Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to aviation fire extinguishing equipment and material conveying technical field, concretely is a kind of fire extinguishing bag gas path filling mechanism for aviation fire extinguishing water tank. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an efficient fire-fighting means, aviation fire extinguishing has been widely applied in the global scope in recent years. With the continuous progress of aviation technology, the performance of fire-fighting aircraft and helicopters is continuously improved, and the flight capability, load, endurance time and fire extinguishing efficiency are significantly improved. Modern aviation fire extinguishing will increasingly rely on information technology and big data analysis, through real-time monitoring, weather forecasting and fire simulation, etc. Means, the fire situation can be more accurately evaluated, and a more scientific fire extinguishing plan can be developed. With the global climate change and the frequent occurrence of extreme weather phenomena, the frequency of forest fires and urban fires and other disasters is increasing, and the market demand for efficient and rapid aviation fire extinguishing services is also increasing. With the progress of technology, policy support and increasing market demand, aviation fire extinguishing will play an increasingly important role in fire emergency management.

[0003] In the prior art in the field of aviation fire extinguishing, gas path conveying technology is widely used in powder material conveying and particle transportation fields, and has the advantages of long-distance transportation and strong flexibility. Although it has significant advantages in these applications, it has certain limitations for conveying flexible materials. When the material is a flexible object, it is easy to be stuck, accumulated and other problems due to pipe wall friction and excessive bending angle of hose, which affects the stability of airflow and conveying efficiency.

[0004] The existing fire extinguishing aircraft water tank filling fire extinguishing material such as hydrogel or other fire extinguishing agent mainly relies on manual filling or mechanical filling. Manual filling is low in efficiency and difficult to meet the needs of large-scale and emergency fire extinguishing tasks; mechanical filling can improve efficiency, but the currently used mechanical or pressure filling is mainly in powder and liquid state, which is not suitable for filling flexible fire extinguishing bags. In addition, for irregularly shaped aviation fire extinguishing water tanks, manual filling of fire extinguishing bags cannot normally slide to the bottom of the water tank along the slope, and is blocked in the middle of the water tank, resulting in the final failure to fill. When the existing hose moves in the water tank, the outlet end of the hose is stuck directly below the water tank hatch, or deviates left and right in the slope and finally gets stuck on the water tank wall, which cannot continue to move down or transport the fire extinguishing bag.

[0005] After many long-term operations and practices, we found that the main defects existing in the prior art are as follows:

[0006] 1. Low efficiency and easy to block: the existing manual filling method is low in efficiency, and is easy to be blocked during filling, which is difficult to meet the large-scale and high-efficiency fire extinguishing demand;

[0007] 2. The problem of jamming and accumulation during material conveying: the existing hose conveying technology is prone to jamming and accumulation of fire extinguishing bags when handling flexible fire extinguishing bag bodies due to pipe wall friction and large hose bending angle, resulting in smooth conveying of materials;

[0008] 3. The problem of hose jamming: the hose in the water tank is offset and bent due to the lack of guidance at the outlet end of the hose, and finally jams;

[0009] Therefore, the existing technology still has a large room for improvement in improving filling efficiency, ensuring smooth conveying of materials and smooth movement of the hose. Content of the utility model
