SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTINGUISHING FIRE IN HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240173581 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTINGUISHING FIRE IN 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 cooling water to the battery when a fire occurs. The system includes a battery cell assembly, an upper cooling passage, an upper plate with through-holes, and solderings that melt at a predetermined temperature to allow the cooling water to flow into the battery cell assembly.
- Battery cell assembly
- Upper cooling passage for cooling water flow
- Upper plate with through-holes separating the battery cell assembly and cooling passage
- Solderings in through-holes melting at a predetermined temperature
- Cooling water supply to battery cell assembly when solderings melt due to high temperature
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and other high voltage battery systems to prevent and extinguish fires effectively.
Problems Solved
1. Fire hazards in high voltage battery systems 2. Ensuring safety and preventing damage to the vehicle and surrounding environment
Benefits
1. Enhanced safety features in high voltage battery systems 2. Quick response to fire incidents 3. Preventing potential damage and accidents
Potential Commercial Applications
Implementing this technology in electric vehicle manufacturing Integrating the system in battery management systems for enhanced safety
Possible Prior Art
There are existing fire suppression systems for batteries, but this specific method of using solderings to trigger the supply of cooling water in response to a fire may be a novel approach.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system differentiate between a fire and other high temperature events in the battery?
The system is designed to respond to a predetermined temperature threshold, but it is unclear how it distinguishes between a fire and other high temperature events that may occur in the battery.
What is the maintenance required for the solderings and cooling water supply system?
It is not specified in the abstract how the system is maintained or if there are any specific requirements for the solderings and cooling water supply system to ensure proper functionality over time.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system and a method for extinguishing a fire in a high voltage battery for a vehicle, which supply cooling water flowing in an upper portion of a high voltage battery to the high voltage battery when a fire occurs in the high voltage battery, extinguishing the fire, include a battery cell assembly, an upper cooling passage which is provided in an upper portion of the battery cell assembly and through which cooling water flows, an upper plate including at least one through-hole and disposed between the battery cell assembly and the upper cooling passage to separate the battery cell assembly and the upper cooling passage, and solderings disposed in the at least one through-hole in the upper plate at intervals and configured to be melted at a predetermined temperature. when a temperature of the battery cell assembly due to the fire is predetermined temperature or higher, the solderings are melted and the cooling water is supplied to the battery cell assembly.
