[0032] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a fire extinguisher moisture-proof system capable of monitoring humidity pressure, including:
[0035] The core component 100 is the main part of the fire extinguisher, with the fire extinguishing tank 101 containing perfluoroacetone as the extinguishing agent. The spray nozzle 102 is fixedly installed on one side of the fire extinguishing tank 101 and extends through the tank, used to spray the perfluoroacetone extinguishing agent. A shock-absorbing unit 103 is fixedly fitted at the bottom of the fire extinguishing tank 101. The main body of the shock-absorbing unit 103 is a circular rubber base fitted onto the fire extinguishing tank 101. The soft rubber material provides good cushioning and shock absorption, and also provides significant friction to secure the shock-absorbing unit 103.
[0036] The humidity and pressure data inside the fire extinguishing tank 101 are sensed and monitored by the monitoring unit 104 installed inside the tank and transmitted to the display unit 105 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fire extinguishing tank 101. When the user observes that the humidity or pressure exceeds the safe value range, it indicates that the fire extinguisher has a low safety factor and may threaten the personal safety of the user. The perfluorohexanone fire extinguisher must be stopped immediately.
[0037] The storage mechanism 200 is used to store and fix the fire extinguishing canister 101. The fire extinguishing canister 101 can be inserted downward into the storage assembly 201. The inner wall of the storage assembly 201 is rotatably provided with a matching sleeve 202. The inner wall of the matching sleeve 202 is fixedly provided with an inclined groove that matches the outer wall of the shock-absorbing unit 103. During the period when the fire extinguishing canister 101 drives the shock-absorbing unit 103 to descend together and finally moves to the bottom of the matching sleeve 202, the matching sleeve 202 can be continuously driven to rotate along the storage assembly 201.
[0038] A locking port 203 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 202. The locking port 203 will rotate along with the continuous rotation of the sleeve 202 until the sleeve 202 rotates to its final position. A small power supply is provided inside the sleeve 202, and a conductive electrode that is electrically connected to the small power supply is fixedly provided inside the locking port 203. An actuating rod 302 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the storage assembly 201. One end of the actuating rod 302 extends into the inner wall of the storage assembly 201, and the other end is located on the outer wall of the storage assembly 201 for easy operation. The actuating rod 302 and the storage assembly 201 are elastically connected. The actuating rod 302 is in a compressed and ready-to-release state by default. The other end of the actuating rod 302 is a conductive end and is in contact with the outer wall of the sleeve 202. When the sleeve 202 continues to move to its final position, the locking port 203 corresponds exactly to the conductive end of the other end of the starting rod 302. The starting rod 302 is inserted into the locking port 203. At this time, the sleeve 202 itself cannot rotate, and the fire extinguishing canister 101 cannot be pulled out, thus ensuring the effective fixed storage of the fire extinguishing canister 101.
[0039] A drying port 301 is fixedly installed on the top of the storage assembly 201 and on one side of the fire extinguishing tank 101. The drying port 301 includes a slender dehumidification end. When the fire extinguishing tank 101 is inserted into the storage assembly 201, the spray nozzle 102 corresponds to the drying port 301.
[0040] Since the spray nozzles 102 are all connected to hose-type spray pipes, the spray pipes can be inserted into the drying port 301. When the conductive end of the start rod 302 begins to contact the conductive electrode in the locking port 203, the start rod 302 is equivalent to receiving a power supply and begins to transmit a signal to the drying port 301, causing the drying port 301 to start running.
[0041] The drying port 301 is equipped with a battery and can be remotely activated via the start lever 302. The drying port 301 is set to provide mild heating within a suitable and mild temperature range. Even if it is kept open for a long time, it will not affect the lifespan of the spray nozzle hose. Opening the drying port 301 can effectively remove residual droplets and moisture from the spray nozzle 102, preventing moisture and water vapor from entering the fire extinguishing tank 101 and causing subsequent safety hazards.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] Reference Figures 1-6 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and differs from the previous embodiment in that:
[0044] A starting rod 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the control wrench 204. A conductive ball 302a is fixedly provided at one end of the starting rod 302. The conductive ball 302a rolls and fits against the outer wall of the mating sleeve 202. When the mating sleeve 202 rotates, the friction between the starting rod 302 and the mating sleeve 202 is relatively small due to the presence of the conductive ball 302a.
[0045] The starting lever 302 is rotatably fitted with a locking plate 302b. An adjusting handle 204b is rotatably connected to the control wrench 204. The other end of the adjusting handle 204b extends into the starting lever 302 and is fixedly connected to the locking plate 302b. The rotation of the locking plate 302b can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting handle 204b. A limiting groove 201b is fixedly formed on the inner wall of the storage assembly 201. The locking plate 302b can follow the movement of the starting lever 302 and extend along the limiting groove 201b. At this time, the entire locking plate 302b can only move along the limiting groove 201b.
[0046] When it is necessary to unlock the fixed fire extinguishing tank 101, simply pull the control wrench 204 to bring out the starting lever 302 together. In the default state, the locking plate 302b is located in the limiting groove 201b. However, the spring rod 204a itself can still be pulled outward a certain distance. At this time, turn the adjusting handle 204b to drive the locking plate 302b to rotate. Since the vertical height of the limiting groove 201b itself is limited, the locking plate 302b will not be able to pass through the limiting groove 201b after rotation. At this time, it can also rotate freely with the sleeve 202. The entire fire extinguishing tank 101 is in a state where it can be pulled out at any time.
[0047] After the fire extinguisher body 101 is pulled out, the sleeve 202 also returns to its initial position. Simply rotate the adjusting handle 204b to align the locking plate 302b with the limiting groove 201b again. At this time, the control wrench 204 can drive the starting rod 302 to extend into the limiting groove 201b a certain distance through the spring rod 204a, so that the conductive ball 302a at one end of the starting rod 302 fits against the outer wall of the sleeve 202.
[0048] When the start lever 302 enters the locking port 203, it comes into contact with the conductive electrode 203a and receives power from the power supply 202c, initiating the start-up process. The signal is transmitted to the drying port 301, causing it to start operating. The drying port 301 is designed for mild heating within a suitable and mild temperature range. Even prolonged operation will not affect the lifespan of the spray nozzle 102. The opening of the drying port 301 effectively removes residual droplets and moisture from the spray nozzle 102, preventing water and moisture from entering the fire extinguishing tank 101 and causing subsequent safety hazards.
[0049] Example 3
[0050] Reference Figures 1-9 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and differs from the previous embodiment in that:
[0051] A sleeve interface 103a is fixedly opened at the center of the shock-absorbing unit 103. The sleeve interface 103a is fitted into the outer wall of the fire extinguisher tank 101. The shock-absorbing unit 103 itself is made of rubber, so the shock-absorbing unit 103 can generate a large friction force with the outer wall of the fire extinguisher tank 101 and is not easy to fall off. The shock-absorbing unit 103 has drive grooves 103b on both sides, and a drive component 103b is rolled in each drive groove 103b.
[0052] A rotating hole 201a is fixedly formed on the surface of the housing assembly 201. A limiting track 201a-1 is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the rotating hole 201a. A limiting protrusion 202a is fixedly formed on the outer wall of the sleeve 202. Through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 202a and the limiting track 201a-1, the sleeve 202 can rotate stably within the inner wall of the rotating hole 201a. Two rotating inclined grooves 202b are fixedly formed on the inner wall of the sleeve 202. The size of each rotating inclined groove 202b corresponds to that of the driving component 103b. The driving component 103b can contact and cooperate with the rotating inclined grooves 202b. When the driving component 103b descends with the shock-absorbing unit 103 and the fire extinguishing tank 101, it can rotate the sleeve 202 through the rotating inclined grooves 202b. A power supply 202c is fixedly installed inside the sleeve 202. The power supply 202c is electrically connected to the conductive electrode 203a, which is fixedly installed inside the locking port 203.
[0053] A control wrench 204 is provided on one side of the storage assembly 201. The control wrench 204 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the starter lever 302. The starter lever 302 can be operated more conveniently and effectively through the control wrench 204. A spring rod 204a is fixedly provided on one side of the control wrench 204. The other end of the spring rod 204a is fixedly connected to the storage assembly 201. The spring rod 204a is a tension spring. In the default state, the tension spring is in the extended state because the starter lever 302 has not yet entered the locking slot 203.
[0054] A movable block 205 is provided on one side of the control wrench 204. An extension rod 205a is fixedly provided at one end of the movable block 205. The extension rod 205a passes through the outer wall of the storage assembly 201 and is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 205a-1 at the other end. A prompting groove 206 is fixedly opened on the inner wall of the storage assembly 201. The prompting groove 206 is located on the other side of the pressure plate 205a-1. When the starting rod 302 begins to enter the locking port 203, the control wrench 204 also moves towards the outer wall of the storage assembly 201 under the action of the spring rod 204a. At this time, it can push the movable block 205 to move into the storage assembly 201.
[0055] A reset groove 206a is fixedly provided at the bottom of the prompt groove 206. An elastic reset rod 206a-1 is fixedly installed in the reset groove 206a. The elastic reset rod 206a-1 is horizontally installed in the reset groove 206a, and the other end of the elastic reset rod 206a-1 is fixedly connected to the prompt groove 206. A mating block 206b is fixedly connected to the other end of the elastic reset rod 206a-1. The mating block 206b is in contact with the pressure plate 205a-1. When the pressure plate 205a-1 moves under the action of the movable block 205, it can contact the mating block 206b and push the mating block 206b horizontally through the inclined surface of the mating block 206b. A motion indicator block 207 is fixedly installed on the other side of the mating block 206b. The motion indicator block 207 slides horizontally along the indicator groove 206. Different colors or indicator patterns can be fixedly painted on the indicator groove 206. When the motion indicator block 207 finally moves to the end of the indicator groove 206, the color indicates that the mating sleeve 202 has also moved to its maximum position. The starting rod 302 begins to enter the locking port 203, and at this time, the drying port 301 is in the activated state. Conversely, if the color is incorrect, it means that it has not moved to the appropriate position.
[0056] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
