Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to an automatic fire extinguishing system for responding to fires in hazardous materials facilities and parking lots, and a method of operation thereof, and in particular to an automatic fire extinguishing system and a method of operation thereof for extinguishing and managing fires early and rapidly in the event of a fire in hazardous materials facilities and parking lots. Background Technology

[0002] Hazardous material-related facilities include hazardous material manufacturing plants, fixed hazardous material storage facilities, and mobile hazardous material storage facilities. Fixed hazardous material storage facilities are places for storing hazardous materials and include indoor and outdoor storage facilities. These fixed hazardous material storage facilities store hazardous materials by placing them in tanks. Mobile hazardous material storage facilities are vehicles for storing hazardous materials. These mobile hazardous material storage facilities store hazardous materials by placing them in tanks installed on the vehicles.

[0003] However, fires at facilities related to hazardous materials as described above, as well as parking facilities for parking or charging vehicles, are continuously increasing. This leads to massive casualties and property damage. In particular, fires at hazardous materials facilities can not only result in large-scale fires but also cause serious secondary damage to the surrounding environment, such as explosions, toxic gas exposure, and the influx of hazardous materials. Meanwhile, fires at vehicle parking or charging facilities can cause massive damage not only to the vehicles within the facility but also to the building itself if the facility is located in the basement.

[0004] However, existing fire prevention and management measures for hazardous materials facilities, as well as response strategies in the event of a fire, are inadequate. Although fire alarms and fire extinguishing equipment (e.g., sprinklers) are mandatory for hazardous material manufacturing plants or fixed storage facilities, there is a very high possibility of failure in initial suppression due to various factors, including hazardous elements during firefighting operations, resulting from poor maintenance of firefighting equipment and inadequate response by managers. In the event of a fire at a mobile storage facility, various problems arise, such as environmental contamination and traffic control due to hazardous material spills and the resulting fire.

[0005] Meanwhile, in the case of vehicles such as electric vehicles, fires grow rapidly within a short period due to thermal runaway, making it very difficult for the general public to suppress them early. In particular, even if conventional suffocation fire extinguishing blankets are provided, it is very difficult for the general public to completely cover a burning vehicle with the blanket to induce suffocation extinguishment due to the inherent danger and psychological factors associated with the fire. Consequently, the fire can spread from the affected vehicle to adjacent vehicles and even to buildings. The problem to be solved

[0006] The present disclosure provides an automatic fire extinguishing system for responding to fires in hazardous materials-related facilities and parking lots, and a method of operation thereof.

[0007] The present disclosure provides an automatic fire extinguishing foam system and a method of operation thereof for extinguishing and managing fires early and rapidly in the event of a fire in hazardous materials-related facilities and parking lots. means of solving the problem

[0008] In the present disclosure, an automatic fire extinguishing blanket system comprises a sensor module configured to detect a fire and a fire extinguishing blanket, and a fire extinguishing blanket module configured to deploy the fire extinguishing blanket so that the fire extinguishing blanket covers a designated area when the fire is detected by the sensor module, wherein the fire extinguishing blanket module may include a storage module that stores the fire extinguishing blanket at least one side of the area and fixes one end of the fire extinguishing blanket, and a deployment module coupled to at least one other end of the fire extinguishing blanket and configured to deploy the fire extinguishing blanket from the storage module when the fire is detected.

[0009] In the present disclosure, a method of operation of an automatic fire extinguishing cloth system comprises the steps of detecting a fire through a sensor module and deploying the fire extinguishing cloth by a fire extinguishing cloth module so that the fire extinguishing cloth covers a defined area, wherein the fire extinguishing cloth module may include a storage module that stores the fire extinguishing cloth at least one side of the area and fixes one end of the fire extinguishing cloth, and a deployment module that is coupled to at least one other end of the fire extinguishing cloth and configured to deploy the fire extinguishing cloth from the storage module when the fire is detected. Effects of the invention

[0010] According to the present disclosure, an automatic fire extinguishing system can automatically respond to fires in hazardous materials-related facilities or parking facilities. Specifically, the automatic fire extinguishing system detects a fire in a hazardous materials-related facility or parking facility through a sensor module, and upon detection of a fire, can automatically deploy a fire extinguishing cloth through a fire extinguishing cloth module. As a result, the automatic fire extinguishing system can quickly extinguish and manage a fire in an early stage when a fire occurs in a hazardous materials-related facility or parking facility.

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0012] Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present disclosure are described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] In various embodiments, the automatic fire extinguishing cloth system (the automatic fire extinguishing cloth system (100) of FIG. 1) may be installed in a hazardous materials facility, namely, one of a hazardous materials manufacturing plant, a fixed hazardous materials storage facility, or a mobile hazardous materials storage facility, or a parking facility. The automatic fire extinguishing cloth system (100) is installed in a designated area within the hazardous materials facility or parking facility, and the area may represent at least a portion of the hazardous materials facility or parking facility. The automatic fire extinguishing cloth system (100) has a fire extinguishing cloth (fire extinguishing cloth (151) of FIG. 1), and when a fire is detected, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) may be deployed so that the fire extinguishing cloth (151) covers the area. By doing so, the fire extinguishing cloth may cover at least one object within the area to induce suffocation extinguishing. Here, the object may include at least one of a tank or a vehicle containing hazardous materials. If the object is a tank, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) may block the leakage of hazardous materials.

[0014] In the following, covering a zone or at least one object within a zone indicates covering the top surface of the zone or at least one object and the perimeter surface of the object radially outward from the vertical axis extending from the top surface and passing through the center and top surface of the zone or at least one object, e.g., all sides.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the components of an automatic fire extinguishing foam system (100) according to various embodiments.

[0016] Referring to FIG. 1, the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) may include at least one of a communication module (110), an input module (120), an output module (130), a sensor module (140), a fire extinguishing module (150), a memory (160), or a processor (170). In some embodiments, at least one of the components of the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) may be omitted, and at least one other component may be added. In some embodiments, the components of the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) may be implemented integrated within a single device or distributed within at least two separate devices.

[0017] The communication module (110) establishes a communication channel between the automatic fire extinguisher system (100) and an external device, and can perform communication with the external device through the communication channel. Here, the external device may include at least one of an electronic device, a base station, a server, or a satellite. The communication module (110) may include at least one of a short-range communication module or a long-range communication module. The short-range communication module can communicate with the external device using a short-range communication method. For example, the short-range communication method may include at least one of Bluetooth, WiFi Direct, or infrared communication (IrDA; infrared data association). The long-range communication module can communicate with the external device using a long-range communication method. Here, the long-range communication module can communicate with the external device through a network. For example, the network may include at least one of a cellular network, the Internet, or a computer network such as a LAN (local area network) or a WAN (wide area network).

[0018] The input module (120) can input a signal to be used in at least one component of the automatic fire extinguisher system (100). The input module (120) may be configured to detect a signal directly input by a user or to generate a signal by detecting changes in the surroundings. For example, the input module (120) may include at least one of a mouse, a keypad, a microphone, or a sensing module having at least one sensor. In some embodiments, the input module (120) may include at least one of a touch circuitry configured to detect a touch or a sensor circuitry configured to measure the intensity of a force generated by a touch.

[0019] The output module (130) can output information to the outside of the automatic fire extinguishing system (100). The output module (130) may include at least one of a display module configured to output information visually or an audio output module capable of outputting information as an audio signal. For example, the audio output module may include at least one of a speaker or a receiver.

[0020] The sensor module (140) can detect at least one of a fire or a spill of hazardous materials. At this time, the sensor module (140) can detect at least one of a fire or a spill of hazardous materials within a designated area or in an area adjacent to a designated area. For example, the sensor module (140) includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a fire detector, a fire detection sensor, a camera, a color sensor, or an illuminance sensor.

[0021] The fire extinguishing blanket module (150) has a fire extinguishing blanket (151), and when a fire is detected by the sensor module (140), the fire extinguishing blanket (151) can be deployed so that the fire extinguishing blanket covers a designated area. In some embodiments, the fire extinguishing blanket (151) consists of a detachable part and a remainder part, wherein the detachable part may be implemented to be detachable from the remainder part, for example, via Velcro, a zipper, etc. Specifically, the fire extinguishing blanket module (150) may include a storage module (153) and a deployment module (155).

[0022] A storage module (153) can store a fire extinguisher (151) on at least one side of the area. Here, the fire extinguisher (151) can be stored in the storage module (153) in a deployable manner, for example, in a folded or rolled form. At this time, the storage module (153) can secure one end of the fire extinguisher (151). In some embodiments, the storage module (153) can secure one end of the fire extinguisher (151) so as to be detachable.

[0023] The deployment module (155) can deploy the fire extinguishing cloth (151) from the storage module (153) when a fire is detected. At this time, the deployment module (155) may be connected to at least one other end of the fire extinguishing cloth (151). In some embodiments, the deployment module (155) may be detachably connected to at least one other end of the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Thus, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can be deployed by the deployment module (155) while being fixed to the storage module (153) through one end and connected to the deployment module (155) through at least one other end. In some embodiments, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can cover an object within the area simply by being deployed.

[0024] In some embodiments, when the deployment of the fire extinguisher (151) is complete, at least one of the storage module (153) or the deployment module (155) can detach the fire extinguisher (151). By doing so, the fire extinguisher (151) can fall and cover an object within the area.

[0025] The memory (160) can store various data used by at least one component of the automatic fire extinguishing system (100). For example, the memory (160) may include at least one of volatile memory or non-volatile memory. The data may include at least one program and associated input data or output data. The program may be stored in the memory (160) as software containing at least one instruction and may include at least one of an operating system, middleware, or application.

[0026] The processor (170) can control at least one component of the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) by executing a program in memory (160). Through this, the processor (170) can perform data processing or calculations. At this time, the processor (170) can execute commands stored in memory (160). In various embodiments, when a fire is detected through the sensor module (140), the processor (170) can drive the fire extinguishing module (150) to deploy the fire extinguishing cloth (151). In some embodiments, when the deployment of the fire extinguishing cloth (151) is completed, the processor (170) can detach the fire extinguishing cloth (151) from at least one of the storage module (153) or the deployment module (155). In some embodiments, the processor (170) can transmit a message to notify of the fire through the communication module (110). For example, the processor (170) can transmit a message to the fire department or the manager of the area. In other embodiments, the processor (170) may output an alarm to indicate a fire. For example, the processor (170) may output an alarm as an audio signal or a light signal.

[0027] FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically illustrating the operation method of an automatic fire extinguishing foam system (100) according to various embodiments.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 2, in step 210, the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) can detect a fire in relation to a designated area. When a fire occurs, the sensor module (140) can detect the fire. Thus, the processor (170) can detect the fire through the sensor module (140). In some embodiments, if the area is at least part of a hazardous materials facility, the processor (170) can detect not only the fire but also the spill of hazardous materials through the sensor module (140). In other embodiments, if the area is at least part of a parking facility, the processor (170) can detect the fire through the sensor module (140). In this case, the sensor module (140) can detect at least one of the fire or the spill of hazardous materials within the designated area or in an area adjacent to the designated area.

[0029] Next, in step 220, the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) can operate the fire extinguishing module (150) of the area. A storage module (153) can store the fire extinguishing cloth (151) on at least one side of the area. Here, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can be stored in the storage module (153) in a deployable manner, for example, in a folded or rolled form. At this time, the storage module (153) can secure one end of the fire extinguishing cloth (151). In some embodiments, the storage module (153) can secure one end of the fire extinguishing cloth (151) in a detachable manner. A deployment module (155) may be coupled to at least one other end of the fire extinguishing cloth (151). In some embodiments, the deployment module (155) may be detachably coupled to at least one other end of the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Specifically, when a fire is detected through the sensor module (140), the processor (170) can drive the deployment module (155).

[0030] Thus, in step 230, the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) can deploy a fire extinguishing cloth (151) for the area. Specifically, the processor (170) can deploy the fire extinguishing cloth (151) from the storage module (153) via a deployment module (155). The fire extinguishing cloth (151) can be deployed by the deployment module (155) while being fixed to the storage module (153) through one end and coupled to the deployment module (155) through at least one other end. In some embodiments, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can cover an object within the area simply by being deployed. Thus, the inflow of oxygen into the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) is blocked, and the fire within the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can be suppressed. In one embodiment, if the object is a tank containing hazardous materials, the outflow of hazardous materials from the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can be blocked.

[0031] Optionally or additionally, at step 240, the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) may drop the fire extinguishing cloth (151). In some embodiments, when the deployment of the fire extinguishing cloth (151) is complete, the processor (170) may detach the fire extinguishing cloth (151) from at least one of the storage module (153) or the deployment module (155). Thus, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) may drop and cover an object within the area. Thus, the inflow of oxygen into the internal area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) is blocked, and the fire within the internal area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) may be extinguished. In one embodiment, if the object is a tank containing hazardous materials, the outflow of hazardous materials from the internal area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) may be blocked.

[0032] Optionally or additionally, a water intake port for a fire extinguishing water facility may be provided in the area, and the automatic fire extinguishing foam system (100) may allow fire extinguishing water to be discharged into the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing foam (151) through the water intake port. Thereby, the fire in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing foam (151) can be further suppressed through water extinguishing or cooling extinguishing by the fire extinguishing water.

[0033] FIGS. 3a to 3f are drawings for explaining an automatic fire extinguishing foam system (100) and a method of operation thereof according to a first embodiment.

[0034] Referring to FIGS. 3a through 3f, the area where the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) is installed may be at least a portion of the area containing at least one tank (T) containing hazardous materials within a hazardous materials manufacturing facility or a fixed hazardous materials storage facility. A storage module (153) stores the fire extinguishing cloth (151) and may be positioned on the first side at the top of the area. In this case, when a fire is detected, as shown in FIGS. 3a, 3b, and 3c, a deployment module (155) may gradually deploy the fire extinguishing cloth (151) from the first side at the top of the area to the opposite second side. Thus, as shown in FIG. 3c, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) may be spread out at the top of the area. Once the deployment of the fire extinguishing cloth (151) is complete, the storage module (153) and the deployment module (155) may separate the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Thus, as shown in FIG. 3d and FIG. 3e, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) gradually falls from the top of the area, and as shown in FIG. 3e, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can cover at least one tank (T). Accordingly, the fire in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) is suppressed, and the leakage of hazardous materials from the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can be prevented.

[0035] FIGS. 4a to 4c are drawings for explaining an automatic fire extinguishing foam system (100) and a method of operation thereof according to a second embodiment.

[0036] Referring to FIGS. 4a through 4c, the area where the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) is installed may be an area where a tank (T) containing hazardous materials is installed in a mobile hazardous materials storage facility. And, as shown in FIG. 4a, the storage module (153) may include a first storage module (153a) that stores a first fire extinguishing cloth (151a) and a second storage module (153b) that stores a second fire extinguishing cloth (151b) and is positioned on the opposite side of the bottom of the area. Here, the first fire extinguishing cloth (151a) may be a part of the fire extinguishing cloth (151), and the second fire extinguishing cloth (151b) may be another part of the fire extinguishing cloth (151). In one embodiment, the first side and the second side may represent a relatively long side in the area. In another embodiment, although not illustrated, the first side and the second side may represent relatively short sides in the area. In this case, when a fire is detected, as illustrated in FIG. 4b and FIG. 4c, the deployment module (155) may deploy the first fire extinguisher (151a) and the second fire extinguisher (151b) so that the first fire extinguisher (151a) and the second fire extinguisher (151b) overlap. Here, the deployment module (155) may deploy the first fire extinguisher (151a) and the second fire extinguisher (151b) simultaneously, or deploy the second fire extinguisher (151b) while deploying the first fire extinguisher (151a) or after completing the deployment of the first fire extinguisher (151). Specifically, the deployment module (155) can deploy the first fire extinguisher (151a) from the bottom to the top of the corresponding area on the first side, then deploy it from the top of the corresponding area toward the second side, and then deploy it from the top to the bottom of the corresponding area on the second side.Meanwhile, the deployment module (155) can deploy the second fire extinguisher (151b) from the second side to the top of the corresponding area, then deploy it from the top of the corresponding area toward the first side, and then deploy it from the top of the corresponding area toward the bottom from the first side. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 4c, the fire extinguisher (151), i.e., the first fire extinguisher (151a) and the second fire extinguisher (151b), can double-cover the corresponding area, i.e., at least one tank (T). In one embodiment, when the deployment of the first fire extinguisher (151a) and the second fire extinguisher (151b) is completed, the deployment module (155) or the main module (153) and the deployment module (155) can separate the first fire extinguisher (151a) and the second fire extinguisher (151b). By doing so, the fire extinguisher (151) can be in close contact with at least one tank (T). Therefore, the fire in the internal area of ​​the fire extinguisher (151) is suppressed, and the leakage of hazardous materials from the internal area of ​​the fire extinguisher (151) can be blocked.

[0037] Although not illustrated, an automatic fire extinguishing cloth system (100) and a method of operation thereof according to a third embodiment are described. The area where the automatic fire extinguishing cloth system (100) is installed may be an area where a tank (T) containing hazardous materials is installed in a mobile hazardous materials storage facility. And, a storage module (153) may be placed on the first side at the bottom of the area. In one embodiment, the first side may represent a front side facing the front of the vehicle. In another embodiment, the first side may represent a rear side facing the rear of the vehicle. In this case, when a fire is detected, the deployment module (155) may deploy the fire extinguishing cloth (151) from the bottom of the area to the top, then deploy it from the top of the area toward the opposite second side, and then deploy it from the second side from the top of the area toward the bottom of the area. Thus, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can cover the area, i.e., at least one tank (T). Therefore, the fire in the internal area of ​​the fire extinguisher (151) is suppressed, and the leakage of hazardous materials from the internal area of ​​the fire extinguisher (151) can be blocked.

[0038] FIGS. 5a to 5j are drawings for explaining an automatic fire extinguishing foam system (100) and a method of operation thereof according to a fourth embodiment.

[0039] Referring to FIGS. 5a through 5j, the area where the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) is installed may be an area where a vehicle (V) is parked in a parking facility. Also, as shown in FIG. 5a, a storage module (153) stores a fire extinguishing cloth (151) and may be positioned at the top of the first side of the area. At this time, a water intake port (O) of the fire extinguishing water facility may be positioned adjacent to the bottom of the first side and may protrude into the area. In this case, when a fire is detected, as shown in FIGS. 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, and 5f, a deployment module (155) may deploy the fire extinguishing cloth (151) from the top of the first side of the area to the bottom of the second side opposite the area. Then, when the deployment of the fire extinguisher (151) is complete, the storage module (153) can detach one end of the fire extinguisher (151). Thus, as shown in FIG. 5h, one end of the fire extinguisher (151) can fall from the top at the first side of the area, and as shown in FIG. 5i, the fire extinguisher (151) can cover the vehicle (V). Thus, the fire can be extinguished in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguisher (151). Additionally, the deployment module (155) can also detach at least one other end of the fire extinguisher (151). At this time, the fire extinguisher (151) can cover the vehicle (V) such that the water intake port (O) is exposed in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguisher (151). Next, as shown in FIG. 5i, the water intake port (O) can collect fire extinguishing water into the interior area of ​​the fire extinguisher (151). Accordingly, the fire in the inner area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) is further suppressed by the fire extinguishing water, and the outflow of fire extinguishing water from the inner area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can be blocked. Additionally, as shown in FIG. 5j, a detachable part of the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can be separated from the rest of the part.

[0040] FIGS. 6a to 6j are drawings for explaining an automatic fire extinguishing foam system (100) and a method of operation thereof according to a fifth embodiment.

[0041] Referring to FIGS. 6a through 6j, the area where the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) is installed may be an area where a vehicle (V) is parked in a parking facility. As shown in FIG. 6a, a storage module (153) stores a fire extinguishing cloth (151) and may be positioned at the top of the first side of the area. At this time, a water intake port (O) of the fire extinguishing water facility may be positioned on the floor of the area and may protrude into the area. In this case, when a fire is detected, as shown in FIGS. 6b, 6c, 6d, 6e, and 6f, a deployment module (155) may deploy the fire extinguishing cloth (151) from the top of the first side of the area to the bottom of the second side opposite the area. Then, when the deployment of the fire extinguishing cloth (151) is completed, the storage module (153) may detach one end of the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 6h, one end of the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can fall from the top at the first side of the area, so that the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can cover the vehicle (V), as illustrated in FIG. 6i. Therefore, the fire can be extinguished in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Additionally, the deployment module (155) can also detach at least one other end of the fire extinguishing cloth (151). At this time, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can cover the vehicle (V) such that the water intake port (O) is exposed in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Next, as illustrated in FIG. 6i, the water intake port (O) can collect fire extinguishing water into the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Thus, the fire in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) is further extinguished by the fire extinguishing water, and the outflow of fire extinguishing water from the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can be blocked. Additionally, as illustrated in FIG. 5J, the detachable part of the fire extinguisher (151) can be separated from the rest of the part.

[0042] FIGS. 7a to 7l are drawings for explaining an automatic fire extinguishing foam system (100) and a method of operation thereof according to a sixth embodiment.

[0043] Referring to FIGS. 7a through 7l, the area where the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) is installed may be an area where a vehicle (V) is parked in a parking facility. Also, as shown in FIG. 7a, a storage module (153) stores a fire extinguishing cloth (151) and may be positioned at the bottom of the first side of the area. At this time, a water intake port (O) of the fire extinguishing water facility may be positioned adjacent to the bottom of the first side and may protrude into the area. In this case, when a fire is detected, as shown in FIGS. 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f, 7g, 7h, and 7i, a deployment module (155) may deploy the fire extinguishing cloth (151) from the bottom of the first side of the area, through the top of the area, to the bottom of the second side opposite the area. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 7j, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can cover the vehicle (V). Here, as illustrated in FIG. 7k, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can fall and come into close contact with the vehicle (V). Thus, the fire can be extinguished in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Additionally, at least one of the storage module (153) or the deployment module (155) can detach the fire extinguishing cloth (151). At this time, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can cover the vehicle (V) such that the water intake port (O) is exposed in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Next, as illustrated in FIG. 7l, the water intake port (O) can collect fire extinguishing water into the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151).

Additionally, as illustrated in FIG. 7j, the detachable part of the fire extinguisher (151) can be separated from the rest of the part.

[0044] FIGS. 8a to 8l are drawings for explaining an automatic fire extinguishing foam system (100) and a method of operation thereof according to the seventh embodiment.

[0045] Referring to FIGS. 8a through 8l, the area where the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) is installed may be an area where a vehicle (V) is parked in a parking facility. Also, as shown in FIG. 8a, a storage module (153) stores a fire extinguishing cloth (151) and may be positioned at the bottom of the first side of the area. At this time, a water intake port (O) of the fire extinguishing water facility may be positioned on the floor of the area and may protrude into the area. In this case, when a fire is detected, as shown in FIGS. 8b, 8c, 8d, 8e, 8f, 8g, 8h, and 8i, a deployment module (155) may deploy the fire extinguishing cloth (151) from the bottom of the first side of the area, through the top of the area, to the bottom of the second side opposite the area. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 8j, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can cover the vehicle (V). Here, as illustrated in FIG. 8k, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can fall and adhere to the vehicle (V). Thus, the fire can be extinguished in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Additionally, at least one of the storage module (153) or the deployment module (155) can detach the fire extinguishing cloth (151). At this time, the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can cover the vehicle (V) such that the water intake port (O) is exposed in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Next, as illustrated in FIG. 8l, the water intake port (O) can collect fire extinguishing water into the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151). Thus, the fire in the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) is further extinguished by the fire extinguishing water, and the outflow of fire extinguishing water from the interior area of ​​the fire extinguishing cloth (151) can be blocked. Additionally, as illustrated in FIG. 7j, the detachable part of the fire extinguisher (151) can be separated from the rest of the part.

[0046] According to the present disclosure, an automatic fire extinguishing system (100) can automatically respond to a fire in a hazardous materials facility or parking facility. Specifically, the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) can detect a fire in a hazardous materials facility or parking facility through a sensor module (140), and upon detection of a fire, can automatically deploy a fire extinguishing cloth through a fire extinguishing cloth module (150). Thus, the automatic fire extinguishing system (100) can quickly extinguish and manage the fire in an early stage when a fire occurs in a hazardous materials facility or parking facility.
