AI Technical Summary
Existing thermal runaway detectors are inconvenient to install in sealed enclosures, and unstable airflow and ambient light interference can lead to missed and false alarms, affecting detection stability and accuracy.
An external thermal runaway detection device was designed. The inner wall of the lower shell is provided with inclined ridges and interlaced grooves to form a labyrinth-like gas path. The detection element is placed outside the sealed box. The black matte surface is combined to reduce light interference. The overall structure is integrally molded to improve sealing and detection accuracy.
It enables convenient installation and maintenance of the detection device, extends the smoke residence time, reduces missed and false alarms, improves detection stability and accuracy, and reduces production costs and assembly complexity.
