Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fire extinguishing systems, in particular to a fine water mist automatic fire extinguishing system built in a UPS control cabinet. Background Art
[0002] Since the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) can provide stable and uninterrupted power supply to equipment, it is very common in computer rooms. There are a large number of combustibles such as cables and batteries inside the UPS control cabinet, and there are potential hazards such as component aging and wear, circuit short - circuit, and battery over - charging and heating, making it a device that is extremely prone to fire in computer rooms. Once a fire occurs, if not controlled in time, it will quickly spread to the entire computer room, inevitably causing great property losses.
[0003] As a clean and efficient fire - extinguishing medium, fine water mist has been widely used in fields such as subways, energy storage power stations, aerospace, etc. Different from traditional water - based and gas fire - extinguishing media, it has the characteristics of low cost, rapid suppression, less water consumption, and not easily causing electrical short - circuits, and is suitable for extinguishing computer room fires.
[0004] The patent application with the publication number CN103861222A discloses a hybrid early - warning cabinet fire - extinguishing device and its early - warning method, which uses a temperature sensing unit and a smoke detection unit to work together to avoid false alarms caused by single detection and improve the accuracy of fire early - warning. However, it does not involve the selection of fire - extinguishing systems and media. The patent application with the publication number CN110947123A discloses a cabinet fire - extinguishing device that can monitor the working state of the cabinet and automatically start the fire - extinguishing device. The fire - extinguishing device includes a storage device, a pressurizing device, a transmission pipeline, a control valve, and a spraying device. The fire - extinguishing medium in the storage device is carbon dioxide, and the high - pressure fire - extinguishing medium is transported to the pipeline for spraying through the pressurizing device. For the fire of the UPS control cabinet, the problems of this device are as follows: carbon dioxide gas mainly extinguishes fires through the asphyxiation principle and has poor cooling ability. Since the control cabinet is not completely sealed, when the carbon dioxide in the cabinet escapes, the risk of re - ignition is relatively high.
[0005] The patent application with the publication number CN106474643A discloses an in - built automatic control device for cabinet fire extinguishing. The data acquisition unit collects the temperature and gas concentration inside the cabinet and transmits them to the main control unit, which intelligently judges the occurrence of fire and activates the audible and visual alarm, and then releases gas for fire extinguishing. This device also has problems such as weak heat absorption capacity, insufficient efficiency in extinguishing electrical fires, and the need for manual operation by the operator to start fire extinguishing, which is not conducive to the early suppression of fires. CN103550888A discloses a bottle - type gas - driven hybrid fire - extinguishing device that uses gas to drive the mixing and spraying of dry powder and water for fire extinguishing. The operation is simple and fast, and the fire - extinguishing time is short. However, in this solution, the gas storage tank, dry - powder storage tank, and water storage tank are arranged separately and not integrated into the control cabinet. This system occupies a large space, has great limitations in the installation application scenario, and is not suitable for UPS control cabinets. CN213941927U discloses an electrical automation control cabinet fire extinguisher. This solution uses ammonium phosphate dry - powder fire extinguishing agent and realizes the adjustment of the nozzle angle through the rotation of the connector and the connection seat. This fire - extinguishing system does not integrate a fire detection module and cannot obtain the internal operation status of the control cabinet in time. Once a fire occurs inside, the best suppression period will be missed. In addition, for the fire of the UPS control cabinet, the dry - powder fire extinguishing agent will cause damage to electrical components.
[0006] In summary, the existing cabinet fire - extinguishing systems have problems such as insufficient automation, inability to quickly and effectively cool and suppress electrical fires, and damage to electrical components. To avoid the development and spread of fires in UPS control cabinets, reduce accident losses, and ensure their safety, it is necessary to develop a fine - water - mist automatic fire - extinguishing system built into the UPS control cabinet.
