Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fire prevention and disaster prevention technology for underground garages, specifically relating to a fire prevention device for lithium battery electric vehicles in underground garages. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid growth in the production, sales, and ownership of new energy vehicles, the risk of fire accidents caused by them is becoming increasingly prominent. High-voltage batteries, as a core component of new energy vehicles, have complex cell assembly structures and their electrochemical performance and stability differ significantly from traditional fossil fuels. During use, internal causes such as internal short circuits, overcharging, and overheating, or external causes such as vehicle electrical faults, can lead to battery fires. Furthermore, lithium battery fire prevention and extinguishing agent selection differ drastically from those for traditional vehicles. Therefore, adopting effective lithium battery fire prevention measures to reduce the fire risk of new energy vehicles is of significant practical importance.

[0003] Underground parking garages have a unique storage environment where cars are parked side by side. If a car catches fire and the fire cannot be properly prevented or extinguished, it can cause a widespread fire and result in serious property damage.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a fire prevention device for lithium battery electric vehicles in underground garages is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a fire prevention device and method for lithium battery electric vehicles in underground garages, which can effectively improve the safety of new energy vehicles in underground garages.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a fire prevention device for lithium battery electric vehicles in underground garages, comprising:

[0007] A storage tank containing fire extinguishing materials, an output pipe connected to the outer wall of the storage tank, and a material pump connected to the output pipe;

[0008] A spray pipe assembly is connected to the discharge end of the material pump. The spray pipe assembly is arranged above the parking space. A spray table is connected to the end of the spray pipe assembly. A spray head and a smoke temperature sensor are connected to the spray table.

[0009] A folded membrane bag, which is ring-shaped, is arranged on the outer periphery of the vehicle. One end of the folded membrane bag is connected to a feed pipe, which is connected to and communicates with the discharge end of the feed pump. When the folded membrane bag is in the external feeding state, it is supported and forms an isolation barrier. The fire extinguishing material sprayed by the sprinkler head is temporarily stored in the isolation barrier and submerges the ignition point.

[0010] The control console is fixed to one side of the storage tank and is electrically connected to the material pump and the smoke temperature sensor, respectively.

[0011] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: When not in use, the folded film bag is in a folded and compressed state, which will not affect the vehicle's entry into the parking space. When a fire occurs, the folded film bag can be unfolded to form an isolation barrier by filling it with fire extinguishing material, blocking the outside of the parked vehicle. At the same time, the sprinkler head can spray fire extinguishing material to extinguish the fire. For situations where it is difficult to spray fire extinguishing material in hidden fire extinguishing locations, the isolation barrier can temporarily store fire extinguishing material, which accumulates until it submerges the fire point, thus completing the fire extinguishing.

[0012] Preferably, the folded film bag has an internal ring with a discharge pipe, the discharge pipe has multiple discharge holes, the discharge pipe has an adapter for connecting to an external material pump, the folded film bag is a sealed pressure-bearing film bag, and the unfolded height of the folded film bag is 50cm to 80cm.

[0013] The resulting technical effect is that, in order to improve the fixed installation and filling effect of the folded film bag, a discharge pipe is installed inside the folded film bag, which can stabilize the installation position of the folded film bag.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the folded film bag is provided with a support plate.

[0015] The resulting technical effect is that when installing folded film bags, a ring groove is usually opened near the parking space line, and the support plate can cover the ring groove when the equipment is idle, so as not to affect the vehicle entry. The support plate can also support the shape of the top opening of the folded film bag well.

[0016] Preferably, the discharge end of the material pump is connected to a spray branch pipe and a membrane bag branch pipe. The spray branch pipe is connected to the spray pipe assembly, and the membrane bag branch pipe is connected to the folded membrane bag. A pressure regulating valve is connected to the membrane bag branch pipe.

[0017] The resulting technical effect is that the discharge end of the material pump has two outlets. One outlet is connected to the spray pipe assembly for spraying fire extinguishing materials, and the other outlet is connected to the folded membrane bag, which can be unfolded to serve as an isolation barrier. The isolation barrier can, on the one hand, block the extension of the fire point to avoid major property damage, and on the other hand, it can better extinguish the fire point inside the barrier, thus achieving effective fire extinguishing and fire prevention.

[0018] Preferably, the storage tank is connected to the fire protection pipeline of the underground garage, and a valve is installed on the connecting pipe between the storage tank and the fire protection pipeline. The valve is electrically connected to the control console.

[0019] The resulting technical effect is that it can also be connected to fire-fighting pipelines to use fire-fighting water to extinguish fires and prevent the spread of the fire.

[0020] Preferably, the fire extinguishing material is a water-based fire extinguishing agent.

[0021] The resulting technical effect is that water-based fire extinguishing agents are easy to spray and can be effectively stored and used for fire extinguishing.

[0022] This utility model also discloses a fire prevention method for lithium battery electric vehicles in underground garages, which uses the aforementioned fire prevention device and includes the following steps:

[0023] Step 1: Create a groove near the parking space. Create a ring groove near the parking space line of the underground parking space. The groove depth should be sufficient to meet the embedding requirements of the folded film bag.

[0024] Step 2: Assembly and adjustment of the equipment. Fix the folded film bag in the annular groove. The top support plate of the folded film bag covers the opening of the annular groove. Place the storage tank in a suitable position and connect it to the pipeline of the spray pipe assembly and the folded film bag. The spray table needs to be located above the parked vehicle.

[0025] Step 3: Debugging. Use the material pump to fill the extinguishing material into the folded material bag. The folded material bag unfolds and extends out of the annular groove to form an isolation barrier. The isolation barrier is set up around the outer perimeter of the parked vehicle. Turning on the material pump causes the sprinkler head to spray out the extinguishing material. The extinguishing material gradually accumulates inside the isolation barrier and submerges the fire point, completing the fire extinguishing.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the groove near the parking space line provides an installation environment for the folded film bag, the spray station on the spray pipe assembly is located above the parked vehicle, which does not affect the normal entry and exit of the vehicle, this utility model detects the fire by using a smoke temperature sensor, and uses the control console to control the material pump to supply material into the folded film bag, the isolation barrier in the unfolded state can effectively prevent the fire from spreading, and the spray head can effectively extinguish the fire.

[0027] Preferably, in step two, the storage tank is connected to the fire-fighting pipeline and provides fire-fighting water to the sprinkler heads.

[0028] The resulting technical effect is that fire-fighting water can effectively provide water sources to achieve fire extinguishing. Attached Figure Description
