Abstract

This application relates to an exhaust system for an energy storage device, an energy storage device, and an electrical device. When thermal runaway occurs inside a battery cabinet of the energy storage device, high-temperature fumes can be expelled directionally into a corresponding exhaust assembly through an exhaust port under the action of a guide assembly, and then expelled out of a box through the exhaust assembly, thereby implementing directional exhaustion of the high-temperature fumes in the battery cabinet, avoiding explosion of the battery cabinet or secondary hazards, and improving safety performance of the energy storage device.

Claims (14)

1 . An exhaust system for an energy storage device, wherein the energy storage device comprises a box and at least two battery cabinets disposed in the box, and an exhaust port is created on each battery cabinet, and the exhaust system comprises:

an exhaust assembly, communicating with each of the exhaust ports sequentially, and configured to collect fumes expelled from the exhaust ports; and

at least two guide assemblies, wherein each guide assembly is disposed between one of the exhaust ports and the exhaust assembly in communication with the exhaust port, and is configured to expel the fumes in the battery cabinet out of the box unidirectionally from the exhaust assembly through the exhaust port.

2 . The exhaust system according to claim 1 , wherein the exhaust assembly comprises at least two branch pipes, one end of each branch pipe communicates with one of the exhaust ports, and another end of the branch pipe extends out of the box; and

each guide assembly is disposed between one of the exhaust ports and the branch pipe in communication with the exhaust port, and is configured to expel the fumes in the battery cabinet out of the box unidirectionally from the branch pipe.

3 . The exhaust system according to claim 2 , wherein the exhaust assembly comprises a main pipe, and all the branch pipes communicate with the main pipe and extend out of the box through the main pipe.

4 . The exhaust system according to claim 1 , wherein the exhaust assembly comprises at least one partition plate, each of the partition plates comprises an inner cavity configured to temporarily store fumes, and each inner cavity communicates with an exterior of the box; and

each exhaust port communicates with the inner cavity of at least one partition plate, and each guide assembly is disposed between one of the exhaust ports and the inner cavity in communication with the exhaust port, and is configured to expel the fumes in the battery cabinet out of the box unidirectionally from the partition plate.

5 . The exhaust system according to claim 1 , wherein each guide assembly comprises an exhaust valve, and the exhaust valve is configured to control opening/closing of a passage between each exhaust port and the exhaust assembly in communication with the exhaust port.

6 . The exhaust system according to claim 5 , wherein each guide assembly further comprises a connecting piece, the exhaust valve is disposed in the connecting piece, one end of the connecting piece along an extension direction of the connecting piece communicates with a corresponding exhaust port, and another end of the connecting piece communicates with a corresponding exhaust assembly.

7 . The exhaust system according to claim 1 , wherein each guide assembly comprises a protection piece hermetically disposed at a corresponding exhaust port, and the protection piece is able to be detached from the exhaust port under an impact force of the fumes in a corresponding battery cabinet.

8 . The exhaust system according to claim 7 , wherein the protection piece is made of an aluminum laminated film.

9 . An energy storage device, comprising a box, an battery cabinet disposed in the box, a control module, and the exhaust system according to claim 1 , wherein the exhaust system implements communication between the battery cabinet and an exterior of the box, and the control module is communicatively connected to the exhaust system.

10 . An electrical device, comprising an electrical main body and the energy storage device according to claim 9 .
