Description

[0002] The existing fire extinguishing device is generally a gas fire extinguishing system and a water fire extinguishing system, and its defects are that most of the fire extinguishing systems on the market currently use artificial control, which may cause the fire pump body to be unable to start or difficult to start in the face of fire, and may also cause the fire pump body to crack, crack, and the packing to leak water seriously, resulting in the inability to effectively deal with the fire in the face of fire. The fire hose may be a non-ship inspection approved product, and the local damage and joint leakage greatly increase the maintenance cost.

[0003] The gas fire extinguishing system extinguishes fire by releasing gas (such as carbon dioxide, heptafluoropropane, etc.), and the equipment, installation and maintenance cost of the gas fire extinguishing system is generally high, especially for large or complex systems. Some gas fire extinguishing powder (such as carbon dioxide) may have adverse effects on the human body when released, such as suffocation and poisoning, so the fire extinguishing system needs to be started after the personnel are evacuated, and there is a possibility of leakage to harm personnel. Some gas fire extinguishing systems have strict requirements on the environmental conditions for storage and release, such as temperature, pressure, etc., which limits their application range. And the gas fire extinguishing system (such as an electronic control system) relies on power supply to start and operate, so it may not work normally in the case of power interruption.

The stability and durability of most systems may not have been fully verified, resulting in possible failure or failure in some extreme conditions. And the operation of the ejectable fire extinguishing system is relatively complex, and the user needs to have certain professional knowledge and operation skills, and the fire extinguishing bullet is released to achieve fire extinguishing through manual or electronic control, which is complex in control and low in intelligent degree, and also increases the training cost and time of the operator, and also increases the risk in the operation process. If the operator does not correctly master the use method or operates improperly, it may lead to poor fire extinguishing effect or even cause safety accidents. And the fire extinguishing material leaks during storage, transportation or use, which may cause potential harm to the environment and human health. If the system is not properly installed or maintained, its protection ability may decrease or even fail, therefore, the above problems need to be solved. SUMMARY
