Essentially, it consists of a cluster of bubbles formed by mixing foam concentrate, water, and air. It can be understood as a special medium that can cover, cool, and isolate the flames.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0042] See Figures 1-7 A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a foam proportioning mixing device for fire fighting, characterized in that it comprises: a mixing tank 1, a stirring mechanism 2, a rotary drive mechanism 3, a movable auxiliary stirring structure 4, a movable drive mechanism 5, a viscosity sensor 6, and a numerical control system.
[0043] The mixing tank 1 is provided with a mixed liquid outlet 12 and a storage chamber 11; the two ends of the mixed liquid outlet 12 are respectively connected to the storage chamber 11 and the external environment; the stirring mechanism 2 is located in the storage chamber 11 and is pivotally connected to the mixing tank 1; the stirring mechanism 2 is provided with a fixed stirring structure 21; the rotary drive mechanism 3 is installed on the outer wall of the mixing tank 1, and the output end of the rotary drive mechanism 3 drives and connects to the stirring mechanism 2; it can be understood that the rotary drive mechanism 3 can be selected from hydraulic motors, electric motors, gear transmission components and conveyor belts, etc.; more importantly, preferably, the stirring mechanism 2 can be pivotally connected to the center of the storage chamber 11 to stir all the mixed raw materials as much as possible; in addition, based on the prior art, the mixed liquid raw materials include air, water and concentrated foam liquid, therefore, the sealing of the storage chamber 11 should be ensured. Therefore, the mixed liquid outlet 12 should be connected to an on / off valve to control the opening and closing of the storage chamber 11 and control the flow rate of the mixed liquid at the mixed liquid outlet 12;
[0044] The movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 is movably installed on the stirring mechanism 2. The movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 works in conjunction with the fixed stirring structure 21 to form a stirring area. The movable drive mechanism 5 is installed on the stirring mechanism 2. The output end of the movable drive mechanism 5 drives the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4, thereby adjusting the size of the stirring area. It can be understood that the fixed stirring structure 21 is supported by the stirring mechanism 2 to rotate with it. Furthermore, the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 can be movably installed on the stirring mechanism 2 through methods such as pivoting, rotating, sliding, or plugging. Simultaneously, depending on the usage environment, the movable drive mechanism 5 can be selected from mechanisms such as electric motors, hydraulic motors, electric push rods, or hydraulic cylinders. More importantly, this configuration allows the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 to compensate for the deficiencies of the fixed stirring structure 21, thereby compensating for the area stirred in a single rotation. This compensation mechanism is controlled by the movable drive mechanism 5, enabling real-time adjustment of the size of the stirring area, thus improving the mixing effect of the fire-fighting foam proportioning mixing device.
[0045] The viscosity sensor 6 is disposed at the mixture outlet 12 and is used to detect the viscosity of the mixture. The CNC system is electrically connected to the rotary drive mechanism 3, the movable drive mechanism 5, and the viscosity sensor 6. The CNC system is used to control the operation of the rotary drive mechanism 3 and the movable drive mechanism 5 according to the viscosity data of the viscosity sensor 6, so as to change the rotary speed of the stirring mechanism 2 and the size of the stirring area according to the viscosity of the mixture. Based on the prior art, the viscosity sensor 6 can be selected from models such as E+E Elektronik and LEMIS Process. More importantly, by monitoring the viscosity of the finished mixture and controlling and adjusting the size of the stirring area through the CNC system, the response speed of the controlled end can be improved, thereby improving the stirring effect of the fire-fighting foam proportioning mixing device.
[0046] In use, the user needs to preset the mixing ratio of the fire-fighting foam through the CNC system. At this time, the CNC system controls the operation of the movable drive mechanism 5 and drives the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 to change the size of the stirring area until the preset position is reached. After the adjustment is completed, the user needs to start the rotary drive mechanism 3 through the CNC system. At this time, the stirring mechanism 2 starts to rotate. During the rotation, the stirring area formed between the fixed stirring structure 21 and the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 continuously and rapidly stirs the raw materials in the liquid storage chamber 11. If the viscosity data collected by the viscosity sensor 6 is lower than the preset value, then the movable drive mechanism 5 is controlled by the CNC system again and drives the movable auxiliary stirring structure, causing the area of the stirring area to further expand until the viscosity of the mixture is greater than or equal to the preset threshold.
[0047] The mixing tank 1 is provided with a mixed liquid outlet 12 and a storage chamber 11. The two ends of the mixed liquid outlet 12 are respectively connected to the storage chamber 11 and the external environment. The stirring mechanism 2 is located in the storage chamber 11 and is pivotally connected to the mixing tank 1. The stirring mechanism 2 is provided with a fixed stirring structure 21. The rotary drive mechanism 3 is installed on the outer wall of the mixing tank 1, and its output end drives the stirring mechanism 2. It can be understood that the rotary drive mechanism 3 can be selected from mechanisms such as hydraulic motors, electric motors, gear transmission components, and conveyor belts. More importantly, and preferably, the stirring mechanism 2 can be pivotally connected to the center of the storage chamber 11 to agitate all the mixed raw materials as much as possible. In addition, based on existing technology, the mixed liquid raw materials include air, water, and concentrated foam liquid. Therefore, the sealing of the storage chamber 11 should be ensured. Thus, the mixed liquid outlet 12 should be connected to an on / off valve to control the opening and closing of the storage chamber 11 and control the flow rate of the mixed liquid at the mixed liquid outlet 12.
[0048] The movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 is movably installed on the stirring mechanism 2. The movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 works in conjunction with the fixed stirring structure 21 to form a stirring area. The movable drive mechanism 5 is installed on the stirring mechanism 2, and its output end drives the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4. The movable drive mechanism 5 drives the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 to move, thereby adjusting the size of the stirring area. It can be understood that the fixed stirring structure 21 is supported by the stirring mechanism 2 to rotate with it. Furthermore, the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 can be movably installed on the stirring mechanism 2 through methods such as pivoting, rotating, sliding, or plugging. Simultaneously, depending on the usage environment, the movable drive mechanism 5 can be selected from mechanisms such as electric motors, hydraulic motors, electric push rods, or hydraulic cylinders. More importantly, this configuration allows the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 to compensate for the deficiencies of the fixed stirring structure 21, thereby compensating for the area stirred in a single rotation. This compensation mechanism is controlled by the movable drive mechanism 5, enabling real-time adjustment of the size of the stirring area, thus improving the mixing effect of the fire-fighting foam proportioning mixing device.
[0049] The viscosity sensor 6 is located at the mixture outlet 12 and is used to detect the viscosity of the mixture. The CNC system is electrically connected to the rotary drive mechanism 3, the movable drive mechanism 5, and the viscosity sensor 6. The CNC system controls the operation of the rotary drive mechanism 3 and the movable drive mechanism 5 according to the viscosity data from the viscosity sensor 6, so as to change the rotary speed of the stirring mechanism 2 and the size of the stirring area according to the viscosity of the mixture. Based on existing technology, the viscosity sensor 6 can be selected from models such as E+E Elektronik and LEMIS Process. More importantly, by monitoring the viscosity of the finished mixture and controlling and adjusting the size of the stirring area through the CNC system, the response speed of the controlled end can be improved, thereby improving the stirring effect of the fire-fighting foam proportioning mixing device.
[0050] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5Preferably, the mixing tank 1 includes a first tank body 13 and a second tank body 14 connected in sequence; the first tank body 13 is provided with a liquid inlet 131; the second tank body 14 is provided with a gas inlet 141, a foam liquid inlet 142 and a mixed liquid outlet 12; the first tank body 13 is detachably installed on the second tank body 14 to jointly form the liquid storage chamber 11; the fire-fighting foam proportioning mixing device further includes a liquid delivery mechanism 7, a gas delivery mechanism 8 and a foam liquid conveying mechanism 9; the liquid delivery mechanism 7 is detachably installed on the first tank body 13, and the output end of the liquid delivery mechanism 7 is connected to the liquid inlet 131; the gas delivery mechanism 8 is detachably installed on the second tank body 14, and the output end of the gas delivery mechanism 8 is connected to the liquid inlet 131. The gas inlet 141 is connected to the foam liquid inlet 142; the foam liquid conveying mechanism 9 is detachably installed on the second tank 14, and the output end of the foam liquid conveying mechanism 9 is connected to the foam liquid inlet 142; preferably, based on the usage environment, the first tank 13 can be installed on the second tank 14 by a "threaded connection"; more importantly, with this arrangement, the first tank 13 and the second tank 14 can be easily disassembled and separated by the user after use to clean the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 11, avoiding residual substances from contaminating the raw materials and affecting the next round of mixing; at the same time, the liquid conveying mechanism 7, the gas conveying mechanism 8 and the foam liquid conveying mechanism 9 can also be disassembled and installed to facilitate user maintenance and prevent damage during use from affecting mixing.
[0051] See Figure 2 Preferably, the stirring mechanism 2 includes a drive shaft 22; the two ends of the drive shaft 22 are pivotally connected to the first tank 13 and the second tank 14 respectively; the drive shaft 22 is provided with the fixed stirring structure 21, which is supported by the drive shaft 22 and rotates with the drive shaft 22; the rotary drive mechanism 3 is installed on the second tank 14, and the rotary drive mechanism 3 drives the end of the drive shaft 22 near the second tank 14; the movable drive mechanism 5 is installed on one end of the drive shaft 22; the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 is movably installed on the drive shaft 22; since the liquid storage chamber 11 is a humid environment, it is easy to reduce the service life of the drive mechanism. Therefore, the rotary drive mechanism 3 and the movable drive mechanism 5 are installed outside the liquid storage chamber 11 to ensure their service life and avoid affecting the mixing effect.
[0052] See Figure 2Preferably, one of the transmission main shaft 22 and the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 is provided with an annular moving structure 41, and the other is provided with an annular guiding structure 221, wherein the annular moving structure 41 is slidably nested within the annular guiding structure 221; the transmission main shaft 22 is provided with a clearance structure 222; the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 is provided with a driven part 42, which is correspondingly arranged with the clearance structure 222; the output end of the movable driving mechanism 5 passes through the clearance structure 222 and drives the driven part 42; it can be understood that the annular moving structure Structure 41 can be configured as an annular guide slider, and the annular guide structure 221 can be configured as an annular guide groove, and the annular guide slider should be nested in the annular guide groove; obviously, this configuration is to prevent the movable auxiliary stirring structure 4 from falling off and causing deformation and failure; more importantly, obviously, the driven part 42 is driven by the movable driving mechanism 5 to slide along the extension trajectory of the avoidance structure 222, the avoidance structure 222 can be configured as a through groove, and the driven part 42 and the output end of the movable driving mechanism 5 can be connected by means of threaded connection, plug-in and sleeve connection, etc.
[0053] See Figure 4 Preferably, the avoidance structure 222 is an arc-shaped avoidance groove; the driven part 42 is a mounting hole; the movable drive mechanism 5 includes:
[0054] A plug 51 is pivotally connected to one end of the transmission main shaft 22; it can be understood that the plug 51 is used to limit the relative sliding between the movable drive mechanism 5 and the transmission main shaft 22 in the axial direction.
[0055] A transmission rod 52, one end of which is disposed in the insertion post 51, and the other end is sequentially inserted through the arc-shaped clearance groove and the mounting hole; the transmission rod 52 is used to move the mounting hole along the extension trajectory of the arc-shaped clearance groove; it can be understood that the transmission rod 52 should pass through the transmission main shaft 22;
[0056] A rotary drive mechanism 53 is mounted on the transmission main shaft 22 and drives the plug-in pin 51. The rotary drive mechanism 53 can be a hydraulic motor, an electric motor, or other mechanism.
[0057] The elastic reset member 54 has two ends that abut against the outer walls of the rotary drive mechanism 53 and the transmission main shaft 22, respectively, so that the rotary drive mechanism 53 has a tendency to move away from the transmission main shaft 22. Since the operating environment of the fire-fighting foam proportioning mixing device is not fixed, it is very likely to be in a bumpy environment caused by the dispatch of fire trucks. The elastic reset member 54 is used to prevent the rotary drive mechanism 53 from being too rigidly fitted with the mixing tank 1, and to prevent the two from being damaged by collision, which would affect the mixing efficiency.
[0058] A fixing plate 55 is detachably mounted on the transmission rod 52 at one end away from the insertion post 51; the fixing plate 55 is used to fix the transmission rod 52; obviously, the fixing plate 55 is used to prevent the transmission rod 52 from detaching from the transmission main shaft 22, so as to avoid transmission failure affecting the mixing effect.
[0059] See Figure 2 and Figure 5 Preferably, multiple fixed stirring structures 21 are provided, and these multiple fixed stirring structures 21 are distributed at intervals along the length direction of the transmission main shaft 22; multiple movable auxiliary stirring structures 4 are provided, and these multiple movable auxiliary stirring structures 4 and the multiple fixed stirring structures 21 are arranged alternately along the length direction of the transmission main shaft 22; multiple arc-shaped clearance grooves are provided, and these multiple arc-shaped clearance grooves are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the transmission main shaft 22; multiple mounting holes are provided, and these multiple mounting holes are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the transmission main shaft 22, with each mounting hole corresponding to each arc-shaped clearance groove. The device is configured with multiple transmission rods 52, which are distributed circumferentially along the transmission main shaft 22. Each transmission rod 52 is inserted into a corresponding arc-shaped clearance groove. This configuration is intended to improve the transmission speed of the movable drive mechanism 5, thereby reducing the impact of the torsional stress on the transmission rods 52 on the operation of the rotary drive mechanism 53. Simultaneously, the multiple movable auxiliary stirring structures 4 and the multiple fixed stirring structures 21 are staggered to further expand the stirring area, thereby further improving the mixing effect of the fire-fighting foam proportioning mixing device.
[0060] See Figure 6Preferably, the first tank body 13 is provided with an annular mounting groove 132, which extends circumferentially along the first tank body 13; the liquid inlet 131 is disposed on the bottom wall of the annular mounting groove 132; there are multiple liquid inlets 131, which are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the first tank body 13; the infusion mechanism 7 is installed in the annular mounting groove 132, and the output end of the infusion mechanism 7 is connected to each of the liquid inlets 131 respectively; it can be understood that with this arrangement, the liquid for the mixture can be input into the storage chamber 11 around the stirring mechanism 2 to initially disperse the addition of raw materials, and the stirring mechanism 2 can simultaneously stir multiple raw materials, thereby improving the mixing efficiency and the mixing effect.
[0061] See Figure 6 Preferably, the sidewall of the annular mounting groove 132 is provided with a limiting groove 133; the infusion mechanism 7 includes an embedded infusion device 71, a pressurizing pump, and a storage tank connected in sequence; the embedded infusion device 71 is provided with a limiting ring 711, a liquid nozzle 712, and a liquid inlet 713, the limiting ring 711 being nested in the limiting groove 133; multiple liquid nozzles 712 are provided, each liquid nozzle 712 being inserted into the corresponding liquid inlet 131; the liquid inlet 713 is connected to the pressurizing pump; the pressurizing pump and the storage tank are both installed in the first tank body 13; obviously, as mentioned above, the fire-fighting foam proportioning mixing device is very likely to be used in a bumpy environment. Therefore, the limiting groove 133 and the limiting ring 711 are used to fix the embedded infusion device 71, preventing it from loosening or even falling off, causing raw material loss, affecting the overall mixing process, and thus improving the mixing effect of the fire-fighting foam proportioning mixing device.
[0062] See Figure 2 and Figure 3Preferably, the second tank 14 includes a tank body 143 and a pipe fixing mechanism 146; the tank body 143 is provided with a first assembly structure 1431, a second assembly structure 1432, and a pipe outlet 1433; the gas inlet 141 is disposed in the first assembly structure 1431; the output end of the gas conveying mechanism 8 is detachably installed in the first assembly structure 1431; the foam liquid inlet 142 is disposed in the second assembly structure 1432; the output end of the foam liquid conveying mechanism 9 is detachably installed in the second assembly structure 1432; the pipe fixing mechanism 146 is slidably inserted into the pipe outlet 1433 to be able to close or open the pipe outlet 1433; The pipe fixing mechanism 146 is provided with a pipe receiving hole 1461. The input ends of the gas conveying mechanism 8 and the foam liquid conveying mechanism 9 are located at the pipe outlet 1433 and pass through the pipe receiving hole 1461. It can be understood that the first assembly structure 1431 and the second assembly structure 1432 can both be set as grooves. Obviously, this setting is to simplify the overall structure and make the internal structure of the liquid storage chamber 11 more compact, so as to make room for the mixing space and the stirring space of the stirring mechanism 2. Furthermore, this setting makes it easy for users to disassemble the output end of the foam liquid conveying mechanism 9 and the output end of the gas conveying mechanism 8 for maintenance and replacement, so as to ensure the normal operation of the mechanism and thus improve the mixing effect.
[0063] See Figure 7 Preferably, both the first assembly structure 1431 and the second assembly structure 1432 are assembly grooves; the second tank 14 further includes a first sealing element 144 and a second sealing element 145; the first sealing element 144 is inserted into the first assembly structure 1431, and the first sealing element 144 is used to seal the gap between the output end of the gas conveying mechanism 8 and the first assembly structure 1431; the second sealing element 145 is inserted into the second assembly structure 1432, and the second sealing element 145 is used to seal the gap between the output end of the foam liquid conveying mechanism 9 and the second assembly structure 1432; obviously, this arrangement is to prevent the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 11 from seeping into the first assembly structure 1431, causing raw material loss and resulting in an imbalance in the mixing ratio, thereby improving the mixing effect.
