Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fire protection, in particular to an impact-resistant electric control head and a starting valve; in particular, to the design field of electromagnetic starters and electric control heads of valves in the field of fire protection. Background Art

[0002] In ship fire fighting, the gas fire extinguishing system is one of the main fire fighting systems; in the gas fire extinguishing system, the distribution valves, fire extinguishing agent cylinders and bottle head valves of nitrogen drive cylinders distributed on the fire extinguishing pipeline all require the use of an electric control head (also called an electromagnetic starter).

[0003] Generally, the electric control head is not impact-resistant. When subjected to high-intensity impacts such as collisions and explosions, the electric control head will malfunction, which will cause the gas in the cylinder to leak accidentally, and the distribution valve on the fire extinguishing pipeline to malfunction, causing the gas fire extinguishing system to leak into the protected area. The erroneous release of some gas fire extinguishing agents can cause personal damage or even casualties. Therefore, once a high-intensity impact occurs, the general electric control head will malfunction due to its inability to withstand impact, causing the gas fire extinguishing agent to leak, resulting in large economic losses and casualties. In addition, the electric control head (electromagnetic starter) generally needs to keep the power supply on during operation until the work is completed, and the power supply can be disconnected. This will make it impossible to keep the power supply on during fire fighting in special circumstances, which will cause the starter valve to fail.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an impact-resistant electric control head to prevent valve malfunctions caused by impact.

[0047] DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several changes and improvements can also be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, an impact-resistant electric control head can be used for various valves such as starting valves, including: a limiting structure, a fixed locking structure, a touch switch 12 and a pin 14; one side of the fixed locking structure is connected to the limiting structure and limited by the limiting structure, the touch switch 12 is installed on the other side of the fixed locking structure, the fixed locking structure is connected to the pin 14, the touch switch 12 is electrically connected to the limiting structure, when in the waiting state, the fixed locking structure rotates to one side and is limited by the limiting structure, the fixed locking structure is disconnected from the touch switch 12, and the pin 14 is retracted through the fixed locking structure, when in the excited state, the fixed locking structure rotates to the other side and is limited by the limiting structure, the fixed locking structure is connected to the touch switch 12, and the pin 14 is ejected through the fixed locking structure. The fixed locking structure includes: a rotating shaft 6, a support rod 7, a prying rod 8 and a rotating pin 9; the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably installed on the frame 1, the prying rod 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6 through the rotating pin 9, and one end of the support rod 7 is connected to one end of the prying rod 8. The limiting structure includes: a first spring 2, a limiting platform 3, a rotating platform 4 and a rotating electromagnet 5; one end of the rotating electromagnet 5 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the other end of the rotating electromagnet 5 is fixedly mounted on one end of a guide rod, the rotating electromagnet 5 is connected to a power supply, the rotating platform 4 is fixedly mounted on the guide rod, the rotating platform 4 rotates together with the rotating electromagnet 5, the limiting platform 3 is mounted on the frame 1, the rotating platform 4 is limited by the limiting platform 3 to prevent rotation beyond the reset position, the other end of the guide rod is mounted with a first spring 2, and the rotating platform 4 is reset by the first spring 2.

[0051] The other end of the support rod 7 is limited by the rotating platform 4, and the rotating shaft 6 is installed with a second spring 13 and reset by the second spring 13. The other end of the prying rod 8 is installed with one end of the ejector pin 14, and the other end of the ejector pin 14 is installed with a third spring 15 and reset by the third spring 15. The prying rod 8 is connected to the end of the support rod 7 to set a card slot, and the frame 1 is installed with a fixed shaft 10. When it is in the waiting state, the fixed shaft 10 is installed in the card slot. The rotating shaft 6 is installed with a toggle pin 11. When it is in the waiting state, the toggle pin 11 is disconnected from the touch switch 12. When it is in the excited state, the toggle pin 11 touches the touch switch 12. The touch switch 12 is installed on the frame 1, and the touch switch 12 is electrically connected to the rotating electromagnet 5. When the toggle pin 11 touches the touch switch 12, the rotating electromagnet 5 disconnects the power supply.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, when the anti-impact electric control head is restored from the excited state to the waiting state, the rotating shaft 6 drives the prying rod 8 to rotate through the rotating pin 9, and the prying rod 8 drives the support rod 7 to rotate upward until the slot is buckled on the fixed shaft 10, and the support rod 7 pushes the rotating platform 4 to rotate until the support rod 7 is placed on the upper side of the rotating platform 4, and the rotating platform 4 is reset by the first spring 2; when the anti-impact electric control head enters the excited state from the waiting state, the rotating electromagnet 5 drives the rotating platform 4 to rotate, the support rod 7 rotates to the lower side of the rotating platform 4, the slot falls off the fixed shaft 10, the rotating shaft 6 is reset by the second spring 13, the rotating shaft 6 drives the toggle pin 11 to touch the touch switch 12, the rotating electromagnet 5 disconnects the power supply, and the rotating platform 4 is reset by the first spring 2. During the resetting process of the rotating platform 4, the limit table 3 is used to limit the rotation to prevent it from exceeding the reset position, and the third spring 15 drives the ejector pin 14 to eject.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] Example 2 is a preferred example of Example 1.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment is composed of a frame 1, a first spring 2, a limit table 3, a rotating platform 4, a rotating electromagnet 5, a rotating shaft 6, a support rod 7, a prying rod 8, a rotating pin 9, a fixed shaft 10, a toggle pin 11, a touch switch 12, a second spring 13, a push pin 14 and a third spring 15.

[0056] The frame 1 is the shell of the electric control head, the first spring 2 is used to reset the rotating electromagnet 5, the limit table 3 is used to limit the initial position of the rotating platform 4, the rotating platform 4 is used to support the support rod 7, and the support rod 7 is released by the rotation of the rotating electromagnet 5. The rotating electromagnet 5 serves as the power source of the electric control head and receives the external control signal. The rotating shaft 6 is used to reset the electric control head and transmit the action to the touch switch 12. The support rod 7 and the fixed shaft 10 are matched to lock the initial position of the electric control head. The prying rod 8 and the support rod 7 are matched to release the lock of the support rod 7 and the fixed shaft 10; the rotating pin 9 is installed on the rotating shaft 6 to drive the support rod 7 and the prying rod 8 to reset. The toggle pin 11 and the touch switch 12 are matched. When the electric control head is in action, the power supply of the rotating electromagnet 5 is cut off by the touch switch 12. The second spring 13 is used to reset the rotating shaft 6. The ejector pin 14 is the output of the electric control head. The valve is opened by the ejector pin 14. The third spring 15 is used to pop out the ejector pin 14.

[0057] The rotating shaft 6, support rod 7 and pry rod 8 of the electric control head are fixed locking structures that can withstand impacts in any direction; only the rotating platform 4 may malfunction when subjected to impact forces in the upward and downward directions. However, by making the rotating platform 4 into a symmetrical structure along the axis of the rotating electromagnet 5 (the center of gravity and weight on both sides are equal), that is, the center of gravity of the rotating platform 4 is on the axis of the rotating electromagnet 5, it can be ensured that when impacted in the upward, downward, left and right directions, the forces on the left and right sides of the axis and on the upper and lower sides are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, thereby offsetting each other, ensuring that the rotating platform 4 does not move when impacted.

[0058] When the impact-resistant electric control head is in the excited state, when it is necessary to restore the electric control head to the waiting state, use a tool to rotate the rotating shaft 6, the rotating shaft 6 drives the rotating pin 9, the rotating pin 9 drives the prying rod 8 and the support rod 7 to rotate upward until the prying rod 8 is hung on the fixed shaft 10, the support rod 7 rotates upward to drive the rotating platform 4 to rotate, when the support rod 7 rises to the rotating platform 4, the first spring 2 resets the rotating platform 4, at this time the support rod 7 is placed above the rotating platform 4, and the impact-resistant electric control head is in the waiting state. When the rotating electromagnet 5 is energized, it drives the rotating platform 4 to rotate, at this time the support rod 7 falls from the rotating platform 4, so that the prying rod 8 falls off the fixed shaft 10, the second spring 12 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, at this time the third spring 15 brings the support rod 7, the prying rod 8, and the ejector pin 14 to eject downward, completing the action of the electric control head. At the same time, the rotating shaft 6 drives the toggle pin 11 to touch the touch switch 12 to act, cut off the power supply of the rotating electromagnet 5, the rotating platform 3 is reset, and the limit table 3 limits the reset position of the rotating platform 4.

[0060] The above describes the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which does not affect the essence of the present invention.
