Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine transportable Löschpistole, welche einen Löschdüsenkopf aufweist, der an seiner vorderen freien Stirnseite mit einer Mehrzahl von beabstandet zueinander angeordneten Löschdüsen bestückt ist, welche mit einer Löschfluid zuführenden Versorgungsleitung verbindbar sind und mit denen bei Beaufschlagung mit Löschfluid ein Fluidnebel erzeugbar ist.The invention relates to a transportable extinguishing gun, which has a quenching nozzle head, which is equipped at its front free end face with a plurality of spaced apart extinguishing nozzles, which are connectable to a supply line supplying extinguishing fluid and with which a fluid mist can be generated upon exposure to extinguishing fluid.

Eine Löschpistole der eingangs genannten Art ist aus den US-Patent US 3 704 831 bekannt. Bei der bekannten Pistole ist der Düsenkopf drehbar derart angeordnet, daß die auf der Stirnfläche angeordneten Düsenöffnungen durch eine Verdrehung des Kopfes mit der Austrittsöffnung einer Löschfluidversorgungsleitung zur Deckung gebrachtwerden können. Auf diese Weise tritt jeweils aus einer der Düsen ein Löschmittelstrahl aus. Dabei ist eine der Löschdüsen derart ausgebildet, daß sie bei Beaufschlagung mit Löschfluid einen Löschnebel erzeugt.A fire extinguisher of the type mentioned in the introduction is known from US Pat. No. 3,704,831. In the known gun, the nozzle head is rotatably arranged such that the nozzle openings arranged on the end face can be made to coincide by a rotation of the head with the outlet opening of an extinguishing fluid supply line. In this way, each one of the nozzles exits an extinguishing agent jet. In this case, one of the extinguishing nozzles is designed such that it generates an extinguishing mist when exposed to extinguishing fluid.

Bei der bekannten Löschpistole tritt das Löschfluid mit einer relativ hohen kinetischen Energie aus. Der Vorteil der Verwendung eines solchen Löschfluidstrahls besteht darin, daß der Löschmittelstrahl mit einer großen Reichweite in den Bereich des Brandes eingebracht werden kann. Auf diese Weise ist unter anderem der Feuerwehrmann, welcher die Löschanlage bedient, nur einem geringen Verletzungsrisiko ausgesetzt. Um dies zu erreichen, wurden in der Vergangenheit die Wasserschäden als unvermeidlich hingenommen, die durch die stets erforderlichen großen Menge an Löschmittel zum Löschen eines Feuers verursacht werden.In the known extinguishing pistol, the extinguishing fluid exits with a relatively high kinetic energy. The advantage of using such an extinguishing fluid jet is that the extinguishing agent jet can be introduced into the area of the fire with a long range. In this way, among other things, the firefighter who operates the extinguishing system, exposed only a small risk of injury. In order to achieve this, in the past the water damage caused by the always required large amount of extinguishing agent to extinguish a fire has been accepted as inevitable.

Neben der voranstehend erläuterten bekannten Löschpistole ist aus der internationalen Anmeldung WO94/25112 ein stationär zu befestigender Löschdüsenhalter bekannt, bei dem die Löschdüsen auf einer schrägen, kegelförmig ausgebildeten Außenfläche angeordnet sind. Der Vorteil einer solchen Ausbildung des Löschdüsenhalters besteht darin, daß über die Löschdüsen ein relativ großes Raumvolumen kurzfristig mit Löschfluid überstrichen werden kann.In addition to the known extinguishing pistol explained above, international application WO94 / 25112 discloses an extinguishing nozzle holder to be fixed stationarily, in which the extinguishing nozzles are arranged on an oblique, cone-shaped outer surface. The advantage of such a design of the extinguishing nozzle holder is that over the extinguishing nozzles a relatively large volume of space can be swept briefly with extinguishing fluid.

Neben den herkömmlichen Löschverfahren, bei denen große Mengen von Löschfluid in den Brandherd geleitet werden, ist es bekannt, zum Löschen eines Feuers einen Fluidnebel einzusetzen. Durch das Einsprühen eines derartigen Flüssigkeitsnebels in die Umgebung des Brandherdes wird die Temperatur der den Brandherd umgebenden Gase herabgesenkt. Gleichzeitig wird der für den Verbrennungsvorgang benötigte Sauerstoff aus der Umgebung des Brandes verdrängt. Durch die Temperaturherabsetzung und die Verdrängung des Sauerstoffs wird schließlich der Brand erstickt. Dabei liegt ein weiterer besonderer Vorteil des Löschens mit einem Fluidnebel darin, daß nur geringe Flüssigkeitsmengen zum Löschen benötigt werden.In addition to the conventional extinguishing methods in which large amounts of extinguishing fluid are passed into the fire, it is known to use a fluid mist to extinguish a fire. By spraying such a liquid mist in the vicinity of the source of the fire, the temperature of the gases surrounding the fire is lowered. At the same time, the oxygen required for the combustion process is displaced from the environment of the fire. By lowering the temperature and displacing the oxygen, the fire is finally stifled. Another particular advantage of quenching with a fluid mist is that only small amounts of liquid are needed to extinguish it.

Aus der WO-A-92/20453 ist ein Löschdüsenkopf für stationäre Löschanlagen bekannt, welcher ebenfalls an seiner vorderen, freien Stirnseite eine Mehrzahl von Löschdüsen besitzt. Jede dieser Löschdüsen erzeugt bei Beaufschlagung mit aus einem Druckspeicher entnommenen Löschfluid einen Löschnebel. Abhängig vom Druck in der Versorgungsleitung, über welche der Löschdüsenkopf mit Löschfluid versorgt wird, werden eine zentrale Düse des Löschdüsenkopfes alleine oder alle Düsen des Löschdüsenkopfes gemeinsam mit Fluid beaufschlagt. Zu diesem Zweck ist ein Kolben vorgesehen, der den Zufluß zu den seitlich der zentralen Düse angeordneten Löschdüsen absperrt, wenn der Druck in der Versorgungsleitung unter einen Mindestwert sinkt. Auf diese Weise kann zumindest aus der zentralen Löschdüse auch dann noch Löschfluid aus dem Löschdüsenkopf ausgebracht werden, wenn der von dem Druckspeicher abgegebene Druck soweit absinkt, daß bei voller Öffnung aller Löschdüsen eine ordnungsgemäße Erzeugung des Löschnebels nicht mehr gewährleistet wäre. Da die Funktionsweise des Löschdüsenkopfes jedoch fest mit dem Druckverlauf in der Versorgungsleitung gekoppelt ist, kann bei Verwendung eines solchen Löschdüsenkopfes nicht gewährleistet werden, daß zu jedem Zeitpunkt der für die Bekämpfung eines Brandes optimale Löschnebel zur Verfügung steht.From WO-A-92/20453 a quenching nozzle head for stationary extinguishing systems is known, which also has at its front, free end face a plurality of extinguishing nozzles. Each of these extinguishing nozzles generates an extinguishing mist when exposed to extinguishing fluid taken from a pressure accumulator. Depending on the pressure in the supply line, via which the extinguishing nozzle head is supplied with extinguishing fluid, a central nozzle of the extinguishing nozzle head alone or all nozzles of the extinguishing nozzle head are acted upon together with fluid. For this purpose, a piston is provided which shuts off the flow to the extinguishing nozzles arranged laterally of the central nozzle when the pressure in the supply line drops below a minimum value. In this way, at least from the central extinguishing nozzle even then extinguishing fluid can be discharged from the extinguishing nozzle head when the pressure discharged from the accumulator pressure drops so far that at full opening all extinguishing nozzles proper generation of the extinguishing mist would no longer be guaranteed. However, since the operation of the extinguishing nozzle head is firmly coupled to the pressure curve in the supply line, it can not be guaranteed when using such a nozzle that at all times the optimum for fighting a fire extinguishing mist is available.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Löschpistole der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß bei ihr die zum Löschen eines Feuers benötigte Fluidmenge bei einer gesteigerten Wirksamkeit des Fluidnebels reduziert ist.The object of the invention is to improve a fire extinguisher of the type mentioned in that it reduces the amount of fluid required to extinguish a fire at an increased efficiency of the fluid mist.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine transportable Löschpistole nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a transportable extinguishing gun according to claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, anstelle von oder zusätzlich zu einer zentralen Hauptdüse weitere Löschdüsen vorzusehen, welche einen fein verteilten Löschnebel erzeugen, Durch die Auswahl der einzelnen Löschdüsen, von denen jede je nach Anwendungsfall beispielsweise Nebel anderer Art und Zusammensetzung erzeugen kann, ihre Anzahl, ihre jeweilige Betriebsweise, die Art ihrer Beaufschlagung mit Löschfluid und ihre Positionierung auf dem Löschdüsenkopf ist es möglich, einen Löschnebel von besonderer Qualität zu erzeugen. Dieser Löschnebel ist unter anderem hinsichtlich der Art und Größe der in ihm enthaltenen einzelnen Nebeltröpfchen optimal zusammengesetzt.According to the invention, instead of or in addition to a central main nozzle to provide more extinguishing nozzles, which produce a finely dispersed extinguishing mist, By selecting the individual extinguishing nozzles, each of which, depending on the application, for example, fog of other nature and composition can produce their number, their respective Operation, the nature of their exposure to extinguishing fluid and their positioning on the extinguishing nozzle head, it is possible to produce a Löschnebel of special quality. This extinguishing mist is optimally composed, inter alia, with regard to the nature and size of the individual mist droplets contained in it.

Darüber hinaus ermöglicht es die erfindungsgemäße Löschpistole, während des Löscheinsatzes die Art und Zusammensetzung des erzeugten Löschnebels an die sich mit fortschreitendem Löscherfolg ändernden Anforderungen anzupassen. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass über eine Ventilkombination wahlweise eine der Löschdüsen für sich und/oder Gruppen der Löschdüsen mit Löschfluid beaufschlagbar sind. Auf diese Weise können beispielsweise verschiedene Löschdüsenkombinationen zur Erzeugung eines mit einem breiten Spektrum unterschiedlicher Fluidtröpfchen zusammengesetzten Löschnebels benutzt werden. Ebenso ist es beispielsweise im Hinblick auf eine möglichst schnelle Abkühlung der Raumtemperatur zu Beginn des Löschens möglich, eine Löschnebel zu erzeugen, der aus nur einer einzigen, besonders feinverteilten Tröpfchenform zusammengesetzt ist. Bei fortschreitendem Löscherfolg können dann durch Öffnen zusätzlicher Düsen diesem feinen Nebel größere Tropfen beigemischt werden, um beispielsweise Glutnester direkt zu bekämpfen.In addition, the extinguishing pistol according to the invention makes it possible, during the firing order, to adapt the type and composition of the generated extinguishing mist to the requirements which change as extinguishing success progresses. This is achieved in that a valve combination optionally one of the extinguishing nozzles for themselves and / or groups of extinguishing nozzles are acted upon with extinguishing fluid. In this way, for example, different extinguishing nozzle combinations can be used to produce a composite with a wide range of different fluid droplets Löschnebel. Likewise, it is possible, for example with regard to the fastest possible cooling of the room temperature at the beginning of the deletion, to produce an extinguishing mist, which is composed of only a single, particularly finely divided droplet shape. As the extinguishing success progresses, it can then be fine by opening additional nozzles Mist larger drops are added to combat, for example, Glutnester directly.

Je nach Anwendungsfall können die einzelnen Löschdüsen in einer Linie nebeneinander angeordnet sein. Dies kann für solche Fälle günstig sein, bei denen über eine große Fläche ein gleichmäßiger Löschnebelaustritt gewünscht wird. Alternativ oder ergänzend können die Düsen auch auf der Umfangslinie eines Kreissbogens oder auf einem geschlossenen Kreises angeordnet sein.Depending on the application, the individual extinguishing nozzles can be arranged in a line next to each other. This can be beneficial for those cases where a uniform extinguishing mist outlet is desired over a large area. Alternatively or additionally, the nozzles can also be arranged on the circumferential line of a circular arc or on a closed circle.

Für den Fall, daß neben den auf der Stirnseite angeordneten Löschdüsen eine zusätzliche Hauptdüse vorgesehen ist, aus der bei Bedarf kurzfristig größere Mengen Löschmittel ausgebrachtwerden können, ist es günstig, wenn der Mittelpunkt des Kreises oder des Kreisbogens, auf dem die Düsen angeordnet sind, im Mittelpunkt dieser zentral angeordneten Hauptdüse angeordnet ist. Eine gleichmäßige Verteilung des Löschnebels wird auch dadurch erreicht, daß die einzelnen Düsen in regelmäßig gleichem Abstand zueinander angeordnet sind.In the event that an additional main nozzle is provided in addition to the extinguishing nozzles arranged on the front side, from which larger quantities of extinguishing agent can be applied in the short term, it is favorable if the center of the circle or circular arc on which the nozzles are arranged in the Center of this centrally arranged main nozzle is arranged. A uniform distribution of the extinguishing mist is also achieved in that the individual nozzles are arranged at regular equidistant from each other.

Eine im Hinblick auf eine einfache Wartbarkeit der Löschpistole vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Löschdüsenkopf lösbar an einer Trägereinheit befestigt ist.An advantageous with regard to easy maintainability of the extinguishing gun embodiment is characterized in that the extinguishing nozzle head is releasably secured to a support unit.

Die schnelle Verteilung des Löschnebels in einem möglichst großen Raum kann dadurch begünstigt werden, daß mindestens eine bestimmte Anzahl von Löschdüsen auf einem schräg nach hinten zurückweichenden Flächenabschnitt der vorderen Stirnfläche des Löschdüsenkopfes angeordnet sind. Die Geschwindigkeit, mit der ein Raumvolumen gefüllt werden kann, kann noch dadurch gesteigert werden, daß der Löschdüsenkopf eine Seitenfläche aufweist, an der zusätzlich mindestens eine Löschdüse angeordnet ist.The rapid distribution of the extinguishing mist in the largest possible space can be facilitated by the fact that at least a certain number of extinguishing nozzles are arranged on an obliquely backward receding surface portion of the front end face of the extinguishing nozzle head. The speed with which a volume of space can be filled can be further increased by the fact that the extinguishing nozzle head has a side surface on which at least one extinguishing nozzle is additionally arranged.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Ansprüchen und der nachfolgenden Beispielsbeschreibung zu entnehmen. Darin wird die Erfindung anhand einer ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellenden Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Further advantageous embodiments of the invention can be taken from the claims and the following example description. Therein, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing illustrating an embodiment. Show it:
Fig. 1
a extinguishing nozzle head in frontal view;
Fig. 2
a fire pistol in a partially broken longitudinal section.

Die in Fig. 2 gezeigte transportable Löschpistole weist einen Löschdüsenkopf 1 auf, der rotationssymmetrisch aufgebaut ist und an dessen Stirnseite S eine Stirnfläche 2 ausgebildet ist. Im Zentrum der Stirnfläche 2 ist eine Ausnehmung 3 eingeformt, die eine zentrale Löschdüse 4 aufnimmt. Die zentrale Löschdüse 4 ist in eine Schraubenaufnahme 5 einer Trägereinheit 6 eingeschraubt, welche mit einer ersten Versorgungsleitung 7 verbunden und am Gehäuserohr R der transportablen Löschpistole L befestigt ist.The portable extinguishing pistol shown in Fig. 2 has a quenching nozzle head 1, which is constructed rotationally symmetrical and on whose end face S an end face 2 is formed. In the center of the end face 2, a recess 3 is formed, which receives a central extinguishing nozzle 4. The central extinguishing nozzle 4 is screwed into a screw receptacle 5 of a support unit 6, which is connected to a first supply line 7 and fixed to the housing tube R of the portable fire extinguisher L.

An die Stirnfläche 2 angeformt ist ein umlaufender Flächenabschnitt 8, der konisch ausgebildet ist und gegenüber der vorderen Stirnfläche 2 in einem Winkel α zurückweicht. Auf dem Flächenabschnitt 8 sind Löschdüsen 9 angeordnet, welche mit einer zweiten Versorgungsleitung 10 verbunden sind. Die Löschdüsen 9 sind in regelmäßigen Winkelabständen β zueinander auf einem Kreis K angeordnet, der konzentrisch zur Öffnung 4a der zentralen Löschdüse 4 ausgerichtet ist. Bei Druckbeaufschlagung der Versorgungsleitung 10 erzeugen die Löschdüsen 9 einen Löschnebel, bei dem die einzelnen Flüssigkeitströpfchen ein geringes Volumen aufweisen und feinverteilt aus den Düsenöffnungen 9a der Löschdüsen 9 in die Umgebung eines Brandherdes austreten.
Um ein Austauschen der Löschdüsen 9 auf einfache Weise zu ermöglichen, sind diese in Schraubaufnahmen 11 lösbar eingeschraubt, welche mit der zweiten Versorgungsleitung 10 verbunden sind.
Formed on the end face 2 is a circumferential surface section 8 which is conical and recedes at an angle α with respect to the front end face 2. On the surface portion 8 extinguishing nozzles 9 are arranged, which are connected to a second supply line 10. The extinguishing nozzles 9 are arranged at regular angular intervals β to each other on a circle K, which is aligned concentrically with the opening 4a of the central extinguishing nozzle 4. Upon pressurization of the supply line 10, the extinguishing nozzles 9 generate an extinguishing mist, in which the individual liquid droplets have a low volume and emerge finely distributed from the nozzle openings 9a of the extinguishing nozzles 9 in the environment of a fire.
In order to enable a replacement of the extinguishing nozzles 9 in a simple manner, they are screwed detachably into screw receptacles 11, which are connected to the second supply line 10.

An den Flächenabschnitt 8 der Stirnseite S des Löschdüsenkopfes 1 schließt sich eine radial umlaufende Seitenfläche 12 an. In die Seitenfläche 12 sind in regelmäßigen Winkelabständen æ zueinander beabstandet weitere Löschdüsen 13 angeordnet, die über eine dritte, nicht gezeigte Versorgungsleitung mit Druck beaufschlagbar sind. Die Löschdüsenköpfe 13 sitzen ebenfalls in Schraubaufnahmen 14 lösbar ein und können bei Verschleiß auf einfache Weise ausgetauscht werden.At the surface portion 8 of the end face S of the extinguishing nozzle head 1, a radially encircling side surface 12 connects. In the side surface 12 are at regular angular intervals æ spaced apart further extinguishing nozzles 13 are arranged, which can be acted upon by a third, not shown supply line with pressure. The extinguishing nozzle heads 13 are also located in screw receptacles 14 releasably and can be easily replaced when worn.

Die Löschdüsen 9 sind gemeinsam als Gruppe mit Löschfluid über die zweite Versorgungsleitung 10 beaufschlagbar. Ebenso sind die Löschdüsen 13 als Gruppe gemeinsam über die dritte, nicht gezeigte Versorgungsleitung mit Löschfluid beaufschlagt. Dies ermöglicht es, die zentrale Löschdüse 4, die aus den Löschdüsen 9 gebildete Gruppe und die aus den Löschdüsen 13 gebildete Gruppe jeweils unabhängig voneinander mit Löschfluid zu beaufschlagen.The extinguishing nozzles 9 can be acted upon jointly as a group with extinguishing fluid via the second supply line 10. Similarly, the extinguishing nozzles 13 are acted as a group together on the third, not shown supply line with extinguishing fluid. This makes it possible to independently apply extinguishing fluid to the central extinguishing nozzle 4, the group formed by the extinguishing nozzles 9, and the group formed by the extinguishing nozzles 13, respectively.

Ebenso ist es möglich die beiden Gruppen von Löschdüsen 9,13 und die zentrale Löschdüse 4 in verschiedenen Kombinationen miteinander zu betreiben. Um dies zu erreichen, ist eine nicht näher erläuterte Ventilkombination V vorgesehen. Über eine mit Schrägbohrungen versehene Zwischenscheibe 20 sind die den beiden Versorgungsleitungen 7,10 und der dritten, nicht gezeigten Versorgungsleitung zugeordneten Austrittskanäle der Ventilkombination V mit den Versorgungsleitungen 7, 10 und der dritten, nicht gezeigten Versorgungsleitung verbunden. Durch die Verwendung der Zwischenscheibe 20 ist es möglich, das Ventilgehäuse der Ventilkombination einfach auszugestalten und gleichzeitig die Anordnung der Versorgungsleitung 7,10 und der dritten Versorgungsleitung so zu wählen, daß sie einen möglichst geringen Raum einnehmen. It is also possible to operate the two groups of extinguishing nozzles 9,13 and the central extinguishing nozzle 4 in different combinations with each other. To achieve this, a non-illustrated valve combination V is provided. Via an intermediate disc 20 provided with oblique bores, the outlet channels of the valve combination V associated with the two supply lines 7, 10 and the third supply line (not shown) are connected to the supply lines 7, 10 and the third supply line (not shown). By using the washer 20, it is possible to design the valve housing of the valve combination simple and at the same time to choose the arrangement of the supply line 7,10 and the third supply line so that they occupy as small a space as possible.
