Problems solved by technology

It is also known that accidental contact or vibration with the solenoid can disengage the solenoid from the booster actuator, causing the booster actuator to release its power again at an inopportune time, i.e. when there is no risk of fire. energy and actuate the valve
Some prior art power-assisted actuators use magnetized components to hold the actuator in the ready or "on" position, and many such actuators require an input force proportional to the desired output force, which makes this System adds cost and complexity

Abstract

The invention relates to a solenoid interlock for a booster actuator. An apparatus and method provides a solenoid interlock coupled to a booster actuator. The booster actuator and the solenoid interlock operate with a low energy input and a high energy output using mechanically stored energy.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This patent application claims U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 496,788, filed June 14, 2011, entitled "Solenoid Interlock for Booster Actuator" priority of this patent application, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to solenoids, and more particularly to solenoid interlocks for power assist actuators. Background technique [0004] In common fire suppression systems, the fire suppression agent is usually contained in a cartridge under high pressure and is controlled by a valve coupled to the fire suppression system. The valves typically require a power assisted actuator coupled to the valve so that the valve can be operated with a suitable force and at a suitable speed to open the valve and release a high pressure fire suppressant such as carbon dioxide or halogen or the like. Power assisted actuators are generally conf...
