Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy charging piles, and more specifically, to a direct cooling system with a fire extinguishing function. In addition, the utility model also relates to a new energy charging pile comprising the direct cooling system with a fire extinguishing function. Background Art
[0002] When a conventional DC charging gun is in operation, its current is usually limited to less than 250A to ensure the stability and safety of the charging process. However, with the development of super-fast charging technology, the current that the charging gun can withstand has reached about 500A, which greatly improves the charging efficiency, but also brings a significant challenge - a significant increase in thermal effects.
[0003] In the prior art, the heat dissipation of the charging pile is mainly carried out by air cooling and liquid cooling;
[0004] The air-cooled type uses air heat exchange, which is related to wind speed and heat exchange area. In the face of high heat generation caused by high-current fast charging, it is necessary to increase the cable cross-sectional diameter and expand the fan speed, which will increase the weight of the cable, making it inconvenient for operators to use and providing a poor user experience. The increase in fan speed will increase noise, affecting surrounding residents and hindering the construction of charging stations.
[0005] Liquid cooling can effectively avoid the above problems. It removes the heat of the cable through cooling oil, thereby reducing the cable cross-section and reducing the fan speed or eliminating the fan. However, liquid cooling requires the targeted laying of liquid cooling pipes and the establishment of a dedicated cooling oil station, which occupies a large area and is difficult to construct. Moreover, when facing a thermal runaway fire during charging, the internal cooling oil is prone to leakage and the fire cannot be extinguished on site in time.
[0006] In summary, how to provide a direct cooling system and a new energy charging pile that can help reduce the difficulty of construction, will not reduce the equipment usage experience, and have a fire extinguishing function is a problem that needs to be urgently solved by technical personnel in this field.

[0048] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0049] The core of the present invention is to provide a direct cooling system with a fire extinguishing function. Through the refrigerant that circulates and does work within the system, heat is carried away, which can effectively control the weight of the charging gun, ensure the heat dissipation performance of the charging pile, and at the same time, the equipment has less noise, is convenient for construction, and has less impact on the surrounding environment. At the same time, the refrigerant used is a refrigerant with a fire extinguishing function, and the pipeline uses a fire detection tube, which can actively release the refrigerant when a fire occurs and use it as a fire extinguishing agent to timely control the on-site fire situation and reduce losses.
[0050] Another core of the present invention is to provide a new energy charging pile including the above-mentioned direct cooling system with a fire extinguishing function, which has the same technical solution and can achieve the same purpose.
[0051] Please refer to Figures 1-8 , a direct cooling system with a fire extinguishing function, including an independently arranged direct cooling host 1 and several groups of direct cooling terminals 2 arranged in a new energy charging pile. After several groups of direct cooling terminals 2 are connected in parallel, they are connected in series with the direct cooling host 1;
[0052] The direct cooling host 1 includes a compressor 101 and a condenser 102 connected in series in sequence;
[0053] The direct cooling terminal 2 includes an expansion valve and a fire detection tube connected in series in sequence;
[0054] The circulating pipelines of the direct cooling host 1 and the direct cooling terminal 2 are filled with a refrigerant with a fire extinguishing function;
[0055] Adopt the method of using the compressor 101 to drive the refrigerant in the system to circulate and do work to carry heat, carry the heat at the charging pile end to the direct cooling host 1 end for centralized heat dissipation. With the effective heat transfer ability of the refrigerant, it helps to reduce the wire diameter of the charging gun, reduce the weight of the charging gun, and improve the user experience;
[0056] Arrange the direct cooling host 1 independently, which does not affect the original volume of the charging pile, thereby reducing the space occupation of the parking space area, and making the noise-generating compressor 101 away from the user terminal, improving the user experience of users and surrounding residents;
[0057] Inside the direct cooling terminal 2, an expansion valve and a fire detection tube are integrated. By adjusting the flow rate of the expansion valve, the refrigeration effect can be changed to meet the heat dissipation requirements of different devices at different powers. Moreover, it can effectively reduce energy consumption on the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the device. In addition, a refrigerant with fire extinguishing function is filled in the system, such as R227EA and R125 refrigerants. When a fire occurs on site, when the local temperature at the site exceeds the set temperature and time of the fire detection tube, the fire detection tube at that position can quickly rupture and release the refrigerant in a directional manner to extinguish the fire, thereby extinguishing the fire at the initial stage of the fire, suppressing the fire in the budding stage, and reducing losses.
[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, the direct cooling terminal 2 further includes:
[0059] A plate heat exchanger 402, which is arranged inside the pile body module 4 of the charging pile and is used for dissipating heat from the electrical equipment in the pile body module 4;
[0060] A first fire detection tube 202, which is arranged in the pile body module 4, is connected in series with the plate heat exchanger 402, and is arranged around the electrical component layout area in the pile body module 4, and is used for heat dissipation and fire prevention in the electrical component layout area;
[0061] The plate heat exchanger 402 is used to dissipate heat from the power module. It has a large heat exchange area, can quickly take away the heat generated by the power module, has high heat exchange efficiency, and by adjusting the refrigerant flow rate in the plate heat exchanger 402, the heat dissipation rate can be changed to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the power module in different working states, thereby achieving the effect of energy saving;
[0062] At the same time, the first fire detection tube 202 passes through the electrical component layout area. In actual use, it is mostly the resistors or capacitors in the electrical component layout area that are prone to deflagration. Therefore, when a high-temperature deflagration occurs at that position, the first fire detection tube 202 at the corresponding position can quickly release the refrigerant to extinguish the fire and avoid continuous high-temperature combustion inside the pile body module 4.
[0063] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the inner wall of the working surface of the plate heat exchanger 402 is provided with a serrated evaporation surface, and the outer wall of the non-working surface of the plate heat exchanger 402 is wrapped with a heat insulation layer 401;
[0064] By setting the serrated evaporation surface, a larger heat exchange surface with the refrigerant can be obtained inside the plate heat exchanger 402, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency of the refrigerant, that is, improving the heat dissipation efficiency inside the pile body module 4;
[0065] At the same time, the outer wall of the non-working surface of the plate heat exchanger 402 is wrapped with a heat insulation layer 401 to reduce the heat transfer of the non-working surface and avoid the appearance of condensed water on the surface of the plate heat exchanger 402.
[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 shown, the direct cooling terminal 2 further includes:
[0067] A refrigeration chamber 301, arranged in the gun head body of the charging gun module 3, for heat dissipation at the charging interface;
[0068] A second fire detection tube 203, arranged in the gun line body of the charging gun module 3, connected in series with the refrigeration chamber 301, for heat dissipation of the gun line body;
[0069] By arranging the refrigeration chamber 301 in the gun head body, the liquid refrigerant vaporizes and expands in the refrigeration chamber 301 to absorb heat, quickly cooling the contact points of the gun head body, thereby avoiding high temperature at the gun head;
[0070] At the same time, the second fire detection tube 203 is integrated in the gun line body, and with the transmission of the refrigerant, the temperature reduction and fire prevention of the gun line body are achieved.
[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 shown, several groups of refrigeration chambers 301 are arranged in the gun head body, and an exposed fire detection tube 302 is connected in communication between adjacent two groups of refrigeration chambers 301;
[0072] By adding the exposed fire detection tube 302 on the gun head body, when a fire occurs when the gun head body is combined with the vehicle charging interface, the exposed fire detection tube 302 in the gun head body can quickly rupture and release the refrigerant in a directional manner for fire extinguishing, avoiding an increase in vehicle losses.
[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 , the second fire detection tube 203 is located at the center line position of the gun line body, and a wire layer 303 and an insulating layer 304 are successively wound and wrapped outside the second fire detection tube 203;
[0074] By arranging the second fire detection tube 203 at the center of the gun line body, it can effectively avoid being worn by the outside, and can evenly dissipate heat from the surrounding wires;
[0075] And when a fire occurs in the gun line body, it can spray the refrigerant from the inside, effectively improving the fire extinguishing efficiency.
[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 shown, after the first fire detection tube 202 and the second fire detection tube 203 are connected in series or in parallel, they are connected in series with the first expansion valve 201;
[0077] Or the first fire detection tube 202 is connected in series with the first expansion valve 201, the second fire detection tube 203 is connected in series with a second expansion valve 204, and the first expansion valve 201 and the second expansion valve 204 are connected in parallel;
[0078] Such as Figure 1As shown, the first fire detection tube 202, the second fire detection tube 203 and the first expansion valve 201 are connected in series, that is, the direct cooling terminals 2 in the pile body module 4 and the charging gun module 3 are connected in series, and only one set of expansion valves is used for control, with a simple structure and easy maintenance;
[0079] As Figure 2 shown, after the first fire detection tube 202 and the second fire detection tube 203 are connected in parallel, they are connected in series with the first expansion valve 201, that is, the direct cooling terminals 2 in the pile body module 4 and the charging gun module 3 are connected in parallel, ensuring that the refrigerants entering both have the same initial temperature. By setting the length and layout of the fire detection tubes differently, the heat dissipation efficiency of both can be regulated;
[0080] As Figure 3 shown, two groups of fire detection tubes are separately connected to independent expansion valves to achieve separate control, which helps to separately regulate the heat dissipation modes of the pile body module 4 and the charging gun module 3.
[0081] In some embodiments, a first temperature sensor 205 is provided in the pile body module 4, and a second temperature sensor 206 is provided in the charging gun module 3;
[0082] The first expansion valve 201 is an electronic expansion valve, and both the first temperature sensor 205 and the second temperature sensor 206 are electrically connected to the control unit of the first expansion valve 201 and / or the compressor 101;
[0083] Or, the first expansion valve 201 and the second expansion valve 204 are electronic expansion valves. The first temperature sensor 205 is electrically connected to the control unit of the first expansion valve 201, and the second temperature sensor 206 is electrically connected to the control unit of the second expansion valve 204.
[0084] By setting temperature sensors at corresponding positions in the pile body module 4 and the charging gun module 3, real-time temperature detection is carried out on key positions that are prone to heat generation. When the temperature rises, the opening degree of the corresponding expansion valve can be increased to increase the refrigerant flow rate, improve the heat exchange rate, and then improve the heat dissipation effect, reduce the temperature at this point, and ensure the normal operation of the components.
[0085] In addition to the direct cooling system with fire extinguishing function disclosed in each of the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a new energy charging pile including the above direct cooling system with fire extinguishing function.
