SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTINGUISHING FIRE OF HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18242404 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTINGUISHING FIRE OF HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY FOR VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for extinguishing a fire in a high voltage battery for a vehicle by supplying a fire-extinguishing liquid to a fire extinguishing case when a fire occurs in the battery, submerging the battery in the liquid.
- Battery cell assembly
- Fire extinguishing case
- Fire extinguishing liquid tank
- Supply valve
- Controller
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other high voltage battery systems to enhance safety in case of a fire.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of fire safety in high voltage batteries for vehicles, providing a reliable method for extinguishing fires quickly and effectively.
Benefits
- Improved safety for electric and hybrid vehicles - Rapid response to battery fires - Minimized risk of damage to the vehicle and surrounding environment
Potential Commercial Applications
"Fire Extinguishing System for High Voltage Batteries in Vehicles" can be used in electric vehicle manufacturing, battery system development companies, and fire safety equipment suppliers.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional fire extinguishing systems for vehicles, which may not be specifically designed for high voltage battery fires.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system determine when a fire occurs in the battery cell assembly?
The controller is configured to conclude that a fire occurs in the battery cell assembly, but the specific detection method is not detailed in the abstract.
What type of fire-extinguishing liquid is used in the system?
The abstract mentions a fire-extinguishing liquid, but the composition or properties of the liquid are not specified.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system and a method for extinguishing a fire of a high voltage battery for a vehicle, which supply a fire-extinguishing liquid to a fire extinguishing case in a form of a container when a fire occurs in a high voltage battery provided in a vehicle, submerging the high voltage battery in the fire-extinguishing liquid, include a battery cell assembly, a fire extinguishing case to accommodate the battery cell assembly, a fire-extinguishing liquid tank connected to the fire extinguishing case, wherein a fire-extinguishing liquid is stored in the fire-extinguishing liquid tank, a supply valve provided between the fire-extinguishing liquid tank and the fire extinguishing case and configured to supply or block the fire-extinguishing liquid from the fire-extinguishing liquid tank to the fire extinguishing case, and a controller electrically connected to the supply valve and configured to open the supply valve to supply the fire-extinguishing liquid to the fire extinguishing case when the controller concludes that the fire occurs in the battery cell assembly.
