Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fire extinguishing device with at least a fire extinguisher launcher and at least one with a control device coupled to the adjustment drive Align the launcher on a fire site, at least a remote measuring device for non-contact remote measurement of Distances to within a surveillance area Measuring points and their respective temperature is provided
  • Fire extinguishing devices are known from DE 36 20 603 and EP 0 041 060 A2 known, where the thrower with a with the Control lever coupled to a manual control lever Fire site can be targeted. Although this Fire extinguishers have proven in practice, they show also drawbacks. For example, the exact Positioning of the launcher only when the fire extinguishing agent hits it can be set. This can lead to it in particular Start of the deletion process for incorrect positioning of the launcher come through the fire extinguishing agent next to the fire site hits and can therefore not be fully used. Due to an inaccurate alignment of the launcher, it can also during the deletion process to incorrect positioning and thus to one only partial use of the fire extinguishing agent. Unfavorable is also that for the hiring of the launcher participation of fire-fighting personnel is required so that this is bound and for other tasks, such as rescuing people is not available.
  • EP-A0 424 200 describes a method for fighting fires known in which the direction of throw of an adjustable launcher can be set so that what is ejected by the launcher Extinguishing media hits a fire. There is the possibility of remote control, data regarding Distance, wind direction, wind speed, distance, Beam shape, positioning of the launcher, pressure and the Vehicle speed can be applied. A measurement of the Distance to or the temperature at the source of the fire is not described.
  • a fire extinguishing system is known from US-A-4 821 805, which works with two spaced-apart infrared detectors. With the aid of the infrared sensors, a source of fire can first be detected and then the distance to the detected source of fire is determined by calculation from the different angular positions of the infrared sensors with the aid of the infrared sensors spaced apart and provided with reflectors.
  • These arrangements with two spaced-apart infrared sensors can still provide sufficiently precise measured values at comparatively short distances, so that use with stationary extinguishing devices, as is preferably provided in this patent, is possible. For longer measuring distances, however, use with a practical arrangement of the sensors is no longer possible.
  • a side distance of at least 2.5 m between the two infrared sensors would be required.
  • Such an arrangement is problematic in fire-fighting vehicles because it is bulky and can also be damaged by external influences. In terrain with obstacles (trees, bushes, buildings) there is also the risk of interruptions in one of the two infrared rays, so that no measurement is then possible.
  • GB-A-2 106 385 it is a fire detection and Fighting system known, the temperature of a source of fire to measure with an infrared sensor.
  • the object of the present invention is a fire extinguishing device of the above type to create a exact positioning of the fire extinguishing agent at the fire site enables and also the fire extinguishing personnel as far as possible relieve.
  • the fire extinguishing device should in particular also in connection with a quickly on a fire site fire engine to be used and the remote measuring device Measurement data should be taken even at great distances the direction and distance.
  • the remote measuring device is a laser distance temperature measuring device and that Remote measuring device with a control device for automatic Align the launcher with someone identified as a fire Measuring point is coupled.
  • the distance measurement is carried out by means of a measuring laser beam that can be deflected two-dimensionally with a deflection unit (scanner) according to the pulse transit time method.
  • the laser beam is modulated with at least two sinusoidal oscillations of different frequencies, so that when the emitted measuring laser beam is superimposed on the light reflected by the measuring point, a phase shift occurs which is proportional to the distance between the laser distance temperature measuring device and the measuring point.
  • the laser distance temperature measuring device By evaluating the spectral components contained in the light reflected by the measuring point, the laser distance temperature measuring device enables not only a distance measurement but also the measurement of the temperature at the respective measuring point.
  • An invisible infrared laser beam is expediently provided as the measuring laser beam.
  • the remote measuring device then enables reliable measured value acquisition even in poor visibility conditions, such as smoke or fog.
  • an inexpensive infrared semiconductor laser can then be provided as the beam generator for the remote measuring device.
  • the remote measuring device which works with a laser, can both locate the source of the fire by measuring the temperature and precisely determine the distance by measuring the transit time. It is therefore particularly well suited for use in a fast-moving fire engine, for example at an airfield, because direction and distance data are available to the launcher and the necessary facilities even while approaching a source of fire at a great distance, e.g. 1,000 m in good time before reaching the launcher action area and then begin the extinguishing process immediately within the extinguishing range.
  • a time advantage that is valuable for fire fighting and for saving human lives can be achieved, which is of crucial importance especially when extinguishing burning planes.
  • the laser distance temperature measuring device practically carries out a "single-beam measurement" and thus halves the risk of beam interruptions in the field compared to two spaced-apart infrared sensors.
  • the laser distance temperature measuring device also enables an extremely compact design and can therefore be attached directly to the launcher if necessary. The risk of damage during use is also significantly reduced due to the compact design.
  • the measured values supplied by the remote measuring device for the detection of fire spots are processed in the control device. Fire spots can be localized, for example, by comparing the measured temperature values with a predetermined temperature threshold. By including the distance data, the spatial extent of fires can also be taken into account.
  • the control device automatically determines the alignment of the thrower required for fire fighting from the distance data and controls the adjustment drive (s) of the thrower accordingly.
  • the device thus enables automatic and exact alignment of the launcher to the fire site, so that on the one hand the fire-fighting personnel are relieved accordingly and on the other hand an exact positioning of the fire-extinguishing agent at the fire site is always guaranteed. This also results in a lower consumption of fire extinguishing agent, which is particularly advantageous for fire extinguishing devices with a limited supply of extinguishing agent.
  • the measured value acquisition in each case for temperature and distance can be carried out by remote measurement from a location which is preferably outside the monitoring area, for example from the detector.
  • the measured values can also be measured from any other location, the distance from this location to the launcher then having to be taken into account when measuring the distance.
  • the measured temperature values it is then checked whether a fire can be detected in the monitoring area.
  • the measured temperature values can each be compared with a temperature threshold value, a fire being detected in the event that one or more adjacent temperature measurement values exceed the temperature threshold value. If a fire site is detected, the distance and direction of the fire site in relation to the launcher are determined from the measured distance value (s) and the target value for the launcher setting is determined therefrom.
  • the setpoint can be taken from a table, for example, taking into account the distance and / or direction to the fire site, or can be calculated numerically or analytically from the equation for the trajectory of the extinguishing agent.
  • the setpoint to be set is determined so that the fire point lies on the trajectory of the fire extinguishing agent.
  • the equation for the trajectory can be used to determine gravity, throwing speed of the thrower and, if necessary, other parameters, such as the air resistance of the extinguishing agent jet.
  • several target values for the thrower setting can also be determined from the measured distance values. For example, for a thrower whose throwing direction can be adjusted both laterally and in height, separate setpoints for azumuth and elevation can be calculated and set.
  • the throwing direction of the thrower is thus determined on the basis of exact measured values, so that it can be aligned precisely with the fire site.
  • the fire extinguishing agent thus hits the fire site exactly, so that a particularly effective and economical extinguishing agent is possible. Automation also relieves the fire-fighting personnel accordingly.
  • the ejection speed of the fire extinguishing agent can be adapted to the distance to the fire site, a higher ejection speed being chosen for larger distances and a lower ejection speed for smaller distances.
  • the extinguishing agent pressure is preferably set accordingly.
  • the ejection speed of the fire extinguishing agent is therefore set as low as possible, thereby saving extinguishing agent on the one hand and energy for conveying the extinguishing agent on the other hand.
