Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fire extinguisher monitoring, and in particular to an intelligent fire extinguisher monitoring box and a monitoring method. Background Art

[0002] As a fire-fighting tool with strong operability and good portability, fire extinguisher is one of the common fire prevention facilities and is deployed in various public places. Fire extinguishers are generally placed in a storage box. When the fire extinguisher is needed, the fire extinguisher in the storage box can be taken out and used. However, the fire extinguisher storage box on the market has a simple structure and is only used for the most basic storage and protection of fire extinguishers, and cannot complete the monitoring of fire extinguishers. When the fire extinguisher has too much or too little pressure, exceeds the shelf life, etc., it is difficult for people to discover it in time. When a fire occurs, the ineffective fire extinguisher cannot complete the fire-fighting task, which may cause serious property and casualties, and the consequences are disastrous. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a fire extinguisher intelligent monitoring box and monitoring method. Summary of the invention

[0007] The fire extinguisher is provided with a three-way connecting pipe, one end of which is connected to the fire extinguisher bottle of the fire extinguisher, one end of which is connected to a mechanical pressure gauge, and the other end of which is connected to a pressure monitoring device.

[0008] Furthermore, the number of partitions is set to two, and the interior of the monitoring box shell is divided into three placement spaces by the two partitions. A fire extinguisher is stored in each placement space. A monitoring device is provided above the partition, and the monitoring device is connected to the fire extinguisher in each placement space through a connecting line.

[0009] Furthermore, a transparent glass plate is provided on the door at the position of the display module.

[0013] Further, the processor compares the pressure data obtained by the pressure monitoring device with the pressure threshold, the pressure alarm lower limit is F1, the pressure threshold upper limit is F2, and the pressure threshold lower limit is F3. When the pressure data is greater than F1, the pressure situation is judged as a pressure alarm. When the pressure data is greater than F2 and less than F1, the pressure situation is judged as excessive pressure.

[0041] The number of the partitions 2 is set to two, and the interior of the monitoring box housing 1 is divided into three placement spaces by the two partitions 2. Only one fire extinguisher is stored in each placement space. A common monitoring device 3 is provided above the partition 2. The monitoring device 3 is connected to the fire extinguisher in each placement space through a connecting line 4, and the connecting lines 4 in different placement spaces are independent of each other; when the monitoring device displays data, there is an appropriate interval between the data of different fire extinguishers, so that the data information of different fire extinguishers can be clearly distinguished. The top of the monitoring box housing 1 has a top cover, and an alarm device 5 is provided on the top cover. The alarm device 5 is electrically connected to the monitoring device 3.

[0042] A transparent glass plate is provided on the door at the position of the display module 9, and the information about the fire extinguisher on the digital display screen can be observed through the transparent glass plate without opening the door.

[0052] The power module 6 may be a lithium battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery or a dry cell battery.

[0053] Among them, considering that the location where the fire extinguisher is stored is generally equipped with an evacuation sign or a safe escape sign, and the sign needs to be powered by a power supply, the power module 6 can also be replaced by the power supply of the sign, which is equivalent to using an external power supply to power the fire extinguisher intelligent monitoring box.

[0054] Among them, a first limit sleeve is provided on the side of the main channel of the connecting pipe 11 close to the mechanical pressure gauge 12, the inner wall of the first limit sleeve is provided with an internal thread, the connecting pipe 11 is threadedly connected to the mechanical pressure gauge 12, a second limit sleeve is provided on the side of the main channel of the connecting pipe 11 close to the fire extinguisher bottle body 10, the outer wall of the second limit sleeve is provided with an external thread, the connecting pipe 11 is threadedly connected to the fire extinguisher bottle body 10, and a third limit sleeve is provided on one side of the side channel of the connecting pipe 11, and the third limit sleeve is fixedly sleeved with the outer wall of the pressure monitoring device 13.

[0056] Specific implementation plan 2: Combined Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a monitoring method for a fire extinguisher intelligent monitoring box, comprising the following steps:

[0057] S1, assemble the fire extinguisher bottle 10 with the connecting pipe 11, the mechanical pressure gauge 12 and the pressure monitoring device 13, and connect the fire extinguisher intelligent monitoring box to the pressure monitoring device 13 through the connecting line 4;

[0058] S2. Enter the identification information corresponding to each fire extinguisher into the fire extinguisher monitoring system, wherein the identification information includes the production date, shelf life and serial number;

[0059] S3, turn on the manual switch of the power module 6 in the monitoring device 3;

[0060] S4, transmitting the pressure data acquired by the pressure monitoring device 13 and the position information acquired by the positioning module to the processor 8;

[0061] S5, the processor 8 compares the pressure data transmitted by the pressure sensor with the preset pressure threshold value, thereby determining the pressure condition in the fire extinguisher bottle 10. If an alarm condition occurs, the processor 8 sends a signal to the alarm device 5 for external alarm;

[0065] In step S3, the fire extinguisher intelligent monitoring box can also turn on the monitoring device through the automatic switch of the power module 6, so as to achieve the purpose of updating the fire extinguisher related information.

[0066] In step S5, when the pressure condition determined by the processor 8 is too high or too low, the warning light of the alarm device 5 lights up to warn the fire extinguisher user that the pressure in the fire extinguisher bottle 10 is no longer within the normal range. When the pressure condition determined by the processor 8 is a pressure alarm, the fire extinguisher bottle 10 is at risk of explosion. At this time, the speaker and warning light of the alarm device 5 are controlled to warn people around the fire extinguisher to prevent casualties. At the same time, the information on the abnormal pressure condition is transmitted to the fire extinguisher monitoring center through the communication module 7 so that the center can arrange professional personnel to deal with it in time.

[0067] In step S8, if the automatic switch was turned on in step S3, the automatic switch is also turned off here.

[0068] When using the fire extinguisher, you only need to unplug the connecting wire 4. After use, put the fire extinguisher in the fire extinguisher intelligent monitoring box and connect it to the fire extinguisher intelligent monitoring box through the connecting wire 4. Then, you can continue to detect the fire extinguisher. If the fire extinguisher has insufficient pressure or other problems after use, the professionals at the fire extinguisher monitoring center can repair the fire extinguisher through the monitoring data sent back, so as to achieve the purpose of accurate maintenance.
