[0023] In the embodiment, valve 43 is installed on powder outlet pipe 42. By installing valve 43 on powder outlet pipe 42, accurate control of dry powder release is realized. When fire does not occur, valve remains closed state, to prevent dry powder from leaking accidentally. Once fire is detected, PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 controls valve to open rapidly, to ensure that dry powder can be accurately and timely sprayed to the inside of electric meter box, improve fire extinguishing efficiency and accuracy.
[0024] Specifically, a fan 31 is installed in the powder spraying pipe 3. The installation of the fan 31 enhances the spraying effect of the dry powder. When the valve 43 is opened, the fan 31 is started to generate a strong airflow to uniformly blow the dry powder into every corner of the electric meter box through the powder spraying pipe 3, ensuring that the fire extinguishing agent can fully cover the fire source and quickly extinguish the fire, while avoiding uneven extinguishing caused by dry powder accumulation.
[0025] Further, a PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 and a battery 13 are installed inside the shell 1. The PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 serves as the control core of the entire fire extinguishing device, realizing intelligent management of temperature monitoring, valve control, fan starting, and operation of the roller blind assembly. The battery 13 provides stable power support for the PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 and the entire system, ensuring that the device can still work independently and complete the fire extinguishing task in the case of external power interruption, improving the reliability and adaptability of the device.
[0026] Further, the shell 1 is provided with openings 11 on both sides, and the roller blind assembly 5 includes a winding wheel 51 and an extending wheel 52. The fireproof curtain 53 is wound around the winding wheel 51, and after passing through the extending wheel 52, it is drawn out from the openings 11. The extending wheel 52 rotates to drive the fireproof curtain 53 to extend, and the winding wheel 51 rotates to drive the fireproof curtain 53 to wind up. This design enables the fireproof curtain 53 to quickly unfold from the openings 11 on both sides of the shell 1 when a fire occurs, forming a physical isolation layer to effectively prevent the spread of fire and smoke. The cooperation of the winding wheel 51 and the extending wheel 52 ensures that the fireproof curtain 53 can be smoothly and quickly unfolded and retracted, improving the response speed and isolation effect of the device.
[0027] Further, the bottom surface of the extending wheel 52 presses on the fireproof curtain 53, and both the winding wheel 51 and the extending wheel 52 are driven to rotate by independent motors. Independent motor drive enables the winding wheel 51 and the extending wheel 52 to work cooperatively, achieving rapid unfolding and retraction of the fireproof curtain 53, improving the stability and reliability of the device.
[0028] Further, the output end of the temperature sensor 2 is electrically connected to the input end of the PLC single-chip microcomputer 12, and the PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 controls the valve 43 and the motor switches of the fan 31, the winding wheel 51, and the extending wheel 52 through a circuit. This design realizes the automation and intelligence of the entire fire extinguishing device. The temperature sensor 2 monitors the temperature inside the electric meter box in real time, and immediately transmits a signal to the PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 once an anomaly is detected. The PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 quickly controls the opening of the valve 43, the starting of the fan 31, and the unfolding of the roller blind assembly 5 according to the preset program, achieving rapid and accurate fire extinguishing operation, greatly improving the response speed and fire extinguishing efficiency of the device.
[0029] Further, the top of the dry powder box 4 is detachably mounted with a box cover 41. The detachable design of the box cover 41 makes the maintenance and replenishment of the dry powder box 4 simple and convenient. When the dry powder is used up or needs to be replaced, the filling or replacement operation can be performed by simply opening the box cover 41, without the need to disassemble the entire device, reducing the maintenance difficulty and cost, and improving the practicability and convenience of the device.
[0030] The outdoor electric meter box micro fire extinguishing device of the utility model in use, first, the device is installed, the temperature sensor 2 continuously monitors the temperature change inside the electric meter box 6. The PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 is in standby state, ready to receive the signal of the temperature sensor 2.
[0031] When the temperature inside the electric meter box 6 abnormally rises to the preset threshold, the temperature sensor 2 converts this signal into an electrical signal and sends it to the PLC single-chip microcomputer 12. After receiving the signal, the PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 immediately judges the fire and confirms the existence of the fire. The PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 controls the valve 43 on the powder outlet pipe 42 to open quickly, and starts the fan 31 in the powder spraying pipe 3. The fan 31 generates a strong airflow, which blows the fire extinguishing dry powder in the dry powder box 4 through the powder outlet pipe 42 and the powder spraying pipe 3 into the electric meter box 6, covers the fire source, and extinguishes the fire. At the same time, the PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 controls the motor of the roller blind assembly 5 to start, driving the winding wheel 51 and the stretching wheel 52 to rotate. The stretching wheel 52 drives the fireproof curtain 53 to rapidly expand from the opening 11 on both sides of the shell 1, forming a physical isolation layer to prevent the fire and smoke from spreading outward.
[0032] During the fire extinguishing process, the temperature sensor 2 continues to monitor the temperature inside the electric meter box 6 to ensure that the fire source is completely extinguished. If dry powder needs to be continuously sprayed, the PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 will keep the valve 43 open and the fan 31 running until the fire source is completely extinguished. When the fire source is extinguished and the temperature inside the electric meter box 6 returns to normal, the PLC single-chip microcomputer 12 controls the valve 43 to close and the fan 31 to stop running, and controls the motor of the roller blind assembly 5 to reverse, winding the fireproof curtain 53 back into the shell 1. The device enters standby state, waiting for the next fire detection. When the fire extinguishing dry powder in the dry powder box 4 is used up or needs to be replaced, the operator can open the box cover 41 to perform the filling or replacement operation, without the need to disassemble the entire device, which is convenient and fast.
