FIRE-EXTINGUISHING ROBOT ASSEMBLY Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A62C37/00 

FIELD: fire-fighting, particularly fire-extinguishing robots.

SUBSTANCE: fire-extinguishing robot assembly comprises two or more fire-extinguishing robots. Each fire-extinguishing robot comprises fire monitor with vertical and horizontal aiming drives, nozzle with jet spraying angle change drive and local control panel, which are connected with commutation unit at inlet and with control device at outlet. Control device generates signals to control fire monitor position change and fire-extinguishing operation. Installed on the fire monitor is fire detecting and telemetering device, which is arranged so that optical axis thereof extends in fire-extinguishant supply direction. Said device is communicated with video signal processing device, which executes fire site coordinate determination algorithms. Video signal processing device is connected with video monitor and control device. Fire-extinguishing robots are installed so that each point of space to be protected is sprayed with at least two fire-extinguishant jets and controlled by two fire detecting and telemetering devices. Fire monitors have disc gates with drives and pressure sensors attached to commutation unit at inlet thereof. Commutation unit has outlet linked to control device.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of fire site coordinate determination and possibility of jet aiming with taking into consideration of fire pipeline pressure change, improved noise immunity, response, sensitivity and reliability.
