Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of forest fire prevention technology, specifically to a stand-alone forest fire monitoring and emergency response system. Background Technology

[0002] Forest fires are characterized by their suddenness, rapid spread, and difficulty in being extinguished. Timely detection of fires and ensuring the supply of water during firefighting are crucial to curbing the spread of forest fires and reducing disaster losses.

[0003] The existing forest fire risk monitoring and response mechanism has significant shortcomings: It employs a multi-level information transmission model—"satellite remote sensing—hotspot analysis by provincial fire prevention offices—notification to prefecture-level cities—notification to county-level cities—notification to township-level fire prevention departments"—resulting in long information turnaround times and hindering early and rapid response to fires, thus impeding the suppression of fires in their initial stages. Furthermore, forest areas are mostly remote mountainous regions with complex terrain, requiring personnel and firefighting supplies to traverse mountains and rivers. Water sources for firefighting primarily rely on natural sources such as mountain gullies and springs, which are scarce and scattered, insufficient to meet the water needs during fire suppression. Laying long-distance water supply lines would be complex, costly, and unsuitable for the complex terrain of mountainous areas. In addition, existing fire emergency facilities largely rely on external power and water supply systems, which are difficult to deploy in remote mountainous areas, inconvenient to maintain, and difficult to locate at night, further impacting the efficiency of forest fire suppression.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a forest fire emergency device that does not rely on external power or water supply, can quickly monitor fire conditions, and provide nearby fire-fighting water sources to solve the aforementioned problems of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stand-alone forest fire monitoring and emergency response system, the specific technical solution of which is as follows: An independent forest fire monitoring and emergency system includes a water storage module, a rainwater collection and filtration module, a monitoring and alarm module, and a support module. The modules work together to achieve independent forest fire monitoring and emergency water supply functions.

[0006] Specifically, the water storage module includes a stainless steel cylindrical rainwater collection tank, which is 2 meters high and 2 meters in diameter, with an internal volume of not less than 6 cubic meters, for storing filtered rainwater. The rainwater collection tank is equipped with an inlet, an outlet, a vent, a water level gauge, and a float. The inlet is connected to the rainwater collection and filtration module, the outlet is used to output fire-fighting water, the water level gauge is used to visually display the water level inside the tank, and the float is associated with the water level to assist in indicating the water level status.

[0007] Specifically, the rainwater harvesting and filtration module includes a stainless steel inverted triangular rainwater collector with a diameter of 3 meters. Its bottom has four layers of filtration structure, from top to bottom: a regular nylon mesh, a river sand filter layer, a geotextile filter layer, and a metal filter. The regular nylon mesh is used to block large falling objects such as leaves. The river sand filter layer, geotextile filter layer, and metal filter sequentially perform multi-stage filtration of the rainwater to remove impurities. The lowest point of the inverted triangular rainwater collector is connected to the inlet of the water storage module, and the filtered rainwater flows along the lowest point of the collector into a rainwater collection tank for storage.

[0008] Specifically, the monitoring and alarm module includes a solar power generation component, an energy storage battery, a thermal monitoring camera, a mobile phone signal connection module, and a night-time LED flashing light. The solar power generation component includes two solar panels, which are fixedly installed by a support module to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The energy storage battery stores the electrical energy generated by the solar panels to power the thermal monitoring camera, the mobile phone signal connection module, and the night-time LED flashing light. The thermal monitoring camera monitors hotspot information and images around the monitoring point. It establishes a communication connection with the forest ranger's mobile APP through the mobile phone signal connection module to realize the thermal alarm function and transmit the hotspot information and images to the nearest forest fire prevention department or forest ranger terminal in real time. The night-time LED flashing light automatically turns on at night to facilitate quick location of the device in the event of a nighttime fire.

[0009] Specifically, the support module includes four support frames, which are used to support and fix the top mounting frame of the pyramid-shaped structure. The solar panel, thermal monitoring camera, mobile phone signal connection module and night LED flashing light are all installed on the top mounting frame. The rainwater collection and filtration module is fixedly installed above the water storage module by a bracket to ensure that the collected rainwater can flow smoothly into the water storage module.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention collects natural rainwater using an inverted triangular rainwater collector. After being filtered through four layers of multiple stages, the water is stored in a large-capacity storage tank, capable of holding over 6 cubic meters of rainwater. In the event of a forest fire, this provides a valuable water source nearby for firefighting efforts, eliminating the need for long-distance water supply lines or scattered natural water sources, effectively solving the problem of difficult access to water for firefighting. Utilizing a solar-powered thermal imaging monitoring system combined with mobile network signal transmission, it can transmit hotspot information and images around the monitoring point to relevant personnel in the shortest possible time, significantly shortening information turnaround time, enabling early fire detection and rapid response, and helping to extinguish fires in their initial stages.

[0011] The system is powered by solar energy, eliminating the need for external power lines. Rainwater collection and storage do not rely on external water supply systems. The overall structure is independent and complete, making maintenance easy and suitable for deployment in complex environments such as remote mountainous areas. The LED flashing lights can be automatically turned on at night, quickly guiding personnel to the device's location in nighttime fire scenarios and improving emergency response efficiency.

[0014] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] Please see Figure 1 This invention provides an independent forest fire monitoring and emergency system, which mainly consists of a water storage module, a rainwater collection and filtration module, a monitoring and alarm module, and a support module. The modules work together to achieve independent fire monitoring and emergency water supply.

[0017] Specifically, the core of the water storage module is a cylindrical rainwater collection tank 16, which is 2 meters high and 2 meters in diameter, with an internal volume of over 6 cubic meters, sufficient to meet the water needs for initial firefighting of small-scale forest fires. The inlet 13 on the cylindrical rainwater collection tank 16 precisely connects to the outlet of the rainwater collection and filtration module, ensuring smooth flow of filtered rainwater. The outlet 19 is located at the bottom of the tank for quick water intake during firefighting. A vent 14 balances the air pressure inside and outside the tank, preventing abnormal pressure due to water inflow or outflow. A water level gauge 17 is installed along the tank wall for direct observation of the water level, and a float 18 floats on the water surface, working in conjunction with the water level gauge 17 to further improve the accuracy of water level indication.

[0018] Specifically, the rainwater harvesting and filtration module uses an inverted triangular rainwater collector 8 with a diameter of 3 meters to maximize the rainwater collection area. The bottom of the collector has a four-layer filtration structure: the first layer, a regular nylon mesh 7, directly intercepts large falling objects such as leaves and branches, preventing clogging of subsequent filtration layers; the second layer, a river sand filter layer 10, uses the gaps between river sand particles to filter small particulate impurities in the rainwater; the third layer, a geotextile filter layer 11, further filters fine suspended matter, improving rainwater cleanliness; and the fourth layer, a metal filter mesh 12, performs final filtration, ensuring that the rainwater flowing into the storage tank is free of significant impurities, preventing clogging of the outlet 19. The inverted triangular structure allows rainwater to naturally converge to the lowest point under gravity, flowing into the rainwater collection tank 16 through the inlet 13 for storage.

[0019] Specifically, the monitoring and alarm module adopts a solar power supply mode. Two solar panels 5 are fixed to the pyramid-shaped top mounting bracket via bracket 6, which can efficiently absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy. The electrical energy is stored in the energy storage battery 3, providing stable power support for the entire monitoring and alarm module and ensuring that the system can continue to work without external power supply. The thermal monitoring camera 2 is installed on the remote rotating monitoring camera bracket 4, which can realize 360° rotation monitoring and accurately capture hotspot information and real-time images around the monitoring point. The mobile phone signal connection module is compatible with the mobile network, and transmits the hotspot data and images captured by the thermal monitoring camera 2 to the forest ranger's mobile APP or the forest fire prevention department's terminal in real time, realizing the thermal alarm function and significantly shortening the fire information transmission time. The night LED flashing light 1 has a built-in light sensor. When the ambient light is lower than the set threshold, it will automatically turn on and emit a clear flashing signal, which will help rescuers quickly locate the device in the event of a fire at night.

[0020] Specifically, the support module consists of four high-strength support frames to secure the pyramid-shaped mounting bracket at the top, ensuring the stable installation of equipment such as the solar panel 5 and the thermal monitoring camera 2, and resisting severe weather conditions such as strong winds in mountainous areas. The rainwater collection and filtration module is fixed above the water storage module by a special bracket, ensuring the sealing and stability of the connection between the two and preventing rainwater leakage.

[0021] In practical use, this system can be strategically deployed in remote mountainous areas and high-risk fire zones, depending on forest distribution. During rainy weather, rainwater is collected by the inverted triangular rainwater collector 8, passes through a four-layer filtration structure to remove impurities, and then flows into the rainwater collection tank 16 for storage. On sunny days, the solar panel 5 continuously generates electricity and charges the energy storage battery 3, while the thermal monitoring camera 2 monitors the surrounding environment in real time. Once a hotspot is detected, it immediately sends alarm information and image data to relevant personnel via a mobile phone signal connection module, facilitating rapid verification and response by staff. In the event of a forest fire, rescuers can quickly locate the device based on its position and obtain the stored rainwater through the outlet 19 for firefighting, achieving the effect of "accessible water and rapid fire suppression." At night, the LED flashing light 1 can be used to quickly locate the device, improving emergency rescue efficiency.

[0022] In summary, this system has a simple structure, flexible deployment, does not rely on external power and water supply systems, and is easy to maintain. It can effectively solve the problems of delayed monitoring and response to forest fires in remote mountainous areas and insufficient water sources for firefighting, providing strong support for forest fire prevention and control.

[0023] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0024] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
