Because the fire extinguishing liquid in the second liquid storage tank 53 needs to be used for emergency treatment, if the fire extinguishing liquid deposit in the second liquid storage tank 53 is insufficient, then can make the second liquid storage tank 53 can't play the effect of putting out a fire at the key moment, through the degree of depth that detects the liquid of putting out a fire in the second liquid storage tank 53, when the liquid level was low excessively in the second liquid storage tank 53, in time start-up water pump 51 annotates liquid to the second liquid storage tank 53 to can guarantee the emergency capacity of second liquid storage tank 53, improve holistic security level.
Specifically, the first water level detecting unit 63 may generate a first water level prompt signal by triggering a corresponding switch through a lever when the floating body falls to a first predetermined height value, or may monitor the liquid level height through an infrared device. Further, in order to timely supplement the fire extinguishing fluid to the first liquid storage tank by using the liquid injection pipe after the fire extinguishing fluid in the first liquid storage tank 43 is excessively evaporated, the detection module further comprises a second water level detection unit 64 arranged in the first liquid storage tank 43; the second water level detection unit 64 is used for sending a second water level prompt signal to the main control module 70 when the height of the fire extinguishing liquid level in the first liquid storage tank 43 is smaller than a second preset height value; the main control module 70 controls the valve of the liquid injection pipe to open according to the second water level prompt signal.
Referring to fig. 2, in the energy storage device 100b of the second embodiment, the flow dividing mechanism 30 is connected to an end of the liquid feeding pipe 52. So that the fire extinguishing fluid output from the water pump 51 can be discharged from the flow dividing mechanism 30.
Specifically, the energy storage device 100a may be a charging cabinet, a power exchange cabinet, or an energy storage cabinet.
Referring to fig. 3, the present invention further provides a fire extinguishing method for an energy storage device, including the following steps:
s10: detecting the abnormal temperature condition in the main cabinet body;
s20: delivering the fire extinguishing fluid in the first fluid storage mechanism 40 to the flow dividing mechanism 30;
s30: the shunting mechanism 30 sprays the lithium battery unit 20 with abnormal temperature;
s40: the fire extinguishing fluid flowing through the lithium electric unit 20 is recovered to the first reservoir mechanism 40.
Through when lithium cell 20 produces the temperature anomaly, let the fire extinguishing fluid of storage in the first stock solution mechanism 40 be carried to reposition of redundant personnel mechanism 30 according to the detection feedback, and spout lithium cell 20 surface through reposition of redundant personnel mechanism 30, thereby play the effect of putting out a fire to lithium cell 20, in addition, because pour the fire extinguishing fluid that drenches lithium cell 20 and retrieve and store by first stock solution mechanism 40, thereby it is sustainable or put out a fire or cool down lithium cell 20 in the longer time, until lithium cell 20's electric quantity exhausts, stop discharge and generate heat, prevent that lithium cell 20 from being reburning once more after being put out a fire.
In one embodiment, the step S10 of detecting the abnormal temperature condition in the main cabinet includes: if the temperature abnormality or the smoke is detected in the main cabinet, the charge and discharge circuit of the lithium battery unit 20 is cut off, and a remote maintenance notification is sent to the user.
In step S30, the diversion mechanism 30 performs the shower of the lithium battery cell 20 having the temperature abnormality, and includes: the flow dividing mechanism 30 takes fire extinguishing liquid from a second reservoir 53 located above the flow dividing mechanism 30.
In this embodiment, through when lithium cell 20 produces the temperature anomaly, main control module 70 starts the operation that supplies liquid mechanism 50 according to the feedback that detects the module, let the fire-extinguishing fluid of storage in the first stock solution mechanism 40 be carried to reposition of redundant personnel mechanism 30, and spout lithium cell 20 surface through reposition of redundant personnel mechanism 30, thereby play the effect of putting out a fire to lithium cell 20, in addition, because the fire-extinguishing fluid of watering lithium cell 20 is retrieved and is stored by first stock solution mechanism 40, thereby sustainable or put out a fire or cool down lithium cell 20 in the longer time, until lithium cell 20's electric quantity exhausts, stop discharge and generate heat, prevent that lithium cell 20 from being after being put out a fire again after the afterburning.
