[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Portable device for the prevention and suppression of fire and CBRN threats

[0003] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present invention relates generally to devices for preventing fire and CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) threats and for suppressing explosions.

[0005] In particular, the present invention relates to a device for the prevention of fire and CBRN threats and the suppression of explosions, which is portable and mobile with its structure, and at the same time offers safe use with its multi-functional gradual activation mechanism.

[0006] STATE OF THE ART

[0007] Today, various devices and equipment are used to prevent chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats and to suppress explosions. The purposes and shortcomings of some of these mentioned devices and equipment are given below.

[0008] Standard fire extinguishing devices: These devices are foam, powder, carbon dioxide or water-based and are used to control fires. However, these devices do not have a protection function against chemical, biological or radiological threats. In these fire extinguishing systems, the spraying of extinguishing material is provided by pressurized gas, and this gas is stored under pressure. However, these systems may lose their effectiveness over time as the stored gas loses pressure.

[0009] Industrial fire extinguishing systems: These systems, better known as sprinklers, are automatically activated when a fire is detected and extinguish the fire by spraying water. These systems are fixed systems that can only be used where they are installed and are ineffective against CBRN threats. These equipment are gas masks and various protective clothing. These equipment provide personal protection of individuals against CBRN threats. However, these equipment provide passive protection and do not have the function of preventing and suppressing active threats.

[0010] Military fire suppression and decontamination systems: Mobile decontamination units used in the military are used to clean large areas against chemical and biological threats. However, since these systems are large and heavy, they are not practical in situations that require rapid response.

[0011] When the systems and equipment used in the current technique are evaluated, it is seen that there are no integrated systems that offer both fire extinguishing features and functions to prevent CBRN threats. At the same time, the systems used do not provide fast and flexible intervention in emergency situations because they are fixed or large and heavy. Additionally, many systems used require an energy source. This situation prevents the mobile use of the systems in all areas.

[0012] Some documents were found in the research on the known state of the technique. Document number TR2024 / 006338 relates to a filtration system developed to detect and protect against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats. In this document, a filtration system is discussed to protect one or more users in a closed environment from chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats observed outside the closed environment. However, the system mentioned in this document only aims to prevent the air inside the closed environment from being affected by the air of the outside environment. The structure described in this document does not ensure the complete prevention of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats and the suppression of detonations.

[0013] Document number WO2013191528A1 relates to portable fire extinguisher. This document describes a fire extinguisher which is essentially a closed chamber communicating with the outside environment through an opening fabricated at one end of the tubular housing. However, the configuration mentioned in this document is only used for extinguishing fires, similar to the fire extinguishers mentioned in the current technique, and is not suitable for preventing CBRN threats. As a result, improvements are being made in the devices and equipment used to protect against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats, so new structures are needed that will eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above and bring solutions to existing systems.

[0014] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The present invention relates to a fire and CBRN threat prevention device that meets the above-mentioned requirements, eliminates all disadvantages and brings some additional advantages.

[0016] The main object of the present invention is to present a device that provides both fire extinguishing functions and the prevention of CBRN threats and suppression of explosions.

[0017] One object of the present invention is to provide a mobile device that can be used in any area, can be carried by hand, can be integrated into vehicles or robots or unmanned crossing vehicles, thus providing fast and flexible intervention.

[0018] Another object of the present invention is to provide a device that eliminates the dependence on the energy source during use and enables use in environments where there is no energy source.

[0019] Another object of the present invention is that the device can be used with different chemicals to provide concealment and blocking features. In this way, blocking at wide wavelengths is ensured.

[0020] Another object of the present invention is to enable different functions to be fulfilled by changing the chemical substances used in the device. When pharmaceutical chemicals are added to the device's ejection system, it also gains the feature of disinfestation. Another object of the present invention is that the device uses solid fuel to mobilize chemical materials. The feature of solid fuel is that it maintains its effectiveness for many years and functions stably without loss of pressure. In this way, it is ensured that there is no loss of performance even when the device is not used for a long time.

Said device has a tubular body (1). Said body (1) is made of durable and lightweight materials, facilitating portability and mobile use. One end of the device body (1) is closed, and there is a discharge port (4) at the other end. Fire extinguishing powder (5) and decontamination powder (6) positioned within the body (1) are sprayed from the discharge port (4). Fire extinguishing powder (5) ensures that the fire is quickly taken under control and suppressed. Decontamination powder (6) ensures the neutralization of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats. Fire extinguishing powder (5) is preferably positioned in the part of the body (1) close to the discharge port (4). The decontamination powder (6) is positioned behind the fire extinguishing powder (5), at the rear of the body (1). During the first stage of preventing threats, fire extinguishing powder (5) is sprayed to control the fire situation. After the fire extinguishing powder (5) is sprayed and the fire is extinguished, decontamination powder (6) is sprayed to neutralize fire and CBRN threats. Again, inside the body (1) and preferably at the back of the decontamination powder (6), there is an energy element (7) that provides the energy required for the operation of the device. Said energy element (7) is preferably solid fuel.

[0049] In order to enable the use of the device of the invention, a front handle (2) is positioned on the body (1) close to the discharge port (4) and a rear handle (3) is positioned further back. Said front handle (2) and rear handle (3) enable said device to be easily carried and guided during use. Preferably, there is an activation mechanism on the rear handle (3) that works in one or more stages to ensure the operation of the device. The said activation mechanism consists of a trigger element (8) and an activation element (10). The activation element (10) can be a manual pin mechanism or an automatic electronic key system. There is a trigger transmission element (9) that connects between the trigger element (8) and the activation element (10) and ensures transmission. The device is activated and operates by pressing the trigger element (8) or activation element (10).
