[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] (1) This utility model can detect the particle release of all the sub-distribution cabinets below the monitoring sub-distribution pipes by installing a pyrolysis particle fire detector in the first plug-in interface of the monitoring main pipe. A fan is installed to quickly send the air below the air inlet into the pipe. By measuring the particle concentration in real time, the fire monitoring and early warning function is achieved.

[0020] (2) This utility model adopts the cooperation of a drive mechanism and a sealing mechanism. The drive screw is rotated by a forward and reverse motor, which in turn drives the sealing plate to slide in the monitoring sub-pipe. It can adjust the number of air inlets connected to the pipe in real time. By changing the air inlet section on the monitoring sub-pipe, the location of the abnormal power distribution cabinet can be found more specifically. Thus, a minimum number of pyrolysis particle fire detectors can be used to monitor and warn of abnormal locations of power distribution cabinets, further improving the accuracy of monitoring.

[0021] (3) The present invention is also provided with a dust collection trough, which can temporarily store the dust accumulated on the filter screen plate in the pipeline. The bottom plate of the dust collection trough can be disassembled, so that the staff can clean the dust accumulated in it regularly.

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and not for limiting the scope of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides an early warning device for substation fire early warning monitoring, including a main monitoring pipeline 100, which is closed at both ends. Multiple connecting ports 110 are equidistantly arranged on one side of the main monitoring pipeline 100, and each connecting port 110 is fixedly connected to a monitoring branch pipeline 200. An air outlet 120 is provided on the other side of the main monitoring pipeline 100, and a first insertion interface 121 is provided at the top of the air outlet 120. A pyrolysis particle fire detector 300 is fixedly inserted into the first insertion interface 121. A fan 500 is installed at one end of the monitoring branch pipeline 200 near the connecting port 110. Several air inlets 270 are evenly arranged at the bottom of the monitoring branch pipeline 200. The fan 500 can send air below the air inlets 270 into the pipeline, and the air is detected by the pyrolysis particle fire detector 300 after passing through it. Both the main monitoring pipeline 100 and the monitoring branch pipeline 200 are fixedly installed on the indoor ceiling of the substation via brackets 400.

[0031] For example, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a fan mounting groove 220 is provided inside a section of the monitoring sub-pipe 200 near the monitoring main pipe 100. The fan 500 is installed in the fan mounting groove 220. A filter screen mounting groove 230 is provided on the side of the fan mounting groove 220 away from the monitoring main pipe 100. A filter screen plate 600 is installed in the filter screen mounting groove 230.

[0032] Further, refer to Figure 4 As shown, a second insertion interface 210 is provided at the top of a monitoring sub-pipe 200 between the main monitoring pipe 100 and the fan 500. A pyrolysis particle fire detector 300 is also fixedly connected to the second insertion interface 210, so that each monitoring sub-pipe 200 can work independently and can quickly detect which row of distribution cabinets has an excessive particle concentration. When a row of distribution cabinets overheats and causes the particle concentration to increase, it indicates that a fire may occur. At this time, the pyrolysis particle fire detectors 300 on the two closest monitoring sub-pipes 200 above this row of distribution cabinets will detect the abnormality at the same time. Thus, the staff can immediately know which row or rows of distribution cabinets overheated and caused the particle concentration to increase, thereby achieving the function of rapid and accurate monitoring and early warning.

[0033] For example, the top of the monitoring sub-pipe 200 is also provided with a drive mechanism 700 for adjusting the air inlet. The drive mechanism 700 includes a forward and reverse motor 710, which is fixedly installed on the top of the monitoring sub-pipe 200 near the filter screen mounting groove 230. The output shaft of the forward and reverse motor 710 is fixedly connected to a drive screw 720. A sealing mechanism 800 for controlling the air intake quantity of the air inlet 270 is threaded onto the drive screw 720. Two sliding slots 260 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the top of the monitoring sub-pipe 200, and the sliding slots 260 are slidably connected to the sealing mechanism 800.

[0034] Further, refer to Figure 5 As shown, the sealing mechanism includes a sealing plate 810 and a drive plate 820. The side of the sealing plate 810 is in close contact with the inner wall of the monitoring sub-pipe 200 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the monitoring sub-pipe 200. The top of the sealing plate 810 is fixedly connected to the drive plate 820 by two connecting rods 830. The drive plate 820 is located at the top of the monitoring sub-pipe 200 and is threadedly connected to the drive screw 720 by a threaded opening 821. The two connecting rods 830 pass through the corresponding sliding slots 260 and are slidably connected to the sliding slots 260.

[0035] By starting the forward and reverse motor 710 to control the rotation of the drive screw 720, the drive plate 820 is moved on the drive screw 720. Since the connecting rod 830 slides in the sliding groove 260 and connects and fixes the partition plate 810 and the drive plate 820 together, the partition plate 820 can slide in the inner wall of the monitoring sub-pipe 200 under the rotation of the drive screw 720, thereby realizing the control of the air intake quantity of the air inlet 270. Therefore, under the real-time monitoring of the pyrolysis particle fire detector 300, it is possible to find out in time which specific location of the power distribution cabinet is abnormal, further improving the accuracy of monitoring.

[0036] Furthermore, limit plates are provided on the top of both sides of the monitoring sub-pipe 200, with the drive plate 820 located between the two limit plates. Support plates 730 for supporting the drive screw 720 are provided at both ends of the top of the monitoring sub-pipe 200. Bearings 740 are installed on the support plates 730, and both ends of the drive screw 720 are rotatably connected to the corresponding support plates 730 through the bearings 740, allowing the drive screw 720 to move smoothly. The two limit plates that limit the position of the drive plate 820 also improve the operational stability of the drive plate 820.

[0037] Furthermore, the bottom of the monitoring sub-pipe 200 is connected to a dust collection trough 240 on the side of the filter screen mounting groove 230 away from the main monitoring pipe 100. A dust collection trough 900 is installed on the dust collection trough 240. The dust collection trough 900 includes a trough body 910 and a bottom plate 920. The trough body 910 is a rectangular frame fixed to the top of the bottom plate 920 and is inserted into the dust collection trough 240. Mounting ear plates 930 are fixed on both sides of the bottom plate 920 and are connected to the dust collection trough 240 by screws. This structural design allows the dust accumulated on the filter plate 900 to fall into the dust collection trough 900. When cleaning is required, the ear plates 930 can be disassembled, which facilitates timely cleaning of dust. At the same time, the dust collection trough 240 is also conducive to cleaning the filter screen plate 600.

[0038] For example, the bracket 400 includes a support plate 410, a receiving rod 420, and a nut 430. The support plate 410 is located at the bottom of the corresponding pipe, and the receiving rods 420 are vertically arranged at both ends of the support plate 410. One end of the receiving rod 420 connected to the support plate 410 is fixedly connected to the nut 430 by threads. The nut 430 is located at the bottom of the support plate 410, and the end of the receiving rod 420 away from the nut 430 is fixedly connected to the indoor ceiling of the substation.

[0039] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should not be considered that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these utility models. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
