Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for fighting fires using an extinguishing agent launcher, in particular an extinguishing agent nozzle of a hand-held extinguishing device, an extinguishing agent jet being released when an activation element is actuated, and to a device in particular for carrying out the method.
- extinguishing powder ejecting nozzles are often equipped with a funnel widening outwards in order to generate a powder cloud. If extinguishing is carried out with a jet, the person using the hand-held extinguishing device must carry out swiveling movements to increase the extinguishing effect, or must try in another way to atomize the extinguishing agent jet when a larger area is to be coated with extinguishing agent.
- DE-U-1 782 540 DE-A-1 948 510 or US-5 344 080 nozzles are known with which different jet designs are possible, in particular with regard to personal protection, for example in Art a "personal protective shower".
- An optimization of the deletion process itself, i.e. the extinguishing process is not possible with the known solutions.
- the object of the invention is to provide a solution with which the mode of operation is improved both in terms of the method and in the form of the device, with which, in particular, an inexperienced person is able to extinguish fires more effectively by hand using small extinguishers when fighting the source of the fire.
- this object is achieved according to the invention in that the extinguishing agent is ejected via the dispensing nozzle in at least two qualitatively and / or quantitatively different extinguishing agent streams in the fire process in an asymmetrical distribution which is adapted.
- this object is achieved in that the nozzle head of the extinguishing agent nozzle is equipped with at least two nozzle mouths which produce different extinguishing agent jets.
- the targeted combination of extinguishing agents with a coordinated effect is possible, i.e. it can be achieved several extinguishing effects, such as disconnection, energy withdrawal, inhibition effects, mechanical effects and. The like. These effects are achieved without the user having to take any special measures.
- the extinguishing agent can be ejected as a liquid, foam, gas or powder; Depending on the aggregate state of the extinguishing agent, an extinguishing agent can itself be sprayed in different ways.
- the extinguishing agent can be ejected from the extinguishing agent nozzle in an asymmetrical distribution. It may be expedient to eject the extinguishing agent at least with a concentrated penetrating jet and a fanned flat jet.
- the procedure can also be such that, in addition to an penetrating jet, an oscillating point jet is ejected and / or an extinguishing agent mist.
- a special procedure consists in using inert gases, an extinguishing liquid such as water, foams or powder for extinguishing agents, in particular to produce an extinguishing agent penetration zone, a cooling zone and a separation zone at the source of the fire.
- Embodiments of the device are provided in accordance with the invention in that the nozzle head is equipped with a nozzle mouth which generates an penetrating jet and a further nozzle mouth, the further nozzle mouth being able to be designed in accordance with the invention to generate an oscillating point jet, a flat jet or an extinguishing agent mist.
- the nozzle head is equipped with a nozzle mouth which generates an penetrating jet and a further nozzle mouth, the further nozzle mouth being able to be designed in accordance with the invention to generate an oscillating point jet, a flat jet or an extinguishing agent mist.
- the nozzle head is equipped with a nozzle mouth which generates an penetrating jet and a further nozzle mouth, the further nozzle mouth being able to be designed in accordance with the invention to generate an oscillating point jet, a flat jet or an extinguishing agent mist.
- the alternative between two such nozzles producing different extinguishing agent jets can be provided
- the design can be such that the nozzle mouth for the penetrating jet and the nozzle mouth for the flat jet are spatially separated from one another or are merged into one another on the nozzle head.
- the invention provides that the nozzle head is provided with a screw thread for screwing in differently designed nozzle mouths, it also being possible for the nozzle head to be designed as a retrofit part made of plastic.
- FIG. 1 shows a simplified basic illustration of fighting a fire source with the aid of an extinguishing agent nozzle according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a concentration diagram of the distribution of the extinguishing agent according to line II-II in FIG. 1
- 3 shows a different type of fire fighting in a representation similar to FIG. 1
- Fig. 4 an extinguishing agent distribution approximately along the line
- FIG. 10 shows a simplified cross section through a possible nozzle design according to FIG. 9,
- FIGS. 11 shows another cross-sectional drawing of a nozzle head and in FIGS.
- FIGS. 12 and 13 are schematic diagrams of the extinguishing agent ejection from a nozzle according to the invention.
- the device generally designated 1, is only shown symbolically in FIGS. 1 and 3; it essentially consists of an extinguishing agent nozzle 2 or 2a with a symbolically indicated actuating element 3 or 3a, a supply 4 or 4a for the extinguishing agent and a nozzle head designated 5 and 5a.
- 5 to 9 show the views of the nozzle heads 5 with different nozzle mouths 6 to 6d according to the invention.
- a nozzle mouth 6 is designed for generating an intrusion jet, a nozzle mouth 6a for generating an oscillating point jet and a plurality of small-hole nozzles 6b for generating an extinguishing agent mist which e.g. is used for cooling.
- Fig. 6 the top view of the nozzle head shows a penetrating jet nozzle mouth 6, the nozzle mouth 6b for generating a mist and a nozzle mouth 6c for generating a flat jet.
- FIG. 7 and 8 show modified exemplary embodiments, namely the physical connection between the penetrating jet nozzle mouth 6 with flat jet nozzle mouth 6c with and without a fog nozzle head 6b.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 show a design similar to that in FIG. 6, FIG. 10 showing a corresponding basic cross-sectional drawing which can be seen that an extinguishing agent source, not shown in detail, in FIG 10 hinted at 7, the conveyed extinguishing agent is distributed over two nozzle heads can, for example, on the nozzle 6, which generates a penetrating jet, and on the nozzle 6c, which generates a flat jet.
- FIG. 11 A similar modified design is shown in FIG. 11.
- nozzle head 5 can be designed as a retrofit part that can be screwed into a screw thread 8.
- extinguishing agent jets in question which can be generated by a nozzle head, are shown in different variants in FIGS. 12 and 13, a fog 10 being indicated at the top in FIG. 12, an penetrating jet 11 in the middle and a flat jet 12 below is.
- Fig. 13 it is indicated that e.g. Different extinguishing agents can be ejected from a nozzle head, for example at the top a mist 10a from an inert gas, a flat jet 12 and an oscillating jet 13 from another extinguishing agent.
- FIGS. 1 and 3 show different types of fire fighting according to FIGS. 1 and 3, the respective penetration zone, generally generated by the penetration jet, being designated 14, the cooling zone 15 and the separation zone 16 which is recognizable depending on the nozzle shape before geometric configurations or concentrations can take place.
- a multiple hose can be provided on the nozzle head for conveying different extinguishing media
- the nozzle head can be designed as a hand-operated and hand-operated nozzle head as well as a machine-guided nozzle head and the like.
- the nozzle head can be designed as a hand-operated and hand-operated nozzle head as well as a machine-guided nozzle head and the like.
