Explosions have always been synonymous with danger, but a German company wanted to use explosions to provide safety for your electric car. With the development of electric vehicles, more and more consumers are choosing electric vehicles. But electric vehicles also face problems that traditional fuel vehicles do not have.
German research company Bosch explained the problems faced by electric and hybrid vehicles. The traditional fuel car accident is easy to cause fuel leakage, which causes the car to burn. However, the electric car is powered by the battery pack. Not only will it have a burning problem, but it will also be threatened by electricity leakage. The transmission between the battery pack and the motor of the electric vehicle relies on electric wires, but the wires are likely to be cut off in the accident, and the electric current of the battery pack is likely to be transmitted to the driver through the vehicle body, causing secondary injuries to the people in the car. .
In order to solve this problem, Bosch has strategically integrated the semiconductor into the electrical system and connected it with the airbag sensor. If a collision is detected, the sensor will trigger the airbag and control the semiconductor to detonate a wire connection and detonate a small Explosion cuts the high-voltage cable and isolates the cut end. This can ensure that the current does not cause harm to the people in the car from the root cause.
Bosch's semiconductor technology is mature, which makes it relatively easy to integrate it into modern hybrid or electric vehicles. They are about the size of nails and weigh only a few ounces, so they can be installed anywhere, even if they are retrofitted to a previous production version.
Bosch believes that as hybrid and electric vehicles become more common on the world's roads, this explosive technology can save lives. To ensure safety and time for rescuers, this may become the same standard as seat belts in future cars. Karl-Heinz Knorr, deputy chairman of the German Firefighters Association (DFV), said: "Facing more and more electric vehicles that may involve collisions, if we want to help and Such a system is absolutely necessary for the task of rescuing victims of road accidents. "
However, as a research company, Bosch is not responsible for the production of cars. So when will this explosion safety device meet us? Only when more electric cars enter the market will people pay enough attention to this technology.
Cars are constantly developing, and problems about cars are constantly emerging and being solved. The development of electric vehicles is doomed, but at present it is still a long way from full maturity. It is the accumulation of this technology from Bosch that will bring us better and safer electric vehicles. Driving experience.
