For this purpose, the battery compartment of the present invention comprises a battery rack, a cooling component and a supporting part, wherein the cooling component is provided with a cooling cavity capable of accommodating a battery; the top of the cooling cavity is provided with an opening allowing the battery to pass; and the supporting part is located above the cooling cavity and configured to be able to bear and release the battery, so that the battery can quickly fall into the cooling cavity. By means of such an arrangement, after it is detected that a battery on the battery rack is risky, the risky battery can be first conveyed to the supporting part and then monitored continuously. After an anomaly occurs in the risky battery, the supporting part releases the risky battery, so that the battery can quickly fall into the cooling cavity below. Thus, the abnormal battery can be treated in a timely manner, thereby reducing a safety risk.

Abstract

Provided in the present invention are an end-to-end data transmission method, and a device and a medium. The method comprises: generating a seed key and signature information of the seed key; splicing the signature information, the seed key and current timestamp information to obtain first spliced information; on the basis of a mobile terminal identity code, which is provided by a user, encrypting the first spliced information to obtain an encrypted seed key; and generating an identification code corresponding to the encrypted seed key, so that after scanning the identification code, a mobile terminal processes the encrypted seed key by using the mobile terminal identity code, so as to obtain the seed key. In this way, a third party can be precluded from snooping on a seed key, thereby increasing the difficulty of cracking the seed key, and thus improving the security of the seed key.
