In Article 1, The above control unit is An electric vehicle fire prevention parking device characterized by controlling the lift unit to move downward when an electric vehicle enters the above parking space and there is a request for parking or charging, thereby moving the parking plate on which the electric vehicle is parked downward to the bottom surface of the water barrier groove, so as to maintain the electric vehicle in a state of being contained within the water barrier groove during charging.

Description

Parking Device For Electric Vehicle Fire Prevention The present invention relates to a parking device for electric vehicle fire prevention that enables rapid fire suppression in the event of an electric vehicle fire by providing a water-blocking groove in advance in the parking space of the electric vehicle and parking or charging the electric vehicle within the water-blocking groove. Due to climate change, exhaust emissions from internal combustion engine vehicles are being regulated worldwide, and electric transportation is rapidly becoming widespread as various support policies are being implemented to introduce eco-friendly vehicles such as electric cars. However, due to the nature of electric mobility requiring periodic charging, charging facilities must be equipped in parking spaces, and damage caused by fires during the charging process is occurring frequently. The causes of fire during charging may include overload, fire caused by overcurrent, defects in the charger or charging cable, impact or drop of the vehicle during charging, and poor contact between the charger and the vehicle. In general, early fire suppression is crucial because fires occurring during the charging process or in batteries can cause massive property damage due to their tendency to spread easily through explosions. Due to the nature of electric vehicles, where batteries are built internally, they do not easily extinguish even when fire extinguishing agents are sprayed from the outside; therefore, methods of extinguishing fires by immersing the batteries in fire extinguishing agents are being widely researched and developed. To this end, conventional electric vehicle fire prevention devices are being developed to extinguish fires by installing a watertight barrier or water tank around parked electric vehicles and filling it with fire extinguishing liquid; however, there was a problem in that initial fire suppression was delayed due to the time required to install the barrier or water tank. In addition, there was a problem where fire suppression itself was impossible if a watertight wall or watertight tank was not installed due to damage caused by fire.
