Abstract

The present application provides a battery pack and a spraying system thereof. The spraying system comprises: a spraying pipeline configured to circulate a fire-fighting fluid circulation, the spraying pipeline being capable of forming an opening after being heated; and a first gas storage portion configured to store a compressed gas, where the compressed gas in the first gas storage portion is capable of driving the fire-fighting fluid in the spraying pipeline to be discharged under the action of gas pressure. In the present application, the gas pressure of the compressed gas in the first gas storage portion can provide the power for discharging the fire-fighting fluid from the opening of the spraying pipeline, such that the fire-fighting fluid can be continuously discharged from the spraying pipeline, and there is a large flow rate in the discharging process, so as to ensure that the spraying system has a good spraying effect.

Claims (38)

1. A battery pack, comprising:

a housing having an inner cavity;

a unit battery provided in the inner cavity of the housing, the unit battery being provided with an explosion-proof valve; and

a spraying system which comprises:

a spraying pipeline configured to circulate a fire-fighting fluid, the spraying pipeline being capable of broken and forming an opening after being heated;

a first gas storage portion configured to store a compressed gas;

a liquid storage portion; and

a fire-fighting fluid storage device;

wherein the compressed gas in the first gas storage portion is capable of driving the fire-fighting fluid in the spraying pipeline to be discharged under the action of gas pressure, and the spraying pipeline of the spraying system is arranged corresponding to the explosion-proof valve;

wherein the compressed gas in the first gas storage portion is further capable of driving the fire-fighting fluid in the liquid storage portion to enter the spraying pipeline under the action of gas pressure;

wherein the fire-fighting fluid storage device comprises:

a tank having an inner cavity; and

a partition member located in the inner cavity of the tank, the partition member dividing the tank into the liquid storage portion and the first gas storage portion,

wherein the liquid storage portion has a fluid outlet, the fluid outlet being in communication with the spraying pipeline, and the first gas storage portion is configured to have a fluid inlet; and

the partition member is capable of driving the fire-fighting fluid in the liquid storage portion to move toward the fluid outlet under the action of the compressed gas in the first gas storage portion;

wherein a liquid storage bottom wall of the liquid storage portion comprises a first planar portion and an inclined portion; and

wherein the battery pack further comprises a mounting portion connected to an outer side of the tank, a height of the mounting portion is greater than that of the inclined portion; and the mounting portion is provided on one side of the fluid inlet so as to provide support by the mounting portion to withstand the greater pressure at the fluid inlet.

2. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the first gas storage portion and the liquid storage portion are arranged separately but are in communication with each other, and the compressed gas in the first gas storage portion is capable of entering the liquid storage portion.

3. The battery pack according to claim 2 , comprising two liquid storage portions, wherein the two liquid storage portions are respectively in communication with two ends of the spraying pipeline; and

the first gas storage portion is in communication with the two liquid storage portions.

4. The battery pack according to claim 2 , comprising two liquid storage portions and two first gas storage portions, wherein

one end of each of the two liquid storage portions is respectively in communication with either end of the spraying pipeline, and the other end of each of the two liquid storage portions is respectively in communication with either of the two first gas storage portions.

5. The battery pack according to claim 2 , comprising one liquid storage portion and one first gas storage portion, and further comprising one second gas storage portion, wherein

one end of the spraying pipeline is in communication with the liquid storage portion, and the other end thereof is in communication with the second gas storage portion.

6. The battery pack according to claim 2 , wherein a flow valve is provided between the first gas storage portion and the liquid storage portion; and

a one-way valve is provided between the first gas storage portion and the liquid storage portion.

7. The battery pack according to claim 5 , wherein a flow valve is provided between the first gas storage portion and the liquid storage portion, and a flow valve is provided between the second gas storage portion and the spraying pipeline; and

a one-way valve is provided between the first gas storage portion and the liquid storage portion, and the one-way valve is provided between the second gas storage portion and the spraying pipeline.

8. The battery pack according to claim 1 , comprising a fire-fighting fluid storage device, wherein the fire-fighting fluid storage device comprises a tank provided with a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet;

the fluid inlet is located above the fluid outlet; and

an inner cavity of the tank is configured to store a fire-fighting fluid and a compressed gas, and the fire-fighting fluid in the inner cavity of the tank is capable of being discharged from the fluid outlet under the action of the compressed gas.

9. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the partition member comprises a partition plate and is capable of moving relative to an inner wall of the tank under the action of the compressed gas in the first gas storage portion, to push the fire-fighting fluid in the liquid storage portion to move toward the fluid outlet; and

a slidable sealing member is provided between an outer peripheral wall of the partition plate and the inner wall of the tank.

10. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the partition member comprises a diaphragm, which is capable of expanding under the action of the compressed gas in the first gas storage portion, to push the fire-fighting fluid in the liquid storage portion to move toward the fluid outlet.

11. The battery pack according to claim 9 , wherein the liquid storage portion and the first gas storage portion are distributed in a lengthwise direction L of the tank, and the partition member is capable of moving in the lengthwise direction L of the tank.

12. The battery pack according to claim 9 , wherein the liquid storage portion and the first gas storage portion are distributed in a height direction H of the tank, and the liquid storage portion is located below the first gas storage portion; and

the partition member is capable of moving in the height direction H of the tank.

13. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the fire-fighting fluid in the spraying pipeline and the liquid storage portion is fluorinated liquid.
