DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the purpose of illustration and convenience of description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Numerous modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.
[0022] like Figure 1-7As shown, the technical solution of the present invention provides an exhaust structure for a power battery system 12, comprising a flow guide assembly 1 and an exhaust pipe 8 connected to the flow guide assembly 1. The flow guide assembly 1 is provided corresponding to the explosion-proof valve 13 of the battery cell, and the exhaust pipe 8 extends to the outside of the power battery system case 14. In the event of an abnormality in the battery cell, the explosion-proof valve 13 of the battery cell opens, and the high-temperature and high-heat harmful gases generated by the reaction of the electrolyte chemical materials inside the battery cell are collected by the flow guide assembly 1 and enter the exhaust pipe 8. The gases are then transported by the exhaust pipe 8 to the outside of the power battery system case 14 and discharged to the outside of the vehicle according to the planned and designed route, thereby preventing the harmful gases from entering the internal cavity of the power battery system and diffusing into the driver's compartment through the cooling air inlet pipe mechanism of the entire package, thereby causing harm.
[0023] The flow guide assembly 1 is provided with a plurality of flow guide ports 4, each corresponding one-to-one with an explosion-proof valve 13. The flow guide assembly 1 is also provided with an exhaust port 5, which is connected to the exhaust pipe 8. The flow guide assembly 1 includes a flow guide plate 2 fixed to an isolation plate 3, forming a flow guide cavity 6 between the flow guide plate 2 and the isolation plate 3. The flow guide ports 4 are provided on the flow guide plate 2, and the exhaust port 5 is provided on the isolation plate 3. There is only one exhaust port 5. A sealing ring 7 is provided on the periphery of the flow guide port 4.
[0024] In the above scheme, the guide port 4 corresponds to the explosion-proof valve 13 one-to-one. When the explosion-proof valve 13 is opened, the harmful gas enters the guide cavity 6 through the guide port 4. The guide cavity 6 is an integral cavity to achieve gas aggregation. After the harmful gas is collected, the same exhaust port 5 enters the exhaust pipe 8. The exhaust port 5 extends to the outside of the power battery system 12, which is convenient for docking with the exhaust pipe 8. The sealing ring 7 is outside the explosion-proof valve 13 to ensure a tight connection between the guide plate 2 and the explosion-proof valve 13. The setting method of this scheme, while ensuring the original structure of the power battery system 12, has a separate abnormal exhaust channel for the battery cell, which is independent of the cooling pipeline in the box, to achieve effective discharge of harmful gases.
[0025] The exhaust pipe 8 includes a branch pipe 9 and a main pipe 10. Main pipe 10 is equipped with a micro-pump 11. A check valve is installed on the branch pipe 9. The micro-pump 11 on main pipe 10 quickly exhausts harmful gases from the pipe. Simultaneously, the air cooling assembly on the power battery system housing 14 dissipates heat from the interior of the housing.
[0026] Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field and related fields without making any creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model shall be implemented in accordance with conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified or limited.
