Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery swapping cabinet technology, and in particular to an intelligent battery swapping cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the electric vehicle industry, battery swapping stations, as an emerging device that provides charging and battery swapping services for electric vehicle batteries, have received widespread attention because they allow users to directly replace batteries with fully charged ones, saving them the trouble of waiting for charging.

[0003] However, batteries, as a core component of electric vehicles, are extremely sensitive to temperature and easily affected by it. In summer, outdoor temperatures are high, and after prolonged exposure to sunlight, the temperature of the battery swapping cabinet can easily exceed 30°C. Combined with the heat released by the battery itself during charging, the combined effect can easily lead to overheating of the battery, causing rapid evaporation of the electrolyte. This not only damages the battery but may also cause battery bulging or even fire, posing safety hazards. Therefore, the charging compartment of the battery swapping cabinet must be equipped with a fire extinguishing device to promptly extinguish any abnormal smoke or fire, minimizing losses for users.

[0004] Currently, the battery swapping cabinet industry mainly uses two fire suppression methods: aerosol fire suppression, which is lower in cost but less effective, and with increasingly stringent fire safety requirements, it faces the risk of being discontinued, potentially leading to asset losses; and water-based fire suppression, which is effective but more expensive. Furthermore, existing fire water systems are often poorly designed, resulting in excessively large cabinet footprints and limited space, hindering their market placement and application.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0045] The following is combined Figures 1 to 10 The intelligent battery swapping cabinet provided by the present invention will be described in detail through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0046] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 10 As shown, an intelligent battery swapping cabinet 1 includes a cabinet body 10, multiple support components 30, multiple aerosol fire extinguishing modules 40, and a water fire protection system 50. The cabinet body 10 has several independent battery swapping compartments 20. The multiple support components 30 are installed on the circumferential direction of the bottom end face of the cabinet body 10, and the multiple support components 30 and the bottom surface of the cabinet body 10 enclose a water tank mounting position. The multiple aerosol fire extinguishing modules 40 are detachably installed in the battery swapping compartments 20. The water fire protection system 50 includes multiple sprinkler modules 510, a water supply module 520, and a water tank module 530. The multiple sprinkler modules 510 are detachably installed in the battery swapping compartments 20, the water tank module 530 is installed in the water tank mounting position, the water supply module 520 is arranged in the cabinet body 10, and the water supply module 520 is connected between the multiple sprinkler modules 510 and the water tank module 530.

[0047] The cabinet body 10 serves as the basic framework and load-bearing structure of the entire intelligent battery swapping cabinet 1, supporting and integrating all components. It provides an installation platform and structural protection for the battery swapping compartment 20, support components 30, fire extinguishing module, and water fire protection system 50. At the same time, through its own sealing and stability, it ensures the safety and reliability of the battery swapping process, and is the basic carrier for the battery swapping cabinet to realize its various functions.

[0048] Each battery swapping compartment 20 is an independent space unit, primarily used to store and provide a dedicated environment for charging and swapping individual electric vehicle batteries 2. This independent design effectively avoids mutual interference between different batteries 2. For example, if one battery 2 experiences abnormal conditions such as thermal runaway, it can reduce the impact on other batteries 2, lower the possibility of risk spread, and also facilitate the individual monitoring and management of the status of each battery 2.

[0049] Multiple support components 30 are installed circumferentially on the bottom end face of the cabinet body 10. On the one hand, the support components 30 support the cabinet body 10, raising it to a certain height and keeping it at a distance from the ground to prevent moisture and water accumulation from corroding the bottom of the cabinet and protecting the internal components. On the other hand, the multiple support components 30 are distributed circumferentially and form a stable spatial structure with the bottom surface of the cabinet body 10, providing the basic conditions for the subsequent installation of the water tank module 530 and forming a key component for the water tank installation position.

[0050] The water tank mounting position provides a precise and suitable installation space for the water tank module 530. This mounting position design makes full use of the unused space at the bottom of the cabinet body 10, avoiding the water tank module 530 occupying the side or top space of the cabinet, thereby reducing the overall volume of the battery swapping cabinet, improving space utilization, and ensuring the stability of the water tank module 530 after installation.

[0051] Multiple aerosol fire suppression modules 40 serve as core components of a fire suppression system. Their function is to release aerosols to suppress or extinguish initial fires when a fire occurs within the battery swapping compartment 20. The detachable installation method allows the battery swapping cabinet to flexibly select fire suppression solutions. When customers initially choose an aerosol fire suppression system, installation can be quick; if a water-based fire suppression system needs to be switched later, it can also be easily disassembled, facilitating system upgrades and maintenance while lowering the initial investment cost barrier.

[0052] Water-based fire suppression system 50, as another highly efficient fire extinguishing solution, is responsible for dealing with more serious fires. It extinguishes lithium battery fires through the cooling and suffocation effects of water. Compared with aerosol fire extinguishing, it is more reliable and can effectively reduce fire risks and losses.

[0053] Multiple sprinkler modules 510 are terminal actuators of the water fire suppression system 50. Their function is to precisely spray water into the corresponding battery compartment 20 when a fire occurs, directly acting on the fire source to quickly cool and extinguish the fire. The detachable design allows it to be flexibly replaced with the aerosol fire suppression module 40, realizing the switching between two fire suppression schemes, while also facilitating the maintenance and replacement of individual sprinkler modules 510.

[0054] The water supply module 520 serves to transport water and is the power transmission channel for the water fire suppression system 50. It delivers water from the water tank module 530 to each sprinkler module 510, ensuring that the sprinkler modules 510 receive sufficient pressure and flow of water during fire suppression to guarantee the fire suppression effect. The design of the piping being installed inside the cabinet body 10 avoids exposed piping, reduces interference and damage to the water supply system from the external environment, and makes the overall structure of the power swapping cabinet more compact.

[0055] The water tank module 530 serves as the water storage device for the water fire-fighting system 50. Its main function is to store the water required for fire extinguishing, ensuring a continuous water supply to the sprinkler module 510 in the event of a fire. Installed at the water tank mounting position, it makes full use of the space at the bottom of the cabinet body 10, ensures stable installation, and creates conditions for gravity-based water return, thus simplifying the system structure.

[0056] This application utilizes a modular design for the battery compartment 2 of the cabinet, allowing it to accommodate both aerosol fire suppression systems and water-based fire suppression systems. For customers with limited initial budgets and whose local fire regulations do not yet mandate water-based fire suppression, an aerosol fire suppression solution can be chosen to meet basic fire safety needs. When fire safety standards are upgraded or the customer's safety requirements increase, there is no need for large-scale modifications to the cabinet; simply replacing the fire suppression components within the compartments allows for a convenient upgrade to a water-based fire suppression system. This multi-solution design allows customers to make flexible decisions based on their specific needs and circumstances, effectively avoiding the risks or resource waste that can result from a single solution. Furthermore, by installing the water tank module 530 at the bottom of the cabinet, the previously unused space between the casters is fully utilized. This structural design significantly reduces the overall size and footprint of the smart battery swapping cabinet 1, making it easier to deploy in confined community corners or high-traffic commercial areas, greatly improving the ease of deployment in different scenarios.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 According to the present invention, a smart battery swapping cabinet 1 is provided, wherein the water supply module 520 includes an active water supply pipeline 5221 and a passive water supply pipeline 5222, and the sprinkler module 510 includes an active spray nozzle 511 and a passive spray nozzle 512. The active spray nozzle 511 is connected to the water tank module 530 through the active water supply pipeline 5221, and the passive spray nozzle 512 is connected to the water tank module 530 through the passive water supply pipeline 5222.

[0058] Understandably, the active water supply line 5221 is primarily responsible for delivering water in active fire suppression scenarios. When the intelligent monitoring system of the battery swapping cabinet detects a fire or potential fire risk within the battery swapping compartment 20, the active water supply line 5221 will respond to control commands and directionally deliver water from the water tank module 530 to the active sprinkler nozzles 511, providing a water flow channel for active fire suppression actions and ensuring that water supply can be quickly activated in the early stages of a fire to promptly suppress the fire.

[0059] The active sprinkler nozzle 511, as the terminal execution component of the active fire suppression system, is connected to the water tank module 530 via the active water supply pipeline 5221. Upon receiving an active water supply signal, the active sprinkler nozzle 511 precisely sprays water into the corresponding battery swapping compartment 20, enabling targeted and rapid cooling and fire suppression of the fire area. Its rapid response effectively controls the spread of initial fires, making it the core execution point of the active fire suppression strategy.

[0060] The passive water supply line 5222 is designed to handle special or emergency passive fire suppression situations. For example, when the temperature inside the power exchange compartment 20 rises sharply and reaches the preset passive triggering conditions, the passive water supply line 5222 will automatically deliver water from the water tank module 530 to the passive sprinkler nozzle 512 using a relevant triggering mechanism (such as the melting of a fusible element). This eliminates the need for complex electronic control signals and serves as a supplement to the active water supply, further improving the reliability of fire suppression and preventing delays in fire suppression due to malfunctions in the active control system.

[0061] The passive sprinkler nozzle 512 is connected to the passive water supply line 5222 and functions when the passive water supply line 5222 is triggered. When a relatively urgent fire occurs in the battery swapping compartment 20, and may exceed the response range of the active fire suppression system or the active system malfunctions, the passive sprinkler nozzle 512 will spray water into the battery swapping compartment 20 driven by the water flow in the passive water supply line 5222. It does not rely on complex electronic control, but rather on a physical triggering mechanism, serving as a backup fire suppression system and further enhancing the safety and reliability of the water fire suppression system 50, ensuring that appropriate water spraying fire suppression measures are available in various fire scenarios.

[0062] In this way, by forming a dual water supply and spraying mechanism that is both active and passive, the water fire-fighting system 50 can respond to fires of different degrees and types more comprehensively and reliably, improving the fire-fighting efficiency and safety of the intelligent battery swapping cabinet 1, and better protecting the safety of the battery swapping cabinet and its internal batteries 2.

[0063] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 According to the present invention, a smart battery swapping cabinet 1 is provided, the cabinet body 10 includes multiple layers of crossbeams 110, the multiple layers of crossbeams 110 are spaced along the height direction of the cabinet body 10 to form compartment installation positions, multiple battery swapping compartments 20 are correspondingly arranged in the compartment installation positions, the bottom of the battery swapping compartment 20 is provided with a water return port 21, the crossbeams 110 are connected to each other to form a water return path 111, the water return path 111 connects the water return port 21 and the water tank installation position.

[0064] Understandably, the multi-layered beams 110 are important structural support components of the cabinet body 10, and their main function is to enhance the overall structural strength and stability of the cabinet body 10. The beams 110, spaced apart along the height of the cabinet body 10, effectively distribute the weight borne by the cabinet, including the weight of the cabinet body 10 itself, the battery swapping compartment 20, and the internal battery 2, preventing deformation of the cabinet during long-term use and ensuring the structural safety and service life of the battery swapping cabinet. Simultaneously, the beams 110 also form the basic structure for forming the compartment installation position and the return water path 111.

[0065] The mounting positions of the battery swapping compartments 20 provide precise and stable installation space. Due to the spaced distribution of the multi-layer crossbeams 110, multiple mounting positions can accommodate multiple battery swapping compartments 20, achieving an orderly arrangement of the battery swapping compartments 20 within the cabinet body 10. This ensures the stability of the battery swapping compartments 20 after installation, makes reasonable use of the space within the cabinet body 10, allows each battery swapping compartment 20 to operate independently and efficiently, and also facilitates the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the battery swapping compartments 20.

[0066] The return water inlet 21 is the starting point for the return flow of fire-fighting water in the battery swapping compartment 20. Its main function is to collect the water remaining in the battery swapping compartment 20 after fire extinguishing and guide it to the return water path 111. When the water fire-fighting system 50 is working, the water sprayed by the sprinkler module 510 will accumulate in the battery swapping compartment 20. The return water inlet 21 can promptly discharge this water from the battery swapping compartment 20, preventing water accumulation from damaging the battery 2 and other components in the battery swapping compartment 20, and also creating conditions for water recycling.

[0067] The return water path 111 is the channel through which fire-fighting water flows back to the water tank module 530. On one hand, the return water path 111, formed by the connection of the crossbeams 110, smoothly guides the water discharged from the return water inlet 21 at the bottom of the battery swapping compartment 20 to the water tank module 530 at the water tank installation position, achieving water recycling, reducing water waste, and lowering the frequency and cost of water replenishment. On the other hand, this design, utilizing the crossbeams 110 to form the return water path 111, eliminates the need for a dedicated return water pipeline, fully utilizing the structural components of the cabinet itself, simplifying the overall structure of the battery swapping cabinet, reducing production and installation costs, and saving space within the cabinet body 10, further improving space utilization.

[0068] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 According to the present invention, an intelligent battery swapping cabinet 1 is provided with a return port 120 at the bottom of the cabinet body 10, and a water tank module 530 includes a water tank body, on which a water inlet 531 corresponding to the return port 120 is provided.

[0069] Understandably, the return outlet 120 is the end point of the return water path 111 and also the connection node between the cabinet body 10 and the water tank module 530. The purpose of setting the return outlet 120 is to centrally discharge the fire extinguishing water delivered to the bottom of the cabinet body 10 through the return water path 111. After the water fire protection system 50 is working, the water accumulated in the power exchange compartment 20 enters the return water path 111 through the return water inlet 21 and finally converges at the bottom of the cabinet body 10. The return outlet 120 guides this water to the water tank module 530 in an orderly manner, ensuring that there is no water accumulation at the bottom of the cabinet body 10, avoiding water corrosion to the bottom structure or internal components of the cabinet, and providing a stable output channel for water recycling.

[0070] The inlet 531 is the entrance for the water tank module 530 to receive returned water. The return port 120 is positioned opposite the docking port, meaning that when water from the return port 120 reaches the water tank body area by gravity or natural flow, the inlet 531 can accurately receive this water, ensuring that all the water enters the water tank body and reducing water loss. This prevents leakage during the docking process, preventing leaked water from affecting the bottom support component 30 of the cabinet body 10 or the ground. Simultaneously, it ensures that the water tank body can efficiently recover firefighting water, maintain the water balance within the tank, and reserve water for the next firefighting operation, further improving the economy and environmental friendliness of the water fire protection system 50.

[0071] Reference Figure 4 According to the present invention, an intelligent battery swapping cabinet 1 is provided with a filter structure 532 at the water return port 21.

[0072] Understandably, the filter structure 532 is installed at the return water inlet 21 at the bottom of the battery swapping compartment 20, primarily to filter the water flowing into the return water path 111 from within the battery swapping compartment 20. During firefighting, the battery swapping compartment 20 may generate impurities due to battery 2 combustion, component damage, etc., such as ash from the burned battery 2, broken plastic residue, and metal fragments. If these impurities enter the return water path 111 through the return water inlet 21 with the water flow, they may clog the narrow pipes, affecting the smooth return of water. If impurities enter the water tank module 530, they may contaminate the water in the water tank, or even clog the pipes in the water supply module 520 or the spray nozzles of the sprinkler module 510, causing the water fire suppression system 50 to malfunction the next time it is used, preventing it from spraying water normally for firefighting and severely affecting the firefighting effect.

[0073] This embodiment, by installing a filter structure 532 at the return water inlet 21, can reduce maintenance costs and system failure risks caused by clogging; it can also ensure the cleanliness of the water in the water tank, ensuring that the water supply module 520 and the sprinkler module 510 can work normally during the next fire extinguishing, maintaining the reliability and stability of the water fire protection system 50. At the same time, the presence of the filter structure 532 also extends the service life of related components of the return water system, providing a strong guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the intelligent battery swapping cabinet 1.

[0074] In one embodiment, the water fire suppression system 50 further includes a heating component installed inside the water tank module 530, which is used to heat the water in the water tank module 530.

[0075] Understandably, this embodiment prevents freezing by directly heating water with a heating component, avoiding the pipe corrosion problems caused by adding brine and the risk of combustion associated with adding coolant. It ensures both the antifreeze effect and the safety and reliability of the water fire protection system 50. At the same time, the heating component can work with a temperature sensor to achieve precise temperature control, reducing energy consumption while meeting antifreeze requirements and meeting energy-saving requirements.

[0076] Reference Figures 7 to 9 According to the present invention, a smart battery swapping cabinet 1 is provided with hanging plates 130 extending towards the bottom surface on both sides of the bottom end of the cabinet body 10, and the water tank module 530 is installed on the bottom surface of the cabinet body 10 through the hanging plates 130.

[0077] Understandably, the mounting plate 130 provides a reliable mounting platform for the water tank module 530. When the water tank module 530 is installed at the water tank mounting position at the bottom of the cabinet body 10, the mounting plate 130 can limit and fix the water tank module 530 from both sides, preventing the water tank module 530 from shifting, shaking, or even falling off when the power exchange cabinet moves, vibrates, or is subjected to external impact, thus ensuring the structural stability of the water tank module 530 after installation.

[0078] Reference Figure 9 According to the present invention, an intelligent battery swapping cabinet 1 is provided, and the water fire protection system 50 further includes a water pump 540. The water pump 540 is connected between the water tank module 530 and the water supply module 520. The water pump 540 is connected to the water tank module 530 through a water pumping pipe 550. The water pump 540 is used to pump the water supply module 520 of the water tank module 530.

[0079] Understandably, the water pump 540 provides the power source for water delivery. The water tank module 530 is installed at the bottom of the cabinet body 10, while the sprinkler module 510 is located inside the power swapping compartment 20 (usually positioned higher than the water tank module 530). Relying solely on gravity is insufficient to ensure that the water flow can stably and quickly reach the sprinkler module 510 and form an effective spray. The water pump 540 draws water from the water tank module 530 through the water suction pipe 550, then pressurizes the water and delivers it to the water supply module 520, providing sufficient pressure and flow rate to ensure that during firefighting, the water supply module 520 can smoothly deliver water to each sprinkler module 510, giving the water sprayed from the sprinkler module 510 sufficient impact force and coverage, enabling it to quickly act on the fire source and achieve efficient firefighting.

[0080] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 9 According to the present invention, a smart battery swapping cabinet 1 is provided, wherein the water supply module 520 includes a main pipeline 521, multiple branch pipelines 522 and multiple solenoid valves 523, multiple battery swapping compartments 20 are arranged along the height direction of the cabinet body 10, and adjacent rows of battery swapping compartments 20 are spaced apart to form a pipe running space 140 extending along the height direction. The main pipeline 521 is arranged in the pipe running space 140 along the height direction, the branch pipelines 522 are respectively connected between the main pipeline 521 and the spray module 510 corresponding to each battery swapping compartment 20, and the multiple solenoid valves 523 are respectively connected between the main pipeline 521 and the branch pipelines 522.

[0081] Understandably, the conduit space 140 provides a dedicated channel for the arrangement of water supply pipes. When the battery swapping compartments 20 are arranged along the height of the cabinet body 10, the space between adjacent rows is not occupied by the storage of batteries 2, and can be used to accommodate the main conduit 521, avoiding exposed pipes or occupying internal space of the battery swapping compartments 20, making the cabinet structure more compact. At the same time, the design extending along the height direction adapts to the layout requirements of the main conduit 521, ensuring that the pipes can extend from the bottom to the top of the cabinet body 10, covering all battery swapping compartments 20, which facilitates pipe installation and maintenance, and reduces interference with other functional areas of the cabinet.

[0082] The main pipeline 521 serves as the main channel for water transport, responsible for centrally transporting water supplied by the water tank module 530 or water pump 540 to the various levels of the power exchange compartment 20. Arranged along the vertical direction within the pipe space 140, it minimizes the distance to each power exchange compartment 20, reduces pipeline length and water flow resistance, ensures the stability of water flow during high-pressure transport, and lays the foundation for subsequent branch water supply.

[0083] Branch pipe 522 acts as a bridge between main pipe 521 and sprinkler module 510, responsible for accurately distributing water from main pipe 521 to sprinkler module 510 in each battery swapping compartment 20. Each battery swapping compartment 20 is connected by an independent branch pipe 522, ensuring that water flow can be directionally delivered to the corresponding area, avoiding water flow interference between different battery swapping compartments 20, realizing on-demand water supply, and improving water resource utilization efficiency.

[0084] Solenoid valve 523 acts as a switch for water flow control, precisely regulating the on / off state of each branch pipe 522. When a fire occurs in a battery swapping compartment 20, the control system can individually trigger the opening of the solenoid valve 523 of the corresponding branch pipe 522, allowing water to flow through the branch pipe 522 to the sprinkler module 510 of that battery swapping compartment 20 for targeted fire suppression; while the solenoid valves 523 corresponding to other battery swapping compartments 20 that are not on fire remain closed to avoid wasting water resources. This independent control method not only improves the accuracy and timeliness of fire suppression but also reduces energy and water consumption during the fire suppression process, while minimizing the impact on batteries 2 in non-fire areas.

[0085] Reference Figure 9 According to the present invention, an intelligent battery swapping cabinet 1 also includes a cover plate 150, which covers the front side of the pipe running space 140.

[0086] It is understandable that the main pipe 521, branch pipe 522, solenoid valve 523, etc., within the pipe space 140 are all core components of the water fire protection system 50, and the normal operation of these components is directly related to the fire extinguishing efficiency of the water fire protection system 50. The cover plate 150 clearly separates these water fire protection components from the external environment of the battery swapping cabinet and the internal battery 2 storage area through physical isolation.

[0087] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
