Furthermore, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the fire extinguishing system for cable trench fires according to this utility model embodiment includes a cable trench body 1 and a DCS controller (not shown in the figure). The upper part of the inner walls on the left and right sides of the cable trench body 1 is provided with mounting brackets 2 respectively. Each mounting bracket 2 is equipped with a perfluorohexanone fire extinguishing agent pipe 3, and each perfluorohexanone fire extinguishing agent pipe 3 extends along the length direction of the cable trench body 1.

[0029] Each perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipeline 3 is equipped with multiple extinguishing agent nozzles 4 at intervals, and the extinguishing agent nozzles 4 on two perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipelines 3 are arranged alternately. This arrangement of the extinguishing agent nozzles 4 ensures that the internal space of the cable trench body 1 is sprayed more fully and effectively during fire extinguishing.

[0030] Each of the perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipelines 3 has a first control valve 5 installed at its inlet, and a temperature sensing element 6 installed on the mounting bracket 2. The first control valves 5 and the temperature sensing element 6 are electrically connected to the DCS controller. The temperature sensing element 6 is used to detect the internal temperature of the cable trench body 1 in real time and send a signal to the DCS controller. When the signal received by the DCS controller from the temperature sensing element 6 is higher than the set temperature, it will control the first control valve 5 to open, thereby delivering perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent into each of the perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipelines 3, and spraying it through each extinguishing agent nozzle 4 to extinguish the fire.

[0031] Therefore, the fire extinguishing system for cable trench fires according to the present invention can effectively prevent or reduce the risk of initial fires in cable trenches and ensure the safety of cable trenches.

[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting bracket 2 includes a mounting side plate 21, a supporting base plate 22, and a plurality of fasteners 23 connected between the mounting side plate 21 and the supporting base plate 22. The plurality of fasteners 23 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length direction of the perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipeline 3. Each fastener 23, the mounting side plate 21, and the supporting base plate 22 respectively form a fixing hole, so that the perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipeline 3 can be installed and fixed by passing through each fixing hole.

[0033] The mounting side plate 21 is connected and fixed to the side wall of the cable trench body 1 through multiple connectors 24, so as to achieve reliable fixation of the mounting bracket 2 on the inner side wall of the cable trench body 1. Depending on the actual use requirements, the connectors 24 can be bolts, screws or rivets.

[0034] The supporting base plate 22 is perpendicular to the mounting side plate 21, and the supporting base plate 22 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the mounting side plate 21. That is, the supporting base plate 22 and the mounting side plate 21 are connected to form an L-shaped structure, which facilitates the installation of perfluorohexanone fire extinguishing agent pipeline 3.

[0035] The fixing component 23 includes an arc-shaped fixing plate 231, a first connecting ear 232, and a second connecting ear 233. The first connecting ear 232 and the second connecting ear 233 are respectively fixed at both ends of the arc-shaped fixing plate 231. The first connecting ear 232 is connected and fixed to the mounting side plate 21 by a first screw 234, and the second connecting ear 233 is connected and fixed to the supporting base plate 22 by a second screw 325. After the perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipeline 3 is laid on the L-shaped structure formed by the supporting base plate 22 and the mounting side plate 21, the perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipeline 3 is fixed by the fixing components 23, thereby achieving reliable fixation of the perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipeline 3 on the mounting bracket 2.

[0036] Specifically, multiple temperature sensing elements 6 are installed on one of the mounting brackets 2. These elements are spaced apart along the length of the mounting bracket 2 and are positioned above the perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipeline 3. By installing multiple temperature sensing elements 6 along the length of the mounting bracket 2, the temperature of each area inside the cable trench body 1 can be detected, ensuring timely detection and extinguishing of fires in the event of a fire.

[0037] In some embodiments of this invention, the fire extinguishing system for cable trench fires further includes a perfluorohexanone external supply device 7, with each perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipeline 3 connected to the external supply device 7 via a perfluorohexanone delivery pipeline 8. The external supply device 7 can supply extinguishing agent to each perfluorohexanone extinguishing agent pipeline 3.

[0038] A second control valve 9 is installed at the outlet of the perfluorohexanone external supply device 7, and the second control valve 9 is electrically connected to the DCS controller. The DCS controller can control the external supply of extinguishing agent by the perfluorohexanone external supply device 7.

[0039] A booster pump 10 is also installed on the perfluorohexanone delivery pipeline 8, and the booster pump 10 is electrically connected to the DCS controller. That is, the booster pump 10 can pressurize the extinguishing agent delivered to each external perfluorohexanone supply device 7, thereby ensuring the spray intensity of each extinguishing agent nozzle 4 and ensuring the extinguishing effect.

[0040] A first pressure detector 11 and a second pressure detector 12 are installed on the perfluorohexanone delivery pipelines 8 before and after the booster pump 10, respectively. The first pressure detector 11 and the second pressure detector 12 are electrically connected to the DCS controller. That is, the first pressure detector 11 and the second pressure detector 12 can detect the extinguishing agent delivery pressure before and after pressurization, respectively, to determine whether the booster pump 10 is working properly.

[0041] The working process of the fire extinguishing system for cable trench fires according to this embodiment of the invention is as follows:

[0042] In the early stages of a fire, the temperature sensing element 6 can detect abnormal temperatures (above a preset value) and send a signal to the DCS controller. Based on the detection data, the DCS controller determines that a fire has occurred and then controls the first control valve 5, the second control valve 9, and the booster pump 10 to open simultaneously. The fire extinguishing agent output from the perfluorohexanone external supply device 7 is pressurized by the booster pump 10 and then sprayed through the fire extinguishing agent nozzles 4 on each perfluorohexanone fire extinguishing agent pipeline 3 to perform timely and effective fire extinguishing operations inside the cable trench body 1, thereby effectively preventing or reducing the risk of initial fires in the cable trench and ensuring the safety of the cable trench.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
