[0002] This invention relates to an intelligent household automatic fire extinguisher, and more particularly to an intelligent household automatic fire extinguisher device. Background Technology
[0003] With societal development, residential building fires are becoming increasingly common, often resulting in mass casualties. Preventing fires before they occur and extinguishing them efficiently and quickly in the event of a fire is a critical issue. However, in contemporary society, residents often prioritize theft prevention over fire prevention. Very few households own fire extinguishers, and their proper maintenance is a significant challenge. In the event of a fire, elderly people and children left at home often lack the skills to operate traditional fire extinguishers, let alone provide assistance in extinguishing a fire when no one is home. Therefore, addressing the urgent need to quickly extinguish fires in residential buildings and minimize casualties and property damage is a pressing problem.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to invent a small, low-cost, intelligent household automatic fire extinguishing device that can be operated 24 hours a day and has the ability to extinguish fires automatically, so as to improve the fire prevention and fire extinguishing technology of homes. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an intelligent household automatic fire extinguisher device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an intelligent household automatic fire extinguisher, characterized in that it comprises a motor, a sensor, a circuit board module, a solenoid valve, a lifting nozzle, a water supply pipe, a decorative cover plate, a terminal box, an alarm, a self-test signal circuit, a connector, a sealing ring, a wire, a bracket, and a control console. The sensor is connected to the circuit board module via a signal link; the motor is connected to the circuit board module via a signal link, wires, and power supply. One end of the lifting nozzle is connected to one end of the motor rotor. The motor rotor has a hollow through-hole design. One end of the hollow through-hole of the motor rotor is connected to the water inlet of the connector, and the other end of the hollow through-hole of the motor rotor is connected to one end of the lifting nozzle. The extinguishing medium flows sequentially from the water supply pipe into the solenoid valve, the connector, and the hollow through-hole of the motor rotor, and then into the lifting nozzle. The solenoid valve is activated by a signal command from the circuit board module. The alarm, the sensor, the circuit board module, the motor, and the power supply are all connected. The solenoid valve is connected via an electrical signal. When the sensor detects a fire, it transmits the electrical signal to the circuit board module. After confirmation, the circuit board module sends a signal to the positioning device and the alarm, which then activates the alarm on the control panel. The motor is connected to the wires and power supply via an electrical signal. The circuit board module connects the power supply to control the motor's rotation. The motor and one end of the hollow rotor have a brake structure with a braking damping function to fix the water spray direction. The self-test signal circuit is connected to the control panel via a signal for fault self-testing of the fire extinguisher. The circuit board module acts as a signal command center, receiving and transmitting various action signals and executing actions with different actuators.
[0007] Preferably, the fire extinguisher is also equipped with an APP software, and the extinguishing medium is tap water.
[0008] Preferably, the hollow portion of the motor rotor is used for the flow of the fire extinguishing medium.

[0010] Preferably, the sensor is used to detect fire signals. The fire signal sends instructions through the circuit board module to control the action of the fire extinguisher. One signal connects to the motor power supply, and the fire extinguisher scans according to the fire signal and provides feedback. The feedback signal is used to adjust the angle and working status of the fire extinguisher. The other signal connects to the fire control alarm console, which has both PC and APP data synchronization functions, enabling remote control. When the fire source is extinguished, the sensor outputs a signal through the circuit board module to close the solenoid valve, stop water flow, stop the alarm signal, reset the fire extinguisher, and end the entire fire extinguishing operation.
[0011] Preferably, a braking structure is provided between the outer edge of one end of the hollow rotor of the motor and the motor housing. The braking structure has a braking damping function, and the motor's rotation and stop positions are controlled by signal commands to ensure that the water nozzle of the fire extinguisher and the extinguishing medium can accurately aim at and lock onto the fire source to achieve the purpose of rapid fire extinguishing. The braking of the damping structure is generated by the force generated by the magnetic lock. By controlling the opening and closing of the magnetic lock, a braking effect is generated to control the movement or stop of the fire extinguisher. Its action signal is provided by the sensor and the circuit board module.
[0012] Preferably, the sensor is designed at the bottom of the fire extinguisher and has 360° detection capability. The sensor adopts a combined infrared or ultraviolet detection method. When a fire occurs in the protected area, the sensor captures the fire information immediately and transmits the captured fire information to the circuit board module.

One end of the rotor of the motor 1 is connected to the connector 11 and the bracket 14. The extinguishing medium flows through the water supply pipe 6, through the solenoid valve 4, through the connector 11, and then into one end of the hollow rotor of the motor 1, and then through the hollow rotor. The other end of the rotor flows into the lifting nozzle 5 and sprays out to extinguish the fire. The lifting nozzle 5 is controlled by another auxiliary motor to achieve vertical positioning. All electrical commands for the fire extinguisher are provided by the sensor 2 and the circuit board module 3 via signal links. When a fire occurs, the sensor 2 will output a fire signal. At this time, the circuit board module 3 receives the fire signal and begins to confirm the fire signal. If a fire is confirmed, it outputs a signal to control the motor 1 and the lifting nozzle 5 to operate and adjust their positions, controlling the solenoid valve 4 to open and spray the extinguishing medium. When the fire source is extinguished, the sensor 2 sends a feedback signal, the solenoid valve 4 closes, and the motor 1 and... The solenoid valve 4 and the lifting sprinkler head 5 stop working and reset.

Its rotation and stopping are controlled by the output signal of the circuit board module.
[0023] The sensor is used to detect fire signals. The fire signal sends instructions through the circuit board module to control the action of the fire extinguisher. One signal connects to the motor power supply, and the fire extinguisher scans according to the fire signal and sends a signal feedback. The feedback signal is used to adjust the angle and working status of the fire extinguisher. The other signal connects to the fire control alarm console, which has both PC and APP data synchronization functions, enabling remote control. When the fire source is extinguished, the sensor outputs a signal through the circuit board module to close the solenoid valve, stop water flow, stop the alarm signal, reset the fire extinguisher, and end the entire fire extinguishing operation.
[0024] A braking structure is provided between the outer edge of one end of the hollow rotor of the motor and the motor housing. The braking structure has a braking damping function. The motor's rotation and stop positions are controlled by signal commands to ensure that the water nozzle of the fire extinguisher and the extinguishing medium can accurately aim at and lock onto the fire source to achieve the purpose of rapid fire extinguishing. The braking of the damping structure is generated by the force generated by the magnetic lock. By controlling the opening and closing of the magnetic lock, a braking effect is produced to control the movement or stop of the fire extinguisher. Its action signal is provided by sensors and circuit board modules.
[0025] The sensor is designed at the bottom of the fire extinguisher and has 360° detection capability. The sensor uses a combination of infrared and ultraviolet detection methods. When a fire occurs in the protected area, the sensor captures the fire information immediately and transmits the captured fire information to the circuit board module. After the circuit board module verifies and confirms the fire, it transmits the signal to each fire extinguishing action mechanism, and the fire extinguisher starts to work. The power for the lifting nozzle to aim at the fire source is provided by another auxiliary motor for angle correction and control.
[0026] The extinguishing medium of the intelligent home automatic fire extinguisher is supplied by municipal tap water.

A manual valve is designed at the water supply pipe end for shutting off the water supply during equipment maintenance.
[0027] The fire extinguisher has two power supply modes: mains power or DC power. The fire extinguisher is also equipped with a storage battery and a power transformer. The mains power is transformed by the transformer and used as a power supply device.
[0028] The fire extinguisher is equipped with a self-test module and a fault audible and visual warning module.
