When it comes to spontaneous combustion of automobiles, it is always frightening, it is different from other faults, it is not easy to detect in the early stage of spontaneous combustion, and when it is basically too late to find a fire. If you didn't have a fire extinguisher at the time, you could have burned the entire car and suffered serious damage. Although the probability of spontaneous combustion of vehicles is unlikely, there are vehicles that spontaneously combust in every region every year. Therefore, as the temperature gradually rises, we should pay special attention to avoid some bad habits in the process of using the car. Recently, a car owner in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province has caused spontaneous combustion of the vehicle because of the problem of car habits, so we should all take caution.
Here's the thing, at night, the owner parked the car, set it up to start charging at 22 o'clock, just half an hour after the charging started, at about 22:37, there was a fire in the car, the fire went from small to large, lasted for about 6 minutes and then extinguished itself, the reason for the extinguishing was that the oxygen in the car was exhausted. Because it was a fire in the car, the windows were closed at that time, and the sealing was good, and the oxygen was exhausted in a few minutes, and the fire extinguished itself, and in the end there were no serious consequences, which was very lucky. The reason for the fire was that the USB interface in the car was plugged into the mobile phone charging data cable, and the data cable interface was heated due to failure, which eventually led to spontaneous combustion of the vehicle.
I think most people will have a data cable in their car to charge their mobile phones, and those with a USB interface in the car will be plugged in directly, and those without a USB interface will also buy a mobile phone charging head that is plugged into the cigarette lighter. If you run long distances, especially when you need to use your mobile phone for navigation, the power consumption of your mobile phone is relatively fast, and you must charge your mobile phone. However, when the charge is finished, most people will only unplug the phone, and the charging cable will not be unplugged. If everything is fine with the charging port and charging cable, there is no problem if you do not pull it out. However, there is a time when everything is broken, and once the charging port fails, or even a short circuit, the charging cable that has been plugged in will start to heat up. When heat accumulates to a certain extent, it can lead to spontaneous combustion. Especially when charging, the vehicle will not enter the sleep state, and will always supply power to these interfaces, which is a greater safety hazard.
Therefore, through this incident, we are told that no matter what kind of car, as long as the charging cable is unplugged as much as possible after parking at night, in order to eliminate any possible safety hazards. If you install other electrical equipment, such as air purifiers, inverters and other high-power electrical appliances, remember to unplug them. We use it when we drive, and when a breakdown occurs, we can find it in time and take measures in time. For example, if there is a short circuit in any line, in the early stage of the fire, there will be a burning smell or smoke, and the driver can find it in time. After parking at night, there is no one in the car, and any situation can not be found in time, so it can only be allowed to develop, and the harm is higher.
In addition, no flammable or explosive materials should be placed in the car, especially if summer is approaching. If the vehicle is exposed to the sun, the temperature in the car can reach sixty or seventy degrees, and the temperature on the surface of the center console is even higher, and the placement of flammable and explosive materials is also a very big hidden danger. For example, a lighter, which is a must-have for smokers, should not be put on the dashboard. Car perfume should not be placed on the dashboard, because the perfume contains alcohol, and after volatilization, it is also prone to spontaneous combustion after being baked at high temperature. In addition, the perfume bottle can create a focusing effect similar to a magnifying glass, which can create a fire risk if focused on flammable materials. Similarly, reading glasses, mineral water, etc., have a focusing effect at a specific angle, and there is a risk of spontaneous combustion if it is irradiated on flammable materials. There are also common power banks, toilet water, air fresheners, foam cleaners, etc., which are all flammable and explosive items. If the vehicle needs to be left in the open in the summer, these items should not be left in the car to prevent danger.
In short, whether it is the failure of the vehicle or the spontaneous combustion of the vehicle, we must focus on prevention and eliminate the problems that we can think of in advance and may have potential safety hazards. If the vehicle is old, the wiring harness of the engine compartment should also be checked regularly, and there are aging wires, and even exposed copper wires must be replaced in time. The problem of aging lines is the most important cause of fires. If you smell a burnt smell while driving, you need to be vigilant, and the burnt smell has been present after driving for a certain distance, and it is likely to be sent by your own car. It is necessary to find an open place to park in time, get out of the car to check the source of the smell, see if there is a place of smoke, and deal with it in time.
