[0021] Figure 3 This is a top view schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of a fire extinguishing auxiliary device according to a specific embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0023] The equipment arrangement in communication equipment rooms follows a certain pattern, and traditional fire suppression methods are ineffective in modern, complex, and densely packed equipment rooms. Therefore, this application provides an auxiliary fire suppression device and system for communication equipment rooms to achieve efficient and accurate fire suppression. The following detailed embodiments illustrate this technical solution.
[0024] One specific embodiment of this application provides a fire extinguishing auxiliary device for a communication equipment room. The device has at least one track, which provides a path for a fire extinguishing robot 7 to travel on. In the case of multiple tracks, each track is set up according to the layout of the equipment to be protected in the equipment room.
[0025] For example, when the server racks in the computer room are arranged in a single row, the track can be two parallel lines corresponding to the server racks. The fire extinguishing robot 7 slides on the track to quickly extinguish the fire when it occurs. The fire extinguishing robot 7 carries a fire extinguishing sprayer.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 As shown in a preferred embodiment of this application, when there are multiple tracks, the tracks are arranged in a grid pattern, as shown in grid 5. A locator 6 is provided at each intersection of grid 5. The locator 6 is used to provide positioning guidance to the fire extinguishing robot 7 after receiving the signal from the fire extinguishing controller 3, so that the fire extinguishing robot 7 can glide to the designated area to extinguish the fire.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the locator 6 is a red, illuminated light that lights up upon receiving a signal from the fire extinguishing controller 3. This allows for a very clear and conspicuous warning of the area to be extinguished.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the aforementioned track can be a stainless steel track with an existing solid lubricant coating (such as molybdenum disulfide or polytetrafluoroethylene coating) on its surface. Stainless steel itself is resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, and the solid lubricant coating can significantly reduce friction, making it even more suitable for complex fire environments. Thus, the track structure can be fixedly laid on the ceiling of the computer room and facilitates the sliding movement of the fire-fighting robot 7.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the locator 6 and the fire extinguishing controller 3 are connected wirelessly. The preferred wireless communication method is Bluetooth.
[0030] Corresponding to the size and installation layout of modern computer room equipment, the dimensions of the above-mentioned tracks arranged in a grid are 1200mm*1800mm.
[0031] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of a fire extinguishing auxiliary device according to a specific embodiment of this application. Figure 3 A top view schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of a fire extinguishing auxiliary device according to a specific embodiment of this application; see reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, when the fire extinguishing auxiliary device provided in this application embodiment is used in the fire extinguishing system of the communication equipment room, the system includes: a flame camera 4, an audible and visual alarm device 2, a fire extinguishing robot 7, a fire extinguishing controller 3, and the fire extinguishing auxiliary device 5 in any of the above embodiments. The fire extinguishing robot 7 is mounted on the fire extinguishing auxiliary device 5 and slides.
[0032] The flame camera 4 is used to collect video images of the monitored area. After a fire is detected in a certain area, it sends a signal to the fire extinguishing controller 3. The fire extinguishing controller 3 is used to control the sound and light alarm device 2 to activate the sound and light alarm, which will emit a loud ringing sound and flashing lights to warn personnel in and around the room that a fire has occurred, so that personnel can detect the danger in time and evacuate. On the other hand, it sends a control signal to the fire extinguishing robot 7. The fire extinguishing robot 7 is used to glide to the fire area after receiving the signal to carry out fire extinguishing work.
[0033] In one possible embodiment of this application, the fire extinguishing controller 3 mentioned above adopts the Songjiang Yun'an ZY-4C gas fire extinguishing controller, which can realize gas fire extinguishing control in multiple fire zones, can be connected to emergency start / stop buttons, audible and visual alarms and other devices, and has network connectivity.
[0034] For example, flame cameras 4 are installed on the left and right sides of the eight aisles of the equipment rack in the computer room. The flame cameras 4 are equipped with optical sensors to accurately identify flame characteristics, realize fire hazard monitoring, and help to accurately locate the ignition point.
[0035] The flame camera 4 can be implemented using existing cameras; for example, the Hikvision NP-FVR213 camera can be selected.
[0036] The fire extinguishing controller 3 is connected to the flame camera 4. When the flame camera 4 detects a fire signal, it transmits information including the area location to the fire extinguishing controller 3. The fire extinguishing controller 3 then transmits an alarm signal to the fire alarm device and wirelessly sends an activation command to the fire extinguishing robot 7. The fire extinguishing robot 7 initiates fire extinguishing operations based on the received fire information. Simultaneously, it uploads information about the fire situation, fire extinguishing device activation, and system equipment damage status to remote monitoring equipment, such as a computer room monitoring center, enabling remote monitoring and management and facilitating unified dispatch and command by fire duty personnel.
[0037] The firefighting robot 7 is a track-mounted firefighting robot equipped with a miniature firefighting device; preferably, the miniature firefighting device is a cold aerosol sprayer. In an optional embodiment, the firefighting robot 7 is a U260 track-mounted emergency firefighting robot, manufactured by Shenzhen Schroder, which can be used for fire risk monitoring and emergency alarm handling in spaces such as long-distance underground utility tunnels, overhead corridors, cable tunnels, and conveyor belt corridors.
[0038] The fire-fighting robot 7, equipped with its own sprayer, can quickly activate upon receiving a fire alarm signal, accurately spraying the extinguishing agent to the fire source, effectively improving fire-fighting efficiency and reducing the waste of extinguishing agent.
[0039] The fire extinguishing auxiliary device 5 in this embodiment includes three vertical and three horizontal sliding tracks, which are installed on the ceiling of the computer room. A horizontal track is set in the middle of the aisle of each equipment row in the computer room, and a vertical track is set between every two rack positions. The tracks intersect to form a grid, thus forming area 1, area 2, area 3, area 4, area 5, area 6, area 7, area 8 and area 9. The position of each area corresponds exactly to the rack or server set below that area. Each grid 5 includes four grid intersection positioning nodes, and a locator 6 is set on the positioning node.
[0040] For example, based on parameters such as the size of the computer room and the power of the equipment, the grid block area is set to 1200mm*1800mm in actual use (the horizontal dimension is the length of two server racks, and the vertical dimension is the length between two adjacent equipment aisles).
[0041] In one embodiment of this application, the system further includes: a manual start-stop alarm device 1, which is used by staff to directly trigger the fire extinguishing controller 3 to start working when they discover fire hazards or confirm that a fire needs to be started immediately in the computer room.
[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the fire extinguishing controller 3 is further configured to send fire information to a remote monitoring device after receiving a signal from the flame camera 4. This remote monitoring device can be a remotely deployed cloud platform or a locally deployed host computer monitoring terminal in a server room. For example, the remote monitoring device can be implemented using the Beirui Sunflower Q5Pro, which supports 5G network access, 4K resolution, USB IP mapping, and KVM functionality. Specifically, the cloud platform includes a cloud processor, a cloud controller, and a cloud server. The cloud processor is connected to both the cloud controller and the cloud server, and the cloud controller is connected to the fire extinguishing controller 3. During use, the cloud server can store relevant data, and the control signals from the remote monitoring device can be sequentially transmitted through the cloud processor and cloud controller to control the fire extinguishing controller 3, achieving remote monitoring from the cloud and ensuring the safe and precise control of the fire extinguishing controller 3, ensuring safety and stability.
[0043] Optionally, the remote monitoring equipment supports unified management and control of the platform. Once a fire alarm is triggered in the computer room, the alarm information is sent to the computer room monitoring center system and simultaneously to the mobile phones of relevant responsible persons via SMS. Management personnel can remotely view the on-site fire situation through the monitoring center system or mobile APP, and can remotely control the on-site fire-fighting robot 7 to directly control the fire and extinguish it quickly.
[0044] In one possible embodiment of this application, the fire extinguishing robot 7 is equipped with a camera, which is used to carry the camera to perform inspections along a preset track and record inspection information.
[0045] This embodiment proposes a fire extinguishing auxiliary device and system for communication equipment rooms. It enables the activation of the fire extinguishing system via a fire camera 4 linked to a fire-extinguishing robot 7. The fire camera 4 immediately activates the fire extinguishing system upon identifying a fire, and the track layout corresponds to the arrangement of the server racks within the equipment room. The fire-extinguishing robot 7 can precisely target the fire source, achieving complete extinguishment. It features rapid response, high accuracy, intelligent linkage, and comprehensive monitoring.
