[0023] See also Figure 1 The utility model shows a slow-closing mechanism for a flap-type fire damper, which can solve the airflow disturbance caused by the rapid closing of the flap-type fire damper 100 when it is closed, and can reduce and slow down the natural closing speed of the flap-type fire damper 100 so that it can reach a uniform speed state as much as possible, thereby reducing the airflow disturbance caused to the system, avoiding the opening limit flash of the auxiliary opening check valve downstream of the flap-type fire damper 100, and preventing the system equipment from tripping.

[0024] The utility model comprises a first damper 10, a second damper 20 and an adjusting rope 30, wherein the first damper 10 is provided with a first connecting portion 11 and a second connecting portion 12 at both ends in the length direction, and the second damper 20 is provided with a third connecting portion 21 and a fourth connecting portion 22 at both ends in the length direction.

[0025] The adjustment rope 30 is connected to the first connection part 11, and is used to be hung together with the handle 101 of the flap type fire damper 100; the second connection part 12 is rotatably connected to the third connection part 21, and the fourth connection part 22 is rotatably connected to the wall of the mounting frame 200.

[0026] In some embodiments, the adjustment rope 30 is a steel wire rope, and the length of the adjustment rope 30 can be adjusted by an adjustment buckle, and can be applied to handles 101 of different sizes and structures. It can be understood that by arranging a flexible adjustable steel wire rope at one end of the first connection part 11 of the first damper 10, and the flexible adjustable steel wire rope is connected with the handle 101, the handle 101 can smoothly move in the circular motion of opening and closing the sub-rudder without being affected by the locking of the adjustment rope 30, and the instant disassembly function when the first damper 10 does not need to intervene can be satisfied. Further, the first connection part 11 can be provided with a first pin hole, and the adjustment rope 30 can be connected to the first pin hole, for example, the adjustment rope 30 can be directly connected to the first pin hole, or the first pin hole can be provided with a fastener, and the adjustment rope 30 is connected to the fastener, and the fastener can be a bolt, a screw or a pin.

[0027] In some embodiments, the second connection part 12 is rotatably connected to the third connection part 21 via a pin shaft 40. Preferably, a second pin hole is provided on the second connection part 12, and a third pin hole is provided on the third connection part 21, and the second pin hole and the third pin hole are rotatably connected via the pin shaft 40.

[0028] It can be understood that a pin 40 is used at the connection between the first damper 10 and the second damper 20, and a bionic knee joint structure is used to smoothly realize that when the flap-type fire damper is opened and closed, the first damper 10 and the second damper 20 can be freely rotated at the connection between the two to cooperate with the action of the flap-type fire damper.

[0029] In some embodiments, the slow closing mechanism for the flap-type fire damper further comprises a bracket 50 connected to the wall of the mounting frame 200; the fourth connecting portion 22 is rotatably connected to the bracket 50. The mounting frame 200 is arranged beside the flap-type fire damper 100, and in some embodiments, the mounting frame 200 can also be defined as a rooting bracket. The mounting frame 200 can be a metal frame. The mounting point of the fourth connecting portion 22 is roughly on the side wall of the mounting frame 200 located above the flap-type fire damper 100 and on the same side as the handle 101.

[0030] In some embodiments, the bracket 50 is L-shaped, and includes a fixing plate 51 and a connecting plate 52 vertically connected to the fixing plate 51, and the connecting plate 52 is arranged on the same side as the handle 101. The fixing plate 51 can be detachably connected to the mounting frame 200 by bolts or screws. The bracket 50 is a metal bracket, for example, a stainless steel bracket, an aluminum bracket or an aluminum alloy bracket.

[0031] The fourth connecting portion 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 52 .

[0032] In some embodiments, the fourth connection portion 22 is rotatably connected to the connection plate 52 via a pin 60. For example, a fourth pin hole may be provided on the fourth connection portion 22, and the pin 60 is passed through the fourth pin hole and connected to the connection plate 52. On the basis of a stable installation, the fourth connection portion 22 can be freely rotated at a free angle accompanying the opening and closing of the flap-type fire damper 100.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first damper 10 is a liquid damper.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second damper 20 is a liquid damper.

[0035] The damper can generally alleviate the load caused by the instantaneous violent displacement of the pipe system caused by special working conditions such as earthquakes or other vibrations. The main principle is to use the basic damping orifice plate oil valve of the damper. The damper is a vibration control device that is sensitive to speed. This application mainly uses the sensitivity of the damper to speed.

[0036] In a nuclear power plant, the actuator of the flap-type fire damper 100 on site is designed to operate in a 90° circle from opening to closing. Unlike the linear operation of conventional contact dampers, lateral shearing can easily lead to shear force damage to the damper. Therefore, the present application configures a first damper 10 and a second damper 20 to solve the problem of shear force damage to the damper during non-linear operation.

[0037] When a fire occurs or when it is manually closed, the flap-type fire damper 100 on site is instantly closed by the spring force torque. The design purpose is to achieve a passive closing function. However, the instantaneous closing of the torque force will cause the fire damper structure (butterfly plate design) to instantly generate a large fanning airflow, thereby causing the light-weight auxiliary opening check valve to close due to airflow disturbance. By configuring the flap-type fire damper 100 with the slow closing mechanism for the flap-type fire damper, the circular motion damping limiting function of the actuator of the flap-type fire damper 100 is successfully realized on the basis of satisfying the design principle of not affecting the basic switching function of the flap-type fire damper 100, which reduces the airflow disturbance caused by the valve opening and closing too quickly when the personnel open and close the valve and affect the system operation.

[0038] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the utility model, the above-mentioned technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the utility model should fall within the scope of the claims of the utility model.
