[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0011] This utility model allows for fire extinguishing in compartments, keeping the fire within a minimal area. Simultaneously, the metal structure of the inner and outer sealing rings prevents flames from directly impacting the sealant. Combined with fireproof strips, it maintains excellent sealing, buying time for water injection and fire suppression. Attached Figure Description

[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model proposes a water-immersed battery swapping cabinet battery compartment, including a compartment body 1 and a compartment door 2. The compartment door 2 is rotatably connected to one side of the compartment body 1 via a door hinge pin 26. The compartment body 1 is connected to a water inlet pipe 11, which communicates with the interior of the compartment body 1. Water can be injected into the interior of the compartment body 1 through the water inlet pipe 11. A water return port 12 and a temperature sensor 13 are also provided inside the compartment body 1. The temperature sensor 13 is used to sense the temperature inside the compartment body 1. When the temperature is higher than a set value, the water inlet pipe 11 injects water into the interior of the compartment body 1. The water return port 12 is connected to a water return pipe 14. A sealing protrusion 15 is provided around the opening of the compartment body 1.

[0037] The door 2 includes an inner sealing ring 21 and an outer sealing ring 22. A sealing groove 23 is formed between the inner sealing ring 21 and the outer sealing ring 22. In this technical solution, the inner sealing ring 21 and the outer sealing ring 22 can be made of metal. The sealing groove 23 corresponds to the sealing protrusion 15. When the door 2 is closed, the sealing protrusion 15 is embedded in the sealing groove 23. The inner sealing ring 21 corresponds to the size of the inner circumference of the opening of the compartment 1. When the door 2 is closed, the inner sealing ring 21 can be inserted into the inner circumference of the opening of the door 1. A soft sealant is provided in the sealing groove 23. The sealant is a high-temperature resistant strip or a fireproof strip, or a high-temperature resistant foam or a fireproof foam.

[0038] Furthermore, the door 2 is equipped with a latch 24, and an electromagnetic latch 16 is provided on one side of the opening of the compartment 1. When the door 2 is closed, the latch 24 and the electromagnetic latch 16 lock together. The door 2 is equipped with a light guide column 25, and an indicator light module 17 is provided on one side of the opening of the compartment 1. When the door 2 is closed, the light guide column 25 and the indicator light module 17 correspond. The indicator light module 17 guides light through the light guide column 25 to display the status of the battery compartment, such as charging, charging complete, fault, etc.

[0039] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: when the door 2 is closed, the inner sealing ring 21 is embedded in the inner circumference of the opening of the compartment 1. When a fire occurs inside the battery compartment, the sealant is pressed by the sealing protrusion 15, and the position where the inner sealing ring 21 is embedded forms a barrier between the flame and the sealant, preventing the sealant from directly contacting the flame. This can prolong the sealing state of the door 2 and prevent the fire from spreading. At this time, the water inlet pipe 11 injects water into the compartment 1 to extinguish the fire. When the water level is higher than the return water inlet 12 inside the compartment 1, the water flows back through the return water pipe 14.

[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
