Description

Technical Field

[0002] Forest fire refers to a forest fire that loses human control, spreads and expands freely in woodlands, causing certain harm and losses to forests, forest ecosystems and humans. It is characterized by suddenness, great destructiveness, and difficulty in handling and rescuing.

[0003] Forest humus refers to the residues formed after organic matter such as dead branches and leaves, dead wood and dead grass in the forest ecosystem is decomposed by microorganisms. The transformation of smoldering humus to open flames is an important factor in the initiation and spread of forest fires.

[0004] The smoldering to open flame mechanism (StF) is an important mechanism that induces the resurgence of forest fires. However, the current scientific understanding of the characteristics of forest smoldering to open flame transition is still insufficient. The existing related experimental devices mainly focus on the one-dimensional smoldering to open flame transition research of ambient wind penetrating combustibles (the burner is closed on all sides), which cannot fully and accurately simulate the influence of wind speed above combustibles in nature, which may lead to deviations between the experimental results and the actual forest fire situation; and the existing devices generally use constant heating power to induce combustible smoldering, and generally perform horizontal tests, which cannot simulate the influence of heating power and slope angle on smoldering fires that change over time.

[0005] Furthermore, the existing testing methods mainly test the changes in temperature, mass loss, etc. of combustible solids during the transition from smoldering to open flames, while the monitoring and analysis of other important parameters during the transition from smoldering to open flames (such as the amount of pyrolysis gas generated, the physical structure changes of the carbon layer behind the smoldering zone, etc.) are not comprehensive enough.

[0006] In summary, providing an experimental device that can study the effects of the coupling of environment, terrain and heating conditions on smoldering and the transition from smoldering to open flames will help deepen the understanding of the mechanism of the transition from smoldering to open flames under natural conditions and provide a rich data basis for preventing and controlling forest fires caused by smoldering fires.

At the same time, in order to better simulate the natural wind environment of the forest, and to avoid the combustion temperature of the surface of the combustible material being taken away when the wind speed is too high, causing the smoldering to spread too fast and heat loss, thereby affecting the experimental results, the wind speed is preferably adjusted to 0-6m / s. In addition, the fan 1 can use a 15KW axial flow fan, which can provide sufficient volume flow rate to ensure the stability of the wind speed.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3It is a perspective view of the experimental cabin 3 in the embodiment of the present invention, with an air inlet 301 and an air outlet 302 respectively provided at both ends of the experimental cabin 3, and honeycomb panels 4 are fixedly installed at the air inlet 301 and the air outlet 302 for balancing and stabilizing the flow direction of wind; in addition, a fairing 5 is also provided at the air inlet 301, and the fairing 5 is respectively connected to the fan 1 and the air inlet 301 through flange connectors.

The plurality of guide plates 8 are arranged side by side from top to bottom. In actual use, the angle of the guide plates 8 needs to be adjusted in advance to determine the wind direction of this experiment.

Preferably, the main body of the combustion furnace 601 is made of aluminum silicate ceramic insulation material, with a wall thickness of 5 cm and an overall size of 75 cm×30 cm×5 cm. An angle adjustment plate 6021 is installed above the lifting platform 602, and two adjustment rods that can be extended and retracted in the vertical direction are hinged below the angle adjustment plate 6021, so that the angle adjustment plate 6021 can adjust its angle relative to the lifting platform 602 within the range of 0-45°. The combustion furnace 601 is fixedly installed on the angle adjustment plate 6021. This design can simulate the combustion state of forest combustibles under different slope conditions.

[0050] Optionally, the lifting platform 602 adopts a hydraulic lifting platform 602, which can provide smooth and continuous power to ensure the stability of the lifting platform 602 during the experiment; at the same time, four positioning rods (not shown in the figure) can be installed at the bottom of the combustion furnace 601. The positioning rods can correct the position error when the sample is lifted, so that the combustion furnace 601 can be lifted and lowered more smoothly, further ensuring the accuracy of the experiment and effectively avoiding slight shaking of the combustion furnace 601 during the experiment.

[0051] The bottom surface of the experimental chamber 3 is provided with an opening 303 for the combustion platform 6 to pass through, and its specific size is preferably 88cm×40cm, wherein the length is set to 88cm to ensure that the combustion furnace 601 can be used normally under slope conditions (increased side length).

[0053] Several heating rods are arranged inside the combustion furnace 601, and the surface of each heating rod is distributed with thermocouples. The temperature control system 7 is electrically connected to the heating rods, and can also collect real-time temperature data fed back by the thermocouples. During the experiment, the maximum value of the experimental heating temperature, the temperature rise rate and the insulation time are first pre-set through the temperature control system 7. After setting, the heating rods are inserted into the small holes on the side wall of the combustion furnace 601 one by one for standby.

[0054] Furthermore, observation windows 304 are provided on the top and front of the experimental cabin 3.

The observation window 304 on the top is fixedly connected to the experimental cabin 3. The observation windows 304 are all made of tempered defogger glass, which is convenient for visually observing the combustion phenomenon. A wind sensor 10 for detecting wind speed and wind direction is also provided on the side of the front of the experimental cabin 3 near the air inlet 301, which is convenient for real-time acquisition of wind speed and wind direction data during the experiment, and convenient for users to make adaptive adjustments.

[0055] The experimental device is also equipped with a camera system 9, which includes LED fill lights (not shown in the figure) installed at the four corners of the top surface of the experimental cabin 3, video monitoring equipment and data analysis recorder installed on the top of the experimental cabin 3. The video monitoring equipment can use an HDR high-definition digital camera, which records the experimental process through the observation window 304 on the top of the experimental cabin 3, and transmits the shooting results to the data analysis recorder in real time.

[0056] As a preferred embodiment, the multiple guide plates 8 in this example can also be connected by a rotating shaft, and a rotating rod is set to connect to the outside of the experimental cabin 3. The rotating shaft and the guide plate 8, the rotating rod and the rotating shaft are respectively engaged by gears. The user can adjust the angle of the guide plate 8 by turning the rotating rod, thereby adjusting the experimental wind direction.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] This embodiment provides an experimental method for simulating the burning state of forest combustibles, which uses Figure 1-Figure 3 The experimental setup shown in the figure has the following specific steps:

[0059] S1. Sample processing: select humus samples (dead leaves, dead branches, bark, etc.) picked up from the forest, put them into a drying oven, dry them at 90°C for 12 hours, and then crush and sieve the dried samples to obtain the combustible materials with a particle size of 1-3 cm;

[0060] S2. Loading, evenly filling the combustion furnace 601 with the material to be combusted, adjusting the horizontal position and height of the lifting platform 602, aligning the combustion furnace 601 with the opening 303 at the bottom of the experimental chamber 3, and then adjusting the angle between the combustion furnace 601 and the lifting platform 602 to the angle required for the experiment through the angle adjustment plate 6021 to simulate the slope terrain; in this embodiment, the slope terrain can be adjusted within the range of 0-45°, and the specific value can be adaptively adjusted according to the experimental requirements;

[0061] S3. Pretreatment. Before the experiment, the peak temperature of the heating rod is pre-set to 480°C, the temperature rise rate is 160°C / min, and the temperature holding time is 1h by the temperature control system 7. Then, several heating rods are inserted into the opening 6011 of the combustion furnace 601 one by one;

[0062] It should be noted that the openings 6011 on the front and rear side walls of the combustion furnace 601 are evenly distributed. When in use, the heating rod does not need to be inserted into every opening 6011, but should be adaptively adjusted according to the research object and conditions of this experiment. For example: if you want to study the combustion effect of the combustible under the condition of forward smoldering, you only need to insert the heating rods into the openings 6011 near the air inlet 301; similarly, to study the combustion effect of the combustible under the condition of reverse smoldering, you only need to insert the heating rods into the openings 6011 near the air outlet 302;

[0063] S4. Ventilation, open the wind speed control system 2, adjust the wind speed to 1m / s; adjust the deflector 8 so that the wind direction flows toward the 5 o'clock direction; then turn on the fan 1 for ventilation for a period of time, and confirm through the wind sensor 10 whether the wind speed and wind direction have reached the set value and whether the wind speed is stable;

[0064] S5. Ignition. After confirming that the wind speed and wind direction in the above step S4 have reached the preset values ​​required for the experiment, adjust the height of the lifting platform 602 so that the combustion furnace 601 can completely enter the experimental chamber 3 through the opening 303, and then turn on the temperature control system 7 to make the heating rod start heating according to the preset value, and simultaneously turn on the camera system 9, exhaust fan and flue gas analyzer to record the combustion process and flue gas emission data in real time;

[0065] S6. Ending: After the combustion of the combustible material is completed, the temperature control system 7, the wind speed control system 2, the camera system 9, the exhaust fan and the flue gas analyzer are turned off in sequence, and the observation window 304 on the front of the experimental cabin 3 is opened to deal with the embers, and then the data collected during the experiment are analyzed and processed.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] This embodiment adopts an experimental method provided in Embodiment 2 to simulate the combustion state of forest combustibles. By setting heating rods in different positions, the combustion state of forest humus under the conditions of forward smoldering and reverse smoldering is studied. The forward smoldering experiment was repeated 8 times, and the depth of the heating rod was set to 0.5cm, 2.5cm and 4.5cm from the surface, respectively. The wind speed was set to 0.3m / s, and the combustion state of the humus and the temperature of the heating rod were observed. Similarly, the reverse smoldering experiment had basically the same data as the forward smoldering experiment, with the only difference being the position of the heating rod. The experimental results are as follows. Figure 4 (Forward smoldering test result analysis diagram) and Figure 5 (Analysis diagram of reverse smoldering experiment results) shown.

[0068] pass Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be analyzed that under the same wind speed, the temperature required for forward smoldering is about 450°C, which increases with the increase of the depth of the heating rod, and the time required for the transition from smoldering to open flame is about 2800s; the temperature required for reverse smoldering is about 400°C, which also increases with the increase of the depth of the heating rod, and the time required for the transition from smoldering to open flame is about 2400s.

[0069] The above experimental results provide data support for studying the smoldering of forest combustibles and the transition from smoldering to open flames. Those skilled in the art can also study the effects of humus particle size and density, wind speed, etc. on the smoldering propagation speed by setting different parameters, which can provide certain data guidance for the prediction and prevention of forest smoldering fires.

[0070] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides an experimental device for simulating the combustion state of forest combustibles, which can simulate and study the effects of the coupling effects of different wind directions and wind speeds, terrain slopes and heating conditions on the smoldering of forest combustibles and the transition from smoldering to open flames through a wind-generating system with adjustable parameters, a combustion platform 6, a temperature control system, etc.

[0071] This experimental device is more closely related to the scene of the transformation of smoldering to open flames under forced convection conditions in actual forest fire scenes; it is conducive to deepening the understanding of the mechanism of the transformation from smoldering to open flames under natural conditions, and provides a rich data basis for the prevention and control of forest fires caused by smoldering fires;

[0072] This experimental device can also effectively solve the current status of combustion testing technology without coupling environment, terrain and heating conditions. At the same time, it can realize fire experiments of forward and reverse smoldering and smoldering to open flame by changing the position of the heating rod, filling the research gap of reverse smoldering and smoldering to open flame under different environmental and terrain conditions.

[0073] Another object of the present invention is to provide an experimental method for simulating the burning state of forest combustibles. Through the experimental device for simulating the burning state of forest combustibles provided by the present invention, the combustion process of forest combustibles under different environmental wind speeds, wind directions, terrain slope angles and heating conditions can be fully observed and recorded, thereby further providing a theoretical data basis for studying the occurrence of forest fires.

[0074] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

Sample processing: select forest humus samples, dry them at 60-90°C for 8-12h, and then crush and sieve the dried samples to obtain the combustible material with a particle size of 1-3cm; S2. Loading, filling the burner with the material to be burned, adjusting the position and height of the lifting platform so that the combustion furnace is aligned with the opening at the bottom of the experimental chamber, and then adjusting the angle between the combustion furnace and the lifting platform to a preset angle through the angle adjustment plate; S3. Pretreatment: Before the experiment, the peak temperature, temperature rise rate and temperature holding time of the heating rod are pre-set by the temperature control system, and then a number of the heating rods are inserted into the opening; S4. Ventilation, turn on the wind speed control system, adjust the wind speed to a preset value, and confirm through the wind sensor whether the wind speed and wind direction reach the preset values ​​required for the experiment; S5. Ignition, after confirming that the wind speed and wind direction in step S4 have reached the preset values ​​required for the experiment, the height of the lifting platform is adjusted so that the combustion furnace can completely enter the experimental cabin through the opening, the temperature control system is turned on to make the heating rod start heating according to the preset value, and the camera system, the exhaust fan and the flue gas analyzer are turned on simultaneously to record the combustion process and flue gas emission data in real time; S6. Ending: After the combustion of the combustible material is completed, the temperature control system, the wind speed control system, the camera system, the exhaust fan and the flue gas analyzer are turned off in sequence, and the observation window on the front of the experimental chamber is opened to deal with the embers, and then the data collected during the experiment are analyzed and processed.
