Abstract

PURPOSE:To extinguish a fire at its start and eliminate a space for installing a fire extinguishing pipe and a heat loss due thereto by connecting one end of a pipe-like main conductor, where many nozzles are penetratedly installed, to a fire extinguishing appliance. CONSTITUTION:A main conductor 5 is made like a pipe where many nozzles 6 are penetratedly installed and one end thereof is connected to a fire extinguishing appliance 8. The battery unit can be always operated at a high temperature like an ordinary one, and a current flow can be drawn through the main conductor 5. If a fire should break out, however, a fire extinguishing agent if supplied to the inside of the pipe-like main conductor 5 from the fire extinguishing appliance 8, so that the agent is blown in the inside of a heat insulating container 1 from the nozzles 6 and the inside temperature is instantaneously lowered to extinguish the fire. It is thereby possible to extinguish a fire when it breaks out, and eliminate a space for installing a fire extinguishing pipe and eliminate heat loss due to such a space.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, in the first and fourth devices of the present invention, the main conductor is pipe-shaped with a large number of transparent nozzles, and one end of the main conductor is connected to a fire extinguishing device. In the event of an outbreak, extinguishing agent is ejected through the pipe-shaped main conductor toward the cells inside the insulated container, making it possible to reliably extinguish the fire. Moreover, according to the present invention, since the main conductor and the fire extinguishing pipe are combined, it is possible to eliminate extra space for installing the fire extinguishing pipe and the heat loss caused by the extra space. Furthermore, since the main conductor is always placed above the cell, a nozzle is attached to the main conductor and extinguishing agent is spouted from the top of the battery to be extinguished, thereby ensuring fire extinguishment.
