Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire protection technology, and specifically to a mixed fire extinguishing agent spraying structure for fire-fighting drones. Background Technology

[0002] Mixed extinguishing agents refer to composite extinguishing agents composed of two or more different types of extinguishing components combined in a specific ratio, which can synergistically enhance the extinguishing effect. Common components may include water, foam liquid, dry powder, flame retardant, extinguishing additives, etc. Through the complementary effect between different components, they can simultaneously achieve functions such as cooling, isolating oxygen, inhibiting the combustion chain reaction, and preventing reignition. They are suitable for fighting complex fires and various types of fires.

[0003] Chinese patent CN213555052U discloses an intelligent jet device based on gaseous fire extinguishing agent. When the intelligent jet device is powered on, the flame detector in the fire detection / spraying structure detects a fire and sends a signal to a remote controller. The remote controller has a remote control function and automatically responds by issuing commands to the actuator and the electric valve. The actuator operates, controlling the container valve to open, and the electric valve opens, connecting the cylinder to the fire pipeline. The gaseous fire extinguishing agent flows through the fire pipeline and is sprayed out from the fire detection / spraying structure, thereby extinguishing the fire.

[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 As shown:

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] This invention provides a mixed fire extinguishing agent spraying structure for firefighting drones, including a mounting base 1;

[0040] The mixing mechanism 2 is installed at the bottom center of the mounting base 1 and provides a core cavity for efficient mixing of different types of fire extinguishing agents;

[0041] The mixing mechanism 2 includes a mixer 21, three mounting brackets 22, variable-pitch guide vanes 23, multiple baffle columns 24, equidistant guide vanes 25, and a rectifier 26. The three mounting brackets 22 are all fitted onto the outer wall of the mixer 21, with the top of each bracket mounted on the bottom of the mounting base 1. This three-point mounting layout provides stable support for the mixer 21, effectively preventing structural loosening caused by vibrations generated during UAV flight and ensuring the mixing and delivery of the extinguishing agent. For stability, the variable-pitch guide vane 23 is installed inside the left side of the mixer 21, and multiple turbulence columns 24 are installed inside the middle side of the mixer 21 and arranged sequentially along the throat axis of the mixer 21. The equidistant guide vane 25 and the rectifier 26 are installed inside the right side of the mixer 21, and the equidistant guide vane 25 is located to the left of the rectifier 26, forming a hierarchical internal structure from left to right: flow guidance, turbulence, secondary flow guidance, and rectification, so as to realize the gradual mixing and flow pattern management of the extinguishing agent.

[0042] Adjustment mechanism 3, installed at one end of mixing mechanism 2, is used to adjust the spraying distance and angle of extinguishing agent;

[0043] The variable diameter mechanism 4 is installed at one end of the adjustment mechanism 3 to adapt to different fire conditions and achieve flexible adjustment of the spray pattern and diameter.

[0044] Two storage tank supports 5 are respectively installed on both sides of the bottom end of the mounting base 1. Fire extinguishing agent storage tanks 6 are respectively installed on the inner walls of the two storage tank supports 5. One end of each of the two fire extinguishing agent storage tanks 6 is provided with a delivery pipe 7. Solenoid valves 8 are provided on both delivery pipes 7. The solenoid valves 8 are normally closed solenoid control valves, which can realize precise control of the on and off of the delivery of fire extinguishing agent, and at the same time facilitate the control box 12 to adjust the delivery ratio and flow rate of fire extinguishing agent.

[0045] Both sides of the top of the mounting base 1 are equipped with drone mounting racks 9. The drone mounting racks 9 have multiple mounting holes to adapt to the mounting interfaces of different models of fire-fighting drones, so as to realize the quick and fixed connection between the device and the fire-fighting drone. The top center of the mounting base 1 has a storage groove 10. The bottom wall of the storage groove 10 has multiple heat dissipation holes 11. The bottom wall of the storage groove 10 is equipped with a control box 12. The heat dissipation holes 11 are arranged in an array to quickly dissipate the heat generated by the control box 12 during operation, avoid damage to the internal electronic components caused by high temperature, and extend the service life of the control box 12.

[0046] The mixer 21 adopts a Venturi structure, utilizing the Venturi effect to achieve flow rate pressurization and initial mixing of the extinguishing agent. The variable pitch guide vane 23 adopts a gradually changing pitch structure. The gradually changing pitch causes the extinguishing agent entering the mixer 21 to form a gradient swirling flow as the pitch changes. The large pitch at the inlet end facilitates fluid introduction, while the small pitch near the throat accelerates the swirling flow, allowing the two extinguishing agents to initially form a swirling state and produce initial mixing. The included angle between the axes of two adjacent turbulence columns 24 is 22.5°. This angle allows multiple turbulence columns 24 to form a uniform turbulence barrier at the throat of the mixer 21, causing the swirling extinguishing agent to flow through at multiple angles and directions. The collision, dispersion, and turbulence break the laminar flow state of the extinguishing agent, allowing the two extinguishing agents to fully contact each other and greatly improving the basic mixing effect. The pitch of the equidistant guide plate 25 is smaller than the minimum pitch of the variable pitch guide plate 23. The smaller equidistant pitch can finely comb through the turbulent extinguishing agent dispersed by the turbulence column 24 and accelerate the secondary swirl, allowing the extinguishing agent that is not fully mixed to form a high-speed swirl again and be deeply mixed. The rectifier 26 adopts a honeycomb structure. The honeycomb structure of the rectifier 26 can comb the mixed extinguishing agent in the swirling state into a stable direct current state, avoiding the problems of turbulent flow and dispersion of the extinguishing agent during spraying.

[0047] The two extinguishing agent storage tanks 6 store different types of extinguishing agents, such as combinations of water-based extinguishing agents, foam extinguishing agents, and dry powder extinguishing agents. The two delivery pipes 7 are tangentially connected to the top left and bottom left of the mixer 21, respectively. The tangential connection allows the extinguishing agent to enter the cavity along the tangential direction of the inner wall of the mixer 21, naturally forming a swirling flow, which lays the foundation for subsequent thorough mixing.

[0048] The mounting base 1 is installed on the fire-fighting drone via the drone mounting frame 9. The drone mounting frame 9 can achieve a stable connection with the fire-fighting drone, meeting the mounting requirements for aerial fire-fighting operations. The control box 12 is electrically connected to the adjustment mechanism 3, the diameter changing mechanism 4, and the solenoid valve 8. The control box 12 integrates a microcontroller, a wireless communication module, and a power supply module, which can realize remote signal interaction with the fire-fighting drone and complete remote linkage control of each mechanism.

[0049] Working Principle: The mounting base 1 is installed on the fire-fighting drone via the drone mounting frame 9 to achieve aerial operation. During operation, the control box 12 controls the linkage of all components. First, the solenoid valves 8 on the two delivery pipes 7 are opened synchronously, allowing different types of extinguishing agents in the two extinguishing agent storage tanks 6 to enter the mixer 21 tangentially through the delivery pipes 7. The Venturi structure of the mixer 21 achieves initial flow rate regulation. The extinguishing agent first passes through the variable pitch guide vane 23 on the left side of the mixer 21, forming a swirling flow under the guidance of the gradually changing pitch. Then, it flows through multiple turbulence columns 24 arranged sequentially along the throat axis in the middle of the interior. Under the action of the turbulence columns 24, it is fully collided and dispersed, consolidating the basic mixing effect. Then, the extinguishing agent continues to flow to the right, passing through the equidistant guide vane 25 with a pitch smaller than the minimum pitch of the variable pitch guide vane 23, further sorting the swirling flow and achieving the mixing effect of the two extinguishing agents. The mixture is deeply integrated and then rectified by the honeycomb-structured rectifier 26 to form a uniformly mixed and stable flow of extinguishing agent. The mixed extinguishing agent flows sequentially through the regulating mechanism 3 and the variable diameter mechanism 4 to complete the spraying operation. This structure, through the hierarchical design of the variable pitch guide vane 23, the turbulence column 24, the equidistant guide vane 25 and the rectifier 26, combined with the precise on / off control of the solenoid valve 8, allows the two extinguishing agents to fully swirl, collide and merge in the mixing chamber, greatly improving the mixing uniformity. This not only achieves precise proportioning and efficient mixing of different types of extinguishing agents, solving the problem that traditional fire-fighting drones can only spray a single extinguishing agent and have weak ability to deal with complex fires, but also achieves synergistic fire extinguishing effects such as cooling, oxygen isolation and inhibition of combustion chain reactions, effectively improving fire extinguishing efficiency, enhancing adaptability to various types of fires such as oil, electrical, and chemical fires, and reducing the probability of fire reignition.

[0050] Example 2:

[0051] This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that the adjustment mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 31, a telescopic drive assembly 32, a rotating mechanism 33, a spray pipe 34, and a variable diameter nozzle 35. The mounting plate 31 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 1, and the telescopic drive assembly 32 is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 31. The telescopic drive assembly 32 adopts an electric push rod structure, which has the characteristics of precise telescopic stroke and stable driving force. The telescopic length can be freely adjusted according to the operation requirements. The rotating mechanism 33 is installed at the bottom of the telescopic drive assembly 32, and the spray pipe 34 is installed inside the rotating mechanism 33. The left end of the spray pipe 34 is connected to the right end of the mixer 21, and the variable diameter nozzle 35 is installed at the right end of the spray pipe 34.

[0052] The rotating mechanism 33 includes a fixed frame 331, a rotating frame 332, a rotating drive assembly 333, and an electric rotating table 334. The rotating frame 332 is mounted between the inner walls of the two sides of the fixed frame 331 via bearings, and the inner wall of the rotating frame 332 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the spray pipe 34. The rotating drive assembly 333 is mounted on the lower side of the outer wall of the rotating frame 332. The rotating drive assembly 333 adopts a servo motor and gear transmission structure, which has high transmission accuracy and can realize precise angle control of the rotating frame 332. The electric rotating table 334 is mounted on the top of the fixed frame 331, and the top of the electric rotating table 334 is mounted on the bottom of the telescopic drive assembly 32.

[0053] The mounting bracket 331 is designed with a Y-shaped structure. Compared with the traditional frame structure, the Y-shaped mounting bracket 331 significantly reduces its own weight while ensuring structural support strength, making it suitable for the load requirements of fire-fighting drones. The spray pipe 34 adopts a telescopic structure, which allows the length of the spray pipe 34 to be freely adjusted according to the fire operation distance, adapting to the spraying needs of fire-fighting drones at different flight altitudes and fire distances, changing the effective spraying distance of the extinguishing agent, and at the same time, it works with the rotating mechanism 33 to achieve multi-dimensional spraying, improving the operational flexibility of the device. The variable diameter nozzle 35 uses a flexible rubber tube body, which has good elasticity and deformation ability, and can flexibly switch the cross-sectional shape under external pressure.

[0054] Working principle: The extinguishing agent spraying distance and angle are flexibly controlled through the adjusting mechanism 3. During operation, the uniformly mixed extinguishing agent in the mixer 21 flows into the spray pipe 34. The control box 12 can control the telescopic drive component 32 to telescopically move according to the fire situation and the required operating distance, driving the rotating mechanism 33 and the spray pipe 34 to telescopically extend and retract synchronously. The telescopic structure of the spray pipe 34 allows for free adjustment of the effective spraying distance, adapting to the spraying needs of fires at different heights and distances. At the same time, the control box 12 drives the rotating mechanism 33 in linkage, and the electric rotating table 334 drives the fixed frame 331 and the entire spray pipe. The pipe 34 rotates horizontally, while the rotation drive assembly 333 drives the rotating frame 332 to rotate vertically around the bearing of the fixed frame 331. The rotating frame 332 is fixedly connected to the spray pipe 34 and drives it to rotate synchronously. Through the dual drive of the electric rotating table 334 and the rotation drive assembly 333, the multi-dimensional rotation adjustment of the spray pipe 34 and the variable diameter nozzle 35 can be realized. Combined with the flight position of the fire-fighting drone, it can ensure that the extinguishing agent can be stably delivered at different spray angles and distances, and accurately sprayed to the core area of ​​the fire, effectively improving the flexibility and accuracy of fire-fighting operations and avoiding the ineffective waste of extinguishing agent.

[0055] Example 3:

[0056] This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that the diameter changing mechanism 4 includes a diameter changing frame 41, multiple diameter changing drive components 42, multiple diameter changing blocks 43, a camera 44, and two fixing rods 45. The multiple diameter changing drive components 42 are respectively installed in the middle of the four outer walls of the diameter changing frame 41. The diameter changing drive components 42 adopt a miniature electric push rod structure, which is small in size and has high telescopic accuracy, adapting to the installation space and adjustment requirements of the diameter changing frame 41. The multiple diameter changing blocks 43 are respectively installed at the output ends of the multiple diameter changing drive components 42, and the camera 44 is installed on the diameter changing frame 41. On one side of the top, the camera 44 is a high-definition night vision wide-angle camera, which can capture the image information of the fire area in real time in complex fire environment and transmit the image to the control box 12 and the control terminal of the fire-fighting drone. Two fixed rods 45 are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the left end of the variable diameter frame 41, and the inner sides of the two fixed rods 45 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating frame 332. Through the symmetrical connection of the two fixed rods 45, the variable diameter mechanism 4 and the rotating mechanism 33 are stably connected, ensuring that the variable diameter mechanism 4 is synchronously linked when the rotating mechanism 33 rotates, without relative displacement.

[0057] The variable diameter frame 41 is a rectangular structure and is fitted onto the outer wall of the variable diameter nozzle 35. An adjustment gap is reserved between the variable diameter frame 41 and the variable diameter nozzle 35. The reserved adjustment gap provides sufficient space for the expansion and contraction of the variable diameter block 43 and the deformation of the variable diameter nozzle 35, avoiding interference between the structures. The end of the variable diameter block 43 near the variable diameter nozzle 35 is set as an arc-shaped end face. The arc-shaped end face is adapted to the arc-shaped outer wall of the variable diameter nozzle 35. When squeezed, it can fit tightly against the outer wall of the variable diameter nozzle 35 to achieve uniform squeezing and avoid excessive local force that could damage the variable diameter nozzle 35.

[0058] Working principle: The variable diameter mechanism 4 enables adaptive control of the extinguishing agent spray pattern and diameter. During operation, the camera 44 captures real-time information such as the range and intensity of the fire area and feeds it back to the control box 12, providing data for the variable diameter adjustment. The control box 12 controls multiple variable diameter drive components 42 to operate synchronously based on the fire data. The variable diameter drive components 42 drive the variable diameter blocks 43 at the output end to perform directional extension and retraction movements. The variable diameter blocks 43 on the upper and lower sides push and squeeze towards the variable diameter nozzle 35, while the variable diameter blocks 43 on the left and right sides pull the variable diameter nozzle 35 outward. Through the synergistic effect of pushing and pulling, the outlet cross-section of the variable diameter nozzle 35 forms an elliptical flat shape. The system allows for flexible switching of the nozzle cross-section from circular to elliptical and flat, adapting to the spraying needs of different fire conditions. For small, localized fires, the system controls the resetting of each diameter-changing block 43, maintaining the nozzle's circular opening for precise and concentrated spraying of the extinguishing agent. For large-area fires, the aforementioned pushing and pulling action causes the nozzle to form an elliptical and flat wide opening, achieving wide-area coverage spraying of the extinguishing agent. The coordinated operation of the diameter-changing mechanism 4 and the adjustment mechanism 3, combined with fire monitoring feedback from the camera 44, enables linked control of fire monitoring and spraying operations. This allows the structure to flexibly adjust the spraying method according to the actual fire situation, further improving the targeting and efficiency of fire extinguishing operations and maximizing the extinguishing effect of the mixed extinguishing agent.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
