[0002] Batteries are often stacked in warehouses, and if one stack catches fire, it can easily ignite other stacks, causing the fire to spread. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation, this application provides a flame retardant device that can solve the above problems.

[0004] Embodiments of this application provide a flame-retardant device, including a frame, a first seal, and casters. The frame encloses a receiving cavity and a first opening and a second opening disposed opposite each other. The frame is provided with a third opening and an openable door, the door being configured to cover the third opening in a closed state and expose the third opening in an open state. The first seal is fixed to a first end face of the frame. The casters are foldably connected to the frame, and the casters are configured to extend beyond the first seal in a first direction in an unfolded state and not extend beyond the first seal in a first direction in a folded state, the first direction being the extension direction of the frame.

[0005] In the aforementioned flame-retardant device, the openable door facilitates the frame's placement around the burning pile of chops, and the casters are foldably connected to the frame, allowing the frame to be moved towards the burning pile by unfolding the casters and folding the casters to ensure a tight seal between the first sealing element and the ground. This flame-retardant device is easy to operate and can quickly isolate the burning pile of chops from other piles, reducing the risk of fire spreading.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the flame-retardant device includes a spray pipe connected to a frame, and the spray pipe has spray holes facing a first opening. The spray pipe is configured to inject flame-retardant material into the receiving cavity through the spray holes to enhance the flame-retardant effect.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the frame includes a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall connected in sequence. The first and third walls are arranged along a second direction, and the second wall and the third opening are arranged along a third direction.

Similarly, when a value is considered to have a "1:1" ratio with another value, it means that the two values ​​are equal within a set deviation range, which is within 5%. Again, if at least one of the two values ​​fluctuates within the set deviation range, they are considered equal in ratio even if their values ​​are not equal.

[0057] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. The term "overlap" as used herein refers to the overlapping of the projected portions of two components or the coincidence of the projected portions of two components.

[0058] Embodiments of this application provide a flame-retardant device, including a frame, a first seal, and casters. The frame encloses a receiving cavity and a first opening and a second opening disposed opposite each other. The frame is provided with a third opening and an openable door, the door being configured to cover the third opening in a closed state and expose the third opening in an open state. The first seal is fixed to a first end face of the frame. The casters are foldably connected to the frame, and the casters are configured to extend beyond the first seal in a first direction in an unfolded state and not extend beyond the first seal in a first direction in a folded state, the first direction being the extension direction of the frame.

[0059] In the aforementioned flame-retardant device, the openable door facilitates the frame's placement around the burning pile of chops, and the casters are foldably connected to the frame, allowing the frame to be moved towards the burning pile by unfolding the casters and folding the casters to ensure a tight seal between the first sealing element and the ground. This flame-retardant device is easy to operate and can quickly isolate the burning pile of chops from other piles, reducing the risk of fire spreading.

[0060] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides a flame-retardant device 100, which includes a frame 10, a first sealing member 20, and casters 30. The frame 10 encloses a receiving cavity 10A and a first opening 10B and a second opening 10C disposed opposite to each other, the first opening 10B and the second opening 10C respectively communicating with the receiving cavity 10A. The frame 10 is provided with a third opening 10D and an openable door 11. The third opening 10D communicates with the first opening 10B and the second opening 10C. The door 11 is configured to cover the third opening 10D in a closed state and expose the third opening 10D in an open state.

[0062] The first sealing element 20 is fixed to the first end face 101 of the frame 10. The first end face 101 is the end face of the frame 10 that is close to the ground 90 in the direction of gravity. The first end face 101 surrounds the periphery of the second opening 10C, and the first opening 10B can serve as an opening for injecting flame-retardant material into the receiving cavity 10A.

[0063] Casters 30 are foldably connected to the frame 10. In the unfolded state, casters 30 extend beyond the first seal 20 along a first direction Z to facilitate moving the frame 10 toward the burning pile of ash. In the folded state, casters 30 extend beyond the first seal 20 along the first direction Z to ensure a tight seal between the first seal 20 and the ground 90. The first direction Z is the direction of extension of the frame 10.

[0064] When using the flame retardant device 100, first open the door 11 and unfold the casters 30 to separate the first seal 20 from the ground 90; then push the frame 10 toward the burning pile of chops so that the pile of chops passes through the third opening 10D and enters the receiving cavity 10A; then close the door 11 so that the frame 10 surrounds the burning pile of chops to isolate the burning pile of chops from other piles of chops; then fold the casters 30 so that the first seal 20 is sealed to the ground 90 to further isolate the burning pile of chops from other piles of chops.

[0065] In the aforementioned flame-retardant device 100, the operable door 11 facilitates the frame 10 surrounding the burning pile of chops. The casters 30 are foldably connected to the frame 10, allowing the frame 10 to be moved towards the burning pile of chops by unfolding the casters 30, and also allowing the casters 30 to be folded to seal the first sealing member 20 tightly against the ground 90. The flame-retardant device 100 is easy to operate and can quickly isolate the burning pile of chops from other piles, reducing the risk of fire spreading.

[0066] Furthermore, the first seal 20 can reduce the risk of flame retardant leakage when flame retardant is injected into the accommodating cavity 10A, thereby facilitating the immersion of the burning pile of flame retardant to reduce the risk of reignition.

[0067] Optionally, the flame retardant is at least one of water, water-based flame retardant, flame retardant sand, flame retardant blanket, flame retardant foam, and fire extinguishing agent.

[0068] In some embodiments, the material of the first seal 20 includes flame-retardant silicone. The flame retardant in the flame-retardant silicone (such as aluminum hydroxide or phosphorus compounds) can quickly self-extinguish after the open flame is removed, preventing the spread of fire. The silicone in the flame-retardant silicone has elastic deformation ability, so as to fill irregular gaps and seal the first seal 20 with the ground 90.

[0069] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the flame retardant device 100 includes a spray pipe 40, which is connected to the frame 10. The spray pipe 40 has spray holes 40A facing the first opening 10B. The spray pipe 40 is configured to inject flame retardant material into the receiving cavity 10A through the spray holes 40A to enhance the flame retardant effect.

[0070] In some embodiments, the sprinkler pipe 40 is configured to be connected to a fire hydrant.

[0071] In some embodiments, the frame 10 includes a first wall 12, a second wall 13, and a third wall 14 connected in sequence. The first wall 12 and the third wall 14 are arranged along a second direction X, and the second wall 13 and the third opening 10D are arranged along a third direction Y. The first direction Z, the second direction X, and the third direction Y are perpendicular to each other. Viewed along the first direction Z, the first receiving cavity 10A has a rectangular shape to facilitate adaptation to the shape of a conventional pile.

[0072] Understandably, by adjusting the size of the frame 10, the first accommodating cavity 10A can also be adapted to other non-rectangular stacks.

[0073] In some embodiments, the spray pipe 40 includes a first pipe segment 41 and a second pipe segment 42 arranged in a cross configuration. Viewed along the first direction Z, the first pipe segment 41 extends from the end of the first wall 12 away from the second wall 13 to the end of the second wall 13 away from the first wall 12, and the second pipe segment 42 extends from the end of the third wall 14 away from the second wall 13 to the end of the second wall 13 away from the third wall 14, so as to facilitate the dispersed layout of the spray holes 40A, reduce the spray blind zone in the first receiving cavity 10A, and improve the flame retardant effect.

[0074] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the flame-retardant device 100 includes a second seal 50, which is fixed to the second end face 102 of the frame 10 and / or the portion where the door 11 overlaps with the second end face 102, the second end face 102 being located around the periphery of the third opening 10D. The second seal 50 is configured to fill the gap between the second end face 102 and the door 11 when the door 11 is closed, thereby improving the stability of the isolation. Furthermore, the second seal 50 can reduce the risk of flame-retardant leakage when flame-retardant material is injected into the accommodating cavity 10A, thus facilitating the immersion of the ignited pile of flame-retardant material to reduce the risk of reignition.

[0075] In some embodiments, the material of the second seal 50 includes flame-retardant silicone. The flame retardant in the flame-retardant silicone (such as aluminum hydroxide or phosphorus compounds) can quickly self-extinguish after the open flame is removed, preventing the spread of fire. The silicone in the flame-retardant silicone has elastic deformation capability, so as to fill the gap between the second end face 102 and the door body 11.

[0076] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the flame retardant device 100 includes a baffle 60 fixed to the door 11. The baffle 60 is configured to cover the gap between the second end face 102 and the door 11 when the door 11 is closed, thereby improving the stability of the isolation. Furthermore, the baffle 60 can reduce the risk of flame retardant leakage when the accommodating cavity 10A is injected with flame retardant, thus facilitating the immersion of the ignited pile of flame retardant to reduce the risk of reignition.

[0077] In some embodiments, the baffle 60 includes a first part 61 and a second part 62, the first part 61 overlapping the door body 11, the second part 62 being bent and connected to the first part 61, and the second part 62 being configured to cover the gap between the second end face 102 and the door body 11 when the door body 11 is closed.

[0078] Optionally, when viewed along the first direction Z, the second part 62 extends along the third direction Y.

[0079] In some embodiments, the second part 62 is configured to fit against the inner wall of the frame 10 when the door 11 is closed, thereby improving the stability of the gap between the second end face 102 and the door 11.

[0080] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the flame retardant device 100 includes a locking member 70 fixed to the frame 10. When viewed along the first direction Z, one end of the door 11 is hinged to the frame 10, and the other end of the door 11 is configured to engage with the locking member 70 in the closed state to improve the stability of the isolation.

[0081] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, one end of the door 11 is hinged to the frame 10 by a plurality of hinges 111 arranged along the first direction Z to improve the stability of the door 11.

[0082] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the flame retardant device 100 includes a handle 80 fixed to the door 11 to facilitate opening or closing the door 11.

[0083] In some embodiments, the frame 10 is provided with reinforcing ribs 103 to improve the structural strength of the frame 10. Optionally, the reinforcing ribs 103 are provided in at least one of the door body 11, the first wall 12, the second wall 13, and the third wall 14.

[0084] In some embodiments, the caster 30 includes a pivot 31, a connecting arm 32 and a wheel body 33. One end of the connecting arm 32 is hinged to the frame 10 via the pivot 31, and the other end of the connecting arm 32 is connected to the wheel body 33. The connecting arm 32 can rotate about the pivot 31 to facilitate unfolding or folding the caster 30.

[0085] In some embodiments, the number of casters 30 is four, which are respectively located at the four corners of the frame 10 to improve the stability of the casters 30 supporting the frame 10.

[0086] Understandably, in some embodiments, the caster 30 is telescopically connected to the frame 10. The caster 30 is configured, in its extended state, to extend beyond the first seal 20 along a first direction Z to facilitate moving the frame 10 toward the burning pile of chopped materials. The caster 30 is configured, in its retracted state, to extend beyond the first seal 20 along the first direction Z to ensure a sealed fit between the first seal 20 and the ground 90. The first direction Z is the direction of extension of the frame 10. Optionally, the caster 30 is telescopically connected to the frame 10 via a cylinder or lead screw.

[0087] In the aforementioned flame-retardant device 100, the operable door 11 facilitates the frame 10 surrounding the burning pile of chops. The casters 30 are foldably connected to the frame 10, allowing the frame 10 to be moved towards the burning pile of chops by unfolding the casters 30, and also allowing the casters 30 to be folded to seal the first sealing member 20 tightly against the ground 90. The flame-retardant device 100 is easy to operate and can quickly isolate the burning pile of chops from other piles, reducing the risk of fire spreading.

[0088] In addition, those skilled in the art may make other changes within the spirit of this application. Of course, all such changes made in accordance with the spirit of this application should be included within the scope disclosed in this application.
