Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery swapping cabinet technology, specifically relating to an intelligent and safe battery swapping cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Thermal aerosols are a type of total flooding system. By gradually flooding the fire source while controlling it, sufficient time is given for evacuation. This method is suitable for unoccupied, relatively enclosed, and confined spaces such as substations, generator rooms, cable tunnels, cable wells, and cable trenches. It is applicable to extinguishing fires involving Class C flammable liquids such as diesel oil (except -35 diesel), heavy oil, and lubricating oil, as well as surface fires involving flammable solids. Because aerosols are stored in a solid form and are non-volatile, there is no risk of leakage. They have a long shelf life and facilitate real-time monitoring of facilities within protected areas.

[0003] However, when thermal aerosols are directly applied to battery swapping cabinets for fire extinguishing, there are many rechargeable batteries inside the cabinets. If a rechargeable battery catches fire, the release port will generate extremely high temperatures during the fire extinguishing process, which can easily cause other rechargeable batteries to overheat and cause secondary fires. Furthermore, since rechargeable batteries are usually placed in the charging compartment, they remain inside the charging compartment during a fire, making it impossible to extinguish the fire quickly. Utility Model Content

[0004] Purpose of the utility model: To provide an intelligent and safe battery swapping cabinet that solves the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] Technical Solution: An intelligent and safe battery swapping cabinet includes a cabinet shell with a door on one side. A fire water tank is installed below the cabinet shell, and the fire water tank is a hollow structure with an open top, filled with water. A rectangular array of charging compartments is arranged inside the cabinet, with the compartments angled downwards. The end of each charging compartment near the fire water tank is located above the tank. Each charging compartment holds a battery to be charged. A monitoring device is installed in each charging compartment. A front door, the same number as the number of charging compartments, is installed on the side of the cabinet shell opposite the door, for closing the charging compartments. A control terminal is installed inside the cabinet shell, controlling and connecting to the charging compartments, and communicating with the monitoring device.

[0006] Preferably, the charging compartment includes a housing, which is a hollow structure with openings at both ends. The end of the housing near the side of the battery swapping cabinet housing is higher than the end of the housing inside the battery swapping cabinet housing, that is, the housing is inclined inside the battery swapping cabinet housing.

[0007] Preferably, a rear door is installed at the end of the compartment located inside the battery swapping cabinet housing. The upper end of the rear door is rotatably connected to the compartment, and a limiting protrusion is installed on the lower end of the rear door near the side wall of the compartment. The limiting protrusion is used to limit the contact of the battery to be charged.

[0008] Preferably, an electronic lock is installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the cargo box. The electronic lock is communicatively connected to the control terminal and is used to lock and limit the front and rear cargo doors.

[0009] Preferably, an anti-collision protrusion is installed on the side wall of the front compartment door near the electronic lock, the anti-collision protrusion being used to abut and limit the contact of the battery to be charged placed in the charging compartment.

[0010] Preferably, a charging assembly is installed inside the battery swapping cabinet housing. The charging assembly is communicatively connected to the control terminal. The charging cable of the charging assembly extends into each of the charging compartments. The charging cable has a predetermined length, which allows the battery to be charged to slide smoothly into the fire water tank.

[0011] Beneficial effects: This utility model relates to an intelligent and safe battery swapping cabinet. It obtains the real-time status of the charging compartment through monitoring equipment. When the monitoring equipment detects an abnormality in the charging compartment, it controls the electronic lock inside the charging compartment to open through the control terminal. Since the charging compartment is set in an inclined state inside the battery swapping cabinet shell, when the rear door of the charging compartment opens, the battery slides into the fire water tank under its own weight. The water in the fire water tank is used to extinguish the fire on the battery, which can quickly extinguish the flames and reduce the temperature, thereby reducing the losses caused by the fire.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent safety battery swapping cabinet, including a cabinet shell, a fire water tank, and several charging compartments. A door is provided on one side of the cabinet shell. The fire water tank is installed inside the lower part of the cabinet shell and is a hollow structure with an open top. The fire water tank is filled with water. Several charging compartments are arranged in a rectangular array inside the cabinet, with the charging compartments inclined from top to bottom. The end of each charging compartment near the fire water tank is located above the fire water tank. Each charging compartment is used to hold batteries to be charged. Monitoring equipment is installed in each group of charging compartments. The cabinet shell and door... The battery swapping cabinet has front doors installed on its opposite sides, the same number as the charging compartments. These doors are used to close the charging compartments. A control terminal is installed inside the cabinet housing, and it controls and connects to the charging compartments. The control terminal is also connected to monitoring equipment to obtain the real-time status of the charging compartments. When the monitoring equipment detects an abnormality in the charging compartment, the battery, which is tilted inside the cabinet housing, slides into the fire water tank under its own weight when the rear door of the charging compartment opens. The water in the fire water tank is then used to extinguish the fire, quickly putting out the flames and reducing the temperature, thereby minimizing the damage caused by the fire.

[0020] In a further embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the charging compartment includes a housing, which is a hollow structure open at both ends. The end of the housing near the side of the battery swapping cabinet housing is higher than the end of the housing inside the battery swapping cabinet housing, i.e., the housing is inclined within the battery swapping cabinet housing. A rear door is installed at the end of the housing inside the battery swapping cabinet housing. The upper end of the rear door is rotatably connected to the housing. A limit protrusion is installed on the lower end of the rear door near the side wall of the housing, which is used to limit the contact with the battery to be charged. An electronic lock is installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the housing, and the electronic lock is communicatively connected to the control terminal. The lock is used to lock and limit the front and rear compartment doors. An anti-collision protrusion is installed on the side wall of the front compartment door near the electronic lock. This protrusion is used to limit the contact of the battery to be charged inside the charging compartment. A charging assembly is installed inside the battery swapping cabinet housing. The charging assembly is communicatively connected to the control terminal. The charging cable of the charging assembly extends into each charging compartment. The charging cable has a predetermined length, allowing the battery to slide smoothly into the fire water tank. The water in the fire water tank extinguishes the fire, quickly putting out flames and reducing the temperature.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various equivalent transformations can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such equivalent transformations fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
