Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fire extinguishing devices, and specifically relates to a fire extinguishing device for electric vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] When a lithium battery experiences thermal runaway, the positive electrode decomposes and releases oxygen (such as O2 released by ternary lithium batteries). No external combustion is required, and traditional methods of isolating oxygen (such as dry powder or carbon dioxide) become largely ineffective. The temperature of the runaway cell can reach 1800℃, and the heat spreads rapidly through the module structure, triggering a "domino effect."

[0003] Currently, there are two common external fire extinguishing methods. One is the dike immersion method: using flood control barriers to surround the vehicle to form a pool of water, which completely submerges the battery pack. The other is under-vehicle directional spraying: deploying high-pressure resistant metal pipes under the vehicle to spray water directly from below. This method also uses a variety of devices, such as the utility model patent with patent number 202320007958.8, publication number CN219251491 U, and patent name "An Electric Vehicle Battery Fire Extinguishing Device".

[0004] The advantage of the cofferdam immersion method is uniform cooling and a shorter extinguishing time of less than 30 minutes (compared to over an hour for traditional spraying). However, this method is limited by its reliance on large equipment and is difficult to operate in underground parking garages. The advantage of under-vehicle directional spraying is its ability to directly spray water to cool battery packs located under vehicles, providing good cooling without the need for large equipment. However, this method is limited by its inability to isolate the affected vehicle from other vehicles. In densely populated parking areas, if fire extinguishing and cooling are not timely enough, a battery explosion could cause surrounding vehicles to catch fire. Therefore, existing under-vehicle directional spraying fire extinguishing systems need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0013] Furthermore, connecting rings are fixed on both the left and right sides of the fireproof partition, which can be used to quickly fix two adjacent fireproof partitions. This can be achieved by using nylon ropes, chains, or buckles.

[0014] Furthermore, a straight metal pipe with several second nozzles is fixedly installed on the top of the fireproof partition. The second nozzles are inclined downwards to quickly extinguish flames on the vehicle roof in some confined special areas, reducing the risk of injury to personnel engaged in firefighting.

[0015] Furthermore, both ends of the straight metal pipe are equipped with quick-connect fittings to facilitate connection to fire water pipes, another straight metal pipe, or plugs.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this patent according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] Example 1: See Appendix Figure 1-2 An electric vehicle fire extinguishing device includes a vehicle under-vehicle spray device and a set of fireproof partitions 2. The fireproof partitions 2 are 1.55 meters high and 1.6 meters long. The exterior of the fireproof partitions 2 is made of fireproof color steel plate and the interior is filled with 50 mm thick rock wool.

[0029] The main body of the under-vehicle sprinkler device is a metal pipe frame 1. Several first nozzles 3 are arranged along the axial direction of the upward side of the metal pipe frame 1 for spraying water from bottom to top. Four first wheels 4 are fixedly installed on the downward side of the metal pipe frame 1, respectively located at the four corners of the metal pipe frame 1. Second wheels 5 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the fireproof partition 2. In this example, four second wheels 5 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of each fireproof partition 2 through connecting brackets. Both the first wheels 4 and the second wheels 5 are omnidirectional wheels. A horizontal quick-connect port 6 connected to the metal pipe frame 1 is also fixedly installed to facilitate the connection of fire water pipes.

[0030] The metal tube frame 1 consists of a rectangular outer tube and several straight inner tubes. The straight inner tubes are connected to the rectangular outer tube and fixed by a tee connector 12. The straight inner tubes are parallel to the short side of the rectangular outer tube and perpendicular to the long side of the rectangular outer tube. The length of the short side of the rectangular outer tube is less than the front wheel track of a car, typically 1-1.3 meters. The horizontal quick-connect port 6 is located at the middle of the short side of one side of the rectangular outer tube. Next to the horizontal quick-connect port 6 is a movable rod 7 that fits onto the outside of the tube wall of the rectangular outer tube. The movable rod 7 is a telescopic rod with a handle 8 made of insulating and heat-resistant material at its end.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, connecting rings 9 are fixed on both the left and right sides of the fireproof partition 2. The connecting rings 9 can be used to quickly fix two adjacent fireproof partitions 2. This can be achieved by using nylon ropes, chains or buckles.
