For example, each of the plurality of second injection pipes 420 may be disposed at four corners of the rectangular parallelepiped-shaped space formed by the frame 300.

Each of the first injection pipe 410 and the second injection pipe 420 may have at least one opening through which the extinguishing material is sprayed. For example, the opening of the first injection pipe 410 may face the upper surface of the rack (R), and the opening of the second injection pipe 420 may face the side of the rack (R). For example, the diameter of the opening of the first injection pipe 410 may be larger than the diameter of the opening of the second injection pipe 420. Additionally, for example, the shape of the opening of the first injection pipe 410 may be different from the shape of the opening of the second injection pipe 420. According to embodiments, the openings of each of the first injection pipe 410 and the second injection pipe 420 may protrude from each of the first injection pipe 410 and the second injection pipe 420. Meanwhile, by forming the first and second injection pipes 410 and 420 in this way, the fire extinguishing material can be sprayed into each part of the target device, and a large amount of fire extinguishing material can be sprayed simultaneously so that the target device can be sprayed on the fire extinguishing material in a short period of time. It can be locked in time. On the other hand, when the target device includes a battery cell of an energy storage device, a large amount of fire extinguishing material sprayed through the first injection pipe 410 can lower the temperature of the target device and is discharged through the second injection pipe 420. The sprayed extinguishing material can directly contact the battery cell, helping to directly extinguish the fire in the battery cell.

The first valve 430 may control at least one of whether to inject fire extinguishing material through each of the first injection pipe 410 and the second injection pipe 420, the injection amount, and the injection speed. The first valve 430 may be, for example, a solenoid valve that opens and closes by a current signal.

According to embodiments, as the spray device 400 sprays the fire extinguishing material, the fire extinguishing material may fill the space formed by the fire cover 100. At this time, at least some of the target devices may be submerged in the filled fire extinguishing material. That is, the fire cover 100 may form a water tank filled with extinguishing substances, and at least some of the target devices may be submerged in the water tank.

According to the fire control device and its control method according to embodiments of the present disclosure, the oxygen supply is blocked by deploying the fire cover 100 to prevent the oxygen concentration in the area adjacent to the target device from reaching the oxygen concentration required for combustion. In addition to using a suffocation fire extinguishing method, a cooling fire extinguishing method is used to prevent the temperature of the target device from reaching the flash point (i.e., ignition point) by using state change energy by spraying fire extinguishing material into the space formed by the fire cover 100. By using it, you can prevent the spread of fire and minimize damage from fire.

According to embodiments, the fire control device according to embodiments of the present disclosure may further include a fire cover sensor that detects the height of the fire cover 100. The injection device 400 may be controlled in response to a signal from the fire cover sensor. That is, when the raising of the fire cover 100 is completed (that is, when the deployment of the fire cover 100 is completed), the fire cover sensor can control the spray device 400 to spray the fire extinguishing material.

More specifically, when the fire cover 100 is raised above a certain height, at least one of direct input and indirect input may be transmitted to the fire cover sensor, and accordingly, the fire cover sensor may send a signal for controlling the injection device 400. can be created. A case where a direct input is transmitted to the fire cover sensor may be, for example, a case where the fire cover 100 directly contacts the fire cover sensor. Additionally, when an indirect input is transmitted to the fire cover sensor, for example, at least one of an electrical signal and a mechanical signal regarding the rising height of the fire cover 100 may be transmitted to the fire cover sensor. However, this is only an example and the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and even if the rise of the fire cover 100 is not completed (i.e., even if the fire cover 100 is not fully deployed), a spray device ( Extinguishing material may be sprayed from 400). The fire cover sensor may be placed on at least one of the rack (R) where the target device is placed, the target device, the fire cover 100, the deployment device 200, and the frame 300. For example, the fire cover sensor may be placed at the height at which the fire cover 100 has risen to its maximum in order to detect whether the rise of the fire cover 100 has ended.

Meanwhile, according to embodiments, the fire cover sensor may perform an operation for fire control after the fire cover 100 is deployed when the space formed by the fire cover 100 satisfies set conditions. For example, if a part of the target device that requires fire control is located in the space formed by the deployed fire cover 100, the fire cover sensor can control the spray device 400 to spray the fire extinguishing material, and The fire in the target device can be controlled by the extinguishing agent filling the space. In this way, the fire cover sensor can check the part requiring fire control, and in response, check whether the fire cover 100 has been deployed to the extent that fire control can be performed, and the spray device 400 can detect the fire extinguishing agent. can be effectively controlled to spray.

Additionally, according to embodiments, the fire cover sensor may check whether the fire cover 100 is deployed by detecting the operating state of the deployment device 200. For example, when the deployment device 200 includes a fluid cylinder 210, the fire cover sensor detects whether the fluid cylinder 210 has operated to the extent necessary for deployment of the fire cover 100 and detects whether the fire cover 100 is operated to the extent necessary to deploy the fire cover 100. It is possible to check whether the cover 100 is deployed and to effectively control the spray device 400 to spray fire extinguishing substances.

In this specification (especially in the patent claims), the use of the term “above” and similar referential terms may refer to both the singular and the plural. In addition, when a range is described, it includes individual values within the range (unless there is a statement to the contrary), which is the same as describing each individual value constituting the range in the detailed description. Finally, unless there is an explicit ordering of the steps constituting the method or a statement to the contrary, the steps may be performed in any suitable order. The order of description of the above steps is not necessarily limited. The use of any examples or illustrative terms (e.g., etc.) is merely for illustrating the technical idea in detail, and the scope is not limited by the examples or illustrative terms unless limited by the patent claims. Additionally, a person skilled in the art will know that various modifications, combinations, and changes may be made according to design conditions and factors within the scope of the appended patent claims or their equivalents.
