Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an electric submersible pump for oil production, in particular to a flexible fire suppression pipe, belonging to the technical field of electric submersible pumps. Background Technique
[0002] Nowadays, lithium-ion battery-related products are widely used in modern commercial, automotive, industrial and other fields. Due to the complex manufacturing process and high energy density of lithium-ion batteries, when improper use or other extreme situations occur, the internal temperature of the battery cell will rise sharply, leading to thermal runaway, and then rapidly spread to adjacent battery cells through heat transfer, further causing thermal propagation. If not effectively controlled, this chain reaction may ultimately lead to fire or even explosion, posing a major threat to personnel safety. Therefore, an effective fire extinguishing device or system is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of energy storage devices.
[0003] The mainstream technical methods adopted by related fire extinguishing devices include gas fire extinguishing, water spraying fire extinguishing, foam fire extinguishing, etc. In terms of scheme layout, they are divided into in-battery-pack fire protection, out-of-battery-pack non-pipe network type and pipe network type fire protection. Among them, in-battery-pack fire protection mainly includes perfluorohexanone fire protection and aerosol. Currently, the perfluorohexanone fire protection flexible suppression pipe equipment is widely used for in-battery-pack or out-of-battery-pack fire protection due to its advantages such as high cost performance, maintenance-free, long service life, and no need for additional reagent storage tanks.
[0004] Currently, the perfluorohexanone fire protection flexible suppression pipe mainly consists of a composite plastic pipe and a fire extinguishing agent. Pressure gauges and signal feedback devices are respectively arranged at both ends of the pipe. When the temperature in the protected area reaches a certain level, the pressure in the pipe increases to reach the pipe body rupture pressure, releasing the fire extinguishing agent, and suppressing the flame through cooling and chemical reactions.
[0005] In the existing manufacturing process, the sealing of the pipe body is achieved through the threads and sealing rings of the end plugs. On the one hand, due to the sealing method of the threads and sealing rings, it is impossible to achieve zero leakage of the fire extinguishing agent. In addition, the fire extinguishing agent is in a gaseous state at high temperatures, and gases are more likely to leak. On the other hand, lithium-ion battery packs and other products often need to be used for several years. The long-term storage makes the sealing rings prone to aging and failure, etc., resulting in the risk of slow leakage of the fire extinguishing agent, and ultimately the failure of the fire protection flexible suppression pipe, which greatly increases the safety risks of lithium-ion battery packs and other products. Therefore, a fire protection flexible suppression pipe is proposed for the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation manners.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-5 As shown, a flexible fire suppression tube includes a bottom seal assembly 100, a thermal tube 200, and an end seal assembly 300. One end of the thermal tube 200 is provided with a bottom seal assembly 100, and the other end of the thermal tube 200 is provided with an end seal assembly 300;
[0027] The bottom sealing assembly 100 includes a bottom seal 110 and a first wire ring 120, and the first wire ring 120 is placed inside the bottom seal 110;
[0028] The end sealing assembly 300 includes an end seal 310, a wire ring, and a high-precision fluoride ion detection probe 330. The second wire ring 320 is placed inside the end seal 310, and a one-way liquid injection tube 311 is inserted into the space inside the second wire ring 320. The high-precision fluoride ion detection probe 330 is installed at the end face of the end seal 310.
[0029] Both the first wire ring 120 and the second wire ring 320 form an electromagnetic induction heating structure through the energized current. The connections between both ends of the thermosensitive tube 200 and the bottom sealing assembly 100 and the end sealing assembly 300 are both in the form of fusion cooling welding;
[0030] The principle of electromagnetic induction heating of the wire is as follows: The induction heating power supply converts the AC power supply into an alternating current with a higher frequency and transmits it to the induction coil, which will generate an electromagnetic field inside the induction coil. Since the first wire ring 120 and the second wire ring 320 to be heated are also conductors, the magnetic induction lines generated by the induction coil will directly penetrate the first wire ring 120 and the second wire ring 320 placed in the coil, forming current closed loops. Moreover, the resistance of the metal is small, and with a relatively high current, when these high-current magnetic induction lines pass through the first wire ring 120 and the second wire ring 320, the electrons inside the metal will become very active, collide with each other, and generate heat through friction, achieving the effect of quickly heating the built-in wire rings 120 and 320 themselves;
[0031] Put the inserted parts into the induction heating power supply equipment, and use electromagnetic induction to quickly heat the first wire ring 120 and the second wire ring 320, melt the contact areas between the bottom seal 110 and the end seal 310 and the thermosensitive tube 200, and further, after cooling, achieve the purpose of welding the three components into one. This welding method can ensure absolute sealing before stress damage occurs to the material and prevent the leakage of the fire extinguishing agent.
[0032] The internal of the thermal sensitive tube 200 is provided with a one-way check structure, and the one-way check structure is specifically composed of a push sealing block and a spring. When starting to fill the fire extinguishing agent into the thermal sensitive tube 200 from the liquid injection port, the fire extinguishing agent passes through the radial holes, applies pressure to the sealing block at the liquid injection port inside the tube, and pushes the sealing block to squeeze the connected spring to contract and open the flow channel, so that the fire extinguishing agent enters the thermal sensitive tube 200; when a certain amount of fire extinguishing agent is filled, the filling of the fire extinguishing agent is stopped. At this time, the sealing block loses pressure, and the spring rebounds to push the sealing block to reset and block the filling port, so as to achieve the effect of sealing the liquid injection tube. In addition, after the filling is completed, other forms of secondary sealing can also be carried out at the filling port, such as applying sealant, etc.
[0033] The high-precision fluoride ion detection probe 330 adopts the fluoride ion selective electrode method combined with a specially designed low-drift noise reduction isolation amplifier circuit. The high-precision fluoride ion detection probe 330 should also be connected to the battery management system, and the high-precision fluoride ion detection probe 330 sends the detection value to the battery management system every once in a while;
[0034] Its main operation logic is to eliminate the influence of other external factors such as temperature and humidity on the fluoride ion selective electrode, and the detection range of fluorine is 0.05 - 100 ppm, and the detection range of fluoride ion leakage concentration is 10-4mol / L - 10-1mol / L, and the detection accuracy can be controlled within 3.5%;
[0035] In another embodiment, such as Figure 4 , the high-precision fluoride ion detection probe 330 should also be connected to the battery management system. The detection probe 330 sends the detection value to the battery management system every once in a while. When the detection value is less than 10-4mol / L, it can be considered normal; when the detection value is 10-4mol / L - 10-2mol / L, it can be judged as a slight leakage, and the fire-fighting flexible suppression tube can be replaced; when the detection value is greater than 10-2mol / L, it can be judged that the fire-fighting flexible suppression tube has ruptured, and a thermal runaway fire has occurred in the battery pack or battery compartment, and further fire-fighting protection and personnel safety should be noted.
[0036] In summary, metal wires are buried inside both ends of the tube body, and electromagnetic induction heating is used to melt the plastic tube by heating the metal wires to weld the tube body and the sealing parts at both ends, avoiding the leakage risk at the joints at both ends of the tube body; a high-precision fluoride ion detection probe is arranged at one end of the tube body to detect the fluoride ion content around the tube body. On the one hand, it detects the slow fluoride leakage that may occur during long-term storage, and on the other hand, it can also be used together with the battery pipeline system to judge the storage state of the tube.
