[0002] A subway fire refers to a fire incident that occurs in a subway train or subway station. A subway fire not only poses a threat to the safety of passengers and staff, but may also affect the normal operation of the subway. When a subway fire occurs and the train loses power, it forms an obstacle with a large blocking ratio in the tunnel space, and together with the tunnel, it forms a special double narrow space. In subway fires, the study of the smoke flow characteristics under different conditions after the fire is of great research value.

[0034] During implementation, follow these steps: 1) When a fire experiment is required, the top fan 204, two side fans 203, and the main fan 205 are turned on through the wireless receiver 206 to simulate the wind speed of a high-speed train. Then, a remote wireless connection is made to the remote igniter 601 to ignite the fuse 602 and the oil bottle 603, causing the combustible items 605 in multiple carriages to burn. 2) After a certain period of time, the top fan 204, the two side fans 203 and the main fan 205 are remotely shut down to simulate a real fire; 3) After multiple carriages have burned, the electric traction machine 402 slowly pulls the train to a standstill, and then monitors various fire parameters through the fire prevention camera 301, temperature sensor 302, and anemometer 303; 4) After the final inspection is completed, the water pump 702 is turned on again to allow water to flow through the diversion pipe 703 to the interior of the tunnel body 1, and then spray water mist through the nozzle 704 to quickly extinguish the fire.

[0035] To sum up, the variable pressure reduced-size subway tunnel / train car double narrow space fire test platform, by setting up a fire source structure 6, when a fire experiment is needed, turns on the top fan 204, two side fans 203 and the main fan 205 through the wireless receiver 206 to simulate the wind speed when the train is running at high speed, and then remotely connects to the remote control igniter 601 wirelessly to make the fuse 602 and the oil bottle 603 ignite and burn, so that the combustible items 605 in multiple cars burn. After a certain period of time, the top fan 204, two side fans 203 and the main fan 205 are remotely turned off to simulate a real fire. The fire source structure 6 can simulate the effect of the fire source burning multiple cars continuously after the train is running at high speed, and is highly realistic.

[0036] In addition, the variable-pressure, reduced-size subway tunnel / train car dual-narrow space fire test platform is equipped with a fire extinguishing structure 7.

After the detection is completed, the water pump 702 is turned on to allow water to flow through the diversion pipe 703 to reach the inside of the tunnel body 1, and then water mist is sprayed through the nozzle 704 to quickly extinguish the fire. The fire extinguishing structure 7 can quickly spray the car after the experiment is completed, extinguishing the fire quickly and facilitating reuse.
