Fire source sensor with fire-fighting robot

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the mechanism of a fire extinguishing robot and to extinguish a fire at an appropriate fire extinguishing position by using a fixed type fire extinguishing nozzle provided with a water discharge range covering an investigation area as a fire extinguishing nozzle. ;SOLUTION: A fixed type fire source sensor 20 is used as a fire detection sensor, vertical orientation characteristics to be downwards from a horizontal direction are provided and the investigation of not only the horizontal direction but also a vertical direction is made possible. The fixed type fire extinguishing nozzle 10 whose axial center is turned to a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of this fire extinguishing robot 5 is used as the fire extinguishing nozzle. In the case of extinguishing a fire by the fire extinguishing robot 5, the fire extinguishing position is decided based on fire source detection data. When the fire extinguishing position is decided, the fire extinguishing robot 5 is moved to the position and stopped, a fire extinguisher is discharged from the fire extinguishing nozzle and fire extinguishing activity is started. At the time, a fire extinguishing area is selected, and since the fixed type fire extinguishing nozzle is oriented to a fire source 28, the fire source 28 is surely positioned inside the water discharge range.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO
