Title:
STORAGE BATTERY UNIT AND METHOD FOR DETECTING FIRE OF STORAGE BATTERY UNIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/026499
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In the present invention, in order to establish a method for quickly and accurately detecting fire of a storage battery unit from among already-used devices without adding a device, a control unit that monitors a state of a storage battery unit comprising a plurality of storage battery cells and that controls charging/discharging, has a function of monitoring temperature states of the plurality of storage battery cells and determining a temperature difference between the storage battery cells. Regarding a storage battery cell detected to have a temperature equal to or higher than a first threshold value, the control unit opens a line breaker connected in series to the cell, compares the detected temperature of the cell with the detected temperature of a storage battery cell other than the cell, and determines that occurrence of a fire of the storage battery unit has been detected, if at least one of conditions of: the temperature difference between the two cells being at least a second threshold value; a rising rate of the detected temperature of the cell being at least a third threshold value; or the highest value of the detected temperature of the cell being at least a fourth threshold value, is satisfied.
