Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of samplers, in particular to a sampler capable of heating a sampling point in a low-temperature environment. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, smoke detection is a crucial component of fire prevention and firefighting. Traditional smoke sensors fail to function properly in low-temperature environments. Aspirating smoke detectors can detect smoke and sound an alarm in advance, allowing for early detection of fires. This allows ample time to implement emergency measures to ensure life and property safety, while also preventing the spread of fire and minimizing fire damage. Therefore, ensuring the continued reliable operation of aspirating smoke detection systems in low-temperature environments is of paramount importance.

[0003] In low-temperature environments such as cold storage, ice can form in cold storage due to factors such as excessive refrigerant injection, loose doors, frost and defrosting of the evaporator, extended door opening times, which allow large amounts of hot air to enter the cold storage, frequent air conditioning cycles and prolonged cooling times, and cluttered storage that blocks the evaporator, preventing it from fully absorbing air. Condensed ice can clog the sampling pipe network in such environments, leading to blockage of sampling points and even failure of the aspirating fire detection system, posing a fire safety hazard. Physical de-icing is difficult due to factors such as the height at which the sampling pipe network is installed.

These problems will all lead to ice formation in the cold storage, and the sampling pipe network in such an environment will cause the sampling point to be blocked due to the condensed ice, thereby causing the aspirated fire detection system to malfunction or even be paralyzed, posing a fire safety hazard. The problem that physical de-icing is very difficult due to the installation height of the sampling pipe network and other reasons.

In the sampling device, the aspirating smoke fire detector 1 and UPS power supply 2 are fixed to the wall, with the bottom 1.5 meters away from the ground. The power lines and signal lines drawn from the corresponding power supply panel and module box enter the aspirating smoke fire detector and UPS power supply 2 through the reserved holes and are connected to the correct wiring terminals. In the sampling point heating and control circuit, the timing relay 5 is installed in the UPS power box 2. The power line samples the low-power and low-temperature resistant silicone copper wire. The power line drawn from the output end of the UPS power box 2 passes through the timing relay 5 and is laid along the sampling pipeline. A heating resistor is installed at each three-way sampling point 9. The heating resistor 4 with a resistance of 200 ohms, a rated current of 0.1A, and a rated voltage of 24V is selected. There are about 10 sampling holes in each sampling tube. The low-temperature silicone copper wire 3, heating resistor 4, and timing relay 5 form the sampling point heating and control circuit. The low-temperature silicone copper wire 3 is placed in the sampling pipe network, the heating resistor 4 is placed at the three-way sampling point 9, and the timing relay 5 is placed in the UPS power supply box 2.

[0021] The working principle of the present invention is: it solves the problem that the sampling points of the smoke detection sampling network in cold storage and other low-temperature environments are blocked by condensed ice formed in the low-temperature environment, resulting in the inability to perform effective smoke sampling and detection. The condensed ice around the sampling points can be effectively removed by heating the sampling points, thereby achieving a good smoke sampling and detection effect. The sampling point heating circuit is controlled by a timing relay, and the air around the sampling point is heated for a certain period of time to remove the condensed frost and condensed ice that have formed around the sampling point, and can effectively prevent the formation of condensed frost and condensed ice around the sampling point. The sampling network uses low-temperature resistant halogen-free flame retardant and environmentally friendly materials, so that the sampling network can work reliably for a long time in a low-temperature environment. The heating circuit uses low-power low-temperature resistant silicone copper wire to reduce the line power consumption and extend the service life of the line in a low-temperature environment.

The use level is IP66. The aspirating smoke fire detector 1 is adapted to the condensation water and condensation ice that are easily formed in the low-temperature cold storage environment. The use of a grade condensation water separator in the sampling pipe network in a low-temperature and humid environment can effectively remove the impact of condensation water on smoke detection. In the sampling device, the aspirating smoke fire detector 1 and the UPS power supply 2 are fixed to the wall, and the bottom is 1.5 meters away from the ground. The power lines and signal lines drawn from the corresponding power supply panel and module box enter the aspirating smoke fire detector and the UPS power supply 2 through the reserved holes and are connected to the correct wiring terminals. In the sampling point heating and control circuit, the timing relay 5 is installed in the UPS power box 2. The power line sampling low-power and low-temperature resistant silicone copper wire is used. The power line drawn from the output end of the UPS power box 2 passes through the timing relay 5 and is laid along the sampling pipeline. A heating resistor is installed at each three-way sampling point 9. The heating resistor 4 with a resistance of 200 ohms, a rated current of 0.1A, and a rated voltage of 24V is selected. There are about 10 sampling holes in each sampling pipe. The timing relay 5 can be triggered by the set value of the airflow sensor or timed triggering. After triggering, the sampling point is heated. The sampling pipe network is installed in a standardized fixed installation according to the on-site sampling method. The sampling pipe network needs to be bonded with special glue. After the purge kit 11, external filter, and condensate separator are installed, an inverted "X" installation method is adopted. Compared with the existing technology that cannot remove the condensed ice or condensed frost around the sampling point, the provided sampling method sets a heating element at the sampling point to heat the air around the sampling point, effectively remove the formed condensed ice and condensed frost, and effectively prevent the formation of condensed ice and condensed frost. Considering that the formation of condensed ice and condensed frost will be a relatively long process, a timing relay is added to control the heating circuit.
