Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire-fighting foam liquid mixing technology, and in particular to fire-fighting foam mixing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Firefighting foam mixing equipment is a core component of modern fire protection systems. Its function is to precisely mix foam extinguishing agent with water in a specific ratio to form a foam mixture with highly efficient fire extinguishing performance. During fire fighting, the equipment introduces air into the mixture to generate a large amount of foam to cover the surface of the burning material, thereby achieving the effects of isolating oxygen, reducing temperature, and inhibiting combustion. It is applicable to petrochemical and warehousing logistics sites that are prone to large-scale fires and can effectively deal with various flammable liquid and solid fires.

[0003] Traditional fire-fighting foam mixing equipment involves injecting water to compress foam in a foam tank, allowing the foam and water from another pipe to mix naturally within the equipment. This method has low mixing efficiency and makes it difficult to quickly and thoroughly mix the foam and water. Existing solutions involve adding a stirring structure to the mixing equipment, using water flow in conjunction with the stirring structure to improve the speed of water-foam mixing. However, relying solely on the natural diffusion and collision of fluids for mixing results in uneven water flow velocity distribution, making it difficult for the foam liquid and water to fully contact each other in a short time, leading to low mixing efficiency. Especially in fire emergency scenarios, mixing delays directly affect the foam generation speed, weaken the timeliness of fire extinguishing, and prevent the timely formation of an effective fire extinguishing barrier, causing the fire to spread and expand. Therefore, a fire-fighting foam mixing equipment is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The bottom of multiple nozzles 12 is connected to the top of the mixing tank 1 around the perimeter, and is injected into the nozzles 12 through the surrounding dispersion pipes 11.
