[0024] The following describes the technical solutions of the present invention in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. In describing the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," and "right" and the like, indicating directions or positions, are based on the directions or positions shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are used solely for the convenience and simplicity of describing the present invention.

[0025] Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring device provided by the present invention includes the manual opening and closing valve 2 with a trigger handle and a monitoring unit 3 provided thereon for monitoring the opening state thereof.

[0026] Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the utility model also provides a fire detection pipe fire extinguishing device for monitoring the opening state of a manual opening and closing valve, comprising a pressure vessel for storing a fire extinguishing agent and a fire detection valve 1 installed at its outlet, a manual opening and closing valve 2 with a trigger handle provided at the outlet of the fire detection valve 1, a fire detection pipe provided at the outlet of the manual opening and closing valve 2, and a monitoring unit 3 for monitoring the opening state of the manual opening and closing valve.

[0027] The monitoring unit for monitoring the opening state of the manual opening and closing valve includes a position sensor and a fixing unit for specifically monitoring the opening state of the manual opening and closing valve, and a control unit (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the position sensor; the position sensor is a mechanical micro switch 301.

[0028] The fixing unit includes a mechanical micro switch bracket 302, a U-shaped trigger handle limit bracket 303, a bracket mounting column 304, two transverse fastening bolts 305, two longitudinal fastening bolts 306, a front nut 307 and a rear nut 308; wherein the bracket mounting column 304 has an internal thread at one end and an external thread at the other end.

[0029] The U-shaped lever handle limit bracket 303 is put on the outside of the manual opening and closing valve 2 from bottom to top, and the U-shaped lever handle limit bracket 303 is fixed to the manual opening and closing valve 2 through two horizontal fastening bolts 305, the bracket mounting column 304, and the rear nut 308, and the lever handle of the manual opening and closing valve 2 is clamped through the groove at the upper left end of the U-shaped lever handle limit bracket 303 (i.e. closed state); the left end of the mechanical micro switch bracket 302 is placed on the right top end of the U-shaped lever handle limit bracket 303, and the single hole supported by the bottom end of the right end of the mechanical micro switch bracket 302 passes through one end of the external thread of the bracket mounting column, and the front nut is tightened at its outer end; the mechanical micro switch 301 is fixed to the mechanical micro switch bracket 302 by two longitudinal fixing bolts 306. When the manual opening and closing valve 2 is opened, its lever handle presses the spring sheet of the mechanical micro switch 301 (i.e. open state).

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] When the fire extinguishing device needs to be opened, the handle of the manual opening and closing valve 2 is turned to Figure 3 In the position shown, the trigger handle will press against the spring sheet of the mechanical micro switch 301, so that the contact of the mechanical micro switch is pressed, that is, its switch contact is closed;

[0032] When the fire extinguishing device valve is closed, the handle of the manual opening and closing valve 2 returns to the Figure 4 In the position shown, the spring piece of the mechanical micro switch 301 returns to its initial state, that is, its switch contact is disconnected;

[0033] Even if the handle of the manual opening and closing valve 2 is turned to Figure 3 and Figure 4 At any intermediate position between the positions shown, as long as the trigger handle is not the switch contact of the mechanical micro switch 301 closed, including the switch contact being open, it indicates that the fire extinguishing device is not in the open state, and the control unit indicates that it is in the open state.

[0034] Therefore, as long as the trigger handle of the monitoring manual opening and closing valve 2 is in the open position, the control unit considers that the device is in a normal working state; once the trigger handle of the monitoring manual opening and closing valve 2 is in the non-open position, the control unit considers that the device is in a fault state; in this way, after the fire detection tube fire extinguishing device is installed, if the manual opening and closing valve is forgotten to be opened, the control unit considers that the device is in a fault state, and promptly sends an abnormal device signal to remind personnel to deal with it in time, that is, to open the manual opening and closing valve, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the device; if the manual opening and closing valve is forgotten to be closed when the fire detection tube is repaired and replaced, the maintenance personnel will check that the control unit indicates that the device is in a normal working state, and remind the maintenance personnel to close the manual opening and closing valve, so that the control unit indicates that the device is in a fault state, thereby preventing the fire extinguishing agent from being accidentally sprayed when the fire detection tube is repaired and replaced.

[0035] The mechanical micro switch 301 in the present invention is a normally open contact mechanical micro switch or a normally closed contact mechanical micro switch.

[0036] The trigger handle in the present invention may adopt other manual mechanical structures, such as a circular rotating handle.

[0037] The inventive point of the present utility model is that a monitoring unit for the opening and closing state of the manual opening and closing valve is provided, and the opening / closing state of the manual opening and closing valve is monitored by monitoring its opening state. The mechanical microswitch of the present utility model is not limited to the microswitch based on the mechanical principle of a spring sheet, and can be other types of position sensors, such as an electromagnetic (electromagnetic proximity) position sensor or a microswitch, as long as it can solve the technical problem of the present utility model patent, play the same role, and produce the same effect. In addition, the fixing device for fixing the position sensor to the manual opening and closing valve is not limited to the above-mentioned specific structure, as long as the position sensor can be used to monitor the opening state of the manual opening and closing valve. Here, the claims describe the scope of protection of the present utility model, but any variation scheme that includes the inventive point of the present utility model and does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention falls within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
