Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to fire fighting equipment technical field especially relates to a fire service three -in -one foam generator. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the fire fighting field, oil fire has been a huge challenge, the inflammability and fluidity of oil make the fire spread rapidly, difficult to control;

[0003] The current enough effective response oil fire - snow gun multiple foam generator, snow gun multiple foam generator has amazing foaming capacity, its single foaming multiple is up to 75 times above, this is that traditional fire fighting equipment is incomparable, they can produce abundant foam group in short time, these foams can stay on the surface of fuel for a long time, effectively insulate air, inhibit the spread of flame;

[0004] Compared with the traditional fire water cannon, snow gun multiple foam generator has obvious advantages in extinguishing oil fire, water cannon can reduce the fire rapidly, but for oil fire, its fire extinguishing effect is not remarkable, and snow gun multiple foam generator can quickly form a foam protective layer, insulate air and flame contact, thereby achieving better fire extinguishing effect;

[0005] But the current foam generator releases foam in the way, its foaming multiple and efficiency are low, when applied to high spray fire engine, it cannot meet the demand of large flow and foaming multiple, and cannot effectively control the spraying to the specified area, leading to foam group waste, therefore, we propose a fire service three -in -one foam generator. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0006] The utility model aims at solving the shortcomings in the prior art, the current foam generator releases foam in the way, its foaming multiple and efficiency are low, when applied to high spray fire engine, it cannot meet the demand of large flow and foaming multiple, and cannot effectively control the spraying to the specified area, leading to foam group waste.

[0007] In order to realize the above -mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0008] A fire service three -in -one foam generator, including main channel, the main channel one end along the horizontal line is equipped with the connecting port, the connecting port is three, is installed on each connecting port spiral jet flow ware, the periphery of spiral jet flow ware far away from the connecting port end is installed on the foam barrel, the foam barrel is installed with metal fine screen, is rotationally connected with the supporting arm outside the both side foam barrel, and the supporting arm extends to the foam barrel far from the spiral jet flow ware end, and is installed with the guide cover.

[0009] Furthermore, the main channel has an external interface at the center of the end away from the connection port, which is connected to an external foam concentrate tank. A pressure pump is used to deliver the foam concentrate from the foam concentrate tank to the connection port.

[0010] Furthermore, a support is fixed around the spiral jet ejector, which connects the spiral jet ejector to the foam bucket, so that the outlet of the spiral jet ejector corresponds to the center of the foam bucket.

[0011] Furthermore, the metal fine screen has a double-layer design.

[0012] Furthermore, the port of the support arm foam bucket is horizontal and has a maximum upward rotation angle of 60°.

[0013] Furthermore, a cylinder is installed on the outer side of the outrigger, with the cylinder output end facing upwards. Both the cylinder and the foam tank are installed on the high-pressure water jet fire truck.

[0014] Furthermore, the guide cover is designed with openings at the foam barrel end and the bottom end.

[0015] Furthermore, the foam bucket and guide cover are made of 6061 aluminum alloy.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This utility model addresses the unique characteristics of petrochemical fires, where the coverage area of ​​traditional high-pressure water jet fire truck foam cannons is insufficient for individual work areas. By changing the type of spraying device and the foam generation method, a detachable triple foam cannon is installed on the boom (high-pressure water jet fire truck) to cover storage tank fires with foam. This device has a large flow rate, a wide foam coverage area, and is detachable, thus solving the shortcomings of current traditional high-pressure water jet trucks.

[0018] 1) By increasing the number of cannons, the foam generation method of traditional foam cannons with strong release is changed. The foam raw liquid is mixed and collided with air through a double-layer metal fine screen to stimulate foam fission and increase the foaming effect. This maximizes the foaming ratio and efficiency of the foam, solving the problem that traditional high-pressure spray truck foam cannons cannot meet the requirements of large flow and high foaming ratio.

[0019] 2) A rotatable support arm and guide cover are installed on the outside of the foam tank. The angle of the support arm and the position of the guide cover can be adjusted by extending and retracting the cylinder. The foam can be released directly onto the rescued object at close range under the guidance of the guide cover, or the guide cover can be raised to spray the foam onto the rescued object at a distance. The spray direction and coverage of the foam can be precisely controlled. This design avoids the waste of foam and ensures that the foam can accurately cover the area that needs to be extinguished, thereby improving the fire extinguishing effect.

[0020] In summary, the foam generator is suitable for petrochemical tank fire of multi-overlapping complex type, has the advantages of being detachable, convenient to carry, wide coverage, good foam generation effect and the like. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
