<Description of Operation of Sprinkler Head 100>
The basic operation of the sprinkler head 100 during a fire will be described with reference to FIG.
When a fire occurs and the heat sensitive body 84 begins to melt, the melted heat sensitive body 84 is pushed by the first piston 85 and flows out from the gap S1 between the cylinder 81 and the first piston 85 to the outside. As a result, the arm 61a starts to rotate right and its lower end side starts to move leftward in FIG. 1, and the arm 61b starts to rotate leftward and its lower end side starts to move rightward in FIG. To do.

  That is, due to the slight melting of the heat sensitive body 84, the engagement between the second engaging portion 63 of the arm 61a and the arm 61b and the link pressing plate 86 is released, and the link mechanism is disassembled. Thereby, each component which comprises a link mechanism falls below.

  As the link mechanism is disassembled and dropped, the valve body 41 and the arm guide are guided and lowered by the guide rod 34 of the deflector 31 and the pair of guide pieces 52 that descend in the hole of the deflector 31. Then, the valve body 41 is seated in contact with the upper surface of the deflector 31. Further, the deflector 31 descends as the stopper ring 35 slides in the frame 21. Then, the water discharged from the water outlet 12 collides with the deflector 31 and is sprinkled around the sprinkler head 100.

<About the heat sensitive body 84>
With reference to FIG. 2, the thermal body 84 which concerns on Embodiment 1 of this invention is demonstrated below.
The heat sensitive body 84 includes a solder 84a which is an example of a soluble alloy and a solder coating member 84b (an example of a soluble alloy coating member) configured to cover the solder 84a. The solder 84 a according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a columnar shape (disc shape) and is accommodated in the cylinder 81. The solder covering member 84b is a disk-shaped resin (an example of an organic compound) placed on the upper surface of the solder 84a in the cylinder 81. The outer diameters of the solder 84 a and the solder covering member 84 b are substantially the same as the inner diameter of the cylinder 81. That is, the outer peripheral surface of the solder covering member 84 b is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 81. That is, the solder coating member 84b is provided between the gap S1 between the cylinder 81 and the first piston 85 and the solder 84a, and is configured to close the gap S1, so that the solder 84a is sealed in the cylinder 81. And is not exposed to the open air.

  Therefore, by configuring the heat sensitive body 84 as described above, even if the sprinkler head 100 is installed in an atmosphere of corrosive gas, the corrosive gas is transferred to the gap S1 between the cylinder 81 and the first piston 85. It can only enter, and corrosive gas does not come into contact with the solder 84a. Thereby, the sprinkler head 100 can be operated reliably.

  The thickness of the solder covering member 84b is selected as appropriate. However, when the characteristics of the solder 84a are desired to be utilized, the solder covering member 84b may be thinner than the solder 84a. Here, the characteristic of the solder means durability against a load over a long period of time.

<About the solder covering member 84b>
The solder covering member 84b is made of a resin having corrosion resistance. As a result, even if the sprinkler head 100 is installed in an atmosphere of corrosive gas, the corrosive gas stays in the gap S1, so that the solder 84a is not corroded and the sprinkler head 100 is normally monitored. Can keep.

  The solder covering member 84b is a resin that is insoluble or hardly soluble in water, and is selected from resins having a melting point in the temperature range of 55 to 190 degrees. The resin used as the material of the solder covering member 84b is selected from resins having a melting point substantially equal to or lower than the melting point of the solder 84a of the sprinkler head 100. Accordingly, the sprinkler head 100 can be operated at the designed operating temperature without delaying the operation of the sprinkler head 100 due to the melting of the solder 84a.

  In particular, when the solder covering member 84b is made of a resin having a melting point lower than that of the solder 84a, the solder covering member 84b is melted first, but the sprinkler head 100 does not operate when the solder covering member 84b is melted first. (Does not malfunction). In the case of a fire, the sprinkler head 100 can operate quickly because the solder covering member 84b is already melted before the solder 84a is melted.

  The solder covering member 84b is formed by compression molding a fine resin powder having a melting point in the above temperature range to a hardness of 1.4 kg to 4.0 kg. Further, a resin having crystallinity has a high hardness and is more suitable as the heat sensitive body 84. When the resin fine powder is compression-molded, it is preferable to screen the resin fine powder in advance to make the particle size of the fine powder uniform. As a result, when compression molding is performed, the density cannot be increased or decreased, and the hardness can be stabilized. Further, by compressing and molding without heating, the moisture does not evaporate and the melting point is difficult to change, so that a compression molded body (solder coating member 84b) having the designed melting point can be obtained.

  Further, the resin selected for the solder covering member 84b is a resin that has a small amount of change over time (creep amount) with respect to the assembly load applied by being pressed by the first piston 85 and the second piston 88 as compared with the solder 84a (that is, Preferably, a resin having creep resistance is selected. The smaller the amount of change over time with respect to the assembly load, the better. Examples of resins having a small amount of change over time include 2-naphthyl benzoate (the amount of change over time is about half that of solder) and diphenyl phthalate (the amount of change over time). Is approximately 1/6 of the solder), 4-chlorobenzhydrol, and 1,8-octanediol (both of which change with time is approximately 1/5 of the solder).

  In general, the heat-sensitive body of the sprinkler head is pressed by the first piston 85 and the second piston 88, so that an assembly load of about 50 to 100 kgf is applied. Therefore, after a long period of time, the heat sensitive body will be deformed (this deformation is called “creep”), but if this deformation is large, the sprinkler head will operate even if it is not a fire. Setting the value within a predetermined range contributes to prevention of malfunction of the sprinkler head. Moreover, since the amount of creep is small, since the solder covering member 84b can be made thin accordingly, the heat capacity is reduced and the sensitivity is improved.

  Further, the resin used for the solder covering member 84b preferably has a sensitivity equal to or higher than that of solder. Here, “high sensitivity” means that the temperature range until the heat sensitive body 84 starts melting and the displacement of the heat sensitive body 84 is completed (melting is completed) is narrow. In other words, “high sensitivity” means rapid melting. For example, if the temperature at the melting start point and the temperature at the melting completion point are within the range of 3 ° C., it can be said that the sensitivity is high. . That is, it is preferable that the resin selected for the solder covering member 84b is a resin whose temperature range between the melting start point and the melting completion point is narrower than that of the solder (that is, a resin having high sensitivity). Examples of such highly sensitive resins include 2-naphthyl benzoate (the above temperature range is about 2 degrees), diphenyl phthalate (the above temperature range is about 2 degrees), 4-chlorobenzhydrol (the above temperature range). Is about 1 degree), salicylic acid (the above temperature range is about 1.5 degree), succinimide (the above temperature range is about 0.2 degree), and the like.

  In addition, regarding the above resin examples and their creep amount and sensitivity, the inventor actually conducted experiments to obtain detailed numerical values.

  In addition, the essential characteristics of the resin as the solder covering member 84b are the properties of corrosion resistance and insolubility (slightly soluble) in water. Other properties (creep resistance, high sensitivity, etc.) do not have to be provided, and it is preferable to provide some of them.

  Further, as the resin for the solder covering member 84b, a resin having sublimation property cannot be used, and it is not preferable to use a resin having low chemical resistance that is soluble in an organic solvent such as benzene or acetone.

  Examples of resins that satisfy all or some of the above properties are shown in Table 1 below. The left column is the name of the resin, and the right column is the melting point of the resin. The solder covering member 84b according to the first embodiment of the present invention is selected from the following table, for example.

Embodiment 2
With reference to FIG. 3, the invention according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described below. The second embodiment of the present invention is different from the first embodiment in the configuration of the heat sensitive body 84, and the other basic configurations of the sprinkler head 100 and the operation at the time of fire are the same. Therefore, in the second embodiment, differences from the first embodiment will be described in detail, and members corresponding to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  The solder 84a according to the second embodiment is a columnar fusible alloy housed in the cylinder 81 as in the first embodiment. And the solder coating | coated member 84b has coat | covered the circumference | surroundings of the solder 84a on the whole surface, and the solder 84a is sealed and becomes a structure which is not exposed at all. The resin as an example of the organic compound used as the solder covering member 84b is the same material as that in the first embodiment. That is, in the invention according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, in the state where the solder coating member 84b is coated on the solder 84a, the outer diameter of the solder coating member 84b is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the cylinder 81, and the solder coating member 84b The outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 81 are provided in contact with each other.

  Therefore, even if the sprinkler head 100 is installed in an atmosphere of corrosive gas, as in the first embodiment, the corrosive gas can only enter the gap S1 between the cylinder 81 and the first piston 85. The corrosive gas does not come into contact with the solder 84a. Thereby, the sprinkler head 100 can be operated reliably.

Embodiment 3
In the first and second embodiments described above, the sprinkler head using an arm as the link mechanism has been described as an example. However, the third embodiment of the present invention is different from the first and second embodiments in that a ball is used as the link mechanism. The case where it applies to the used sprinkler head 200 is demonstrated.
<Configuration of Sprinkler Head 200>
The basic configuration and operation of the sprinkler head 200 will be described with reference to FIG. In the third embodiment, the link mechanism that is different from the sprinkler head 100 of the first embodiment will be mainly described, and members corresponding to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. The description is omitted.

  The sprinkler head 200 includes a head main body 11, a frame 21 connected to the head main body 11, a valve body 41 that closes the water discharge port 12 of the head main body 11, a deflector 31 that constitutes a water sprinkling unit during operation, and a water discharge operation. And a link mechanism (thermal decomposition section) for supporting the valve body 41.

  The frame 21 is formed in a cylindrical shape and is connected to the head body 11. A locking step portion 25 protruding inward is provided at the lower portion of the frame 21, and a ball 71 described later is locked to the locking step portion 25.

  The valve body 41 seals the water discharge port 12 through a disc spring 47 provided on a convex portion on the upper surface of the valve body in a normal state. A head portion of a set screw 77 to be described later is pressed against the central portion of the lower portion of the valve body 41. The valve body 41 is supported by a link mechanism.

  A deflector 31 is fixed to the lower part of the valve body 41. A guide rod 34 is connected to the deflector 31, and a stopper ring 35 that is lowered until the guide rod 34 is caught by the locking step portion 25 during a water discharge operation is connected.

  The deflector 31 is configured by a disc having an opening at the center, and is fixed to the lower surface of the flange portion of the valve body 41 with the lower portion of the valve body 41 inserted into the opening. The deflector 31 is provided with insertion holes (for example, three) into which guide rods 34 (for example, three) are inserted. The lower end of the guide rod 34 protrudes from the insertion hole to the deflector 31. It is fixed. Therefore, the valve body 41, the deflector 31, and the guide rod 34 are integrally formed.

  The link mechanism is composed of a heat sensitive part, a ball holding part, and a set screw 77 for fixing various parts constituting the heat sensitive part and the ball holding part, so that the valve body 41 closes the water outlet 12 at normal times. The valve body 41 is supported.

  The heat-sensitive part accommodates the heat-sensitive body 84 that melts by heat, the piston 89 that presses the heat-sensitive body 84, the heat-sensitive plate 91 that transmits the heat of the space where the sprinkler head 200 is installed to the heat-sensitive body 84, the piston 89, and the heat-sensitive body 84. And a cylinder 81 that also functions as a heat sensitive plate.

  The heat sensitive body 84 is melted by heat generated in the event of a fire. The heat sensitive body 84 is described as being formed in a donut shape or the like, but is not limited thereto. The heat sensitive body 84 is inserted from the upper part of the piston 89 and is installed on a flange part of the piston 89 described later. The heat sensitive body 84 according to the present invention will be described in detail later.

  The piston 89 presses the heat sensitive body 84 together with the balancer 75 of the ball holding portion described later. The piston 89 includes a cylindrical portion formed in a cylindrical shape and a flange portion formed in the lower portion of the cylindrical portion. Further, the leg portion of the set screw 77 is screwed into the inner surface of the cylindrical portion, and the piston 89 and the set screw 77 are coupled.

  The piston 89 is coupled and fixed to the set screw 77, while the flange portion of the piston 89 is pressed against the balancer 75 via the heat sensitive plate 91, the cylinder 81, and the heat sensitive body 84. Therefore, the heat sensitive body 84 is pressed by the flange portion of the piston 89 and the cylinder 81.

  The heat sensitive plate 91 transmits heat of the space where the sprinkler head 200 is installed to the heat sensitive body 84. The heat sensitive plate 91 has a substantially donut shape and is configured integrally with a standing portion 81b of a cylinder 81 to be described later.

  The cylinder 81 accommodates a part of the piston 89 and the heat sensitive body 84 and has a function as a heat sensitive plate. This cylinder 81 has a shape in which an opening is formed so that the central portion of the disk-shaped member protrudes upward and the cylindrical portion of the piston 89 is inserted into the central portion. Specifically, the cylinder 81 has a substantially donut shape and forms an upper portion of the cylinder 81, and a cylinder portion that is substantially cylindrical and one of which is connected to the cylinder upper portion 81a and stands vertically. The part 81b is integrally formed. In a normal state, the heat sensitive body 84 is installed in a space formed by the cylinder upper portion 81a and the standing portion 81b of the cylinder 81 and the cylindrical portion and flange portion of the piston 89.

  The standing portion 81 b has a substantially cylindrical shape, and one is connected to the cylinder upper portion 81 a and the other is connected to the heat sensitive plate 91. A heat sensitive member 84 is provided inside the standing portion 81b. That is, the standing portion 81 b covers the side surface portion of the heat sensitive body 84. Here, a gap S <b> 2 (see FIG. 5) through which the molten heat sensitive body 84 flows out is formed between the inner surface of the standing portion 81 b and the flange portion of the piston 89. That is, the melted heat sensitive body 84 mainly flows out from the gap S2. Note that a slight gap S3 (see FIG. 5) is also formed between the cylinder upper portion 81a and the cylindrical portion of the piston 89, and although less than the gap S2, the heat sensitive body 84 flows out.

  Since the cylinder 81 (heat sensitive plate 91) is pressed by the balancer 75, the cylinder 81 (heat sensitive plate 91) presses the upper part of the heat sensitive body 84. As a result, the cylinder 81 (heat sensitive plate 91) is lowered when the heat sensitive member 84 is melted.

  The ball holding portion includes a ball 71 locked to the locking step portion 25, a slider 73 whose lower portion on the outer peripheral side is in contact with the ball 71, and a balancer 75. The balancer 75 presses the cylinder 81. For this reason, the balancer 75 functions as what presses the heat sensitive body 84 by the cylinder 81 and the piston 89.

  The lower portion of the ball 71 is locked in contact with the locking step 25 of the frame 21 and the balancer 75. Further, in this state, since the ball 71 is pressed from above by the slider 73, a force is applied from the slider 73 to the ball 71, and a force acts on the ball 71 in the inward direction. As a result, the ball 71 has a force acting to move the balancer 75 downward.

<Description of Operation of Sprinkler Head 200>
The basic operation of the sprinkler head 200 during a fire will be described with reference to FIG.
When the heat sensitive body 84 melts due to a fire, the cylinder 81 descends, and as the cylinder 81 descends, the balancer 75 moves downward, and accordingly, the ball 71 enters inside. Thereby, the ball 71 is released from the locked state with the locking step portion 25 of the frame 21, and the link mechanism (ball holding portion and heat sensitive portion) falls. If the ball holding portion falls, the water sprinkling portion composed of the valve body 41 and the deflector 31, the guide rod 34, and the stopper ring 35 falls, and water is discharged.

<About the heat sensitive body 84>
With reference to FIG. 5, the heat sensitive body 84 of the invention which concerns on Embodiment 3 of this invention is demonstrated. In the third embodiment, since the same organic compound as that of the first embodiment is used for the solder covering member 84b, description thereof will be omitted.

  The heat sensitive body 84 according to the third embodiment has a donut shape, and is composed of a solder 84a accommodated in the cylinder 81 and a pair (two) donut-shaped flat plates, and a solder coating accommodated in the cylinder 81. Member 84b.

  The inner diameters of the solder 84 a and the pair of solder covering members 84 b are substantially the same as the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion of the piston 89, and the inner peripheral surfaces of the solder 84 a and the pair of solder covering members 84 b are the same as the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the piston 89. It touches. The outer diameters of the solder 84 a and the pair of solder covering members 84 b are substantially the same as the inner diameter of the standing portion 81 b of the cylinder 81, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the solder 84 a and the pair of solder covering members 84 b are It is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the portion 81b.

  One of the pair of solder covering members 84b is provided so as to be in contact with the lower surface of the solder 84a, and the other is provided so as to be in contact with the upper surface of the solder 84a. In other words, the solder covering member 84b provided on the lower surface is provided between the solder 84a and the gap S2 between the inner surface of the standing portion 81b of the cylinder 81 and the flange portion of the piston 89, and on the upper surface. The provided solder covering member 84b is provided between the solder 84a and the gap S3 between the cylinder upper portion 81a and the cylindrical portion of the piston 89. That is, in the heat sensitive body 84, the solder 84a is in contact with the standing portion 81b of the cylinder 81 and the cylindrical portion of the piston 89, and the solder covering member 84b on the upper surface is the cylinder upper portion 81a, the standing portion 81b of the cylinder 81, and The solder coating member 84b on the lower surface is in contact with the cylindrical portion of the piston 89, and is in contact with the standing portion 81b of the cylinder 81, the flange portion of the piston 89, and the cylindrical portion. Thus, the solder 84a is sealed by the solder covering member 84b, the cylinder 81 and the piston 89 so as not to be exposed to the outside air.

  The solder covering member 84b is made of a resin that is an example of an organic compound, and the resin is made of the same resin as described in the first embodiment.

  Therefore, even if the sprinkler head 200 is installed in an atmosphere of corrosive gas, the corrosive gas can enter only the gap S2 and the gap S3 between the cylinder 81 and the piston 89, as in the first embodiment. In other words, the corrosive gas does not come into contact with the solder 84a. Thereby, the sprinkler head 200 can be operated reliably.

  Since the gap S3 is smaller than the gap S2, even if corrosive gas enters the gap S3, the contact area with the heat sensitive body 84 is small and the operation of the sprinkler head is sufficiently possible. Need not be provided.

With reference to FIG. 6, the invention according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described below. The fourth embodiment of the present invention is different from the third embodiment in the configuration of the heat sensitive body 84, and the other basic configurations of the sprinkler head 200 and the operation in the event of a fire are the same. Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, differences from the above-described third embodiment will be described in detail, and members corresponding to the third embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  The solder 84a according to the fourth embodiment is a donut-shaped soluble alloy housed in the cylinder 81 as in the third embodiment. The solder covering member 84b covers the entire surface of the solder 84a so that the solder 84a is not exposed at all. The resin as an example of the organic compound used as the solder covering member 84b is the same material as that in the first embodiment. That is, in the invention according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention, in the state where the solder coating member 84b is coated on the solder 84a, the outer diameter of the solder coating member 84b is substantially the same as the inner diameter of the standing portion 81b of the cylinder 81, It is provided so that the outer peripheral surface of the solder coating member 84b and the inner peripheral surface of the standing portion 81b of the cylinder 81 are in contact with each other. Further, the inner diameter of the solder covering member 84b is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion of the piston 89, and the inner peripheral surface of the solder covering member 84b and the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the piston 89 are in contact.

  Therefore, even if the sprinkler head 100 is installed in an atmosphere of corrosive gas, as in the third embodiment, the corrosive gas reaches the gap S2 and the gap S3 between the cylinder 81 and the flange portion of the piston 89. It can only enter, and corrosive gas does not come into contact with the solder 84a. Thereby, the sprinkler head 200 can be operated reliably.

  In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the case of a so-called flash type sprinkler head in which the deflector descends during operation due to a fire has been described. However, a heat sensitive body (whether metal or resin) corroded by corrosive gas is used. The present invention can be applied to any other sprinkler head, and can be implemented in the same manner with other types of sprinkler heads such as a multi-type.
