Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fire extinguishers, and in particular to a valve structure for a carbon fiber fire extinguisher. Background Technology

[0002] A fire extinguisher is a portable fire-fighting tool. It contains chemicals used to extinguish fires. Fire extinguishers are common fire-fighting equipment, stored in public places or areas where fires may occur. Different types of fire extinguishers contain different components and are designed for different types of fires. Commonly used fire extinguishers include foam, dry powder, acid / alkali, CO2, and 1211. The body of a fire extinguisher is usually red and printed with its name, model, extinguishing type and capacity, extinguishing agent, and the type and quantity of propellant gas, along with text and pictures explaining how to use it. A fire extinguisher consists of a cylinder, head, nozzle, and other components. It uses propellant pressure to spray the extinguishing agent, achieving the purpose of extinguishing the fire.

[0003] During long-term storage, existing fire extinguishers are prone to leakage at the connection between the valve body and the cylinder due to the aging and loosening of the sealing ring, which affects the service life of the fire extinguisher.

[0004] In summary, there is a current need for a valve structure in carbon fiber fire extinguishers that can improve connection sealing. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing fire extinguishers where leakage occurs at the connection between the valve body and the cylinder due to the aging and loosening of the sealing ring during long-term storage, thus affecting the service life of the fire extinguisher. It provides a valve structure for a carbon fiber fire extinguisher that can improve the connection sealing performance.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A carbon fiber fire extinguisher structure includes a valve body, a fire extinguisher nozzle at the top of the cylinder, a connector at the bottom of the valve body, a feeding channel on the inner side of the connector, an external threaded area on the outer side wall of the connector, an annular inclined guide surface at the outer edge of the connector port, the annular inclined guide surface sloping inward from the bottom of the connector to the connector port, a sealing compression ring fixed on the annular inclined guide surface, the feeding channel located inside the sealing compression ring, an annular flange matching the connector port fixed on the inner side wall of the fire extinguisher nozzle, an annular inclined pressure surface matching the annular inclined guide surface fixed on the side of the annular flange facing the connector, the annular inclined guide surface and the annular inclined pressure surface being parallel, and the sealing compression ring positioned between the annular inclined guide surface and the annular inclined pressure surface.

[0008] The valve body connector is threaded to the fire extinguisher bottle neck via an external threaded area. This connection method is simple and easy to operate, facilitating installation and disassembly, reducing the difficulty of later maintenance and repair, and ensuring good sealing and strong stability. The design of the annular inclined guide surface improves the smoothness of the connector's insertion into the fire extinguisher bottle neck, making operation simple, convenient, and time-saving. An annular inclined pressure surface is provided inside the fire extinguisher bottle neck. A sealing compression ring seals between the annular inclined guide surface and the annular inclined pressure surface, improving the sealing effect between the connector and the fire extinguisher bottle neck, preventing leakage, and extending the service life of the fire extinguisher. When the connector is tightened inside the fire extinguisher bottle neck, the sealing compression ring presses precisely between the annular inclined guide surface and the annular inclined pressure surface, further enhancing the sealing effect.

[0009] Preferably, the valve body has an internal valve cavity, the feed channel is located below the valve cavity, and the valve cavity and the feed channel are connected by a guide hole.

When not in use, the handle is locked, and the valve core is sealed at the feed hole by the spring force, keeping the inside of the bottle sealed. When in use, first remove the safety pin to unlock the handle, then press the handle down to move the valve stem and valve core downward, causing the valve core to disengage from the feed hole and open it. At this time, the extinguishing medium inside the bottle will be automatically sprayed out through the feed hole with the high-pressure airflow. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

The baffle is positioned at the discharge nozzle and slidably connected to the valve chamber. The valve stem and the baffle are connected by a transmission structure. When not in use, the baffle blocks the discharge nozzle, effectively preventing moisture or insects from entering the valve body through the discharge nozzle, thus avoiding interference and corrosion of the internal parts of the valve body, protecting the valve body, and extending the service life of the fire extinguisher.

[0013] Preferably, the top surface of the valve cavity is provided with a baffle groove, one end of the baffle is placed in the baffle groove and slidably connected thereto, the bottom surface of the baffle groove and the baffle are connected by two springs, the other end of the baffle matches the discharge nozzle, and in the unused state, the other end of the baffle blocks the discharge nozzle. The transmission structure includes a card, the card is placed in the top surface of the valve cavity and slidably connected thereto, the side wall of the valve cavity is provided with a card groove, the card groove and the discharge nozzle are respectively located on opposite side walls of the valve cavity, one end of the card is placed in the card groove and slidably connected thereto, the bottom surface of the card groove and the card are connected by three springs, the baffle is provided with a pressure groove that matches the other end of the card, in the unused state, the other end of the card is placed in the pressure groove and the second spring is in a stretched state, the valve stem is placed on the side of the card, a locking block is fixed on the side wall of the valve stem, and a notch that matches the locking block is provided on the side wall of the card, in the unused state, the locking block is placed in the notch and the third spring is in a stretched state. When the valve stem and valve core move downwards, the extinguishing medium inside the cylinder will be automatically sprayed out through the guide hole along with the high-pressure airflow. At the same time, the locking block on the valve stem will automatically disengage from the notch on the card. Under the elastic force of spring three, the card will automatically retract into the card groove and release the locking effect on the baffle. This will cause the baffle to automatically retract into the baffle groove under the elastic force of spring two, thereby opening the discharge nozzle and ensuring that the extinguishing medium is sprayed out smoothly. The structure is simple and easy to control.
