[0040] Embodiment 1

[0041] Refer to Figures 1-6 , this embodiment provides an upper cover of an energy storage device box body, which can be applied to the energy storage device box body of the energy storage device to improve the safety performance of the energy storage device.

[0042] Specifically, the upper cover of the energy storage device box body includes an upper cover body 1, a first smoke guiding member 2, a second smoke guiding member 3 and a fire extinguishing part 4.

[0043] Among them, the first smoke guiding member 2 is arranged on the inner surface of the upper cover body 1. The first smoke guiding member 2 and the inner surface of the upper cover body 1 enclose a first smoke guiding channel. A pressure relief hole 21 communicating with the first smoke guiding channel is arranged on the first smoke guiding member 2, and the pressure relief hole 21 is configured to be correspondingly arranged with the cell explosion-proof valve of the cell of the energy storage device.

[0044] The second smoke guiding member 3 is arranged on the inner surface of the upper cover body 1. The second smoke guiding member 3 and the inner surface of the upper cover body 1 enclose a second smoke guiding channel, and the second smoke guiding channel communicates with the first end of the first smoke guiding channel.

[0045] The fire extinguishing part 4 is arranged on the inner surface of the upper cover body 1, and the temperature measuring point of the fire extinguishing part 4 is located in the second smoke guiding channel.

[0046] When the upper cover of the energy storage device box body provided in this embodiment is applied, it is installed on the box body of the energy storage device box body. A cell is arranged in the cell accommodation cavity of the energy storage box body, and the cell explosion-proof valve of the cell is correspondingly arranged with the pressure relief hole 21; if the cell undergoes thermal runaway, the explosion-proof valve of the cell releases high-temperature gas, and the high-temperature gas enters the first smoke guiding channel through the pressure relief hole 21, and then enters the second smoke guiding channel through the first smoke guiding channel. When the high-temperature gas enters the second smoke guiding channel, the temperature measuring point of the fire extinguishing part 4 can detect that the temperature in the second smoke guiding channel rises. In this way, it can be judged that there is cell thermal runaway, and the fire extinguishing part 4 is started in time to extinguish the fire.

[0047] Compared with the prior art in which the fire extinguishing component cannot be ejected in time, for the upper cover of the energy storage device box body provided in this embodiment, when the cell undergoes thermal runaway, the fire extinguishing part 4 can be started in time to extinguish the fire, ensuring the safety performance of the energy storage device.

[0048] At the same time, in this embodiment, due to the isolation effect of the first smoke guiding member 2 and the second smoke guiding member 3, the high-temperature gas released during the thermal runaway of the cell is located in the first smoke guiding channel and the second smoke guiding channel. In this way, the high-temperature gas will not directly contact the cell, further ensuring the safety performance of the energy storage device.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of pressure relief holes 21 are arranged on the first smoke guiding member 2.

[0050] Further, the number of the first smoke guiding members 2 is multiple, and the multiple first smoke guiding members 2 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the second smoke guiding member 3.

[0051] Generally, a plurality of battery cells are arranged in the battery cell accommodating cavity of the energy storage device box body, and the plurality of battery cells are arranged in an array.

[0052] The multiple first smoke guiding members 2 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the second smoke guiding member 3, and a plurality of pressure relief holes 21 are arranged on each first smoke guiding member 2. In this way, the pressure relief holes 21 can be arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the battery cell explosion-proof valves of the battery cells.

[0053] Specifically, a through hole 32 is arranged on the second smoke guiding member 3, and the first end of the first smoke guiding member 2 is located in the through hole 32. In this way, the first smoke guiding channel and the second smoke guiding channel are communicated.

[0054] Further, in this embodiment, the upper cover of the energy storage device box body further includes a box body explosion-proof valve 5, and the box body explosion-proof valve 5 is arranged on the outer surface of the upper cover body 1 and is communicated with the second end of the first smoke guiding channel.

[0055] In this way, when a thermal runaway occurs in the battery cell, the battery cell explosion-proof valve of the battery cell releases high-temperature gas. A part of the high-temperature gas enters the second smoke guiding channel, and the other part of the high-temperature gas is released from the box body explosion-proof valve 5, further ensuring the safety performance of the energy storage device.

[0056] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the fire extinguishing part 4 includes a fire extinguishing part body 41 and a temperature-sensitive wire 42.

[0057] The fire extinguishing part body 41 is arranged on the inner surface of the upper cover body 1.

[0058] One end of the temperature-sensitive wire 42 is connected to the fire extinguishing part body 41, and the other end extends into the second smoke guiding channel.

[0059] If the temperature in the second smoke guiding channel is detected to suddenly rise at the other end of the temperature-sensitive wire 42, it indicates that high-temperature gas has entered the second smoke guiding channel. At this time, the fire extinguishing part body 41 is activated and sprays the fire extinguishing agent.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fire extinguishing part 4 is a perfluoromethylcyclohexanone automatic fire extinguishing component.

[0061] Specifically, in order to ensure that the other end of the temperature-sensitive wire 42 can be stably located in the second smoke guiding channel, in this embodiment, a temperature-sensitive wire through hole 31 is arranged on the second smoke guiding member 3, and the other end of the temperature-sensitive wire 42 passes through the temperature-sensitive wire through hole 31 and extends into the second smoke guiding channel.

[0062] Further, in order to install the main body 41 of the fire extinguishing part on the inner surface of the upper cover main body 1, the upper cover of the energy storage device box body further includes a fixing member 6 for the main body of the fire extinguishing part. The fixing member 6 for the main body of the fire extinguishing part is arranged on the inner surface of the upper cover main body 1 and fixes the main body 41 of the fire extinguishing part on the inner surface of the upper cover main body 1.

[0063] Specifically, one end of the fixing member 6 for the main body of the fire extinguishing part is fixedly installed on the second smoke guiding member 3, and the other end is provided with a pressing ring adapted to the outer surface of the main body 41 of the fire extinguishing part. The pressing ring presses the main body 41 of the fire extinguishing part against the inner surface of the upper cover main body 1.

[0064] Optionally, in this embodiment, both the first smoke guiding member 2 and the second smoke guiding member 3 are plate members, and the cross sections of both are U-shaped.

[0065] Both the first smoke guiding member 2 and the second smoke guiding member 3 are welded to the inner surface of the upper cover main body 1.

[0066] Embodiment 2

[0067] This embodiment provides an energy storage device box body, which includes a box body main body, and a battery cell accommodating cavity with an open upper end is arranged in the box body main body.

[0068] The upper cover of the energy storage device box body further includes the upper cover of the energy storage device box body in Embodiment 1, and the upper cover main body 1 of the upper cover of the energy storage device box body covers the open upper end of the battery cell accommodating cavity.

[0069] The energy storage device box body provided in this embodiment can fully ensure the safety performance of the energy storage device.

[0070] A battery cell is arranged in the battery cell accommodating cavity of the energy storage box body main body, and the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell corresponds to the pressure relief hole 21; if the battery cell undergoes thermal runaway, the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell releases high-temperature gas, and the high-temperature gas enters the first smoke guiding channel through the pressure relief hole 21, and then enters the second smoke guiding channel through the first smoke guiding channel. When the high-temperature gas enters the second smoke guiding channel, the temperature measuring point of the fire extinguishing part 4 can detect the temperature rise in the second smoke guiding channel. In this way, it can be judged that there is a thermal runaway of the battery cell, and the fire extinguishing part 4 starts to extinguish the fire in time.

[0071] Compared with the prior art in which the fire extinguishing component cannot be ejected in time, in this embodiment, when the battery cell undergoes thermal runaway, the fire extinguishing part 4 can start to extinguish the fire in time to ensure the safety performance of the energy storage device.

[0072] Embodiment 3

[0073] This embodiment provides an energy storage device.

[0074] The energy storage device includes a battery cell, and further includes the energy storage device box body in Embodiment 2. The battery cell is arranged in the battery cell accommodating cavity, and the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell is in one-to-one communication with the pressure relief hole 21.

[0075] The energy storage device provided by this embodiment has relatively high safety performance.

[0076] A battery cell is arranged in the battery cell accommodating cavity of the energy storage box body, and the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell is correspondingly arranged with the pressure relief hole 21; if the battery cell undergoes thermal runaway, the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell releases high-temperature gas, and the high-temperature gas enters the first smoke guiding channel through the pressure relief hole 21, and then enters the second smoke guiding channel through the first smoke guiding channel. When the high-temperature gas enters the second smoke guiding channel, the temperature measuring point of the fire extinguishing part 4 can detect that the temperature in the second smoke guiding channel rises. In this way, it can be judged that there is thermal runaway of the battery cell, and the fire extinguishing part 4 is activated in time to extinguish the fire.

[0077] Compared with the prior art where the fire extinguishing component cannot be ejected in time, in this embodiment, when the battery cell undergoes thermal runaway, the fire extinguishing part 4 can be activated in time to extinguish the fire, ensuring the safety performance of the energy storage device.
