Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire protection equipment technology, and specifically to a fire protection system that is easier to troubleshoot. Background Technology

[0002] Fire is an extremely destructive disaster, characterized by its suddenness and rapid spread. Looking back at numerous past fire cases, every second of delay can cause the fire to expand exponentially, resulting in incalculable loss of life and property. Therefore, in fire rescue operations, acting swiftly and maximizing rescue efficiency are crucial to successfully extinguishing fires and minimizing casualties and losses.

[0003] Fire protection piping systems (and fire suppression systems) are the "lifeline" of firefighting operations, and their operational status directly affects the success or failure of firefighting efforts. However, in actual fire rescue scenes, numerous problems arise during the laying of fire protection piping. For example, due to space constraints, firefighters cannot lay pipes in straight lines; the actual piping is often winding and often runs along staircases or windows, making it very prone to bends that severely affect water pressure. Furthermore, due to the complex environment and external forces such as pulling and vibration, fire protection piping is also highly susceptible to detachment and bursting. These problems severely obstruct water flow, significantly impacting water pressure and greatly reducing firefighting efficiency. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid these problems as much as possible at fire rescue sites. However, fire rescue scenes are often chaotic, and fire pipelines are laid hastily. Once a malfunction occurs, it's difficult for on-site personnel to locate the fault quickly, leading to lengthy troubleshooting and repair processes. This further delays the crucial window for firefighting. For example, the conventional method for troubleshooting involves personnel walking along the pipelines and visually inspecting for bends, detachments, or bursts—a highly inefficient approach. Furthermore, on-site personnel often fail to detect minor initial malfunctions. A significant drop in water pressure from the hoses is often the only sign of a problem, by which time it may have escalated into a major issue, severely impacting the efficiency and effectiveness of fire rescue efforts. Therefore, finding a more timely and efficient way to identify and resolve malfunctions at fire rescue scenes is a pressing issue. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The first aspect of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems by providing a fire protection system that can not only detect faults earlier and more promptly, but also locate the fault location more quickly and efficiently, thereby quickly and efficiently eliminating the fault and improving rescue efficiency.

[0005] A fire protection system that facilitates troubleshooting includes a fire hose, a fire truck, and piping. The fire truck is equipped with a delivery pump, which is connected to the fire hose via piping to provide power for the delivery of extinguishing agent. The system also includes a control module and multiple detection modules. Each detection module includes pressure sensors, spaced apart along the direction from the delivery pump to the outlet of the fire hose. The piping between adjacent monitoring points forms the monitoring zone. Each pressure sensor is communicatively connected to the control module and is used to collect the delivery pressure of the extinguishing agent at each monitoring point on the piping. An alert module is installed on the piping within the monitoring zone and is communicatively connected to the control module. The control module adjusts the status of the alert module, which is used to indicate a fault in the monitoring zone. In this solution, multiple detection modules are configured, with pressure sensors in each module spaced out along the direction from the delivery pump to the water nozzle outlet. This not only creates monitoring zones between adjacent monitoring points but also allows each pressure sensor to collect the delivery pressure of the extinguishing agent at different monitoring points on the pipeline. This enables the control module to monitor for pressure anomalies within each monitoring zone. A notification module is installed within the monitoring zone, communicating with the control module. The control module can adjust the status of the notification module, and changes in its status clearly indicate a fault in the pipeline within the monitoring zone, facilitating rapid and efficient troubleshooting. This design, through the coordinated operation of pressure sensors, notification modules, and the control module, allows troubleshooters to quickly locate the fault, achieving rapid and efficient fault finding and elimination. Furthermore, it enables earlier and more timely fault warnings, preventing larger malfunctions and ensuring continuous and stable pipeline operation during rescue operations. Furthermore, with this design, there is no need to use walkie-talkies or other means to inform maintenance personnel of the location of the fault. Maintenance personnel can quickly locate and find the fault location through the corresponding prompt module, which is very convenient and efficient.

[0006] Furthermore, the status of the prompt module includes an on / off state, a color state, or a flashing state, in order to achieve a more prominent prompt and positioning effect.

[0007] Preferably, the notification module includes a notification light, an electroluminescent line, or a screen. This is both easy to implement and provides a more eye-catching notification effect.

[0008] Preferably, the pipeline includes at least one water hose, the water hose includes a water hose body and a first water hose connector and a second water hose connector respectively connected to both ends of the water hose body, the first water hose connector being adapted to the second water hose connector; the water gun includes a water gun body and a water gun connector connected to the rear end of the water gun body, the water gun connector being configured to be adapted to the first water hose connector; the fire truck is also equipped with a pump end connector, the outlet of the delivery pump is connected to the pump end connector, the pump end connector being configured to be adapted to the second water hose connector, for connecting the water hose.

[0009] Furthermore, the pipeline also includes a water distributor, which includes an input connector and at least two output connectors. The input connector is connected to each of the output connectors respectively. The input connector is configured to be adapted to a first water hose connector, and the output connector is configured to be adapted to a second water hose connector.

[0010] Preferably, the pressure sensor is installed on the fire truck, water hose, or water gun; the prompting module is installed in the pipeline.

[0011] Preferably, the number of detection modules is greater than or equal to the number of prompting modules.

[0012] The second aspect of this utility model is to solve the problem of making it easier to lay pipelines on site. Preferably, each detection module is respectively set in each water hose in the pipeline; the water gun is equipped with a pressure sensor for detecting the water pressure. The pressure sensor is communicatively connected to the control module, and a monitoring area is formed between the pressure sensor and the pressure sensor in the adjacent detection module.

[0013] And / or, the fire truck is equipped with a pressure sensor for detecting the water pressure at the outlet of the delivery pump. This pressure sensor is communicatively connected to the control module, and a monitoring area is formed between this pressure sensor and the pressure sensors in the adjacent detection modules. In this solution, by setting each detection module separately on each hose in the pipeline, not only is modularization beneficial, but the pipeline can also be laid more efficiently and quickly on site. By setting a pressure sensor for detecting the water pressure at the water gun, not only can the actual water pressure at the water gun be effectively monitored, but this sensor can also form a monitoring area with the pressure sensors in the adjacent detection modules, thereby enabling more comprehensive monitoring of the entire pipeline for rapid fault location. Similarly, by setting a pressure sensor for detecting the water pressure at the fire truck, not only can the actual water pressure at the fire truck be effectively monitored, but this sensor can also form a monitoring area with the pressure sensors in the adjacent detection modules, thereby enabling more comprehensive monitoring of the entire pipeline for rapid fault location.

[0014] Furthermore, the detection module also includes a first communication module, which is connected to the pressure sensor and the prompting module respectively; the control module includes a second communication module adapted to the first communication module, and the control module and the detection module communicate with each other through the cooperation of the first communication module and the second communication module.

[0015] Furthermore, the detection module also includes a processor, and the pressure sensor and the prompting module in the detection module are respectively connected to the processor, which is connected to the first communication module.

[0016] Preferably, the first communication module in the detection module is located at the first or second hose connector of the hose. This not only makes installation and fixation easier, but also better protects the first communication module from impacts.

[0017] Furthermore, the detection module also includes a battery capable of storing electrical energy. The prompting module and pressure sensor are respectively connected to the battery, which provides power. This not only effectively solves the power consumption problem of the various electrical components within the detection module, but also allows for wireless on-site power line laying, facilitating faster pipeline installation.

[0018] Preferably, the pressure sensor and battery in the detection module are located at the first or second hose connector in the hose, and the indicator module has an electroluminescent line arranged along the length of the hose body. In this solution, the electroluminescent line arranged along the length of the hose body can not only indicate the escape route on site, but also indicate malfunctions, making the entire system more intelligent.

[0019] The third aspect of this invention addresses the problem of providing more timely and efficient alerts to firefighters regarding potential pipeline malfunctions. Further, it includes an alert module that is communicatively connected to a control module, which adjusts the status of the alert module. In this solution, when the control module detects an abnormal pressure in the pipeline, it automatically changes the status of the alert module to alert personnel that a pipeline malfunction has occurred and requires investigation. This allows personnel to troubleshoot the problem earlier and more promptly.

[0020] Preferably, the alert module includes an indicator light, a warning light, an alarm, a speaker, or a screen.

[0021] Preferably, the reminder module is installed on a water gun or fire truck.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the fire protection system provided by this utility model is easier to troubleshoot. It can not only detect faults earlier and more promptly, avoiding larger failures and ensuring that the pipeline can operate more continuously and stably during rescue, but also locate faults more quickly and efficiently. This allows on-site personnel to find the fault location very quickly and efficiently, thereby quickly and efficiently troubleshooting the fault and improving rescue efficiency.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] This embodiment provides a fire-fighting system that is easier to troubleshoot, including a water gun 1, a fire truck 4, and piping. The fire truck 4 is equipped with a delivery pump, a pump end connector 41, and a storage space for containing extinguishing agent. The inlet of the delivery pump is connected to the storage space, and the outlet of the delivery pump is connected to the pump end connector 41. The pump end connector 41 is used to connect the water hose 2, and the pump end connector 41 can preferably be fixedly installed on the side of the fire truck 4. Figure 2 As shown, this is to facilitate take-off and relocation operations during firefighting and rescue operations. In practice, the extinguishing agent can be water, foam mixture, or other extinguishing agents.

[0035] In this embodiment, the water gun 1 includes a water gun body 11. The water gun body 11 can be an existing fire hose 1, which has various types and structures. The front end of the water gun body 11 is the water outlet, and the rear end of the water gun body 11 is provided with a water gun connector 12. A handle can be provided on the side of the water gun body 11, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this is to allow firefighters to hold the water gun 1 more stably; of course, in practice, the side of the water gun body 11 may not have a handle.

[0036] In this embodiment, the water gun body 11 is connected to the pump end connector 41 via a pipeline, thereby realizing the connection between the water gun 1 and the delivery pump, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the delivery pump is mainly used to provide power for the delivery of the extinguishing agent, and the pipeline is mainly used to deliver the extinguishing agent delivered by the delivery pump to the water gun 1, and then spray it out through the water gun 1 so as to extinguish the fire using the extinguishing agent.

[0037] During implementation, existing fire protection piping can be used. For example,... Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the pipeline includes at least one hose 2. The hose 2 includes a hose body 24 and a first hose connector 25 and a second hose connector 26 connected to both ends of the hose body 24. The first hose connector 25 is adapted to the second hose connector 26, so that when laying the pipeline, two adjacent hoses 2 can be connected and interconnected through the cooperation (such as fastening) of the first hose connector 25 and the second hose connector 26. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water gun connector 12 is configured to fit the first hose connector 25, allowing the water gun 1 and the adjacent hose 2 to be connected and interconnected through the engagement (e.g., snap-fit) of the water gun connector 12 and the first hose connector 25. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pump end connector 41 is configured to be compatible with the second hose connector 26, so that the delivery pump in the fire truck 4 and the adjacent hose 2 are connected and interconnected through the cooperation (such as snapping) of the pump end connector 41 and the second hose connector 26.

[0038] In practice, the first hose connector 25 and the second hose connector 26 can be fire hose connectors that are paired with each other in the existing fire protection field. The structure of the water gun connector 12 can be the same as the structure of the second hose connector 26, and the structure of the pump end connector 41 can be the same as the structure of the first hose connector 25.

[0039] In practice, the number of hoses 2 between the water gun 1 and the fire truck 4 can be determined according to actual needs, and can be one hose 2, two hoses 2, three hoses 2, four hoses 2, five hoses 2, etc. In some cases, the pipeline also includes a distributor 3, which includes an inlet connector 31 and at least two outlet connectors 32. The inlet connector 31 is connected to each outlet connector 32 respectively. The inlet connector 31 is configured to adapt to the first hose connector 25, and the outlet connectors 32 are configured to adapt to the second hose connector 26. During assembly, the distributor 3 can be connected between two adjacent hoses 2, such as... Figure 3 As shown, this is to facilitate water diversion, control of water flow, and improvement of fire extinguishing efficiency during fire rescue. In implementation, water distributor 3 can preferably be a two-way distributor 3, a three-way distributor 3, or a four-way distributor 3.

[0040] The fire protection system provided in this embodiment also includes a control module 5, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, multiple detection modules 6 are configured along the flow path of the extinguishing agent from the delivery pump to the front outlet of the water gun 1. Each detection module 6 includes a pressure sensor 61. The pressure sensors 61 (or detection modules 6) are spaced apart along the direction from the delivery pump to the front outlet of the water gun 1. For ease of description, in this embodiment, the pipeline between two adjacent monitoring points is a monitoring area 66. The pressure sensors 61 are used to collect (or monitor) the delivery pressure of the extinguishing agent at each monitoring point on the pipeline. Each pressure sensor 61 is communicatively connected to the control module 5, so that the control module 5 can obtain the pressure data at each monitoring point through each pressure sensor 61. The control module 5 can determine whether there is a pressure abnormality in the pipeline within the detection area between two adjacent monitoring points through the pressure data of two adjacent monitoring points, thereby automatically determining whether there is a fault in the pipeline between two adjacent monitoring points. Specifically, the control module 5 can calculate the difference in pressure data between two adjacent monitoring points to obtain the actual pressure drop data between the two adjacent monitoring points. It can also compare the actual pressure drop data with the stored theoretical pressure drop threshold. When the actual pressure drop data is lower than the theoretical pressure drop threshold, the control module 5 considers that there is an abnormal pressure in the pipeline within the detection zone between the two monitoring points. The pipeline may have a blockage, leakage, or bending deformation, and needs to be investigated.

[0041] In this embodiment, the pipeline in the monitoring area 66 is equipped with a prompting module 7. That is, during implementation, the prompting module 7 can be set at the pressure sensor 61 or on the pipeline between two adjacent pressure sensors 61. The prompting module 7 is connected to the control module 5 so that the state of the prompting module 7 can be adjusted by the control module 5, thereby achieving the function of prompting the monitoring area 66 to have a fault. This allows personnel who are troubleshooting the fault to locate the fault location very quickly, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of fault location and troubleshooting.

[0042] In this embodiment, the state of the prompt module 7 includes an on / off state, color change, a marquee effect, or a flashing state, all of which can serve as prompts. For example, when no fault is detected, the corresponding prompt module 7 is in an off state; when a fault is detected, the corresponding prompt module 7 is in a constant-on state until the fault is eliminated. Alternatively, when no fault is detected, the corresponding prompt module 7 is in a constant-on state with blue (or other colors) light; when a fault is detected, the corresponding prompt module 7 remains in a constant-on state, but the light color is red (or other colors). Furthermore, when no fault is detected, the corresponding prompt module 7 is in an off or constant-on state; when a fault is detected, the corresponding prompt module 7 flashes or displays a marquee effect, thus providing a more prominent reminder.

[0043] In implementation, the location of the detection module 6 can be determined according to actual needs. The detection module 6 (pressure sensor 61) can be installed on the fire truck 4, for example, on the delivery pump, to detect the delivery pressure of the delivery pump. It can also be installed on the pump end connector 41 of the fire truck 4 to detect the delivery pressure at the pump end connector 41. Alternatively, the detection module 6 (pressure sensor 61) can be installed on the water hose 2. For example, the pressure sensor 61 can be preferentially installed on the first water hose connector 25 or the second water hose connector 26 to detect the inlet or outlet pressure of the water hose 2. Of course, the pressure sensor 61 can also be installed on the water hose body 24 to directly detect the delivery pressure within the water hose body 24. Finally, the detection module 6 (pressure sensor 61) can be installed on the water gun 1. For example, the pressure sensor 61 can be installed on the water gun body 11 or the water gun connector 12 to detect the outlet pressure of the water gun 1. Of course, in practice, the detection module 6 (pressure sensor 61) can also be installed in the water distributor 3 or valve (such as a shut-off valve) in the pipeline.

[0044] In implementation, the number of detection modules 6 can be determined according to actual needs. Each detection module 6 is equipped with at least one pressure sensor 61. For example, this system can be configured with two detection modules 6, three detection modules 6, four detection modules 6, five detection modules 6, etc. For ease of description, the number of water hoses 2 configured in this system is N, where N is a positive integer. At the same time, the number of detection modules 6 (pressure sensors 61) configured in this system is M, where M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, M ≥ N; in a more preferred embodiment, M = N + 1 or M = N + 2, etc., thereby enabling more accurate monitoring and location of the fault. As an example, M = N + 1. For instance, the pipeline in this system includes three hoses 2 along the direction of the extinguishing agent delivery. The three hoses 2 are hose one 21, hose two 22, and hose three 23. The front end of hose one 21 is connected to the pump end connector 41. Figure 3 As shown, the rear end of water hose 23 is connected to water gun 1. In a further embodiment, a water distributor 3 can also be configured between water hose 1 21 and water hose 22, or between water hose 22 and water hose 3 23. In this case, the system can be configured with four detection modules 6 (pressure sensors 61), i.e., M=N+1. The four pressure sensors 61 are pressure sensor 1 611, pressure sensor 2 612, pressure sensor 3 613, and pressure sensor 4 614, as shown... Figure 3As shown, pressure detection module one can be set at the front end of water hose one 21, or at pump end connector 41, or at the delivery pump; pressure sensor two 612 can be set at the rear end of water hose one 21 or at the front end of water hose two 22 (located upstream of water hose two 22); pressure sensor three 613 can be set at the rear end of water hose three 23 or at the front end of water hose four 24 (located upstream of water hose three 23); pressure sensor four 614 can be set at the rear end of water hose four 24 (e.g., it can be set at water gun 1 so that it is located downstream of water hose four 24). The first monitoring area 66 is formed between pressure sensor one 611 and pressure sensor two 612; the second monitoring area 66 is formed between pressure sensor two 612 and pressure sensor three 613; and the third monitoring area 66 is formed between pressure sensor three 613 and pressure sensor four 614. Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the control module 5 can determine whether the pipeline in the monitoring area 66 between two adjacent pressure sensors 61 has failed by the pressure difference between the two sensors. For example, it can determine whether the water hose 2 in the monitoring area 66 between the two sensors has failed by the pressure difference between pressure sensor 1 611 and pressure sensor 2 612.

[0046] In implementation, the number of prompting modules 7 can be determined according to actual needs. The number of prompting modules 7 can be less than the number of detection modules 6 (pressure sensors 61). For example, prompting modules 7 can be configured only on certain pipelines that require key monitoring. The number of prompting modules 7 can be equal to the number of detection modules 6 (pressure sensors 61). For example, prompting modules 7 can be configured at each detection module 6 (pressure sensor 61). In implementation, the number of prompting modules 7 can preferably be greater than the number of detection modules 6 (pressure sensors 61). For example, in some cases, multiple prompting modules 7 can be configured between two adjacent detection modules 6 (pressure sensors 61), that is, multiple prompting modules 7 can be configured within a monitoring area 66 to more prominently remind personnel troubleshooting faults.

[0047] In implementation, the location of the warning module 7 can be determined according to actual needs. For example, the warning module 7 can be installed on the fire truck 4, such as on the vehicle body or pump end connector 41. The warning module 7 can also be installed on the water hose 2 in the pipeline, such as on the water hose body 24, the first water hose connector 25, or the second water hose connector 26. In addition, the warning module 7 can also be installed on the water hose body 24, the water gun connector 12, the water distributor 3 in the pipeline, or a valve (such as a shut-off valve).

[0048] For ease of description, let's continue with the example of a system configured with three hoses 2 and four detection modules 6 (pressure sensors 61). In this case, the hoses 2 (including hose one 21, hose two 22, or hose three 23) are equipped with a warning module 7. The warning module 7 can be located on the hose body 24 and / or the first hose connector 25 and / or the second hose connector 26 of the hose 2. In practice, the warning module 7 can include a warning light or an electroluminescent line (such as an EL light line or LED light strip) or a screen. For example, in this embodiment, the warning module 7 includes an electroluminescent line arranged along the length of the hose body 24 to emit light along the length of the hose body 24, thus providing a warning along the length of the hose body 24 and making it easier for troubleshooting personnel to see. It is understood that when the warning module 7 includes a screen, the screen can preferably be located at the first hose connector 25 or the second hose connector 26.

[0049] Since both the detection module 6 and the prompting module 7 require power during actual use, in a preferred embodiment, to facilitate power supply to the detection module 6 (pressure sensor 61) and the prompting module 7, the detection module 6 further includes a battery 63 capable of storing electrical energy. The pressure sensor 61 in the prompting module 7 and the detection module 6 are respectively connected to the battery 63, which is used to provide electrical energy.

[0050] In implementation, the pressure sensor 61 and battery 63 in the detection module 6 can be preferentially located on the water hose 2. Simultaneously, the power module is also located on the water hose 2. The detection module 6 and the indicator module 7 located on the water hose 2 are respectively connected to the battery 63 in the power module. In implementation, the battery 63 can preferably be a lithium battery 63. More specifically, the pressure sensor 61 and battery 63 in the detection module 6 can be preferentially located at the first water hose connector 25 or the second water hose connector 26 of the water hose 2, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the pressure sensor 61 and battery 63 in the detection module 6 are preferably located at the same hose connector 2 (first hose connector 25 or second hose connector 26), which facilitates assembly and wiring. Figure 3 As shown.

[0051] To facilitate communication, various implementation methods are available. For example, in one implementation, the detection module 6 further includes a first communication module 62, which is connected to both the pressure sensor 61 and the prompting module 7. Correspondingly, the control module 5 includes a second communication module adapted to the first communication module 62, enabling the control module 5 and the prompting module 7 to communicate with each other through the cooperation of the first and second communication modules. In a more complete implementation, the detection module 6 further includes a processor 64, which is connected to both the pressure sensor 61 and the prompting module 7. The processor 64 is connected to the first communication module 62. In practice, the processor 64 can utilize existing processing chips, circuits, etc.

[0052] In implementation, the first communication module 62 and the second communication module can be implemented using existing technologies: the first communication module 62 and the second communication module can use mutually compatible wireless communication modules, such as Zigbee modules, Wi-Fi modules, NB-IoT modules, or LoRa modules, or of course, 4G or 5G communication modules. In other implementation methods, the first communication module 62 and the second communication module can use mutually compatible wired communication modules. In this case, the first communication module 62 and the second communication module can use wired communication modules such as RS-485 modules, CAN bus modules, or Ethernet modules. In this case, communication lines need to be laid simultaneously with the conduit installation. One end of the communication line is connected to the second communication module, and each first communication module 62 is connected to the communication line.

[0053] In practice, the first communication module 62 in the detection module 6 can be preferentially set at the first hose connector 25 or the second hose connector 26 of the hose 2. This not only makes it easier to install and fix, but also makes it easier to protect the first communication module 62 and prevents it from being bumped or knocked.

[0054] It is understandable that when the pressure sensor 61 and / or the indicator module 7 are installed in the water distributor 3 or valve in the pipeline, the pressure sensor 61 and / or the indicator module 7 can draw power from the adjacent water hose 2. Of course, an independent power supply module can also be configured in the water distributor 3 or valve to provide power. When the pressure sensor 61 and / or the indicator module 7 are installed in the water gun 1, the water gun 1 is equipped with a power supply module to power the various electrical appliances on the water gun 1. When the pressure sensor 61 and / or the indicator module 7 are installed in the fire truck 4, the pressure sensor 61 and / or the indicator module 7 can draw power directly from the fire truck 4, which will not be elaborated here.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, each detection module 6 can be respectively installed in each water hose 2 in the pipeline, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the detection module 6 is integrated into the hose 2, which not only facilitates modularity but also allows for more efficient and rapid pipeline laying on site. At this time, when the pressure sensor 61 and battery 63 in the detection module 6 are both located at the first hose connector 25, the fire truck 4 is equipped with the detection module 6. This detection module 6 is communicatively connected to the control module 5, and a monitoring area 66 is formed between the pressure sensor 61 in this detection module 6 and the pressure sensor 61 in the adjacent detection module 6. Figure 5 As shown, it can not only effectively monitor the actual water pressure of fire truck 4, but also form a monitoring area 66 with the pressure sensor 61 in the adjacent detection module 6, so as to monitor the entire pipeline more comprehensively and quickly locate the fault location.

[0056] When both the pressure sensor 61 and the battery 63 in the detection module 6 are located at the second hose connector 26, the water gun 1 is equipped with the detection module 6. This detection module 6 is communicatively connected to the control module 5, and a monitoring area 66 is formed between the pressure sensor 61 in the detection module 6 and the pressure sensor 61 in the adjacent detection module 6. Figure 6 As shown, it can not only effectively monitor the actual water pressure of the water gun 1, but also form a monitoring area 66 with the pressure sensor 61 in the adjacent detection module 6, so as to monitor the entire pipeline more comprehensively and quickly locate the fault location.

[0057] In a more complete embodiment, the detection module 6 can be embedded in the hose 2. For example, the pressure sensor 61, the battery 63, and the first communication module 62 can all be embedded in the first hose connector 25 or the second hose connector 26. The detection module 6 can also include a housing. The pressure sensor 61, the battery 63, and the first communication module 62 in the detection module 6 can all be installed in the housing. The housing can be fixed to the first hose connector 25 or the second hose connector 26.

[0058] In this embodiment, the control module 5 may include existing microprocessor chips, PLCs, circuit structures, servers, etc.; the control module 5 is preferably installed on the fire truck 4, but in practice, the control module 5 may also be installed on the water gun 1, etc.

[0059] Example 2

[0060] To address the issue of more timely and efficient alerting of firefighters to potential pipeline malfunctions, the main difference between this embodiment 2 and the previous embodiment is that the fire protection system provided in this embodiment also includes an alert module 8, such as... Figure 7As shown, the reminder module 8 is communicatively connected to the control module 5. When the control module 5 detects an abnormal pressure in the pipeline, it can change the state of the reminder module 8 so as to remind personnel (including but not limited to on-site firefighters) that a pipeline fault has occurred and needs to be investigated. This allows personnel to carry out troubleshooting work earlier and more promptly.

[0061] In implementation, the reminder module 8 may include indicator lights, warning lights, alarms, speakers, or screens, etc.

[0062] Similarly, as mentioned earlier, the states of the reminder module 8, including on / off status, color changes, scrolling light effects, and flashing states, can all serve to provide more prominent reminders. For example, when no fault is detected, the reminder module 8 is in the off state; when a fault is detected, the reminder module 8 remains constantly lit until the fault is eliminated. Another example is that when no fault is detected, the reminder module 8 remains constantly lit and emits blue (or other colors); when a fault is detected, the reminder module 8 remains constantly lit, but emits red (or other colors). Yet another example is that when no fault is detected, the reminder module 8 is either off or constantly lit; when a fault is detected, the reminder module 8 flashes or displays a scrolling light effect, thus providing a more prominent reminder.

[0063] During implementation, the location of the reminder module 8 can be determined according to actual needs. For example, the reminder module 8 can be configured on fire truck 4. Figure 7 As shown, this is to promptly alert personnel at fire truck location 4; alternatively, the alert module 8 can be installed on water gun 1, such as... Figure 7 As shown, this is to promptly alert firefighters at water gun 1. In this case, it can be understood that the alert module 8 is connected to the power module located at water gun 1, so that the power module can supply power to the alert module 8. Simultaneously, if the control module 5 is not located at water gun 1, then water gun 1 is equipped with a first communication module 62, and the alert module 8 communicates with the control module 5 through the first communication module 62. Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, both the water gun 1 and the fire truck 4 are equipped with the reminder module 8.

[0064] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
