Description
FIRE EXTINGUISHER TRACKING SYSTEM
Technical Field
The invention relates to a fire extinguisher tracking system, allowing instant tracking of fire extinguishers used particularly in industrial areas and enabling information transfer to both a user and a supplier company.
State of Art
In the event of a possible fire, the first effective auxiliary extinguishing equipment to be used is a fire extinguisher. Fire extinguishers exist in every aspect of our lives. People and institutions having fire extinguishers in stock determine the number of fire extinguishers in line with risk status. The necessity and importance of the fire extinguishers enhance at this level. Maintenances and controls of fire extinguishers not having been used for long years should be realized by building and site managements on a certain basis.
If the maintenance and control of the fire extinguishers are not performed for a long period of time, the functions of the same may fade away.
Periodical controls and maintenances of all fire extinguishers are also performed in accordance with certain standards. In-situ general controls of the extinguisher devices are performed annually in line with the considerations specified on the standards thereof and at the end of a four-year period, all extinguisher substances present therein should be revised and subjected to hydrostatic tests. However, expired fire extinguishers cannot be tracked with ease.
An attempt to use an expired fire extinguisher during a fire may lead to major losses in terms of a company or an individual.
The invention relates to a fire extinguisher tracking system developed with the intent to solve the aforementioned problems.
Object of the Invention
The present invention relates to a fire extinguisher tracking system satisfying all aforementioned requirements, eliminating all disadvantages and bringing some additional advantages.
The main object of the tracking system of the invention is to enable occupational safety.
Another object of the invention is to enable continuous tracking.
Drawings for Understanding of the Invention
For a full understanding of the structure of the present invention and advantages thereof along with additional elements, it should be evaluated with drawings explained below.

Detailed Description of the Invention
The invention relates to the fire extinguisher tracking system, allowing instant tracking of fire extinguisher (10) used particularly in industrial areas and enabling information transfer to both a user and a supplier company. The fire extinguisher (10) of the invention enables the transfer of required information to the relevant institution thanks to the data transfer module (12) thereon. The data transfer module (12) is operable as a GPRS or GSM modem and realizes the transfer of the required data to the relevant center in line with the data coming from the manometer (1 1 ) located on the fire extinguisher.
During the use of the fire extinguisher (10), the extinguisher chemical is pushed out from the outlet (14) with a certain pressure upon pressing the trigger (13) during its use.
Pressure and chemical balance within the fire extinguisher (10) change during its use. Resistance values and tension, which vary in accordance with the tension caused on the fire extinguisher (10), are measured by attaching a surface micro-tensiometer (18) to the fire extinguisher (10). The pressure within the fire extinguisher (10) is again tracked with the manometer (1 1 ) positioned on the side of the valve with the outlet (14) of the fire extinguisher (10). There is also a T-shaped connection apparatus (15) between the fire extinguisher (10) and the manometer (11 ) enabling their interconnection. An outlet signal is sent with the dropping of the pressure on said manometer (11 ) below a certain value. The outlet signal is directly processed, sent to the data transfer module (12), and transmitted to the relevant tracking center.
With the decrease of pressure within the fire extinguisher (10) due to low ambient temperature, breaking, impact, or use, the mechanical pressure piston moves downward, thusly enabling a signal by means of providing the low-pressure circuit on the electronic card with energy. The outlet signal is directly processed, sent to the data transfer module (12), and transmitted to the relevant tracking center. All of these systems can be used for dry chemical powder, foam, and gas extinguishing systems; and the substance is discarded outside the fire extinguisher (10) with the extinguisher outlet pipe (19) from which the fire extinguishing substance exits.
The increase in the ambient temperature, the excessive gas transfer, the high humidity of the environment, and the change in the density of the chemical inside the fire extinguisher (10) cause an increase of pressure. This increased pressure will move the mechanical pressure piston upward, thusly energizing the high-pressure circuit on the electronic card and providing a signal. The outlet signal is directly processed, sent to the data transfer module (12), and transmitted to the relevant tracking center. All of these systems can be used for dry chemical
powder, foam, and gas extinguishing systems; and the substance is again discarded outside the fire extinguisher (10) with the extinguisher outlet pipe (19) from which the fire extinguishing substance exits.
The chemical in the fire extinguishers reacts with the high humidity in the environment and its density and hardness change, which causes micron-level expansion in the tank body.
With a micro load cell to be placed in the tank body, this expansion in the tank body will give a command to the data detection circuit on the load cell and it will be sent from here as an error command to the electronic card and will provide a high-pressure warning to the data reader (16) via the card.
The chemical in the fire extinguishers reacts with the high humidity in the environment and its density and hardness change, and it solidifies due to its chemical structure. With a hardness/density level tip (17), which is used to measure the hardness detection/precise mechanical level, to be placed in the tank, solidification time is checked and a signal is sent through the electronic card.
All of these systems can be used for dry chemical powder, foam, and gas extinguishing systems.
