[0002] With the development of the electric vehicle industry and the increasing number of various electric vehicles (new energy vehicles) in society, electric vehicle traffic accidents are common. Most of the vehicles involved in these accidents are caused by electrical short circuits after collisions, which can lead to fires, combustion, and explosions. This causes serious injuries to the drivers and passengers of electric vehicles, as well as significant loss of life and property, and severely impacts social traffic order. Besides human error, the root causes of electric vehicle accidents are serious safety flaws in the vehicles: 1. The high-power battery packs in electric vehicles lack effective means to quickly extinguish short-circuit arcs at the power outlet in the event of a collision. The high-temperature arcs exceeding 8,000 degrees Celsius generated by short-circuit currents are the primary cause of fires in electric vehicles; 2. There are no effective measures or means to prevent short-circuit currents from flowing through the internal resistance of the battery, leading to overheating and explosions; 3. There is no automatic firefighting device to quickly extinguish arcs and fires in the event of a collision.

[0003] In response to these safety hazards currently faced by electric vehicles, it is urgent to develop a fully automatic arc extinguishing and fire extinguishing device that can quickly and effectively cut off high-power, ultra-high-temperature DC arcs. Utility Model Content

The hollow inner cavity of the high-speed DC fuse is pre-filled with carbon dioxide liquid. The high-speed DC fuse is fixed in the battery compartment, with one end connected to the negative electrode of the battery pack and the other end connected to the ground bus of the battery pack.

[0008] The advantages of the present invention over the prior art are that when the battery pack in the battery compartment is short-circuited or catches fire, the high-speed DC fuse is burned out, and the four movable ends of the two sets of wedge-shaped structures of the multi-directional displacement sensor are connected to the inner wall of the battery compartment by bolts to detect impact deformation, control and drive the high-pressure outlet valve on the liquid carbon dioxide cylinder to automatically extinguish the fire and arc, or use low-temperature carbon dioxide gas at minus ten degrees Celsius to extinguish the arc or open flame in the battery compartment, thereby protecting the batteries in the battery compartment from secondary fire, combustion or explosion.
