The application discloses an automatic fire extinguishing
system and method for a cable trench of an underground
pipe gallery, and belongs to the technical field of cable trench fire extinguishing. The automatic fire extinguishing
system comprises a temperature detection line which is laid in the cable trench of the underground
pipe gallery and is used for sensing temperature and serving as a trigger heat source; a heat-sensitive line which has a burning point temperature lower than a critical temperature of a fire
ignition point of a cable and is arranged in a heat
radiation range of the temperature detection line and is used for transmitting a
flame to form a first trigger
signal after being ignited by the temperature detection line; and an automatic fire extinguishing module which is hung and laid on a side wall of the cable trench of the underground
pipe gallery and comprises a shell, a fire extinguishing agent, a gas injection pipeline, and a gas injection hole which is arranged on the gas injection pipeline; the fire extinguishing agent is provided with a contact point which is connected with the heat-sensitive line; and a chain starting mechanism is arranged between the automatic fire extinguishing modules and is used for triggering adjacent automatic fire extinguishing modules to start. The application prevents fire in the narrow space of the underground pipe gallery, performs fire extinguishing isolation in advance, and prevents the occurrence of a cable trench fire.
