[0033] Distribution box 3 for power supply.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the early warning device box adopts a square box structure, which is fixed to the body frame in the rear cabinet of the electric bus by standard fasteners such as bolts. It is generally arranged in the empty space on the lower or upper side of the rear cabinet according to the spatial arrangement of the on-board electrical equipment in the rear cabinet of the electric bus; a negative pressure generator and a smoke sensor are provided in the early warning device box, and the negative pressure transmitter generally adopts a negative pressure pump, and the negative pressure generator can generate a negative pressure space in the early warning device box; the early warning device box is also connected to the air sampling pipeline, and the air sampling pipeline is provided with a sampling tube air outlet and multiple sampling tube air inlets, the sampling tube air outlet is connected to the pre-tightening device box, and the sampling tube air inlet is arranged relative to the on-board electrical equipment in the rear cabinet of the electric bus (that is, the sampling tube air inlet is arranged near the on-board electrical equipment Near), the negative pressure generator generates a negative pressure space in the early warning device box so that the air near the on-board electrical equipment enters the early warning device box through the sampling tube air inlet of the air sampling pipeline, and the smoke sensor in the early warning device box collects the smoke concentration of the sampled gas. The smoke sensor transmits the collected signal to the signal transmission device, and the signal transmission device transmits the smoke concentration signal to the controller set in the electric bus cab. The controller obtains the smoke concentration signal and controls the alarm device to sound an alarm when the smoke concentration signal is greater than the set threshold value (the smoke concentration near the on-board electrical equipment will increase in the early stage of spontaneous combustion, etc.), so that the bus driver can be informed and deal with the on-board electrical equipment in the early stage of spontaneous combustion, thereby ensuring the safety of the bus and passengers. In this embodiment, the smoke sensor is fixed to the early warning device box by bolts and other structures.

[0035] Furthermore, one side of the early warning device box 10 is connected to the sampling tube outlet 20, the other side of the early warning device box 10 is provided with the negative pressure generator, and the smoke sensor is provided between the sampling tube outlet and the negative pressure generator.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the early warning device housing is a square housing structure, which is fixed to the vehicle body frame in the rear cabinet of the electric bus, and the side provided with the negative pressure generator faces the outside of the vehicle body, so that the negative pressure generator can discharge the other gases in the early warning device housing. An opening is processed on the square housing to facilitate the installation of a negative pressure pump, which corresponds to the opening and is fixed to the square housing by a bolt structure. The side of the early warning device housing facing the on-board electrical equipment is connected to the sampling tube outlet of the air sampling pipeline; the smoke sensor is provided between the sampling tube outlet and the negative pressure generator. This arrangement can ensure that the sampled gas flows smoothly, and at the same time, it can ensure that the smoke gas sensor can effectively detect the collected gas, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the smoke gas detection.

[0037] Furthermore, the signal transmission device is a wireless signal transmission device; the wireless signal transmission device includes a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver; the wireless transmitter is electrically connected to the smoke sensor, and the wireless receiver is electrically connected to the controller.

[0038] Specifically, the signal transmission device can use a signal line for transmission. Preferably, the signal transmission device uses a wireless signal transmission device.

[0043] Furthermore, the wireless signal transmission device also includes a wireless transmitting antenna 40 and a wireless receiving antenna 41. The wireless transmitting antenna 40 is fixed in the rear cabinet 6 of the electric bus by a magnet, and the wireless receiving antenna 41 is placed in the driving cab of the electric bus. By setting the wireless transmitting antenna and the wireless receiving antenna, the effective transmission of the signal can be guaranteed. At the same time, the wireless transmitting antenna is fixed in the rear cabinet of the electric bus by a magnet (magnetic attraction), and the position of the wireless transmitting antenna can be easily adjusted so that the wireless transmitting antenna is set at the ventilation port of the rear cabinet, thereby ensuring the transmission of the signal. The wireless receiving antenna is installed in the driver's cab by a suction cup or screw structure. The wireless transmitting antenna is connected to the wireless transmitter through a signal line, and the wireless receiving antenna is connected to the wireless receiver through a signal line.

[0046] Furthermore, the distance between two adjacent sampling tube air inlets 21 on the horizontal sampling tube 22 is 70 mm to 120 mm.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the horizontal sampling tube is a closed end, and multiple sampling tube air inlets (or multiple air inlet tubes) are evenly distributed on the side of the horizontal sampling tube close to the vehicle-mounted electrical equipment. The distance between two adjacent sampling tube air inlets is 70mm-120mm. This distance can effectively collect the gas near the vehicle-mounted electrical equipment, and then accurately detect the flue gas concentration of the gas near the vehicle-mounted electrical equipment through the flue gas sensor.

[0048] Furthermore, it also includes a system status display system 7 arranged in the driving room of the electric bus, and the system status display system is connected to the controller.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the system status display system is an indicator light 70 and a control button 71. The indicator light and the control button are both connected to the controller. When the smoke concentration collected by the smoke sensor is less than the set threshold, the controller controls the indicator light (green indicator light) to light up to indicate that the vehicle-mounted electrical equipment is working normally. When the smoke concentration collected by the smoke sensor is greater than or equal to the set threshold, the controller controls another indicator light (red indicator light) to light up to indicate that the vehicle-mounted electrical equipment is abnormal. At the same time, the sound and light alarm sounds an alarm, and the control button can be contacted to sound an alarm. In this embodiment, the system status display system is installed on the alarm device box 8.
