[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Existing fire sprinkler heads cannot control the water volume according to the size of the fire, resulting in a large amount of water continuing to spray even after the open flame has been extinguished, causing secondary damage to important items in warehouses and offices.

[0021] In view of this, this embodiment provides a novel controllable flow deluge sprinkler head for fire fighting. Through the cooperation of the first telescopic rod, the baffle, and the sprinkler pipe, after the open flame has been extinguished, the first telescopic rod drives the baffle to block the water inlet of the high-flow sprinkler head, leaving only the low-flow sprinkler head to spray water outward. This solves the problem that existing deluge sprinklers cannot control the water volume according to the size of the fire during use, resulting in a large amount of water still being sprayed after the open flame has been extinguished, causing secondary damage to important items in warehouses and offices.

[0022] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0023] Example 1: By Figure 1-4It is known that a controllable flow rain shower head for fire protection includes a threaded pipe 1, a solenoid valve 2 connected to the lower part of the threaded pipe 1, a flexible hose 23 connected to the end of the solenoid valve 2, a water inlet pipe 3 connected to the lower part of the flexible hose 23, and a flow control mechanism connected to the end of the water inlet pipe 3. The flow control mechanism includes a first sealed bearing 21, a spray pipe 4, a stopper 18, and a first telescopic rod 17. The spray pipe 4 is rotatably connected to the water inlet pipe 3 through the first sealed bearing 21. The first telescopic rod 17 is provided below the spray pipe 4. The output end of the first telescopic rod 17 extends into the interior of the spray pipe 4, and the output end of the first telescopic rod 17 is fixedly connected to the stopper 18. The outer wall of the stopper 18 is attached to the inner wall of the spray pipe 4.

[0024] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the thread on the outer wall of the threaded pipe 1 is the part where the sprinkler head connects to the fire water pipe. The model of the solenoid valve 2 is not limited, as long as it meets the actual use requirements. The solenoid valve 2 can control whether the water source is connected to the inside of the sprinkler head, so that the water source can be shut off when the lower mechanism is repaired and disassembled. After the sprinkler head is installed, when a fire occurs, the high-pressure water in the fire water pipe enters the sprinkler pipe 4 and quickly fills all the sprinklers, and sprays out in a wide range through the nozzle 11 to extinguish the fire in time. When the open flame is extinguished, the first telescopic rod 17 drives the stopper 18 to move upward and block the water inlet of the upper sprinkler head in turn. According to the ambient temperature fed back by the sensor 19, one or two rows of sprinklers are selected to keep spraying water to prevent the fire from reigniting. The sensor 19 transmits the signal to the external controller, and the controller controls the solenoid valve 2 to adjust and control the water inlet, thereby controlling the water pressure sprayed by the sprinkler pipe 4.

[0025] Furthermore, an installation plate 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 3, and an installation bracket 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the installation plate 12. A second sealing bearing 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the installation bracket 13. An installation block 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second sealing bearing 14, and a waterproof shell 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the installation block 15. The bottom of the inner wall of the waterproof shell 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first telescopic rod 17.

[0026] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the mounting plate 12 and the mounting bracket 13 are the fixing components of this nozzle, the mounting block 15 is the fixing component of the first telescopic rod 17, and the waterproof shell 16 can prevent water from entering the first telescopic rod 17 and ensure its normal operation.

[0027] Furthermore, the outer wall of the spray pipe 4 is connected to a first straight nozzle 5 and a first curved nozzle 8, and the first straight nozzle 5 and the first curved nozzle 8 are arranged in a ring at equal intervals. A second straight nozzle 6 is arranged below the first straight nozzle 5, and a third straight nozzle 7 is arranged below the second straight nozzle 6. Both the second straight nozzle 6 and the third straight nozzle 7 are connected to the outer wall of the spray pipe 4. A second curved nozzle 9 is arranged below the first curved nozzle 8, and a third curved nozzle 10 is arranged below the second curved nozzle 9. Both the second curved nozzle 9 and the third curved nozzle 10 are connected to the outer wall of the spray pipe 4. Multiple nozzles 11 are opened on the outer walls of the first straight nozzle 5, the second straight nozzle 6, the third straight nozzle 7, the first curved nozzle 8, the second curved nozzle 9, and the third curved nozzle 10.

[0028] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the straight nozzle and the curved nozzle are the water spraying components of this embodiment. Through the cooperation of the second sealing bearing 14 and the first sealing bearing 21, when the curved water pipe sprays water outward, the reaction force of the water flow is used to make the spray pipe 4 rotate, so that the water spraying effect is better and the fire extinguishing efficiency is higher. The lengths of the three rows of water spray pipes are different, increasing from top to bottom, and the spraying range also increases accordingly.

[0029] Specifically, when using this fire-fighting controllable flow rain sprinkler head, in the event of a fire, high-pressure water from the fire hose enters the sprinkler pipe 4 and quickly fills all the sprinklers, then sprays out over a wide area through the nozzle 11 to extinguish the fire in time. When the open flame is extinguished, the first telescopic rod 17 drives the stopper 18 to move upward, and selects the number of sprinklers to be retained according to the ambient temperature to prevent the fire from reigniting. The model and type of the first telescopic rod 17 are not limited, as long as they meet the actual use requirements. The first telescopic rod 17 needs to be connected to an external control system.

[0030] Example 2: From Figure 1-4 It can be seen that a sensor 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting block 15, and a waterproof cover 20 is provided around the outer wall of the sensor 19. The waterproof cover 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting block 15.

[0031] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the sensor 19 can be an infrared sensor, the waterproof cover 20 prevents water from getting on the surface of the sensor 19 and affecting its sensitivity, and the sensor 19 needs to be connected to an external control system to work.

[0032] Furthermore, a fixing plate 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the solenoid valve 2, and a second telescopic rod 22 is rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom of the fixing plate 24. The output ends of the two second telescopic rods 22 are rotatably connected to the top of the outer wall of the mounting plate 12 through pins.

[0033] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the model and type of the second telescopic rod 22 are not limited as long as they meet the actual use requirements. When the nozzle is working, the two second telescopic rods 22 connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 24 will reciprocate and extend in sequence, so that the nozzle can swing left and right, further increasing the spraying range. When the two ends of the second telescopic rod 22 are connected, a pin shaft and a bracket-type structure can be used for rotational connection.

[0034] Specifically, when a fire breaks out, high-pressure water from the fire hose enters the sprinkler pipe 4 and quickly fills all the nozzles, then sprays out over a wide area through the nozzles 11. The sprinkler pipe 4 rotates, and the second telescopic rod 22 drives the nozzles to swing, extinguishing the fire in time. When the open flame is extinguished, the first telescopic rod 17 drives the stopper 18 to move upward in sequence to block the water inlet of the upper nozzles. The solenoid valve 2 closes, and the first telescopic rod 17 resets. The stopper 18 moves with the first telescopic rod 17 to the designated position. Based on the ambient temperature fed back by the sensor 19, one or two rows of nozzles are selected to spray water to prevent the fire from reigniting. Various types of sensors can be installed according to actual usage needs to meet the requirements. In real life, fire protection facilities are equipped with safety control systems. Therefore, the telescopic rod, solenoid valve, and sensor used in this embodiment can all be electrically connected to the control device in the fire protection system.
