Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fire fighting and extinguishing, and in particular to a fire fighting and extinguishing system. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, household electronic devices are becoming more and more popular. Most of these devices use lithium batteries as power sources. Lithium batteries have an important position in the field of portable devices due to their high energy density, long life and light weight. However, as the use time increases, lithium batteries will gradually age and pose potential safety hazards. Especially when these devices are improperly used or managed, they are very likely to cause fire accidents.

[0003] When an aged lithium battery device experiences thermal runaway, a large amount of heat and gas is generated inside the battery. This heat and gas quickly accumulate in a limited space, causing the battery temperature to rise sharply, which in turn triggers a chain reaction such as electrolyte decomposition and diaphragm rupture. These reactions will further increase the temperature and pressure inside the battery, and may eventually cause the battery to explode or catch fire. Once the fire spreads to the surrounding combustibles, it will quickly form a fire, posing a serious threat to family safety.

[0004] However, currently there is no regulation in place for most home electronic devices, which increases the risk of fire. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0036] In the home environment, the number of electronic devices with lithium batteries is increasing. Since most users do not have enough knowledge about the safe use of these devices, there are many improper uses, such as placing lithium battery devices near flammable materials. At the same time, some old devices may have serious aging lithium batteries due to poor maintenance or lack of regular inspections, but users often fail to discover and replace them in time, thereby increasing the risk of fire. Generally speaking, it is difficult for users to discard some old electronic devices with lithium batteries. Therefore, a considerable number of old electronic devices with lithium batteries will remain in the home environment, which undoubtedly increases the risk of home fires.

[0037] In order to avoid fires caused by old electronic devices with lithium batteries, the present invention adopts the following solution:

[0038] exist Figure 1 The structure diagram of the fire extinguishing system is shown in FIG. 1 , which includes four parts:

[0039] 1. Fire cabinet 1; 2. Server 2; 3. Client 3; 4. Fire terminal 4.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the fire cabinet 1 is arranged in a home environment, wherein the fire cabinet 1 comprises a cabinet body 11 and a cabinet door 12 hinged to the front thereof, at least one isolation chamber 14 is arranged in the cavity a111 of the fire cabinet 1, the top of the cabinet body 11 is provided with a smoke exhaust nozzle 16 communicated with the interior thereof, and the top of the isolation chamber 14 is provided with a smoke exhaust port 141 communicated with the smoke exhaust nozzle 16.

[0041] Therefore, the fire cabinet 1 has multiple installation modes:

[0042] 1. Install the fire cabinet 1 near a window or outdoors, install a smoke exhaust pipe 17 on the smoke exhaust nozzle 16, and extend the smoke exhaust pipe 17 to the external environment. After an old electronic device with a lithium battery catches fire, smoke can enter the smoke exhaust pipe 17 through the smoke exhaust port 141 of the isolation chamber 14 and be output to the external environment by the smoke exhaust pipe 17.

[0043] Second: install the fire cabinet 1 at a position close to the exhaust passage, such as a flue, install a smoke exhaust pipe 17 on the smoke exhaust nozzle 16, and connect the smoke exhaust pipe 17 with the exhaust passage. After the old electronic equipment with lithium batteries catches fire, the smoke can enter the smoke exhaust pipe 17 through the smoke exhaust port 141 of the isolation chamber 14 and be output to the exhaust passage by the smoke exhaust pipe 17.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the client 3 and the fire terminal 4 are used to receive the fire information distributed by the server 2. The user receives the fire information through the client 3, and the firefighters receive the fire information through the fire terminal 4. The client 3 and the fire terminal 4 can be any device such as a computer, a mobile phone, etc.

[0045] The server 2 can also choose whether to distribute the fire information to the fire terminal 4 according to the fire situation.

[0046] Specifically, the server 2 receives the data captured by the detector 191 (camera 1911 and temperature sensor 1912) in real time. After the controller 192 starts the fire extinguishing mechanism 18, the server 2 analyzes the captured image data and temperature data. Based on the recognition of image features and the combination of temperature data, it is determined that the fire has disappeared after the fire extinguishing mechanism 18 is started. At this time, the server 2 does not send the fire information to the fire end 4 to notify the firefighters. If after the controller 192 starts the fire extinguishing mechanism 18, the server 2 analyzes the captured image data and temperature data. Based on the recognition of image features and the combination of temperature data, it is determined that the fire has not disappeared after the fire extinguishing mechanism 18 is started, and it is predicted that there is a trend of weakening. At this time, the server 2 does not send the fire information to the fire end 4 to notify the firefighters. After the controller 192 starts the fire extinguishing mechanism 18, the server 2 analyzes the captured image data and temperature data. Based on the recognition of image features and the combination of temperature data, it is determined that the fire has not disappeared after the fire extinguishing mechanism 18 is started, and it is predicted that there is a trend of increasing. At this time, the server 2 sends the fire information to the fire end 4 to notify the firefighters.

[0047] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a detector 191 is provided on the top wall of the isolation chamber 14 , and the detector 191 includes a camera 1911 and a temperature sensor 1912 .

[0048] in,

[0049] Camera 1911 is used to collect image data inside the isolation chamber 14.

[0050] The temperature sensor 1912 is used to collect temperature data inside the isolation chamber 14.

[0051] A controller 192 and a data transceiver 192 in communication with the fire cabinet 1 are also provided. The controller 192 and the data transceiver 192 are arranged in the cavity b112 of the fire cabinet 1. The controller 192 is suitable for obtaining the image data inside the isolation chamber 14 collected by the camera 1911 and the temperature data inside the isolation chamber 14 collected by the temperature sensor 1912, and is also used to upload the collected image temperature data to the server 2. The image data collected by the camera 1911 and the temperature data collected by the temperature sensor 1912 are transmitted to the controller 192. When the temperature exceeds the set temperature threshold, the controller 192 triggers the fire response operation, which triggers the following operations:

[0052] 1. Generate fire information, including: an image of the interior of the isolation chamber 14 , the temperature of the interior of the isolation chamber 14 , and the position of the isolation chamber 14 .

[0053] 2. Start the fire extinguishing mechanism and control the fire extinguishing mechanism 18 to start and control the fire inside the isolation chamber 14.

[0054] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown in FIG. 6 , the fire extinguishing mechanism 18 includes an extruder 181 and a fire extinguishing agent bag 183 arranged inside the extruder 181 , wherein a spray pipe 182 is provided on both sides of the inner top wall of the isolation chamber 14 , and the fire extinguishing agent bag 183 is connected to the spray pipe 182 through a spring tube 1816 .

[0055] The fire extinguishing agent bag 183 is filled with a water-based fire extinguishing agent or water. The fire extinguishing agent bag 183 is squeezed by the squeezer 181, and the fire extinguishing agent inside is transported to the sprinkler pipe 182 through the spring tube 1816 and sprayed into the burning isolation chamber 14 to achieve the effect of extinguishing the fire.

[0056] It should be noted that when more than one isolation chamber 14 is used, it is also necessary to set a solenoid valve on the spray pipe 182, and connect the solenoid valve to the controller 192 for communication. When the controller 192 controls the extruder 181 to squeeze the fire extinguishing agent bag 183, the solenoid valve on the spray pipe 182 in the corresponding isolation chamber 14 is opened synchronously, so that the fire extinguishing agent can be correctly sprayed into the isolation chamber 14 where the fire has caught fire.

[0057] Specifically, the extruder 181 includes a clamp a1811 and a clamp b1812, a screw rod 1813 is provided between the clamp a1811 and the clamp b1812, the screw rod 1813 passes through the clamp a1811 and is threadedly connected with the clamp b1812, a driving motor 1814 is provided on the clamp a1811, and the output shaft of the driving motor 1814 is axially connected with the screw rod 1813.

[0058] In the above structure, the splint a1811 is in a fixed state, the splint b1812 is in a movable state, and the splint b1812 can run along the axial direction of the screw rod 1813.

[0059] After a fire occurs in the isolation chamber 14, the temperature captured by the temperature sensor 1912 exceeds the set temperature threshold, and the controller 192 recognizes the occurrence of fire. At this time, the controller 192 controls the drive motor 1814 to operate, and the drive motor 1814 drives the screw 1813 to rotate, driving the clamp b1812 to move toward the clamp a1811, squeezing the fire extinguishing agent bag 183. The fire extinguishing agent in the fire extinguishing agent bag 183 is squeezed and transported to the sprinkler pipe 182 through the spring tube 1816, and is sprayed into the burning isolation chamber 14 through the sprinkler pipe 182 to suppress or eliminate the fire in the isolation chamber 14.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, the fire extinguishing mechanism 18 is arranged in the cavity b112 of the fire cabinet 1, and the bottom of the fire cabinet 1 is detachably provided with a bottom cover plate 13 for closing or opening the cavity b112.

[0061] Specifically, a connecting nozzle 1815 is provided on the splint b1812, and the output end of the fire extinguishing agent bag 183 is detachably connected to the connecting nozzle 1815, and the connecting nozzle 1815 is connected to the spring tube 1816.

[0062] The purpose of the above arrangement is that after the fire extinguishing agent is used up, the cover plate is removed, the fire extinguishing agent bag 183 is taken out, and a new fire extinguishing agent bag 183 can be replaced.

[0063] The specific process includes:

[0064] The controller 192 controls the driving motor 1814 to run, and the driving motor 1814 drives the screw rod 1813 to rotate, driving the clamping plate b1812 away from the clamping plate a1811. After opening the bottom cover plate 13, the fire extinguishing agent bag 183 is removed and replaced.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the fire cabinet 1 is provided with a plurality of legs 20, which are made of heat-insulating materials to prevent heat from being transferred from the legs 20 to the ground and causing damage to the ground. The heat-insulating materials include high-temperature nylon, fluoroplastics, etc.

[0066] It should be noted that the inner wall of the cabinet body 11 and the inner side of the cabinet door 12 are provided with flame retardant and heat-insulating materials, such as mineral wool, rock wool board, silicate foam, perlite, etc., wherein the isolation chamber 14, the cabinet body 11, the cabinet door 12, the smoke exhaust nozzle 16 and the smoke exhaust pipe 17 are all made of metal materials, such as steel, iron, aluminum alloy, etc.

[0067] The advantage of the above arrangement is that, after an old electronic device with a lithium battery catches fire, the fire can be prevented from spreading, and the fire can be confined to the internal area of ​​the fire cabinet 1 to avoid affecting other devices.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, a flame retardant heat insulation board 15 is provided between two adjacent isolation chambers 14 .

[0069] When more than one isolation chamber 14 is provided, a flame retardant heat insulation board 15 is required to be provided between two isolation chambers 14. The material of the flame retardant heat insulation board 15 includes mineral wool, rock wool board, silicate foam, perlite, etc. The advantage of this is that after a fire occurs in old electronic devices with lithium batteries in one or more isolation chambers 14, the fire can be prevented from affecting other normal old electronic devices with lithium batteries in the isolation chambers 14, thereby preventing the fire from spreading.

[0070] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the cabinet door 12 is used to close the fire cabinet 1 to the isolation chamber 14. After the cabinet door 12 is closed, the cabinet door 12 closes the cavity a111, and at the same time, the cabinet door 12 and the isolation chamber 14 close the opening toward the front direction of the cabinet door 12, so as to achieve isolation of the isolation chamber 14. When there are multiple isolation chambers 14, after the cabinet door 12 is closed, the cabinet door 12 simultaneously closes the openings of all the isolation chambers 14 toward the front direction of the cabinet door 12, and at this time, multiple independent isolation chambers 14 are formed to avoid affecting the electronic equipment in other isolation chambers 14 after a fire occurs in the isolation chamber 14, and to avoid the fire extinguishing agent from damaging the electronic equipment in other isolation chambers 14 during the fire extinguishing process.

[0071] According to the present invention, after an electronic device catches fire, a separately arranged isolation chamber 14 can be used to isolate the electronic device from other items, thereby reducing the losses caused by the fire. At the same time, the electronic equipment in the separately arranged isolation chamber 14 can be monitored, and when a fire occurs, the fire extinguishing mechanism 18 can be activated to extinguish the fire, thereby suppressing and eliminating the fire. On the other hand, when the detection mechanism 19 detects the occurrence of a fire, the fire information can be sent to the client terminal 3 and the fire-fighting terminal 4, so that relevant personnel can be notified as soon as possible after the fire occurs.

[0072] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the drive motor 1814, camera 1911, temperature sensor 1912, controller 192, data transceiver 192, server 2, client 3, and fire terminal 4 need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in the field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0073] The power supply and principles of the drive motor 1814, camera 1911, temperature sensor 1912, controller 192, data transceiver 192, server 2, client 3, and fire terminal 4 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0074] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
