Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery energy storage cabinet technology, specifically a battery energy storage cabinet with a fire extinguishing and early warning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A battery energy storage cabinet is a device used to store electrical energy, primarily through battery packs. It plays multiple roles in the power system, including peak shaving and valley filling, improving power quality, and providing backup power. However, during use, battery energy storage cabinets may experience spontaneous combustion due to a series of abnormal conditions such as internal short circuits, overcharging and over-discharging, external high temperatures, battery aging, and damage. This necessitates considering fire warning functionality when designing the battery energy storage cabinet. However, existing fire warning battery energy storage cabinets only consider protection against internal spontaneous combustion and do not address protection against external fire intrusion. This device aims to provide a battery energy storage cabinet with a fire warning mechanism, offering a degree of protection and minimizing damage in the event of an internal or external fire.
