Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fire extinguishing equipment, in particular to a glass ball spray head. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, when the temperature of the lithium-ion battery cell is too high or the temperature difference is large, the cycle life of the battery cell will be greatly reduced and affect the service life of the energy storage product. In severe cases, it will cause thermal runaway of the battery cell. Once the battery cell has thermal runaway, the battery cell will produce a large amount of flammable gas. When the content of flammable gas reaches a certain concentration, it is easy to explode when encountering a slight spark. In order to prevent the lithium-ion battery in the electric box from thermal runaway and causing an explosion, current technicians generally install glass ball nozzles in the electric box. When the lithium battery has thermal runaway, the thermal glass bubble on the glass ball nozzle will break, thereby conducting the nozzle of the glass ball nozzle and spraying the agent to extinguish the fire.

[0003] However, the inventors have discovered that existing glass ball nozzles are usually installed on the mounting plate of the electrical box using a sleeve-type base, which often makes it impossible for technicians to position the nozzle of the glass ball nozzle directly toward the battery cell, and the nozzle cannot effectively spray the agent into the space, thereby greatly reducing the fire extinguishing efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, the outer contour of the radial cross section of the first connecting portion 11 is in a D-shape.

[0037] Furthermore, it also includes a first nut 3, the first connecting part 11 includes an arcuate outer wall 111, and the arcuate outer wall 111 is provided with a first thread 112 that matches the first nut 3, so that the first nut 3 is threadedly sleeved on the first connecting part 11, and the base 1 is also provided with a limiting part 13 at a position close to the first connecting part 11, the first nut 3 abuts against the side wall of one side of the mounting plate 2, and the limiting part 13 abuts against the side wall of the other side of the mounting plate 2.

[0038] From the above description, it can be seen that the first connection part 11 is set to have a D-shaped outer contour of the radial cross section, and a first thread 112 can be set on the arc-shaped outer wall 111 of the first connection part 11, so that the first nut 3 and the limiting part 13 lock the base 1 on the mounting plate 2.

[0039] In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the first connecting portion 11 can also be fixed to the mounting plate 2 by snap fit or other means.

[0042] Furthermore, the length of the sealing portion 14 is smaller than the thickness of the sealing gasket 4 .

[0043] From the above description, it can be seen that the length of the sealing portion 14 is set to be smaller than the thickness of the sealing gasket 4, which can ensure that after the first nut 3 is locked in place, the sealing gasket 4 is compressed and tightly fitted on the mounting plate 2 under the interference of the limiting portion 13 and the sealing bolt, thereby further improving the sealing performance of the sealing gasket 4.

[0044] Furthermore, it includes a glass ball holder 5, which is provided with a positioning portion 51, and the base 1 is provided with a through hole 12.

[0049] Furthermore, it also includes a joint 6 . The other end of the base 1 is provided with a second connecting portion 15 , and the joint 6 is connected to the second connecting portion 15 .

[0050] It can be seen from the above description that the connector 6 is used to connect the medicine pipeline arranged on the other side of the mounting plate 2.

[0052] From the above description, it can be seen that when the connector 6 is connected to the agent pipeline, the agent pipeline will be pressurized, and a certain air pressure will be formed in the glass ball nozzle. Under the action of the air pressure and the elastic member 9, the plunger rod 8 will tend to move into the battery pack, but due to the presence of the thermosensitive glass bulb, the plunger rod 8 will not continue to move, and the nozzle of the glass ball nozzle will be sealed; when a fire occurs in the battery pack, the temperature in the battery pack rises, and when it reaches the set temperature of the thermosensitive glass bulb, the thermosensitive glass bulb will break and detach from the glass ball holder 5. Under the action of the air pressure and the elastic member 9, the plunger rod 8 will move to one end close to the glass ball holder 5. At this time, the nozzle of the glass ball nozzle is connected to the agent pipeline, and the fire extinguishing agent will be released.

[0058] Preferably, the glass ball nozzle also includes a sealing gasket 4, a sealing portion 14 with a smooth outer wall is provided between the first connecting portion 11 and the limiting portion 13, and the sealing gasket 4 is sleeved on the sealing portion 14. The sealing gasket 4 can improve the fixed sealing between the mounting plate 2 and the glass ball nozzle, wherein the base 1 is provided with a sealing portion 14 with a smooth outer wall so that the sealing gasket 4 can be placed smoothly without any sharp objects blocking the position of the base 1, thereby improving the safety of the sealing gasket 4 and avoiding high-frequency fracture of the sealing gasket 4; in the first embodiment, the length of the sealing portion 14 is less than the thickness of the sealing gasket 4, which can ensure that after the first nut 3 is locked in place, the sealing gasket 4 is compressed and tightly fits on the mounting plate 2 under the action of the limiting portion 13 and the sealing bolt, so as to further improve the sealing of the sealing gasket 4.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1In the first embodiment, the glass ball nozzle also includes a glass ball holder 5, a positioning portion 51 is provided on the glass ball holder 5, and a through hole 12 is provided on the base 1; specifically, the positioning portion 51 is a stepped protrusion on the outer wall of the glass ball holder 5, and the through hole 12 includes a first hole section 121 and a second hole section 122 which are stepped along the length direction, and the inner contour of the radial cross section of the second hole section 122 matches the outer contour of the radial cross section of the positioning portion 51, and the protrusion passes through the first hole section 121 and engages with the second hole section 122; the positioning portion 51 can not only play a role in positioning and installing the glass ball holder 5 and the base 1, ensuring that the nozzle of the glass ball nozzle can be arranged directly facing the battery cell, but also enable the glass ball holder 5 and the base 1 to be engaged and fixed by the fixing portion and the second hole section 122, thereby improving the stability between the glass ball holder 5 and the base 1.
