Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This invention provides a technical solution: an electric vehicle protective structure based on metal mesh fire-resistant technology, including a protective box 1. The inner wall of the left side of the protective box 1 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sealing cover 2. Fixing plates 3 are provided on both the front and back of the protective box 1. A guide post 4 is provided on the top of the fixing plate 3.

The outer wall of the positioning rod 7 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the unlocking component 8. The inner wall of the unlocking component 8 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide post 4. When the unlocking component 8 slides upward along the guide post 4, it can be inserted into the locking block 5 and unlock the fixing post 6.

The outer wall of the deformation component 9 is movably abutting against the outer wall of the unlocking component 8. A protective component 10 is movably inserted into the interior of the protective box 1. An electric vehicle battery is installed on the inner wall of the protective component 10.
[0020] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the top of the protective box 1 is provided with a sliding groove, and the inner wall of the sliding groove is slidably connected to the outer wall of the deformable component 9. The sliding groove can restrict the sliding path of the deformable component 9.
[0021] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the outer wall of the top of the fixing post 6 is provided with external threads, and the fixing post 6 can be installed on the chassis of the electric vehicle by means of a nut. After the fixing post 6 is unlocked from the locking block 5, the protective box 1 can be detached from the chassis of the electric vehicle.
[0022] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the unlocking component 8 includes a guide plate 801, a wedge plate 802, a lifting plate 803, and a plug-in block 804. The guide plate 801 has a positioning groove inside, and the inner wall of the positioning groove is slidably connected to the outer wall of the positioning rod 7. One side of the guide plate 801 is fixedly connected to one side of the wedge plate 802, and the front of the bottom of the guide plate 801 is fixedly connected to the back of the lifting plate 803. The inner walls on both sides of the lifting plate 803 have guide openings, and the inner walls of the guide openings are movably sleeved with the outer wall of the guide post 4. The top of the lifting plate 803 at the edge of the guide opening is fixedly connected to the bottom of the plug-in block 804. The wedge plate 802 drives the guide plate 801 to move. Under the positioning action of the positioning rod 7, the guide plate 801 drives the lifting plate 803 to move upward. After the lifting plate 803 moves upward, it will drive the plug-in block 804 to insert into the locking block 5.
[0023] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the plug-in block 804 is a conical block, and after the plug-in block 804 rises along the guide post 4, it can be inserted into the locking block 5, causing the fixing post 6 to disengage from the locking block 5. After the plug-in block 804 is inserted into the locking block 5, the fixing post 6 is unlocked from the locking block 5. After the fixing post 6 disengages from the locking block 5, the protective box 1 is disengaged from the chassis of the car.
[0024] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the deformable component 9 includes a sliding block 901, a fixed plate 902, a return spring 903, a trigger block 904, and a hot melt block 905. The outer wall of the sliding block 901 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, and the top of the sliding block 901 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 902. One side of the fixed plate 902 is fixedly connected to one end of the return spring 903, and one side of the fixed plate 902 is fixedly connected to one side of the trigger block 904. The left side of the trigger block 904 is movably abutting against the right side of the hot melt block 905, and the bottom of the hot melt block 905 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective box 1. Heat will act on the hot melt block 905, causing the hot melt block 905 to melt and unlock the trigger block 904. The return spring 903 begins to reset and contract and suddenly drives the fixed plate 902 to slide. The fixed plate 902 slides along the sliding groove under the guidance of the sliding block 901. The fixed plate 902 slides through the trigger block 904. After the trigger block 904 abuts against the wedge plate 802.
[0025] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the hot melt block 905 is made of ethylene-vinyl acetate material. When the hot melt block 905 is heated and melted, it can unlock the trigger block 904.
[0026] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a wedge-shaped block is provided on the left side of the trigger block 904 away from the fixed plate 902, and the trigger block 904 can lift the wedge plate 802 through the wedge block.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the protective component 10 includes a flame-retardant layer 1001, a flame-retardant cover 1002, a protective net 1003, and a protective cover 1004. The flame-retardant cover 1002 is movably inserted into the inner wall on the left side of the flame-retardant layer 1001, and the protective net 1003 is movably inserted into the inner wall on the left side of the protective net 1003. The protective cover 1004 is movably inserted into the inner wall on the left side of the protective net 1003, and an electric vehicle battery is installed inside the protective net 1003. The protective net 1003 and the protective cover 1004 can significantly extend the driver's escape time, while the flame-retardant layer 1001 and the flame-retardant cover 1002 can further extend the escape time.
[0028] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 5As shown, both the flame-retardant layer 1001 and the flame-retardant cover 1002 are supported by fireproof cotton, and both the protective net 1003 and the protective cover 1004 are made of metal mesh, cold-rolled steel plate and aluminum plate composite. The composite manufacturing sequence of the protective net 1003 and the protective cover 1004 is from aluminum plate close to the battery to cold-rolled steel plate to metal mesh. The fire-resistant technology of metal mesh mainly uses thermal conductivity to reduce the flame temperature, thereby preventing explosion and flame spread. The aforementioned composite manufacturing sequence can maximize the driver's escape time.
[0029] The method of use and advantages of this invention: The working process of this electric vehicle protection structure based on metal mesh fire-resistant technology is as follows: like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the metal mesh fire-resistant technology mainly uses thermal conductivity to reduce the flame temperature, thereby preventing explosion and flame spread. After the battery explodes, the heat is conducted through the protective mesh 1003 and the protective cover 1004 to the flame-retardant layer 1001 and the flame-retardant cover 1002. The protective mesh 1003 and the protective cover 1004, made of aluminum plate, cold-rolled steel plate and metal mesh, can significantly extend the driver's escape time. At the same time, the flame-retardant layer 1001 and the flame-retardant cover 1002 can further extend the escape time. When heat is conducted from the flame-retardant layer 1001 and flame-retardant cover 1002 to the protective box 1, the heat acts on the hot melt block 905, causing the hot melt block 905 to melt and the trigger block 904 to unlock. The reset spring 903 begins to reset and contract, and suddenly drives the fixed plate 902 to slide. Under the guidance of the sliding block 901, the fixed plate 902 slides along the sliding groove. The fixed plate 902 slides through the trigger block 904. After the trigger block 904 abuts against the wedge plate 802, the wedge plate 802 drives the guide plate 801 to move. Under the positioning action of the positioning rod 7, the guide plate 801 drives the lifting plate 803 to move upward. After the lifting plate 803 moves upward, it will drive the plug block 804 to insert into the locking block 5. After the plug block 804 is inserted into the locking block 5, the fixing post 6 is unlocked from the locking block 5. After the fixing post 6 is released from the locking block 5, the protective box 1 is released from the chassis of the car.
