Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of thermal thin solid foundation experimental design, and in particular to a thermal thin solid discrete fire spread characteristic experimental device and method which can be adjusted at a certain angle. Background Art

[0002] According to relevant research, when flames spread between discrete solid fuels, the overall fire spread rate varies with the gap size and may even be faster than the fire spread rate of continuous fuels. This means that discrete fuels may have more fire safety hazards than continuous fuels. At the same time, inclined structures are very common in actual fire scenarios. For pool fires, flames and plumes move upward due to buoyancy. When the fuel surface is tilted toward the vertical, the flame plume will also tilt due to air entrainment and pressure differences, and may attach to the solid surface, potentially changing the flame thermal feedback to the fuel bed. Therefore, the fuel inclination will have an impact on fire behavior.

[0003] In existing experimental devices, the experimental objects are mostly matchsticks. Most of the previous experiments on matchsticks were built independently, but they do not have the functions of measuring angles and controlling gaps. Experimental devices for thermally thin solids can change multiple parameters for experiments, but they are not suitable for thermally thin solid materials. As for experiments with thermally thin solid materials as the experimental objects, most of the experimental devices are vertical or horizontal brackets. In addition, some researchers have also independently built discrete fire spread experimental platforms suitable for inclined flat-plate solids, but they are only suitable for single variable experiments. In addition, the thermal physical properties and sizes of flat-plate solid experimental materials vary greatly, so this type of experimental device is difficult to promote.

[0004] The existing devices and methods have the following limitations: The experimental device for thermally thin flat solids is single and not applicable to other thermally thin materials. It tends to change a single variable and cannot achieve the function of continuously adjusting multiple variables. Summary of the invention

By changing the inclination angle and the size of the air gap, the fire spread characteristics of thermal thin solid materials of different types, shapes and spread forms can be studied.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the inclination adjustment range between the first bracket and the horizontal plane is 0° to 90°, and a protractor is installed on the second bracket.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the third bracket includes an upper vertical frame and a lower vertical frame, the second bracket is fixed on the upper bracket, the upper vertical frame and the lower vertical frame are provided with screw holes arranged at equal vertical intervals, the upper vertical frame and the lower vertical frame are connected by a fastening knob to adjust the height of the third bracket, and matching threads are provided on the fastening knob and in the screw hole.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the data acquisition system includes a first camera, a second camera and an infrared thermal imager. The first camera is placed on the ground in front of the third bracket, the second camera is set facing the thermal thin solid sample, and the infrared thermal imager is set in front of the thermal thin solid sample.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the experimental device also includes an ignition control module, which includes a flammable block, a heating wire, a heating wire power cord and a constant current and constant voltage power supply. The resistance wire is in contact with the first hot thin solid sample through the flammable block, and the heating wire is connected to the constant current and constant voltage power supply through the heating wire power cord.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the experimental device further includes a baffle, which is arranged between the first thermal thin solid sample and the second thermal thin solid sample.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, a method for using a thermal thin solid discrete fire spread characteristics experimental device that can be adjusted at a fixed angle includes the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: Determine the ignition energy, the size and quantity of the hot thin solid, and the size of the air gap according to the needs of the designed experiment;

[0017] Step 2, fix the thermal thin solid sample on the first bracket, fix the iron buckle at the middle position of the edge of the thermal thin solid sample, place the baffle between the first thermal thin solid sample and the second thermal thin solid sample, and place the uniformly wound spiral heating wire tightly against one end of the first thermal thin solid sample;

[0018] Step 3, turn on the switches of the first camera and the second camera, turn on the constant current and constant voltage power supply, ignite the flammable block, and when the first hot thin solid sample is ignited, disconnect the constant current and constant voltage power supply and remove the baffle;

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the angle-adjustable thermal thin solid discrete fire spread characteristics experimental device of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

By changing factors such as the inclination angle, the width and spacing of the thermally thin solid material, the scientific research needs of studying the combustion behavior and fire spread characteristics of continuous thermally thin solids or discrete thermally thin solid materials under complex conditions with continuous and adjustable multi-parameters can be achieved;

[0023] (2) The method of fixing the hot thin solid material is to fix the sample fixing clamp of the first bracket by iron buckles and bolts, and the rest of the experimental sample does not need to be fixed by bolts, so as to avoid the interference of too many iron products on the surface fire spread characteristics of the hot thin solid material. At the same time, the iron buckle is detachable, which is convenient for replacing samples and improving experimental efficiency;

[0024] (3) The reserved ignition position can be placed at a certain distance from the upper edge and the lower edge of the experimental sample, which can provide a variety of fire spread situations, such as upper ignition countercurrent fire spread, lower ignition downstream fire spread, ignition source ignition spread, line fire source ignition spread, etc. The ignition of this experimental device adopts an automatic control module to ensure the need to remove the ignition source immediately after the first sample is ignited, reduce the interference of the ignition source, and increase the reliability of the experiment.

[0025] In summary, the present invention studies the combustion behavior and fire spread characteristics of single continuous or discrete hot thin solid materials under multi-variable continuous adjustable conditions under complex experimental conditions through the coupling effect of the width and spacing of discrete hot thin solid materials or the continuous hot thin solid materials and the inclination angle of the experimental samples, so that the present invention meets the combustion behavior and fire spread characteristics experimental requirements of single continuous or discrete hot thin solid materials under multi-variable continuous adjustable conditions. In addition, the present invention is flexible in operation, highly adjustable and controllable, and highly extensible, and can be widely used in other hot thin solid combustible fire spread experimental studies.

[0034] The hot thin solid sample 17 is fixedly clamped on the first bracket 1 by bolts and iron buckles 18. The stainless steel plate 16 is engraved with a scale to measure the flame length during combustion and determine the sample width and the width of the air gap.

[0035] The front end of the first bracket 1 is connected to the second bracket 2 through the first rotating shaft, the middle part of the first bracket 1 is rotatably connected to one end of a connecting member 204 through the second rotating shaft, and the second bracket 2 is provided with a plurality of holes arranged at equal intervals, and the other end of the connecting member 204 is detachably connected to a hole. By connecting the lower end of the connecting member 204 to different holes on the second bracket 2, the inclination angle of the test sample can be adjusted.

[0036] The adjustment range of the inclination angle between the first bracket 1 and the horizontal plane is 0° to 90°, and a protractor 245 is installed on the second bracket 2 to measure the inclination angle.
