AI Technical Summary
The cabinet-type equipment of the existing Beidou power communication equipment has a continuous oxygen supply through the air inlet and outlet. In the early stage of an electrical fire, the smoke is easily contained by the closed cabinet, making it difficult for external monitoring to detect in time. As a result, the fire is not discovered until it spreads to the outside, and the power supply cannot be cut off in time. This can easily cause serious damage to the equipment, increase economic losses, and even threaten the safety of the surrounding environment and personnel.
Smoke sensors are used to monitor fire conditions. A closed vacuum device is used to simultaneously seal the air inlet and outlet, and a low-pressure environment is created by combining it with an air pump. Iron oxide red powder and monitoring cameras are used to cross-verify and locate the fire source, and remote monitoring and early warning are achieved through Beidou satellite communication.
It enables accurate early fire monitoring, proactively blocks the spread of fire, improves initial fire control capabilities, ensures equipment safety, reduces damage risks, minimizes economic losses, and supports remote inspections via BeiDou satellite communication, thereby reducing the cost of manual inspections.

Since the equipment is integrated in a cabinet, and the cabinet is usually provided with an air inlet and an air outlet to ensure heat dissipation of the equipment, in the actual operation process, the cabinet interior may catch fire due to various conditions such as line aging, short circuit, equipment fault overheating and the like. The initial stage of the electric fire is mostly "smoldering" (such as line insulation layer overheating, component short circuit fire), a large amount of smoke is generated at this stage, and then obvious temperature rise occurs. However, due to the closed characteristics of the cabinet door, the smoke generated by the initial fire is limited in the cabinet interior, and the monitoring equipment of the external device cannot timely detect the fire; meanwhile, the existence of the air inlet and the air outlet also continuously provides oxygen for the internal fire, and accelerates the spread of the fire.

The two ends of the closing driving plate 23 are provided with sliding grooves 231, and the closing plate 13 is connected with the sliding grooves 231 through the driving rod 24. The air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are synchronously closed. When the smoke sensor 4 detects a fire in the cabinet, the smoke sensor 4 transmits the detected data to the controller. After receiving the data, the controller processes the data and starts the driving motor 21. The driving motor 21 drives the closing driving plate 23 to rotate forward through the shaft rod 22. At the same time, the driving rod 24 moves along the sliding grooves 231 of the closing driving plate 23 and synchronously pushes the two closing plates 13 to slide along the inlet slots of the limiting frame 20, so as to seal and cover the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12.

The reminding device is electrically connected with the controller for issuing fire warning and assisting positioning; the reminding device includes a pipeline 3, an audible and visual alarm 31 and iron oxide red powder 32, one-way valves 30 are arranged at both ends of the pipeline 3, the iron oxide red powder 32 is located in the pipeline 3 between the two one-way valves 30 (fluorescent powder can be mixed in the iron oxide red powder 32 for consideration of night monitoring and timely monitoring), the inlet of the pipeline 3 is connected with the outlet of the air extraction pump 7, the outlet of the pipeline 3 is connected with the bottom of the smoke exhaust pipe 72, and guide vanes 33 are arranged in the pipeline 3 close to the air extraction pump 7 for making the smoke passing through the guide vanes 33 fully contact and mix with the iron oxide red powder 32; the audible and visual alarm 31 is installed on the top of one side of the electric power communication equipment cabinet 1 and connected with the controller through wires, and the power supply of the audible and visual alarm 31 is independent of the external power supply of the electric power communication equipment cabinet 1, which can continuously issue audible and visual warnings after the power supply in the electric power communication equipment cabinet 1 is cut off, the iron oxide red powder 32 forms a colored smoke column after being discharged with the smoke, and the monitoring camera 5 can quickly locate the cabinet body on fire, solving the problem that the fire in the closed cabinet is difficult to identify, the audible and visual alarm 31 issues sound and light signals, giving consideration to visual and audible warnings, and being suitable for rapid response in complex outdoor environments. The monitoring device is electrically connected with the controller for identifying warning information and assisting positioning; the external protection unit of the Beidou electric power communication equipment realizes early and accurate monitoring of fire, and solves the problem of late discovery of hidden fire.
[0029] The monitoring device comprises a monitoring camera 5 installed at 1-2 m obliquely above the power communication equipment cabinet 1 through an adjustable support, adopts night vision, the angle between the lens axis and the outlet of the smoke exhaust pipe 72 is 30°-60°, to ensure covering the smoke exhaust direction, the monitoring camera 5 is signal connected with the controller, for identifying the colored smoke exhaust by the smoke exhaust pipe 72 and transmitting image data; the power supply thereof is independent of the external power supply of the power communication equipment cabinet 1, to ensure that the cabinet can still work continuously after the power supply in the cabinet is cut off; the controller positions the on-fire power communication equipment cabinet 1 through cross-verification of the camera data and the smoke sensor 4 signal and sends an instruction to the general control equipment, the controller cross- verifies the colored smoke image captured by the camera and the smoke sensor signal, avoids false alarm of a single sensor, improves the fire condition judgment accuracy, adopts independent power supply, has wide dynamic range and night vision function, and ensures stable operation in day and night and complex light environment.
[0030] After the closed vacuumizing device is synchronously activated, the air exhaust pump 7 is started, the internal air is extracted through the through hole at the top of the cabinet body, a low-pressure environment is formed in the cabinet, the oxygen concentration is reduced, and the fire spread is inhibited; the extracted smoke is transported to the smoke exhaust pipe 72 through the pipeline 3, when the smoke flows through the pipeline 3, the smoke is fully mixed with the red iron oxide powder 32 in the pipeline 3 under the action of the guide vane 33, a colored smoke column is formed and discharged from the smoke exhaust pipe 72, at the same time, the sound and light alarm 31 is started, and sound and light warning is issued. After the monitoring camera 5 (installed obliquely above the cabinet body, the lens is aimed at the outlet of the smoke exhaust pipe 72) captures the colored smoke column, image data is transmitted to the controller. The controller cross- verifies the signal of the smoke sensor 4 and the camera image, accurately positions the on-fire cabinet, the controller sends a cut-off instruction to the general control equipment through wireless transmission, the general control equipment only cuts off the power supply of the power communication equipment in the cabinet body, and the protection unit (smoke sensor, driving motor, air exhaust pump and camera) continuously works due to the independent power supply system. At the same time, the general control equipment sends a warning signal to the surrounding associated power equipment, to prevent the fire from spreading and ensure the safety of the system.
[0031] Please refer to the attached Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the protection unit also includes a photographing module 14, a picture compression processing module 15 and a short message communication module 16. The photographing module 14 is used to shoot the image of the periphery of the equipment cabinet, covering the key areas such as the surface of the cabinet, the periphery circuit and the installation foundation, to provide visual basis for remote inspection. The picture compression processing module 15 performs image compression processing using the JPEG2000 algorithm, which greatly reduces the file size and reduces the data transmission bandwidth pressure on the premise that the image definition meets the identification requirements. The short message communication module 16 is connected with the controller and serves as the core hub of data transmission. Through the Beidou satellite communication network, the compressed image data, equipment running state (such as temperature, voltage), weather data (such as humidity, wind speed) and fire alarm information are packaged and transmitted to the remote monitoring center. At the same time, relying on the high-precision positioning function of the Beidou satellite, the accurate geographic coordinates of the equipment cabinet are automatically recorded when the photographing module 14 works, and the coordinates are transmitted synchronously with the image data. The above modules are powered by a system independent of the external power supply of the power communication equipment cabinet 1. The equipment state, weather data and fire alarm information can be transmitted through the Beidou satellite to realize remote monitoring. The high-precision positioning function of the Beidou satellite communication is used to automatically record the accurate coordinate information of the shooting position when the photographing module 14 shoots the image of the periphery of the equipment cabinet, and the coordinates are transmitted to the remote monitoring center together with the image data through the short message communication module 16, which facilitates the staff to quickly locate the geographic position of the faulty equipment and improves the emergency response speed. The controller is connected with the total control device signal, which can cross-verify the smoke sensor 4 signal and the monitoring camera 5 image, locate the fire power communication equipment cabinet 1 and send the cut-off instruction to the total control device. The power supply of the controller is independent of the external power supply of the power communication equipment cabinet 1, which ensures that the instruction sending is not affected by the power state in the cabinet. When the total control device responds to the controller instruction, only the power supply of the power communication equipment installed in the power communication equipment cabinet 1 is cut off, while the power supply of the closing device 2, the smoke sensor 4, the closed vacuumizing device, the sound-light alarm 31 and the monitoring camera 5 is guaranteed by an independent system and is not affected by the power cut-off in the cabinet, which ensures the continuous operation of the protection function. After receiving the cut-off instruction, the total control device not only cuts off the power communication equipment power supply of the cabinet body, but also sends a warning signal to the surrounding associated power equipment to prompt the possible fire risk of the surrounding equipment, take preventive measures in advance to prevent the fire from spreading to the surrounding equipment, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the entire power system.
[0032] The photographing module 14 is started in real time when the preset trigger fire condition is met, and images of the key areas around the power communication equipment cabinet, the surface of the cabinet body and the surrounding lines are shot, thereby providing intuitive basis for remote inspection. After shooting, the picture compression processing module 15 uses the JPEG2000 algorithm to compress the images, reduces the file size to less than 30% of the original size under the premise of ensuring the clarity to meet the identification requirements, and reduces the data transmission pressure; the short message communication module 16 receives the compressed image data and synchronously collects the equipment operation state and the fire alarm signal. At the same time, relying on the high-precision positioning function of the Beidou satellite, the accurate geographic coordinates of the equipment cabinet are automatically recorded, and the coordinates are packaged and integrated with all the above data. Subsequently, the short message communication module 16 transmits the data packet to the remote monitoring center through the Beidou satellite communication network, thereby realizing remote monitoring in the environment without public network.
[0033] When the smoke sensor 4 detects the smoke signal in the cabinet and transmits it to the controller, the controller does not directly trigger the action, but waits for the image feedback of the monitoring camera 5. If the camera captures the colored smoke gas (mixed with red iron oxide powder) discharged from the smoke exhaust pipe 72, the controller cross- verifies the two signals, confirms the authenticity of the fire, and enters the next step of operation; if the signals are inconsistent, it is determined as a false alarm and the device self-check is started.
[0034] After the controller confirms the fire, the cut-off instruction is sent to the total control device through wireless transmission, and the position of the cabinet on fire is determined (combined with the Beidou positioning coordinates). When the total control device responds to the instruction, only the power supply of the internal power communication equipment (switch, Beidou module and device) of the power communication equipment cabinet 1 is cut off, while the key components of the protection unit (switch closing device, smoke sensor, air pump, sound and light alarm, monitoring camera, etc.) still work normally due to independent power supply, ensuring that the fire control is not interrupted. The total control device sends a warning signal to the surrounding associated power equipment (such as adjacent cabinet, line node) at the same time when cutting off the power supply of the cabinet on fire, prompting it to enter the state of alert, preventing the spread of fire or failure from the system level, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the entire power system.
[0035] Workflow: When the fire caused by line aging, short circuit, etc. in the power communication equipment cabinet 1, the smoke generated by the initial smoldering is captured by the smoke sensor 4 at the top center of the cabinet, and the sensor transmits the signal to the controller installed in the waterproof control box at the bottom of the cabinet. After receiving the signal, the controller immediately starts the linkage control and sends the closing instruction to the switch closing device 2, and activates the closing vacuum device, the reminding device and the monitoring device. The driving motor 21 of the switch closing device 2 starts, drives the inclined closing drive plate 23 at the rear side of the cabinet to rotate through the shaft rod 22, drives the rod 24 to move along the sliding groove 231, and pushes the two closing plates 13 to slide along the first inlet slot 201 of the air inlet 11 and the second inlet slot 202 of the air outlet 12 respectively, synchronously sealing and covering the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 to block the oxygen from the outside into the cabinet. The air pump 7 of the closing vacuum device starts to extract the internal air through the through hole at the top of the cabinet, so as to form a low pressure environment in the cabinet to suppress the combustion; the extracted smoke is fully mixed with the red iron oxide powder 32 in the pipeline 3 under the action of the guide vane 33, and the colored smoke column is discharged from the exhaust pipe 72. At the same time, the sound and light alarm 31 starts to issue sound and light warning. The monitoring camera 5 installed 1-2m above the cabinet captures the colored smoke column and transmits the image data to the controller. The controller cross- verifies the smoke sensor signal and the camera image, accurately locates the cabinet on fire after confirming the fire, and sends the cutting instruction containing the Beidou positioning coordinates to the total control equipment through wireless transmission. The total control equipment only cuts off the power supply of the power communication equipment in the cabinet, while the key components (switch closing device, sensor and air pump) of the protection unit continue to work due to independent power supply. At the same time, the total control equipment sends a warning to the surrounding associated power equipment, prompting it to enter the "alert state" to prevent the spread of fire. The photographing module 14 takes pictures of the surrounding of the cabinet at a preset frequency or when the fire is triggered, and after compression processing by the picture compression processing module 15, the device state, weather data, fire alarm information and Beidou high-precision coordinates are integrated by the short message communication module 16, transmitted to the remote monitoring center through Beidou satellite, and remote inspection and positioning in the public network environment are realized.
[0036] The present application is aimed at the characteristics of electrical fire smoldering prior to heating, the smoke sensor responds quickly in the early stage of fire, and the visual warning of colored smoke column solves the problem of late discovery of fire caused by the closure of the cabinet in traditional equipment, and the response time is advanced by several minutes to several tens of minutes.
[0037] Further, by synchronously closing the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12, the active measure of air pumping and oxygen reduction can effectively suppress the spread of fire from the root, which greatly reduces the damage and economic loss compared with the passive waiting mode of external fire extinguishing of the existing equipment.
[0038] Further, the cross verification mechanism of the smoke sensor 4 and the monitoring camera 5 reduces false alarms; the protection unit core components all adopt a power supply system independent of the power supply in the cabinet, ensuring that the control link is not interrupted in case of fire, solving the pain point of traditional devices "fire power off, protection failure".
[0039] Further, relying on Beidou satellite to realize image transmission and high-precision positioning in a public network-free environment, combined with a surrounding device early warning mechanism, a point-to-surface combined global protection network is formed, which is especially suitable for power equipment in remote areas, reduces the cost of manual inspection, and improves the emergency response speed.
