[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel ground-spraying foam nozzle, comprising: a nozzle body 1 and a limiting sleeve 2; the nozzle body 1 is movably fitted inside the limiting sleeve 2, the limiting sleeve 2 is fixedly embedded in the deck, the bottom end of the limiting sleeve 2 is connected to a pipe seat 3, and the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 2 is symmetrically fixed with limiting protrusions 4, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the nozzle body 1; the top of the nozzle body 1 is provided with a boss, and an O-ring seal 5 is fitted on the boss of the nozzle body 1, and a nozzle cover 8 is provided on the boss of the nozzle body 1 through a connecting component.

[0023] The limiting sleeves 2 are evenly distributed and embedded on the deck so that the nozzle body 1 can fully cover the protected area and effectively cool the deck. During fire extinguishing, the pipe seat 3 delivers foam fire extinguishing solvent to the nozzle body 1 and pushes out the nozzle body 1 and nozzle cover 8 so that the nozzle is exposed on the deck. The O-ring seal 5 plays a sealing role. After the fire is extinguished, the nozzle body 1 and nozzle cover 8 automatically fall back under their own gravity without affecting the use of the deck. The limiting protrusion 4 is engaged with the nozzle body 1 to limit the nozzle body 1 and prevent it from falling off.

[0024] The nozzle body 1 has a high-altitude nozzle 6 and a low-altitude nozzle 7 arranged in a ring at equal intervals on the protrusion. The high-altitude nozzle 6 is set at an angle, and the low-altitude nozzle 7 is set vertically upward and facing the nozzle cover 8.

[0025] The nozzle cover 8 has an arc-shaped perimeter. The bottom end of the nozzle cover 8 passes through the limiting protrusion 4 and the top end of the nozzle cover 8 is engaged with the limiting protrusion 4. The top end of the nozzle cover 8 has a threaded groove 9, and the bottom wall of the threaded groove 9 has a circular groove 10.

[0026] During fire extinguishing, the foam extinguishing solvent is sprayed from the high-altitude nozzle 6 on the protrusion of the nozzle body 1 to extinguish the fire in the high-altitude range. The foam extinguishing solvent is sprayed from the low-altitude nozzle 7 on the protrusion of the nozzle body 1 and hits the arc-shaped peripheral wall of the nozzle cover 8 to form a splashing effect, thereby extinguishing the fire in the low-altitude range. The nozzle cover 8 automatically falls back and engages with the limiting protrusion ring 4.

[0027] The nozzle cover 8 is sleeved with the protruding post on the protrusion of the nozzle body 1. The mounting rod 11 is fixedly set on the end wall of the protruding post on the protrusion of the nozzle body 1. The end of the mounting rod 11 is provided with a slot 12, and the bottom wall of the slot 12 is provided with a threaded hole 13.

[0028] The mounting rod 11 is inserted into the nozzle cover 8 and passes through the circular groove 10. A locking block 14 is provided in the locking groove 12. The locking block 14 is locked into the circular groove 10. A screw hole 15 is provided on the locking block 14. A screw 16 is inserted into the screw hole 15 and threadedly connected to the threaded hole 13.

[0029] While the nozzle cover 8 is sleeved with the protruding post on the nozzle body 1, the mounting rod 11 is inserted into the nozzle cover 8. The locking block 14 is locked into the locking groove 12, and the round groove 10 is locked in place. The screw 16 passes through the screw hole 15 and is threaded into the threaded hole 13 to fix the position of the locking block 14, thus fixing the nozzle cover 8 on the nozzle body 1.

[0030] The mounting rod 11 has a slot 17 on its side wall. A slider 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slot 17. A plug block 19 is inserted into the slot 17. A sliding groove 20 is provided on the plug block 19. The slider 18 is movably engaged in the sliding groove 20. The plug block 19 is engaged with the locking block 14. The screw sleeve 21 is threadedly connected in the threaded groove 9. A sleeve frame 22 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the screw sleeve 21. The sleeve frame 22 is inserted into the mounting rod 11 and engaged with the plug block 19.

[0031] After the screw 16 is threaded into the threaded hole 13, the insert 19 moves along the slot 17 to engage with the locking block 14, while limiting the screw 16, thereby preventing the screw 16 from loosening and further ensuring the installation stability of the locking block 14. The top of the screw sleeve 21 has a hexagonal slot to facilitate the control of the screw sleeve 21 threaded into the threaded groove 9, so that after the sleeve frame 22 is inserted into the mounting rod 11, it engages with the insert 19 to fix the position of the insert 19.

[0032] Working principle: After the mounting rod 11 is inserted into the nozzle cover 8, the locking block 14 is engaged in the circular groove 10 and the locking groove 12. The screw 16 is threaded into the threaded hole 13 to fix the position of the locking block 14, thus fixing the nozzle cover 8. The moving insert 19 is engaged with the locking block 14, while the limiting screw 16 is stopped. The mounting sleeve 21 is inserted into the mounting rod 11 and then the limiting insert 19 is stopped, further ensuring the installation stability of the nozzle cover 8. During fire extinguishing, the pipe seat 3 delivers foam fire extinguishing to the nozzle body 1. The solvent pushes out the nozzle body 1 and nozzle cover 8, exposing the nozzle to the deck. The foam extinguishing solvent is sprayed from the high-altitude nozzle 6 on the protrusion of the nozzle body 1 for high-altitude fire extinguishing, and the foam extinguishing solvent is sprayed from the low-altitude nozzle 7 on the protrusion of the nozzle body 1 and impacts the arc-shaped peripheral wall of the nozzle cover 8 for low-altitude fire extinguishing. The automatically lifting nozzle body 1 can cover both high-altitude and low-altitude fire extinguishing, improving the efficiency of fire extinguishing and reducing the risk of danger to firefighters by eliminating the need for firefighters to approach the fire.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
