The purposes to be achieved by smoke exhaust and air supply in fire accidents are to maintain a tolerable environment within a certain period of time, which must be conducive to the escape and refuge of personnel. The magnitude of the wind speed should minimize the heat load transmitted to the human body and avoid the diffusion of smoke on the evacuation route due to the generation of turbulence and eddy currents caused by air make-up, so as to create conditions for personnel refuge to the greatest extent. Avoid and minimize the diffusion of high-temperature gas in the fire field, and discharge the hot smoke generated during the fire process as soon as possible through effective smoke exhaust facilities, prevent the hot air flow from igniting the items around the fire field and expanding the fire field, and facilitate the firefighters to approach the fire field and carry out fire-fighting work.

Obviously, the attached drawings in the following description are only the embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other attached drawings can also be obtained according to the provided attached drawings.

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the attached drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] This embodiment provides an intelligent air valve monitoring device for high-altitude railway tunnels, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, including: an intelligent air valve monitoring device 2, a displacement sensor 3, a collapse sensor 4, and a detection target;

[0029] The intelligent air valve monitoring device 2 is installed near the air valve.

[0030] The detection targets are divided into a displacement detection target 5 and a collapse detection target 6, and are made of a 10 cm * 15 cm white flame-retardant PVC plastic board, which is used to improve the detection accuracy of the sensor. The detection targets are all installed on the air valve body and are installed opposite to the sensors. The displacement sensor 3 is installed on the side of the air valve and is installed opposite to the displacement detection target 5. The collapse sensor 4 is installed on the side of the air valve and is installed opposite to the collapse detection target 6.

[0031] After the air valve is installed and fixed, the displacement sensor 3 calculates by receiving the ultrasonic wave reflected by the detection target, and measures the distance between the air valve and the wall 7 as displacement data. During the real-time monitoring process, if the position of the air valve changes slowly, the displacement data will also change. The information acquisition module transmits the displacement data information measured by the displacement sensor 3 to the processor module. The processor compares the change value with the initial value, forms a trend record, and achieves early detection and early warning of the air valve displacement, and processes the air valve failure in advance.

[0032] The collapse sensor 4 irradiates the detection target with a light beam to detect whether an object exists or is out of the effective detection range. After logical judgment, it gives a high level (+24VDC) or a low level (-24VDC), a passive switch quantity continuous signal. Under normal conditions, it outputs a normally open signal. If the position of the air valve changes greatly, or falls off or collapses, the output signal of the collapse sensor 4 becomes a normally closed signal. The signal acquisition module transmits the data to the processor module, and the processor analyzes and processes the collapse data and can transmit it to a third-party device through the communication module.

[0033] As Figure 3 shown, the air valve intelligent monitoring device 2 includes: a processor module, a communication module, a power module and an information acquisition module; the processor module is respectively connected to the communication module, the power module and the information acquisition module; the power module is connected to the communication module and the information acquisition module;

[0034] The information acquisition module is connected to the displacement sensor 3 and the collapse sensor 4;

[0035] The detection target includes: a displacement detection target 5 and a collapse detection target 6; the displacement sensor 3 and the collapse sensor 4 are arranged on the side of the air valve and are relatively installed with the displacement detection target 5 and the collapse detection target 6 respectively.

[0036] The following makes further detailed descriptions for each of the above structures:

[0037] The processor module uses a 32-bit MCU (ESP32) to process and analyze the collected air valve displacement and collapse data.

[0038] The communication module adopts the RJ45 form for communication with third-party devices and supports MQTT, FTP and Modbus TCP communication protocols.

[0039] The power module supplies power to the processor module, the communication module and the signal acquisition module, and supports DC20.4~26.4V and AC187~253V power input.

[0040] The information acquisition module includes: an AD conversion module and a digital quantity acquisition module; the AD conversion module uses a 24-bit (AD7606) to convert analog signals into digital signals and acquire the displacement data information of the air valve; the digital quantity acquisition module is used to acquire the collapse data.

[0041] The displacement sensor 3 uses an ultrasonic type sensor (12GM55) to measure the distance data information between the air valve and the wall 7. The ultrasonic sensor emits ultrasonic signals in the direction of the displacement detection target 5, and starts timing at the same time when the ultrasonic wave is emitted. The ultrasonic wave propagates through the air and will be immediately reflected and propagated back when it encounters the displacement detection target 5 on the way. The ultrasonic sensor stops timing when it receives the return wave. The propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave in the air is 340 m / s. By recording the time t with the timer, the distance length (s) from the emission point to the obstacle can be calculated, that is: s = 340t. The information output interface of the displacement sensor 3 adopts a 4-20 mA current mode and is transmitted to the processor module through the information acquisition module. The processor module analyzes and discriminates the change of the displacement data, and plays a role in early detection and early warning of the air valve displacement phenomenon.

[0042] The collapse sensor 4 adopts a diffuse reflection photoelectric switch form (CDD-11N). During use, the light source component of the diffuse reflection photoelectric switch sensor emits light signals towards the collapse detection target 6. The light signals are immediately reflected and propagated back when they encounter the collapse detection target 6. The photosensitive element of the photoelectric switch can receive the reflected light signals of the collapse detection target 6, and judges whether the collapse detection target 6 is within the detection range according to the strength change of the reflected light signals. The signal output of the collapse sensor 4 adopts a digital quantity signal and is transmitted to the processor module through the information acquisition module. The processor module identifies and judges the collapse signal and gives a real-time alarm for potential hazards such as the air valve falling off and collapsing.

[0043] The air valve intelligent monitoring device in this embodiment monitors the displacement or collapse state of the air valve to meet the requirements of intelligent, information-based and full-time monitoring of the air valve state. It plays a role in early warning and real-time alarm for potential hazards such as the possible displacement or collapse of the air valve in the tunnel, so as to achieve the purpose of improving driving safety. The utility model adopts industrial-grade accessories, is easy to install, and operates stably and reliably, meeting the specification requirements for air valve monitoring in the tunnel. It has a significant effect on improving the operation and maintenance mode and enhancing the operation safety of the air valve, and is a highly efficient device that successfully solves the problem of air valve monitoring.

The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
