Extinguishing Agent Container with Piston Plate Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing extinguishing agent containers face challenges during transport due to high-pressure requirements or pyrotechnic elements, and they often suffer from incomplete emptying, which is constructively driven.
Innovation Solution
The proposed extinguishing agent container features a pressure tank with a piston plate that divides the container cavity into an extinguishing agent room and a pressure medium room, allowing for easy transport under atmospheric pressure without pyrotechnic elements and ensuring complete emptying through a designed fluid outlet system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If conventional extinguishing agent containers are pressurized to high pressure, then the extinguishing agent can be dispensed effectively, but transport becomes problematic and restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The container is divided into two separate chambers: a first chamber for the extinguishing agent and a second chamber for the pressurizing agent. This segmentation allows the extinguishing agent chamber to be transported at atmospheric pressure while the pressurizing agent chamber provides the necessary pressure for dispensing when activated, thus resolving the contradiction between transportability and dispensing capability.
2Power
If conventional extinguishing agent containers are designed with pyrotechnic elements, then the extinguishing agent can be released effectively, but transport restrictions and safety issues arise
Solution Approach 1:
The pyrotechnic element is completely removed from the system and replaced with a mechanical pressurizing mechanism. The second chamber contains a pressurizing agent that mechanically pushes the piston plate to dispense the extinguishing agent without any pyrotechnic combustion, eliminating transport restrictions while maintaining effective agent release capability.
3Quantity of substance
If conventional extinguishing agent containers are designed for complete emptying, then the extinguishing agent is fully utilized, but the design becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves complete emptying through the natural action of the pressurizing agent in the second chamber. When the pressurizing agent expands or is released, it automatically pushes the piston plate to its full extent, ensuring all extinguishing agent is dispensed without requiring complex additional mechanisms or controls.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This design facilitates safe and efficient transport of extinguishing agents and ensures complete utilization of the agent by maintaining atmospheric pressure during transport and using a piston plate system for thorough emptying.
Implementation Method 1
