FIRE EXTINGUISHING APPARATUS OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17730445 titled 'FIRE EXTINGUISHING APPARATUS OF VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a fire extinguishing apparatus for vehicles that can effectively extinguish fires by spraying a fire extinguishing agent directly and uniformly over a wide area of a battery cell covered with an external structure. The apparatus includes a cover, a spray nozzle, a controller, a driving device, and a fire extinguishing agent supplying device.
- The apparatus is designed to extinguish fires in vehicles, specifically targeting battery cells covered with an external structure.
- It sprays a fire extinguishing agent uniformly and directly over a wide range, ensuring effective fire suppression.
- The apparatus includes a cover to protect the battery cell and other components from damage during the fire extinguishing process.
- A spray nozzle is used to disperse the fire extinguishing agent in a controlled manner.
- A controller is responsible for coordinating the operation of the apparatus.
- A driving device is included to control the movement of the spray nozzle.
- A fire extinguishing agent supplying device ensures a continuous supply of the extinguishing agent.
Potential Applications
- This fire extinguishing apparatus can be used in electric vehicles to protect the battery cells from fire hazards.
- It can also be applied in other vehicles that have battery cells covered with external structures, such as hybrid vehicles.
Problems Solved
- The apparatus addresses the challenge of effectively extinguishing fires in vehicles with battery cells covered by external structures.
- It solves the problem of ensuring a uniform and direct spray of the fire extinguishing agent over a wide area, increasing the effectiveness of fire suppression.
Benefits
- The apparatus provides an efficient and reliable method for extinguishing fires in vehicles, particularly those with battery cells.
- It helps protect the battery cells and other components from damage during the fire extinguishing process.
- The uniform and direct spray of the fire extinguishing agent ensures effective fire suppression, minimizing the risk of further damage or re-ignition.
