- The unit control valve has a slide rail fixed slidably in the assembly wall, guided along the axis set by the axes of piercer side channels. The slide rail adjoins O-rings of the piercer side channels and is connected to the control arm of the piercer with the double arm lever. De-aerating holes are made in the slide rail, they are located in such a way that in one extreme position one de-aerating hole coincides with the side channel of the piercer with a double armed lever and in the other extreme position the other de-aerating holes coincide with the side channels of the other piercers. The control valve is re-adjusted by the control arm of the double armed lever, swung while the vessel diaphragm is pierced.
- A unit with a number of piercers equipped with single arm levers can support several pneumatic actuators. Each single arm piercer is connected to the working stroke chamber of a single actuator whilst return stroke chambers of these actuators are supplied simultaneously from the single piercer with a double armed lever.
- In the advantageous embodiment the control valve has a slide rail guided lengthwise in a groove cut out in the assembly wall between the surfaces of the back sides of the piercer bodies and plates attached to the assembly wall at the other side. Holes coaxial with side channels of all piercers are made in the plates.

fig. 1 to 11 .Fig.1 shows the unit in a perspective bottom view,fig. 2 shows a functional diagram of connection of the unit to the actuator,fig. 3 and fig. 4 show cross-sections through the piercer with a single arm lever in the armed position and after the diaphragm is pierced,fig. 5 shows the top view of the piercer,fig. 6 - a cross-section through the piercer with a double arm lever in the armed position,fig. 7 - a back view of the assembly wall,fig. 8 and 9 - the slide rail with the cam attached, a front view and side views,fig. 10 and 11 - side views of the piercer while piercing the diaphragm, in an intermediate position and in the bottom position of the double arm lever. Subsequentfig. 12 to 16 concern the example of the unit with the spring drive of the slide rail.Fig. 12 shows a functional diagram of connection of this unit to the actuator,fig. 13 - a side view of the piercer with the double arm lever in the armed position,fig. 14 - a back view of the assembly wall, supplemented with the broken line marking the embodiment of a unit with a few piercers equipped with single arm levers,fig. 15 - the slide rail andfig. 16 - a side view of the piercer with a double arm lever in the bottom position, after piercing the vessel's membrane. - The unit - according to the first embodiment shown in
fig. 1 to 11 - has two piercers: the piercer A with asingle arm lever 1 and the piercer B with adouble arm lever 2, attached with theirback body sides 3 to theassembly wall 4. Inrectangular bodies 3 thesockets 5 of pressure vessels are made, which are connected by theside channels 6 to thegas outlet sockets 7. Thetubular strikers 8, with a longitudinal slot, are fixed to the pistons guided coaxially with thevessel sockets 5 and are loaded with return springs. - The single arm lever 1, of a C-like cross-section, embraces the
body 3 with its flanges. It is mounted in a bearing on theaxle 9 in the body. The web of thesingle arm lever 1 presses the piston towards thevessel 10. - The
striker piston 8 has a neck "d" close to its end protruding out of thebody 3 while the web of thesingle arm lever 1 has a cut-out in the form of circular hole of a diameter D1 slightly greater than the diameter D of the piston, connected to a groove "r", which is slightly wider than the neck diameter "d" and the symmetry axis of this cut-out is perpendicular to theaxle 9 of the bearing of the single arm lever. Theside channel 6, at the back wall of thebody 3 is open by the hole of the bushing mounted in this body. The bushing has an external neck on which an O-ring 11 is mounted. - The second piercer B differs from the piercer A by an additional
double arm lever 2 which embraces thesingle arm lever 1 and is mounted in a bearing on thesame axle 9. Thedouble arm lever 2 is longer than thesingle arm lever 1 which in the case of this piercer B has aprotruding prong 12 at the bottom corner of the flanges, while the web of thedouble arm lever 2 is cut out at the side of theaxis 9 to a depth at which the radius of the front edge of the front web is slightly greater than the inner radius of theprong 12. - The
axle 9 is bent at right angle and its bent section is entered into afork 13 made in one of the flanges of thedouble arm lever 2 extended beyond theaxle 9. The bent section of the axle forms thecontrol arm 14 which protrudes behind the back side of thebody 3. - The control valve C constitutes a
slide rail 15 attached slidably in the plane of theassembly wall 4, guided along the O-O axis set by the axes ofside channels 6 of the piercers A and B. Theslide rail 15 adjoins the O-rings 11 of theside channels 6 and is guided lengthwise in a groove cut out in theassembly wall 4 between the surfaces of the back sides of thebodies 3 of the piercers A and B andplates 16 attached to theassembly wall 4 at the other side. - In the
plates 16 there areholes 17 made coaxially with theside channels 6 of the piercers A and B. Thecam plate 18 with an askew guidedgroove 19, into which thecontrol arm 14 of thedouble arm lever 2 is entered, is attached crosswise to theslide rail 15. The projection of the guide groove onto the O-O axis of theslide rail 15 sets the stroke between its extreme positions x and y. - In the
slide rail 15 there are twode-aerating holes slide rail 15 and if thedouble arm lever 2 is lifted one of thede-aerating holes 20 coincides with theside channel 6 of the piercer B and in the other extreme position y of the slide rail 15 - set by the control arm 14 - after piercing the diaphragm of thevessel 10 in the piercer B - thesecond de-aerating hole 21 coincides with theside channel 6 of the piercer A. - The operation of the described unit, starting with the initial arming situation, that is with the A and B piercers lifted to the top positions a and c of the
levers strikers 8 lifted and withfull gas vessels 10 fixed in theirsockets 5, shall be as follows, in phases: - I. - a fire signal initiates the pressure onto the
single arm lever 1 and the piercer A. The stroke of thesingle arm lever 1 shifts thestriker 8 downwards, which pierces thevessel 10 diaphragm. At the end of the phase of the stroke the neck d enters into to the hole D1 of the cut-out, and at the bottom position b of thesingle arm lever 1, when the piston is in the plane of the cut-out hole D1 - the piston is released from the pressure of thesingle arm lever 1 and it is pushed up by force of the return spring. Thesingle arm lever 1 is then locked in its bottom position b by thestriker piston 8.
Gas from thevessel 10 flows through the side channel 6 - closed at the back side of thebody 3 with the slide rail 15 - to thegas outlet socket 7 and the work chamber of the actuator connected to the socket. The return stroke chamber of the actuator is connected to the piercer B, of which theside channel 5 in the x position of theslide rail 15 is connected to the atmosphere through thede-aerating hole 20 of arming. - II. - following the fire alarm cancel signal the smoke flap is closed by actuating the piercer B. The pressure onto the
double arm lever 2 and its swing within the scope between the position c and the position e causes a shift of theslide rail 15 by the stroke s from the position x to the position y, while theside channel 6 in the piercer B is closed and in the piercer A is opened by thede-aerating hole 21 of unloading. Theslide rail 15 is moved by thecontrol arm 14 entered into theguide groove 19 of thecam 18. Within the range ofdouble arm lever 2 swing, thesingle arm lever 1 and thestriker 8 remain stationary.
In the position e the web edge of thedouble arm lever 2 engages at theprongs 12 of thesingle arm lever 1, which causes that in further movement the bothlevers double arm lever 2. Theslide rail 15 position is not changed as theguide groove 19 within this range is in line with the swing direction of thecontrol arm 14. Same as in the case of the piercer A - after thevessel 10 diaphragm is pierced and while approaching the position f, the neck d enters the hole D1 of the cut-out in the web of thesingle arm lever 1, and when the piston is in the plane of the cut-out hole D1 - the piston is released from the pressure of thesingle arm lever 1 and it is pushed up by force of the return spring. - III. - arming the unit for the subsequent action require performance of the following activities: to remove used
gas vessels 10 from thesockets 5, to lift thesingle arm lever 1 and thedouble arm lever 2 in the both piercers A and B to the top positions a and c, after unlocking both levers by manual shifting of thestriker 8 pistons downwards until the necks d are entered into the grooves r of thesingle arm lever 1 and finally to putnew gas vessels 10 into the piercers A and B. - The second example embodiment of the unit, presented in
fig. 12 to 16 differs from the above by the method of theslide rail 15 drive. The piercer B - in this unit embodiment - has only adouble arm lever 2 of which thecontrol arm 14 constitutes a flange of this lever extended beyond the back side of thebody 3. The end of thecontrol arm 14 goes through the vertical slot in theassembly wall 4 and in the extreme armed position x it is engaged into thetrigger groove 22 made on the upper edge of theslide rail 15. - In the x position of the
slide rail 15 thede-aerating hole 20 of arming coincides with theside channel 6 of the piercer B. At one end theslide rail 15 is articulated to the tighteninglever 23, which is mounted in a bearing at theassembly wall 4 and to a spring loaded towards the extreme position y of unloading of theslide rail 15, in this position the secondde-aerating hole 21 coincides with theside channel 6 of the piercer A1, A2. - The operation of the unit in the second presented above embodiment is very similar to the unit with a cam shift of the
slide rail 15 described first. The difference concerns the phase II and III and follows from a different, spring drive of theslide rail 15 shift. - In the phase:
- II. - of closing of the smoke flap: the pressure onto the
double arm lever 2 of the piercer B already at the beginning of the swing causes ejection of thecontrol arm 14 from thetrigger groove 22 and results in release of theslide rail 15. Theslide rail 15 loaded by thespring 24 by means of the tighteninglever 23 makes a stroke s, from its extreme armed position x to its extreme unloaded position y. In the position y, theside channel 6 of the piercer B is closed and the piercers A1, A2 are connected to the atmosphere via the de-aerating unloading holes 21. Further swing of thedouble arm lever 2 causes piercing of thegas vessel 10 diaphragm with thestriker 8 and supply of the return stroke chamber of the actuator. After thedouble arm lever 2 reaches the position f, while the piston is covered by the surface of the hole D1 - it is released and the piston is ejected upwards with the return spring force - resulting in locking of thedouble arm lever 2 - III. - arming of the unit require performance of the following activities: to remove used
gas vessels 10 from thesockets 5, to lift thesingle arm lever 1 in the both piercers A1 and A2 to the top positions a - which is possible after unlocking the lever by shifting the pistons downwards until the necks d are entered into the grooves r of thesingle arm lever 1. The act of lifting thedouble arm lever 2 of the piercer B requires previous shift of theslide rail 15 to the extreme armed position x, which is performed with the tighteninglever 23 while tightening thespring 24. Thecontrol arm 14 entered into thetrigger groove 22 locks theslide rail 15 in the extreme armed position x. Arming is finished by fixing thenew gas vessels 10 in the piercers A1, A2 and B.
