[0030] The following further details the specific embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] In view of the possible fire occurrence during the test of the laboratory battery pack or the possible spontaneous combustion and fire during the storage and placement of the battery pack, the present utility model designs a fire extinguishing device, which is equipped with a temperature sensor and a smoke sensor. When the PLC detects abnormal temperature and smoke signals or the BMS system detects abnormal internal temperature of the battery pack during the test, the electric valves of the two-way fire water on the fire water pipe open, and the fire water immediately submerges the battery pack. When the PLC receives the signal from the liquid level sensor at the overflow port, the electric valves on the two-way fire water pipes automatically close.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , the specific structure of the battery pack fire extinguishing device of the present utility model is as follows:

[0033] The battery pack fire extinguishing device of the present utility model is overall a battery pack storage device 1 in a box-like structure. The bottom of the device is provided with a lower water inlet branch pipe assembly 2 as a basic framework. The bottom of the framework is provided with a bottom plate. The framework is provided with a second spray group 19 composed of spray pipes arranged in a crisscross pattern. The spray pipes of the second spray group are provided with nozzles or openings that can spray upward; the spray pipes of the second spray group are connected to the DN100 water inlet pipe 10 through the lower water inlet branch pipe box 5. The DN100 water inlet pipe 10 is externally connected to the DN100 flange interface 7, and is conveniently connected to the external fire water pipe through this flange interface. The lower water inlet branch pipe box 5 is a transfer space that facilitates the transfer of the liquid introduced by the external water pipe to the internal spray pipes.

[0034] Similarly, an upper water inlet branch pipe assembly 3 is provided at the top of the device as a basic framework. A first cover plate 13, a second cover plate 14, and a third cover plate 16 are sequentially arranged on the top of the framework as top plates. The first cover plate and the second cover plate are transparent plates, and handles 15 for opening (lifting) the cover plates are provided at the edges of the first cover plate and the second cover plate. Among them, the first cover plate 13 and the second cover plate 14 are respectively positioned on a first upper cover frame 11 and a second upper cover frame 12, and the third cover plate 16 is fixed on the upper water inlet branch pipe assembly 3. A first spray group 18 composed of spray pipes arranged in a crisscross pattern is also provided on the framework. Sprayers or openings for downward spraying are provided on the spray pipes of the first spray group. The spray pipes of the first spray group are connected to a DN50 water inlet pipe 8 through an upper water inlet branch pipe box 4. The DN50 water inlet pipe 8 is externally connected to a DN50 flange interface 6, and it is convenient to connect to an external fire water pipe through this flange interface. The upper water inlet branch pipe box 4 is a transfer space that facilitates the transfer of the liquid introduced by the external water pipe to the internal spray pipes.

[0035] Among them, the purpose of the openings provided on the spray pipes is to submerge the battery pack as quickly as possible. The two water inlets are connected to the fire water. Electric valves are respectively installed on the two water inlet pipes. When the PLC detects abnormal temperature or abnormal signals from the smoke sensors, the PLC outputs signals to open the electric valves on the water pipes, and the battery pack storage device is instantly filled with water to achieve the purpose of extinguishing the fire in the first time and prevent the occurrence of fire. The transparent cover plates (referring to the first cover plate and the second cover plate) facilitate observing the state of the battery pack at any time; the handles facilitate disassembly.

[0036] In addition, a drain port 9 at the lower part and an overflow port 17 at the upper part are also provided on the side of the box body structure. A liquid level sensor is installed at the overflow port. A manual ball valve is installed at the drain port.

[0037] Furthermore, the smoke sensors are installed at the top of the battery pack device, and at least three sampling points need to be installed. The temperature sensors are installed at positions close to the battery pack, and at least six sampling points are required. The number of openings on the spray pipes in the device is determined according to the required fire extinguishing time; the less the time, the more the holes.

[0038] A moving device can be added to this fire extinguishing device later to facilitate movement between laboratories and make it more convenient to use.
