Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a fire-fighting device, and more specifically, to a rail-mounted fire-fighting device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, as the service life of new energy vehicles reaches its end, the power batteries are gradually entering their replacement period. This brings with it the problem of disposing of a large number of used power batteries. Energy storage is currently the most common and theoretically the preferred option for consuming used power batteries. However, in practical use, a very important and crucial issue that must be addressed is how to deal with the explosive combustion of used power batteries.
[0003] When power batteries are used for energy storage, they are typically arranged vertically on storage shelves to maximize space utilization. However, existing conventional warehouse fire protection systems all use overhead sprinklers, which are not very effective at extinguishing fires involving power batteries placed on storage shelves. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a fire protection system specifically designed for fires involving power batteries stored on storage shelves. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a compact track-mounted fire extinguisher that can effectively and quickly extinguish fires located inside storage shelves.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a rail-mounted fire-fighting device includes a guide rail, a self-propelled base connected to the guide rail, a pan-tilt unit connected to the self-propelled base via a vertical telescopic rod, and a thermal imager and a camera mounted on the pan-tilt unit; the thermal imager and the camera are connected to a controller.
[0006] A horizontal telescopic rod is connected to the gimbal, and a water spray unit is connected to the telescopic rod. The water spray unit is connected to an external water source through a water pipe. The water pipe is stored in a storage structure and extends and retracts adaptively as the self-propelled base moves.
[0007] In the aforementioned rail-mounted fire-fighting device, the guide rail is a hoisting structure located above storage shelves or goods inside the warehouse.
[0008] In the aforementioned rail-mounted fire-fighting device, the controller is mounted on a pan-tilt platform, and the wiring between the controller and the external unit is stored in a storage structure and adaptively extends and retracts as the self-propelled base moves.
[0009] In the aforementioned track-mounted fire-fighting device, the sprinkler unit consists of atomizing nozzles and spray heads mounted on a horizontal telescopic rod; the atomizing nozzles and spray heads are connected to an external water source pipeline via water pipes.
[0010] In the aforementioned track-mounted fire-fighting device, the water pipe consists of a first water pipe connected to an atomizing nozzle and a second water pipe connected to a spray nozzle, and a booster pump is installed on the first water pipe.
[0011] In the aforementioned track-mounted fire-fighting device, the storage structure consists of several sliders slidably mounted on a guide rail, connecting rods corresponding to each slider, and fixed frames fixed to the free ends of each connecting rod; the water pipe is connected to each fixed frame.
[0012] This invention, employing the aforementioned structure, uses a thermal imager and camera to locate the fire or heat source. Then, a self-propelled base, pan-tilt unit, vertical telescopic rod, and horizontal telescopic rod work together to quickly deliver the water spray unit to the predetermined position above the fire or heat source, rapidly extinguishing or cooling it. It boasts advantages such as fast response time and excellent fire extinguishing and cooling effects. Attached Figure Description

Water spray unit; 9a. Atomizing nozzle; 9b. Water spray head; 10. First water pipe; 11. Second water pipe. Detailed Implementation
[0017] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a track-mounted fire-fighting device, including a guide rail 1, a self-propelled base 2 connected to the guide rail 1, a pan-tilt unit 4 connected to the self-propelled base 2 via a vertical telescopic rod 3, and a thermal imager 5 and a camera 6 mounted on the pan-tilt unit 4; the thermal imager 5 and the camera 6 are connected to a controller 7. The thermal imager and camera can adopt various existing specifications available on the market, depending on the specific circumstances.
[0018] A horizontal telescopic rod 8 is connected to the gimbal 4, and a water spray unit 9 is connected to the horizontal telescopic rod 8. The water spray unit 9 is connected to an external water source pipeline through a water pipe. The water pipe is stored in a storage structure and extends and retracts adaptively as the self-propelled base 2 moves.
[0019] By using a thermal imager and camera to locate the fire or heat source, and then using a self-propelled base, pan-tilt head, vertical telescopic rod and horizontal telescopic rod to quickly deliver the water spray unit to the predetermined position, that is, above the fire or heat source, and quickly extinguish or cool the fire or heat source.
[0020] In this embodiment, the guide rail 1 is a hoisting structure located above storage shelves or goods within the warehouse. The specific hoisting structure can employ conventional hoisting rails, which are existing technologies and not the focus of this invention; therefore, they will not be elaborated upon here. Of course, depending on the specific circumstances, the guide rail can also be installed on the ground, a method readily apparent to those skilled in the art. When using ground installation, the piping must be modified accordingly to be a retractable or coiled structure suitable for the ground surface. This is also readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
[0021] In this embodiment, the controller 7 is mounted on the gimbal 4, which facilitates connection between the controller and various devices. In this embodiment, the controller consists of an electrical control box, a control board housed within it, and corresponding wiring terminals. The specific connections are common knowledge in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0022] The wiring between the controller 7 and the external unit is stored in a retractable structure and extends adaptively as the self-propelled base 2 moves. Of course, depending on specific needs, the controller can also be fixedly installed in other locations, which is an equivalent alternative readily conceived by those skilled in the art.
[0023] Preferably, the water spray unit 9 consists of an atomizing nozzle 9a and a water spray head 9b mounted on the transverse telescopic rod 8; the atomizing nozzle 9a and the water spray head 9b are connected to an external water source pipeline via water pipes. The atomizing nozzle is used to spray water mist, forming a water mist zone around the fire source or heat source, which can both cool the area and settle dust and other particles emitted during combustion, preventing pollution of the surrounding environment. The water spray head is used to directly pour a large amount of water onto the fire source or heat source to achieve the purpose of rapid fire extinguishing or cooling.
[0024] More preferably, the water pipe consists of a first water pipe 10 connected to the atomizing nozzle 9a and a second water pipe 11 connected to the spray head 9b, with a booster pump installed on the first water pipe 10. Separating the pipes for the atomizing nozzle and the spray head allows for independent control of the two water circuits, enabling simultaneous or separate use, thus making the application more flexible and convenient.
[0025] Preferably, in this embodiment, the storage structure consists of several sliders slidably disposed on the guide rail 1, connecting rods correspondingly connected to each slider, and fixed frames fixed to the free ends of each connecting rod; the water pipe is connected to each fixed frame.
[0026] Of course, when using ground-paved guide rails, the preferred storage structure is a roll-up structure to roll up all pipes and lines. These are equivalent alternatives that are easy for those skilled in the art to think of.
[0027] In use, the self-propelled base is positioned at one end of the guide rail, ensuring a panoramic view of the designated area. When the imager and / or camera detects a heat source or fire source, it sends a feedback signal to the controller. The controller then directs the self-propelled base to move to the heat source or fire source. Through the coordination of the vertical and horizontal telescopic rods, the controller executes preset commands to send the water spray unit to the designated position for water spraying and misting, based on the location of the heat source or fire source.
[0028] The above-described embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to facilitate the illustration of the present utility model. They are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art who makes partial modifications or alterations to the technical content disclosed in the present utility model without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present utility model.
