[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the illustration, this application provides a fire extinguisher assembly 100, which includes a first container 1, a second container 2, a first adjusting member 3, a fire extinguishing member 4, and a second adjusting member 5. The first container 1 can contain inert gas. The second container 2 can contain solid particles for fire extinguishing, and the second container 2 is connected to the first container 1. The first adjusting member 3 is configured to adjust the gas pressure within the first container 1, allowing inert gas to flow from the first container 1 into the second container 2. One end of the fire extinguishing member 4 is connected to the second container 2, and the other end has a first opening through which solid particles in the second container 2 can be ejected. The second adjusting member 5 is configured to control the flow rate of the pipeline between the fire extinguishing member 4 and the second container 2, and is also configured to adjust the flow rate of solid particles ejected from the first opening.

[0025] In this embodiment, the inert gas contained in the first container 1 can be nitrogen, which is readily available and also serves a fire extinguishing function. Both the first container 1 and the second container 2 can be canister-shaped for easy transport and material storage. The first adjusting member 3 can adjust the gas pressure inside the first container 1 so that when the first container 1 and the second container 2 are connected, the inert gas in the first container 1 can enter the second container 2, causing the solid particles used for fire extinguishing in the second container 2 to be sprayed out through the first opening of the fire extinguishing device 4 to extinguish the fire. The solid particles used for fire extinguishing contained in the second container 2 can be sand, which is effective in extinguishing fires. The fire extinguishing device 4 can be a hose, allowing the operator to move the fire extinguishing device 4 to the first opening and aim it at the fire, so that the solid particles can be sprayed out from the first opening to extinguish the fire.

[0026] The second regulating component 5 can be a valve. The second regulating component 5 only needs to control the connection between the extinguishing element 4 and the second container 2 and adjust the flow rate of solid particles ejected from the first opening; no further restrictions are imposed here. The second regulating component 5, using a valve, can be opened or closed under the operator's control to determine whether solid particles are ejected for fire extinguishing. Simultaneously adjusting the valve size controls the flow rate of solid particles; that is, adjusting the valve controls the amount of solid particles passing through the extinguishing element 4 at the same time, thereby adjusting the flow rate of solid particles ejected from the first opening to adapt to different situations.

[0027] Understandably, the second container 2 holds the solid particles used for fire extinguishing, making them easy to transport. Simultaneously, the first container 1 stores inert gas. The first container 1 is connected to the second container 2, allowing the solid particles in the second container 2 to be expelled for rapid fire extinguishing. Furthermore, the first regulating component 3 can adjust the gas pressure within the first container 1, allowing the inert gas in the first container 1 to enter the second container 2 and regulate the pressure there, thus enabling the solid particles used for fire extinguishing in the second container 2 to be sprayed out from the fire extinguishing component 4 for fire suppression. The second regulating component 5 can adjust the flow rate of the solid particles, allowing for adjustments based on different situations and making it suitable for a wider range of applications.

[0028] In one embodiment, the air pressure in the first container 1 is greater than the air pressure in the second container 2. The second container 2 is connected to the first container 1 through a first regulating member 3, which is configured to control the opening and closing of the pipeline between the first container 1 and the second container 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the gas pressure in the first container 1 is greater than the gas pressure in the second container 2 to connect them, the gas in the first container 1 can enter the second container 2 and pressurize it. The first regulating component 3 can be a pressure regulator, or other components capable of controlling the opening and closing of the pipeline between the first container 1 and the second container 2 and the gas pressure in the first container 1; no further restrictions are imposed here. In use, the first regulating component 3 is opened to allow the inert gas in the first container 1 to enter the second container 2 and pressurize it. The operator can adjust the first regulating component 3 to adjust the pressure in the first container 1 and change the amount of inert gas entering the second container 2, thereby regulating the pressure inside the second container 2.

[0030] Understandably, the first adjusting element 3 allows the air pressure inside the second container 2 to be adjusted so that the solid particles used for fire extinguishing in the second container 2 can be flushed out, and the flushing rate of the solid particles can be controlled according to the air pressure inside the second container 2.

[0031] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the second container 2 is provided with a second opening 20, through which solid particles for fire extinguishing can enter the second container 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the second opening 20 is located at the far end of the second container 2 so that solid particles used for fire extinguishing can fall into the second container 2 through the second opening 20 by gravity.

[0033] Understandably, the second opening 20 is designed to facilitate the replenishment of solid particles for fire extinguishing, making the second container 2 readily available for fire extinguishing.

[0034] In one embodiment, the fire extinguisher assembly 100 further includes a filter element 6 disposed at the second opening 20, the filter element 6 being configured to filter solid particles fed into the second container 2 from the second opening 20. The filter element 6 is detachably connected to the second container 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, the filter element 6 can be made of stainless steel mesh to filter larger foreign objects, thereby improving the effectiveness of subsequent fire extinguishing with solid particles that have entered the second container 2. Simultaneously, the filter element 6 is detachably connected to the second container 2 to facilitate cleaning of the filtered debris and easy maintenance of the filter element 6.

[0036] In one embodiment, the fire extinguisher assembly 100 further includes a mounting member 7, on which the first container 1 and the second container 2 can be mounted.

[0037] In this embodiment, the mounting component 7 can be a frame structure, and its bottom can be configured as a square pipe to provide good support. The first container 1 and the second container 2 can be installed and connected to the frame. Other components that can enable the first container 1 and the second container 2 to be installed on the mounting component 7 can also be selected, without further restrictions.

[0038] It is understandable that after the first container 1 and the second container 2 are both installed on the mounting component 7, the mounting component 7 can be moved simultaneously to move the first container 1 and the second container 2, making it convenient for the first container 1 and the second container 2 to be used when needed.

[0039] In one embodiment, the fire extinguisher assembly 100 further includes a movable element 8 connected to the mounting element 7, the movable element 8 being configured to move the mounting element 7.

[0040] In this embodiment, the movable component 8 can be a wheel-shaped object, which is connected to the mounting component 7 and can roll to move the mounting component 7, so that the first container 1 and the second container 2 installed on the mounting component 7 can be moved by the movable component 8, and the first container 1 and the second container 2 can be quickly moved to the location where fire extinguishing is required.

[0041] In one embodiment, the mounting member 7 is provided with at least two fixing members 9, which are spaced apart along the first direction X to form at least one fixing groove 90, and the fire extinguishing member 4 can be located in the fixing groove 90 and be limited.

[0042] In this embodiment, one end of the fire extinguishing component 4 is detachably connected to the mounting component 7, so that the fire extinguishing component 4 can also be installed on the mounting component 7. Two fixing components 9 are provided, and the two fixing components 9 are connected to the side of the mounting component 7 away from the mounting first container 1. The two fixing components 9 are spaced apart along the first direction X to form a fixing groove 90, so that part of the fire extinguishing component 4 can be located in the fixing groove 90 and limited in the first direction X.

[0043] Understandably, when the fire extinguishing device 4 is tubular, its overall length is relatively long, making it inconvenient to store it on the mounting component 7 when not in use. If a fixing groove 90 is provided, the fire extinguishing device 4 can be partially connected to the mounting component 7 through the fixing groove 90, allowing the fire extinguishing device 4 to be stored on the mounting component 7. This also makes it convenient to remove the fire extinguishing device 4 from the fixing groove 90 for movement and use during subsequent use.

[0044] In one embodiment, the fire extinguisher assembly 100 further includes a closure 10 and a seal 11. The closure 10 is configured to close the second opening 20, and the seal 11 is connected to the closure 10. When the closure 10 is connected to the second container 2, the seal 11 is located between the closure 10 and the second container 2, sealing the second opening 20.

[0045] In this embodiment, the sealing member 10 can be a valve cover, which is detachably connected to the second container 2. When the sealing member 10 is connected to the second container 2, it can close the second opening 20. The sealing member 10 can be provided with a sealing surface to further improve the sealing performance of the sealing member 10 and prevent gas leakage. The sealing member 11 can be an O-ring, which can be located between the sealing member 10 and the second container 2 to further improve the sealing performance of the sealing member 10 to the second opening 20.

[0046] In one embodiment, the surface of the closure 10 is provided with an uneven structure to increase the surface friction of the closure 10.

[0047] In this embodiment, the surface of the closure 10 can be knurled to obtain an uneven structure, which increases the surface friction of the closure 10 so that the operator can easily twist the closure 10.

[0048] In one embodiment, the fire extinguisher assembly 100 further includes an exhaust assembly 12 in communication with the second container 2, the exhaust assembly 12 being configured to exhaust gas from the second container 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, the exhaust assembly 12 may be a safety valve or a pressure relief valve, which may be connected to the closure 10 and communicate with the second container 2 to exhaust the gas in the second container 2.

[0050] Understandably, when the second container 2 is pressurized, the closure 10 will automatically lock. Simultaneously, the sealing surfaces of the sealing element 11 and the closure 10 prevent gas leakage, thus preventing a decrease in the gas pressure inside the second container 2 and maintaining the closure 10 in a locked state. If it is necessary to open the closure 10 after pressurizing the second container 2 without using the fire extinguishing device 4, the pressure inside the second container 2 can be released through the venting assembly 12. When the pressure inside the second container 2 is released or there is no pressure, the closure 10 will no longer lock, and the operator can unscrew the closure 10 to release its seal on the second opening 20.

[0051] The specific embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and substitutions can be made to the specific embodiments of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. All such changes and substitutions fall within the scope defined by this application.
