Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of foam fire extinguishing agent performance testing, and relates to a foam spreading and fire extinguishing performance testing device based on underwater image recognition technology. Background Art
[0002] The spreading performance of fire extinguishing foam on the surface of liquid fuel is an important factor affecting the fire extinguishing performance of foam fire extinguishing agents, especially the fire control time. The faster the foam spreading speed, the shorter the foam fire control time, and the more conducive it is to quickly control the development of the fire. The foam spreading performance is closely related to the foam performance, fuel type and fuel temperature. Due to the differences in foam multiples, foam viscosity, etc. of water-forming film-forming, protein and anti-soluble foam fire extinguishing agents, when fighting fires of liquid fuels such as gasoline and alcohol, the spreading speed of different types of foam on the fuel surface, especially the flow trajectory, has obvious differences. At present, existing patent technical documents: CN115060627A, CN116699055A, etc. all observe and record the foam flow trajectory by arranging image acquisition equipment above the foam. Due to the interference of the flame above the fuel, such devices cannot clearly observe and record the flow trajectory and spreading speed of the foam.
[0003] In addition, during the inspection and testing of the fire extinguishing performance of foam fire extinguishing agents, the fire extinguishing time and 25% anti-burning time of the foam fire extinguishing agent are generally tested by visual inspection or radiation heat flux, which has problems such as cumbersome timing and observation errors. In particular, during the observation of the 25% anti-burning time, external environments such as flames and smoke interfere with the accuracy of measuring the ignited fuel area. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to comprehensively solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned existing foam fire extinguishing agent performance test, the utility model provides a foam spreading and fire extinguishing performance test device based on underwater image recognition technology.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a foam spreading and fire extinguishing performance testing device based on underwater image recognition technology, including an oil pan, an image acquisition device, a magnetic fluorescent sticker and an image processing device. The image processing device is electrically connected to the image acquisition device through a network cable. The oil pan includes an oil pan body, a burning tank and support legs. The image acquisition device includes a camera 1 arranged on the top of the oil pan body and an underwater camera device arranged on the inner side of the oil pan body. The underwater camera equipment includes underwater camera 2, underwater camera 3 and underwater camera 4 respectively. The underwater camera 3 is arranged at the center of the oil pan body, and the magnetic fluorescent sticker is arranged at the bottom of the pan wall on both sides of the oil pan body.
[0006] Preferably, the second, third and fourth underwater cameras are fixed at equal intervals on the center line of the bottom of the oil pan body by means of a bolt structure.
[0007] Preferably, the magnetic fluorescent sticker is arranged at the bottom of the oil pan wall below the fuel liquid level in the oil pan body by magnetic attraction.
[0008] Preferably, the magnetic fluorescent stickers are symmetrically distributed with respect to the center line of the underwater camera device.
[0009] Preferably, the anti-burning tank is arranged at the center position inside the oil pan body.
[0010] Preferably, the supporting legs are provided in no less than three groups and are uniformly welded to the bottom of the oil pan body.
[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the utility model uses image acquisition equipment to capture dynamic changes such as foam flow trajectory, foam fire extinguishing behavior and ignited fuel area from two perspectives above and below the foam layer, avoiding the interference of flames on the observation or collection of foam coverage area. It can be used to accurately calculate the foam spreading speed during the fire extinguishing process, and determine the 25% anti-burning time of the foam fire extinguishing agent, thereby improving the accuracy of the test.
[0012] The oil pan holds liquid fuel for fire extinguishing tests. The burn canister is placed in the center of the pan after extinguishing the fire to test the 25% burnout time of the foam fire extinguishing agent. Camera 1 captures the changes in the oil pan's combustion behavior from above the foam layer after fire control to measure the foam extinguishing time. Submersible camera 3 captures the foam flow trajectory from below the foam layer in real time to measure the foam spreading speed. Submersible cameras 2 and 4 observe and record the changes in foam coverage in their respective areas from below the foam layer in real time, preventing camera 3 from being obscured by the burn canister placed in the center of the oil pan. This allows them to measure the changes in the ignited fuel area and thus determine the 25% burnout time of the foam fire extinguishing agent. Magnetic fluorescent stickers are used to distinguish the acquisition ranges of cameras 2 and 4. Camera 2 captures the left half of the line connecting the two magnetic fluorescent stickers, while camera 4 captures the right half of the line connecting the two magnetic fluorescent stickers. Image processing equipment displays the acquired images over time in real time and binarizes the captured images to calculate the foam area. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
