AUTOMATIC FIRE TARGETING AND EXTINGUISHING APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

A system for providing an automatic fire extinguishing system including a tank filled with an extinguishing agent with a targeting system with independently mounted targeting servos and targeting gimbal to position an emitter. A microcontroller provides control signals to the targeting servos and an actuation valve. A plurality of temperature sensors electrically connected to the microcontroller send temperature data to the microcontroller which calculates target angles and sends the target angle to the targeting gimbal. The emitter is positioned by the targeting servo positioning the targeting gimbal armatures to the target angles. The microcontroller compares sensor temperature data a predetermined temperature value and sends an open signal to the actuation valve when a sensor temperature data is greater than the predetermined temperature value. The extinguishing agent flows from the tank to the emitter, where it is discharged.

1. A fire-targeting and extinguishing apparatus including a directional sensor system, wherein the directional sensor system includes a plurality of sensors configured in a grid pattern; wherein a weighted average of the sensors' temperatures is used to determine an elevated heat position; and an extinguishing agent emission system which receives the elevated heat position and positions an extinguishing agent emitter to emit extinguishing agent toward the elevated heat position.
