Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spray head for sprinkler systems.
  • a pipe socket that can be connected to a pipe network for extinguishing agents and a closure element facing the space to be protected, that closes an extinguishing agent outlet opening in the pipe socket and opens through exposure to heat.
  • sprinkler systems For the fire protection of rooms in passenger ships, department stores, public buildings and industrial plants are sprinkler systems prescribed, which in the event of fire automatically water or spray another extinguishing agent into the area to be protected and contain a fire in the room or at best extinguish it should.
  • the sprinkler systems usually consist of a the network of pipes laid in the ceiling of the room, in the pipes Spray heads are screwed into the space to be protected protrude and are closed by closure elements that open as soon as the temperature in the room to be protected exceeds a predetermined maximum, usually 68 ° C.
  • EP-A-597 564 describes a spray head for sprinkler systems with one to one Pipe for extinguishing agent connectable pipe socket and one to protective space facing closure member known, the one Extinguishing agent outlet opening in the pipe socket closes and through Exposure to heat opens, including an extinguishing agent indicator that Extinguishing agent is applied from inside the pipe socket and is perceptible from the area to be protected.
  • the inside of the Pipe socket is not through a control channel with the Extinguishing agent indicator connected.
  • DE-C-867 952 is a liquid level and pressure indicator, especially known for fire extinguishers, which discloses channels used in Connected to the housing, which is the liquid level visible sight glass and one against the sight glass pressing spindle of a pressure piston revealed. This document sets however, it is not close to a control channel inside a pipe socket of sprinklers to be arranged so that a connection to the Extinguishing agent indicator is given.
  • a pressure indicator for fire extinguishers is known from DE-A-1 708 107, at which the device pressure acts on a membrane or a bellows and thereby a spring pin against the Spring pressure is moved in the axial direction.
  • Evidence that such Solution would be transferable to a spray head for sprinkler systems Document cannot be removed.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a spray head for sprinkler systems trained in the beginning so that at any time from protective space can be easily checked whether the the relevant spray head is acted upon by the extinguishing agent and is ready for operation is.
  • the monitoring device must be for everyone Spray head can be manufactured very easily and inexpensively and also over many Be reliable for years.
  • Such an extinguishing agent indicator shows at any time whether it is equipped spray head is operational without the spray head from the Pipe network must be removed or partially destroyed.
  • the extinguishing agent indicator can be connected to the closure element stand. However, it is particularly useful if the inside of the Pipe socket with the extinguishing agent indicator through a control channel is connected so that the extinguishing agent is immediately on the Extinguishing agent indicator can act.
  • the control channel expediently points a hole in the base of a bracket for the Closure element is located and in which the extinguishing agent indicator is arranged. This is the extinguishing agent indicator protected and can also be transported and the assembly of the spray head are not damaged.
  • the extinguishing agent indicator can be a dye, for example Litmus, or phenolphthalein, which is in contact with the Extinguishing media changes color or color intensity. If the control channel is facing the room to be protected End is closed by a sight glass, can by this sight glass the color change of the extinguishing agent indicator easily noticed from the outside and whether the spray head is supplied with extinguishing agent and is ready for use.
  • the sight glass can be opened its inside facing the control channel with the Extinguishing agent indicator provided, for example, vaporized or coated his. This means that the extinguishing agent indicator cannot be lost connected to the spray head and for decades functioning.
  • the Extinguishing agent indicator also have a pressure display device, so that it can be determined at any time whether the spray head is under the pressure of the extinguishing agent.
  • the pressure indicator can be a spring-loaded indicator pin be located in the control channel and from a pressurized extinguishing agent partially in the protective space is pushed out. You can then go from that too protective space from exactly on the above indicator pins recognize which of the individual spray heads one in a room arranged sprinkler system are ready for operation and which Not.
  • the spray head can itself can also be equipped with a manometer, which in the Control channel is built in such a way that its display of the monitoring room is recognizable.
  • the extinguishing agent indicator to provide each spray head with an electrical pressure sensor, the outside of the room to be monitored the spray head connections for external measuring and monitoring devices having. With these monitoring devices can then Fire traps are also determined in what order the Address the spray heads of a sprinkler system. If you draw this Order on, can be tracked after extinguishing the fire, how the brand developed. From this you can subsequently valuable conclusions about the cause of the fire and the Draw fire hazard to certain rooms and room arrangements.
  • 10 denotes a spray head, which in a pipe, not shown, of a sprinkler system is screwed in, usually in the ceiling of a fire to be protected space is arranged and a variety of Contains spray heads.
  • the spray head 10 consists of a pipe socket 11 with external thread 12 and from a holder 13 for a closure element 14.
  • the pipe socket 11 can be in a suitable Threaded pipe connection of the sprinkler system screwed in be and is with a base plate 15 of the bracket 13 firmly connected.
  • the base plate 15 of the holder 13 has one with the interior 16 of the pipe socket aligned, central opening 17, in which the socket 18 of the closure element 14 is inserted.
  • On their underside 20 facing the space 19 to be protected the base plate 15 a closed bracket 21, at the a spray plate 23 is attached to the lower apex 22.
  • the Spray plate 23 is in the bottom view, in the direction of arrow 24 seen, circular and carries several, in the outer circumference Distance from each other extending slats in the radial direction.
  • the closure element 14 is in the illustrated embodiment a closed glass tube with its top end in the version 18 sits and with its lower end on Vertex piece 22 of the bracket 21 supports.
  • the glass tube of the Closure element 14 is with exposure to heat highly expanding liquid filled and bursting when the Temperature in the space to be protected 19 a predetermined Value, for example 68 ° C, exceeds.
  • Spray heads of the type described above are generally known and are used in large numbers in sprinkler systems.
  • an extinguishing agent indicator 25 which is from the inside 16 of the pipe socket 11 is charged with extinguishing agent and perceptible or accessible from the space 19 to be protected is.
  • a control channel in the base 15 of the holder 13 29 arranged from the opening 17 in the Base plate 15 extends radially outwards and extends in the Proximity of the outer peripheral surface 28 of the base plate 15 to one Indicator chamber 26 expanded.
  • This indicator chamber 26 is at the embodiment of FIG. 1 of a blind bore with an internal thread 27 formed from the outer peripheral surface 28th extends radially inward and through the control channel 29 and the opening 17 in the base plate 15 with the interior 16 of the Pipe socket 11 is connected.
  • a sight glass is in the internal thread 27 of the indicator chamber 26 30 screwed in, the hemispherical surface is transparent and over the outer peripheral surface 28 of the base plate 15 protrudes.
