The self-protection system comprises: the battery module control unit 300, a plurality of detection units 400 respectively disposed at the bottom of each battery module 200 and inside the battery case 100, and a plurality of short-circuiting devices 500 respectively disposed at the outside of each battery module 200; wherein the battery module control unit 300 is connected with each of the sensing units 400 and each of the short circuit devices 500, respectively; and the battery module control unit 300 determines the corresponding damaged battery module 200 among the battery modules 200 according to the detection result of the detection unit 400 and generates a damaged signal, and transmits the damaged signal to the corresponding short-circuiting device 500; the corresponding short circuit device 500 is electrically connected with the battery modules 200 at the adjacent ends of the corresponding damaged battery module 200 according to the received damage signal, so as to short-circuit the corresponding damaged battery module 200.
The battery case 100 may be a square case or a cylindrical case, and this embodiment is not particularly limited. If a plurality of battery modules 200 disposed inside the battery case 100 and connected in series are referred to as a group of battery modules, the power battery may include a plurality of groups of battery modules. The sensing unit 400 may be provided at the upper part and the side of the battery module 200 in addition to the bottom of each battery module 200, and may be provided as required by those skilled in the art.

In addition, the battery module control unit 300 transmits the damaged signal to the corresponding short-circuiting device 500 of the damaged battery module 200, and the corresponding short-circuiting device 500 is electrically connected with the battery modules 200 at the two adjacent ends of the damaged battery module 200, so that the damaged battery module 200 which is extruded and punctured can be automatically short-circuited, but the paths of other battery modules 200 are maintained, so that the power battery pack can still output power in a short time, and thus, the thermal runaway of the damaged battery module 200 caused by continuous power supply can be avoided, and the severe accidents such as vehicle collision and the like caused by sudden power interruption can be avoided.
In one embodiment, each detection unit 400 includes a resistance wire 410 and a resistance element (not shown); the resistance wire 410 of each sensing unit 400 is laid at the bottom of a corresponding one of the battery modules 200, and one end of the resistance wire 410 of each sensing unit 400 is connected with the battery module control unit 300 through a corresponding resistance element, and the other end is also connected with the battery module control unit 300.
