Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention addresses the shape of fireproof cloth and an efficient method for simultaneously using a large amount of fireproof cloth. In contrast, the background art and existing documents related to fireproof cloth focus on the manufacturing raw materials, manufacturing means and method of use of the fireproof cloth itself. Therefore, the respective problems addressed by the two are of different dimensions, and since these background arts and documents are known and voluminous, their disclosure is omitted here. [Background Art]

[0002] In the background art of the present invention, although the shape of the fireproof cloth is not limited, the present invention first takes the shape of the fireproof cloth as a problem to be solved, so the fireproof cloth manufacturing technology related to the shape of the fireproof cloth is the background art herein.

[0003] Next, the present invention addresses an efficient method for simultaneously using a large amount of fireproof cloth, so the background art and applied technologies related thereto are as follows.

[0013] Based on the understanding that in firefighting operations for building fires and large-scale forest fires occurring frequently under strong winds worldwide (hereinafter referred to as "large-scale fires under strong winds"), only firefighting operations such as water discharge and extinguishing agent spraying (hereinafter referred to as "other firefighting operations") are carried out, and existing fire-resistant cloth (hereinafter referred to as "existing fire-resistant cloth") is almost completely unused (hereinafter referred to as "unused"), the reason for this is the shape of the fire-resistant cloth which does not have water permeability, the present invention aims to improve the shape of the fire-resistant cloth to give it water permeability, and provides the means of claim 1 to solve this problem.

[0014] The present invention addresses the problems that the fireproof cloth body of claim 1 is a fireproof cloth that encompasses not only a single-layer form but also a multi-layer form, and that it does not have a fire extinguisher mounting shape that would enable active participation in fire extinguishing agent spraying work, which is the core of fire prevention work in "large-scale fires under strong winds." To solve these problems, the present invention provides the means of claim 2.

[0015] The present invention addresses the problem of how to contribute to the efficient use of large quantities of fireproof cloth simultaneously, which has newly emerged as a result of the inventions of Claims 1 and 2, and provides the means of Claim 3 to solve this problem. [Means for solving the problem]

[0016] First, regarding the first issue, the direct reason why the "unused situation" of fireproof cloth in firefighting operations during "large-scale fires under strong winds" continues is that the fireproof performance of "existing fireproof cloth" is also waterproof. Therefore, when burning objects and / or objects to be protected from fire spread (hereinafter abbreviated as "covered objects") are covered with "existing fireproof cloth," its waterproof performance hinders the reach of water and extinguishing agents (hereinafter abbreviated as "extinguishing agents, etc.") from "other firefighting activities" carried out simultaneously to the "covered objects." We understand that the problem lies in the fact that "cloth" is an obstacle to "other firefighting activities." Furthermore, we understand that the root cause of this direct problem is the intangible fixed idea that "the purpose of fire-resistant cloth is to possess fire-resistant properties, and therefore the shape of fire-resistant cloth should be like an impenetrable, monolithic wall." Based on this understanding, we decided to break this fixed idea by taking the opposite approach and making the shape of the fire-resistant cloth water-permeable and breathable.

[0017] Furthermore, as a trial to examine the true value of this completely opposite idea, when openings were actually made in the fireproof cloth, it was found that even if the openings were not large-scale and the gaps between them were small enough to be just cuts, that is, even if the fireproof cloth itself was made into a slatted or curtain-like shape, the fireproof cloth would not lose much of its fireproof performance, and would be given water permeability and breathability. Moreover, if the fireproof cloth itself was made into a multi-layered shape, the fireproof performance would be fully realized. Thus, this trial of openings has been conducted to add water permeability and breathability to the fireproof cloth without impairing its fireproof performance at all. This means that the fireproof cloth is able to cover the "covered object" for fire protection, while at the same time being able to fully achieve the reach of "fire extinguishing agents, etc." by "other firefighting activities" to the "covered object".

[0018] Based on the above theories and realities, the present invention provides a fireproof cloth with water permeability and breathability as a concrete means to solve Problem 1. To this end, the present invention provides a fireproof cloth body in the form of a single-layer or multi-layer structure of a desired size and shape, made from the same materials as existing fireproof cloths (hereinafter abbreviated as "fireproof materials"), and provides each fireproof cloth constituting this fireproof cloth body with openings of a desired size and shape that allow for ventilation and water permeability. In making these openings, the cut edges can be left as they are or some gaps can be made, making it possible for the shape of the fireproof cloth body to be like a slatted mat or a bamboo blind. The present invention provides a fireproof cloth in the form of these openings as body openings as the means of Claim 1. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] (1) The main body opening according to the present invention has the effect of providing water permeability and breathability, which have never existed before, to existing fireproof fabrics that only have fireproof properties without causing them to lose their fireproof properties. Therefore, the fireproof fabric of the present invention has a fire extinguishing effect that allows fire extinguishing agents etc. from other firefighting activities carried out at the same time to reach the covered object directly.

[0020] (2) Moreover, the position, size, and shape of the opening in the main body are all arbitrary, and this arbitrariness also has the effect of allowing the degree of water permeability, breathability, and flame suppression performance of the fireproof cloth to be freely determined.

[0021] (3) Furthermore, in order to use the fireproof cloth of the present invention in firefighting operations for "large-scale fires under strong winds," it is essential to transport large quantities to the site by drone. The opening in the main body provides the fireproof cloth with not only water permeability but also ventilation capabilities, thus reducing the wind pressure the fireproof cloth experiences when transported by drone.

[0022] (4) Regarding the main body opening of the present invention, when a burning object is covered with the fireproof cloth of the present invention, there is a common concern that flame ejection or flame spurting may occur therefrom. Although this concern is necessary for determining the position, shape, size and whether to adopt a single-layer or multi-layer configuration of the main body opening during the production and design stage of the fireproof cloth, it can be simply and completely eliminated on site by using multiple fireproof cloths simultaneously or additionally, so it is an unnecessary concern. [Example]

[0023] A flat single-layer fireproof cloth of square shape with each side of about 2m manufactured from "fireproof material" is used as the fireproof cloth main body of the present invention, and a plurality of openings in the form of original linear cuts each having a length of about 5cm to about 20cm are formed at desired positions of the fireproof cloth main body, so that the fireproof cloth main body is formed into a configuration close to a grid shape or a blind shape, and each of said openings is defined as a main body opening.

[0024] Incidentally, it is desirable that the position, size and shape of each main body opening formed in the fireproof cloth main body of the fireproof cloth are determined while being aware of those of adjacent openings and the effects thereof, but basically they may be determined completely freely.

[0025] In the above embodiment of claim 1, while the "covered object" is covered with the fireproof cloth of the present invention, due to the water permeability of the main body opening formed in the fireproof cloth main body, there is an effect that "fire extinguishing liquid and the like" from "other fire fighting activities" performed simultaneously can directly reach the "covered object".

[0026] Furthermore, in the above embodiment of claim 1, each main body opening formed in the fireproof cloth main body of the present invention has not only water permeability but also air permeability, so due to said air permeability, there is an effect of reducing the wind pressure applied to the fireproof cloth during transportation by a drone, for which simultaneous use with other fireproof cloths is indispensable.

[0027] Furthermore, each main body opening formed in the fireproof cloth main body according to the above embodiment of claim 1 has an effect of enabling all or part of the peripheral edge of the bag-shaped fireproof cloth of claim 2 to be attached to all or part of the peripheral edge of each back surface thereof.

[0028] It should be noted that, when the fireproof cloth according to the above embodiment of claim 1 is used to cover a burning object, there is a common concern that flame gust may pass through the body openings. However, by taking measures such as reducing the size of the body openings when the fireproof cloth body is of a single-layer structure, or reducing the size of the body openings of the lower fireproof cloth when the fireproof cloth body is of a multi-layer structure, not only can flame gust be blocked, but flame gust can also be completely blocked by adding the bag-shaped fireproof cloth of the following claim 2. Even when the bag-shaped fireproof cloth of claim 2 is not added, the higher the number of constituent layers of the fireproof cloth body is, the higher the blocking effect will be. Therefore, if necessary, it is only required to adopt a multi-layer structure for the fireproof cloth body in the shape design stage, and only add additional fireproof cloths on site, so there is no need to worry about flame ejection. Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0029] The invention of claim 2 aims to address the issue that the fireproof cloth body of claim 1 includes not only a single-layer structure but also a multi-layer structure as part of the technical solution, and also addresses the problem that "existing fireproof cloths" do not have a structure capable of carrying a fire extinguisher in addition to fireproof measures. Means for Solving the Problem

[0030] As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention provides the technical solution of claim 2 directed to the shape of a fireproof cloth, which is characterized in that: all or part of each peripheral edge of an upper opening of a bag-shaped fireproof cloth made of a fireproof material and having a desired size and shape is respectively bonded to all or part of each peripheral edge of a back surface of each body opening provided in a single-layer fireproof cloth body; each opening of a desired size and shape that allows free ventilation and water passage is provided or not provided at a desired position of the bag-shaped fireproof cloth, and each provided opening is defined as a bag opening.

[0031] Incidentally, it is desirable that the position, size and shape of each bag opening provided in the bag-shaped fireproof cloth are determined while taking into account those of adjacent bag openings and their effects, but basically they may be determined completely freely. Effects of the Invention

[0032] Bonding the bag-shaped fireproof cloth to the fireproof cloth body according to the present invention provides the following effects.

[0033] The bag-shaped fireproof cloth, by its very existence, reinforces the opening of the main body and enhances the fireproof performance of the fireproof cloth itself. Therefore, it has the effect of completely blocking flames from entering through the opening of the main body, thus eliminating the need for a multi-layered structure for the fireproof cloth body as described in claim 1.

[0034] When an opening is made in the bag-shaped fireproof cloth, the bag-shaped fireproof cloth itself has the effect of allowing "fire extinguishing fluids, etc." from "other firefighting activities" carried out simultaneously to reach the "covered object" directly.

[0035] Furthermore, if an opening is made in the bag-shaped fireproof cloth, the opening has ventilation properties rather than water-permeability. Therefore, when transporting the fireproof cloth to the site using a drone, which is essential, the opening has the effect of reducing the wind pressure the fireproof cloth experiences.

[0036] If no opening is made in the bag-shaped fireproof cloth, the bag itself can retain "extinguishing fluids, etc." from "other firefighting activities" carried out simultaneously, which directly contributes to extinguishing sparks that spread from the source of the fire.

[0037] The fire-resistant cloth in this bag shape is designed to accommodate a fire extinguisher, and by mounting a fire extinguisher equipped with a remote-controlled receiving device (hereinafter abbreviated as "remote device") on it, it becomes possible to actively carry out fire-fighting operations on the covered object even while efforts are being made to prevent fires by covering the "covered object" with the fire-resistant cloth of the present invention. [Examples]

[0038] A flat, single-layer fireproof cloth made of "fireproofing material" is used as the fireproof cloth body, and circular openings with a diameter of approximately 3 cm are made at a desired number of locations on the fireproof cloth body of claim 1, with the periphery of each upper opening of each bag-shaped fireproof cloth, made of "fireproofing material" and approximately 2 cm deep, being adhered to all or part of the periphery of each body opening of the fireproof cloth body of claim 1, while no bag openings are made in the bag-shaped fireproof cloth.

[0039] A bag opening of a desired size and shape is made at a desired location in each of the bag-shaped fireproof cloths of embodiment (1)(1 / 3) of the above-mentioned [Claim 2].

[0040] The shape of each bag-shaped fireproof cloth in the embodiment (1)(1 / 3) of claim 2 above is made such that a fire extinguisher with a remote-controlled fire extinguishing liquid nozzle can be mounted on it, and each bag-shaped fireproof cloth is provided with openings that match the nozzle.

[0041] First, when the bag-shaped fireproof cloth of the present invention is bonded, the fireproof performance of the opening of the main body is reinforced by the presence of the bag-shaped fireproof cloth itself, thus eliminating the need for a multi-layered structure for the fireproof cloth body of claim 1. Next, since no opening is made in the bag-shaped fireproof cloth, "extinguishing fluids, etc." from "other fire prevention activities" carried out simultaneously can accumulate in the bag-shaped fireproof cloth, which has the effect of potentially directly contributing to extinguishing sparks that spread from the source of the fire.

[0042] First, when a bag-shaped fireproof cloth is attached to the fireproof cloth body of the present invention, the fireproof performance of the opening of the body is reinforced by the presence of the bag-shaped fireproof cloth itself, thus eliminating the need for a multi-layered structure for the fireproof cloth body of claim 1.

[0043] Next, the opening in the bag-shaped fireproof cloth has the effect of allowing "fire extinguishing fluids, etc." from "other firefighting activities" carried out simultaneously to reach the "covered object" directly.

[0044] First, when a bag-shaped fireproof cloth is attached to the fireproof cloth body of the present invention, the fireproof performance of the opening of the body is reinforced by the presence of the bag-shaped fireproof cloth itself, thus eliminating the need for a multi-layered structure for the fireproof cloth body of claim 1.

[0045] Next, since a fire extinguisher can be mounted on this bag-shaped fireproof cloth, mounting a fire extinguisher with a remote-controlled nozzle on it allows for active firefighting and fire prevention activities using the fire extinguisher while the fireproof cloth of the present invention covers all or part of the "covered object." Problems to be solved by the invention

[0046] The present invention addresses the new problems that have emerged with fireproof cloth, such as the problem of mass transport by drone, the problem of miniaturization of fireproof cloth, the problem of joining fireproof cloth at the site of use, the problem of moving fireproof cloth, and the problem of collecting fireproof cloth, based on the inventions of claims 1 and 2. The objective is to find a method that can contribute to the efficient use of fireproof cloth that can address these various problems.

[0047] The present invention provides, as a means to contribute to the efficient use of fireproof cloth, the installation of an electromagnet with a "remote control device," which is part of a known "existing article" that has been almost completely unrelated to fireproof cloth until now, as the means of [Claim 3]. Effects of the invention

[0048] Electromagnets with "remote control devices" attached to desired locations on the fireproof cloth body and the bag-shaped fireproof cloth allow for the connection or separation of multiple fireproof cloths covering the same "covered object," for example, simultaneously or at different times, upon receiving their operation at the site of use. This improves the effectiveness of fireproof cloth coverage, thereby increasing the efficiency of simultaneous use of fireproof cloths and consequently allowing for the miniaturization of fireproof cloths to facilitate transport by drone. [Examples]

[0049] Electromagnets with "remote control devices" are retrofitted to the fireproof cloth by attaching them to various desired locations on the surface and / or back of the fireproof cloth.

[0050] An electromagnet with a "remote control device" is retrofitted to part or all of the openings of the main body and / or the bag openings. Effect of the embodiment

[0051] The electromagnet with a remote control device in embodiment (1)(1 / 2) of claim 3 allows for the coupling and uncoupling of multiple fireproof cloths by receiving operation signals from the remote control device at a firefighting site, thus improving the purpose of covering "covered objects" with fireproof cloth.

[0052] The "electromagnet with remote control device" of embodiment (1)(1 / 2) of claim 3 has the effect of allowing for miniaturization of the fireproof cloth when transporting the fireproof cloth by drone.

[0053] The electromagnet with a remote control device in embodiment (2)(2 / 2) of claim 3 has the effect of being able to adjust the size of each opening by receiving the operation of the remote control device, thereby allowing the breathability and water permeability of the fireproof cloth to be adjusted according to the wind pressure when transporting the fireproof cloth, the conditions of the fire site, and / or the covering state of the fireproof cloth.

[0054] The present invention proposes a fireproof cloth to be used in firefighting operations for large-scale fires under strong winds. Therefore, it is essential to provide the fireproof cloth with a locking device that can withstand strong winds and hold the fireproof cloth in the desired position. While known locking devices are sufficient for this purpose, firefighting operations may require the movement of the fireproof cloth, and since a large quantity of fireproof cloth is used, its recovery must also be considered. From these perspectives, the locking device needs a release function when moving and / or recovering the fireproof cloth. Therefore, depending on the fireproof cloth usage plan, the attachment of a "remote control device" to the locking device should also be considered.

[0055] Since firefighting operations for "large-scale fires under strong winds" require the use of a wide variety of fireproof cloths based on the present invention and "existing fireproof cloths," their manufacture, storage, and use must not only be based on plans from a national perspective, but also, for example, regarding the manufacturing materials and materials used for fireproof cloths, consideration should be given to using paint during and / or after the manufacture of the fireproof cloths to improve the efficiency of various operations such as fire prevention, firefighting, recovery, and storage, or to using items such as barrels made of wood or bamboo to allow for natural return after use in firefighting operations, or to selecting materials that react to electromagnets attached to the towing end of drones used for recovery operations.
