[0034] The identification and response process includes AI image recognition of smoke, triggering alarm and power off, AI identification of locked area, infrared scanning positioning, water cannon position adjustment, AI judgment of water drop point, temperature monitoring after water spraying, and continuous water spraying until the temperature drops; the specific contents are as follows:

[0035] 1. AI image recognition of smoke: Using deep learning algorithms, the AI ​​camera performs real-time image analysis of the environment inside the charging station and uses the smoke recognition function detect_smoke(image) to determine whether there is smoke.

[0036] detect_smoke(image): A deep learning-based image processing algorithm that analyzes image data captured by an AI camera and identifies smoke features. The algorithm trains a model to identify the shape, color, and movement of smoke to determine if there is a fire risk.

[0037] 2. Trigger alarm and cut off power: Once detect_smoke(image) returns a positive result, the system triggers an alarm and executes the power-off instruction function cut_power(charging_station_id) through the charging gateway.

[0038] cut_power(charging_station_id): Control algorithm used to cut off the power supply to a specific charging station through the charging gateway when a fire risk is detected.

[0042] 4. Infrared scanning and positioning: The infrared camera uses flame detection detect_flame(infrared_data) to scan and locate the core point of the flame in the locked area, and collects temperature data in real time.

[0043] detect_flame(infrared_data): Using data captured by an infrared camera, this algorithm identifies flames by analyzing thermal imaging data. The algorithm is able to identify the specific thermal spectrum of the flame and thus accurately locate the core of the flame.

[0044] 5. Water cannon position adjustment: The fire controller runs the water cannon positioning algorithm adjust_water_cannon(position_data) to adjust the position of the water cannon outlet according to the position information of the flame core point.
