[0028] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] An embodiment of the present application provides a battery compartment hatch cover device for new energy ships, which can solve the problem in the related art that existing battery compartment hatch covers usually do not have a locking function and may not be effectively fixed when the temperature inside the battery compartment rises abnormally or other emergency situations occur.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 A new energy ship battery compartment hatch cover device includes: a hatch cover body 1, and a sealing cover 2 abutting thereon, the hatch cover body 1 is provided with a rotating member 3, the rotating member 3 is connected to the sealing cover 2 and is used to drive the sealing cover 2 to flip, a temperature sensor 4 is provided at the bottom of the sealing cover 2, and a locking mechanism 5 is provided inside the sealing cover 2;

[0031] The locking mechanism 5 includes a driving member 51 and a locking rod 52 disposed inside the sealing cover 2. The hatch cover body 1 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 6. The driving member 51 is connected to the locking rod 52 and is used to drive the locking rod 52 toward or away from the insertion holes 6.

[0032] The temperature sensor 4 is electrically connected to the rotating member 3 and the driving member 51 respectively.

[0033] Normal state: When the battery compartment is in normal working state, the sealing cover 2 is tightly abutted against the cover body 1 via the rotating member 3, ensuring the sealing of the battery compartment. At this time, the locking mechanism 5 is in the unlocked state, and the locking rod 52 is not inserted into the socket 6, but remains in the standby state.

[0034] Temperature Monitoring and Response: Temperature sensor 4 monitors the temperature at the bottom of sealing cover 2 in real time and transmits this data to the control systems of rotating element 3 and driving element 51. If the temperature rises abnormally but does not reach a dangerous level, the control system will assess the feasibility of opening sealing cover 2 to dissipate heat.

[0035] Sealing cover flipping: If the control system determines that opening the sealing cover 2 helps dissipate heat, it will start the drive motor of the rotating part 3, and drive the connecting plate 21 and the sealing cover 2 to flip through the rotating shaft 32, thereby opening the ventilation hole of the battery compartment and promoting heat dissipation.

[0036] Locking mechanism intervenes: When the temperature sensor 4 detects that the temperature has reached an extremely high level and there is a risk of intensifying the fire or leaking harmful substances, the control system will immediately send an instruction to the drive member 51 to drive the locking rod 52 to quickly insert into the hole 6, locking the sealing cover 2 to prevent it from opening accidentally.

[0037] By introducing the locking mechanism 5 and the temperature sensor 4, safety measures can be automatically taken when the temperature in the battery compartment is abnormal, effectively preventing the spread of fire and the leakage of harmful substances, and improving the safety of the battery compartment. By utilizing the electrical connection between the temperature sensor 4 and the rotating part 3 and the driving part 51, real-time monitoring and intelligent response of the battery compartment temperature are achieved, thereby improving the automation level and response speed of the device.

[0038] When the temperature has not yet reached a dangerous level, the device can automatically open the sealing cover 2 to promote the dissipation of heat inside the battery compartment and help maintain the normal operating temperature of the battery compartment.

[0039] The device has a reasonable structural design, and the components are tightly connected and easy to disassemble, which is convenient for daily maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0040] If necessary, Figure 2 As shown, the hatch cover body 1 includes a disc 11 and a cylinder 12 connected to each other, and the interior of the disc 11 is hollow.

[0041] The hollow interior of disk 11 reduces the overall weight of the hatch cover, improving its portability. It also facilitates the placement of necessary electrical components and wiring, such as the wiring for temperature sensor 4. The hollow structure also facilitates subsequent maintenance and inspection. Cylinder 12 connects to disk 11, forming the hatch cover's lower structure. Cylinder 12 is thick and strong enough to withstand the pressure and impact that may occur within the battery compartment.

[0042] Furthermore, a plurality of observation ports 7 are provided on the disc 11 , and explosion-proof glass is provided on the observation ports 7 .

[0043] The observation ports 7 are evenly distributed on the surface of the disc 11. The number and position of the observation ports are reasonably designed according to the actual needs and structural characteristics of the battery compartment, which helps the operator to clearly observe the situation inside the battery compartment from multiple angles and promptly discover and deal with potential safety hazards.

[0044] Explosion-proof glass is a specially treated glass material with exceptional strength and impact resistance. In battery compartments, where extreme operating conditions such as high temperature and high pressure may exist, explosion-proof glass effectively prevents glass breakage or splashing caused by excessive internal pressure, thereby protecting operators.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, a groove 8 for accommodating the sealing cover 2 is provided above the disc 11 in this embodiment, and the insertion hole 6 is provided on the side wall of the groove 8 .

[0046] Groove 8 is located above disk 11. Its shape and size are designed based on the contour and dimensions of sealing cover 2 to ensure that the sealing cover can be fully and stably embedded therein. Groove 8 provides a stable support platform for sealing cover 2, allowing it to remain stable during the inversion process, avoiding sealing failure caused by shaking or misalignment.

[0047] The insertion holes 6 are provided on the side wall of the groove 8 , and the number and positions of the insertion holes 6 are reasonably arranged according to the requirements of the locking mechanism 5 .

[0048] In one embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating member 3 includes a fixed plate 31 relatively arranged on the disc 11, a rotating shaft 32 is rotatably arranged between the two fixed plates 31, a driving motor 33 is arranged on one side of the fixed plate 31, and one end of the driving motor 33 is connected to the rotating shaft 32; two connecting plates 21 are relatively arranged on the sealing cover 2, and the connecting plates 21 are arranged on the rotating shaft 32.

[0049] The two fixed plates 31 serve as the supporting structure of the rotating member 3, providing stable support for the rotating shaft 32. A rotating shaft 32 is rotatably arranged between the two fixed plates 31. The rotating shaft 32 serves as the driving shaft for the sealing cover 2 to flip. One end of the rotating shaft 32 is connected to the driving motor 33, and the other end is connected to the connecting plate 21 on the sealing cover 2.

[0050] The driving motor 33 serves as a power source for the rotating member 3 . When the driving motor 33 drives the rotating shaft 32 to rotate, the connecting plate 21 drives the sealing cover 2 to flip, thereby realizing flipping drive of the sealing cover 2 .

[0051] In one embodiment, a receiving groove 9 adapted to the locking mechanism 5 is provided inside the sealing cover 2 , and the driving member 51 and the locking rod 52 are both arranged inside the receiving groove 9 .

[0052] The receiving groove 9 is opened inside the sealing cover 2, and its position and shape are designed according to the specific structure and size of the locking mechanism 5. Usually, the receiving groove 9 is rectangular, circular or other irregular shapes to ensure that the locking mechanism 5 can be completely and stably embedded therein.

[0053] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving member 51 is an electric push rod, the locking rod 52 is a U-shaped plug rod, the piston rod of the electric push rod is connected to the U-shaped plug rod, and the accommodating groove 9 is provided with a through hole for the U-shaped plug rod to extend out; the number of the jacks 6 is two, and they correspond one to one to the two ends of the U-shaped plug rod.

[0054] Driving element 51 utilizes an electric push rod, a device that converts the rotational motion of an electric motor into linear reciprocating motion. This type of push rod offers advantages such as compact size, high thrust, smooth operation, and easy control, making it ideal for use in the locking mechanism of the battery compartment cover. The push rod's piston rod is connected to a U-shaped insert rod. The extension and retraction of the piston rod drive the U-shaped insert rod for insertion and removal.

[0055] The locking rod 52 is designed as a U-shaped rod. The two ends of the U-shaped rod correspond to the two sockets 6 respectively. When the electric push rod drives the U-shaped rod to extend, its two ends can be smoothly inserted into the sockets to achieve the locking function.

[0056] The U-shaped rod is typically made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure stability and durability in harsh working environments. The design of the U-shaped rod also considers the friction and insertion / extraction force when inserted into the socket, ensuring that the locking mechanism 5 is neither too tight, making insertion and extraction difficult, nor too loose, causing the locking mechanism to fail.

[0057] The accommodating groove 9 is provided with a through hole for the U-shaped rod to extend out. The position and size of the through hole match the shape and size of the U-shaped rod to ensure that the U-shaped rod can pass through smoothly when extended.

[0058] There are two receptacles 6, one for each end of the U-shaped rod. These receptacles are typically located on the disc 11 or on the sealing cover 2. When the U-shaped rod is extended and inserted into the receptacles, the sealing cover 2 is locked. The layout and dimensions of the receptacles are designed to ensure the stability and reliability of the locking mechanism 5 during operation.
