Abstract

An explosion-proof box for batteries is provided, including: an outer shell; an inner shell, the inner shell being positioned inside the outer shell; and a flame arresting device, the flame arresting device running through both the outer shell and the inner shell, where the flame arresting device includes: an exhaust passage configured to discharge gases generated within the inner shell to the outside of the outer shell; and recesses disposed on the inner surface of the exhaust passage for absorbing heat energy.

Claims (20)

1 . An explosion-proof box for batteries, comprising:

an outer shell;

an inner shell, the inner shell being positioned inside the outer shell;

a bracket inside the explosion-proof box; and

a flame arresting device, the flame arresting device extending through both the outer shell and the inner shell, wherein the flame arresting device comprises:

an exhaust passage configured to discharge gases generated within the inner shell to an outside of the outer shell; and

recesses disposed on an inner surface of the exhaust passage for absorbing heat energy,

wherein the recesses are a plurality of metal annular members arranged on the inner surface of the exhaust passage, and

wherein the batteries are detachably connectable to the bracket.

2 . The explosion-proof box for batteries according to claim 1 , wherein a heat insulation space is provided between the inner shell and the outer shell, and the heat insulation space is configured to prevent energy transfer through contact-based heat conduction from the inner shell to the outer shell.

3 . The explosion-proof box for batteries according to claim 2 , wherein support members are provided between the outer shell and the inner shell, and the support members support the inner shell so that the heat insulation space is formed between the inner shell and the outer shell.

4 . The explosion-proof box for batteries according to claim 3 , wherein the support members are embedded bolts.

5 . The explosion-proof box for batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the outer shell comprises a heat-resistant material.

6 . The explosion-proof box for batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the inner shell comprises a ceramic material.

7 . The explosion-proof box for batteries according to claim 1 , wherein ceramic heat insulation panels are arranged around an inner wall of the explosion-proof box.

8 . The explosion-proof box for batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the flame arresting device detachably extends through both the outer shell and the inner shell.

9 . The explosion-proof box for batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the explosion-proof box is provided with an opening, and the batteries are capable of being placed into and stored in the inner shell through the opening.

10 . The explosion-proof box for batteries according to claim 9 , wherein the opening is provided with a detachable high-temperature resistant sealing strip.

11 . The explosion-proof box for batteries according to claim 10 , wherein the explosion-proof box further comprises a door, and the high-temperature resistant sealing strip is sealed at a gap of the door.

12 . The explosion-proof box for batteries according to claim 1 , wherein corners of the outer shell are made of iron.
