MECHANICAL DRILLING AND FLUID INJECTION APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE BATTERIES.

Abstract

The invention relates to a mechanical apparatus that enables rapid internal cooling of vehicle batteries (8) in case of fire or overheating. The invention basically consists of a main body (1) that houses the entire system, a pusher arm (2) that moves linearly on this body, a heat-resistant flexible water hose (3) that provides fluid transmission, and a drilling nozzle (4) that pierces the battery and sprays fluid inside. The drilling nozzle (4), which rises under the drive of the pusher arm (2), is guided within the support guards (5) and nozzle housing (6) to drill the vehicle battery (9) in a perfectly vertical axis without deviation. During and after the drilling phase, pressurized fluids from the water hose (3) are directly injected into the internal volume of the battery (9) by means of the drilling tip.
