The cell safety protective device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the battery protection technical field, cell safety protective device particularly is used for preventing that battery from crossing thermal runaway and causing burning.
Background technology
Battery will be brought into play vital role as the important component part of regenerative resource and new forms of energy.Lithium battery is since succeeding in developing, because it has the operating voltage height, the advantage such as specific energy is large, has extended cycle life, and self-discharge rate is low, and is pollution-free is widely used, and also is the first-selected battery that cooperates the new forms of energy development of countries nowadays.
Traditional lithium battery mainly cooperates the electronic products such as IT and communication to use, and capacity is less, and technology is quite ripe; Cooperate new forms of energy and stored energy application, need lithium battery capacity is done greatly, it is the safety issue of product that battery capacity is done the large afterwards thing followed, as, the 4.2V lithium battery that capacity is 100Ah, energy can discharge about 5 seconds fully behind the internal short-circuit, its internal short-circuit battery will reach 72000 peaces, so high electric current must make internal temperature of battery moment rising, causes " thermal runaway ", and thermal runaway is the main cause that causes the battery catching fire.At present people's research of improving lithium battery safety all concentrates in the improvement of the mechanism of inside battery and material mostly, as add flame-retardant additive, the development of new barrier film, change both positive and negative polarity active material etc., because these improvement measures relate to technical barrier too many in the basic research, perhaps will change the present lithium battery resources of production and technical resource, thereby the fail safe of lithium battery improves that progress is very slow always, produce little effect.
Now, no matter domestic and international, use high-capacity lithium battery that the accident of catching fire is all arranged in the new forms of energy pure electric vehicle of pilot operation, make the development of industry cover with shade, the research that has even have to reduce the specific energy of battery system for the safety that solves lithium battery also proposes to adopt the low-down material of some specific energies, such as lithium titanate etc., although also can play in some effects, battery is eternal theme toward the high-energy development, also is the direction of from now on effort.Thereby the fail safe yet of high-capacity lithium-ion electricity is not singly restricting the development of lithium battery technology, is seriously restricting the utilization of lithium battery on pure electric vehicle yet.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is in order to solve current battery because internal short-circuit makes the instantaneous rising of internal temperature of battery, causes the problem of battery catching fire and the cell safety protective device that provides.
For reaching above-mentioned functions, technical scheme provided by the invention is:

Preferably, described starting drive is temperature sense switch.
Preferably, described starting drive is the hot melt switch.
Preferably, described hot melt switch is the hot melt chock plug, and described hot melt chock plug cooperates with described connecting tube by screw thread, is provided with sealing ring and heat shield between described hot melt chock plug and the described connecting tube.
Preferably, described battery case is provided with pressure relief device.
Preferably, described pressure relief device is unidirectional valve.
Preferably, described storage container top is provided with Pressure gauge and valve.
Preferably, described cooling agent is liquid CO

Embodiment
The present invention is further elaborated to accompanying drawing 3 below in conjunction with accompanying drawing 1:
Embodiment one:
Cell safety protective device as shown in Figure 1; comprise battery case 1; be arranged at the storage container 2 that battery case 1 external memory contains cooling agent; in the present embodiment; battery case 1 is that the seal case that adopts stainless steel material to make (is clear expression internal structure of the present invention in Fig. 1; the one side of seal case does not represent); more than one battery 3 or battery pack series connection are fixedly installed in the annular seal space of battery case 1; battery case 1 is connected with the storage container 2 that stores cooling agent by metal connecting tube road 4, and the part that connecting tube 4 is positioned at battery case 1 is provided with more than one starting drive 41.
Starting drive 41 is used for opening connecting tube 4, and the cooling agent in the storage container 2 is entered in the battery case 1.In the present embodiment, starting drive 41 adopts the hot melt switch, and after the hot melt switch referred to reach uniform temperature, described hot melt switch just can melt automatically; Certainly starting drive 41 also can adopt miscellaneous equipment as required, such as temperature sense switch etc.
As shown in Figure 3, it is 120 ℃ that in the present embodiment hot melt switch adopts fusing point--the hot melt chock plug 5 that 300 ℃ material is made, hot melt chock plug 5 is provided with external screw thread, be provided with the internal thread that matches with the external screw thread of hot melt chock plug 5 on the connecting tube 4, hot melt chock plug 5 is tightened on the connecting tube 4 by threaded engagement, for the cooling agent in the connecting tube 4 can not leaked, also be provided with sealing ring 7 between hot melt chock plug 5 and the connecting tube 4; Owing to there is the existence of cooling agent can cause hot melt chock plug 5 lower with the temperature of cooling agent contact position in the connecting tube 4, so even the temperature in the battery case 1 has reached the fusing point of hot melt chock plug 5, hot melt chock plug 5 can not melt yet, thereby lost efficacy, also be provided with a heat shield (6) between hot melt chock plug 5 and the connecting tube 4 for preventing this from occurring.
Because liquid CO
2In being converted into the vaporescence of gaseous state, need to absorb a large amount of heats environment temperature is reduced rapidly, and CO
2Itself has fire-retardant effect, simultaneously liquid CO
2Price is also cheap, so present embodiment preferentially adopts liquid CO
2As cooling agent.
Liquid CO in the storage container 2
2Enter battery case 1 interior after, can cause the pressure in the battery case 1 to rise rapidly, for preventing that battery case 1 from being cracked or because there is other potential safety hazard in hypertonia, being provided with pressure relief device 11 at battery case 1, in the present embodiment, adopt unidirectional valve as pressure relief device 11.
For make things convenient for user or maintenance personal can be at a glance know and pressure condition in the storage container 2 determine whether that the top that needs to change storage container 2 is provided with Pressure gauge 21; Simultaneously can close this storage container 2 when changing storage container 2, the top of storage container 2 also is provided with controlled valve 22.
Embodiment two:
As shown in Figure 2, in the present embodiment, storage container 2 is arranged in the battery case 1, so that the maintenance personal carries out integral replacing.Other parts in the present embodiment are identical with embodiment one, no longer describe in detail here.
Operation principle of the present invention is as follows: in use, when a certain battery 3 or battery pack were short-circuited, the heat that discharges can cause the temperature in the battery case 1 to raise, when temperature is higher than the fusion temperature of hot melt chock plug 5,5 fusings of hot melt chock plug, the liquid CO in the storage container 2
2Can enter rapidly in the battery case 1 liquid CO
2Thereby a large amount of heat of absorption makes the drop in temperature in the battery case 1 in the process of vaporization, thereby has effectively prevented thermal runaway, avoids battery 3 catching fires.
The above embodiment, it is preferred embodiments of the present invention, be not to limit practical range of the present invention, so all equivalences of doing according to the described structure of the present patent application claim, feature and principle change or modify, all should be included in the patent claim of the present invention.
