Visual monitoring system for fire water supply pipe network

Abstract

In the prior art, common valves which are widely applied at present depend on manual inspection and are easy to omit and be closed at will, however, owners and industry competent departments which are closely related to the common valves cannot perceive the common valves and are difficult to supervise. Severe fire hazards can be left when a pipe network valve is closed at will, corrosion of a water-free pipeline can be accelerated, and consequently a fire water supply system high in investment is in a paralyzed state for a long time. In order to solve the problem, increase management means and improve the reliability of a fire water supply system, the invention provides a fire water supply pipe network visual monitoring system which comprises a signal valve, a field detection module, a host, a workstation, a data forwarding device and a time management device.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fire-fighting facilities, and in particular to a visual monitoring system for a fire-fighting water supply network. Background Art

[0002] Fire water supply is the heart of the water fire extinguishing system, and fire hydrants are important firefighting facilities for firefighters and people in buildings to extinguish fires. The automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing system is recognized as one of the most effective automatic fire extinguishing facilities in the world today. It is the most widely used and largest automatic fire extinguishing system. The above systems all rely on the fire water supply system, and the closure of any valve in the system pipe network may make it impossible to extinguish the fire.

[0003] In the existing technology, common valves currently widely used rely on manual inspection, which is easy to be missed and closed at will, and the owners and industry authorities closely related to it have no way of detecting and difficult to supervise. Closing the pipe network valves at will will leave major fire hazards, and the pipes without water will accelerate rust, causing the expensive fire water supply system to be paralyzed for a long time.

[0004] To address the above problems, no effective solution has been proposed yet. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the supervision difficulties caused by the backwardness of the existing technology, increase management means, and improve the reliability of the fire water supply system, the present invention provides a fire water supply network visualization monitoring system.

[0007] The signal valve is used to replace the traditional valve, and the signal valve comprises a valve body and a signal feedback device. Preferably, the signal valve realizes the signal feedback function by opening and closing the provided passive contacts.

[0008] The field detection module is used to detect the opening and closing status information of the signal valve. The field detection module can detect the opening and closing positions of the passive contacts of the signal valve and transmit the opening and closing information of the signal valve to the host. Preferably, the field detection module has a unique address identifier that can be manually set so that it can be accurately identified when connected to the host through the signal bus.

[0009] The host is used to collect the signals sent by the on-site detection module and can forward the signals to the workstation and the data forwarding device.

[0010] The workstation is used to receive the valve opening and closing status information collected by the host, and after data processing, information editing, and graphic editing, generate a monitoring screen and an alarm information interface for human-computer dialogue.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides a technical solution: a fire water supply network visualization monitoring system, including a signal valve 1, a field detection module 2, a host 3, a workstation 4, a data forwarding device 5, and a time management device. All valves on the fire water supply system pipeline use signal valves, and the signal valves realize the signal feedback function by opening and closing the passive contacts provided. After the field detection module detects the opening and closing positions of the passive contacts of the signal valve, the opening and closing information of the signal valve is transmitted to the host. The field detection module has a unique address identifier that can be manually set so that it can be accurately identified when connected to the host through the signal bus. The host collects the signal sent by the field detection module and forwards the signal to the workstation and the data forwarding device.

[0023] The workstation is installed in the fire control room or duty room to receive the valve opening and closing status information collected by the host. After data processing, information editing and graphic editing, it generates monitoring screens and alarm information interfaces for human-computer dialogue.

[0024] After receiving the signal forwarded by the host, the data forwarding device forwards the signal to the remote client again. The remote client is installed in the city monitoring center for supervision by superior units such as the competent department or company headquarters. The monitoring screen of the remote client can be customized individually or consistent with the workstation, and can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0025] The time management device is used to receive time information such as GPS or Beidou satellite, and synchronize the time information to the host, workstation, data forwarding device, etc. to ensure time uniformity and the time sequence of recorded information.

[0026] The monitoring screen includes the fire water supply system diagram and the alarm information interface. The fire water supply system diagram is drawn and generated based on the entire fire water supply system or a single building or a fire partition. Under the premise of meeting the clarity, the entire fire water supply system should be displayed on a monitoring screen as much as possible. The opening and closing status of all signal valves are intuitively displayed on a monitoring screen in the form of graphic elements, and the normally closed valves are supplemented with text labels. The different states of the valves should be highlighted. The graphics of the valves use the equipment legends specified in national standards or industry standards and are filled with eye-catching colors. The valve open state is filled with red, the valve closed state is filled with green, and gray flashes are added when there is a state change. When the communication is interrupted or there is any abnormality, it is filled with yellow. The pipelines between the valves use red lines. The valve size should be easy to identify and should not be too small. The pipeline does not have to correspond to the actual length and can be shortened for display. The alarm information interface can display the address, description name, occurrence time, status, event type, etc. of the information. The alarm information interface can display the status changes of all information. The information can be displayed by category and tabbed, and can also be retrieved and blocked by information category, time, etc.

[0027] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
