Description

  The present invention relates to a fire extinguishing gas injection device for a gas fire extinguishing equipment that extinguishes fire by releasing a fire extinguishing gas such as N2 gas or a halide gas as a fire extinguishing agent into a fire extinguishing target space of a building when a fire breaks out. The present invention relates to a fire-extinguishing gas injection device that can reduce a reaction force to a fire-extinguishing gas conduit that is generated when it is injected.

  Conventionally, various buildings are equipped with gas fire extinguishing equipment that discharges fire extinguishing gas such as CO2 gas, N2 gas, and halides as fire extinguishing agents into a fire extinguishing target section.

  FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a fire extinguishing gas injection unit 1 including a fire extinguishing gas injection device of the prior art. The fire extinguishing gas injection unit 1 includes an injection head 3 as a fire extinguishing gas injection device that injects a high-pressure fire extinguishing gas supplied from a fire extinguishing gas supply source 15 when a fire occurs, and a conduit 4 to which the injection head 3 is connected.

  The conduit 4 is connected to the main pipe 5 connected to the fire extinguishing gas supply source 15, the branch pipe 6 interposed in the main pipe 5, and the fire extinguishing gas from the main pipe 5 is guided by the branch pipe 6, and the jet head 3 is connected. And a branch pipe 7. The main pipe 5 is installed in a state of being fastened by a fastener 10 such as a U-bolt to a building housing or a base 8 fixed to the housing (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  FIG. 10 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of the ejection head 3. The jet head 3 has a mounting portion 12 that opens toward the fire extinguishing target space 11 of the branch pipe 7, and a nozzle hole that is screwed to the mounting portion 12 and jets a high-pressure fire extinguishing gas supplied from the branch pipe 7 horizontally. Nozzle member 14 having 13.

  FIG. 11A is a side view showing the flow state of the fire extinguishing gas injected into the fire extinguishing target space 11, and FIG. 11B is a plan view showing the flow state of the fire extinguishing gas injected into the fire extinguishing target space 11. The fire extinguishing target space 11 is defined by four walls 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, a ceiling 17 and a floor 18 of the building. The wall 16c, which is one of the walls 16a to 16d, has the jet head 3 on the wall 16c. Is installed with the nozzle hole 13 facing the fire extinguishing target space 11.

  When the occurrence of a fire is detected by a fire detection device (not shown), the fire detection device outputs a valve opening command signal to the fire extinguishing gas supply source 15, and the on-off valve provided in the fire extinguishing gas supply source 15 opens from the closed state. The fire extinguishing gas in the fire extinguishing gas filling container is supplied to the conduit 4 by the gas pressure of the pressurizing gas from the pressurizing gas filling container and ejected from the ejection head 3.

  As shown by the arrow A1 in FIG. 11A, the fire extinguishing gas ejected from the ejection head 3 abuts against the opposing wall 16a and flows in the fire extinguishing target space 11 from the upper layer space toward the lower layer space. As shown by the arrow A2, the left and right sides are dispersed by the opposing walls 16a, flow along the walls 16b and 16d toward the wall 16c on which the ejection head 3 is provided, and in the fire extinguishing target space 11 Can be extinguished in a state filled with fire extinguishing gas.

  Since the jet head 3 that jets the fire extinguishing gas in this way jets the fire extinguishing gas at a large flow rate, a large jet reaction force R is generated in the direction opposite to the jetting direction A3 of the fire extinguishing gas.

In order to confirm the injection reaction force R with respect to the injection flow rate when the extinguishing gas is injected by the conventional extinguishing gas injection device, the present inventor uses the injection reaction force R of the injection head 3 shown in FIG. A measurement test was conducted by changing the number of the containers filled with 20.3 m <3> / gas to 1, 5, and 10 containers. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.

  FIG. 12 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of another conventional jet head 3a, and FIG. 13A is a side view showing the flow state of the fire extinguishing gas jetted by the jet head 3a shown in FIG. FIG. 13B is a plan view illustrating a flow state of the fire extinguishing gas ejected from the ejection head 3a into the fire extinguishing target space 11. FIG. The parts corresponding to those of the prior art in FIGS. 9, 10, 11A, and 11B are denoted by the same reference numerals. The ejection head 3 a has a nozzle member 14 a in which a plurality of nozzle holes 13 a are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on an axis perpendicular to the central axis, and is installed with the central axis of the ceiling 17 being vertical.

  When the fire extinguishing gas is jetted horizontally from each nozzle hole 13a in the fire extinguishing target space 11 by such an ejection head 3a, the fire extinguishing gas flows from the center of the upper space as shown by an arrow A4 in FIG. 13A. After being guided along the ceiling 17, it flows downward by the walls 16 a and 16 c, and forms a radially dispersed flow from the central portion in the upper space, as indicated by an arrow A 5 in FIG. 13B.

  As described above, in this conventional jet head 3a, the fire-extinguishing gas is jetted from each nozzle hole 13a in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis of the mounting portion 12 of the branch pipe 7, so that no jet reaction force R is generated. However, there is a problem that the fire-extinguishing gas cannot be directly jetted to a region immediately below the jet head 3a.

  As still another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, an annular pressure receiving portion 63 that extends inward in the radial direction is connected to one end in the axial direction opposite to the end plate 41 of the peripheral wall 38. A guide member 64 provided as a side gas flow guide may be used in place of the guide members 39, 59, 60.

  The pressure receiving portion 63 faces the space between the peripheral wall 38 and the nozzle member 36 from the downstream side in the flow direction of the fire extinguishing gas. By such a guide member 64, the pressure of the fire extinguishing gas injected from each nozzle hole 35 can be received by the pressure receiving portion 63 and offset from the injection reaction force R to be reduced.

As yet another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8, the outer diameter of the peripheral wall 38 is continuous with one end in the axial direction opposite to the end plate 41, and the outer diameter increases as the distance from the end plate 41 increases in the axial direction. Instead of the guide members 39, 59, 60, and 64, a guide member 66 provided with a smaller truncated cone-shaped pressure receiving portion 65 as a peripheral wall side gas flow guide portion may be used.

  The pressure receiving portion 65 faces the space between the peripheral wall 38 and the nozzle member 36 from the downstream side in the flow direction of the fire extinguishing gas.
