- a storage container configured to house at least one electrical energy storage unit.
- the electrical energy storage unit considered may be an electric energy storage battery, of the LMP® type (for Lithium Metal Polymer) or of the Lithium Ion type.
- This container has a general configuration known per se. In this case, it is a metal container that has the shape of a rectangular or square parallelepiped.
- This container 1 has a wall upper roof and ceiling 10, a bottom wall 11 forming a floor, and four peripheral walls and vertical referenced 12 to 15.
- the lower wall 11 is provided, as is known per se, means for introducing the forks of a forklift, so as to be able to move the container 1.
- this lower wall 11 as well as preferably the upper wall 10, has at its four corners means for positioning and wedging several containers of this type stacked on each other.
- the four aforementioned peripheral walls are more precisely a front wall 12, a rear wall 13 and two right and left side walls 14, 15.
- the front wall 12 is provided with two swinging doors 2, namely a right swing door 2a and a left swing door 2b. Together, they occupy substantially the entire surface of the front wall 12.
- These doors naturally include a vertical hinge pin 21 placed closer to the vertical edges of the front wall 12. They are also provided with a locking device that keeps them in the closed position. This locking device 20, of known type, will not be explained more precisely.
- this container 1 comprises a wall which is provided with at least one vent hatch 3.
- the hatches 3 visible in FIG. 1 are three in number.
- a hatch 3a equips the door 2a above, while a hatch 3b equips the door 2b.
- the wall which forms the right side wall 14 of the container 1 is also provided with a hatch 3c.
- this embodiment is absolutely not limiting.
- the rear wall 13 as well as on the second peripheral wall 15 at least one hatch of the same type as those visible here.
- the upper wall 10 that is to say, the roof, is also equipped.
- the hatches could be absent on the front wall and be present only, for example, on the other peripheral walls and / or on the upper wall.
- Another alternative could be to have a hatch 3 confused with one and / or the other of the doors 2a and 2b.
- the hatch 3a which is shown in the open position in FIG. 2 makes visible the electric energy storage units 4 as mentioned above, which are stored inside the interior space E of the container 1, storage made possible. through, for example, support racks, not described in more detail in the following description.
- the container comprises, within its interior space E, for example near the top wall 10, a smoke detector referenced D. More particularly, the smoke detector D is arranged against the upper wall 10 and above and in line with all the stacked storage units.
- vent hatches 3 are movable between a closed position called normal position, in which they close the wall they equip, and an open position called security position, in which they communicate the space inside E of container 1 with the outside.
- FIGS. 3 Reference will now be made more specifically to FIGS. 3 and following to explain the structure and operation of these vent hatches, as well as the nature and function of the means which make it possible to automatically switch them from one position to the other.
- the hatch 3 represented can be the hatch 3a of FIG.
- the description that will be made also applies to the other hatches that equip the container, unless otherwise specified.
- This hatch 3 formed here of an insulating plane panel, is associated with a rectangular metal frame 30 which forms a frame, which is provided with a peripheral seal 300, shown more particularly in FIGS. 6 and 7. 3 is articulated on this frame by hinges 31, so that its pivoting from a closed position to an open position is around a vertical axis passing through the longitudinal axis of these hinges.
- hinges 31 incorporate means for returning the hatch 3 in the open position, known as the safety position.
- the hatch 3 occupies an open position, or in other words that the rest position of the springs of the hinge corresponds to an open position of the hatch 3.
- these return means can be chosen from the following list: one or more cylinders, in particular pneumatic or electric, a prestressed elastomer material, at least one spring such as a torsion spring or a compression spring, or a combination of at least two of these return means.
- the container also comprises means for retaining the hatch 3 which are shaped to hold it in the normal position, ie in the closed position, and which become inoperative as soon as they receive information related to the detection of smoke, via the detector D, or information related to the operation of the storage units, via management means, as described below.
- these retaining means 5 consist of an electromagnetic sucker 51 integral with a plate 50, itself fixed on a corresponding part of the inner wall of the door 2, so that the suction cup is arranged such that so that it returns at least partially in a recess 32 provided in the thickness of the hatch 3 (see in particular Figure 6).
- retaining means 5 which here consist of an electromagnetic pad can be replaced by any type of means for retaining the hatch in the closed position.
- This may be for example one or more remote control pneumatic kits usually used in the context of fire escape hatches. It can also be an electromagnetic or electropneumatic lock, or an electromagnetic or electropneumatic strike.
- the hatch 3 is also provided with a position sensor 6, which allows to automatically check if the latter is in the closed position.
- This sensor 6 is for example composed of a roller (or a shoe) mounted to rotate, and a compression spring which moves the roller / shoe from a position constrained against the hatch 3 to a released position when the hatch 3 is open.
- the smoke detector When the smoke detector is activated, the latter sends the corresponding information to a central computer controlled, which triggers, inter alia, the opening of all hatches 3, namely that it cuts off the power of the electromagnetic suction cups described above. In doing so, the hatches 3 all pass into the open position, called "security", because of the presence of the return means 31.
- the container 1 may contain management means, such as an automaton (otherwise called Programmable Logic Controller), which perform among other things one or more measurements of at least one operating parameter of the storage units 4 and which are configured to automatically, selectively or simultaneously pass said traps from said normal position to said safety position, as soon as the measurement made reaches a predetermined set value.
- an automaton otherwise called Programmable Logic Controller
- the parameter in question can be the temperature, the intensity, the voltage, etc., the set value then corresponding to an abnormal value of this parameter, which value can also be parameterizable according to the applications.
- the container could comprise several detectors connected to one another and / or to the aforementioned central unit to trigger simultaneously or independently the opening of several traps.
- each hatch 3 can be thermally insulated if necessary and can support members of the type of ventilation grilles, or fans, air conditioning equipment, registers, etc.
- the container 1 is equipped with several hatches 3, it is possible to envisage a combination of opening these traps according to the direction of the wind to allow better evacuation of the fumes. In this case, there will be adequate sensors connected to the central intelligence of the container to optimize the opening of these traps.
- the container may be provided with a blower device to evacuate the smoke more quickly.
- a sound alarm device can be connected to the smoke detector and the central intelligence, so as to prevent the nearby environment in case of fire.
- the hatches were considered as being formed of a plane and occulting material.
- these traps have a slightly convex shape, in the manner of what is called by anglicism "skydome”.
- these traps could be made of a translucent or transparent material.
