitoring mechanism 111 in each battery box 110, the density of the collected data and the detection accuracy are improved; according to the concentration value of the combustible gas in the battery compartment 100, different exhaust methods are determined, effectively preventing the accumulation of combustible gas and reducing the risk of explosion accidents.

[0045] In an alternative embodiment, the exhaust device includes an integrated hood 210, an exhaust fan 230 and an air duct 220. One end of the integrated hood 210 is provided with an opening, the opening faces the top surface of the battery box 110, and the area of the opening is not less than the top area of the battery box 110. The other end of the integrated hood 210 is communicated with the air duct 220, and the exhaust fan 230 is arranged in the air duct 220.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2As shown, the integrated cover 210 is located above the battery box 110. The opening of the integrated cover 210 faces the top surface of the battery box 110, and the area of the opening is not less than the top area of the battery box 110, so as to output the combustible gas overflowing from the battery box 110 to the outside of the battery compartment 100 through the exhaust fan 230 and the air duct 220. By recovering the combustible gas overflowing from each battery box 110 through each exhaust device, the accumulation of combustible gas is effectively prevented, and the risk of explosion accidents is reduced.

[0047] In an alternative embodiment, the spraying device includes: a spray head 240, a water tank, and a spray pump. The spray head 240 is located above the battery box 110, and the water outlet of the spray head 240 faces the battery box 110.

The low-concentration sodium hydroxide liquid in the water tank is sprayed onto the outer surface of the battery box 110 through the spray head 240 and the spray pump, so as to reduce the concentration of combustible gas in the battery compartment 100.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, the monitoring mechanism 111 can adopt a combustible gas detection sensor.

[0050] In an alternative embodiment, the protection device further includes an inflation mechanism for inputting gas into the battery compartment 100 to form a pressure difference between the internal pressure value and the external pressure value of the battery compartment 100, preventing external combustible gas from entering the battery compartment 100 through the exhaust device. Among them, the gas input into the battery compartment 100 by the inflation mechanism can be compressed air or inert gas.

[0051] In an alternative embodiment, the protection device further includes a battery replacement execution mechanism for replacing the battery box 110; the battery replacement execution mechanism is communicatively connected to the control mechanism, and the control mechanism is further configured to: obtain the working state of the battery replacement execution mechanism; determine explosion protection measures based on the working state of the battery replacement execution mechanism and multiple combustible gas concentration values. Among them, when the battery replacement execution mechanism is in a non-working state and a combustible gas concentration value reaches a first preset threshold, the power supply of the battery replacement execution mechanism is controlled to be in a power-off state; when the battery replacement execution mechanism is in a working state and a combustible gas concentration value is greater than the first preset threshold, the gas diffusion mechanism is controlled to start.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, when any detected combustible gas concentration value reaches the first preset threshold and the battery replacement actuator does not perform a battery replacement operation on the battery box 110 in the battery compartment 100, the control mechanism controls the power supply of the battery replacement actuator to be in a power-off state; when any detected combustible gas concentration value reaches the first preset threshold and the battery replacement actuator is performing a battery replacement operation on the battery box 110 in the battery compartment 100, the control mechanism controls the exhaust device and / or the spraying device to process the combustible gas in the battery compartment 100. By determining the working state of the battery replacement actuator to determine different explosion protection methods, the normal operation and protection of the battery box 110 in the battery compartment 100 can be ensured, and the cost and the space of the battery compartment 100 can be saved.

[0053] In an alternative embodiment, the control mechanism is further configured to: when a combustible gas concentration value is greater than a second preset threshold, update the frequency at which the monitoring mechanism 111 collects the combustible gas concentration in the battery box 110.

[0054] In the present application, when any combustible gas concentration value is greater than the second preset threshold, the control mechanism increases the frequency of controlling the monitoring mechanism 111 to collect the combustible gas concentration, so as to improve the monitoring accuracy and real-time performance.

[0055] Further, the first preset threshold is 20% of the lower explosion concentration limit, and the second preset threshold is 10% of the lower explosion concentration limit.

[0056] In an alternative embodiment, the control mechanism is further configured to: determine explosion protection measures based on a plurality of combustible gas concentration values and the first preset threshold; wherein, when a combustible gas concentration value is greater than the first preset threshold, control the exhaust device to start; when a plurality of combustible gas concentration values are all less than the first preset threshold, control the exhaust device and the spraying device to start.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, when any combustible gas concentration value exceeds 20% of the lower explosion concentration limit, the control mechanism controls the exhaust device to start, so as to output the combustible gas inside the battery compartment to the outside of the battery compartment through the exhaust device; when each combustible gas concentration value is less than 20% of the lower explosion concentration limit, the control mechanism controls the spraying device to start, so as to reduce the combustible gas concentration in the battery box through the exhaust device and the spraying device; wherein, the air extraction volume of the exhaust fan is controlled by the PID control method, which can not only ensure that the combustible gas concentration value is controlled within 20% of the lower explosion concentration limit, but also reduce the energy consumption of the continuous operation of the exhaust fan. The expression of the PID control method is:

[0058] S = K p ×N c +K i ×L c ×T + K d ×V r

[0059] In the formula, S is the speed of the exhaust fan; K p is the response speed coefficient; N c is the concentration difference; K i is the steady-state error elimination coefficient; L c is the sum of the cumulative concentration differences; T is the time for collecting the combustible gas concentration value; K d is the mutation suppression coefficient; V r is the concentration change rate.

[0060] Among them, the response speed coefficient K p is generally 1.5; the steady-state error elimination coefficient K i is generally 0.1; the mutation suppression coefficient is generally 0.3; the concentration difference N is obtained by the difference between the current combustible gas concentration value and 20% of the lower explosion limit concentration; c ; the concentration change rate V r can be obtained by dividing the difference between the previous concentration difference and the current concentration difference by the time for collecting the combustible gas concentration value.

[0061] Further, when reducing the combustible gas concentration value in the battery box 110 through the exhaust device and / or the spraying device, and the combustible gas concentration value in the battery box 110 keeps rising at a speed of 1% while the combustible gas concentration value reaches 100% of the lower explosion limit concentration, the control mechanism automatically cuts off the power supply of other devices in the battery compartment 100 except the exhaust device and the spraying device, and issues an audible and visual alarm to remind the relevant staff to handle it.

[0062] Figure 3 is a schematic flow chart of a protection method for a ship battery compartment device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 3 shown, this method is applied to the control mechanism in the protection device of the above-mentioned ship battery compartment device, and this method includes the following steps:

[0063] Step 310, obtaining the combustible gas concentration collected by multiple monitoring mechanisms;

[0064] Step 320, determining explosion protection measures based on multiple said combustible gas concentration values and a first preset threshold; wherein, when one said combustible gas concentration value is greater than the first preset threshold, controlling the exhaust device to start; when multiple said combustible gas concentration values are all less than the first preset threshold, controlling the exhaust device and the spraying device to start.

[0065] In an alternative embodiment, when one said combustible gas concentration value is greater than the first preset threshold and controlling the exhaust device to start, it further includes:

[0066] Obtaining a combustible gas concentration difference based on the current said combustible gas concentration value and the first preset threshold;

[0067] Based on the historical difference in the concentration of combustible gas, obtain the cumulative difference in the concentration of combustible gas;

[0068] Based on the previous difference in the concentration of combustible gas, the current difference in the concentration of combustible gas, and the period for collecting the concentration value of the combustible gas, obtain the change rate of the concentration of combustible gas;

[0069] Based on the difference in the concentration of combustible gas, the cumulative difference in the concentration of combustible gas, and the change rate of the concentration of combustible gas, determine the rotational speed of the exhaust fan in the exhaust equipment.

[0070] In an alternative embodiment, the method further includes:

[0071] When multiple concentration values of the combustible gas are all less than a second preset threshold, control the exhaust equipment and / or the spraying equipment to stop working.

[0072] In an alternative embodiment, the method further includes:

[0073] When the battery swapping actuator is in a non-operating state and one concentration value of the combustible gas is greater than a first preset threshold, then control the power supply of the battery swapping actuator to be in a power-off state;

[0074] When the battery swapping actuator is in an operating state and one concentration value of the combustible gas is greater than a first preset threshold, then control the gas diffusion mechanism to start.

[0075] In the present application, the control mechanism in the protection device of the ship battery compartment equipment performs the explosion-proof process on the battery compartment equipment as follows:

[0076] First, obtain the concentration value of the combustible gas in each battery box collected by the monitoring mechanism and obtain the working state of the battery swapping actuator;

[0077] Second, determine whether each concentration value of the combustible gas exceeds 10% of the lower explosion limit. If so, increase the frequency of collecting the concentration value of the combustible gas by the monitoring mechanism; when any concentration value of the combustible gas exceeds 20% of the lower explosion limit and the battery swapping actuator is in a non-operating state, then cut off the power supply of the battery swapping actuator to make the battery swapping mechanism in a power-off state; when any concentration value of the combustible gas exceeds 20% of the lower explosion limit and the battery swapping actuator is in an operating state, then control the exhaust equipment to start, and determine the air extraction volume of the exhaust fan through the PID control method to reduce the concentration of the combustible gas in the battery box to 20% of the lower explosion limit; wherein, the expression of the PID control method is:

[0078] S = K p ×N c +K i ×L c ×T + Kd ×V r

[0079] where S is the speed of the exhaust fan; K p is the response speed coefficient; N c is the concentration difference; K i is the steady-state error elimination coefficient; L c is the sum of the cumulative concentration differences; T is the time for collecting the concentration value of the combustible gas; K d is the mutation suppression coefficient; V r is the concentration change rate;

[0080] Then, when the concentration values of the combustible gas in each battery box are all lower than 20% of the lower explosion limit concentration, control the spray device to start, and simultaneously reduce the concentration value of the combustible gas in the battery box through the exhaust device and the spray device until the concentration value of the combustible gas in the battery box is less than 10% of the lower explosion limit concentration, and then control the exhaust device and the spray device to stop working.

[0081] Furthermore, when starting the exhaust device and / or the spray device to reduce the concentration value of the combustible gas in the battery box, if the concentration of the combustible gas never decreases and keeps increasing by 1% while the concentration of the combustible gas reaches 100% of the lower explosion limit concentration, then cut off all electrical devices except the exhaust device and the spray device, and simultaneously trigger an audible and visual alarm to remind the relevant staff.
