BATTERY AND ELECTRIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18448374 titled 'BATTERY AND ELECTRIC APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a battery and an electric apparatus that includes a firefighting pipe and multiple battery cells. - The battery cells are equipped with a pressure relief mechanism that is designed to release internal pressure in a specific direction when the pressure or temperature inside the battery cell reaches a certain threshold. - The firefighting pipe is located on the side of the battery cells where the pressure relief mechanism is present and is arranged in a staggered manner with the mechanism. - The firefighting pipe has a drainage opening that is designed to discharge a firefighting medium towards the pressure relief mechanism when it is activated. - The purpose of the drainage opening is to cool the battery cell more quickly by allowing the firefighting medium to be directed towards it. - The innovation aims to enhance the safety of the battery by improving the cooling process of the battery cell.
Original Abstract Submitted
A battery and an electric apparatus are described. The battery includes a firefighting pipe and a plurality of battery cells provided with a pressure relief mechanism. The pressure relief mechanism is configured to be actuated and release internal pressure in a first direction when the internal pressure or temperature of the battery cell reaches a threshold; the firefighting pipe is arranged on a side of the plurality of battery cells that is provided with the pressure relief mechanism, and is disposed in a staggered manner with the pressure relief mechanism; and the firefighting pipe is provided with a drainage opening, where the drainage opening is configured to discharge a firefighting medium toward the pressure relief mechanism when the pressure relief mechanism is actuated, so as to cool the battery cell. The battery allows the firefighting medium to more quickly cool a battery cell, thereby improving safety of the battery.
