Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fire extinguisher auxiliary devices, and in particular to a fire extinguisher auxiliary device for a carport. Background Technology

[0002] Carport fire extinguishers are fire-fighting devices used inside carports to prevent potential fires involving vehicles or other equipment. As carports serve as parking areas, they present risks such as battery leaks, aging electrical circuits, and the improper storage of flammable materials; therefore, equipping them with suitable fire extinguishers is crucial. Current carport fire extinguishers are installed on the inner wall of the roof. When a fire occurs, smoke or temperature sensors detect the fire signal, triggering the extinguisher's activation via a controller.

[0003] Existing fire extinguishers for carports still have certain shortcomings in use. Because the installation height of the fire extinguisher is fixed, the spray distance is also fixed. Therefore, the fire extinguisher cannot be installed too high; if it is too high, it will affect the fire extinguishing effect; if it is installed too low, it will interfere with the use of the carport. Therefore, this application proposes an auxiliary device for carport fire extinguishers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to address the technical problems pointed out in the background art by proposing an auxiliary device for a carport fire extinguisher.

[0005] The technical solution of this application is: a fire extinguisher auxiliary device for a carport, comprising a fire extinguisher and a mounting cylinder connected to its upper end, wherein the mounting cylinder is installed below the top plate through a central connector;

[0006] The bottom end of the top plate is fixedly connected to an inverted U-shaped mounting plate, and a balancing component is installed on the inverted U-shaped mounting plate;

[0007] A connecting rod is connected through the mounting cylinder, and mounting blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod. The balancing component includes a pair of extendable connecting ropes, and the two connecting ropes are fixedly connected to two mounting blocks respectively.

[0008] The inverted U-shaped mounting plate is also provided with a locking mechanism for initial locking of the balancing component and the central connecting component.

[0009] Preferably, the central connector includes a connecting cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inverted U-shaped mounting plate, and a telescopic rod is slidably inserted into the bottom end of the connecting cylinder, with the bottom end of the telescopic rod fixedly connected to the mounting cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the balancing component further includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the inverted U-shaped mounting plate, with two connecting ropes wound around the two ends of the rotating shaft respectively. Both ends of the rotating shaft are covered with protective covers, and the bottom end of the protective cover has a wire hole through which the connecting ropes move.

[0011] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a through groove formed at the bottom end of the inverted U-shaped mounting plate, a transmission plate is slidably inserted into the through groove, a cylinder is installed on the inner wall of the through groove, and the telescopic end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the transmission plate.

[0012] It also includes a smoke sensor and a controller, which is electrically connected to the cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the transmission plate, and a positioning ring is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the rotating shaft, with the support plate initially abutting against the side wall of the positioning ring.

[0014] Preferably, a rod is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the transmission plate, and positioning holes are provided on the side walls of both the connecting cylinder and the telescopic rod. In the initial state, the rod is inserted into the two positioning holes.

[0031] Example

[0032] like Figures 1-4As shown, this application discloses an auxiliary device for a carport fire extinguisher, comprising a fire extinguisher 1 and an mounting cylinder 3 connected to its upper end. The fire extinguisher 1 and the mounting cylinder 3 are detachably connected. The mounting cylinder 3 is mounted below a top plate 7 via a central connecting member 8. An inverted U-shaped mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the top plate 7, and a balancing member 6 is mounted on the inverted U-shaped mounting plate 2. A connecting rod 4 is passed through the mounting cylinder 3, and mounting blocks 5 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod 4. The balancing member 6 includes a pair of extendable connecting ropes 63, and the two connecting ropes 63 are respectively fixedly connected to two mounting blocks 5. The connecting ropes 63 are fireproof ropes made of high-strength synthetic fibers, possessing flame retardancy and fire resistance.

[0033] The inverted U-shaped mounting plate 2 is also provided with a locking mechanism 9 for initially locking the balance component 6 and the central connecting component 8, which ensures the stability of the device installation.

[0034] Specifically, the central connecting member 8 includes a connecting cylinder 81 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inverted U-shaped mounting plate 2. A telescopic rod 82 is slidably inserted into the bottom end of the connecting cylinder 81, and the bottom end of the telescopic rod 82 is fixedly connected to the mounting cylinder 3. A limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 81, and a slider is fixedly connected to the side wall of the telescopic rod 82. The slider is slidably connected in the limiting groove, which guides the telescopic rod 82 when it slides vertically and prevents the telescopic rod 82 from detaching from the connecting cylinder 81.

[0035] Furthermore, the balancing component 6 also includes a rotating shaft 61 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the inverted U-shaped mounting plate 2. Two connecting ropes 63 are respectively wound around both ends of the rotating shaft 61. Protective covers 62 are rotatably mounted on both ends of the rotating shaft 61, and the bottom end of the protective cover 62 has a wire hole through which the connecting rope 63 movably passes. The upper end of the connecting rope 63 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft 61. One end of the rotating shaft 61 passes through the side wall of the inverted U-shaped mounting plate 2 and is fixedly connected to an operating block. The protective cover 62 is connected to the top plate 7.

[0036] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 9 includes a through groove 92 at the bottom of the inverted U-shaped mounting plate 2, a transmission plate 94 slidably inserted into the through groove 92, and a cylinder 93 installed on the inner wall of the through groove 92. The telescopic end of the cylinder 93 is fixedly connected to the transmission plate 94. It also includes a smoke sensor and a controller, which are electrically connected (not shown in the figure). The controller is electrically connected to the cylinder 93. A support plate 95 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the transmission plate 94, and a positioning ring 91 is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the rotating shaft 61. In the initial state, the support plate 95 abuts against the side wall of the positioning ring 91. A rod 96 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the transmission plate 94. Positioning holes 97 are opened on the side walls of both the connecting cylinder 81 and the telescopic rod 82. In the initial state, the rod 96 is inserted into the two positioning holes 97.

[0037] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When a fire occurs, the smoke sensor, upon contact with smoke, sends an electrical signal to the controller. First, the controller activates cylinder 93, which then opens the solenoid valve at the nozzle of fire extinguisher 1, completing the dry powder spray extinguishing process. When cylinder 93 is activated, its telescopic end retracts, causing the transmission plate 94 to move away from the positioning ring 91 and the central connecting member 8, thereby causing the support plate 95 to disengage from the positioning ring 91 and the insertion rod 96 to leave the positioning hole 97. At this time, under the weight of the fire extinguisher 1 itself, it moves rapidly downwards. The telescopic rod 82 slides downwards along the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 81, while the two connecting ropes 63 loosen downwards (when the telescopic rod 82 slides to the bottom of the connecting cylinder 81, the two connecting ropes 63 are completely loosened; the distance the telescopic rod 82 descends matches the length of the loosened connecting ropes 63, thus balancing and distributing the force). This maintains a suitable spray distance between the fire extinguisher 1 and the fire source, improving the utilization rate of the dry powder spray and ensuring the extinguishing effect. The design of the balancing component 6 in this application can improve the balance of the fire extinguisher 1 when it is spraying, so that the fire extinguisher 1 has a stable fire extinguishing state.

[0038] In this embodiment, the auxiliary device can be reused. After the fire extinguisher 1 is used, a new fire extinguisher 1 can be installed at the bottom of the mounting cylinder 3. Alternatively, if the fire extinguisher 1 has not been used for a long time, a new fire extinguisher 1 can be installed. The fire extinguisher 1 and the mounting cylinder 3 are fixedly connected by bolts. Before installing the fire extinguisher 1, the rotating shaft 61 is rotated in the opposite direction to retract the two connecting ropes 63, and at the same time, the telescopic rod 82 is inserted into the connecting cylinder 81.

[0039] The above specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this application. Based on the technical solutions of this application and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are merely explanations of this application and are not limitations on this application.
