Under the background of emergency and surveying and mapping remote sensing industry, a three-dimensional model of the building interior can be constructed through surveying and mapping technology.

[0003] The sound wave fire extinguisher is a new type of equipment for extinguishing fire by using the physical principle of sound wave. The sound wave belongs to pressure wave, and can produce a small air flow when propagating in the air, so as to remove oxygen from the area around the fire source, so that the combustion stops due to lack of combustion-supporting material. When the sound wave of a specific frequency acts on the air around the flame, the oxygen distribution becomes uneven, and the combustion cannot continue in the area with thin oxygen.

[0024] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] EMBODIMENT

[0026] By Figures 1-4 A sound wave enhancement type fire extinguisher based on the principle of phased array is given, which comprises a main body structure 3, the main body structure 3 is formed with a mounting cavity;

[0027] The dust cover structure 2 is assembled at the front of the main body structure 3, and the plane area is formed between the main body structure 3 and the dust cover structure 2, and a plurality of sound emitting units 6 are installed at the plane area.

[0028] The sound emitting units 6 are arranged on the plane area in an array manner and form a phased array sound emitting system.

[0029] In the embodiment, the plurality of groups of sound emitting units 6 formed by the array can realize the improvement of the gathering degree of sound waves without the aid of mechanical devices under the condition of miniaturization, and the sound waves are enhanced at a long distance, and at the same time, due to the good energy gathering property, the fire extinguishing efficiency can be greatly enhanced, and the effective action distance of the sound waves formed by the array sound emission is long, which can further protect the safety of the fire extinguisher operator.

[0030] Further, the fire extinguisher device of the present application is light and green, and solves the problems of poor energy concentration, short action distance and difficulty in miniaturization of the existing sound wave fire extinguisher.

[0031] In one possible embodiment, the array layout of the sound generating units 6 of the present application can be flexibly adjusted according to the shape and size of the fire site. For example, for a long and narrow passage fire, the sound generating units 6 can be arranged in a linear array so that the sound waves can be effectively propagated along the passage direction, enhancing the fire extinguishing coverage of the entire passage area. The array form can be changed and designed in advance according to the site requirements, and the sound generating units 6 can also be assembled on the main structure 3 in a quick-release form.

[0032] Specifically, referring to Figures 1-2 , the sound generating frequency of the sound generating units 6 is variable; the main structure 3 is provided with a laser, and the laser beam is directed in the same direction as the sound waves of the sound generating units 6.

[0033] In this embodiment, for different fires caused by different fuels, the combustion characteristics are different, and the required fire extinguishing frequency is also different. For example, solid fuel such as wood fire and liquid fuel such as gasoline fire, their flame structure and combustion reaction speed are different. The variable frequency sound generating unit 6 can be adjusted according to these differences. For wood fire with slow combustion speed and stable flame, a lower frequency sound wave can be used, which can better penetrate the flame and act on the combustion core area to interfere with the combustion reaction chain. For gasoline fire with rapid combustion and violent flame fluctuation, a higher frequency sound wave can be more effective, because the high frequency sound wave can quickly form a pressure wave around the flame to interfere with the oxygen supply.

[0034] Further, in the initial stage of the fire, the flame is small and the combustion is relatively stable. At this time, a lower frequency sound wave can be used for fire extinguishing. The lower frequency sound wave can gently isolate the oxygen around the flame without damaging the surrounding environment, and inhibit the combustion reaction. When the fire enters the development stage, the flame becomes large and the combustion becomes violent, and the frequency of the sound wave needs to be increased. The high frequency sound wave can generate a stronger pressure wave to quickly cut off the oxygen supply of the flame and more strongly interfere with the combustion reaction chain. In the decay stage of the fire, according to the residual situation of the flame, the frequency of the sound wave can be appropriately adjusted back to a lower frequency to ensure that the flame is completely extinguished.

[0035] It should be noted that the sound generating unit 6 is a mature structure, the power connection mode is a prior art, and the control circuit can be realized by simple programming of those skilled in the art, which belongs to the public knowledge in the art, and only the use is described, without modification, so the control mode and circuit connection are not described in detail.

[0036] Specifically, referring toFigure 4 The main structure 3 is provided with an operation beam 1, and the operation beam 1 is provided with a control button 4.

[0037] In the embodiment, the control button 4 can be installed through the operation beam 1.

[0038] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 The main structure 3 is internally provided with a battery assembly 8, and the battery assembly 8 is electrically connected with the display screen 5, the sound emitting unit 6 and the computer control assembly 7 in sequence through wires.

[0039] In the embodiment, in use, the user can turn on the battery assembly 8 by pressing the control button 4, so that the battery assembly 8 provides power for the display screen 5, the sound emitting unit 6 and the computer control assembly 7. Then the computer control assembly 7 can adjust the phase of the sound wave emitted by the sound emitting unit 6, and the sound emitting units 6 in the array can work cooperatively, by adjusting the frequency, phase and intensity of the sound wave of each sound emitting unit 6, the sound waves generated by them can interfere with each other. In some fire areas, the sound waves can be superimposed and enhanced, and higher sound pressure can be generated. The high sound pressure can more effectively isolate the oxygen around the flame, enhance the cooling effect and more strongly interfere with the combustion reaction chain. At the same time, through the action of the computer control assembly 7 and the array distribution of the sound emitting units 6, the computer control assembly 7 can be used to control each unit individually. In some complex fire scenes, such as multiple ignition points or the need to avoid some important equipment for fire extinguishing, by controlling the opening, closing and adjusting the parameters of specific sound emitting units 6, the sound waves can be accurately applied to the area that needs to be extinguished.

[0040] Further, the computer control assembly 7 is a prior art, which mainly includes a central processing unit, a storage unit, a data acquisition card and a communication module.

[0041] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 The main structure 3 is internally provided with a computer control assembly 7, and the computer control assembly 7 is electrically connected with the sound emitting unit 6 through wires; and the main structure 3 is provided with a display screen 5, and the display screen 5 is electrically connected with the computer control assembly 7.

[0042] In the embodiment, the display screen 5 can cooperate with the computer control assembly 7 to display the current frequency of the sound wave, the vibration intensity and the distance of the interference enhancement.

[0043] The sound wave strengthening type fire extinguisher based on the phased array principle of the utility model:

[0044] Because the longitudinal waves in the sound wave have interference enhancement properties. Taking two rows of longitudinal wave interference as an example, as shown in the embodiment Figure 5 The vibration direction of the two rows of longitudinal waves emitted by S1 and S2 is the wave meeting directionFigure 5 At the middle O point, the synthesis conforms to the parallelogram rule of vector sum, so the amplitude vector S of the synthesis is greater than the amplitude of each individual wave. In the present application, the computer control assembly 7 calculates and controls the phase of the sound waves emitted by each sound emitting unit 6 so that the interference vibration is enhanced at the target.

[0045] Since the sound wave is a mechanical wave of air density change, the air pressure at the target where the sound wave is enhanced changes dramatically, so the propagation of the sound wave in the flame will destroy the stability of the flame, affect the shape and propagation mode of the flame, the sound wave will change the pressure and flow rate of the combustion area periodically, also reduce the oxygen supply required for combustion, at the same time, the sound wave will generate vortex and forced airflow in the combustion area to reduce the temperature of the combustible material. Therefore, the sound wave can effectively destroy each component in the fire triangle to achieve the effect of extinguishing the fire.

[0046] In summary of the above principles, in actual use, the several groups of sound emitting units 6 formed by the array can improve the degree of sound wave concentration without the aid of mechanical devices under the condition of miniaturization, and enhance the sound wave at a long distance, so as to achieve the purpose of extinguishing the sound wave, at the same time, due to its good energy concentration, the extinguishing efficiency can be greatly enhanced, at the same time, the effective action distance of the sound wave formed by the array sound emission is long, which can further protect the safety of the operator of the fire extinguisher.

[0047] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present application, the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
