Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a battery protection technical field, concretely relates to a high safety evtol battery system of directional exhaust. BACKGROUND

[0002] The electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft is a product directly driven by electric power, and generally uses a chargeable and dischargeable energy storage battery system to provide flight power.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN219180591U discloses a battery thermal runaway protection system, which comprises a detection module, a comparison module and an abnormal protection module.

[0004] However, the technology has the following problems: the battery protection device is added to protect the battery system, but when thermal runaway occurs, high-temperature gas will be transferred to other cells in the battery when a cell thermal runaway occurs, and since the cells do not have fixed explosion-proof valves, the location of cell failure is unpredictable, which greatly increases the difficulty of controlling the battery system thermal runaway.

[0005] Therefore, the utility model designs a high safety evtol battery system with directional exhaust to solve the above problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0006] In view of the above shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a high safety evtol battery system with directional exhaust.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model realizes the following technical scheme:

[0008] The application discloses a high-safety evtol battery system with directional exhaust, which comprises a plurality of battery modules, a driving end of an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, a box body, an upper cover, a plurality of explosion-proof valves and a plurality of connecting channels.

[0009] The top of each of the plurality of battery modules is filled with pouring sealant, the middle part of the pouring sealant is reserved with an intermediate exhaust channel, and the explosion-proof valve is communicated with the intermediate exhaust channel through the connecting channel.

[0010] Furthermore, the plurality of battery modules are connected in series through tab welding.

[0011] Furthermore, the battery modules are fixed to the upper end of the box body through heat-conducting structural glue.

[0012] Furthermore, the intermediate exhaust channel is provided with a plurality of groups and is located in the middle part of the plurality of pouring sealants.

[0013] Furthermore, the opening of the explosion-proof valve is downward and communicated with the electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting channel is provided with a plurality of groups and is located at the front and back sides of the plurality of battery modules.

[0015] Furthermore, each group of the connecting channel is provided with two connecting pipes and is located at the front and back sides of the intermediate exhaust channel, and the front and back ends of the intermediate exhaust channel are fixedly connected with the upper ends of the connecting pipes at the front and back sides.

[0016] Furthermore, the lower ends of the connecting pipes at the front and back sides are fixedly connected with the explosion-proof valves at the front and back sides.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects: 1. The pouring sealant is reserved with an intermediate exhaust channel above the battery modules, so that the directional exhaust of the battery modules is realized.

[0018] The battery modules are filled with fireproof and heat-insulating materials, when a certain battery cell is in thermal runaway and exhausts, the thermal runaway gas will preferentially break through the position without the glue structure of the intermediate exhaust channel due to the relatively weak strength, so that the directional exhaust of the battery modules is realized, the high-temperature gas discharged can be directed to the position of the explosion-proof valve of the box body along the intermediate exhaust channel, so that the directional exhaust of the battery modules is realized, and the directional flow of the high-temperature gas discharged can effectively prevent the high-temperature gas from spreading everywhere.

[0019] 2. The explosion-proof valve is opened downward, avoids directly impacting the passenger cabin or other key positions, and directly discharges to the outside of the aircraft body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
