Fire Sprinkler Station Mobile

Abstract

A system for fighting fire, includes a timer unit with an electrical power input and out line. The timer is connected to a flow switch that response to water movement. The water movement occurs when the glass bulb shatters in a sprinkler head. The glass bulb contains a fluid which expands when exposed to heat. When the rated temperature is reached, the fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to activate and water to flow. The flow of the water tells the flow switch to turn on the timer that is set for in this example one hundred and ten seconds. The timer turns on the pump. The pump gets it water from a water tank. The pump forces the water threw the pressurize pipe system to one or more sprinkler heads. The pressure is maintain by check valves, that hold a constant 40 psi. This system is mobile. The system will need to be maintain every six month. After the system puts out a fire it will need be reset.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The inventor provides a unique fire sprinkler system on wheels. Enabling fire protection for homes and buildings, without fire protection. The new system can be rolled in and installed easily and for less cost. This example has three sprinkler heads for the kitchen, bedroom, living room. The present invention is described in enabling detail in the following examples, which may represent more than one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a close up perspective view of an fire sprinkler system 99 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fire sprinkler system 99 is in this example has three sprinkler heads 101. Fire sprinkler system 99 in this view has a flow switch 107. Fire sprinkler system 99 in this view has a expansion tank 110 that has 40 psi of pressure. Fire sprinkler 99 in this view has a three hose valve 103 that is used to pressurize the fire sprinkler system. Fire sprinkler system 99 in this view has a check valve 113 that holds the water and pressure in place. Fire sprinkler system 99 in this view has a glass bulb 100 inside the fire sprinkler.

The glass bulb contains a fluid which expands when exposed to heat. When the rated temperature is reached, the fluid expands sufficiently to shatter the glass bulb, allowing the sprinkler to active, and water to flow. Fire sprinkler system 99 in this example has a expansion tank 110. When the glass bulb 100 brakes the water from the expansion tank 110 flows threw the flow switch 107. When the water pass threw the flow switch 107. Fire sprinkler system 99 is in this example has a timer 133.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of fire sprinkler system support structure 200 illustrating a frame 117 structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this example the timer 133 is set for one hundred and ten seconds. The timer 133 has been turned on by the flow switch 107. Fire sprinkler system 200 in this view has a pump 222. The pump 222 in this example has two power sources, a pump cord 227 to power the pump 222 to pressurize the fire sprinkler system. In this example the pump 222 has a second power source coming from the timer 133. This is the power that runs the pump for a set time period. When the timer 133 turns the pump 222 on. In this example a discharge port 221 pumps the water. In this example threw a PVC plastic pipe system 140. The water flow to the sprinkler head 101 that the glass bulb has shatter 100 from the heat in the room. In this example the pump 222 empties a water tank 118 after the one hundred and ten seconds. In this example the timer turns off. In this example the fire fighting system needs to be reset.

FIG. 3 in this example shows the front view and a tank 118. In this example the water gravity feeds threw 140 to the pump 222.

FIG. 4 is a side view of the fire sprinkler system, without cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 5 is a back view of the fire sprinkler system, without cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the fire sprinkler system with a cabinet 137 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the timer unit of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment includes a socket 134. This embodiment includes wire 115 from the flow switch 107. This embodiment includes wire 116 from the flow switch 107. These two wires come from the flow switch 107 and turn on the timer 133. Socket unit 134 includes a wire 331 that leads to pump 222. Socket unit 134 includes a wire 332 that leads to pump 222. Wire 331 and 332 power the pump 222 for a set time period. Power into the timer is supplied by AC via a plug 128.

FIG. 8 is a perspective, exploded view drawing of a expansion tank and water tank, according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment a diaphragm 111 fills with one gallon of water pressurized to 40 psi. When the glass bulb 100 shatters. The water from the diaphragm passes threw the flow switch 107. The flow switch starts the timer.

FIG. 9 is a process flow chart a 600 illustrating steps for the fire sprinkler systems according to an embodiment of the present invention. At step 602 glass bulb brakes in sprinkler head from over heating and releases the water.

Step 603 flow switch detects water movement. Step 604 flow switch tells the timer to turn on. Step 605 the timer turns on the pump. Step 606 the pump runs for designated time. Step 607 after time expires the timer turns the pump off.

It will be apparent to one with skill in the art that the fire sprinkler system of the invention may be provided using some or all of the mentioned features and components without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
