[0017] Preferably, the method further includes the following steps:

[0018] S11. Take out a plug, scan the QR code on the plug, and get its ID number.

[0019] S12, after the display component obtains the ID number of the plug, it uses the plug to seal the fire extinguishing nozzle; after sealing, the position of the fire extinguishing nozzle is recorded.

[0020] S13, take out the next plug, scan the QR code on the plug to obtain its ID number; after the display component obtains the ID number of the plug, use the plug to seal the next fire extinguishing nozzle; after sealing, record the position of the fire extinguishing nozzle; until all fire extinguishing nozzles are completed.

[0021] S14, connect the test bottle connector on the connecting hose to the test bottle, and connect the fire extinguishing coupling connector on the connecting hose to the fire extinguishing inlet of the fire extinguishing system.

[0022] As a preferred further technical solution, step S2 includes the following steps:

[0023] S20, close the pressure relief valve.

[0024] S21, open the isolation valve to connect its downstream gas path and upstream gas path.

[0025] S22, turn on the switch on the nitrogen cylinder to allow the nitrogen in the cylinder to flow out.

[0026] S23, turn on the main switch to allow nitrogen gas to flow into the fire extinguishing system through the connecting hose.

[0027] S24. After a certain period of time, the isolation valve is closed to isolate the downstream gas path from the upstream gas source.

[0034] Or / and step S3 includes the following steps:

[0035] S31, the controller acquires pressure data collected by M pressure sensors; i = 1, 2, 3, ..., M.

[0036] S32, determines whether there is blockage or leakage in the distribution pipeline based on the pressure data collected by the pressure sensor:

[0037] S321, introduce 4 BAR pressurized nitrogen into the distribution pipe.

[0038] S322, the method for determining whether the pipe corresponding to the i-th plug is blocked is as follows.

[0039] If F i ≤F i ′+Q, where F i F represents the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor in the i-th plug. i ′ represents the pressure value at the location of the i-th plug, and Q represents the pressure error adjustment value; then the pipe corresponding to the i-th plug is in a blocked state.

[0040] If Fi >F i ′+Q, where F i F represents the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor in the i-th plug. i ′ represents the pressure value at the location of the i-th plug, and Q represents the pressure error adjustment value; then the pipe corresponding to the i-th plug is in a clear state; the blockage detection is complete.

[0041] S323, open the pressure relief valve to release all the nitrogen in the distribution pipeline; then introduce 2 BAR pressure nitrogen into the distribution pipeline.

[0042] S324, the method for determining whether the distribution pipe is leaking after 8 to 12 minutes is as follows:

[0043] If the pressure drops by more than 0.2 BAR within 10 minutes, it indicates a leak in the pipeline. In this case, a flow test agent needs to be applied to the pipeline to determine the leak point.

[0044] As a preferred further technical solution, the method for the plug to transmit the collected pressure data to the display component in step S31 includes the following steps:

[0045] S311, whether each plug has received the test completion trigger signal.

[0046] If the plug receives a test completion trigger signal, proceed to the next step.

[0047] If the plug does not receive a test completion trigger signal, the pressure sensor continues to collect pressure data.

[0048] S312, the controller inside the plug generates an XML file from all pressure values ​​collected by the pressure sensor at various times, and calculates the XML code of the XML file. The method for calculating the XML code of the XML file is as follows:

[0049] File character code=File code operation method(xml file data)

[0050] Among them, File character code represents XML code.

[0051] The `File code operation method()` method represents the method for calculating the XML code; here, the XML code is calculated using the MD5 hash digest method, and the result is a 16-bit hexadecimal character code.

[0052] XML file data refers to an XML file.

[0053] The XML code is used as the filename of the XML file. After using the XML code as the filename of the XML file, we get an XML file with the XML code filename. The XML file with the XML code filename is compressed to get an XML file package. The ID number of the plug is used as the filename of the XML file package.

[0054] S313, Determine the number of files in an XML file package:

[0055] If the XML file package contains only one file, the XML file package with the header ID number will be sent to the display component.

[0056] If the number of files in the XML file package is greater than or equal to 2, delete the other files in the XML file package with the header ID number, leaving only the XML file with the XML code file name; send the XML file package with the header ID number to the display component;

[0057] S314, After the controller in the display component receives the pressure data sent by the plug, the received pressure data is a pressure receiving packet. The pressure receiving packet is decompressed to obtain a decompressed file. The decompression code of the decompressed file is calculated. The method for calculating the decompression code of the decompressed file is as follows:

[0058] Decompress character code=Decompress code operation method(Decompress file data)

[0059] The decompress character code indicates the decompression code.

[0060] The `Decompress code operation method()` method represents the method used to calculate the decompression code. Here, the MD5 hash digest method is used, and the result is a 16-bit hexadecimal character code.

[0061] "Decompress file data" means to extract files.

[0062] Check if the decompression code of the decompressed file matches the file name of the decompressed file.

[0063] If the decompression code of the decompressed file does not match the file name of the decompressed file, the display component will re-request the pressure data from the plug corresponding to the file name of the pressure receiving packet.

[0064] If the decompression code of the decompressed file matches the filename of the decompressed file, then the filename of the received packet is used as the ID number of the header, and the pressure values ​​at each time point are obtained from the decompressed file.

[0065] In summary, by adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can determine whether the fire extinguishing system is blocked or / and leaking based on the collected pressure data, and can also determine whether the pipeline is damaged through the pressure data.

[0130] If the number of files in the XML file package is greater than or equal to 2, delete the other files in the XML file package with the header ID number, leaving only the XML file with the XML code file name; send the XML file package with the header ID number to the display component.

[0131] S314, After the controller in the display component receives the pressure data sent by the plug, the received pressure data is a pressure receiving packet. The pressure receiving packet is decompressed to obtain a decompressed file. The decompression code of the decompressed file is calculated. The method for calculating the decompression code of the decompressed file is as follows:

[0132] Decompress character code=Decompress code operation method(Decompress file data)

[0133] The decompress character code indicates the decompression code.

[0134] The `Decompress code operation method()` method represents the method used to calculate the decompression code. Here, the MD5 hash digest method is used, and the result is a 16-bit hexadecimal character code.

[0135] "Decompress file data" means to extract files.

[0136] Check if the decompression code of the extracted file matches the filename of the extracted file:

[0137] If the decompression code of the decompressed file does not match the file name of the decompressed file, the display component will re-request the pressure data from the plug corresponding to the file name of the pressure receiving packet.

[0138] If the decompression code of the decompressed file matches the filename of the decompressed file, then the filename of the received packet is used as the ID number of the header, and the pressure values ​​at each time point are obtained from the decompressed file.

[0139] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
