ES2292359A1 - Automatic fire arrestor for avoiding fire propagation in different forest zones, has receiver to receive signal that is transmitted to electronic device, which causes opening of valve so compressed air from gas cylinder passes - Google Patents

Abstract

The automatic fire arrestor has a receiver to receive the signal that is transmitted to an electronic device, which causes the opening of a valve so the compressed air passes from a gas cylinder. The valve is open until a covered rubber disc, which is inside a deposit pushes the fluid water, which is in deposit towards the outside to traverse ramifications and sprinklers to choke or to extinguish the fire.

Description

Automatic fire extinguisher

Technical sector

The invention is within the sector technician to extinguish fires, more specifically in the elimination of fires in forest areas.

State of the art

Currently the extinction of fires in the field forestry has acquired special relevance as well as processes to prevent its spread, but found in forests or mountains it is difficult to reach them so it takes a Automatic system.

The automatic systems of fire extinguishing in buildings such as the Sprinklers, which they are devices associated to a water network that has a detector element, usually a glass vial containing a liquid with a large coefficient of expansion.

Explanation

Many times when a fire occurs forestry is very difficult to reach them in time to turn them off and especially so that they do not spread. With this invention you could prevent the spread of fire in one or more forest areas concrete, and in some cases its extinction, thus avoiding major evils.

Basically the present invention would consist of a barrel and inside which there would be a series of elements like a drum, a receiver, compressed air, duct system, etc; allowing the invention to be activated upon receipt of a signal and thus be able to extinguish or prevent the spread of a fire in one or several forest areas at once.

Description drawings

The drawing represents a drum (1) in the direction vertical, which has been made an imaginary cut to be able to observe and expose all the elements found in your inside.

These elements apart from the drum (1) would be a tank (12) inside which there would be water or other fluid that allow to extinguish fires and also a rubber coated disc (8) covering the entire perimeter of the deposit (12) and that would be guided by a series of guides (19).

Holding the tank (12) there will be two or three supports (4) leaving a space between the bottom of the drum (1) and the tank (12), which will be occupied by a compressed air cylinder (2), which will be attached to the bottom of the drum (1) by two hooks (18). From the compressed air cylinder a hose or conduit (3) that connects to an electronic device (5) whose function is to open a valve (6) that has this device, upon receiving a signal. There will also be another conduit (7) that connects the device electronic (5) with the deposit (12).

Leaving the tank (12) there will be another conduit (13) that will join a series of ramifications (14) that will go to stop or sprinklers (15) to be able to expel water or other fluid that allows to extinguish fires.

At the top of the drum (1) there will be a support (16) attached to the drum wall (1) to attach to a battery (11) that is connected to a receiver (10) that will send a signal through a cable (9) to the electronic device (5).

And all these elements that are inside of the drum (1) will be covered by a lid (17).

Embodiment

The barrel (1) with all the elements previously mentioned inside and covered with the lid (17) they are buried in a certain area and the ramifications (14) with its sprinklers (15) will be extended through the area covering greater perimeter, which will be underground. The sprinklers (15) they will be hidden at all times and will only go outside when the invention is activated remotely and thus expand the water or the fluid.

The invention will be activated upon receipt of the receiver (10) a signal, which will transmit it through the cable (9) to the electronic device (5). This electronic device upon receiving the signal, will open the valve (6) and thus let the compressed air pass that was in the bottle (2).

Compressed air will pass through the ducts (3) (7) to the tank (12) and will push the disc (8) thus causing that the water or fluid exits pressure through the duct (13) until ramifications (14) and then to sprinklers (15).

In this way it is also possible not to disturb the image of the forest environment, since the invention is not seen when buried.

Putting several units of this invention will You can cover and protect different perimeters and zones along of the forest ecosystem, using for this purpose receivers (10) that in each unit receive and react to signals other than activation.

Industrial application

As mentioned before, this invention is intended for forest protection, but could also be applied to the industry since the materials used and the mode of realization is simple for use.

So any industry could manufacture it and use in its facilities to prevent the spread of fires

Claims (2)

1. Automatic fire extinguisher that allows the extinction or non-propagation of fires in different forest areas characterized in that each barrel (1) has different receivers (10) attached to a battery (11) and held by a support (16), in order to activate the opening of the valve (6) of the electronic device (5), allowing water or fluid from the canister (12) to press outside through the pipe (13) and branches (14) to the sprinklers (fifteen). 2. Automatic fire extinguisher according claim 1 wherein the means of expelling water or fluid consists of the pressure exerted by the compressed air of a bottle of this air (2) that will always be open, which will reach through a hose (3) to the valve (6) and pass through a conduit (7) to a rubber coated disc (8) that will push the water or fluid outward, simulating the function of a syringe when tight.
