Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a fire-proof and flame-retardant device for an electric bicycle. Background Art

[0002] Lithium batteries refer to batteries that contain lithium (including metallic lithium, lithium alloys, lithium ions, and lithium polymers) in the electrochemical system. Lithium batteries can be roughly divided into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries. Lithium ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium and are rechargeable. Lithium batteries are widely used in electric vehicles, mobile phone batteries and other products due to their high energy storage and convenient charging and discharging. Lithium batteries are prone to fire due to thermal runaway caused by short circuits, poor heat dissipation due to overcharging or excessively high ambient temperatures. If the fire is not extinguished in time, it will cause the fire to spread and affect the safety of the surrounding environment. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a fire retardant device for electric bicycles to solve the problem of fire caused by thermal runaway of lithium batteries affecting the safety of the surrounding environment proposed in the above background technology.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is a fire retardant device for an electric bicycle, the electric bicycle includes a frame, and the fire retardant device for an electric bicycle includes:

[0005] The placement bin and the cover plate are both arranged on the top of the frame. The placement bin is used to place batteries, and the cover plate can be buckled along a first direction to close the placement bin.

[0006] The bottom of the placement bin along the first direction is provided with a mounting plate, and the side walls along the second direction and the side walls along the third direction are provided with flame retardant layers, and the flame retardant layers are made of flame retardant materials. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0007] The fireproof and flame-retardant device for electric bicycles provided by the utility model can effectively protect the battery from external factors by setting a special placement compartment on the top of the frame for placing the battery and equipping it with a cover plate. The bottom mounting plate and the side walls of the placement compartment are both provided with a flame-retardant layer. The flame-retardant layer made of flame-retardant material can effectively prevent or slow down the development of the fire in the early stage of the fire, thereby improving safety. Through the above design, the overall safety performance of the electric bicycle is improved, which not only reduces the risk of fire, but also improves the user experience.

[0008] In some embodiments, the placement bin is provided with mounting slots at intervals on the top of one side along the third direction, and the bottom of the cover plate is provided with hooks corresponding to the mounting slots for being engaged and fixed with the mounting slots.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing of the placement compartment and the stability of the overall structure can be improved through the fixing method of the card slot and the card hook, the battery displacement caused by vibration or impact can be reduced, and it is convenient for users to replace or maintain the battery.

[0010] In some embodiments, along the first direction, the height of the flame retardant layer is 15 mm higher than the height of the battery.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the flame retardant layer is designed to be 15 mm higher than the battery, which can form an additional protective barrier inside the storage compartment and enhance the structural stability of the entire battery storage compartment.

[0012] In some embodiments, the storage bin further includes a ventilation component. The ventilation component includes a ventilation channel and a knob valve. The ventilation channel is provided in the frame and is located on one side of the storage bin along the third direction, and is used to connect the storage bin with the external atmosphere. The knob valve is correspondingly provided on the surface of the frame, and is used to open or close the ventilation channel.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a ventilation channel, the battery can be effectively helped to dissipate heat and prevent safety hazards caused by overheating. The design of the knob valve allows the ventilation channel to be opened or closed, so that the channel can be closed when ventilation is not required.

[0014] In some embodiments, two ends of the cover plate along the first direction are provided with flow-guiding folds bent toward the battery.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide fold helps air circulation and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery, thereby reducing the temperature of the battery during operation and increasing the service life and safety of the battery.

[0016] In some embodiments, a fireproof sticker is disposed at the bottom of the cover plate corresponding to the battery.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the fireproof sticker can provide an additional insulation layer when the battery is overheated, reduce the direct impact of heat on the battery, help maintain the operating temperature of the battery, and extend the battery life. The fireproof sticker is usually made of flame retardant materials. If a fire source is encountered, it can effectively slow down the speed at which the fire spreads to the battery and increase safety.

[0018] In some embodiments, along the first direction, the cover plate includes a base layer and a fireproof layer.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, adding a fireproof layer to the cover can provide additional flame retardant effect. When a battery fire occurs, the fireproof layer can slow down the spread of the fire and protect other parts of the electric bicycle from damage. By combining the fireproof layer with the base layer, structural optimization can be achieved, so that the cover has better fire resistance while maintaining lightness.

[0020] In some embodiments, the base layer is made of a metal cover plate. The fireproof layer and the flame retardant layer are both made of a woven mesh made of fireproof ceramic fiber material. The mounting plates are both made of asbestos material.

[0021] With the above technical solution, metal materials have the characteristics of high strength, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., which can provide solid protection. At the same time, the thermal conductivity of metal materials can quickly disperse heat and reduce the risk of local overheating. Ceramic fiber has the advantages of light weight, high temperature resistance, good thermal stability, low thermal conductivity, low specific heat and mechanical vibration resistance. It can effectively block flames and high temperatures and improve the fire resistance of electric bicycles.

[0022] In some embodiments, the fireproof layer and the flame retardant layer are both woven fabrics made of flame retardant material with carbon fiber as the matrix.

[0023] By adopting the above technical scheme, the carbon fiber itself has very high strength and modulus. The woven cloth used as the matrix can improve the overall mechanical strength of the cover plate and increase durability. The flame-retardant woven cloth based on the carbon fiber matrix has excellent flame-retardant properties, which can effectively prevent the spread of fire and provide stronger fire protection.

Figure 1 ; Figure 2The three-dimensional diagram of a fire retardant device 1 for an electric bicycle provided by an embodiment of the utility model is shown. Figure 2 .

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the technical solution provided by the present application is a fire retardant device 1 for an electric bicycle, the electric bicycle includes a frame 2, and the fire retardant device 1 for an electric bicycle includes: a placement compartment 3 and a cover plate are both arranged on the top of the frame, the placement compartment 3 is used to place a battery 4, and the cover plate can be moved along a first direction ( Figure 1 The storage bin 3 is buckled and closed in the Z direction. The storage bin 3 is provided with a mounting plate 30 at the bottom along the first direction and a mounting plate 30 along the second direction ( Figure 1 The side wall 31 along the third direction ( Figure 1 The side walls 31 (shown in the Y direction) are all provided with a flame retardant layer, the flame retardant layer is made of flame retardant material, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0035] The fireproof and flame-retardant device 1 for electric bicycles provided in the present application can effectively protect the battery 4 from external factors by providing a special placement compartment 3 on the top of the frame 2 for placing the battery 4 and equipping it with a cover plate. The bottom mounting plate 30 and the side walls 31 of the placement compartment 3 are both provided with a flame-retardant layer. The flame-retardant layer made of flame-retardant material can effectively prevent or slow down the development of the fire in the early stage of the fire, thereby improving safety. Through the above design, the overall safety performance of the electric bicycle has been improved, which not only reduces the risk of fire, but also improves the user experience.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the placement bin 3 along one side of the third direction is spaced apart with an installation slot 32. The bottom of the cover plate is provided with a hook corresponding to the installation slot 32, which is used to be fixed with the installation slot 32.

[0037] Exemplarily, by the fixing method of the card slot and the card hook, the sealing of the placement compartment 3 and the stability of the overall structure can be improved, the displacement of the battery 4 caused by vibration or impact can be reduced, and it is convenient for users to replace or maintain the battery 4.

[0038] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , along the first direction, the height of the flame retardant layer is 15 mm higher than the height of the battery 4 .

[0039] Illustratively, the design in which the flame retardant layer is 15 mm higher than the battery 4 can form an additional protective barrier inside the storage compartment 3, enhance the structural stability of the entire battery 4 storage compartment 3, reduce the displacement or damage of the battery 4 caused by road bumps or accidental impacts, and effectively prevent the spread of flames when the battery 4 overheats or catches fire. This design meets or exceeds the latest safety standards, such as the "Safety Technical Specifications for Electric Bicycles" (GB17761-2018), which sets clear requirements for the fire resistance of electric bicycles, including test methods and requirements for flame retardant properties.

[0040] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The storage bin 3 also includes a ventilation component. The ventilation component includes a ventilation channel and a knob valve 33. The ventilation channel is provided in the frame 2 and is located on one side of the storage bin 3 along the third direction, and is used to connect the storage bin 3 with the external atmosphere. The knob valve 33 is correspondingly provided on the surface of the frame 2, and is used to open or close the ventilation channel.

[0041] For example, proper ventilation is helpful for the performance and life of the battery 4, because the battery 4 works more stably and lasts longer at a suitable temperature. By setting up the ventilation channel, the battery 4 can be effectively ventilated to prevent safety hazards caused by overheating. When the battery 4 is thermally runaway, it can also be used as a pressure relief channel to assist in pressure relief. The design of the knob valve 33 allows the ventilation channel to be opened or closed, so that the channel can be closed when ventilation is not needed.

[0042] In some embodiments, two ends of the cover plate along the first direction are provided with flow-guiding folds bent toward the direction close to the battery 4 .

[0043] For example, the guide fold helps air circulation and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery 4, thereby reducing the temperature of the battery 4 during operation and improving the service life and safety of the battery 4. The guide fold can also provide additional physical protection for the battery 4 and reduce damage to the battery 4 caused by impact or vibration.

[0044] In some embodiments, a fireproof sticker is provided at the bottom of the cover plate corresponding to the battery 4 .

[0045] Exemplarily, the fireproof sticker can provide an additional insulation layer when the battery 4 is overheated, reduce the direct impact of heat on the battery 4, help maintain the operating temperature of the battery 4, and extend the life of the battery 4. The fireproof sticker is usually made of flame-retardant materials. In the event of a fire source, it can effectively slow down the speed at which the fire spreads to the battery 4, thereby increasing safety.

[0046] In some embodiments, along the first direction, the cover panel includes a base layer and a fire protection layer.

[0047] For example, adding a fireproof layer to the cover plate can provide an additional flame retardant effect. When a fire occurs in the battery 4, the fireproof layer can slow down the spread of the fire and protect other components of the electric bicycle from damage. By combining the fireproof layer with the base layer, structural optimization can be achieved, so that the cover plate has better fireproof performance while maintaining lightness.

[0048] In some embodiments, the base layer is made of a metal cover plate. The fireproof layer and the flame retardant layer are both made of a woven mesh made of fireproof ceramic fiber material. The mounting plate 30 is made of asbestos material.

[0049] Exemplarily, metal materials have the characteristics of high strength, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and can provide solid protection. At the same time, the thermal conductivity of metal materials can quickly disperse heat and reduce the risk of local overheating. Ceramic fiber has the advantages of light weight, high temperature resistance, good thermal stability, low thermal conductivity, small specific heat and resistance to mechanical vibration. It can effectively block flames and high temperatures and improve the fire resistance of electric bicycles. Asbestos has good heat resistance, electrical insulation and thermal insulation, and is an important fireproof, insulating and heat-insulating material. The mounting plate 30 made of asbestos can provide additional thermal insulation and fire protection, while having high mechanical strength.

[0050] In some embodiments, both the fireproof layer and the flame retardant layer are woven fabrics made of flame retardant material with carbon fiber as the matrix.

[0051] For example, carbon fiber itself has high strength and modulus. The woven cloth used as the matrix can improve the overall mechanical strength of the cover and increase durability. The flame-retardant woven cloth with carbon fiber matrix has excellent flame-retardant properties, which can effectively prevent the spread of fire and provide stronger fire protection.

[0052] The above implementation modes are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model, and their purpose is to allow people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it. It cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
