Battery case bottom penetration sprinkler for electric vehicle fire suppression
[0001] The present invention relates to a battery case lower penetration water sprinkler for extinguishing a fire in an electric vehicle, and relates to a battery case lower penetration water sprinkler for extinguishing a fire in an electric vehicle, which enters the space between the ground and the body of the electric vehicle, penetrates the lower part of the battery case of the electric vehicle, supplies firefighting water, and extinguishes a fire.
[0002] Recently, due to global oil price hikes and CO2 regulations, fuel efficiency of automobiles has been improved and eco-friendly hybrid and electric vehicles are being developed.
[0003] Electric vehicles are largely comprised of an electric motor, a battery, and a power conversion device (inverter). In particular, the high-voltage battery pack used in electric vehicles is designed to supply the necessary power by repeatedly charging and discharging while the vehicle is in motion.
[0004] These high-voltage battery packs are designed to prevent fires in advance by blowing the fuse or shutting off the relay connected to the inverter when an internal short circuit or overcurrent occurs.
[0005] Meanwhile, if a fire breaks out inside a high-voltage battery pack due to a malfunction in the wires or battery management system (BMS) that make up the battery system, such as an external shock or internal short circuit, the battery will burn completely. That is, the battery cell's negative active material supplies substances like carbon, while the battery's positive active material supplies oxygen. Therefore, once a fire breaks out, the battery will burn completely.
[0006] Because of this, there was a problem that if a fire spread to the electric vehicle itself, including the high-voltage battery pack, the electric vehicle could be completely destroyed.
[0007] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0136830 and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0113795 disclose technologies for extinguishing fires in high-voltage battery packs.
[0008] However, the above technologies have the problem of increasing the size of the battery and increasing manufacturing costs as separate fire extinguishing equipment is installed inside the electric vehicle or battery.
[0009] In addition, the batteries of electric vehicles are packaged in small battery cells as modules, and multiple modules are packaged as packs and managed by a battery management system. Since they are isolated from the outside world by cases and cages at each stage of packaging, it is difficult to access the battery, which is the source of ignition, in a short period of time.
[0010] Accordingly, conventionally, fires are extinguished by raising the side of the electric vehicle to continuously waterproof the battery case loaded underneath, by piercing the battery case with a piercing nozzle to inject fire water, by mechanically or by using compressed gas to pierce the battery case to inject water or chemicals, or by submerging the electric vehicle in a large water tank.
[0011] However, the method of extinguishing a fire by raising the side of an electric vehicle to waterproof it or submerging the electric vehicle in a large tank required large equipment to lift the electric vehicle or one side, making it difficult to quickly extinguish the fire.
[0012] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the applicant has developed a device (Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2609595) that penetrates the battery case of an electric vehicle using a drill for drilling and then sprays water.
[0013] The applicant has continuously researched and developed a device that sprays water by penetrating the bottom of a battery case, and has developed a penetrating water spray device that is easier to penetrate the bottom of a battery case, can supply a large amount of water in a shorter period of time, and has a simpler structure, and has filed a follow-up application.

[0037] The base plate (12) is bent so that the side entering the lower part of the electric vehicle is inclined upward.
[0038] The elevator plate (18) has a guide bar penetration hole (not shown) through which an elevator guide bar (15) passes on the corner side, and a fire extinguisher passage hole (19) is formed through the center side in the length and width directions.
[0039] On the upper surface of the top plate (21), a number of tapered spikes (23) are formed with a diameter that becomes narrower as they go upward.

[0041] The fire water inflow chamber (32) is mounted on the center side of the lower surface of the elevator plate (18) so as to close the fire water passage hole (19) from below. The fire water inflow chamber (32) has a receiving space (34) open toward the fire water passage hole (19), and a fire hose (7) is connected thereto, and a fire hose connection port (35) communicating with the receiving space (34) is formed.
[0042] The fire hose (7) may be connected to a fire hydrant (8) as shown in Fig. 1, or may be connected to a fire truck (9) to supply fire water into the fire water inlet chamber (32).

[0050] It is preferable that the upper part of the second penetration portion (54) formed with a plurality of cutting blades (57) around the periphery be formed so that the inner diameter becomes narrower as it goes upwards so that the power to discharge fire water temporarily increases.
[0051] It is preferable that the perforation (56) be formed with an outer circumferential diameter in the range of 25 to 50 mm.

[0053] The auxiliary cutting groove (58) is formed so that the depth of insertion decreases toward one side of the width facing the direction in which the perforation shaft (43) rotates, and is positioned adjacent to the upper end of the cutting blade (57) so that the width of the other side of the width becomes narrower toward the top.
[0054] The auxiliary cutting groove (58) is formed by a spirally extended inlet surface (59) that is positioned to be introduced from the outer surface of the perforation (56) toward the center with a constant width; a first side surface (60) that extends along the other side of the width of the inlet surface (59) but is perpendicular to the inlet surface (59); and a second side surface (61) that extends along one side of the width of the inlet surface (59) but forms an obtuse angle with the inlet surface (59) and is introduced with a shorter length than the first side surface (60).
[0055] The lifting operation unit (71) has one longitudinal end rotatably connected to a pair of lifting members (22), and the other longitudinal end spaced apart from the longitudinal end by a predetermined distance is rotatably connected to a rotation support member (27), and is formed to protrude from the support frame (11) located below the battery case (3) of the electric vehicle (1) and to be rotated by a user by being gripped.
[0056] Specifically, the lifting operation unit (71) has a pair of first rotation bars (72) whose longitudinal ends are rotatably connected to the lifting member (24) and whose longitudinal ends are rotatably connected to the first rotation support member (27) at a predetermined distance from the longitudinal end, a first connecting bar (75) connecting the other ends of the pair of first rotation bars (72), and a handle portion (78) that extends from the first connecting bar (75) in a direction away from the fire extinguisher receiving chamber (32) and protrudes laterally or forwards and backwards with respect to the electric vehicle (1) when the hole cutter (51) is positioned below the battery case (3) of the electric vehicle (1).
[0057] The first rotation bar (72) is formed by penetrating one side in the longitudinal direction and extending in the longitudinal direction so that a first shaft (25) protruding from the lower end of the lift member (24) extends through it and a first shaft coupling hole (73) in the form of a long hole extending in the longitudinal direction is formed, and a second shaft coupling hole (29) is formed by penetrating in a circular shape at a predetermined distance from the first shaft coupling hole (73) on the other side in the longitudinal direction so that a second shaft (28) penetratingly mounted on the first rotation support member (27) passes through it.

Although not shown, a remote control may be applied to the operating unit, and in this case, a receiving device that receives the operating command signal of the operating unit and transmits it to the driving motor (64) is mounted on one side of the driving motor (64).
[0060] The operation of a battery case lower penetration sprinkler device (10) for suppressing electric vehicle fires according to one embodiment of the present invention having a structure as described above is described.
[0061] A user who wishes to extinguish a fire in an electric vehicle (1) positions a support frame (11) equipped with a perforation sprinkler unit (31) into the space between the body (2) of the electric vehicle (1) where the fire broke out and the ground through the broken handle (78).
[0062] Then, as the driving motor (64) is driven and the drilling tool (42) rotates together with the worm wheel (40), the fire water supplied from the fire hose (7) flows into the fire water inlet chamber (38) and is discharged through the hollow (45) of the drilling shaft (43) to the discharge port (52) of the hole cutter (51), the handle portion (78) of the lifting operation portion (71) is lowered to raise the lifting plate (18).
