Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire protection facilities technology, specifically a compressed air foam fire extinguishing device. Background Technology

[0002] Homogeneous foam, produced by thoroughly mixing water, foam concentrate, and air, or by mixing foam premix and air under a certain pressure, can be mixed with water in a suitable mixing ratio to form a concentrated foam mixture. It is also known as foam extinguishing agent. Compressed air foam extinguishing devices consist of a water pump, an air supply pump, a foam concentrate storage tank, foam proportioning equipment, control equipment, valves, pipelines, etc. They are used to release compressed air foam into the protected area according to a predetermined pattern, such as compressed air foam nozzles, compressed air foam spray pipes, compressed air foam cannons, compressed air foam guns, etc.

[0003] Fire extinguishing systems typically have filter components installed in their water supply pipes and foam liquid supply pipes. However, with long-term use, a large amount of impurities accumulate inside these filter components, requiring disassembly and cleaning, which is inconvenient. In addition, the mixing of water, foam liquid, and gas takes time, which slows down the delivery of the foam extinguishing agent and can delay fire suppression efforts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a compressed air foam fire extinguishing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a compressed air foam fire extinguishing device, comprising a storage tank, a control module, an air pump, and a base, and further comprising:

[0006] A first pipeline is connected to the storage tank. A second pipeline is also provided on one side of the first pipeline. A metering component is provided on the surface of both the first pipeline and the second pipeline. A filter component is provided at the other end of both the first pipeline and the second pipeline.

[0007] A third pipeline is connected to the outlet end of the air pump. Several linear reciprocating motors are bolted to the top of the base. A crossbar is bolted to the output shaft of the linear reciprocating motor. A collar is bolted to the top of the crossbar. A connecting pipe is fixed to the inner wall of the collar. The two ends of the connecting pipe are respectively connected to a main pipe and a fourth pipeline through flexible hoses. A first solenoid valve is installed on the surface of the fourth pipeline.

[0008] Preferably, the connection metering assembly includes a second solenoid valve, a flow meter, and a pump body. The number of the second solenoid valves is two sets, which are respectively connected to the first pipeline and the second pipeline. The number of the flow meters is two sets, which are respectively connected to the first pipeline and the second pipeline. The number of the pump bodies is two sets, which are connected to the first pipeline and the second pipeline.

[0009] Preferably, the filter assembly includes a cylinder, a housing, and an electro-hydraulic push rod. There are two sets of cylinders, each connected to a first pipeline and a second pipeline respectively. The other end of each cylinder is connected to a main pipeline. The housing is bolted to the top of the cylinder. The electro-hydraulic push rod is bolted to the output shaft of the housing. A connecting plate is bolted to the output shaft of the electro-hydraulic push rod. A filter screen is also bolted inside the cylinder. A cleaning brush is fixed to the other side of the connecting plate. A first sealing plate is bolted to the bottom of the connecting plate. Notches are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the cylinder. A connecting rod is hinged to the bottom of the first sealing plate. A second sealing plate is hinged to the bottom end of the connecting rod. Movable columns are bolted to both sides of the second sealing plate.

[0010] Preferably, the surfaces of the first and second sealing plates on opposite sides are both arc-shaped.

[0011] Preferably, the length of the cleaning brush is greater than the diameter of the filter screen.

[0012] Preferably, an electronic pressure gauge and a third solenoid valve are respectively installed on the surface of the third pipeline.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention utilizes a linear reciprocating motor to drive a crossbar and collar to reciprocate up and down, which in turn drives the connecting pipe to reciprocate up and down. This causes the water, foam liquid, and gas transported inside the connecting pipe to sway up and down, achieving a mixing effect during transport and shortening the delivery time of the foam extinguishing agent, thus buying time for fire extinguishing. Simultaneously, when the device is idle, an electric hydraulic push rod is activated to lower the cleaning brush, the first sealing plate, and the second sealing plate, temporarily releasing the seals on the upper and lower openings of the cylinder. The cleaning brush then removes impurities from the filter screen surface, which fall through the openings. Afterward, the first and second sealing plates can reset, thus achieving internal cleaning without disassembling the filter components. Attached Figure Description

To control the opening and closing of the third pipeline 5, the electronic pressure gauge 17 and the third solenoid valve 18 are both electrically connected to the control module 2. Several linear reciprocating motors 9 are bolted to the top of the base 8. A crossbar 10 is bolted to the output shaft of the linear reciprocating motor 9. A collar 11 is bolted to the top of the crossbar 10. A connecting pipe 12 is fixed to the inner wall of the collar 11. The two ends of the connecting pipe 12 are respectively connected to the main pipe 7 and the fourth pipeline 13 through flexible hoses. A first solenoid valve 14 is installed on the surface of the fourth pipeline 13. The fourth pipeline 13 is located in the area requiring fire protection, and each pipe in the pipeline is equipped with a first solenoid valve 14 to realize the control of the area pipeline. The first solenoid valve 14 is electrically connected to the control module 2 and is controlled by the control module 2.

[0026] The metering assembly 15 includes a second solenoid valve 151, a flow meter 152, and a pump body 153. There are two sets of second solenoid valves 151, which are respectively connected to the first pipeline 3 and the second pipeline 4. There are two sets of flow meters 152, which are respectively connected to the first pipeline 3 and the second pipeline 4. There are two sets of pump bodies 153, which are connected to the first pipeline 3 and the second pipeline 4. The second solenoid valve 151 is used to control the opening and closing of the first pipeline 3 and the second pipeline 4. The flow meter 152 is used to monitor the flow rate inside the first pipeline 3 and the second pipeline 4. The pump body 153 is used to transport foam liquid and water.

[0027] The filter assembly 16 includes a cylinder 161, a housing 162, and an electro-hydraulic push rod 163. Two sets of cylinders 161 are connected to the first pipeline 3 and the second pipeline 4, respectively. The other end of each cylinder 161 is connected to the main pipe 7. The housing 162 is bolted to the top of the cylinder 161. The electro-hydraulic push rod 163 is bolted to the output shaft of the housing 162. A connecting plate 164 is bolted to the output shaft of the electro-hydraulic push rod 163. A filter screen 1611 is also bolted inside the cylinder 161. A cleaning filter is fixed to the other side of the connecting plate 164. The cleaning brush 165 has a distribution length greater than the diameter of the filter screen 1611. A first sealing plate 166 is bolted to the bottom of the connecting plate 164. Notches are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the cylinder 161. A connecting rod 167 is hinged to the bottom of the first sealing plate 166. A second sealing plate 168 is hinged to the bottom end of the connecting rod 167. Movable columns 169 are bolted to both sides of the second sealing plate 168. Inclined frames 1610 are also bolted to both sides of the cylinder 161, and the movable columns 169 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the inclined frames 1610.

[0028] During operation, if a fire is detected, control module 2 controls the second solenoid valve 151, the third solenoid valve 18, the pump body 153, the air pump 6, and the linear reciprocating motor 9 to open. The foam liquid inside storage tank 1 enters the interior of cylinder 161 through the first pipe 3. The filter screen 1611 filters impurities from the foam liquid. Water enters the interior of cylinder 161 through the second pipe 4, where the filter screen 1611 filters impurities. Flow meters 152 on both pipes monitor the amount of foam liquid and water being transported and provide feedback to control module 2. Control module 2 controls the amount of foam liquid and water by controlling the start and stop of the second solenoid valve 151 and the pump body 153 to maintain the correct ratio. After passing through cylinder 161, the water and foam liquid enter the main pipe 7. Simultaneously, the air pump 6... After passing through the third pipeline 5 and the third solenoid valve 18, the raw gas enters the main pipe 7. Then, water, foam liquid, and gas enter the main pipe 7 together and then enter the connecting pipe 12. At this time, the control module 2 controls multiple linear reciprocating motors 9 to start synchronously. Their output shafts move repeatedly to drive the crossbar 10, the collar 11, and the connecting pipe 12 to move up and down, thereby shaking the water, foam liquid, and gas inside the connecting pipe 12 to mix them evenly. This achieves the effect of mixing during the transportation process, shortening the delivery time of the foam extinguishing agent. Then, the foam is sprayed out through the nozzle in the fourth pipeline 13 to extinguish the fire. Moreover, the control module 2 mainly controls the opening of the first solenoid valve 14 in the fire area to prevent foam from being sprayed in areas where no fire has occurred, thus avoiding waste.

[0029] Main performance parameters of the compressed air foam generating device: air pressure 0.2~0.4Mpa, foam liquid mixing flow rate range 360~440L / min, mixing ratio 1% (0.8%~1.2%) or 0.5% (0.4%~0.6%), and air supply flow rate range 3.6~4.4m³. 3 / min, with a gas-liquid ratio of 10:1 or 9:1 to 11:1.

[0030] During the device's idle period, if it is necessary to clean the impurities intercepted by the filter screen 1611, simply activate the electric hydraulic push rod 163 to extend its output shaft, causing the connecting plate 164 and the first sealing plate 166 to descend. This, in turn, causes the cleaning brush 165 and the connecting rod 167 to descend. The connecting rod 167 then pushes the lower second sealing plate 168 downward, causing the movable column 169 to move along the direction of the inclined frame 1610. This allows the second sealing plate 168 to move diagonally downward, thus removing the lower part of the notch in the cylinder 161. The cleaning brush 165 then contacts the filter screen 1611, removing the accumulated impurities. The impurities are cleaned off and fall through the notch below the cylinder 161. Then, the output shaft of the electric hydraulic push rod 163 is shortened, which drives the first sealing plate 166 to rise. Then, the first sealing plate 166 pulls the second sealing plate 168 to rise through the connecting rod 167. Finally, the cleaning brush 165 returns to the inside of the box 162. The first sealing plate 166 and the second sealing plate 168 then reseal the notches on the upper and lower sides of the cylinder 161. The surfaces of the first sealing plate 166 and the second sealing plate 168 on opposite sides are designed with an arc shape to adapt to the inner wall of the cylinder 161 after closing.
