Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic fire extinguishing in mining areas, in particular to an automatic fire extinguishing device for underground mining areas. Background Art

[0002] The environment in coal mines is quite complex. In particular, during the mining process, flammable gases such as methane are released. In addition, there are a large number of coal dust particles underground, which can easily combine with flammable gases to form explosive mixtures. These mixtures may cause explosions and fires due to factors such as static electricity, friction, and short circuits, thus posing a serious threat to personnel and coal mining safety.

[0003] In order to reduce the potential losses caused by fire, fire extinguishing equipment in coal mines must have multiple functional characteristics, including multi-directional detection, sensitive response, high reliability and comprehensive protection. However, traditional regional fire extinguishing equipment in coal mines has certain limitations in design and function. They usually rely only on temperature sensors or smoke sensors for fire detection, and lack advanced detection equipment such as flame detectors and infrared thermal imagers. This single detection method may lead to missing the best time to extinguish the fire in the early stage of the fire because the temperature has not risen significantly or the smoke concentration is low, thus causing the fire to spread rapidly.

[0004] In addition, traditional underground coal mine area fire extinguishing devices also have shortcomings in terms of control methods. They usually do not have a partition control function, making it impossible for adjacent caverns to be managed uniformly using the same control host. This design not only increases the equipment cost of the fire extinguishing device, but may also reduce the efficiency of fire extinguishing. At the same time, due to the lack of remote linkage function, traditional fire extinguishing devices cannot realize functions such as remote alarm, remote startup and remote feedback. This means that when a fire occurs, personnel may not be able to detect the fire in time and take corresponding treatment measures.

[0005] Finally, traditional underground coal mine fire extinguishing devices usually lack pressure sensors. This means that the system cannot monitor the operating status of the fire extinguishing system and the release of the fire extinguishing agent in real time. Once the fire extinguishing system fails or the release of the fire extinguishing agent is abnormal, the system will not be able to detect and take corresponding countermeasures in time, thereby increasing the risk of fire.

[0006] Therefore, based on the above technical problems, it is necessary for technicians in this field to develop an automatic fire extinguishing device for underground mining areas. Utility Model Content

Cable-type temperature-sensing fire detectors 17 are installed in Zone 1 and Zone 2, and the cable-type temperature-sensing fire detectors 17 are connected to the control host 1. When the ambient temperature reaches the detection temperature of the temperature-sensing cable, the temperature-sensing cable inputs a switch signal to the control host. Flame sensors 10 and infrared thermal imagers 11 are installed in Zone 1 and Zone 2, and are connected to the control host 1. Specifically, the flame sensor 10 is a GHZ5 (A) intrinsically safe flame sensor for mining: the photoelectric detector in the flame sensor converts the received light signal into an electrical signal.When a flame burns, it will generate light of specific wavelengths including visible light, infrared light and ultraviolet light.

[0027] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0028] Automatic Start

[0029] Various sensors installed in the protection area conduct real-time detection of temperature, flame, and smoke values. When a fire occurs at the protection location or there is abnormally high temperature or smoke before the fire occurs, the high temperature, abnormally high temperature, smoke, and light waves generated by the flame act on the detectors (temperature sensor 14, temperature sensor 2 16, smoke sensor 15, infrared thermal imager 11, flame sensor 10) in the protection location. When the action value of any one or any one of the detectors is reached, the sound and light alarm 9 installed in the protection area will send out a sound and light alarm to remind the on-site staff that the temperature, flame, and smoke in the area are abnormal. At this time, the control host 1 sends out an alarm signal (outputs a feedback alarm signal to the upper computer), starts (delay can be set) to start the electric ball valve 1901 installed on the medicine bottle 1906, and starts to release medicine to the area for fire extinguishing or temperature reduction protection. At the same time, the control host starts the feedback signal to the upper computer output device.

[0030] Manual Start

[0031] When the protection area is hot, has flames and smoke, and reaches the set parameter value of any one or any type of detector, the sound and light alarm 9 installed in the protection area will send out a sound and light alarm to remind the on-site staff that the temperature, flame, and smoke in the area are abnormal. When the on-site staff finds an abnormal situation, they can manually press the manual starter 20 to start the electric ball valve 1901 installed on the fire extinguisher bottle group to release the agent to the area for fire extinguishing or temperature reduction protection, and at the same time control the host 1 to start the feedback signal to the upper computer output device.

[0032] Linkage start

[0033] When the temperature in the protection zone is abnormally high, there is flame or smoke, and the set parameter value of any one or any type of detector is reached, the sound and light alarm 9 installed in the protection zone will sound an sound and light alarm, and the control host 1 will send out a warning signal to inform the remote personnel. If the remote personnel finds any abnormal situation through on-site monitoring, they can remotely start the electric ball valve 1901 installed on the bottle valve group 19 to release the agent to the area for fire extinguishing or temperature reduction protection.

[0034] Mechanical emergency start

[0035] When automatic, manual, or linkage start-up cannot start the device to release the agent or other emergency start-up is required to release the agent, the safety of the emergency manual ball valve 1903 should be unplugged, and the emergency manual ball valve 1903 should be opened manually to release the agent to the area.
