[0030] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of submersible battery compartment pressure regulating mechanism, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 Wherein mechanism main body 10 includes compressor 110, center storehouse 120 and storage storehouse 130, compressor 110 is located in one end of mechanism main body 10, is connected with center storehouse 120 by first communication piece, center storehouse 120 is connected with storage storehouse 130 by second communication piece, and second communication piece is used to connect or separate center storehouse 120 and storage storehouse 130;Mounting base 20, mounting base 20 includes first mounting seat 210 and second mounting seat 220, and first mounting seat 210 and second mounting seat 220 are connected with mechanism main body 10 respectively.
[0031] The storage bin 130 can be used to store liquefied gas. It can be understood that liquefied gas (such as liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, etc.) has the characteristics of rapid gasification at room temperature and generating a large amount of gas. When the battery bin needs to rapidly adjust the pressure, the liquefied gas in the storage bin 130 can be rapidly gasified by heating or other means and enter the central bin 120 through the compressor 110 and the communication system to achieve rapid adjustment of the internal pressure of the battery bin. This design enables the pressure regulating mechanism to respond to pressure changes in a shorter time, improving the adjustment efficiency. The storage and release of liquefied gas enable the pressure regulating mechanism to provide a larger range of pressure adjustment as needed. The energy released during the gasification of liquefied gas can make the internal pressure of the battery bin reach the required value in a short time, thereby meeting the operation requirements of the submersible at different depths and water pressure conditions. The storage of liquefied gas makes the pressure regulating mechanism more efficient in energy utilization. The cold gas released during the gasification of liquefied gas can be used to cool the battery bin or other components that need to be cooled, thereby realizing energy reuse. In addition, the storage and transportation of liquefied gas are also relatively convenient, reducing energy consumption and transportation costs. The storage and use of liquefied gas require strict safety control. Through reasonable design and safety measures, it can be ensured that the pressure regulating mechanism will not cause safety problems when using liquefied gas. At the same time, the storage of liquefied gas also increases the redundancy of the system, so that when the compressor 110 or other components fail, the system can still maintain the stability of the pressure in the battery bin by releasing the stored liquefied gas.
[0032] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 More specifically, the compressor 110 can be provided with fins 1110 on the side.
[0033] It can be understood that the compressor 110 will generate a certain amount of heat during operation, and the design of the fins 1110 can greatly increase the heat exchange area between the compressor 110 and the surrounding environment, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. This helps to reduce the working temperature of the compressor 110, prevents performance degradation or failure caused by overheating, and prolongs the service life of the compressor 110. The working temperature of the compressor 110 has an important influence on its performance and pressure regulation stability. By dissipating heat through the fins 1110, the temperature of the compressor 110 during operation can be kept stable, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of pressure regulation. This is crucial for the submersible to maintain the stability of the battery compartment pressure in the complex and variable underwater environment. The design of the fins 1110 not only enhances the heat dissipation effect, but also optimizes the overall structure to a certain extent. The fins 1110 can act as a spacer between the compressor 110 and the surrounding components, preventing wear or damage caused by close contact. At the same time, the fins 1110 can also serve as additional support structures, enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire pressure regulating mechanism. The design of the fins 1110 can also reduce the noise and vibration of the compressor 110 to a certain extent. By increasing the heat exchange area, the fins 1110 can help the compressor 110 dissipate heat faster, thereby reducing noise and vibration caused by overheating. This is of great significance to improve the stealth and comfort of the submersible.
[0034] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 More specifically, the mechanism body 10 further includes a pressure relief valve 140 connected to the center compartment 120.
[0035] It can be understood that the pressure relief valve 140 as a key component of the safety protection mechanism can quickly open when the internal pressure of the battery compartment abnormally rises, releasing excess pressure and preventing the battery compartment from being damaged due to overpressure. This is crucial for the safety of the submersible when operating in extreme environments, effectively avoiding potential safety hazards. The addition of the pressure relief valve 140 makes the pressure regulating mechanism have higher precision and flexibility during pressure regulation. When the internal pressure of the battery compartment approaches the preset upper limit, the pressure relief valve 140 can automatically open to release part of the pressure, thereby avoiding frequent start and stop of the compressor 110, reducing energy consumption and wear and tear, and improving the stability and efficiency of the system. The presence of the pressure relief valve 140 makes the pressure regulation process smoother and more controllable. During the operation of the compressor 110, if the internal pressure of the battery compartment suddenly rises, the pressure relief valve 140 can respond quickly to release excess pressure, preventing the pressure from rising sharply and causing damage to the battery and the battery compartment. At the same time, when the pressure decreases, the compressor 110 can more accurately control the amount of gas injected, achieving more stable pressure regulation. As part of the redundant design, the pressure relief valve 140 increases the reliability of the system. In the event of a malfunction of the compressor 110 or other components, the pressure relief valve 140 can serve as a backup pressure release channel to ensure that the internal pressure of the battery compartment is within a safe range. This helps to reduce system failure rate and improve the overall performance and reliability of the submersible.
[0036] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 more specifically, the mechanism body 10 further includes a communication port 150 provided on the central compartment 120. The communication port 150 can be used to connect the pressure regulating mechanism with other components of the submersible.
[0037] It can be understood that the provision of the communication port 150 enables the pressure regulating mechanism to more conveniently connect and communicate with other components of the submersible. This helps to achieve integrated design of the entire submersible system, improving the overall performance and reliability of the system. Through the communication port 150, the pressure regulating mechanism can receive signals or instructions from other components of the submersible, achieving accurate regulation and monitoring of the pressure of the battery compartment. The communication port 150 not only serves to connect the pressure regulating mechanism with other components of the submersible, but also serves as an additional channel for pressure regulation. When needed, gas can be injected or extracted through the communication port 150 to the central compartment 120, achieving rapid regulation of the internal pressure of the battery compartment. This design increases the flexibility and response speed of pressure regulation, helping the submersible to maintain stable pressure in the battery compartment in complex and variable underwater environments. The presence of the communication port 150 makes the maintenance and management of the pressure regulating mechanism more convenient. Through the communication port 150, the pressure regulating mechanism can be easily repaired, replaced with components or performance debugged. At the same time, the communication port 150 can also serve as a monitoring point for real-time monitoring of the pressure changes in the battery compartment, providing strong protection for the safe operation of the submersible.
[0038] As Figure 2 And Figure 3 More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the submersible battery compartment pressure regulating mechanism further includes an external interface 160, which is provided on the central compartment 120. The external interface 160 can be reserved for future expansion.
[0039] In this way, the external interface 160 is provided for the submersible battery compartment pressure regulating mechanism, reserving an interface for future expansion. This means that in the future, as submersible technology continues to advance and operational demands increase, new equipment, sensors, or functional modules can be easily connected through the external interface 160 to expand the functionality and performance of the pressure regulating mechanism. This design makes the pressure regulating mechanism forward-looking and adaptable, capable of meeting various needs of future submersible operations. The presence of the external interface 160 makes the submersible battery compartment pressure regulating mechanism more flexible when connecting with other systems or components. Through the external interface 160, data exchange and communication between different systems can be easily achieved, enabling more intelligent pressure regulation and monitoring. This flexibility helps to improve the performance and reliability of the entire submersible system. During the integration of the submersible system, the external interface 160 can greatly simplify the integration process. Through standardized external interface 160, the connection and communication between different components can be easily achieved, reducing the workload and complexity of system integration. At the same time, the external interface 160 can also serve as a testing and debugging interface, facilitating performance verification and optimization of the system. The external interface 160 makes the submersible battery compartment pressure regulating mechanism more scalable when dealing with future changes. As the submersible operating environment changes and technology advances, it may be necessary to upgrade or improve the pressure regulating mechanism. Through the external interface 160, new functional modules can be easily added or old components can be replaced to adapt to new operational requirements and technical standards.
[0040] As Figure 2 More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the storage compartment 130 includes a replenishment port 1310, which is provided at one end of the storage compartment 130. The replenishment port 1310 is mainly used for replenishing raw materials in the storage compartment 130.
[0041] In this way, the provision of the replenishment port 1310 makes it more convenient and efficient to replenish the raw materials in the storage tank 130. When the liquefied gas or other raw materials in the storage tank 130 are consumed to a certain extent, new raw materials can be quickly and safely added through the replenishment port 1310, ensuring that the pressure regulating mechanism can continue to work stably. This design improves the continuity and reliability of the submersible during underwater operations. The replenishment port 1310 not only serves for raw material replenishment, but also serves as an access for system maintenance. Through the replenishment port 1310, the interior of the storage tank 130 can be conveniently inspected, cleaned, and maintained, ensuring the performance and reliability of the storage tank 130 and the entire pressure regulating mechanism. This design reduces the maintenance cost and complexity of the system, and improves the overall life of the system. The design of the replenishment port 1310 makes it easier to control the flow and pressure of the raw materials during replenishment, thereby avoiding safety hazards caused by excessive replenishment or excessive pressure. At the same time, the replenishment port 1310 can be equipped with a safety valve and monitoring device to monitor the pressure and temperature parameters in the storage tank 130 in real time, ensuring the safe operation of the system. The provision of the replenishment port 1310 can be reasonably planned according to the overall layout of the submersible and the operational requirements, making the layout of the entire pressure regulating mechanism more compact and reasonable. This helps to reduce the size and weight of the submersible, improving the maneuverability and operational efficiency of the submersible. The design of the replenishment port 1310 can adapt to different types of raw material replenishment requirements. Whether it is liquefied gas, compressed gas, or other types of raw materials, they can be replenished through the replenishment port 1310. This design makes the pressure regulating mechanism adaptable to different operating environments and requirements, improving the flexibility and adaptability of the system.
[0042] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 More specifically, the center tank 120 is provided with a protrusion 1210, which surrounds the center tank 120. In addition to protecting the center tank 120, the protrusion 1210 can also increase the heat exchange efficiency between the center tank 120 and the outside environment.
[0043] It can be understood that the setting of the protrusions 1210 plays an additional protective role for the central bin 120. In the underwater environment, the submersible may encounter various collisions and impacts. The presence of the protrusions 1210 can absorb and disperse these impact forces, protecting the central bin 120 and its internal key components from damage. This design improves the durability and reliability of the entire mechanism. The protrusions 1210 not only increase the surface area of the central bin 120, but also optimize its heat exchange path with the surrounding environment. In the underwater environment, temperature differences can cause heat transfer. The structure of the protrusions 1210 can increase the contact area of the central bin 120 with the external environment, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. This is of great significance for regulating the temperature of the battery bin, maintaining the normal working temperature of components such as the compressor 110 and the pressure relief valve 140. The protrusions 1210 as additional structures of the central bin 120 can increase the structural strength of the entire mechanism body 10. In the underwater high-pressure environment, the protrusions 1210 can disperse the pressure, preventing the central bin 120 from deforming or rupturing due to excessive pressure. This design improves the pressure resistance and safety of the entire mechanism.
[0044] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model embodiment provides a kind of submersible battery bin pressure regulating mechanism, which further comprises a mounting foot 30, and the mounting foot 30 and the mechanism body 10 are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting base 20.
[0045] In this way, the mounting pad 30 made of flexible or elastic material has good shock absorption performance. In underwater environment, the submersible may encounter various vibrations and impacts. The mounting pad 30 can absorb and disperse these vibrations and impact forces, protecting the mechanism body 10 and its internal key components from damage. This design improves the durability and reliability of the entire pressure regulating mechanism. The presence of the mounting pad 30 can increase the contact area and friction between the mechanism body 10 and the mounting base 20, improving installation stability. In the underwater high-pressure environment, the mounting pad 30 can prevent the mechanism body 10 from loosening or shifting due to pressure or vibration, ensuring that the entire pressure regulating mechanism can work stably. Although the mounting pad 30 is mainly made of flexible or elastic material, the selection and design of its material can also consider the heat conduction performance. By optimizing the material and structure of the mounting pad 30, the heat conduction efficiency between the mechanism body 10 and the mounting base 20 can be improved to some extent, which is helpful for heat dissipation and temperature control. The design of the mounting pad 30 can adapt to different installation environments and requirements. By adjusting the height, shape and material of the mounting pad 30, the installation position and posture of the mechanism body 10 can be fine-tuned to meet the needs of different submersibles or working environments. The design of the mounting pad 30 also provides convenience for installation and disassembly. During installation, the mounting pad 30 can serve as a positioning point and support point, making it easy for workers to accurately install the mechanism body 10 on the mounting base 20. During disassembly, the mounting pad 30 can also act as a buffer and protector to prevent the mechanism body 10 from being damaged due to sudden unloading.
[0046] Compared with the prior art, the submersible battery compartment pressure regulating mechanism provided by the embodiment of the utility model can effectively dynamically regulate the internal pressure of the battery compartment through the communication structure between the compressor 110 and the center compartment 120 and between the center compartment 120 and the storage compartment 130. When the submersible is working at different depths underwater, the compressor 110 can inject or extract gas into or from the center compartment 120 according to the external pressure change to maintain the relative balance of the internal and external pressures of the battery compartment, thereby protecting the battery compartment from damage in the high-pressure environment. The separation design of the mechanism body 10 and the mounting base 20 not only facilitates installation and maintenance, but also improves the structural stability of the entire pressure regulating mechanism. The first mounting seat 210 and the second mounting seat 220 are respectively connected with the mechanism body 10, ensuring the stable installation of the mechanism in the submersible and reducing the risk of damage caused by vibration or impact. Through accurate pressure regulation, the mechanism can reduce the stress on the battery due to pressure changes, thereby prolonging the service life of the battery and reducing the operating cost of the submersible.
[0047] The above merely is preferable specific implementation manner of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this, any skilled person in the technical field can easily think of the change or replacement in the utility model disclosed technology range, should be covered in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be limited to the protection scope of claims.
