This invention relates to the field of
battery energy storage technology, and discloses a container
system for preventing
thermal runaway and a method for suppressing
thermal runaway. The
system includes a container shell, multiple battery packs installed inside, a pressure relief port, a
smoke collection trough, and an explosion relief plate
assembly. A flow channel is formed inside the
battery pack to guide
thermal runaway gas to the rear pressure relief port; the
smoke collection trough collects the gas and discharges it directionally through the explosion relief plate. A U-shaped flow channel is formed inside the
battery pack via a top cover and flow guide strips, and an explosion-proof valve and sealing structure are provided; the
smoke collection trough consists of inner and outer sealing plates and baffles, employing a multi-slot independent design to achieve
thermal isolation; the explosion relief plate
assembly is driven by a spring-telescopic column mechanism for rapid opening. The
system uses multi-
sensor fusion judgment to simultaneously open the explosion relief plate and activate the
fire suppression system upon confirmation of thermal runaway, allowing the extinguishing agent to be precisely injected into the faulty
battery pack through the smoke collection trough. This invention achieves directional flow, isolated
discharge, and rapid suppression of thermal runaway gas, effectively preventing heat spread and improving
system safety.
