AI Technical Summary
The expansion material of traditional fire arrestors is prone to structural collapse at high temperatures, losing its sealing properties and failing to effectively resist the impact of violent airflow.
Composite fibers are added to graphene expanded materials to form a grid-like or bidirectional cross-grid structure. Composite fibers made of nickel-titanium shape memory alloy fibers and alumina fibers are used to enhance tensile properties through high-temperature phase transformation. Combined with ceramic microsphere anchoring nodes, the structural stability is enhanced.
At high temperatures, it forms a "reinforced concrete" composite barrier, enhancing tensile strength, resisting airflow shear force, and maintaining airtightness.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of composite fire arrestors, and in particular to a graphite fire arrestor. Background Technology
[0002] Fire collars (also called fireproof collars) are made of metal with a flame-retardant expanding core material inside. They are fitted onto the outer wall of rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes and fixed to the floor or wall. When a fire occurs, the core material expands rapidly due to heat, squeezing the UPVC pipe and sealing the pipe opening in a short time, preventing the fire from spreading along the opening. This product has the advantages of compact structure, beautiful appearance, organic combination of leak prevention and fire protection, and convenient construction and installation.
[0003] In a fire, fire arrestors, as a critical fire barrier at pipe penetration points, not only need to withstand the direct erosion of high-temperature flames but also the impact of the intense airflow generated by the high temperature. The core expansion material of traditional fire arrestors (such as graphene-like substances) can rapidly expand to form a dense carbon layer after being heated, playing a role in physically isolating oxygen and blocking heat conduction.
[0004] However, when the expandable body lacks effective internal structural support, its mechanical properties suffer from significant shortcomings: graphene expandable materials form porous carbon layers through layer stacking at high temperatures, and their flame-retardant mechanism relies on the dense physical barrier formed by the stacking of two-dimensional layers. However, these expandable bodies are mostly loose honeycomb or sponge-like structures with high internal porosity and a slender skeleton. Under the impact of high-speed airflow, the weak connection points of the expandable body are prone to breakage, leading to the collapse of the overall structure and loss of sealing.

Composite fibers 4 are added to the graphene expanded material 2. The composite fibers 4 are pre-set in a curved shape in the graphene expanded material 2.

[0038] Stage 2: Phase Transformation Triggered State (300℃±10℃) The fiber-intelligent nickel-titanium shape memory alloy reaches the austenitic phase transformation point, molecular lattice reconstruction releases stored elastic potential energy, and the fiber is forcibly straightened from a bent state; the straightening process generates axial tensile stress (σ≥1800MPa) and radial expansion force (expansion tension coefficient K=1.8). 2.3). Graphite co-deformation fibers radial tension compresses graphite microsheets into the fiber gaps for migration (migration distance d=10). (50μm); at the grid nodes, the outer shell of the ceramic microspheres cracks, and the internal expanded graphite cores are ejected by heat, filling the micro-gaps between the fiber layers.
