Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of charging and swapping cabinet technology, specifically to an external fire water tank for charging and swapping cabinets in extremely cold regions. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electric bicycles are becoming increasingly popular. For frequent users, such as food delivery workers and couriers, there may be situations where the battery power of their electric bicycles is insufficient. If they need to charge their electric bicycles, there will be an awkward situation where the electric bicycles cannot be used, which will undoubtedly affect the user's work efficiency. Therefore, charging and swapping cabinets have emerged. When the electric bicycle runs out of power, users can easily replace the battery with a fully charged one from the charging and swapping cabinet, thus bringing great convenience to electric bicycle users.

[0003] Batteries are flammable and explosive, therefore, fire suppression systems are installed inside charging and swapping cabinets. Some cabinets also have external fire water tanks. In the event of a fire, water from the fire water tank is pumped into the cabinet and sprayed onto the fire through nozzles to extinguish the flames and prevent further fires. However, existing external fire water tanks in charging and swapping cabinets lack insulation and heating devices, making them unsuitable for use in extremely cold regions. In these areas, temperatures can reach as low as -30°C, at which point the water in the tank would freeze, rendering it unusable for emergency fire suppression. Therefore, the existing external fire water tanks for charging and swapping cabinets have limited applicability and versatility, and their structure needs improvement. Utility Model Content

The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment to other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this invention can be combined with other embodiments.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1-3As shown, an external fire water tank for a charging / swapping cabinet in extremely cold regions includes a tank body 1, which is fixedly connected to the cabinet of the charging / swapping cabinet. The tank body 1 contains an independent control chamber 100 and a water storage chamber 200. The control chamber 100 is used to install various control devices and electrical components, while the water storage chamber 200 is used to hold fire-fighting water. A control board 15, a battery 2, a water pump 3, and a return water pump 4 are fixedly installed inside the control chamber 100. The battery 2, water pump 3, and return water pump 4 are electrically connected to the control board 15. The battery 2 supplies power to the control board 15. The output end of the water pump 3 is connected to the charging / swapping cabinet, and the input end of the water pump 3 is connected to the water storage chamber 200. The water pump 3 is used to pump water from the water storage chamber 200 to the charging / swapping cabinet for fire extinguishing. The output end of the return water pump 4 is connected to the water storage chamber 200, and the input end of the return water pump 4 is connected to the charging and swapping cabinet. The return water pump 4 is used to re-extract the water after the charging and swapping cabinet has been used into the water storage chamber 200 so that the water can be recycled, which is beneficial to saving water resources.

[0024] A heating device and a temperature sensing device are installed on the housing 1 at positions corresponding to the water storage chamber 200. The heating device and temperature sensing device are electrically connected to the control board 15. The heating device heats the fire-fighting water in the water storage chamber 200, thereby preventing the water in the water storage chamber 200 from freezing. The temperature sensing device detects the water temperature in the water storage chamber 200. In actual implementation, when the temperature sensing device detects that the water temperature in the water storage chamber 200 reaches a preset threshold, it sends a feedback signal to the control board 15. The control board 15 then immediately controls the battery 2 to supply power to the heating device. Through the operation of the heating device, the water in the water storage chamber 200 is heated, preventing the water in the water storage chamber 200 from freezing and ensuring that the water in the water storage chamber 200 is always in a flowing state.

[0025] To reduce heat exchange between the fire-fighting water in the water storage chamber 200 and the outside environment, an insulation layer 5 is provided on the side wall of the water storage chamber 200. The insulation layer 5 reduces heat exchange between the fire-fighting water and the outside environment, thereby slowing down water temperature loss and achieving energy savings. In this embodiment, the insulation layer 5 is made of insulation cotton, and its thickness is 40 mm. In other embodiments, the insulation layer 5 can be made of other insulation materials, and its thickness can be greater than 40 mm.

[0026] This external fire water tank features a temperature sensor within the storage chamber 200 that monitors the water temperature in real time. A heating device promptly heats the water in the chamber, preventing it from freezing. Furthermore, an insulation layer 5 on the side wall of the storage chamber 200 provides insulation, reducing the need for frequent heating and lowering energy consumption. Therefore, this external fire water tank effectively prevents the water in the storage chamber 200 from freezing, making it suitable for use in extremely cold regions and enhancing the equipment's versatility.

[0027] In this embodiment, the heating device includes a first heating element 6, which is electrically connected to the control board 15. The first heating element 6 may have a structure with a built-in heating wire and an outer silicone coating. The first heating element 6 is attached to the side wall of the housing 1. In operation, the control board 15 controls the battery 2 to supply power to the first heating element 6, causing it to start working. The heat generated by the first heating element 6 is conducted to the housing 1, and then through the housing 1 to the fire-fighting water in the water storage chamber 200, thus achieving the purpose of heating the water. In other embodiments, the heating device may also be other types of heating structures, as long as it can heat the water in the water storage chamber 200; for example, a heating rod may be inserted into the water storage chamber 200 to heat the water.

[0028] To reduce heat conduction to the charging and swapping cabinet, a heat insulation layer 7 is provided on the side of the first heating element 6 away from the cabinet 1. The heat insulation layer 7 is in close contact with the cabinet body of the charging and swapping cabinet. The heat insulation layer 7 not only reduces heat conduction to the charging and swapping cabinet, but also reduces heat loss, thereby providing a certain degree of insulation for the water inside the cabinet 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the heat insulation layer 7 is made of thermal insulation cotton, and the thickness of the heat insulation layer 7 is 10 mm. In other embodiments, the heat insulation layer 7 can also be made of other heat insulation materials, and its thickness can be greater than 10 mm.

[0030] The temperature sensing device includes a first sensor 8, which is electrically connected to the control board 15 and extends into the water storage chamber 200. In actual operation, the first sensor 8 collects the water temperature in the water storage chamber 200 in real time. When the water temperature reaches the threshold, it sends a feedback signal to the control board 15, which then controls the first heating element 6 to heat the water in the tank.

[0031] To prevent low temperatures from affecting the operation of the control device within the control cavity 100, in this embodiment, the control cavity 100 is equipped with a second heating element 9 and a second sensor 10, both connected to the control board 15. The second heating element 9 is used to heat the control cavity 100, and the second sensor 10 is used to detect the temperature within the control cavity 100. During actual operation, the second sensor 10 monitors the air temperature within the control cavity 100 in real time. When the air temperature within the control cavity 100 reaches a threshold, a feedback signal is sent to the control board 15, which then controls the second heating element 9 to operate. The second heating element 9 generates heat and dissipates it into the control cavity 100, thereby increasing the air temperature within the control cavity 100 and achieving the purpose of heating.

[0032] A water level detection switch 11 is installed inside the water storage chamber 200. The water level detection switch 11 is electrically connected to the control board 15. The water level detection switch 11 is used to monitor the water level in the water storage chamber 200. When the water level in the water storage chamber 200 is lower than that of the water level detection switch 11, the water level detection switch 11 will send a warning signal to the control board 15. The control board 15 will then send a feedback signal to the charging and swapping cabinet to remind the user to add water to the water storage chamber 200 in a timely manner. The water level detection switch 11 can be any existing electrical device capable of detecting water level, and this utility model does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0033] To facilitate adding water to the water storage chamber 200, a water inlet is provided on the side wall of the water storage chamber 200, and a water inlet sealing cap 12 is provided on the water inlet. The water inlet sealing cap 12 is detachably connected to the water inlet. Normally, the water inlet sealing cap 12 seals the water inlet, thereby preventing dust and other contaminants from entering the water storage chamber 200. When water needs to be added, the water inlet sealing cap 12 is opened from the water inlet, and then an external water source is connected to the water inlet to add water to the water storage chamber 200. After adding water, the water inlet sealing cap 12 is resealed.

[0034] Normally, this external fire water tank is controlled by the control center of the charging and swapping cabinet. When a fire breaks out in one of the cabinets, a signal is sent back to the control board 15, which then controls the water pump 3 to pump water from the storage chamber 200 into the charging and swapping cabinet for fire extinguishing. Simultaneously, the return water pump 4 is controlled to pump used water back into the storage chamber 200 for recycling. However, in actual operation, if the control center in the charging and swapping cabinet malfunctions, the external fire water tank may not be able to start. Therefore, in this embodiment, an emergency start switch 13 is installed on the tank body 1, and the emergency start switch 13 is electrically connected to the control board 15. When the user manually presses the emergency start switch 13, the emergency start switch 13 sends a start signal to the control board 15, which then immediately controls the water pump 3 to start operating.

[0035] An anti-accidental contact cover 14 is provided on the housing 1 at the position corresponding to the emergency start switch 13. The anti-accidental contact cover 14 can prevent accidental contact with the emergency start switch 13. In case of emergency, the user can break the anti-accidental contact cover 14 and then press the emergency start switch 13 to start the external fire water tank.

[0036] The above-described specific embodiments are preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific scope of this utility model. The scope of this utility model includes but is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. All equivalent changes made in accordance with this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
