[0002] In the field of forest fire management, planned burning (also known as "point burning") is a crucial preventive operation, and the core purpose is to clear the combustible materials accumulated under the forest by means of active and controlled burning, so as to build an effective fireproof isolation belt, thereby preventing and controlling the occurrence of large-scale forest fires from the source, and protecting the safety of forest ecology and surrounding personnel and property, and therefore the technology has irreplaceable necessity in the daily management of forest fire.

[0003] At present, the commonly used point burning tools in the industry are mainly divided into three categories, which are oil dripping igniters, throwing type fire starters and other devices based on fire powder propulsion or electronic ignition, wherein the oil dripping igniters are mostly held by personnel or hung by helicopters, and the operation is performed by dripping mixed fuel oil and igniting, the throwing type fire starters are mostly simple combustion bottles or chemical fire starters, and rely on personnel to throw at close range, and other ignition devices are often based on fire powder or electronic components as the core ignition mechanism.

[0004] However, the existing technical solutions have obvious and urgent defects, first of all, the safety is poor, the oil dripping igniters and the throwing type fire starters both need the operation personnel to be present or close to the fire line area, and face direct life dangers such as falling, burning, being surrounded by fire, and even if part of the devices do not need personnel to operate at close range, there are also storage and transportation risks due to structural or principle problems, secondly, the terrain adaptability is weak, the traditional tools are difficult to carry out effective operation in complex dangerous terrains such as gullies, marshes, cliffs and dense shrubs, and cannot cover all areas that need to be point burned, thirdly, the operation efficiency is low, the mode mainly operated by manual operation is slow, and it is difficult to quickly form a large area or long distance fireproof isolation belt, and cannot meet the needs of large-scale planned burning, and finally, the reliability is insufficient, and is greatly affected by environmental factors such as strong wind, light rain and dampness, the oil dripping igniters are easy to be wetted and cannot be ignited, and the electronic ignition devices are prone to failure in damp environment, resulting in unstable ignition success rate.

In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "provided with", "sleeved / connected", "connected" and the like should be understood broadly, for example, "connected" can be fixedly connected, or detachably connected, or integrally connected; can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected; can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] Example one:

[0037] Reference Figure 1The application discloses a burning ball of a long-range projection type point burner in a forest, which comprises a ball shell 1, the material of the ball shell 1 is preferably high-impact polystyrene, the material is light in texture and good in impact resistance, can ensure that the ball shell 1 is not easy to break when being launched and landing, and can participate in combustion; the ball shell 1 is made of the material by adopting an injection molding process, the diameter of the ball shell 1 is 3 cm, high-potassium permanganate powder 2 is encapsulated in the ball shell 1, and a liquid reagent mixed with the high-potassium permanganate powder 2 by injection is used in use, wherein the liquid reagent is a mixture of ethylene glycol and water, and the composition and the amount of the high-potassium permanganate powder 2 and the liquid reagent are accurately configured, and after the high-potassium permanganate powder 2 and the liquid reagent are mixed, a delay ignition time of 20 seconds to 60 seconds can be generated.

[0038] The amount of the high-potassium permanganate powder 2 filled in the ball shell 1 is 2 g to 4 g, and the high-potassium permanganate powder 2 filled is high-potassium permanganate powder 2 with a purity of greater than or equal to 99%, so that the reaction purity and stability are ensured.

[0039] Referring to Figure 3 , it is proved by experiments that when the amount of the high-potassium permanganate powder 2 is 2 g to 4 g, the liquid reagent is only pure ethylene glycol (without water) and the volume is 0.4 mL to 0.8 mL, the ignition time under different amount combinations is stable in the interval of 15 seconds to 20 seconds, and the basic experimental data prove the ignition reliability of the reaction of the high-potassium permanganate powder 2 and the ethylene glycol.

[0040] In order to realize the safe delay meeting the long-range projection requirement and avoid that personnel evacuation time is insufficient due to too fast ignition, the delay effect is further optimized by regulating and controlling the reagent composition, that is, by adding water into the system, the reaction activity of the high-potassium permanganate powder 2 and the ethylene glycol is reduced, and then the accurate regulation and control of the delay ignition time are realized.

[0041] When the amount of the high-potassium permanganate powder 2 is controlled to be 3 g, the total volume of the liquid reagent (a mixture of ethylene glycol and water) is fixed to be 0.5 mL; referring to Figure 4 by adjusting the volume ratio of the ethylene glycol to water (controlled to be between 5:1 and 5:10) in the liquid reagent, the ignition time can be gradually prolonged from the basic interval of 15 seconds to 20 seconds when the pure ethylene glycol reacts to the target delay range of 20 seconds to 60 seconds, so that the delay regulation and control meeting the long-range projection safety requirement are realized.

[0042] Meanwhile, the high-potassium permanganate powder with a purity of greater than or equal to 99% can effectively eliminate the interference of impurities and water on the reaction stability, and ensure the consistency of the delay time and the ignition effect in different environments. It is proved by the above series of experiments that the configuration of “3 g of high-potassium permanganate + 0.5 mL of a specific proportion of ethylene glycol-water mixed reagent” can reliably cover the target delay ignition requirement of 20 seconds to 60 seconds, and can adapt to the differentiated requirements for the ignition delay in different operation scenes by flexibly adjusting the proportion of the ethylene glycol to water, so as to provide sufficient safety windows for personnel evacuation, aircraft leaving and the landing of the burning ball 3 after launching.

[0043] Referring to Figure 2 The application also discloses a long-distance projection point burning system comprising the burning ball 3, a liquid bottle 4 for separately storing a liquid reagent, an injection device 5 for extracting the liquid reagent in the liquid bottle 4 and injecting the liquid reagent into the ball shell 1 of the burning ball 3 to mix with the potassium permanganate powder 2, and a launching device 6 for launching the burning ball 3 after the liquid reagent is injected into the ball shell 1; during storage and transportation, the solid burning ball 3 filled with the potassium permanganate powder 2 and the liquid bottle 4 filled with the liquid reagent are separately packaged and stored, so that the two are prevented from being in contact with each other to cause an unexpected reaction and the safety during the whole process is ensured.

[0044] The launching device 6 is divided into two types, one is a handheld launcher 6 based on compressed air, spring or electromagnetic principle, which is convenient for single soldier to carry and operate, and the other is a fixed launcher 6 which can be mounted on a mobile platform such as a helicopter, a drone, an all-terrain vehicle or a hovercraft, and can realize rapid, mobile and large-scale distribution of the burning ball 3.

[0045] Before operation, an operator needs to fill a certain amount of the burning ball 3 into a ball bin of the launching device 6 and fill a mixed liquid of ethylene glycol and water with a volume ratio of 5:1 to 5:10 into the liquid bottle 4 to complete the pre-war material preparation; then, the operator fills the burning ball 3 into a launching position of the launching device 6, injects the mixed liquid of ethylene glycol and water in the liquid bottle 4 into the burning ball 3 through the injection device 5 to mix with the potassium permanganate powder 2 and start a delay chemical reaction; within a safe time window (a delay period of 20-60 seconds), the operator aims at a target area and operates the launching device 6 to launch the activated burning ball 3; after the burning ball 3 flies and lands on the target area, the ethylene glycol and the potassium permanganate powder 2 in the burning ball 3 fully contact and react violently, the temperature rapidly rises, the ball shell 1 is finally ignited, a strong flame lasting for about 2 minutes is generated, and the ground combustible material is successfully ignited. Through the above working process, the whole-process integrated operation from reagent preparation, activation to launching is realized, and the convenience, safety and efficiency of operation are improved.

[0046] The implementation principle of the present application is: based on the redox chemical reaction of potassium permanganate powder 2 and ethylene glycol-water mixture, when the liquid reagent is mixed with potassium permanganate powder 2 by injection, the two will have a violent chemical reaction, and the heat accumulated by the slow initial reaction will cause the temperature to rise exponentially, causing the temperature to reach the ignition point of ethylene glycol and causing a violent combustion phenomenon; in addition, high temperature promotes the decomposition of potassium permanganate powder 2 to produce oxygen, which acts as a combustion aid to promote the combustion of ethylene glycol, further igniting the spherical shell 1 to achieve autonomous combustion without an external ignition source; by controlling the amount of potassium permanganate powder 2, ethylene glycol and water, especially the addition of water to reduce the reaction activity, a 20-60 second delay ignition time can be achieved, which provides a sufficient safety window for personnel evacuation, vehicle departure and combustion ball 3 landing after launch; at the same time, the purity of potassium permanganate powder 2 is ≥99%, which eliminates the interference of impurities and moisture on the reaction, significantly improving the stability and ignition success rate of the reaction.

[0047] The embodiments of the specific implementation are the preferred embodiments of the present application, not limited by the protection scope of the present application, so: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
