Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fire-fighting fans, in particular to a control device for an energy-storage fire-fighting fan. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of emerging new energy sources and the rapid development of source-grid-load energy storage, active smoke exhaust and ventilation systems are crucial for the safe operation of energy storage systems in hazardous environments such as energy storage battery warehouses, where flammable and explosive gases are present. Many energy storage power stations built in recent years lack fire smoke exhaust and ventilation equipment. According to current fire protection regulations and other documents, both existing and newly built energy storage power stations are required to be equipped with active fire smoke exhaust and ventilation equipment. Energy storage devices, especially large energy storage battery warehouses, may generate flammable and explosive gases during operation. The accumulation of these gases poses a serious threat to the safe operation of energy storage systems. To ensure the safety of energy storage devices, fire smoke exhaust systems have become an indispensable component.

[0003] The fire smoke exhaust system for an energy storage device primarily consists of sensors, a controller, a smoke exhaust fan, and exhaust ducting. The sensors monitor the gas concentration and temperature within the energy storage device in real time and immediately send a signal to the controller if an anomaly is detected. Upon receiving the signal, the controller quickly activates the smoke exhaust fan, which then expel harmful gases from the energy storage device through the exhaust ducting. Furthermore, the system may include auxiliary equipment such as fire dampers and exhaust vents to ensure a smooth smoke exhaust process.

[0004] Existing firefighting smoke exhaust systems for energy storage devices have significant flaws during firefighting. When a fire breaks out in the energy storage compartment, the firefighting system activates and releases extinguishing medium to immerse the fire, but the smoke exhaust system fails to automatically shut down. This causes the extinguishing medium to not only immerse the storage compartment but also leak out through the remaining smoke exhaust fans and louvers. This leakage not only reduces the effective utilization of the extinguishing medium but can also cause the fire to spread, as the leaking extinguishing medium cannot completely cover the fire source. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the existing technical solutions, the utility model provides an energy storage fire fighting fan control device, which can effectively solve the technical problem that the smoke exhaust fan and shutters cannot be automatically closed when a fire occurs.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0007] A storage energy fire-fighting fan control device includes a main input switch, a fire-fighting fan, fan louvers and a switching power supply. The switching power supply and the fire-fighting fan are both connected in series with the main input switch, the switching power supply and the fire-fighting fan are connected in parallel, and the fan louvers are connected in series with the switching power supply. The device also includes a fire-fighting input and output module and a manual-automatic control circuit. The fire-fighting input and output module is connected in series with a louver fan stop relay. The manual-automatic control circuit is connected in series with the switching power supply. The main input switch is electrically connected to the fire-fighting fan through an AC contactor. The manual-automatic control circuit includes a manual-automatic dual-mode button, a gas detection switch, a fan start relay and a louver start relay. The manual-automatic dual-mode button, the gas detection switch and the fan start relay are connected in series in sequence. The louver start relay is connected in parallel with the fan start relay. The contacts in the louver start relay, the fan start relay and the AC contactor are all normally open contacts. The louver fan stop relay can control the opening and closing states of the fan start relay and the louver start relay.

[0008] Furthermore, the gas detection switch is connected in parallel with a manual start-stop button, and the manual start-stop button and the gas detection switch are respectively connected in series with a manual-automatic dual-mode button, and the two manual-automatic dual-mode buttons operate synchronously.

[0009] Furthermore, the contacts in the shutter fan stop relay are normally closed contacts. When the fire input and output module receives the signal, it controls the contacts of the shutter fan stop relay to be disconnected.

[0010] Furthermore, the fan louvers include exhaust louvers and suction louvers, the exhaust louvers and the suction louvers are connected in parallel with each other, and relays are connected in series between the exhaust louvers and the suction louvers and the switching power supply.

[0011] Furthermore, a power indicator light is connected in series between the main input switch and the switching power supply.

[0012] Furthermore, the power indicator light is connected in parallel with an operation indicator light.

[0013] Furthermore, it includes an explosion-proof box, which is provided with a control chamber and a wiring chamber, and a wire hole is provided between the control chamber and the wiring chamber. The switching power supply, the louver fan stop relay, the louver start relay, the fan start relay and the AC contactor are all arranged in the control chamber, and the wiring chamber is provided with wiring terminals and wire outlet holes. The wiring harness in the control chamber passes through the wire hole and is connected to the wiring terminal, and the wiring harness of the wiring terminal extends to the outside of the explosion-proof box through the wire outlet hole.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: a fire input and output module and a manual and automatic control circuit are provided. During normal operation, the louver fan stop relay is energized, the fan start relay and the louver start relay are both in a closed state, and the fire fan and the fan louver are started. When the fire protection input and output module receives a fire signal, the louver fan stop relay coil loses power, causing the fan start relay and the louver start relay to lose power and restore to the disconnected state, causing the fire fan and the fan louver to stop running and recover. The fire fan and the fan louver can automatically stop working, effectively preventing the fire extinguishing medium from being discharged by the fire fan during fire extinguishing, thereby ensuring the fire extinguishing effect.

The contacts in the shutter start relay 13, the fan start relay 12 and the AC contactor 15 are all normally open contacts, and the contacts in the shutter fan stop relay 6 are normally open contacts. When the fire input and output module 5 receives the signal, it controls the contact of the shutter fan stop relay 6 to close. The shutter fan stop relay 6 can control the opening and closing states of the fan start relay 12 and the shutter start relay 13.

[0022] The gas detection switch 11 is connected in parallel with a manual start / stop button 14, and the manual start / stop button 14 and the gas detection switch 11 are respectively connected in series with a manual-automatic dual-mode button 10, and the two manual-automatic dual-mode buttons 10 operate synchronously. The fan louvers 3 include exhaust louvers and suction louvers, and the exhaust louvers and suction louvers are connected in parallel with each other, and relays are connected in series between the exhaust louvers and the suction louvers and the switching power supply 4.
