Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire protection equipment technology, and in particular to an explosion-proof fire extinguishing device and an explosion-proof inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] In industries such as petroleum, chemicals, natural gas, and chlor-alkali, companies need to invest significant manpower in inspections to prevent potential production safety risks. However, in practice, problems such as false positives and missed positives that are prone to occur during manual inspections have been a persistent problem for these companies.

[0003] With the emergence of new-generation technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data, replacing manual inspections with robots is gradually becoming a major trend in the digital transformation and high-quality development of high-risk industries. The application of inspection robots in Class II explosive environments such as chemical plants, replacing manual inspections, is of great significance in reducing labor intensity, lowering labor risks, and improving production safety.

[0004] During autonomous movement, the inspection robot can inspect for fire hazards in the chemical plant environment. Based on temperature field information collected by thermal imaging cameras and smoke concentration detected by smoke sensors, it intelligently identifies and judges the results, promptly detecting fires. When a fire is encountered, the fire extinguisher on the inspection robot is activated via an electric telescopic mechanism, allowing the robot to extinguish the fire immediately upon discovery, thus preventing fires from developing.

[0005] However, chemical plants contain flammable and explosive materials such as combustible dust or gases, which may ignite or explode upon contact with sparks or at certain temperatures, causing serious consequences. Electric telescopic mechanisms are electrical products; their operation and operation may generate electrical sparks, potentially igniting the surrounding environment or causing an explosion, posing a safety hazard.

[0042] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention:

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model proposes an explosion-proof fire extinguishing device, including a fire extinguisher 2, a telescopic device 3 and an explosion-proof component 4. The fire extinguisher 2 is mounted on the inspection robot 1, the telescopic device 3 is mounted on the inspection robot 1 and its telescopic part corresponds to the switch position of the fire extinguisher 2, and the explosion-proof component 4 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic device 3.

[0044] The telescopic device 3 can be a telescopic motor, an electric telescopic pole, etc. For ease of installation and stability of the device, a telescopic motor is preferred. The telescopic device 3 is sealed by the explosion-proof component 4, thereby shielding the high temperature or electric sparks generated during the operation of the telescopic device 3 within the explosion-proof component 4.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the explosion-proof component 4 includes an explosion-proof part sleeved on the outside of the telescopic device 3 and a support part for supporting the telescopic device 3. The explosion-proof part includes an upper cover 401, an explosion-proof housing 403, and a lower cover 402. The lower cover 402 is fixedly installed on the support part. The telescopic device 3 is disposed between the upper cover 401 and the lower cover 402, and the telescopic device 3 abuts against the lower cover 402. The telescopic device 3 is fixedly installed on the upper cover 401. The telescopic shaft of the telescopic device 3 passes through the lower cover 402 and abuts against the fire extinguisher 2. The explosion-proof housing 403 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic device 3. The lower side of the explosion-proof housing 403 abuts against the lower cover 402. The upper cover 401 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the explosion-proof housing 403. The side wall of the explosion-proof housing 403 has a cable outlet hole. An end cap 404 is fixedly installed at the cable outlet hole. The end cap 404 has a connection hole communicating with the cable outlet hole. An explosion-proof gland 405 is fixedly installed at the connection hole. The lower cover 402 is stepped, and the explosion-proof housing 403 is configured to cooperate with the stepped lower cover 402.

[0046] The upper cover 401, explosion-proof housing 403, and lower cover 402 seal the telescopic device 3, preventing the electric arc / sparks generated during operation or energization from igniting flammable materials in the environment or causing an explosion. The power and control cables of the telescopic device 3 can be connected externally through the connection holes and cable outlet holes. The explosion-proof gland 405 serves to introduce cables and fix their position, thus achieving a sealing and explosion-proof function. It boasts advantages such as superior explosion-proof performance, reliable and safe structure, simple and convenient installation, and high protection level.

[0047] The lower cover 402 is positioned on the upper side of the fire extinguisher 2, supporting the telescopic device 3. The telescopic device 3 abuts against the lower cover 402, and the electric telescopic shaft of the telescopic device 3 passes through the lower cover 402 and abuts against the nozzle of the fire extinguisher 2. The telescopic device 3 is used to open the fire extinguisher 2. The lower side of the interior of the explosion-proof housing 403 is stepped. The explosion-proof housing 403 is fitted onto the lower cover 402. The combination of the explosion-proof housing 403 and the stepped lower cover 402 improves the sealing effect of the explosion-proof housing 403, further preventing the surrounding environment from being ignited or exploding. At the same time, the upper side of the explosion-proof housing 403 and the upper side of the telescopic device 3 are fixedly installed on the upper cover 401. Through the upper cover 401, the lower cover 402, and the explosion-proof housing 403, the telescopic device 3 can be sealed, shielding the high temperature or electric sparks generated during the operation of the telescopic device 3 within the explosion-proof assembly 4, thereby preventing the surrounding environment from being ignited or exploding.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figures 3-9As shown, the support includes a bracket 406, a valve positioning block 407, a first pressure plate 408 and a second pressure plate 409. The valve positioning block 407 is fitted onto the nozzle of the fire extinguisher 2. The first pressure plate 408 and the second pressure plate 409 are two semicircles with equal radii. The first pressure plate 408 and the second pressure plate 409 are connected end to end to form a complete circle. The first pressure plate 408 and the second pressure plate 409 are both fixedly installed on the lower cover 402, and the first pressure plate 408 and the second pressure plate 409 abut against the valve positioning block 407. The lower side of the bracket 406 is fixedly installed on the fire extinguisher 2, and the explosion-proof shell 403 is fixedly installed on the bracket 406.

A seal 410 is fitted onto the lower side of the valve positioning block 407. The material of the seal 410 can be rubber, plastic, iron, steel, etc., but steel seal 410 is preferred here. Steel seal 410 is stable and can reduce the impact of the environment on the seal 410. The seal 410 can further tighten the connection between the valve positioning block 407 and the fire extinguisher 2.

[0050] The first pressure plate 408 and the second pressure plate 409 are both fixedly installed on the lower side of the lower cover 402, and the first pressure plate 408 and the second pressure plate 409 abut against the side wall of the valve positioning block 407. The first pressure plate 408 and the second pressure plate 409 are connected end to end to form a complete circle. The first pressure plate 408 and the second pressure plate 409 can not only make the connection between the valve positioning block 407 and the fire extinguisher 2 tighter, but also strengthen the support of the lower cover 402 for the telescopic device 3.

[0051] The bracket 406 is L-shaped, with its vertical side mounted on the fire extinguisher 2. The explosion-proof housing 403 is fixedly installed on the horizontal side of the bracket 406. The bracket 406 makes the explosion-proof fire extinguishing device more stable.

[0053] The rotating device 501 can be a rotating motor, a turntable, etc., but is preferably a rotating motor. The explosion-proof housing 504, fitted over the rotating device 501, prevents the high temperatures or electrical sparks generated during operation from being trapped within the explosion-proof component 4, thus preventing the surrounding environment from being ignited or exploding. The rotating device 501 drives the rotating base 502 to move horizontally, increasing the fire extinguishing range and thereby improving the fire extinguishing efficiency of the inspection robot 1.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an explosion-proof inspection robot includes an explosion-proof fire extinguishing device as described above. The number of explosion-proof fire extinguishing devices is greater than 1, preferably two.
