Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent fire monitoring technology, specifically to an intelligent fire monitoring system. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial component of modern building fire safety, intelligent fire monitoring systems typically employ rotating monitoring equipment (such as PTZ cameras or rotating sensors) to expand monitoring coverage and achieve real-time status monitoring of multiple fire protection facilities within the building (such as fire sprinklers and smoke detectors). When the system detects a malfunction in a device, it can accurately mark the location of the fault on an electronic map or monitoring screen via backend software. Maintenance personnel can then proceed to the site to perform maintenance work based on the location coordinates displayed on the backend.

[0003] In actual operation and maintenance, maintenance personnel often face the problem of "difficulty in location verification" after arriving at the area where the fault is located. Due to the complex internal environment of buildings, the similar appearance of similar equipment, or the dense installation locations, it is difficult to accurately locate the specific faulty equipment in a short time based solely on the coordinate information provided by the back-end system. Maintenance personnel usually need to communicate repeatedly with the back-end system by phone, compare with on-site reference points, and even make multiple trips to confirm before finally determining the fault location. This "difficulty in finding the fault" not only prolongs the fault response time and increases ineffective work, but also easily leads to incorrect or missed repairs, thus significantly reducing the overall operation and maintenance efficiency and reliability of the fire protection system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A smart fire monitoring system includes a monitoring mechanism, a marking mechanism, and a supply mechanism. The monitoring mechanism includes a mounting plate, a bracket rotatably connected to the mounting plate, a plate frame fixed inside the bracket and abutting the bottom of the mounting plate, a motor fixed between the mounting plate and the plate frame, and a monitor fixed inside the bracket. The marking mechanism includes a robotic arm fixed to the bottom of the bracket, a carrier sleeved on the outside of the output end of the robotic arm, a rectangular block fixed to the outer end of the carrier, a precision nozzle fixed to the outer end, a miniature solenoid valve mounted on the precision nozzle, a laser sight fixed to the outer wall of the rectangular block, and a fluid channel opened inside the rectangular block and communicating with the inside of the precision nozzle. The laser sight is connected in series with the robotic arm. The supply mechanism includes a housing fixed to the outer wall of the carrier, a slidable insert penetrating the bottom of the housing, a flexible tube penetrating the top of the housing, and a miniature pump fixed between the rectangular block and the flexible tube. The fluid channel communicates with the output end of the miniature pump.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the monitor captures a faulty nozzle, it transmits the captured image to the back-end display terminal. Maintenance personnel can initially pinpoint the location of the faulty nozzle by observing the image. Then, the maintenance personnel go to the designated room. During this process, the robotic arm drives the carrier to align itself with the faulty nozzle. After reaching the target location, the laser beam from the laser sight is projected onto the surface of the faulty nozzle. At the same time, the micro pump provides fluorescent agent to the precision nozzle. After opening the micro solenoid valve, the fluorescent agent is instantly shot to the faulty nozzle by the precision nozzle. Afterward, the staff can instantly lock the exact location of the faulty nozzle by observing the endpoint of the laser beam and the adhesion point of the fluorescent agent, thereby quickly starting the maintenance work.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: the mounting plate consists of a disc, six expansion screws and a T-shaped plate, the T-shaped plate is vertically coaxial with the disc, the top of the T-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the disc, the six expansion screws are evenly spaced and arranged in a ring around the outside of the T-shaped plate, the expansion screws are screwed to the disc, and annular grooves are provided at the bottom of the disc and the top of the T-shaped plate.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the bracket consists of a tray, six L-shaped ribs and a plurality of balls, the six L-shaped ribs are equally spaced and fixed around the top of the tray, the top of the L-shaped ribs extends movably between the disc and the T-shaped disc, and the plurality of balls are respectively rolled inside two annular grooves, and the balls are movably engaged with the L-shaped ribs.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that: the outer casing is composed of a housing and a screw cap, the screw cap being threadedly connected to the top end of the housing, and the hose body being fixedly inserted through the screw cap.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the insert box is provided with an agitation assembly, the agitation assembly includes a second motor whose body is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the insert box, and a stirring rod disposed inside the insert box, the bottom end of the stirring rod being fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the invention may be further configured such that the stirring rod is eccentrically positioned relative to the hose, and the stirring rod is made of a plastic material.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention may be further configured such that: a support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the insert box, the support plate is attached to the outside of the carrier, and a bolt is screwed between the support plate and the carrier.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: 1. In this invention, when the monitor captures a faulty nozzle, it transmits the captured image to the backend display terminal. Maintenance personnel can initially pinpoint the location of the faulty nozzle by observing the image. Then, the maintenance personnel go to the designated room. During this process, the robotic arm drives the carrier to align itself with the faulty nozzle. After reaching the target location, the laser beam from the laser sight is projected onto the surface of the faulty nozzle. At the same time, the micro pump provides fluorescent agent to the precision nozzle. After the micro solenoid valve is opened, the fluorescent agent is instantly shot to the faulty nozzle by the precision nozzle. Afterward, the staff can instantly lock the exact location of the faulty nozzle by observing the endpoint of the laser beam and the adhesion point of the fluorescent agent, thereby quickly commencing maintenance work.

[0014] 2. In this invention, after the laser beam is projected onto the surface of the faulty nozzle, the monitor determines whether the precision nozzle has been accurately aligned with the target by detecting the position of the laser landing point, thereby avoiding incorrect marking and further preventing maintenance personnel from doing ineffective work.

[0015] 3. In this invention, when the micro pump draws the fluorescent agent from the cartridge through the hose, the output shaft of the second motor drives the stirring rod to rotate. The stirring rod agitates the fluorescent agent, preventing it from becoming viscous or solidifying, and ensuring that the micro pump can draw the fluorescent agent smoothly.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0019] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0020] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention, providing a smart fire monitoring system.

[0021] Example 1: Combination Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a smart fire monitoring system, including a monitoring mechanism 100, a marking mechanism 200 and a supply mechanism 300. The monitoring mechanism 100 includes a mounting plate 110, a bracket 120 rotatably connected to the mounting plate 110, a plate frame 130 fixed inside the bracket 120 and attached to the bottom of the mounting plate 110, a motor 140 fixed between the mounting plate 110 and the plate frame 130, and a monitor 150 fixed inside the bracket 120. The marking mechanism 200 includes a robotic arm 210 fixedly connected to the bottom of the bracket 120, a carrier 220 sleeved on the outside of the output end of the robotic arm 210, a rectangular block 230 fixedly connected to the outer end of the carrier 220, a precision nozzle 240 fixedly connected to the outer end, a miniature solenoid valve 250 mounted on the precision nozzle 240, a laser sight 260 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rectangular block 230, and a fluid channel opened inside the rectangular block 230 and communicating with the inside of the precision nozzle 240. The laser sight 260 is connected in series with the robotic arm 210. The supply mechanism 300 includes a housing 310 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support member 220, a slidably inserted box 320 through the bottom end of the housing 310, a flexible tube 330 through the top end of the housing 310, and a micro pump 340 fixedly connected between the rectangular block 230 and the flexible tube 330. The fluid channel is connected to the output end of the micro pump 340.

[0022] Furthermore, the mounting plate 110 is composed of a disc 111, six expansion screws 112, and a T-shaped disc 113. The T-shaped disc 113 is vertically coaxial with the disc 111, and the top of the T-shaped disc 113 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the disc 111. The six expansion screws 112 are evenly spaced and arranged in a ring around the outside of the T-shaped disc 113. The expansion screws 112 are screwed to the disc 111. Both the bottom of the disc 111 and the top of the T-shaped disc 113 are provided with annular grooves 114. The structural design of the mounting plate 110 ensures that it can be firmly connected to the building ceiling and that it can stably lift the bracket 120.

[0023] Furthermore, the bracket 120 is composed of a tray 121, six L-shaped ribs 122 and multiple balls 123. The six L-shaped ribs 122 are evenly spaced and fixed around the top of the tray 121. The top of the L-shaped ribs 122 extends movably between the disc 111 and the T-shaped disc 113. The multiple balls 123 are respectively rolled inside the two annular grooves 114. The balls 123 are movably engaged with the L-shaped ribs 122. The structural design of the bracket 120 enables the bracket 120 to rotate smoothly and stably.

[0024] Furthermore, the outer casing 310 is composed of a shell and a screw cap. The screw cap is threaded to the top of the shell, and the tube body of the flexible tube 330 is fixedly inserted through the screw cap. The structural design of the outer casing 310 facilitates the replenishment of fluorescent agent into the insert box 320.

[0025] Example 2: Combination Figure 1 , 5 and Figure 7 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the insert box 320 is provided with a stirring assembly 400. The stirring assembly 400 includes a second motor 410 whose body is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the insert box 320, and a stirring rod 420 disposed inside the insert box 320. The bottom end of the stirring rod 420 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 410. When the micro pump 340 draws fluorescent agent from the insert box 320 through the hose 330, the output shaft of the second motor 410 drives the stirring rod 420 to rotate. The stirring rod 420 stirs the fluorescent agent, avoiding the fluorescent agent from becoming viscous or solidifying, and ensuring that the micro pump 340 can smoothly draw the fluorescent agent.

[0026] Furthermore, the stirring rod 420 and the hose 330 are eccentrically positioned. The stirring rod 420 is made of plastic material. The layout design of the stirring rod 420 allows it to rotate smoothly inside the insert box 320.

[0027] Example 3: Combination Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, in the above embodiment, a support plate 500 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the insert box 320. The support plate 500 is attached to the outside of the carrier 220. A bolt 600 is screwed between the support plate 500 and the carrier 220. The cooperation between the support plate 500 and the bolt 600 can ensure that the insert box 320 and the outer shell 310 can be stably inserted.

[0028] Working principle and usage process of this invention: When this device is put into actual use, the mounting plate 110 is fixedly connected to the building ceiling to provide stable support for the entire device. The motor 140 drives the plate frame 130 to rotate, which in turn drives the bracket 120 and the monitor 150 installed on it to rotate synchronously, thereby expanding the monitoring coverage of the monitor 150 for the fire extinguishing sprinklers in the ceiling area. During fire safety inspection, staff first turn on the water supply pipes of the indoor fire sprinklers. If multiple fire sprinklers spray water normally, it indicates that the fire protection facilities are operating normally. Conversely, if a sprinkler fails to spray water, the system controls motor 140 to drive monitor 150 to rotate and align it with the faulty sprinkler. At this time, monitor 150 uploads the real-time footage to an external backend display terminal (such as an LCD screen). Maintenance personnel can then observe the screen to preliminarily determine the location of the faulty sprinkler. Subsequently, maintenance personnel went to the designated room for on-site handling. During the movement of the maintenance personnel, the monitor 150 continuously provided video support to the robotic arm 210 to ensure that the carrier 220 at the outer end of the robotic arm 210 could be accurately aligned with the faulty nozzle. After reaching the target position, the laser aiming device 260 was activated, projecting the laser beam onto the surface of the faulty nozzle. The monitor 150 determined whether the precision nozzle 240 had been accurately aligned with the target by detecting the position of the laser landing point, thereby avoiding incorrect marking and further preventing the maintenance personnel from doing ineffective work. After confirming alignment, the micro pump 340 starts and draws fluorescent agent from the cartridge 320 through the hose 330. The fluorescent agent is then transported to the inside of the rectangular block 230 through the fluid channel. When the fluid pressure reaches the set value, the micro solenoid valve 250 opens, and the precision nozzle 240 sprays fluorescent agent towards the side of the faulty nozzle. At this time, maintenance personnel can instantly locate the exact position of the faulty nozzle by observing the endpoint of the laser beam and the adhesion point of the fluorescent agent, thus quickly carrying out maintenance work.

[0029] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
