Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted fire fighting, and belongs to an automatic fire fighting system applied to vehicle-mounted flammable and explosive refrigerants. Background Art
[0002] Existing technology solutions for vehicle refrigerants mostly use R134a, with a smaller number using R1234YF and R410A. Compared to these refrigerants, R290 has a global warming potential (GWP) of 3 and an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of 0. It neither harms the ozone layer nor contributes to the greenhouse effect, making it a completely environmentally friendly refrigerant. With increasingly stringent global environmental regulations, the promotion of R290 is imperative.
[0003] However, R290 refrigerant is a flammable and explosive gas, posing a certain explosion hazard. Therefore, the refrigerant usage should be reduced to minimize the risk. Generally, the refrigerant weight in a system is controlled to less than 150g to reduce the risk of use. Although the total refrigerant capacity is reduced, R290 is still a flammable and explosive gas. Leakage in vehicles still poses a risk of explosion and fire, making its use less safe.

[0021] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility more clearly understood, the utility is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining this utility and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility. In addition, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessary confusion in the concepts of this utility.
[0022] See Figure 1 、 4 The present invention provides an automatic fire-fighting system for vehicle-mounted flammable and explosive refrigerants, including an expansion kettle 1, an air-conditioning system 2, and an external controller 7. The expansion kettle 1 is arranged above the air-conditioning system 2. A fire-fighting spray unit 3 is provided at the lower part of the expansion kettle 1. A connecting pipe 4 for connecting to the vehicle's own water pump is connected to the upper part of the expansion kettle 1. The fire-fighting spray unit 3 includes a spraying mechanism 5 and a rotating drive mechanism 6.
[0023] See Figure 2 Specifically, the spraying mechanism 5 includes a micro pump 51, an adapter ring 53, a rotating connecting pipe 54 and a cavity placement plate 55. The micro pump 51 is arranged inside the expansion kettle 1. The bottom of the expansion kettle 1 is connected to a central control pipe 52. The upper end of the central control pipe 52 is connected to the output end of the micro pump 51. The central control pipe 52 is fixedly connected to the expansion kettle 1. The adapter ring 53 is movably connected to the bottom end of the central control pipe 52. The upper end of the rotating connecting pipe 54 is movably connected to the adapter ring 53. The lower end of the rotating connecting pipe 54 is connected to the connecting port of the cavity placement plate 55.
[0024] See Figure 4Specifically, the micro pump 51 is electrically connected to the external controller 7. A temperature sensor 21 is arranged on the air-conditioning system 2. The temperature sensor 21 is electrically connected to the external controller 7. Specifically, the external controller 7 is electrically connected to the micro pump 51 and the temperature sensor 21 through a hard wire or a communication signal line to monitor the temperature of the air-conditioning system. When a fire occurs, a high temperature is detected and a high temperature signal is transmitted to the external controller 7. The controller triggers the fire fighting mode, and the external controller 7 sends a start signal to the vehicle motor water pump and the micro pump 51, and at the same time, the fire fighting water is pumped to perform fire fighting operations to achieve the maximum fire fighting purpose.
[0025] See Figure 2 、 Figure 3 Specifically, a plurality of mounting holes 551 are provided on the cavity placement plate 55, and a sprinkler head 552 is connected to each of the mounting holes 551. The sprinkler head 552 is used to increase the pressure at the end of the fire water outlet, so that the fire water spraying range is wider and the fire fighting capability is improved.
[0026] See Figure 3 Specifically, the rotation drive mechanism 6 includes a drive motor 61, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the expansion kettle 1 through a mounting base 62. The output end of the drive motor 61 is connected to a transmission shaft 63 through a coupling. A first bevel gear 64 is connected to the transmission shaft 63 through a shaft hole. A second bevel gear 65 is connected to the rotating connecting tube 54 through a shaft hole. The first bevel gear 64 and the second bevel gear 65 are connected through gear meshing.
[0027] See Figure 4 Specifically, the drive motor 61 is electrically connected to the external controller 7. The drive motor 61 is also electrically connected to the external controller 7 through a hard wire or a communication signal line. After the external controller 7 receives the high temperature signal detected by the temperature sensor 21, the drive motor 61 is synchronously started. The drive motor 61 is used to provide power to drive the transmission shaft 63 to rotate, thereby driving the first bevel gear 64 connected to the transmission shaft 63 to rotate, and further driving the second bevel gear 65 to rotate through gear meshing, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating connecting pipe 54, and the cavity placement disk 55 rotates synchronously, realizing rotary spraying, increasing the spraying coverage, and improving the fire extinguishing capability.
[0028] See Figure 3 Specifically, a fastening connection seat 11 is connected to the outside of the expansion kettle 1.
[0029] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when a fire occurs, the temperature sensor 21 detects high temperature in the area and transmits the high temperature signal to the external controller 7. The external controller 7 synchronously starts the micro pump 51 and the drive motor 61. The micro pump 51 pumps the fire water stored in the expansion kettle 1 into the central control pipe 52 in time, and quickly flows to the sprinkler head 552 through the rotating connecting pipe 54 and the cavity placement plate 55 in turn. The water outlet end is pressurized through the sprinkler head 552, so that the fire water is quickly sprayed out for fire fighting and fire extinguishing. Synchronously, the drive motor 61 provides power to drive the transmission shaft 63 to rotate, thereby driving the first bevel gear 64 connected to the transmission shaft 63 to rotate, and further driving the second bevel gear 65 to rotate through gear meshing, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating connecting pipe 54, and the cavity placement plate 55 rotates synchronously to realize rotary spraying, increase the spray coverage, and further improve the fire fighting and fire extinguishing capabilities.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
