Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of lithium battery energy storage, and specifically relates to an integrated battery pack box structure with composite heat absorption and temperature reduction. Background Art

[0002] The rapid heat accumulation and fire prevention issues of batteries in lithium battery energy storage cabinets and energy storage containers have always restricted the large-scale use of energy storage.

[0003] A large number of lithium-ion batteries are connected in series or in parallel in lithium battery energy storage cabinets and energy storage containers. Due to the physical properties of lithium ions, the dendritic lithium metal formed when lithium ions are reduced during the charging process of lithium batteries can pierce the diaphragm if processed and used improperly, causing the risk of short circuit and spontaneous combustion. Therefore, there is no absolutely safe battery in various complex working conditions.

[0004] The general process of a fire is that a single battery or module experiences thermal runaway, igniting the entire battery pack box. The thermal runaway fire in the battery pack box causes the entire cluster of battery boxes to burn, and then causes the entire cabinet to burn.

[0005] The existing battery management system uses the battery management system to measure the parameters of daily battery operation and maintenance, warns of thermal runaway at an early stage, and prevents and controls fires through early warning of thermal runaway and fire-fighting equipment. It uses fire-extinguishing agent / water as a medium to spray the entire battery cluster and power storage cabinet / container to cool down and extinguish the fire. Its disadvantages are insufficient heat absorption and untimely prevention and control; the heat in the battery is not easy to absorb and reduce; and a chain reaction of battery combustion is prone to occur.
