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, providing a quick and effective way to extinguish fires and prevent further damage.
Benefits
- Improved safety for vehicles with high voltage batteries - Quick response to battery fires - Minimization of damage to the vehicle and surrounding environment
Potential Commercial Applications
"Fire Extinguishing System for High Voltage Batteries: Enhancing Safety in Electric Vehicles"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing fire suppression systems for vehicles, but this specific system tailored for high voltage batteries may be a novel innovation in the field.
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, but the specific detection method is not mentioned in the abstract.
What is the capacity of the fire-extinguishing liquid tank and how long can it sustain the fire suppression process?
The abstract does not provide details on the capacity of the tank or the duration of the fire-extinguishing process.
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.
