If not extinguished and controlled in time, the fire will spread rapidly, not only causing poisoning of the operators in this area, but also highly likely to trigger major accidents such as gas explosion and pulverized coal explosion for the blast furnace filled with carbon monoxide and pulverized coal. The traditional fire extinguishing measure is that the repair personnel first find the fire hose, then assemble the sprinkler head and the fire hose, and then turn on the sprinkler head water pump to extinguish the fire. Such a treatment method cannot extinguish the fire in the first time, missing the opportunity to extinguish the fire. Secondly, it requires the cooperation of multiple repair personnel, which is time-consuming and laborious, and further increases the safety risk of the personnel. Content of the Utility Model

Detailed Embodiment

[0016] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the embodiments of the drawings.

[0017] AsFigure 1 As shown in the figure, a fire sprinkler system for a blast furnace charging belt conveyor in this embodiment includes a fire main pipe that spans across the charging belt conveyor. The fire main pipe is connected to a number of fire branch pipes, and the several fire branch pipes are evenly spaced along the conveying direction of the charging belt conveyor. Each fire branch pipe is provided with 3 sprinkler heads that are evenly spaced, and the spraying directions of the sprinkler heads are respectively towards the charging belt conveyor and have different spraying angles. An electric valve is provided on the fire main pipe, and the electric valve is signal-connected to a PLC controller. An infrared temperature measuring camera is provided on the charging belt conveyor, and the infrared temperature measuring camera is signal-connected to the PLC controller. When the infrared temperature measuring camera monitors that the temperature on the charging belt conveyor exceeds the set temperature, the PLC controller controls the electric valve to open, so that the fire main pipe is conducted, and the sprinkler heads on the sprinkler branch pipes spray water on the charging belt conveyor from multiple angles.

[0018] As Figure 2 shown in the figure, an electrical control box is provided in the belt gallery. The electrical control box is provided with a number of display lights: a fault indicator light, a power indicator light, an open-in-place indicator light, a close-in-place indicator light, an open-valve indicator light, a close-valve indicator light, and a manual-automatic switch indicator light, which are used to display the current state of the electric valve. The electrical control box is also provided with a number of buttons: a manual-automatic switch button, a manual open-valve button, and a manual close-valve button, realizing two control modes of automatic and manual for the electric valve.

[0019] A fire bypass pipe is connected to the fire main pipe, and a bypass manual valve is provided on the fire bypass pipe. When the electric valve fails, the bypass manual valve is manually opened, so that the fire water is diverted to the fire branch pipes through the fire bypass pipe.

[0020] When the operator operates the manual-automatic switching button and the manual-automatic button indicator light is on, the spraying system is in the automatic state. At this time, once a fire breaks out on the feeding belt conveyor, the signal temperature obtained by the infrared temperature measuring camera above will increase. Once the temperature exceeds 200 °C, the PLC controller controls the electric valve to open, and the valve opening indicator light is on, and water spraying for cooling starts. After the electric valve is fully opened, the fully opened indicator light will be on and the valve opening indicator light will go out; when the temperature is lower than 150 °C, the PLC controller controls the electric valve to close, and the valve closing indicator light is on, and the water spraying stops. After the electric valve is fully closed, the fully closed indicator light will be on and the valve closing indicator light will go out. When the manual-automatic button indicator light on the electrical control box is off, the spraying system is in the manual state. At this time, once the operator discovers that the feeding belt conveyor is on fire, the operator can operate the manual valve opening button on the corresponding spraying system electrical control cabinet, and the valve opening indicator light is on, and water spraying for cooling starts. After the electric valve is fully opened, the fully opened indicator light will be on and the valve opening indicator light will go out. After the fire is extinguished, the operator operates the manual valve closing button on the electrical control box, and the valve closing indicator light is on, and the water spraying stops. After the valve is fully closed, the fully closed indicator light will be on and the valve closing indicator light will go out. If the fault indicator light is on, the electric valve is in the fault state at this time. In an emergency, the operator can open the bypass manual valve to make the sprinkler head spray water or stop spraying water. If the power indicator light is on, the key parts such as the switch should be comprehensively checked, and after ensuring safety, the power can be supplied again. In case of an emergency, it is agreed to manually open the bypass manual valve to spray water or stop spraying water.

[0021] This application can extinguish the fire in the first time, and the fire-fighting water can be evenly sprayed on the feeding belt conveyor, avoiding multiple people entering the dangerous site and reducing the safety risks of the operators.

[0022] In addition to the above embodiments, the present utility model also includes other implementation manners. Any technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent substitution shall fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present utility model.
