[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a main water supply pipe 1, whose water source is either fire-fighting water or industrial water. Three main water supply pipes 2 are connected to the main water supply pipe 1, and each main water supply pipe 2 is connected to a branch water supply pipe 3. The three branch water supply pipes 3 are respectively set at preset rescue points. The rescue points include Rescue Point 1 41, Rescue Point 2 42, and Rescue Point 3 43. Four sprinkler heads 31 are connected to each branch water supply pipe 3. Each rescue point 4 is equipped with an alarm detection device 5, and each alarm detection device 5 includes a combustible detector and a toxic substance detector. When the alarm detection device 5 is installed outdoors, a combustible detector and a toxic substance detector with a coverage range of 10 meters are selected; when the alarm detection device 5 is installed indoors, a combustible detector and a toxic substance detector with a coverage range of 5 meters are selected.

[0019] Each water supply main pipe 2 is connected to a shut-off valve 21. A low-point drain pipe 22 is connected to the water supply main pipe 2 between the shut-off valve 21 and the water supply branch pipe 3. A low-point drain valve 23 is installed on the low-point drain pipe 22. A shut-off valve 15 and a manual valve 14 are installed on the main water supply pipe 1 before the water supply main pipe 2. A low-point drain pipe 12 is connected between the shut-off valve 15 and the manual valve 14. A low-point drain valve 13 is installed on the low-point drain pipe 12.

[0020] The aforementioned shut-off valve 21 and shut-off valve 15 can be controlled remotely by the system or manually. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] A heat tracing and insulation system 11 is installed on the main water supply pipe 1, and the heat tracing and insulation system 11 is also installed on the main water supply pipe 2 between the main water supply pipe 1 and the shut-off valve 21. The heat tracing and insulation system 11 is one of steam heat tracing, hot water heat tracing, and electric heat tracing.

[0022] Shut-off valve 1 21, shut-off valve 2 15, alarm detection device 5, nozzle 31, low point drain valve 1 23, and low point drain valve 2 13 are all connected to a control system 7.

[0023] When the water supply from the main water supply pipe 1 is for fire fighting, the control system 7 shall be a fire-fighting linkage control system.

[0024] When the water supply from the main water supply pipe 1 is industrial water, the control system 7 is a distributed control system.

[0025] Working principle:

[0026] In low-temperature winter conditions, to prevent pipes from freezing, the heat tracing and insulation system 11 is activated to heat and insulate the water supply main 2 and main water supply pipe 1 before the shut-off valve 21, preventing the water in this section of the pipe from freezing. The shut-off valve 21 is in the closed position. First, open the low-point drain valve 23 and drain the water in the water supply main 2 using the low-point drain pipe 22, then close the low-point drain valve 23. The shut-off valve 15 and the manual valve 14 are in the open position, and the low-point drain valve 13 is in the closed position.

[0027] When the alarm detection device 5 at a rescue point detects an environmental anomaly, the control system 7 immediately opens the corresponding shut-off valve 21 and uses the corresponding sprinkler head 31 to spray the rescue point. After the anomaly is resolved, the shut-off valve 21 is closed, the corresponding low-point drain valve 23 is opened to drain the water from the corresponding water supply main 2, and then the low-point drain valve 23 is closed.

[0028] When the system needs to be shut down, open the low-point drain valve 213 to drain the water from the main water supply pipe 1, which can prevent the main water supply pipe 1 from freezing.
