Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of a vehicle fire protection device and a vehicle having the same according to the present invention.

As is well known, the major components of a car can be divided into two parts: the body and the chassis. Detailed description of the invention includes the body and the chassis as a body.

Referring to FIG. 2, the engine 20 is installed in the engine room 110 formed in the body 100, and the engine room 110 is covered by the bonnet 111. The fuel tank 10 is installed behind the body 100, and the fuel of the fuel tank 10 is supplied to the fuel filter 40 along the fuel supply pipe 30. The fuel of the fuel filter 40 is supplied to the engine 20 by a fuel pump (not shown).

Inside the bonnet 111, a container 210 containing a digestive liquid and a nozzle 240 for extinguishing liquid injection are provided. The nozzle 240 and the container 210 are connected by the fire extinguishing pipe 230, and a valve 220 is installed between the nozzle 240 and the fire extinguishing pipe 23. The valve 220 is connected to a controller (not shown). The controller includes a temperature sensor (not shown), an impact sensor (not shown), and an odor sensor (not shown) respectively installed at the engine 20 and the bonnet 111. Are connected together.

The controller detects and considers the temperature, impact force, and smell of the temperature sensor, impact sensor, and odor sensor, and opens the valve 220 in an appropriate position. In more detail, since the nozzles 240 are installed at different positions in the bonnet 111, the controller may inject the extinguishing liquid to a part that is at risk of fire and / or a part where a fire is generated based on the signal of the sensor. Opening the valve 220 in a proper position so that the extinguishing liquid in the container 210 can be injected through the nozzle 240.

As such, the extinguishing liquid sprayed through the nozzle 240 effectively cools only the overheated portion so that a fire does not occur, and not only prevents the fuel of leakage from being ignited, but also effectively extinguish the generated fire.

A fire protection device of a vehicle having a fire protection device according to the present invention configured as described above is operated as follows.

When fuel leaks from the vehicle's fuel system, the leaked fuel is vaporized and the odor sensor detects the vaporized odor and delivers it to the controller. The controller informs the driver of the fuel leakage through the lamp (not shown) on the instrument panel (not shown) and waits for a command based on the signal of the odor sensor. If the signal of the odor sensor is a urgent signal that does not need to be notified to the driver, the controller opens the valve 220 at an appropriate position to inject the extinguishing liquid.

When the vehicle crashes, the impact sensor transmits the impact force to the controller. The controller informs the driver through a lamp in the instrument cluster and waits for a command based on the signal from the shock sensor. If the signal of the shock sensor is a urgent signal that does not need to be notified to the driver, the controller opens the valve 220 at an appropriate position to inject the extinguishing fluid.

When the car is overheated, the temperature sensor sends the temperature to the controller.
