Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Chain bucket conveyors are used to transport bulk materials. Through the linear arrangement of chain buckets inside the machine, the material entering the machine from the tail feed port is transported to the head discharge port. They are widely used in many fields such as power, metallurgy, and chemical industry.
[0003] For materials with high temperatures, low ignition points, or those that emit volatile flammable gases, oxidation reactions can occur with the air inside the conveyor during transport, posing a risk of spontaneous combustion. Therefore, fire-fighting devices must be installed on the chain bucket conveyor. Existing fire-fighting methods for chain bucket conveyors primarily use water spray or carbon dioxide filling. Water spray may fail due to the reaction between the material and water, and there is also a risk of water explosion. Carbon dioxide filling is more effective than water spray, but because carbon dioxide is directly piped into the equipment, the high-pressure, high-speed airflow can impact the equipment and materials, causing deformation and damage, and material splashing and scattering. Furthermore, it can disturb the air inside the equipment, resulting in incomplete air removal and affecting the fire-fighting effect.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to study a fire-fighting device for chain bucket conveyors to meet the requirements of safe material transportation. Utility Model Content
