EMERGENCY DEGASSING ARRANGEMENT, MOTOR VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR DISCHARGING GAS EMERGING FROM A BATTERY CELL FROM A MOTOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18443566 titled 'EMERGENCY DEGASSING ARRANGEMENT, MOTOR VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR DISCHARGING GAS EMERGING FROM A BATTERY CELL FROM A MOTOR VEHICLE
The patent application describes an emergency degassing arrangement for a motor vehicle, specifically for discharging gases from a battery cell.
- The arrangement includes a gas discharge channel with an outlet opening for releasing gases into the surroundings.
- An emergency degassing device is located at the end of the channel, featuring a closure with a rotatable flap for controlling the gas flow.
- The flap can be moved from a closed position to an open position by rotating around a pivot axis, allowing the gas to be diverted away from the outlet opening.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in electric vehicles to safely release gases from the battery cells in case of emergencies. - It can also be implemented in other types of vehicles with battery-powered systems to prevent potential hazards related to gas buildup.
Problems Solved: - Provides a safe and controlled way to release gases from battery cells in emergency situations. - Helps prevent the risk of gas-related accidents or damage to the vehicle.
Benefits: - Enhances the safety of electric vehicles by offering a reliable emergency degassing mechanism. - Improves overall vehicle performance and longevity by ensuring proper gas management.
Commercial Applications: - Electric vehicle manufacturers can integrate this technology into their designs to meet safety regulations and enhance the reliability of their products. - Battery system suppliers can also benefit from incorporating this innovation into their offerings to provide added value to their customers.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the emergency degassing device ensure the safe release of gases from the battery cells? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the automotive industry in terms of safety standards and regulations?
Original Abstract Submitted
An emergency degassing arrangement for a motor vehicle, which has a gas discharge channel for discharging gases emerging from a battery cell from the motor vehicle into the surroundings of the motor vehicle, an outlet opening of the gas discharge channel located at one end of the gas discharge channel and opening into the surroundings, and an emergency degassing device which is arranged at the end of the gas discharge channel and has a closure. This closure comprises a flap which is rotatably mounted around a pivot axis for closing the outlet opening, and the flap is transferable from a closed position to at least one open position by rotating around the pivot axis, in which a gas flowing out of the outlet opening and partially flowing against the flap can be diverted by the flap.
