[0019] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0020] The detailed description disclosed below, together with the attached drawings, is intended to describe exemplary embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to represent the only embodiment in which the present invention can be practiced.

[0021] In order to clearly explain the invention in the drawings, parts unrelated to the explanation may be omitted, and the same reference numerals may be used for identical or similar components throughout the specification.

[0022] In embodiments of the present invention, expressions such as “or”, “at least one”, etc. may represent one of the words listed together or a combination of two or more.

[0023] In the embodiments of the present invention below, the size, thickness, and shape of each component are illustrated in an exaggerated manner for convenience of explanation, and the actual safety belt equipped with a fire extinguishing device may have different sizes and shapes.

[0024] Additionally, the connection structure of the illustrated wiring is depicted in a simplified manner for convenience, and different connection forms may be applied. Although the upper, lower, and side parts are indicated based on specific components, this is for the convenience of explanation and may be interpreted as a direction different from the designated direction depending on the rotation or arrangement of the device.

[0025] Hereinafter, a safety belt equipped with a fire extinguishing device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a safety belt equipped with a fire extinguishing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a drawing showing a belt according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a drawing showing a rope and a conveying part according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a drawing showing a gripping part according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0027] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the safety belt (100) equipped with the fire extinguishing device of the present invention is configured to include a belt (110), a rope (120), a gripping part (130), a storage part (140), and a transport part (150).

[0028] First, the belt (110) is configured to be worn on the body by a worker and may consist of an upper fixing part (111), a waist support part (112), and a lower fixing part (113).

[0029] The upper fixing part (111) can be provided in the shape of a pair of rings so as to be fixed to both shoulders of the worker and arranged to cross each other behind the worker's back.

[0030] The waist support (112) is connected to the lower end of the upper fixing part (111) and is provided in the shape of a belt that wraps around the worker's waist, and may be provided with connecting parts formed at both ends that can be mutually connected.

[0031] The lower fixing part (113) may be provided as a pair extending from the lower ends of both sides of the waist support part (112) to wrap around each of the worker's legs.

[0032] That is, a pair of lower fixing parts (113) are fixed to each of the worker's legs, a pair of upper fixing parts (111) are worn on both shoulders, and the waist support part (112) is wrapped around the worker's waist to connect the parts, thereby easily fixing it to the worker's body.

[0033] In one embodiment, the waist support (112) may be omitted. In this case, the lower end of the upper fixing part (111) is connected to the lower fixing part (113), and the upper fixing part (111) is fixed to both legs of the worker by the lower fixing part (113).

[0034] The shape of the belt (110) of the present invention described above is for one embodiment and is not limited thereto; any shape that can be easily worn by a worker can be applied.

[0035] Next, the rope (120) is configured to be connected at the point where the upper fixing part (111) of the belt (110) intersects, and can be provided as a pair of a first rope (121) and a second rope (122) so that a worker can use one in each hand.

[0036] Next, the gripping part (130) is provided at the end of the rope (120) and performs the function of gripping the structure of the workplace so that the worker's body is supported by the rope (120).

[0037] For example, the gripping part (130) can be provided in a hook shape that can be easily caught on a structure in the workplace to prevent safety accidents such as falling during work.

[0038] However, the shape of the gripping part (130) is not limited to the hook shape described above, and can be modified and transformed into various forms of functional members having different functions as needed.

[0039] This gripping part (130) may include detailed configurations of a spray nozzle (134) and a cover member (133).

[0040] The spray nozzle (134) is formed such that its internal space is connected from the other end of the conveying part (150) to the outside of the gripping part (130), and functions to spray the fire extinguishing agent conveyed through the conveying part (150) to the outside.

[0041] The cover member (133) is provided in a form that covers the spray nozzle (134) so ​​that the spray nozzle (134) is blocked from the outside, and performs the function of selectively opening and closing the spray nozzle (134) when necessary.

[0042] For example, the cover member (133) may be provided to be movable on a guide rail (not shown) provided along the side of the body of the gripping member (130), and accordingly, when the fire extinguishing device is operated, it may slide on the side of the body of the gripping member (130) to expose the spray nozzle (134) to the outside.

[0043] At this time, the cover member (133) may be provided so as to be detachably attached to the body of the gripping part (130).

[0044] Next, the storage unit (140) is provided at the point where the upper fixing unit (111) of the belt (110) intersects and is connected to the rope (120), and a fire extinguishing agent and compressed gas are stored inside.

[0045] The compressed gas may be carbon dioxide (CO2) or nitrogen (N2), etc., to help spray the fire extinguishing agent in the storage unit (140).

[0046] In addition, when using a powder extinguishing agent, fine powders such as sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate may be used, and the agent may be configured to be ejected through gas pressure.

[0047] At this time, since the powder fire extinguishing agent may solidify when reacting with moisture, it can be used after being treated with a moisture-proof process using metal stearate or silicone resin to prevent this.

[0048] Fire extinguishing agents composed of such powder are highly effective against surface fires of flammable liquids due to the blocking effect of radiant heat by the powder mist, the catalytic effect, and the suffocating effect caused by the generated non-combustible gas; additionally, since the powder is a non-conductor, it has the advantage of being effective against electrical fires as well.

[0049] In addition, depending on the implementation conditions, water (H2O) may be used as a liquid extinguishing agent, or carbon dioxide, Halon gas, etc. may be used as a gaseous extinguishing agent.

[0050] The shape of the storage unit (140) can be freely selected and applied to any shape that is generally widely used, in addition to the shape shown in FIG. 1.

[0051] Next, the conveying section (150) is formed along the longitudinal direction inside the rope (120), and one end is connected to the inside of the storage section (140) to function to convey the fire extinguishing agent to the gripping section (130) described above.

[0052] In one embodiment, the transfer unit (150) may be provided with a pair of first transfer lines (151) and second transfer lines (152) respectively inside the first rope (121) and the second rope (122).

[0053] At this time, both the first transfer line (151) and the second transfer line (152) are provided to transfer the fire extinguishing agent from the storage unit (140) to the gripping unit (130), and can be provided so that a worker can hold and use them with both hands.

[0054] In addition, as needed, the first transfer line (151) may be configured to transfer compressed gas from a separately provided gas tank to the storage unit (140), and the second transfer line (152) may be configured to transfer a fire extinguishing agent discharged from the storage unit (140) to the holding unit (130) by the gas pressure introduced into the storage unit (140).

[0055] A detailed explanation of the method for transporting fire extinguishing agents will be provided later.

[0056] As the safety belt (100) equipped with the fire extinguishing device of the present invention is formed with the above-described configuration, it is formed integrally with the safety belt (110) that is most basically worn by a worker during work, thereby having the advantage of not requiring separate equipment.

[0057] In addition, since it can be used immediately and quickly through simple operation without the need to locate and transport a fire extinguisher in the event of a fire, it is highly effective for initial fire suppression.

[0058] Above, we have examined the configuration of a safety belt equipped with a fire extinguishing device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] By using a safety belt equipped with a fire extinguishing device according to one embodiment of the present invention described above, fire extinguishing operations can be performed in the following manner.

[0060] FIG. 5 is a drawing showing a safety belt equipped with a fire extinguishing device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 5, the safety belt equipped with the fire extinguishing device of the present invention can be operated in a pressure-accumulating manner.

[0062] In one embodiment, the gripping portion (130) is composed of a first body (131) connected at the other end of the transfer portion (150) and a second body (132) connecting the first body (131) and the spray nozzle (134), and the internal spaces of the transfer portion (150), the first body (131), the second body (132), and the spray nozzle (134) may be arranged to be connected to each other.

[0063] At this time, compressed gas is stored inside the storage unit along with the fire extinguishing agent, and the interior of the storage unit is maintained at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure due to the gas pressure of the compressed gas.

[0064] However, the first body (131) and the second body (132) are arranged so that their internal passages are separated from each other and their internal spaces are blocked before the fire extinguishing device is operated, so that the fire extinguishing agent is filled into the first body (131) of the holding part (130) along the transfer part (150) from the storage part and is blocked from the second body (132).

[0065] Here, the first body (131) may be provided to have a receiving groove in which the second body (132) is received.

[0066] That is, when the second body (132) is fully inserted into the receiving groove of the first body (131) by an external force, the interiors of the first body (131) and the second body (132) become connected to each other.

[0067] This operation can be performed by the operator opening the aforementioned cover member (133) to expose the spray nozzle (134) and the second body (132) to the outside of the gripping part (130), and then applying pressure to the first body (131) so that it is fully inserted into the receiving groove.

[0068] Accordingly, the fire extinguishing agent filled in the internal space of the first body (131) by the gas pressure of the compressed gas can be transferred to the second body (132) and sprayed out through the spray nozzle (134).

[0069] As the safety belt equipped with the fire extinguishing device of the present invention is provided in the aforementioned accumulator type, the fire extinguishing agent can be simply sprayed by a worker pressing the second body (132), thereby having the advantage of improved ease of use.

[0070] In addition, there is an advantage in that, after fire suppression is completed, when the force pressing the second body (132) of the gripping part (130) is released, the second body (132) returns to its original position by providing an elastic member in the receiving groove, thereby blocking the internal space between the first body (131) and the second body (132) from each other and stopping the fire suppression operation.

[0071] The structure for connecting and blocking the internal space of the first body (131) and the second body (132) is not limited to what has been described above, and various modifications and variations may be possible in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.

[0072] However, the configuration of the gripping part according to one embodiment of the present invention is not limited to what has been described above, and since it is provided with various structures as follows, the extinguishing operation can be performed through various extinguishing methods.

[0073] FIG. 6 is a drawing showing a safety belt equipped with a fire extinguishing device according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is an enlarged drawing of the gripping portion of FIG. 6.

[0074] Referring to FIGS. 6 and FIGS. 7, in another embodiment, the safety belt equipped with the fire extinguishing device of the present invention may be provided in a pressurized manner.

[0075] In the corresponding embodiment, a pressure member (161) may be further included, which is rotatably coupled to one side of the first body (131) by a hinge structure and is provided to contact the end of the second body (132).

[0076] At this time, the rope is composed of a pair of a first rope and a second rope, and the transport section may be composed of a first transport line (151) connecting the storage section (140) and the first body (131) inside the first rope and a second transport line (152) connecting the storage section (140) and the first body (131) inside the second rope.

[0077] Additionally, the present invention may further include a configuration of a storage tank (162) in which compressed gas is stored, which is configured to be connected to the interior of the second body (132) of the gripping part (130) to which the first transfer line (151) is connected.

[0078] At this time, only the fire extinguishing agent is stored in the storage unit (140), and the compressed gas is stored in the storage tank (162) described above, and the internal space of the storage tank (162) is maintained in a state separated from the interior of the first body (131) of the gripping unit (130) before the operation of the pressurizing member (161).

[0079] Here, in the case of the gripping part (130) connected to the first transfer line (151), a pressurizing member (161) is coupled to the first body (131) and a storage tank (162) is provided in the second body (132), and only a spray nozzle is provided in the first body (131) of the gripping part (130) connected to the second transfer line (152).

[0080] That is, when the present invention includes the above-described configurations, when a worker presses the other side of the pressurizing member (161) toward the second body (132) in the event of a fire, the second body (132) is pushed by the pressurizing member (161) and moves in the direction of the pressurization, so that the internal passages of the first body (131) and the second body (132) are connected to each other.

[0081] Accordingly, the compressed gas inside the storage tank (162) is discharged to the first body (131) by gas pressure and is transferred to the storage section (140) along the first transfer line (151), thereby pushing out the fire extinguishing agent filled in the storage section (140).

[0082] The fire extinguishing agent is transferred from the storage unit (140) to the holding unit (130) along the second transfer line and sprayed out through the spray nozzle.

[0083] That is, in the corresponding embodiment, the directions of movement of the compressed gas and the extinguishing agent are arranged to be opposite to each other, and a pair of gripping parts (130) can each perform independent functions of discharging the compressed gas and spraying the extinguishing agent.

[0084] As an example, the pressure member (161) may be provided inside the cover member of the gripping part (130) described above, and when the cover member slides along the side of the main body of the gripping part (130) and the spray nozzle is exposed to the outside, the operator may be provided to hold the end of the cover member and apply pressure to the pressure member (161).

[0085] In addition, as an example, the cover member may be provided to simultaneously perform the function of the pressure member (161).

[0086] In this case, the cover member slides from the side of the main body of the gripping part (130) to come into contact with the second body (132), and when a worker holds the cover member and presses the second body (132), the second body (132) is pushed out so as to communicate with the internal space of the first body (131).

[0087] FIG. 8 is a drawing showing a safety belt equipped with a fire extinguishing device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0088] Referring to FIG. 8, the safety belt equipped with the fire extinguishing device of the present invention may be operated in a pressure-accumulating manner different from the aforementioned embodiment.

[0089] In another embodiment, the internal space of the gripping part (130) may be arranged to always be connected to the internal space of the transfer part (150).

[0090] At this time, the present invention may further include a configuration of a pulling member (163) that is connected to a closing member that closes the opening of the storage unit (140), passes through the interior of the transfer unit (150), and is pulled out to the outside of the gripping unit (130).

[0091] For example, the pulling member (163) may be provided with a thread, string, etc., connected to a closing member that closes the opening of the storage unit (140).

[0092] Additionally, a ring or handle may be provided at the end of the externally pulled-out pulling member (163) to make it easier for a worker to grasp, and as the ring is grasped and pulled from the outside, the closing member is pulled out in the direction of the pull, thereby opening the storage unit (140).

[0093] At this time, compressed gas is stored along with a fire extinguishing agent inside the storage unit (140), and when the pulling member (163) is pulled, the opening of the storage unit (140) is opened so that the fire extinguishing agent stored inside the storage unit (140) is transferred along the transfer unit (150) to the gripping unit (130) and sprayed to the outside through the spray nozzle (134).

[0094] As the safety belt equipped with the fire extinguishing device of the present invention is provided in the aforementioned accumulator type, the fire extinguishing agent can be simply sprayed by a worker pulling the pulling member (163), thereby having the advantage of improved ease of use.

[0095] In addition, once the pulling member (163) is operated, the fire extinguishing agent is automatically sprayed until the gas pressure of the storage unit (140) becomes equal to atmospheric pressure without applying or maintaining any additional force.

[0096] The structure and form of opening the opening of the storage unit (140) to transfer the fire extinguishing agent to the holding unit (130) through the transfer unit (150) is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and variations are possible in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.

[0097] Using a safety belt equipped with a fire extinguishing device according to one embodiment of the present invention described above can provide the following advantages.

[0098] Conventional fire extinguishers have problems such as poor accessibility and ease of use, and reduced speed in the initial suppression of fires, as users must go to the location where they are placed, carry the heavy extinguisher, and transport it to the scene of the fire to extinguish it.

[0099] On the other hand, the safety belt equipped with the fire extinguishing device of the present invention has the advantage of not requiring separate equipment, as the fire extinguishing device is integrally formed on the safety belt that is most fundamentally worn by a worker during work, and has the effect of being easy to carry and transport.

[0100] In addition, in the event of a fire, it offers the significant advantage of being able to be used immediately and quickly through simple operation without the need to locate and transport a fire extinguisher, making it highly beneficial for initial fire suppression.

[0101] The embodiments of the invention disclosed in this specification and drawings are provided merely as specific examples to facilitate the explanation of the technical content of the invention and to aid in understanding the invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
