Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fire sprinklers, in particular to a periscope slit type energy storage battery box sprinkler. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of my country's economy, the continuous progress of society, and the rapid development of the country's new energy industry, new energy power battery vehicles, energy storage power stations, charging piles, etc. based on lithium batteries are increasingly changing people's lives.
[0003] Currently, new energy lithium batteries are a growing trend in society, serving as a supplement and alternative to traditional energy sources. my country's government strongly supports new energy electric vehicles and energy storage power stations for peak load shaving and valley filling. The industry is rapidly developing, with an increasingly wide range of applications and enormous installed capacity. However, with the promotion and application of these technologies, safety issues surrounding lithium battery packs, the cornerstone of the new energy industry, are increasingly being exposed.
[0004] As the cells in a battery box are constantly used and repeatedly charged and discharged, their electrical properties degrade. Overcharge or over-discharge can occur during the charge and discharge process, leading to thermal runaway and fires throughout the battery box, jeopardizing both production and personal safety. Consequently, an increasing number of battery boxes are being equipped with lithium-ion fire prevention and control devices during production and design to make them safer and more reliable. Because the design of lithium-ion battery boxes takes actual application scenarios into account, strict requirements are placed on sealing, waterproofing, and weight. However, existing nozzles are unable to automatically release fire extinguishing agents in the event of a fire while also ensuring the sealing of the lithium battery under normal conditions.
[0005] Then, a Chinese patent document with publication number CN110292737A appeared, which disclosed a nozzle for fire fighting in a lithium battery box and a lithium battery with fire prevention function, wherein the nozzle includes a nozzle body, a nozzle core, an elastic member and a nozzle orifice plate, and the nozzle core is arranged in the first flow channel of the nozzle body through the elastic member. Under normal circumstances, the elastic member presses against the nozzle core when it is in the first deformation, so that the nozzle core is in sealing contact with the inner wall of the sealing section of the first flow channel, so that the interior of the battery box is in a sealed state, meeting the sealing requirements of the lithium battery. When a fire occurs in the lithium battery, the pressure generated when the fire extinguishing agent is released compresses the elastic member, and the nozzle core exits the sealing section of the first flow channel, the sealing effect fails, and the fire extinguishing agent can be smoothly transported to the nozzle orifice plate through the first flow channel, and the fire extinguishing agent is sprayed onto the battery box through the spray hole on the nozzle orifice plate, so as to achieve the effect of automatic fire extinguishing, avoid fire, and ensure the personal safety of users.
[0006] Later, the inventor of the present application developed a spray nozzle for a lithium battery box as disclosed in the Chinese patent document with the publication number CN220836282U. The nozzle comprises a nozzle body, a liquid passage is provided through the nozzle body, a one-way valve core and an elastic member are provided in the liquid passage, the elastic member applies force to the one-way valve core so that the one-way valve core blocks and blocks the liquid passage, and after the fire-fighting agent is introduced into the liquid passage, the elastic force of the elastic member can be overcome to push the one-way valve core to move and guide the liquid passage; the rear end of the nozzle body is provided with a connecting pipe portion for plugging in the fire-fighting agent supply connector, and the front end of the liquid passage is provided with a nozzle assembly. The plug-in connection method is more convenient for disassembly and maintenance than the existing threaded connection method. In addition, the nozzle has a compact structure and a high degree of integration, which can save space and effectively solve the installation problem of the product.
[0007] Existing nozzles are generally fixed to the wall of the energy storage battery box. When in use, the fire extinguishing agent is sprayed from the nozzle on the box wall toward the batteries inside the box. On the one hand, due to the limitation of the installation hole position of the battery box wall, the nozzle on the nozzle cannot be installed in the most ideal position, that is, toward or close to the flammable position; on the other hand, the batteries and electronic components are arranged in the energy storage box, and there are many gaps. The fire extinguishing agent has difficulty reaching the gaps of the nozzle with the water outlet positioned on the box wall. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0033] A periscope slit type energy storage battery box nozzle of this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a nozzle body 1, in which a liquid passage 11 is provided, and a one-way valve core 2 and an elastic member 30 are provided in the liquid passage 11. The elastic member 30 applies force to the one-way valve core 2 so that the one-way valve core 2 blocks and blocks the liquid passage 11. After the fire-fighting agent is introduced into the liquid passage 11, it can overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 30 and push the one-way valve core 2 to move and then guide the liquid passage 11. As a major improvement, the energy storage battery box nozzle also includes a pipe socket 3 fixed to the nozzle body 1, and the pipe socket 3 is provided with a pipe through-hole 31 connected to the liquid passage 11. The pipe socket 3 is fixedly connected to a hard extension tube 4 connected to the pipe through-hole 31. The extension tube 4 is bent and a nozzle 5 is provided at its end away from the pipe socket 3. The extension tube 4 can be rotated relative to the pipe socket 3 at a preset angle and then fixed.
[0034] Furthermore, the one-way valve core 2 acts as a seal to prevent leakage. The battery box contains many toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide, VOCs, and hydrogen (a flammable, non-toxic gas). The front inlet of the one-way valve core 2 acts as a leak-proof valve, with an opening pressure ranging from 0.02 to 0.15 MPa. The back inlet also acts as a check valve, preventing toxic gases from leaking from the nozzle into the outside environment.
[0035] Specifically, the water outlet of the nozzle 5 is V-shaped, the channel inside the nozzle 5 is a circular hole, and a V-groove is radially provided through the end portion.
[0036] Specifically, the extension tube 4 is Z-shaped, with an arc-shaped tube transition at the bend.
[0037] Specifically, a conical retaining protrusion 41 is provided on the outer side of the end of the extension tube 4. The end of the pipe through-hole 31 is a bell-mouthed port, into which the conical retaining protrusion 41 is embedded. A locking nut 6 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the pipe socket 3. The extension tube 4 passes through the locking nut 6, which is adjustable in tightness against the conical retaining protrusion 41. Pressing the conical retaining protrusion 41 into the bell-mouthed port restricts the axial insertion and removal or circumferential rotation of the extension tube 4.
[0038] Specifically, the pipe socket 3 and the nozzle body 1 are threadedly connected to each other. A first step 12 is provided on the inner wall of the liquid passage 11, and a second step 32 is provided on the outer side of the pipe socket 3. The first step 12 and the second step 32 cooperate to control the extent to which the pipe socket 3 is screwed into the liquid passage 11. A first sealing ring 7 is provided between the first step 12 and the second step 32. The elastic member 30 is a spring, one end of which abuts the pipe socket 3 and the other end abuts the one-way valve core 2. The end of the pipe socket 3 is provided with a first positioning groove 33 for the elastic member 30 to be inserted into, and the end of the one-way valve core 2 is provided with a second positioning groove 21 for the elastic member 30 to be inserted into.
[0039] Specifically, the outer side of the one-way valve core 2 is provided with a first tapered surface 22, and the end of the liquid passage 11 is provided with a second tapered surface 13. The first tapered surface 22 and the second tapered surface 13 cooperate with each other with a second sealing ring 8 disposed therebetween. The one-way valve core 2 has a flow hole 23 that connects to the first tapered surface 22. When the fire-fighting agent is introduced, the one-way valve core 2 is pushed inward, increasing the gap between the first tapered surface 22 and the second tapered surface 13, allowing the fire-fighting agent to enter through the flow hole 23.
[0040] Specifically, the nozzle body 1 has an integrally formed mounting boss 14 on its exterior. This boss 14 engages with a retaining plate 9 via a bolt assembly. The retaining plate 9 has a clearance hole 91 for the pipe socket 3 to pass through. The mounting boss 14 also has an integrally formed threaded post 141 that threads into the bolt assembly. The side of the mounting boss 14 facing the retaining plate 9 is recessed to form a mounting groove 142. This groove 142 houses a sealing gasket 10, the thickness of which is greater than the depth of the groove 142. The retaining plate 9 and the sealing gasket 10 together clamp the wall of the peripheral energy storage battery box, enabling installation of the entire nozzle.
