Mobile rail-mounted fire extinguishing robot

A method for operating a robot for extinguishing fires in open and extended locations, comprising:

• detecting a fire hazard using fire sensors deployed at a location;
• sending a call signal from the fire sensors to a robot positioned on a rail track system;
• moving the robot along the rail track system to a fire location using an electric motor and driving wheel;
• analyzing fire patterns and environmental conditions using a thermal imaging camera with artificial intelligence capabilities;
• determining a type of fire and selecting an appropriate extinguishing material based on the analysis;
• activating an electromagnetic coil to attract a metal chip in a selected lower extinguishing hose, causing the hose to move downward and connect with an electric valve;
• supplying electrical power to the electric valve through an electrical communication port to open the valve;
• pumping extinguishing material from an extinguishing materials supply pipe through the electric valve to at least one fire pump;
• directing the extinguishing material to at least one spray nozzle using the at least one fire pump;
• and
• controlling a direction of the at least one spray nozzle using at least one steering motor to target the fire location.

A rail-mounted fire suppression system for extended locations, comprising:

• a pipe rack having an L-shaped profile and configured to support rail tracks and extinguishing material supply infrastructure;
• an upper rail track and a lower rail track mounted on the pipe rack;
• a robot configured to travel on the upper rail track and the lower rail track;
• multiple fire sensors distributed along the pipe rack and configured to detect fire conditions;
• multiple electric valves positioned at intervals along an extinguishing materials supply pipe mounted on the pipe rack;
• a main supply track extending along a length of the pipe rack and configured to provide continuous electrical power;
• flexible moving contact heads on the robot configured to maintain electrical contact with the main supply track during movement;
• a controller on the robot configured to coordinate fire detection, analysis, and suppression operations using artificial intelligence;
• and
• a thermal imaging camera on the robot configured to analyze fire characteristics and determine appropriate suppression strategies.
