Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of foam generator technology, and particularly relates to a foam generator that can fully mix foam. Background Technology

[0002] A foam generator is a device used to produce foam and is widely used in fire protection, mining, chemical, environmental protection, and cleaning fields. Its working principle is usually to mix gas and liquid to form stable foam under specific conditions. Foam generators are used by firefighters to extinguish oil fires or solid fires.

[0003] In existing foam generators, the air drawn into the generator creates laminar flow, preventing the air and foam mixture from mixing sufficiently. Therefore, we propose a foam generator that enables thorough mixing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a foam generator that can fully mix foam, thereby achieving a fully mixing operation in the foam generator.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a foam generator capable of thorough mixing, comprising an inlet flange, an inlet pipe welded to the top of the inlet flange, a shell welded to the top of the inlet pipe, an acceleration pipe fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inlet pipe, a nozzle fixedly connected to the top of one end of the acceleration pipe, a connecting seat fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell, a guide plate welded to the outer wall of the connecting seat, a foaming plate fixedly connected to one side of the guide plate on the outer wall of the shell, a through hole formed on the outer wall of the foaming plate, a protective cover fixedly connected above the foaming plate on the outer wall of the shell, an outlet pipe welded to the top of the shell, a sealing glass fitted at the connection between the shell and the outlet pipe, a crack groove formed on the outer wall of the sealing glass, and an outlet flange welded to the top of the outlet pipe.

[0006] Based on the above structure, the foam mixture delivered by the fixed fire pump is injected into the nozzle through the acceleration pipe in the inlet pipe, forming a diffused atomized jet. The atomized jet breaks the sealed glass through the rupture groove, and at the same time, a negative pressure is generated around it. Air enters the shell through the through holes on the outer wall of the foaming plate, so that the air is fully mixed with the foam mixture through the guide plate, thereby drawing in a large amount of air to form air foam. The air foam is sprayed out from the outlet flange through the outlet pipe, so that the foam can smoothly cover the surface of the burning material, realizing the foam fire extinguishing operation.

[0007] Preferably, the inlet pipe is vertical and the outlet pipe is right-angled. In this embodiment, this facilitates the cleaning of dust on the outer wall of the foam board.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the acceleration tube is funnel-shaped. In this embodiment, by setting the funnel-shaped acceleration tube, the Venturi effect occurs when the foam mixture inside the acceleration tube flows, thereby accelerating the flow of the foam mixture.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting seat is ring-shaped, and two sets of connecting seats are provided. The connecting seats are perpendicular to the guide plate. In this embodiment, by providing two sets of ring-shaped connecting seats, the stability of the guide plate can be improved.

[0010] Preferably, the guide plates are distributed in a circular pattern at equal angles about the central axis of the shell. In this embodiment, this facilitates the thorough mixing of air with the foam mixture through the guide plates.

[0011] Preferably, the foaming board is cylindrical in shape, and the through holes are equidistantly distributed along the outer wall of the foaming board. In this embodiment, the air intake area is increased, and the mixing efficiency of air and foam mixture is improved.

[0012] Preferably, the protective cover is conical in shape and the crack groove is cross-shaped. In this embodiment, the conical protective cover facilitates comprehensive protection of the foam board, and the cross-shaped crack groove facilitates the rapid cracking of the sealed glass by the atomized jet.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This fully mixed foam generator, by setting a funnel-shaped acceleration tube, causes the foam mixture inside the acceleration tube to flow in a Venturi effect, accelerating the flow of the foam mixture. By setting a conical protective cover, it is beneficial to provide comprehensive protection for the foaming plate. By setting a cross-shaped rupture groove, it is easy for the atomized jet to pass through the rupture groove and quickly rupture the sealed glass.

[0014] 2. This fully mixed foam generator, by setting a guide plate, allows foam mixture delivered by a fixed fire pump to be injected into the nozzle through an acceleration pipe in the inlet pipe when a fire occurs, forming a diffused atomized jet. The atomized jet breaks the sealing glass through the rupture groove, creating a negative pressure around it. Air enters the shell through the through holes on the outer wall of the foaming plate, allowing the air to be fully mixed with the foam mixture through the guide plate, thereby drawing in a large amount of air to form air foam. The air foam is sprayed out from the outlet flange through the outlet pipe, smoothly covering the surface of the burning material, thus achieving foam fire extinguishing operation.
