Abstract

The present application is provided with a fluid storage apparatus of a battery pack, including: a box, where the box has an inner cavity; a partition member, where the partition member is located in the inner cavity of the box, and the partition member divides the box into a fluid storage portion and a gas storage portion. The fluid storage portion is used to store spraying liquid and the fluid storage portion has a fluid outlet; the gas storage portion is used to store gas and the gas storage portion has a fluid inlet. And the partition member is configured to move toward the fluid outlet under the action of compressed gas in the gas storage portion.

Claims (14)

1. A fire-fighting fluid storage apparatus, the fire-fighting fluid storage apparatus used for a battery pack, comprising:

a box, wherein the box has an inner cavity;

a partition member, wherein the partition member is located in the inner cavity of the box, and the box is divided into a liquid storage portion and a gas storage portion by the partition member;

wherein the liquid storage portion is provided with a fluid outlet, and the gas storage portion is provided with a fluid inlet,

a fire-fighting fluid in the liquid storage portion is configured to be driven by the partition member to move toward the fluid outlet under the action of compressed gas in the gas storage portion;

wherein a mounting portion is connected to an outer side of the box, the mounting portion is configured to mount with a housing of the battery pack, and the mounting portion extends downward the box; wherein the mounting portion is provided at only one side of the fluid inlet to provide support by the mounting portion.

2. The fire-fighting fluid storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid outlet is configured to be located below the fluid inlet.

3. The fire-fighting fluid storage apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the fluid inlet is arranged at a box top wall or a box side wall of the box, and the fluid outlet is arranged at a liquid storage side wall of the liquid storage portion;

along the height direction of the box, a distance between the fluid inlet and a bottom of the box is greater than a distance between the fluid outlet and the bottom of the box.

4. The fire-fighting fluid storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the partition member is configured to a retractable structure.

5. The fire-fighting fluid storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the fire-fighting fluid includes fluorinated liquid.

6. The fire-fighting fluid storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the partition member comprises a diaphragm, the diaphragm is configured to be expanded under the action of the compressed gas in the gas storage portion, to push the fire-fighting fluid in the liquid storage portion to move toward the fluid outlet.

7. The fire-fighting fluid storage apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the diaphragm is an Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) diaphragm.

8. The fire-fighting fluid storage apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting portion has a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are configured to connect an external equipment with bolts or pins, between the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, one is a round hole and the other is an oblong hole, the oblong hole is configured to trim the position of the fire-fighting fluid storage apparatus, or to adapt to errors generated in the manufacturing and assembly process, and the round hole is configured to secure to the external equipment.
