Description

A drone-based airborne pump-type foam fire extinguishing device Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fire extinguishing device, and more particularly to an airborne pump-type foam fire extinguishing device based on a drone, belonging to the technical field of fire extinguishing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of drone technology in firefighting, airborne fire extinguishing devices have become core equipment for firefighting in high-altitude and remote areas. Currently, most mainstream drone-borne foam fire extinguishing devices on the market adopt a pressurized structure, relying on the storage pressure of the extinguishing agent itself to achieve spraying. In actual combat, there are many technical shortcomings: First, the internal pressure of the pressurized device is affected by the change in the volume of the remaining extinguishing agent, resulting in a continuous decrease in internal pressure, which leads to large fluctuations in spray distance and output flow. It is difficult to accurately cover the fire point when fighting fires in high-rise buildings, and the fire extinguishing stability is insufficient. Second, the extinguishing agent is sprayed directly without undergoing efficient foaming treatment. The 50L specification of extinguishing agent can only achieve undiluted spraying, which limits the fire extinguishing coverage area and reduces combat effectiveness. Third, most existing devices adopt a fixed installation structure, which is complicated and time-consuming to install and dismantle, which is not conducive to rapid on-site replacement, emergency power replenishment, and multi-drone collaborative operation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an airborne pump-type foam fire extinguishing device based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to solve the problems mentioned in the background art: first, the pressure of the storage device continuously decreases, resulting in large fluctuations in the spray distance and flow rate for high-rise fire extinguishing, and insufficient accuracy and stability; second, the 50L specification fire extinguishing agent is not efficiently foamed, resulting in limited coverage and low efficiency of the undiluted spray; and third, the existing devices are fixedly installed, and disassembly and assembly are cumbersome and time-consuming, which is not conducive to rapid replacement, emergency power replenishment, and multi-machine coordination.

[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 refer to Figures 1-6. This invention provides an airborne pump-type foam fire extinguishing device based on a drone, including a drone body 1. A pump supply mechanism 2 is fixedly installed in the middle of the drone body 1. A support 3 is installed below the drone body 1. A gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4 is placed at the top of the support 3. A spray gun 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4. Two support blocks 6 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the surface of the support 3. A pressure plate 7 is rotatably installed inside the support blocks 6. Two boxes 8 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the top of the support 3. A limiting rod 9 that limits the pressure plate 7 is slidably installed inside the box 8. A support component 11 is installed inside the box 8. A locking seat 1 that engages with the gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4 is fixedly installed on both sides of the support 3. 0; By adopting air foam mixing and enhancement technology, 50L of extinguishing agent can be foamed to generate 300L of foam liquid, significantly improving the fire extinguishing coverage and single-flight combat capability; The constant pressure liquid supply mode of the pump group ensures stable spray distance and flow rate throughout the process, making it suitable for high-rise precision fire extinguishing operations; The pump group liquid supply mechanism 2 is fixed in the middle of the main body 1 of the UAV, and the bracket 3 carries the gas-liquid mixing foam component 4. By using the cooperation of the support block 6, the clamping plate 7, the limiting rod 9 and the card seat 10, the gas-liquid mixing foam component 4 can be quickly positioned and fastened. No special tools are required for disassembly and assembly, and a single person can complete the assembly and disassembly, which greatly shortens the time spent on fire scene replacement, while ensuring that the component does not loosen or shift under high-altitude flight conditions, improving the stability of airborne operations.

[0017] The pump supply mechanism 2 adopts an independent electric pump set for constant pressure liquid supply, and has an internal onboard electronic control module. The pump supply mechanism 2 adopts an independent electric pump set for constant pressure liquid supply, and, in conjunction with the internal onboard electronic control module, precisely regulates the pump speed through electronic control closed loop to achieve constant pressure and constant flow delivery of extinguishing agent, completely eliminating the drawbacks of pressure attenuation in stored-pressure liquid supply.

[0018] The support assembly 11 includes a slider 1101, which is slidably disposed inside the box 8. One side of the slider 1101 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod 9. A pull rod 1102 is fixedly disposed on the other side of the slider 1101. A spring 1103 is sleeved on the surface of the pull rod 1102. One end of the pull rod 1102 passes through the box 8 and is fixedly connected to a pull cap 1104 disposed on the outside of the box 8. One end of the spring 1103 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 1101, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box 8. The spring 1103 elastically pushes the slider 1101, thereby driving the limiting rod 9 to automatically limit and lock the pressure plate 7, eliminating the need for cumbersome manual fixing. Pulling the pull cap 1104 will cause the pull rod 1102 and the slider 1101 to retract, releasing the constraint of the limiting rod 9 on the pressure plate 7, achieving quick unlocking. The elastic self-locking structure has strong stability and is not easy to loosen, greatly improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

[0019] Support legs 14 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the drone body 1. The bottom of the support legs 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 3. Two support pads 13 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the support legs 14. The support legs 14 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the drone body 1. The bottom of the support legs 14 is fixedly connected to the bracket 3. Together with the two support pads 13 at the bottom, a stable airborne support system is formed, which evenly distributes the weight of the device and avoids local stress concentration that could damage the drone body 1. At the same time, it improves the flight balance after the device is mounted.

[0020] The bottom end of the pump supply mechanism 2 is fixedly provided with a connecting hose 12, and the top end of the gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4 is fixedly provided with an installation head 15 that connects and cooperates with the connecting hose 12. Through the quick docking of the connecting hose 12 and the installation head 15, the fire extinguishing agent is delivered in a closed manner. The docking is convenient and the sealing performance is excellent, which avoids the leakage of the fire extinguishing agent. At the same time, it is compatible with the disassembly and relocation of the gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4 to ensure that the liquid supply path is unobstructed.

[0021] A lever 16 is fixedly provided on the top of one side of the clamping plate 7, and a protective pad is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the clamping plate 7. The lever 16 makes it easy to open and close the clamping plate 7 by moving it, making the operation more labor-saving. The protective pad can prevent the clamping plate 7 from rigidly contacting the gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4, preventing scratches and damage to the surface of the component, while increasing the friction, further improving the fastening stability, and preventing the component from slipping off during high-altitude operations.

[0022] In use, first, place the gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4 stably on the top of the support 3, so that the two sides of the gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4 are precisely engaged with the card seats 10 fixed on both sides of the support 3, completing the initial positioning; then, move the lever 16 on the top of the pressing plate 7, causing the pressing plate 7, which is rotated inside the support block 6, to press down and fit against the outer wall of the gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4; in the support component 11 inside the box body 8, the spring 1103 continuously and elastically pushes the slider 1101, causing the limiting rod 9 fixed on one side of the slider 1101 to slide outward, using the limiting rod 9 to automatically limit and lock the pressing plate 7 after it is pressed down, realizing the rapid fastening of the gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4; the inner wall of the pressing plate 7 is protected against The protective pad is synchronously attached to the outer wall of the component to avoid rigid contact that could scratch the component surface, while increasing friction to prevent the component from slipping during high-altitude operations. Next, the connecting hose 12 at the bottom of the pump supply mechanism 2 is quickly connected to the mounting head 15 at the top of the gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4 to form a sealed liquid supply path, preventing extinguishing agent leakage and accommodating the disassembly and relocation of the gas-liquid mixing foaming component 4 to ensure unobstructed liquid supply. After assembly, the drone body 1 and the pump supply mechanism 2 are activated to carry out high-altitude firefighting operations. The pump supply mechanism 2 adopts an independent electric pump constant pressure liquid supply mode. After activation, its internal onboard electronic control module starts, precisely controlling the pump speed through an electronic control closed loop. The extinguishing agent is delivered under constant pressure and flow, completely eliminating the pressure decay drawbacks of pressurized liquid supply systems. This ensures stable and controllable spray distance and flow rate of the spray gun 5 throughout the entire process, making it suitable for precise fire suppression operations in high-rise buildings. The extinguishing agent is delivered to the gas-liquid mixing foaming assembly 4 via the connecting hose 12 and installation head 15. The device employs air-foam mixing and enhancement technology to efficiently foam 50L of extinguishing agent into 300L of foam liquid. The expanded foam liquid is then precisely sprayed onto the fire point through the spray gun 5, significantly expanding the fire suppression coverage and enhancing single-flight combat capability. During flight, the elastic self-locking structure composed of the limit rod 9 and spring 1103 continuously locks the pressure plate 7, cooperating with the locking and limiting action of the mounting bracket 10 to ensure... The gas-liquid mixing foam component 4 remains stable and without displacement during high-altitude flight, ensuring stability throughout the airborne operation. After the final operation is completed, pull the cap 1104 on the outside of the box 8 to retract the pull rod 1102 and the slider 1101 into the box 8, simultaneously compressing the spring 1103 and releasing the limiting rod 9 from the limiting constraint on the pressure plate 7. Move the lever 16 to flip the pressure plate 7 upwards, detaching it from the outer wall of the gas-liquid mixing foam component 4. Separate the gas-liquid mixing foam component 4 from the bracket 10 and disconnect the connection hose 12 from the installation head 15 to complete the component disassembly. The entire process is quick and suitable for rapid replacement, emergency power replenishment, and multi-aircraft collaborative operations at fire scenes.
