Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for detecting incipient fires according to the preamble of the first claim and a method for cleaning the device.
  • the invention is applicable everywhere where incipient fires in rooms or electronic devices are possible.
  • the device is also applicable where explosion zones according to ATEX95 and 137 are present, for example in the dust-laden industry (wood and mill industry.)
  • a detector for detecting a fire characteristic via a supply line in the space to be monitored or is arranged on or in the device to be monitored and has a number of suction ports, continuously supplied to room air or device samples. If the detector detects a fire detection variable, an evaluation unit, which is electronically connected to it, outputs a signal according to predetermined criteria.
  • supply line does not only mean pipelines that are attached to a room protection and lead to an air outlet opening in the housing of the detector and suck the room or device cooling air through suction
  • the supply line can also be a suction hopper, a collecting hood or a T- represent shaped pipe hood, which is placed for example on the air outlet grille of an electronic device and thereby arranged in the main cooling stream of the device.
  • Fire detection variables are understood to mean physical quantities which are subject to measurable changes in the environment of an incipient fire, for example the ambient temperature, the solid or liquid or gas component in the ambient air or the ambient radiation.
  • a method and a device for detecting incipient fires in rooms or in electronic devices are known with a detector for detecting a fire characteristic with at least one supply line in the space to be monitored or on or in the device to be monitored is arranged and has a number of suction through which room air or device cooling air samples are supplied continuously.
  • An evaluation unit is electronically connected to a detector and emits a signal according to predetermined criteria when the detector detects a fire detection variable.
  • This device has the disadvantage that settles increasingly dust at the holes of the intake. This leads to the detection system increasingly losing its functionality.
  • Such a method and such a device are known for example from DE 295 18 042 U1 or DE 33 48 107 C2 .
  • the detection reliability of a fire parameter decreases with increasing distance from the aspirating fan due to the pressure drop occurring in the pipelines.
  • the supply line may also consist of a pipeline, which is, however, significantly shorter, so that all suction can be the same. However, they must have different diameters with different number of suction because the total suction can only be within a small bandwidth.
  • suction holes can be drilled on the construction site in the supply / supply lines. Due to the wall thickness of the supply line accumulates in practice at the hole of the intake more dust. This then leads to the detection system increasingly losing its functionality. To prevent this, a frequent and high maintenance is necessary.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to develop a device which has a high effectiveness and a permanently high sensitivity when detecting incipient fires over the Has entire monitoring area, the maintenance is to be low.
  • the device according to the invention provides that the suction openings in the supply line, which can have the same diameter and can be produced by drilling, have a rubber-elastic part with an inner opening with a smaller diameter.
  • the rubber-elastic part closes the opening of the supply line not only gas-tight, but also ensures that the film is loadable on both sides, ie through the hole in the film, a gas flow into the supply line and a gas flow from the supply can take place without the rubber-elastic Part has leaks against the supply line.
  • suction holes which are glued over with foil, it is not possible to direct the gas flow in the opposite direction, without the release film adhering from the outside being peeled off over a longer period of use.
  • These adhesively bonded foils are only suitable for reliably enabling the limitation of a gas flow into the device, but not for a gas flow which is carried out from the supply line.
  • the film on the rubber-elastic part is advantageous to arrange the film on the rubber-elastic part at the top.
  • a gas flow from the inside to the outside through the opening of the film by means of a fan.
  • the air flow can be blown at predetermined time intervals from the inside against the film by a timer, so that a continuous cleaning is given.
  • a filter can be used in the region of the intake openings over the entire tube. This prevents dust from entering the supply line and dust concentrations that form explosive mixtures.
  • the present invention provides two ways to protect the intake ports from contamination. Since the use with the elastic membrane in the outer diameter is considerably larger than the suction holes, a dust filter can be placed on the intake from the outside. For this purpose, a dust filter is integrated into the elastic membrane. By means of the air flow monitoring system, the condition of these dust filters is constantly checked for function. The dust filter can also be placed over the entire pipe of the supply line in the region of the intake openings in order to increase the filter surface. The filters are cleaned either by counter-rinsing, cleaning or replacement.
  • the big advantage of this solution according to the invention is that all suction holes get an insert, which in the suction bore with a thin membrane has high sliding properties.
  • This solution according to the invention is highly prevents dust deposition in the area of the bore.
  • the thin membrane has a certain elasticity. Should In the area of the suction through certain environmental properties deposit dust, the reliability of the "device for detecting incipient fires" impaired, the introduction of purging air in the supply line, the intake ports Clean easily, as the membrane bulges outwards due to increased pressure and thereby easily peel off the dust.
  • the introduction of the purging air can be done via the intake fan by means of compressed air at the air outlet or via a bypass between the fan and the first suction port. Another possibility is to reverse the intake fan in its direction of rotation. Thus, the supply line to a pressure line and cleans the suction with the outflowing air. This can also be done automatically. However, it should be noted that the fire detection is interrupted during the rinsing phase.
  • FIG. 3 shows a feed line 3 with its suction opening 5.
  • This suction opening 5 can easily be passed by dust particles, so that contamination of the detectors continuously occurs.
  • the cross section of the opening 5 may have to be adapted to the desired flow cross section.
  • Figure 2 shows a rubber-elastic part 1, which has a groove 8 for fastening, wherein the inner diameter is provided with a film 2 having an opening 4 for the air flow.
  • the film 2 is equally strong on both sides.
  • the rubber-elastic part 1 is introduced into the supply line 3.
  • FIG. 1 shows a supply line 3, in which a rubber-elastic part 1 is introduced, which has a film 2 with an opening 4 at its upper edge. This is advantageous in that no corners arise between the rubber-elastic part 1 and the inner film 2, in which polluting particles can settle. Against coarse particles, the opening 4 of the film 2 is protected by a filter 7 to the entire tube 3.
  • FIG. 4 shows a rubber-elastic part 1 which is provided with a filter 6 above the suction opening 4.
  • a strong contamination is prevented by the fact that the air flow through the opening 4 is easily reversible, with the result that any dust deposits are entrained to the outside. Furthermore, the penetration of coarse particles by attaching the filters 6, 7 is prevented.
  • the present invention opens up a broad spectrum of operational capability, especially in dust-prone areas.
  • the inventive design the advantages of fire detection can be used with multi-sensor intake detectors through the use of filters and convenient cleaning by means of the membrane insert in dust hazardous areas.
