Abstract

PURPOSE:To quickly cope with a fire by stretching a temperature detection wire meltable with an abnormal temperature rise of a cell around the inside of a heat insulating container, and connecting a disconnection detecting circuit or a detection circuit which transmits a pulse to detect a position of wire breaking with reflection of the pulse to the end portion of the temperature detection wire drawn out of the heat insulator container. CONSTITUTION:A temperature detection wire 4 which melts at an abnormal temperature rise of a cell 2 is stretched around the inside of a heat insulator container 1. If the temperature of the cell 2 should abnormally rise, therefore, this temperature detection wire 4 instantaneously melts. The melting of this temperature detection wire 4 can be instantaneously detected by a disconnection detecting circuit 5 or a detection circuit 6 connected to the end portion of the temperature detection wire 4. When the detection circuit 6 is connected to the end portion, not only melting of the wire 4 but also a melting position thereof can be accurately detected by use of the time difference until a reflection pulse returns, so that it is possible to detect at which cell 2 an abnormality had occurred, and it is thereby possible to quickly cope with a fire.

(Prior art) A high-temperature battery device is an arrangement in which a large number of, for example, sodium-sulfur cells are connected and arranged inside an insulated container kept at a high temperature of about 300 to 350°C, and can store a large amount of electric power. It is attracting attention as a battery device.

However, if the container for such a single cell is damaged for some reason, the active materials, such as sodium and sulfur, may leak out, potentially causing a fire due to abnormally high temperatures. In order to quickly deal with such fires, it is being considered to install a large number of sensors such as thermocouples inside the heat insulating container to immediately detect the occurrence of abnormally high temperatures and cool the container. However, even if a large number of thermocouples and the like are to be arranged inside an insulating container with limited space, it is not easy to draw out the lead wires, and the structure becomes extremely complicated.

For this reason, until now, no high-temperature battery device was known that had a means to accurately detect the occurrence of an abnormality inside an insulated container, and an abnormality detection sensor had to be attached to the outside of the insulated container, resulting in a delay in detection. However, there was an unavoidable drawback.

In the present invention, a single temperature detection wire (4) is stretched around the inside of the heat insulating container (1). The battery is 43
If the temperature exceeds 0°C to 450°C, there is a risk that the container will be damaged and the active material will leak. For this reason, this temperature detection wire (4) is made of, for example, a 380% metal such as a lead-tin alloy or a zinc alloy.
It is made of a material that melts at a temperature of about 430° C. and can melt when the cell (2) becomes abnormally heated. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the temperature detection wire (4) may be passed through the bottom of each cell (2) in a zigzag pattern depending on the arrangement of the cells (2), or may be placed around each cell (2). It is preferable to wind them in order. Furthermore, this wire can function as a detection wire by insulating it with a highly heat-resistant glass coating.
