[0031] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in conjunction with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , a dual fire extinguishing outdoor energy storage cabinet, including an electrical compartment and a battery compartment;

[0033] The electrical cabin is equipped with a main control box, a fire control box, a cabin-level fire extinguishing tank and a package-level fire extinguishing tank, and the fire control box is control-connected with the cabin-level fire extinguishing tank and the package-level fire extinguishing tank, and the main control box is communicatively connected with the fire control box;

[0034] A plurality of battery packs are installed in the battery compartment, and each of the battery packs is provided with a temperature sampling point that is communicatively connected to the main control box, and a fire detector that is communicatively connected to the fire control box is installed below the top of the battery compartment;

[0035] The cabin-level fire extinguishing tank is introduced into the battery cabin through a first fire-fighting pipe, and the pack-level fire extinguishing tank is introduced into the multiple battery packs through a second fire-fighting pipe.

[0036] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effects of the utility model are: providing a dual fire-fighting outdoor energy storage cabinet, by dividing the energy storage cabinet into an electrical compartment and a battery compartment, the battery pack that is prone to thermal runaway is arranged in a separate compartment from the main control box, and a fire control box for fire control and a cabin-level fire extinguishing tank and a pack-level fire extinguishing tank for spraying fire extinguishing agent are added to the electrical compartment, and a fire detector for detecting and triggering a fire signal is arranged in the battery compartment, so that when a fire signal is detected in the battery compartment, the alarm of the fire controller in the electrical compartment can be triggered, and the main control box sends a cabin-level fire command to the fire control box, and the fire control box controls the cabin-level extinguishing The fire extinguishing agent is sprayed from the fire can and passed into the battery compartment through the first fire pipe to extinguish the fire for the battery compartment as a whole, so as to prevent the open fire in the compartment from overflowing and endangering the equipment and surrounding personnel and facilities; at the same time, each battery pack in the battery compartment is provided with a temperature sampling point, so that the main control box can monitor the temperature of each battery pack in real time. When the temperature of a battery pack exceeds the threshold, the main control box can send a package-level fire command to the fire control box, and the fire control box controls the package-level fire extinguishing can to spray the fire extinguishing agent and pass it into the corresponding thermal runaway battery pack through the second fire pipe to extinguish the fire, effectively and accurately controlling the thermal runaway of the battery cell from the source without causing heat spread. That is, through the dual fire protection at the cabin level and the battery pack level, the heat spread of the thermal runaway of the energy storage cabinet is effectively and accurately controlled, thereby improving the safety of the energy storage cabinet.

[0037] Furthermore, the main control box includes an energy management system EMS and a battery management system BMS;

[0038] The energy management system EMS is communicatively connected to the fire control box, and the battery management system BMS is communicatively connected to the energy management system EMS and the temperature sampling point.

[0039] From the above description, it can be seen that the energy management system EMS can be used to send corresponding fire control instructions to the fire control box to control the cabin-level fire extinguishing tank or the pack-level fire extinguishing tank to spray fire extinguishing agent for fire extinguishing when receiving the battery compartment fault signal fed back by the fire control box, that is, the thermal runaway detected by the fire detector, and the battery pack fault signal reported by the battery management system BMS, that is, when the temperature of the temperature sampling point exceeds the warning value. The battery management system BMS manages the battery pack in a unified manner and can obtain the status of each battery pack in time to monitor thermal runaway in time.

[0040] Furthermore, the fire detector includes a smoke detector and a temperature detector.

[0041] From the above description, it can be seen that through the dual detection of smoke detectors and temperature detectors, when the signal detected by one of the detectors exceeds the fault threshold, it means that there is a risk of thermal runaway at this moment, then a single fire alarm signal is triggered, and the fire control box outputs the single fire alarm signal to the main control box, and the staff conducts troubleshooting; and when the signals detected by the two detectors exceed the fault threshold, it means that thermal runaway has occurred at this moment, then the second-level fire alarm signal is triggered, and the fire control box also outputs the second-level fire alarm signal to the main control box, and the main control box sends a cabin-level fire extinguishing signal to the fire control box, so that the fire control box controls the cabin-level fire extinguishing tank to release the fire extinguishing agent into the battery compartment for fire fighting. At the same time, the main control box can also lower the high voltage of the entire system of the energy storage cabinet, cut off the power supply, avoid further development of thermal runaway, and ensure the safety of the energy storage cabinet.

[0042] Furthermore, the cabin-level fire extinguishing tank and the package-level fire extinguishing tank are both perfluorohexanone bottles.

It can effectively and timely extinguish fires through the mechanisms of cooling, isolating oxygen, and chemical inhibition, thereby improving the safety of energy storage cabinets.

[0044] Furthermore, a cabin-level fire sprinkler is provided at one end of the first fire-fighting pipe located in the battery compartment, and a pack-level fire sprinkler is provided at one end of the second fire-fighting pipe located in the battery pack.

[0045] From the above description, it can be seen that adding fire sprinklers can effectively increase the spray pressure of the fire extinguishing agent in the fire extinguishing tank, further improving the fire extinguishing effect. At the same time, the second fire pipe in each battery pack is equipped with a fire sprinkler, which can realize separate fire extinguishing control for the battery pack with thermal runaway without affecting other normal battery packs, further improving the pack-level fire extinguishing effect.

[0046] Further, the fire control box includes a fire controller, a first input-output module, a second input-output module, a third input-output module and an isolation module;

[0047] The first input-output module, the second input-output module, the third input-output module and the isolation module are all connected in series to the fire controller, and the first input-output module is electrically connected to the fire detector, the second input-output module is electrically connected to the cabin-level fire extinguishing tank, and the third input-output module is electrically connected to the package-level fire extinguishing tank;

[0048] The cabin-level fire extinguishing tank and the package-level fire extinguishing tank are also connected in parallel to the fire controller.

[0049] As can be seen from the above description, the input and output module can monitor the normally open and normally closed point states of the connected detectors. When the output state of the access point changes, the input and output module can directly send a "status" signal to the fire controller, and locate the abnormal / fault position through addressing; wherein the first input and output module is connected to the fire detector, and when the fire fault output state of the monitoring loop changes, it outputs 24V power supply, thereby performing a cabin-level fire alarm; the second input and output module is connected to the cabin-level fire extinguishing tank, and when the first input and output module detects the fire fault output state, the control signal of the fire controller is output to the cabin-level fire extinguishing tank to release the fire extinguishing agent to extinguish the fire in the battery compartment; the third input and output module is connected to the pack-level fire extinguishing tank, and when the main control box collects the thermal runaway signal fed back from the temperature sampling point of the battery pack, the control signal of the fire controller is output to the pack-level fire extinguishing tank to release the fire extinguishing agent to extinguish the fire in the battery pack; at the same time, the isolation module can isolate the short circuit from the entire system, ensure the normal operation of other equipment in the energy storage cabinet, and provide the function of helping to locate the faulty equipment and automatically recovering after the fault is restored, so as to further improve the safety of the energy storage cabinet.

[0050] Furthermore, an audible and visual alarm is installed in the battery compartment;

[0051] The sound and light alarm is control-connected to the fire control box.

[0052] As can be seen from the above description, the sound and light alarm can give sound and light alarms and promptly notify the staff to solve the fault.

[0053] Furthermore, the fire control box also includes a fire control panel.

[0054] From the above description, it can be seen that the fire control panel can facilitate the staff to check faults and control manual fire extinguishing, thereby improving the functionality of the energy storage cabinet.

[0055] Furthermore, the fire control box is connected to the main control box via RS485 communication.

[0056] From the above description, it can be seen that RS485 communication is used between the fire control box and the main control box to ensure signal transmission efficiency, so as to ensure timely and effective fire extinguishing under thermal runaway.

[0057] Furthermore, a liquid cooling unit is installed in the electrical compartment, and a liquid cooling pipe is arranged in each battery pack;

[0058] The liquid cooling unit is control-connected to the main control box, and the liquid cooling pipes in the plurality of battery packs are all connected to the water inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling unit.

[0059] From the above description, it can be seen that adding a liquid cooling unit and liquid cooling pipes to liquid-cool the battery pack can reduce the risk of thermal runaway of the battery pack and further improve the safety of the outdoor energy storage cabinet system.
