Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Handkoffer mit Klappdeckel o. dgl. zur Aufnahme von Meß- und/oder Kontrollgeräten.The invention relates to a suitcase with a hinged lid or the like. For receiving measuring and / or control devices.
Derartige Koffer werden von Monteuren, Handwerkern usw. auf außerbetrieblichen Stellen wie Baustellen, Fremdfirmen o. dgl. verwendet. Auch ist ein Handkoffer bekannt (DE-OS 33 43 068), in dem elektrische Geräte eingepackt sind, die ohne umständliches Auspacken sofort einsatzfähig sind. Des weiteren sind Meßkoffer bekannt (DE-GM 81 15 124), in dem die Meßgeräte handlich sortiert, lose eingelegt und geschützt untergebracht sind. Mit dieser Maßnahme soll dem Benutzer auf der Baustelle ein schnelles Entnehmen der Meßgeräte ermöglicht werden.Such cases are used by fitters, craftsmen, etc. on off-site locations such as construction sites, external companies or the like. A suitcase is also known (DE-OS 33 43 068), in which electrical devices are packed, which can be used immediately without having to unpack them. Furthermore, measuring cases are known (DE-GM 81 15 124), in which the measuring devices are conveniently sorted, loosely inserted and protected. This measure is intended to enable the user to quickly remove the measuring devices at the construction site.
Im Bereich des vorbeugenden Feuerschutzes stehen tragbare, fahrbare oder stationäre Feuerlöschgeräte oder -anlagen zur Verfügung. So werden z.B. Handfeuerlöscher, Feuerlöschfahrzeuge o. dgl. mit Pulverfüllung oder anderen Medien als Löschmittel verwendet. Auch kennt man Gaslöschanlagen, die mit CO₂ oder Halonen als Löschmittel arbeiten. Alle diese Geräte und Anlagen müssen ständig überwacht und auf ihre Funktionsfähigkeit überprüft werden. Dazu sind Kundendiensttechniker unterwegs, die vor Ort die Feuerlöschgeräte oder Feuerlöschanlagen überwachen und kontrollieren. Die für die Instandhaltung von Feuerlöschgeräten vorgeschriebenen Prüfungen sind z.B. in der DIN 14406, Teil 4, festgelegt. Bei Gaslöschanlagen müssen die Gasgewichte und deren Drücke und bei Löschpulvergeräten die Feuchtigkeit der Pulver kontrolliert werden, um die funktionsbereitschaft derartiger Geräte sicherzustellen.In the area of preventive fire protection, portable, mobile or stationary fire extinguishers or systems are available. For example, hand fire extinguishers, fire engines or the like with powder filling or other media are used as extinguishing agents. Also known are gas extinguishing systems that work with CO₂ or halons as an extinguishing agent. All of these devices and systems must be constantly monitored and their functionality checked. For this purpose, customer service technicians are on the move, who monitor and control the fire extinguishers or fire extinguishing systems on site. The tests prescribed for the maintenance of fire extinguishers are specified, for example, in DIN 14406, Part 4. In gas extinguishing systems, the gas weights and their Pressures and, in the case of extinguishing powder devices, the moisture of the powders are checked in order to ensure the functionality of such devices.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde ein tragbares Gerät zu schaffen, mit dem der Kundendiensttechniker vor Ort die vorgeschriebenen Prüfungen an den Feuerlöschgeräten oder Feuerlöschanlagen schnell, sicher und genau dem Stand der Technik entsprechend durchführen kann.The invention has for its object to provide a portable device with which the customer service technician can perform the prescribed tests on the fire extinguishers or fire extinguishing systems quickly, safely and precisely according to the state of the art.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die Meß- und/oder Kontrollgeräte aus elektronischen Einzelgeräten bestehen, die für die Instandhaltung von Feuerlöschgeräten zum Messen und/oder Kontrollieren der Feuerlöschmittel verwendbar sind, und eines der Geräte ein Mikrocomputer mit einem Meßverstärker mit Analog/Digitalwandler, sowie einer Eingabetastatur und einem Display ist, und die Einzelgeräte an die zu prüfenden und kontrollierenden Geräte oder Anlagen anschließbar sind.This object is achieved in that the measuring and / or control devices consist of electronic individual devices which can be used for the maintenance of fire extinguishers for measuring and / or checking the fire extinguishing agents, and one of the devices is a microcomputer with a measuring amplifier with analog / digital converter, as well as an input keyboard and a display, and the individual devices can be connected to the devices or systems to be tested and checked.
Der Kundendiensttechniker kann mit diesem Prüfkoffer die Gewichte, die Gasdrücke und die Feuchtigkeitsgehalte der Löschmittel prüfen, ohne mehrere Prüfgeräte wie Prüfmanometer o. dgl. umfangreiches Gerät mitführen zu müssen. Diese Geräte mußten bisher in einem gesondert eingerichteten Prüfwagen mitgeführt werden. Alle diese bekannten umfangreichen Prüfeinrichtungen werden durch den erf indungsgemäßen Prüfkoffer ersetzt, der damit im Bereich des vorbeugenden Feuerschutzes und seiner Inspektion Anwendung findet.The customer service technician can use this test case to check the weights, gas pressures and moisture content of the extinguishing agent without having to carry several test devices such as a test manometer or similar extensive equipment. Previously, these devices had to be carried in a specially equipped test vehicle. All these well-known extensive test facilities are replaced by the test case according to the invention, which is thus used in the field of preventive fire protection and its inspection.
Der besondere Vorteil des Prüfkoffers ist darin zu sehen, daß beispielsweise die Gewichte über ein elektronisches Wiegesystem ermittelt und sehr genau digital in dem elektronsichen Gerät des Prüfkoffers angezeigt werden. Auch Druckprüfungen bei stationären Feuerlöschanlagen, die mit Stickstoffflaschen oder CO₂-Flaschen arbeiten, können durch einfachen Anschluß des Prüfkoffers an diesen Geräte digital im Prüfkoffer angezeigt werden.The particular advantage of the test case can be seen in the fact that, for example, the weights are determined using an electronic weighing system and are displayed very accurately digitally in the electronic device of the test case. Pressure tests for stationary fire extinguishing systems that work with nitrogen bottles or CO₂ bottles can also be displayed digitally in the test case by simply connecting the test case to these devices.
Der Feuchtigkeitsgehalt eines Löschpulvers konnte bisher nur mit einer sehr ungenauen, optischen subjektiven Prüfung ermittelt werden. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Prüfkoffer kann erstmals eine Pulverfeuchtigkeitsüberprüfung beim Kunden durchgeführt werden, wobei das Ergebnis digital im Koffer angezeigt wird.So far, the moisture content of an extinguishing powder could only be determined with a very imprecise, optical subjective test. With the test case according to the invention, a powder moisture check can be carried out at the customer for the first time, the result being displayed digitally in the case.

Der elektronische Drucksensor mit Kabel ist mit 17 bezeichnet.The test case 1 consists of a
Das Tastenfeld 12 weist nur 6 Einzeltasten auf, nämlich für ON/Off, für den Start, für den Print, für die feuchte Messung (Prozent F), das Wiegen (Gramm) und für die Druckmessung (bar).The
Mit diesem handkoffergroßen Gerät kann der Kundendiensttechniker alle Funktionen erfassen, die zum Messen und Kontrollieren des Zustandes der Feuerlöschgeräte, bzw. Feuerlöschanlagen und deren Feuerlöschmittel erforderlich sind.With this device, which is the size of a suitcase, the customer service technician can record all the functions required to measure and check the condition of the fire extinguishing devices or fire extinguishing systems and their fire extinguishing agents.
