Fire extinguishing robot system

Abstract

A firefighting robot system includes a first temperature monitoring device, a main control module, and a firefighting robot. The first temperature monitoring device monitors the temperature of the monitored area to obtain temperature data. The main control module obtains the coordinates of the area to be extinguished. The firefighting robot is equipped with an image acquisition device, a second temperature monitoring device, a fire extinguishing material carrying container, pipelines, a spraying mechanism, and a robot control module. The pipelines connect the fire extinguishing material carrying container to the spraying mechanism. The spraying mechanism adjusts the nozzle position and spraying angle. The robot control module controls the firefighting robot to move to the vicinity of the area to be extinguished based on the coordinates. The image acquisition device and the second temperature monitoring device detect the area to be extinguished near the area to be extinguished. The robot control module controls the firefighting robot to move to a preset initial fire extinguishing position to extinguish the fire.

Claims

1. A fire-fighting robot system, comprising: At least one first temperature monitoring device is installed in a monitored area and is adapted to monitor the temperature of at least one object in the monitored area to obtain temperature data. A main control module, coupled to the at least one first temperature monitoring device and adapted to obtain a coordinate of a fire-fighting area within the monitored site based on the temperature data; and at least one fire-fighting robot, equipped with at least one image capturing device, a second temperature monitoring device, a fire extinguishing material carrying container, a pipeline, a spraying mechanism, and a robot control module, wherein the pipeline connects the fire extinguishing material carrying container and the spraying mechanism, the spraying mechanism has a nozzle and is adapted to adjust the nozzle's height, vertical spray angle, and horizontal spray angle, the robot control module is adapted to control the at least one fire-fighting robot to move to the vicinity of the fire-fighting area based on the coordinate, the at least one image capturing device and the second temperature monitoring device are adapted to detect the fire-fighting area in the vicinity of the fire-fighting area, and the robot control module controls the fire-fighting robot to move to a preset initial fire-fighting position to perform fire-fighting actions on the fire-fighting area based on the detected fire-fighting area in the vicinity, wherein the preset initial position is set to maintain a predetermined distance between the fire-fighting robot and the fire-fighting area. The robot control module is adapted to select one of multiple spraying schemes based on the distance between the at least one fire-fighting robot and the area to be extinguished and the distribution range of the area to be extinguished. Each of these spraying schemes has at least one of different spraying time points, spraying heights, vertical spraying angles, and horizontal spraying angles.

2. The fire extinguishing robot system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the robot control module is adapted to continuously receive information from the main control module and the second temperature monitoring device during the spraying of fire extinguishing material from the nozzle, so as to adjust the position of the at least one fire extinguishing robot and switch the spraying schemes in real time.

3. The fire-fighting robot system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one fire-fighting robot comprises a plurality of fire-fighting robots, and the main control module is adapted to control the fire-fighting robots to move to different positions to surround the area to be extinguished based on the distribution range of the area to be extinguished and the coordinates.

4. The fire extinguishing robot system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one first temperature monitoring device includes a plurality of first temperature monitoring devices, the first temperature monitoring devices being adapted to monitor different blocks of the monitored site respectively, the integrated blocks completely covering the entire monitored site, and the first temperature monitoring devices respectively transmitting multiple thermal images corresponding to the blocks to the main control module.

5. The fire-fighting robot system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the main control module includes a correction unit adapted to convert the pixel positions of each of the thermal images into the coordinates.

6. The fire extinguishing robot system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fire extinguishing material carrying container is adapted to contain liquid or powdered fire extinguishing material.
