Moreover, the temperature-sensing mechanism can form a stable structure after assembly, which is convenient for assembly. At the same time, the bending directions of the various support legs and technical support edges of the support frame are different, resulting in many processing steps and low material utilization. Further improvements are still necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a large-diameter dual-start intelligent fire sprinkler head, comprising a body 1, a plug 3, a passive trigger starting mechanism, an active trigger starting mechanism, and a separation spring 10. The body 1 includes a water inlet channel 101 and a frame 102. The passive trigger starting mechanism is a temperature sensing mechanism 5, comprising a pressure plate 504 and a hollow support sleeve 502. The support sleeve 502 has a perforated window 5021 on its peripheral wall. A ball seat 501 is mounted on the upper end of the support sleeve 502. The upper end of the ball seat 501 is connected to... The plug 3 abuts against the outlet of the water inlet channel 101. The lower end of the support sleeve 502 is movably hinged to the pressure plate 504 via a pin 4. The axis of the pin 5 is perpendicular to the axis of the support sleeve 502 and has a distance L1. A glass ball 503 is abutting between the pressure plate 504 and the ball seat 501. At least a portion of the glass ball 503 is located inside the support sleeve 502 and is visible at the window 5021. The lower end of the glass ball 503 is offset from the axis of the support sleeve 502 and is located on the opposite side of the pin 5.

[0005] Furthermore, the lower end of the support sleeve 502 is provided with a first fork 5022, and the upright plate 5045 formed by the inward folding of both sides of the pressure plate 504 is provided with a second fork 5044. The first fork 5022 and the second fork 5044 are oppositely and movably engaged with the pin 4, and the upright plate 5045 is located on the inner side of the inner wall of the support sleeve 502.

[0006] Furthermore, the pressure plate 504 has a warped portion 5043 at one end and a receiving cavity 5042 at the other end. The bottom of the pressure plate 504 has a conical recess 5041. The center line of the recess 5041 is collinear with the axis of the support sleeve 502. Let C be the intersection point of the axis of the receiving cavity 5042 and the bottom surface of the pressure plate 504. Let L2 be the distance from the intersection point C to the axis of the support sleeve 502. Then 0.2≤L1:L2≤0.25.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower end face of the ball seat 501 is provided with a receiving hole 5011 that is adapted to the receiving cavity 5042. The two ends of the glass ball 503 are respectively connected to the receiving hole 5011 and the receiving cavity 5042. The upper end of the ball seat 501 is provided with a flange 5013 and a cylindrical section 5012. The lower end face of the flange 5013 abuts against the upper end of the support sleeve 502. The cylindrical section 5012 and the flange 5013 are connected by a tapered surface. The cylindrical section 5012 extends into the countersunk hole 301 at the lower end of the plug 3 and the tapered surface contacts and fits with the edge of the countersunk hole 301.

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Please refer to... Figure 1-5A large-diameter dual-start intelligent fire sprinkler head includes a body 1, a plug 3, a passive trigger starting mechanism, an active trigger starting mechanism, and a separation spring 10. The body 1 includes a water inlet channel 101 and a frame 102. The passive trigger starting mechanism is a temperature sensing mechanism 5, including a pressure plate 504 and a hollow support sleeve 502. The support sleeve 502 has a perforated window 5021 on its peripheral wall. The cylindrical support sleeve 502 with the window serves as the main support component, which has the advantages of good rigidity and stability. At the same time, it is easy to process and saves raw materials. The window prevents the glass ball from being blocked, thus maintaining the temperature sensing sensitivity. A ball seat 501 is installed at the upper end of the support sleeve 502. The upper end of the ball seat 501 abuts against the plug 3 to block the outlet of the water inlet channel 101. The lower end of the support sleeve 502 is movably hinged to the pressure plate 504 by a pin 4. The axis of the pin 5 is perpendicular to the axis of the support sleeve 502 and has a certain degree of flexibility. A glass ball 503 is abutting between the pressure plate 504 and the ball seat 501 at a distance L1. At least a portion of the glass ball 503 is located inside the support sleeve 502 and is visible at the window 5021. The lower end of the glass ball 503 is offset from the axis of the support sleeve 502 and is located on the opposite side of the pin 5. In a preferred embodiment, one end of the pressure plate 504 is provided with a warped portion 5043, and the other end is provided with a receiving cavity 5042. A conical recess 5041 is provided at the bottom of the pressure plate 504. The center line of the recess 5041 is collinear with the axis of the support sleeve 502. Let C be the intersection point of the axis of the receiving cavity 5042 and the bottom surface of the pressure plate 504. Let L2 be the distance from the intersection point C to the axis of the support sleeve 502. Then 0.2≤L1:L2≤0.25. A conical screw 6 is screwed into the bottom of the frame 102. The conical screw 6 abuts against the recess 5041. A sealing gasket 2 is provided between the plug 3 and the outlet of the water inlet channel 101.

[0017] In this way, the temperature sensing mechanism 5 can be stably fixed in the frame 102, and the outlet of the water inlet channel 101 can be sealed. By reasonably setting the ratio of L1 to L2, when the conical screw 6 tightens the pressure plate 504, the main component of its force acts directly on the support sleeve 502, and the other component makes the pressure plate 504 press the glass ball 503 against the ball seat 501, thereby making the pressure plate 504 in a stable state, that is, the temperature sensing mechanism 5 in a stable state, and reducing the pressure on the glass ball 503, ensuring that the nozzle remains stable in the duty state. At the same time, when the glass ball 503 breaks due to temperature sensing or is broken by the active triggering mechanism, the extinguishing agent pushes the support sleeve 502 through the plug 3 and the pre-tightening force of the conical screw 6, causing the pressure plate 504 to flip quickly, the support sleeve 502 to move downward, and the plug 3 to disengage instantly under the action of the separation spring 10, and the nozzle starts the fire extinguishing action.

[0018] In a further preferred embodiment, the lower end of the support sleeve 502 has a first fork 5022, and the upright plate 5045 formed by the inward folding of both sides of the pressure plate 504 has a second fork 5044 coaxially formed. The first fork 5022 and the second fork 5044 are movably engaged with the pin 4, and the upright plate 5045 is located on the inner side of the inner wall of the support sleeve 502. The lower end face of the ball seat 501 has a receiving hole 5011 that matches the receiving cavity 5042, and the two ends of the glass ball 503 are respectively connected to the receiving hole 5011 and the receiving cavity 5042. The cavity 5042 is connected, and the upper end of the ball seat 501 is provided with a flange 5013 and a cylindrical section 5012. The lower end face of the flange 5013 abuts against the upper end of the support sleeve 502. The cylindrical section 5012 and the flange 5013 have a tapered surface connection. The cylindrical section 5012 extends into the countersunk hole 301 at the lower end of the plug 3, and the tapered surface contacts and fits with the edge of the countersunk hole 301. With the above settings, during assembly, the water inlet channel 101 end of the body 1 is placed downward on the workbench, because the water inlet channel The 101 port face is a circular plane, which facilitates the stable placement of the main body 1. Then, the sealing gasket 2 and the plug 3 are installed into the outlet of the water channel 101 in sequence. The cylindrical section 5012 of the ball seat 501 is inserted into the countersunk hole 301 at the lower end of the plug 3 so that the conical surface contacts and fits with the edge of the countersunk hole 301. Then, the upper end of the support sleeve 502 is put onto the ball seat 501, and the tip of the glass ball 503 is inserted into the receiving hole 5011. Since the first fork 5022 and the second fork 5044 are both open... The fork-shaped opening allows the pin 5 to be directly inserted into the first fork 5022. Then, the second fork 5044 of the pressure plate 504 is fastened to the lower end of the support sleeve 502 with the pin 5 facing it, and the spherical end of the glass ball 503 is placed at the edge of the receiving cavity 5042. Then, the tapered screw 6 is screwed into the bottom of the frame 102, so that the tapered screw 6 abuts against the recess 5041 and is tightened to the set torque, thus completing the assembly of the temperature sensing mechanism 5 and sealing the outlet of the water inlet channel 101. The installation is convenient and quick.

[0019] In a further preferred embodiment, the active triggering mechanism includes a bracket 7 connected to the frame 102. The bracket 7 is used to install a guide sleeve 8. An impact block 9 is installed inside the guide sleeve 8, with the front end of the impact block 9 facing the glass bulb 503. An electric initiator 11 is installed at the end of the guide sleeve 8 away from the impact block 9. The electric initiator 11 is electrically connected to the fire alarm detection and control system. Here, the electric initiator 11 adopts an electric detonating tube or a gas-generating agent structure activated by the electric initiator. By electrically connecting the electric initiator 11 to the fire alarm detection and control system, when a fire occurs, the fire alarm detection and control system can remotely activate the system to break the glass bulb 503, thereby activating the sprinkler head to extinguish the fire. This has the advantages of high safety redundancy and high level of intelligence, and has significant advantages in fire fighting in large spaces such as warehouses, tunnels, and atriums. As described above, after completing the assembly of the temperature sensing mechanism 5 and sealing the outlet of the water inlet channel 101, the bracket 7 can be connected to the frame 102 with fasteners, and the guide sleeve 8, impact block 9, and electric initiator 11 can be installed to complete the overall assembly of the sprinkler head. The assembly is convenient and the production efficiency is high.
