Battery Rack Fire Supply Layout for Airtight Module Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery racks face challenges in efficient installation, assembly, and fire safety due to complex and inefficient fire extinguishing agent delivery systems, which deteriorate manufacturing efficiency and airtightness, and lack design flexibility and accurate positioning.
Innovation Solution
A battery rack design featuring a layered structure with a fire extinguishing agent supply member including a supply pipe and valves connected to each battery module, equipped with positioning pins for precise placement and a fixing frame for secure attachment, eliminating the need for separate tee configurations and enhancing airtightness and assembly efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple pipes and tees are interconnected to spray fire extinguishing agent to each battery module, then fire extinguishing coverage is improved, but assembly time increases and manufacturing efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple separate pipe connections and tee junctions are merged into a single integrated fire extinguishing agent supply member that can deliver the agent to multiple battery modules simultaneously. This integration eliminates the need for assembling multiple separate pipe components, thereby reducing assembly time while maintaining comprehensive fire extinguishing coverage across all battery modules.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the fire extinguishing agent supply member is designed to fit various battery rack sizes, then adaptability is improved, but design flexibility deteriorates due to varying pipe lengths
Solution Approach 1:
The supply member incorporates an adjustable or flexible structure that can adapt its configuration to different battery rack sizes without requiring completely different designs. This dynamic adaptability allows the same supply member design to accommodate various rack dimensions while maintaining design flexibility through standardized components.
3Reliability
If the fire extinguishing agent supply member is installed to match positions of multiple battery modules, then fire extinguishing precision is improved, but positioning accuracy deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The supply member is pre-configured with connection points and orientation features that align with standard battery module positions. This preliminary arrangement of connection features enables accurate positioning and matching with battery modules during installation, thereby achieving precise fire extinguishing coverage without requiring complex positioning adjustments.
