Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of gas generating components for fire extinguishing devices, and in particular to a gas generating component suitable for non-pressurized fire extinguishing devices. Background Technology
[0002] Non-pressurized fire extinguishing systems play an increasingly important role in modern firefighting due to their unique design and operating principle. Under normal operating conditions, these systems do not store internal pressure, which not only reduces safety hazards caused by pressure leaks but also lowers maintenance costs and complexity. When a fire occurs, non-pressurized fire extinguishing systems can respond rapidly, generating sufficient gas pressure through an activation mechanism to drive the extinguishing medium to be rapidly ejected for quick fire suppression.
[0003] Currently, the driving element of non-pressurized fire extinguishing devices mainly uses a gas-generating agent. A gas-generating agent is a special chemical substance that, when subjected to electrical, thermal, or other ignition signals, rapidly decomposes and generates a large amount of gas. This gas expands instantaneously, creating sufficient pressure to propel the extinguishing agent through the nozzle, covering the fire source and thus achieving the fire extinguishing effect.
[0004] However, the storage environment for gas-generating agents places strict requirements on their performance. Gas-generating agents need to be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated environment, avoiding moisture or heat. If exposed to moisture, the chemical properties of the gas-generating agent may change, preventing it from igniting properly and thus affecting the fire extinguishing effect of the fire suppression system. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a gas generating component suitable for non-pressurized fire extinguishing devices, which solves the problems of low environmental adaptability, low reliability and limited application scenarios of gas generating components in the prior art.
[0006] A gas generating component suitable for non-pressurized fire extinguishing devices includes a plug, a high-pressure gas cylinder is screwed and fixed to the left side of the plug, a screw sleeve is screwed and fixed to the right side of the plug, a spring is provided inside the screw sleeve, a pin passes through the spring and is placed inside the spring, and an activation component is also connected to the right side of the screw sleeve.
[0007] Furthermore, the starting component consists of a screw plug, with the thermal initiation wire and the electric ignition wire inserted into a silicone sleeve and fixed to the end of the screw plug, and the other end of the electric ignition wire connected to the wiring harness connector.
[0008] Furthermore, the end of the electric ignition wire is flush with the end of the screw plug, and the end of the thermal ignition wire extends beyond the end of the screw plug.
[0009] Furthermore, the thermal initiation wire and electric ignition wire are fixed inside the screw plug with epoxy resin potting, and covered with yellow wax tubing on the outside of the screw plug.
[0010] Furthermore, the high-pressure gas cylinder has a cylindrical metal structure and is filled with nitrogen or carbon dioxide gas at a filling pressure of 4MPa-5.5MPa. The head of the high-pressure gas cylinder is equipped with a threaded structure, and the mouth of the high-pressure gas cylinder is sealed with a stainless steel diaphragm.
[0011] Furthermore, the plug has several through holes at the connection between the high-pressure gas cylinder and the screw sleeve.
[0012] Furthermore, the tip of the ejector pin is provided with a boss for limiting the insertion. The limiting length is such that the ejector pin can pierce the stainless steel diaphragm at the mouth of the gas cylinder while avoiding excessive insertion. The tail of the ejector pin is designed to be concave and is equipped with a sealing ring on the outside.
[0013] Furthermore, the spring can support the ejector pin inside the threaded sleeve when it is not in operation.
[0014] Furthermore, the plug is connected and fixed to the housing of the fire extinguishing device through a threaded structure, and a sealing ring is installed at the bottom of the plug thread.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Using a customized high-pressure gas cylinder as the gas driving source, the driving force can be quantified more accurately while ensuring the device is sealed, providing a basis for determining the performance indicators of related products such as fire extinguishing dosage.
[0016] 2. The ejector pin used in this utility model is made of stainless steel. Its end is a sharp bevel and a venting groove is reserved in the middle, which can ensure that the gas can be discharged smoothly after the ejector pin successfully pierces the high-pressure gas cylinder seal.
[0017] 3. The energy required for the ejector pin to pierce the high-pressure gas cylinder seal is relatively small. Therefore, the ejector pin driving device of this utility model is designed to be miniaturized and lightweight, making it more suitable for various application scenarios.
[0018] 4. This utility model has two starting methods: electric and thermal. The electric starting method consumes less energy and does not require continuous power supply; the thermal starting method can provide fixed-point protection for the protected area by extending the thermal initiation wire. The combination of the two methods can maximize the satisfaction of the user's actual needs.
[0019] 5. This utility model can be reused by replacing the high-pressure gas cylinder and the starting component. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 1-2 As shown, a gas generating component suitable for non-pressurized fire extinguishing devices includes a plug 2, a high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is screwed and fixed to the left side of the plug 2, a screw sleeve 3 is screwed and fixed to the right side of the plug 2, a spring 5 is provided inside the screw sleeve 3, a pin 4 passes through the spring 5 and is placed inside the spring 5, and an activation component 6 is also connected to the right side of the screw sleeve 3.
[0026] Furthermore, the starting component 6 is composed of a screw plug 11, with the thermal initiation wire 7 and the electric ignition wire 9 inserted into the silicone sleeve 8 and fixed to the end of the screw plug 11. The other end of the electric ignition wire 9 is connected to the wiring harness connector 13.
[0027] Furthermore, the end of the electric ignition wire 9 is flush with the end of the screw plug 11, and the end of the thermal initiation wire 7 extends beyond the end of the screw plug 11.
[0028] Furthermore, the heat-initiating wire 7 and the electric ignition wire 9 are encapsulated and fixed inside the screw plug 11 with epoxy resin 10, and covered outside the screw plug 11 with a yellow wax tube 12.
[0029] Furthermore, the high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is a cylindrical metal cylinder structure, filled with nitrogen or carbon dioxide gas at a filling pressure of 4MPa-5.5MPa. The head of the high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is provided with a threaded structure, and the mouth of the high-pressure gas cylinder 1 is sealed with a stainless steel diaphragm.
[0030] Furthermore, the plug 2 has several through holes at the connection between the high-pressure gas cylinder 1 and the screw sleeve 3.
[0031] Furthermore, the end of the ejector pin 4 is provided with a boss for limiting the insertion. The limiting length is such that the ejector pin 4 can pierce the stainless steel diaphragm at the mouth of the gas cylinder while avoiding excessive insertion. The tail of the ejector pin 4 is designed to be concave and is equipped with a sealing ring on the outside.
[0032] Furthermore, the spring 5 can support the ejector pin 4 inside the threaded sleeve when it is not in operation.
[0033] Furthermore, the plug 2 is connected and fixed to the housing of the fire extinguishing device through a threaded structure, and a sealing ring is installed at the bottom of the thread of the plug 2.
[0034] The specific work process for this application is as follows: After the plug 2 is connected and fixed to the housing of the fire extinguishing device, the starting component 6 can be activated electronically. The process involves an electronic control signal transmitted to the electric ignition wire 9 via the wiring harness connector 13, igniting the ignition head fixed inside the silicone sleeve 8. Once ignited, the ignition head generates pressure in the cavity between the screw plug 11 and the tail of the ejector pin 4, driving the ejector pin 4 to compress the spring 5 and move it along the outlet direction of the screw sleeve 3 until it pierces the stainless steel diaphragm at the mouth of the high-pressure gas cylinder 1. Compressed gas rapidly overflows from the through-hole in the plug 2, forming a pressure source within the fire extinguishing device space, driving the extinguishing medium to spray out. This invention can also be activated via a heat source. When an open flame ignites the heat-initiating wire 7, the flame can ignite the ignition head of the electric ignition wire 9 along the wire, thus driving the ejector pin to pierce the high-pressure gas cylinder and generate gas.
[0035] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Using a customized high-pressure gas cylinder as the gas driving source, the driving force can be quantified more accurately while ensuring the device is sealed, providing a basis for determining the performance indicators of related products such as fire extinguishing dosage.
[0036] 2. The ejector pin used in this utility model is made of stainless steel. Its end is a sharp bevel and a venting groove is reserved in the middle, which can ensure that the gas can be discharged smoothly after the ejector pin successfully pierces the high-pressure gas cylinder seal.
[0037] 3. The energy required for the ejector pin to pierce the high-pressure gas cylinder seal is relatively small. Therefore, the ejector pin driving device of this utility model is designed to be miniaturized and lightweight, making it more suitable for various application scenarios.
[0038] 4. This utility model has two starting methods: electric and thermal. The electric starting method consumes less energy and does not require continuous power supply; the thermal starting method can provide fixed-point protection for the protected area by extending the thermal initiation wire. The combination of the two methods can maximize the satisfaction of the user's actual needs.
[0039] 5. This utility model can be reused by replacing the high-pressure gas cylinder and the starting component.
