Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a fire monitoring technology, and specifically designs a fire monitoring system for a power distribution room. Background Art

[0002] Power distribution rooms are essential in many industrial plants. For example, sewage treatment plants require power distribution rooms to power numerous devices and equipment, including blowers, lift pumps, and chlorine dioxide generators. These rooms typically house numerous and complex electrical equipment, often of high value and with poor fire resistance. Most distribution equipment is susceptible to short-circuit fires or fires caused by heat accumulation due to prolonged use. Therefore, fire prevention and control in power distribution rooms remains a top priority for industrial production operations.

[0003] Fire prevention and control work includes inspections and the deployment of firefighting equipment. The factory's existing power distribution room is equipped with fire monitoring technology, which uses online real-time monitoring to detect fire or potential hazards, triggering alarms and prompting firefighters to address them. However, this approach lacks early-stage processing capabilities. By the time firefighters arrive, potential fire hazards may have already developed into fires, and small fires may have grown into larger ones, inevitably leading to increased losses. Therefore, further upgrades to the fire monitoring system are necessary. Utility Model Content

Specifically:

[0022] The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of each distribution cabinet in the distribution room;

[0023] The smoke sensor is used to detect the smoke concentration in the distribution room;

[0027] The driving module is used to control the power distribution control switch to cut off the power supply of the power distribution cabinet according to the driving signal, and at the same time control the fire extinguishing execution module to execute the fire extinguishing operation;

[0028] The communication module is used to send information to the mobile terminal of the fire management personnel and the factory central control platform according to the alarm signal;

[0029] The sound and light alarm is used to make sound and light alarm according to the alarm signal;

[0030] The touch screen is used to display the data collected by the temperature sensor, smoke sensor and image acquisition module, and to input system parameters, such as temperature alarm threshold, smoke concentration alarm threshold, etc.;

[0031] The storage module is used to store input system parameters and relevant data for the system to implement the fire monitoring function.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the power supply module in this example includes a power supply unit, a battery pack, a first step-down unit, a second step-down unit and a third step-down unit. The power supply unit is used to obtain electric energy from the mains and charge the battery pack. The input end of the first step-down unit is connected to the positive pole of the battery pack, the output end of the first step-down unit is connected to the input end of the second step-down unit, and the output end of the second step-down unit is connected to the input end of the third step-down unit.

[0033] The power supply unit utilizes a full-bridge rectifier circuit, with its two input terminals connected to the AC mains power supply, and its two output terminals connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery pack. The full-bridge rectifier circuit converts AC power to DC power for charging the battery pack, which utilizes 24V lithium batteries. The first step-down unit utilizes an LM2576 DC-DC step-down regulator chip to convert the 24V power supply voltage to a 12V output. The LM2576 has a maximum output current of 3A and includes overcurrent, overheating, and short-circuit protection circuits. The second step-down unit utilizes an LM2596 regulator chip to convert the 12V power supply voltage outputted by the first step-down unit to a 5V output.

[0034] In this embodiment, the control module uses an STM32 series single-chip microcontroller, and the temperature and smoke sensors can be commonly used commercially. The image acquisition module uses a camera. The image recognition module uses OpenCV to read camera images and perform image preprocessing, then loads a TensorFlow Lite model for image inference and prediction, and finally sends the most confident label to the control module via the serial port. The communication module uses any communication module capable of long-distance wireless communication. The sound and light alarm uses a strobe light and a buzzer.

[0035] The circuit principle of the driving module is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the circuit comprises a transistor, a first relay, and a second relay. The base of the transistor is connected to the output of the control module, and the emitter or collector of the transistor is connected in series with the coil winding L1 of the first relay and the coil winding L2 of the second relay. The normally closed switch S1 of the first relay is connected to the control circuit of the power distribution control switch, and the normally open switch S2 of the second relay is connected to the control circuit of the fire extinguishing execution module. The relay model is: SRD-03VDC-SL-C. When the control module outputs a high-level drive signal, the transistor turns on, energizing the coil winding L1 of the first relay and the coil winding L2 of the second relay. The normally closed switch S1 of the first relay opens, thereby controlling the power distribution control switch to disconnect the power supply to the distribution cabinet, and the normally closed switch S2 of the second relay closes, thereby controlling the power supply circuit of the fire extinguishing execution module to conduct the fire extinguishing operation.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] The temperature in each distribution cabinet in the distribution room is detected in real time by the temperature sensor, the smoke in the distribution room is detected in real time by the smoke sensor, the image in the distribution room is collected by the image acquisition module and the collected atlas is input into the image recognition module to identify the fire status, the control module determines whether a fire has occurred based on at least two of the data from the temperature sensor, the data detected by the smoke sensor and the recognition result of the image recognition module, and if a fire occurs, an alarm signal is issued immediately, the sound and light alarm is used to notify the fire management personnel on the scene, and the communication module sends the alarm signal to the mobile terminal to notify the remote fire management personnel; at the same time, the control module sends a driving signal to the driving module, the driving module controls the distribution control switch to cut off the power supply of the distribution cabinet, and controls the fire extinguishing execution module to implement the fire extinguishing operation on the scene.
