Battery system for vehicle
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a battery system for a vehicle, which comprises: a battery pack installed in a trunk room of the vehicle and provided with a plurality of battery cells and an electrolyte; a cooling device circulating cooling water to cool an engine installed in the vehicle; and a safety device that injects the cooling water of the cooling device into the battery pack to cool the battery pack through impregnation of the cooling water to the plurality of battery cells when a temperature of the battery pack increases to a preset temperature or more.
1. A battery system for a vehicle, comprising:
a battery pack installed in a trunk room of the vehicle and provided with a plurality of battery cells and an electrolyte;
a cooling device configured to circulate cooling water to cool an engine installed in the vehicle;
a safety device having an injection tube configured to inject the cooling water of the cooling device into the battery pack to cool the battery pack through impregnation of the cooling water to the plurality of battery cells when a temperature of the battery pack increases to a preset temperature or more;
a felt having fine holes located in the battery pack near the injection tube; and
a material comprising salt being provided in the felt, the material being dissolvable into the cooling water injected into the battery pack to increase electrical conductivity.
2. A battery system for a vehicle, comprising:
a battery pack installed in a trunk room of the vehicle and provided with a plurality of battery cells and an electrolyte;
a cooling device circulating cooling water to cool an engine installed in the vehicle;
a safety device that injects the cooling water of the cooling device into the battery pack to cool the battery pack through impregnation of the cooling water to the plurality of battery cells when a temperature of the battery pack increases to a preset temperature or more, the safety device including:
an injection tube through which the cooling water of the cooling device is injected into the battery pack;
a switching valve that switches an opening and closing of the injection tube;
a temperature sensor detecting a temperature of the battery pack; and
a controller that opens the switching valve to inject the cooling water of the cooling device into the battery pack when the temperature of the battery pack, which is detected by the temperature sensor, is above the preset temperature,
a felt having fine holes located in the battery pack near the injection tube; and
a material comprising salt being provided in the felt, the material being dissolvable into the cooling water injected into the battery pack to increase electrical conductivity.
3. The battery system of claim 1 , wherein the battery pack comprises a check valve that discharges air within the battery pack to the outside.
4. The battery system of claim 2 , wherein the battery pack comprises a check valve that discharges air within the battery pack to the outside.
