  • GB-A-1 191 449 describes the use of remote controlled Extinguishing devices for large fires, where due to the development of heat People are not sufficiently close to the fire site can achieve, where, as far as the extinguishing agent delivery, in essentially a manual control via visual control of the operator People. For automation there is only the center of the radiant heat is detected.
  • the beginning of the deletion process poses a particular problem in which the extinguishing agent jet is directed at the target.
  • An exact setup to the target is done iteratively, by the operator determining the area of impact of the extinguishing agent jet observed and corrected accordingly to the target.
  • the extinguishing agent reservoir limited, so a particular disadvantage of this way of working is that at first a not insignificant part of the extinguishing agent supply only during the target-finding phase is used uselessly.

  • the fire truck 1 via a device 6 for detecting the source of the fire 4, this is symbolic with a targeting beacon or a stereoscopic distance measuring system 7 indicated.
  • the target acquisition device 6 which may be stereoscopic Video camera can be equipped, that will Target, i.e. the source of the fire 4, shown on the monitor 9.
  • Target i.e. the source of the fire 4
  • the system points to the target device and for actuating and guiding the extinguishing agent jet 3 a number of components.
  • Essentials Elements are sensors for detecting the fire point 4, here only symbolically as spectral image processing 12 indicated, sensors 13 for detecting the Vehicle movement and sensors to record environmental conditions, such as temperature, wind direction, air humidity u.
  • sensors 13 for detecting the Vehicle movement and sensors to record environmental conditions, such as temperature, wind direction, air humidity u.
  • the target acquisition itself is in the operator panel 8 as the target acquisition 16 symbolizes.
  • the operator can preselect the beam shape and beam movement, what is indicated by a symbol field 17, too the type of extinguishing agent can be predetermined, this is designated 18, especially if the fire truck has different types of extinguishing agent.
  • a field 18 is also the pure triggering of the Extinguishing agent ejection, i.e. the activation of the extinguishing agent pumps or the completion of operator input, symbolized.
  • the system delivers the extinguishing agent only released if the target is within the calculated range.
  • Fig. 2 it is also indicated that corrections have been made be it, be it in the calculations that be carried out by the system, or be it that the corrections based on their own experience considers appropriate.
  • the facility also makes it possible to separate main fire zones from secondary fire zones to distinguish and delete the tactical Movements including the corresponding delivery of extinguishing agents adapt and automate.
  • a special advantage is that fire-fighting robots are used can be because of the movements of the vehicle even in determining the physical trajectory of the Extinguishing media and the range determination taking into account of the pump and monitor maps included can be.
  • the change in position of the fire truck can be included in the same way, like changing the position of a fire front.
  • the system can also be conveniently equipped with data acquisition and data documentation to be successful Fire-fighting the data determined when extinguishing if necessary to determine the cause of the fire can.
  • Fig. 3 shows an example of fire fighting and cooling a plant fire from a moving or stationary one Base off.
  • Control input parameters are here - in addition to the climatic influences (wind etc.) the beam shape (S) and the beam movement (SB), that affect the range (R).
  • S beam shape
  • SB beam movement
  • R range
  • the example assumes that an area of the object using a spray extinguish and then by an oscillating and circulating full jet cooling is going to end with an oscillating Flat jet to wet the entire object.
