Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of fire extinction. More particularly, the present invention relates to systems and methods for performing fire extinction, e.g. of electrical vehicles, especially suitable for underground parking lots.
  • firefighters may typically use a type of container, wherein the burning electrical vehicle is positioned and which is filled with a suitable fire extinguishing or cooling agent.
  • European patent application EP3890843 describes a closable bag in which a vehicle can be positioned and allowing filling of the bag when the vehicle would catch fire.
  • US patent application US20220134154 and international patent application WO202311189 describe solutions of water fillable walls in between which an electrical vehicle can be positioned and which can serve as a container for being filled with fire extinguishing liquid or cooling liquid.
  • a vehicle e.g. an electrical vehicle
  • moving and positioning of the system can be performed easily in view of the system, or its components, are rollable over the floor.
  • the latter allows for easy displacement, even for users with limited mobility.
  • the present invention relates to a construction element for a barrier construction suitable for surrounding a vehicle, e.g. an electrical vehicle, positioned on a floor e.g. in case of during an electric vehicle fire,
  • a vehicle e.g. an electrical vehicle
  • a floor e.g. in case of during an electric vehicle fire
  • the construction element may comprise at least two panels hingeably connected to each other. The latter may allow a more compact storage and or transportation.
  • sealing elements may be provided between the panels, so that aside also the joints where the panels are hinged are sealed, thus allowing to obtain a sealed barrier construction.
  • the at least two panels may be hingeably connected so as to be able to be configured in L-shape.
  • the at least two panels may be at least three panels so as to be able to be configured in U-shape.
  • the construction element comprising two or more panels hingeably connected to each other can be moved easily, since such a construction can have an inherent stability against tilting of the panels.
  • the adjustment system may be configured for lowering or elevating the rolling elements with respect to the at least one panel.
  • the adjustment system may be such that the rolling elements can in one state be lowered so that the wheels make contact with the floor, rather than the panels, resulting in the possibility to roll the construction element over the floor, and in another state be lifted such that the sealing at the bottom side of the panel makes contact with the floor.
  • the resulting barrier construction can form a sealed barrier, so that e.g. the barrier construction can for example be filled with a fluid for cooling or assisting otherwise with the fire extinction.
  • the rolling elements may be any of swivelling wheels or ball wheels.
  • the sealing elements may be a rubber.
  • the panels may be made of a metal material. It is an advantage of embodiments of the present invention that the panels can be made of a heavy material, so that their weight provides sufficient pressure on the sealing elements when the rolling elements are elevated, thus resulting in a liquid tight sealing between the construction element and the floor.
  • the present invention also relates to a barrier construction suitable for surrounding a vehicle, e.g. an electrical vehicle, the barrier construction comprising at least one construction element as described above, the at least one construction element being configurable to form a structure surrounding the vehicle, e.g. the electrical vehicle.
  • the barrier construction may comprise at least two construction elements as described above connectable to each other to form a structure suitable for surrounding the vehicle, e.g. electrical vehicle.
  • the system can be easily brought into position, e.g. surrounding a vehicle such as for example a car, even if only a limited amount of space is available around the vehicle.
  • the system can be positioned or components of the system can be positioned and/or coupled to each other, without a risk of tilting or falling over to a wrong side.
  • the system is and stays in a stable position, during positioning and/or coupling of components or more generally during manipulation of the system, e.g. when positioning and installing a system around a vehicle for use. The latter is even the case, when erroneous manipulation of the system is performed by the user, e.g. when the system is unfold in the wrong direction.
  • the construction may be configurable in a substantially rectangular shape, suitable for surrounding the vehicle.
  • the barrier construction may comprise splinkers for creating a for or water or liquid curtain.
  • the barrier construction may comprises one or more throughputs for filling the barrier construction with a liquid for assisting in firefighting.
  • the present invention relates to a method for assisting in firefighting of a fire of a vehicle, the method comprising rolling at least one construction element towards the vehicle on fire using rolling elements on the at least one construction element, positioning the at least one construction element around the vehicle and adjusting the position of rolling elements on the construction element, thus forming a barrier construction around the vehicle, and applying a liquid assisting in the fire fighting in combination with the barrier construction.
  • the present invention also relates to a construction element as described above or a barrier construction as describe above, for assisting in fire fighting of a fire of a vehicle.
  • Embodiments of the present invention are typically especially suitable for fire fighting of a fire of an electrical vehicle, but embodiments are not limited thereto and can also be used e.g. for fire fighting of a non-electrical vehicle.
  • the present invention relates to a construction element.
  • the construction element typically is for use in a barrier construction suitable for surrounding a vehicle, e.g. an electrical vehicle, positioned on a floor.
  • a barrier construction suitable for surrounding a vehicle, e.g. an electrical vehicle, positioned on a floor.
  • Such barrier constructions may be used e.g. during an electric vehicle fire, thus allowing to create a bath in which the electrical vehicle is positioned.
  • a bath can be filled with a cooling agent or with another agent that can assist in fire extinction.
  • the construction element comprises at least one panel, rolling elements attached to at least one panel for moving the construction element over the floor, and an adjustment means for vertically adjusting the position of the rolling elements with respect to the at least one panel.
  • the construction element also comprises a sealing element on at least one side of the at least one panel, allowing to form a seal between the panel and the floor on which the construction element is positioned.
  • the adjustment means is configured for in one state allowing the construction element to move over the floor by rolling using the rolling elements and in another state allowing the at least panel to contact the floor with the sealing elements for forming a seal between the at least one panel and the floor on which the barrier construction is to be positioned.
  • the construction element may in some embodiments only have a single panel.
  • the construction element may comprise a plurality of panels that are hingeably connected to each other. The fact that the construction element comprises multiple panels, results in a more efficient positioning and installing of the construction element and the resulting barrier construction.
  • the hingeably or hinge connection may be obtained by using a hinging element, e.g. a hinge.
  • sealing elements also may be provided between the different panels, such that openings between the panels are avoided, when the construction element is folded open.
  • sealing elements may be any suitable sealing elements, such as for example rubber sealings.
  • the construction element may be such that sealing elements are also present at the edges of the construction element, where the construction element can be connected to another construction element, to form the barrier construction.
  • the adjustment means may be arranged to allow the system to be in a first state wherein the rolling elements allow to roll the construction element over the floor, or in a second state wherein the rolling elements are lifted with respect to the panels, so that the panel or panels are in contact by means of sealing elements with the floor.
  • the adjustment means thus may be configured for lowering or elevating the rolling elements with respect to the at least one panel.
  • the adjustment means may be combined with the rolling elements, i.e. by providing lifting wheels. Nevertheless, other adjustment means allowing to bring the construction element in the two states indicated above also can be used.
  • the present invention relates to a barrier construction for surrounding a vehicle.
  • the barrier construction typically forms, together with the floor on which the car and the barrier construction are positioned a sealed volume, which can be referred to as bath, around the vehicle.
  • the barrier construction can be used for providing a cooling liquid around the car or another liquid that may assist in fire extinction.
  • the barrier construction thus may, in some embodiments, in combination with the floor, function as a batch.
  • sealing elements may be provided between the floor, the bottom portion of the panels of the construction element(s), and sides of the panels of the construction element(s).
  • the barrier construction comprises at least one construction element according to the first aspect or embodiments or examples thereof.
