Abstract
Description
- There are some patents that write about robots made by an extensible pipes connected to a monorail without water, or about robots that get ahead with a manual push. There These robots need an operator who is able to link the flexible pipes with the hydrant, among these patents remarkable is the Japanese Patent n. 10146398.
- This patent needs a connection with a water column when the robot arrives in the fire-place.
- Moreover the robot is connected with not cooling water monorail.
- So, this monorail risks to melt when high temperatures are reached into the tunnel.
- The fire-fighting robot of the present patent application serves to the extinction of fire in road and railway tunnels.
- The robot (Figs. 1 and 2) is overhung from a carriage running on a monorail secured to the tunnel vault. An oleodynamic, telescopic piston (P) is connected between carriage and robot and allows the latter to be lowered up to the road surface. Such a feature permits the robot to overcome any obstacle placed under the tunnel vault such as lighting installation and ventilation system, In addition, it allows hurt people to be helped and transported without the hindrance of the traffic and to fight the fire also from below without being directly attacked by the flue gases.
- The robot is equipped with a 380 V, 46 kVA diesel generator (A) (Fig. 6), the current of which is transformed to 24 V and, rectified.
- All of the motors (traverse motor, hydraulic pump, fire pump, fire hose motor, etc.) are 24 V dc motors.
- The air intake pipe of the generator is connected to a trunk reaching the ground so that the same can also operate when smoke spreads throughout the high portion of the tunnel.
- If the generator cannot operate because of the excessive smoke a 24 V, 1600 Ah battery (5 hours discharge) is put into operation, thus allowing a complete autonomy of operation for at least 3 hours. The antifire outfit (Fig. 6) consists of: two water nozzles (E) with a flow rate of 500 litres/minute and a throw of 40 metres; a foam monitor nozzle (F) with a flow rate of 1.000 litres/minute and a throw of 30 metres; a water tank (Fig. 5) of 1.000 litres; a foam tank of 500 litres.
- In order to ensure the necessary continuity of the fire extinguishing operation there is provided a connection between the robot and the water pipe system DN 125 installed above the monorail (Figs. 4 and 7). To this end, quick-coupling joints (K) are provided along the piping (Q) every 20 metres and a fire hose DN 65 with a length of 30 metres is installed on the carriage.
- The robot is connected to the water pipe system automatically by an arm means (Fig.7) which couples the male connector (M) of the fire hose to the female quick-coupling joint (K) when the robot comes across two permanent magnets secured to the monorail:the first (Z) slows down the carriage,the second(V) operates the device. In order to help people, a mechanical articulated-quadrilateral device is installed under the cabin of the robot (Fig. 4) and, when it opens, changes into a seat and a stretcher. Once opened the device controls the opening of doors from which air masks come out. Such a device can carry up to 10 people.
- The cabin (Fig. 8) is provided with fire-resisting panels and glasses able to resist to fire for 1E minutes. Furthermore, a pipe provided with a cooling water nozzle for cooling the shield and the outside apparatus is installed around the deck.
- The carriage can reach a speed of 50 km/hour and car- two operators in the cabin. To this end, two oxygen respirators connected to the air ventilation system and provided with four air cylinders with 60 litres 200 bars are available in the cabin. However, the presence on board of the operator is not indispensable as the carriage is completely automatic and can remote-controlled. To this end, a radio link and two
- TV cameras, one of which being an infrared camera, are provided on the monorail.
- The state of art in the fire-fighting installations particularly in case of fire in tunnels provides:
- a) automatic, fixed extinguishing installations (without helping people);
- b) intervention of the fire-brigade with vehicles (fire trucks, tank trucks, foam trucks, ambulance).
- The fixed installations of the type of water and/or foam sprinklers and foam nozzles require a lot apparatus all over the surface to be protected. Thus, if sprinklers should be installed in a tunnel, would be necessary to put a sprinkler under the vat every 9 square metres with a lot of piping connect to one another and to control and alarm valves. In addition, several pumping means should be installed along the tunnel to provide for the necessary water supply. The same applies to a hypothetical fixed foam installation.
- On the other side, both above installations have some important limits. In fact, because of the smoke under the vault a greater number of sprinklers located elsewhere could be operated with the result of an ineffectiveness of the installation.
- The foam production of the nozzles of a fixed installation could also be difficult because of the lack of air and the simultaneous presence of smoke hindering the development of bubbles. Such installations, as known, do not have any means for helping people.
- The intervention of the fire-brigade with fire trucks, tank trucks, foam trucks, and ambulance, when a service tunnel is not provided, is often delayed or prevented by possible vehicles obstructing the road, by high temperatures and the strong smoke that reduces the range of visibility and makes the respiration difficult, thus forcing the operators to use the oxygen respirators having an autonomy not greater than 45 minutes since the beginning.
- Furthermore, all of the fire-brigade's vehicles are operated by heat engines that need large amounts of air not ensured at all in case of strong smoke.
- The robot overcomes all of the above problems, namely:
- -- as far as the fixed installations is concerned, the robot requires just a monorail under the vault with only one water piping equipped with quick-coupling joints every 20-25 metres and protected from the fire and frost by a suitable insulation;
- as far as the intervention of the fire-brigade with vehicles is concerned, the robot has no problem of traffic because it runs high above and then can reach the site of fire in a few minutes, thus preventing the fire from reaching the stage of general development with high temperatures and propagation to the near vehicles. Therefore, the risks both for injured people and rescuers are reduced.
- The robot can also operate with high temperatures and strong smoke without aboard operator and supplied by the outfit batteries. It has no problem of water supply because it is automatically connected to the fixed water pipe system with a range of operation of 30 metres from the connection point plus the throw of the water nozzles that can reach 40 metres. It can help and transport people involved in road accidents even without fire.

- The openings due to the crossing of piston, electric cables, silencer,

- An antifire water nozzle (Fig. 7) is installed on board of the robot and consists of a motor-driven drum DN 1000 around which a pipe NBR PN 10 protected from fire is wound.
- When the carriage moves forward, the motor of the drum is switched on automatically under control and lays the pipe. Likewise, when the carriage moves back, the drum rotates in the opposite direction and winds the pipe.

- When striker (R) located at the centre of the collet chuck is pushed against the male joint and simultaneously electromagnet (S) faces the fixed magnet (V)1 the collet chuck closes, piston P3 moves forward and releases the female joint, while piston P1 moves back and pulls out the male joint, and the carriage starts to run again.
