Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of fire fighting equipment, in particular to a maintenance-free opposed piston spring type energy storage device.

Background

The fire threatens the life and property safety of people, and when the fire happens, the life and property safety of people can be ensured to the maximum extent only by extinguishing or restraining the development of the fire at the fastest speed. The water mist fire extinguishing is applied more and more widely as a novel fire extinguishing mode which is efficient, environment-friendly and free of secondary damage. However, due to the uncertainty of fire occurrence, in order to increase the spray response speed after the fire occurs, a pressure stabilizing system is often used, i.e., the main pipeline is filled with water and kept at a certain pressure in a standby state. The pressure stabilizing section of the fire extinguishing system is a pump unit and is arranged in front of each zone control valve, and the pressure stabilizing pressure is generally between 0.5 and 1.2 MPa. Because the compression ratio of water is very low, and pressure regulating relief valve, relief valve all adopt metal hard seal in the system, reveal in the inevitable. The pressure stabilizing pump is frequently started only by the pressure stabilization of the pipeline cavity under the influence of later-stage soft seal aging leakage and field temperature alternation, the single operation time of the pressure stabilizing pump is short (quick start and quick stop), and the pressure stabilizing pump and the motor which are operated for a long time are easy to damage.

It is contemplated that an energy storage device may be used in the system to reduce the operating frequency of the pressure maintenance pump. However, the existing energy storage devices, such as a bladder inflatable energy storage device, a gravity type energy storage device, etc., are available. The leather bag inflatable energy accumulator needs to be inflated periodically for maintenance, and is inconvenient to use. The gravity type energy accumulator has large volume and heavy weight, and is not suitable for being applied to the fire fighting system.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop a maintenance-free energy storage device with small volume.

In the above scheme, through the piston at tubulose body and both ends, and set up end cover and spring in the piston outside, utilize the spring to provide pressure for the piston. When the fire extinguishing agent is filled into the tubular body between the two pistons to the upper pressure limit, the pistons and the springs are compressed to store certain energy, when the pressure of the fire extinguishing agent in a system pipeline is reduced, the fire extinguishing agent in the tubular body can be supplemented into the system pipeline through the liquid inlet and outlet, and the two pistons move close to each other under the action of the springs, so that the space in the tubular body between the pistons is relatively reduced, and the pressure of the fire extinguishing agent in the system pipeline is kept stable basically. And when the pressure given to the piston by the spring and the pressure of the fire extinguishing agent in the system pipeline are reduced to the lower limit, the pressure stabilizing pump is started again to supplement the fire extinguishing agent to the system pipeline and the interior of the tubular body, the spring is compressed again to store energy, and the process is repeated. The time that the pressure of the fire extinguishing agent in the system pipeline is maintained within the required value range can be effectively prolonged in the process, so that the starting frequency of the pressure stabilizing pump can be reduced, the starting interval time of the pressure stabilizing pump is increased, the starting interval time of the pressure stabilizing pump can be generally prolonged to be more than 5 times of the existing time interval, and the running stability and reliability of equipment are ensured.
