Description

The present invention relates to a fire extinguishing sprinkler head.

The sprinkler head is installed on a ceiling surface or a wall surface in a building, has a water outlet that can be connected to a pipe connected to a water supply source at one end, and a heat-sensitive operation unit at the other end. In normal times, the heat-sensitive operating part supports a valve body that closes the water outlet.

As an example of the sprinkler head, there is a sprinkler head described in Patent Document 1. The sprinkler head of Patent Document 1 shown in FIG. 12 has a flange 140 formed at the lower part of the sprinkler body 110. One end of a seal cap 135 that closes the orifice 130 and a pair of levers 325 that are locked to the lower end of the inner periphery of the flange 140 are locked on the inner peripheral side of the flange 140. On the other end side of the lever, a link 320 in which two thin plates are joined with a low melting point alloy is locked. The lever 325 holds the orifice 130 closed by pressing the seal cap 135 toward the orifice 130 via the yoke 710 and the load screw 740.

Two holes are formed in the flange 140, and a cylindrical member 155 is installed in the hole. The upper end of the cylindrical member 155 on the flange 140 side is bent along the surface of the flange 140. The lower end of the opposite side is formed so that the inner diameter becomes smaller toward the tip. A rod 165 is inserted into the cylindrical member 155. The upper end side of the rod 165 has a larger diameter than the lower end side, and the upper end portion can be locked to the inner periphery of the lower end of the cylindrical member 155. The lower end of the rod 165 is locked to the deflector 145, and the deflector 145 can slide within the cylindrical member 155 via the rod 165.

The above sprinkler head is activated by the heat of the fire. When the low melting point alloy that has joined the link 320 at the time of a fire is melted, the link 320 is peeled off and the other end side of the lever 320 is released. Then, the lever 320 loses its support on the side engaged with the flange 140, and the lever 320 is rotated away from each other, so that the lever 320 is detached from the flange 140. The yoke 710 and the seal cap 135 supported by the lever 320 also drop to the outside of the flange 140 and the orifice 130 is opened.

Water is discharged from the opened orifice 130. The discharged water collides with the deflector 145 and is scattered in all directions to calm the fire.

US Specification No. 7275603

When the above sprinkler head is operated, the yoke 710 and the seal cap 135 are dropped and collided on the deflector 145 and discharged to the outside. When the components installed in the sprinkler head main body 110 such as the yoke 710 and the seal cap 135 collide with the deflector 145 and the above-mentioned components are caught by the rod 165 or the deflector 145 and moored, it becomes an obstacle to watering. Only a small percentage of cases occur when the specified watering shape cannot be obtained. Although there is little hindrance to fire extinguishing due to this phenomenon, the water spray shape is disturbed and the water spray density is biased, and the performance inherent in the sprinkler head cannot be fully exhibited.

In particular, when the sprinkler head is activated and the parts inside the sprinkler head fall, the parts that have fallen directly below the water outlet of the main body are moored while being pressed onto the deflector by the water flow discharged from the water outlet. There was a rare occurrence of this phenomenon.

Therefore, in the present invention, in view of the above problems, a sprinkler head capable of preventing components inside the sprinkler head main body from being anchored to a deflector support member such as a deflector or a rod that suspends the deflector during operation of the sprinkler head. It is intended to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following sprinkler head.
In the present invention, a saddle is installed between a valve body that closes the water outlet inside the main body and a thermal decomposition part having a pair of levers that are decomposed and operated in the event of a fire, and a deflector is provided on the extension of the water outlet and the saddle. The saddle is provided with a flat part where a pair of levers are opposed and locked, and a hole with the axis intersecting with a line passing through the center of the flat part toward the edge is installed in the saddle Is a sprinkler head characterized by
According to this, even when the saddle is moored while pressed against the deflector by the water discharged from the discharge port of the main body when the thermal decomposition part is activated and the saddle falls on the deflector, the saddle is drilled. The saddle can be moved while rotating by using the momentum of water spouted from the hole, and dropped from the deflector to the outside. More specifically, when the water discharged from the water outlet collides with the saddle and flows from the center of the saddle toward the edge, the water passing through the hole is edged through the center of the flat portion. Since the flow is converted in the direction of the axis of the hole and is ejected from the hole, a rotational force acts on the saddle and the saddle can move.

About the said invention, it can comprise by installing the hole centering on the line | wire which cross | intersects at the angle of 30 degrees-60 degrees with respect to the line which goes to the edge through the center of a plane part.
According to this, when a plurality of holes are drilled on an extension of a line extending toward the edge through the center of the flat portion of the saddle, the saddle can be rotated about the center of the saddle. Further, the axis of the hole does not face the center of the saddle but passes through the center of the flat portion of the saddle and obliquely intersects the line toward the edge, more specifically, an angle of 10 ° to 80 °, preferably If the direction of the line intersecting at an angle of 30 ° to 60 ° is set, the momentum of the water flow can be converted to a rotating force efficiently, and the saddle can be rotated even when the water flow discharged from the water outlet is small. . Further, the rotational force of the saddle can be increased by drilling a plurality of holes.

In the present invention, the leg portion extends from the edge between the pair of lever locking portions to which the lever of the flat portion is locked oppositely, and the hole is formed from the flat portion to the leg portion. And can be configured.
According to this, for example, when the saddle has a rectangular flat surface portion, the opposing two sides are used as lever locking portions, and the leg portions are extended to the remaining two sides. Or it is also possible to form a leg part only in one side. If the extension direction of the leg part is formed so as to extend in the direction of water discharge from the water outlet on the deflector side with respect to the saddle, it can be dropped from the leg part side to the deflector surface when the sprinkler head is activated. Further, a hole for ejecting water is formed in a bent portion from the flat portion to the leg portion. By doing so, the hole is formed at a position far from the center of the saddle, and the saddle is easily rotated by the momentum of the water ejected from the hole. Furthermore, the water ejected from the leg side of the hole is ejected along the surface of the deflector, and the saddle is easily rotated. On the other hand, the water ejected from the flat surface side is ejected between the saddle and the deflector, and the saddle and the deflector are separated to facilitate the movement of the saddle.

In the present invention, the hole can be configured to penetrate the flat portion or the leg portion obliquely.
According to this, for example, when a hole is formed obliquely with respect to the flat portion, water is ejected obliquely downward from the hole, and a flow that rotates the saddle and a flow that facilitates moving the saddle away from the deflector surface. Can be generated.

According to the present invention, since the hole is formed in the saddle, even when the saddle is moored on the deflector by the momentum of the water discharged from the discharge port when the sprinkler head is operated, the water is ejected from the hole and the saddle is It can move while rotating and can be discharged outside the deflector.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the sprinkler head of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The sprinkler head A includes a main body 1, a valve body 3, a thermal decomposition unit 4, a deflector 5, a support cup 6, and a cover plate 7, and is configured as a conshielded sprinkler head.

The main body 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is hollow, and one end is a pipe connecting portion 1A in which a male screw that can be connected to a filled pipe is formed. The other end of the pipe connection 1A is a water outlet 1B. The end of the water outlet 1 </ b> B is closed by the valve body 3.

Between the pipe connecting part 1A and the water outlet 1B, a support cup locking part 1C having a polygonal cross-sectional shape at the outer peripheral part is formed. A flange having a larger outer periphery than the outer periphery of the support cup locking portion 1C is formed on the side of the water outlet 1B from the support cup locking portion 1C, and a cylindrical shape is formed from the edge of the hook portion toward the water discharge side. A frame portion 2 is formed. The main body 1 is composed of the above-described pipe connecting part 1A and a frame part 2 having a larger outer peripheral surface than the pipe connecting part 1A.

The outer peripheral cross-sectional shape of the frame portion 2 is a shape in which two portions of a circle are notched in parallel. Specifically, two notched straight portions and an arc portion between each straight portion are formed. ing. Accordingly, a curved surface portion 2A having a circular arc cross section and a flat surface portion 2B having a straight cross section are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the frame portion 2. The flat surface portion 2B is formed as a notch surface portion formed so as to cut out the outer peripheral surface of the frame portion 2 from the pipe connection portion 1A side to a beam-like portion 2J described later, and an opening 2E is formed there. The outer peripheral cross-sectional shape of the lower part of the frame part 2 is a circle having the same radius as the curved surface part 2A without the flat part 2B. That is, a beam-like portion 2J made of an arc-shaped portion erected along the circumferential direction of the frame portion 2 is formed below the plane portion 2B. The beam-like part 2J is formed at an opposing position with the cylinder axis of the frame part 2 as the center.

An inner flange 2 </ b> C that is formed to extend inward is formed on the inner peripheral lower portion (the lower portion of the curved surface portion 2 </ b> A and the inner peripheral surface of the beam-shaped portion 2 </ b> J) of the frame portion 2. Lever insertion grooves 2D and 2D are formed in the inner flange 2C located below the curved surface portion 2A (FIG. 1).

An opening 2E is formed in the flat surface portion 2B of the frame portion 2 rotated approximately 90 ° from the lever insertion groove 2D. The opening 2E is formed by cutting the inside of the frame part 2 with a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the curved part 2A and larger than the dimension between the two plane parts 2B.

The inner flange 2C of the beam-like portion 2J located below the opening 2E serves as a lever locking portion 2F to which a lever 11 of a thermal decomposition portion 4 described later is locked. By providing the lever locking portion 2F on the beam-like portion 2J below the opening 2E, when a load is applied to the lever locking portion 2F from the water outlet 1B side to the lower end side of the frame portion 2, the beam-like portion 2J is applied. Although the elastic deformation is caused by the applied load, the amount of deformation due to the elastic deformation of the beam-like portion 2J can be increased as compared with the case where the opening 2E is not provided. The elastic deformation (deflection) of the beam-like portion 2J becomes a spring force, and the spring force has an action of splashing the components of the thermal decomposition portion 4 to the outside when the sprinkler head A is operated. Function to prevent.

On the outer peripheral side of the lever insertion groove 2D, there is formed a deflector locking portion 2G formed to hang downward from the lower end of the frame portion 2. A step portion 2H that can accommodate the valve body 3 is formed at the boundary between the frame portion 2 and the water outlet 1B. The movement when the valve body 3 is displaced from the water discharge port 1B due to vibration, impact, or the like by the step portion 2H is retained in the step portion 2H, and the valve body 3 is displaced from the water discharge port 1B so that the water in the water discharge port 1B is discharged. Prevents leakage.

The valve body 3 has a disk shape and is accommodated in the step 2H described above. The valve body 3 is pressed against the end of the water outlet 1B by a compression screw 22 to be described later and closes the water outlet 1B.

The thermal decomposition portion 4 is locked to an inner flange 2C (lever locking portion 2F) formed on the beam-like portion 2J of the frame portion 2, and in the event of a fire, the thermal decomposition portion 4 is decomposed by the heat of the fire to release the valve body 3. The thermal decomposition unit 4 includes a lever 11, a support plate 12, a balancer 13, a cylinder 14, a plunger 15, a low melting point alloy 16, and a set screw 17.

The thermal decomposition unit 4 is configured as a unit part as shown in FIG. 4 and can be stored and transported as a unit part. Even when the sprinkler head is assembled, it is incorporated into the main body 1 in the state of unit parts shown in FIG.

The lever 11 is used as a pair, and has one end that is locked to the inner flange 2C and bent outward. A protrusion 11A provided symmetrically is formed on the upper portion of the lever 11 (FIG. 5), and a rectangular hole 11B is formed on the lower portion. A support plate 12 and a balancer 13 are locked between the pair of levers 11, the support plate 12 is locked to the protrusion 11A, and the balancer 13 is locked to the lower hole 11B. A hole 13A is formed in the center of the balancer 13, and the cylinder 14 is inserted into the hole 13A.

The cylinder 14 has a cylindrical shape, and a step is formed inside, and a large diameter portion 14A and a small diameter portion 14B are formed. An annular low melting point alloy 16 is accommodated in the large diameter portion 14A. A flange portion 14C is formed at the end on the large diameter portion 14A side, and the flange portion 14C engages with the hole 13A of the balancer 13. The inner diameter of the small diameter portion 14B is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the annular low melting point alloy 16.

The tip of the small diameter portion 14B is bent in a state where the heat collectors 18 and 19 are sandwiched, and the heat collectors 18 and 19 are installed in the cylinder 14. The heat collectors 18 and 19 are made of a metal such as copper or a copper alloy having good thermal conductivity, and have a function of absorbing heat from a fire and transmitting it to the low melting point alloy 16 in the cylinder 14.

A large-diameter portion 15A and a small-diameter portion 15B are formed on the outer peripheral portion of the plunger 15 by steps. The outer diameter of the large diameter portion 15 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the large diameter portion 14A of the cylinder 14. The outer diameter of the small diameter portion 15 </ b> B is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the small diameter portion of the cylinder 14 and the inner diameter of the low melting point alloy 16.

The plunger 15 is inserted from the large diameter portion 14 </ b> A side of the cylinder 14, and the small diameter portion 15 </ b> B and the step portion 15 </ b> C at the boundary between the large diameter portion 15 </ b> A and the small diameter portion 15 </ b> B are in contact with the low melting point alloy 16. In a state where the plunger 15 is inserted into the cylinder 14, the outer peripheral surface of the plunger 15 is slidable with the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 14 </ b> B and the low melting point alloy 16.

The plunger 15 has a through hole 15D, and a step portion 15E with which the tip of the set screw 17 contacts is formed in the middle of the through hole 15D.

The set screw 17 has a cylindrical shape, and external screws 17A are threaded on the outside. When the male screw 17A is screwed into the female screw 12A of the support plate 12, the tip of the set screw 17 presses the step portion 15E of the plunger 15, so the low melting point alloy 16 becomes the step portion 15E of the plunger 15 and the bottom portion of the cylinder 14. The force in the compression direction is applied by 14D.

A force is also applied to the support plate 12 and the balancer 13 engaged with the pair of levers 11 in such a direction that the engagement with the lever 11 is strengthened, and the engagement state of the lever 11, the support plate 12 and the balancer 13 is maintained. Thereby, the thermal decomposition part 4 is comprised as a unit.

A saddle 20 is installed between the thermal decomposition unit 4 and the valve body 3. The saddle 20 is formed by bending a metal plate, and a leg portion L having an arcuate edge and a concave portion 20A in which a pair of levers 11 are engaged are formed in a substantially rectangular plane portion H. . A female screw 20B that is screwed into the set screw 17 is threaded at the center of the flat surface portion H.

Arc-shaped leg portions L, L that are suspended in the direction of the deflector 5 are formed on the side adjacent to the side where the concave portions 20A, 20A of the plane portion H are formed. A hole 21 is formed through L. As shown in FIG. 10, the holes 21 are formed on the diagonal line 30 and are formed at a position farthest from the center of the saddle 20 (the female screw 20 </ b> B). The axis 21 </ b> A of the hole 21 intersects with a diagonal line 30 that is a line passing through the center of the saddle 20 toward the edge at an angle of approximately 45 °.

The leg L is unstable when the saddle 20 is dropped on the deflector 5 and the leg L is placed in contact with the deflector 5 because the leg L has an arc shape. Since the flat portion H of the saddle 20 is easily inclined, the inclined flat portion H becomes a water flow resistance and the saddle 20 flows along the surface of the deflector 5. 5 is easily released to the outside.

On the other hand, when the flat portion H side of the saddle 20 is dropped and placed on the deflector 5, the saddle 20 may be pressed against the upper surface of the deflector 5 due to the momentum of water discharged from the discharge port 1B. However, the saddle 20 moves while rotating by the momentum of the water ejected from the hole 21 and is discharged to the outside of the deflector 5. More specifically, referring to FIG. 10, the water discharged from the discharge port 1B collides with the saddle 20 and flows from the center of the saddle 20 (female screw 20B) toward the edge. At this time, the water flowing on the diagonal line 30 and passing through the hole 21 is converted into the direction of the shaft 21A and ejected from the hole 21, so that a force rotating around the center of the saddle 20 acts and the saddle 20 rotates. Easy state. Further, the hole 21 is formed from the flat surface portion H to the leg portion L, and the water ejected from the leg portion L side mainly has a function of rotating the saddle 20, and the water ejected from the flat surface portion H side. Is mainly ejected between the saddle 20 and the deflector 5, and has an action of making the saddle 20 and the deflector 5 to be separated by a jet to facilitate movement.

A female screw 20B is screwed between the recesses 20A and 20A, and a compression screw 22 is screwed into the female screw 20B. When the compression screw 22 is screwed into the female screw 20B from the thermal decomposition unit 4 side toward the valve body 3, the tip of the compression screw 22 presses the valve body 3, and the valve body 3 is pressed against the end of the water outlet 1B. The water outlet 1B is closed, and the inner flange 2C of the frame portion 2 where the pair of levers 11 are locked is pressed downward. As a result, the beam-like portion 2J is elastically deformed to cause a slight displacement. Due to the displacement due to the deflection of the beam-like portion 2J, a spring force is generated that causes the components of the thermal decomposition portion 4 to fly out of the frame portion 2 during the decomposition operation. In the present embodiment, a load necessary for water-stopping of the valve body 3 and bending deformation of the beam-like portion 2J can be obtained by a simple component configuration and a simple assembling operation using the compression screw 22 and the saddle 20.

The deflector 5 is flat and has a plurality of slits 5A formed around it. The deflector 5 has holes 5B and 5B into which the guide pins 5C are fitted, and one end of the guide pin 5C is inserted into the hole 5B and fixed by caulking. The guide pin 5C is inserted into a hole 5E formed in the deflector locking portion 2G of the main body 1. The guide pin 5C can slide while being inserted into the hole 5E. A flange portion 5D is formed on the other end side of the guide pin 5C and can be locked to the end surface of the hole 5E of the deflector locking portion 2G of the main body 1.

The support cup 6 is a bottomed cylindrical member that covers the outside of the frame portion 2 of the main body 1. An opening 6B that can be fitted to the support cup locking portion 1C of the main body 1 is formed in the bottom portion 6A of the support cup 6. The support cup 6 can be prevented from rotating with respect to the main body 1 by fitting the support cup locking portion 1C and the opening 6B.

A cylindrical portion 6C is formed on the periphery of the opening 6B. The position of the end face of the cylindrical part 6C is on the pipe connecting part 1A side from the end face of the support cup locking part 1C, and the end of the cylindrical part 6C is between the pipe connecting part 1A of the main body 1 and the support cup locking part 1C. It is located in the vicinity of the constricted portion 1D. After making cuts at several locations at the base of the cylindrical part 6C, the upper part of the cut is pressed from the outer peripheral side toward the constricted part 1D, and the upper part of the notch is deformed toward the constricted part 1D to form the engaging part 6D. Thus, the engaging portion 6D and the constricted portion 1D are engaged, and the support cup 6 can be fixedly installed on the main body 1.

A base plate 6E having an opening similar to the opening 6B described above is installed inside the bottom surface of the support cup 6. A plurality of openings 6F are formed at equal intervals near the periphery of the bottom surface 6A of the support cup 6. The opening 6F extends from the bottom surface 6A to the side surface 6G of the support cup. A spiral groove 6H is formed on the end face side of the side surface 6G.

The cover plate 7 is composed of a thin plate-like lid 7A that covers the main body 1, the thermal decomposition unit 4 and the deflector 5 in the support cup 6, and a cylindrical retainer 7B. Since the cover plate 7 is connected to the support cup 6 after connecting the pipe connection portion 1A of the main body 1 to the fire extinguishing equipment pipe, the cover plate 7 is assembled as a separate component from the main body 1 and the support cup 6 described above.

The lid 7A has a disk shape and is made of copper or copper alloy which easily propagates heat. The retainer 7B is cylindrical, and the ends of a plurality of legs hanging from the lower end are bent to form a connection surface 7C with the lid 7A. The connecting surface 7C and the lid 7A are joined by a low melting point alloy 7D. As the low melting point alloy 7D, an alloy having a melting point lower than that of the low melting point alloy 16 in the cylinder 14 is used.

A protrusion 7E that can be screwed into the spiral groove 6H of the support cup 6 is formed on the peripheral surface of the retainer 7B. The protrusion 7E is formed so that the peripheral surface of the retainer 7B is cut and the protrusion 7E protrudes obliquely downward. The protrusion 7E functions as a stopper. When the retainer 7B is pulled downward when it is screwed with the spiral groove 6H of the support cup 6, the protrusion 7E is caught by the spiral groove 6H and is prevented from coming off.

Conversely, when the retainer 7B is fitted into the support cup 6, the protrusion 7E can elastically deform on the spiral groove 6H and pass over the spiral groove 6H. Therefore, when the retainer 7 </ b> B is fitted into the support cup 6, the retainer 7 </ b> B can be installed by a one-push operation for pushing the retainer 7 </ b> B into the support cup 6.

Then, the assembly procedure and construction procedure of the sprinkler head of 1st Embodiment are demonstrated.

First, the valve body 3 is fitted into the step portion 2H from the end of the frame portion 2 of the main body 1. Subsequently, the saddle 20 to which the compression screw 22 is screwed is put into the frame portion 2.

4 is inserted into the frame 2 so that the lever 11 is engaged with the position of the recess 20A of the saddle 20. At that time, the lever 11 is inserted into the frame portion 2 through the lever insertion groove 2D of the inner flange 2C, and after the tip of the lever 11 is inserted deeper than the inner flange 2C, the thermal decomposition portion 4 is rotated. The recess 20A and the lever 11 are engaged. Furthermore, the thermal decomposition part 4 is rotated, and the position of the lever 11 is set at a position rotated approximately 90 ° from the lever insertion groove 2D.

Subsequently, a tool such as a wrench capable of rotating the compression screw 22 or a screwdriver is inserted through the through hole of the set screw 17 of the thermal decomposition unit 4, and the compression screw 22 is screwed into the female screw 20B. Then, the tip of the compression screw 22 presses the valve body 3, and the tip of the lever 11 presses the inner flange 2C to elastically deform the inner flange 2C. By tightening the compression screw 22 with a predetermined torque, the load with which the valve body 3 presses the discharge port 1B can be controlled within a predetermined range. Thus, after all the components such as the valve body 3 are put in the frame portion 2, the assembly work is completed by inserting the tool into the through hole and screwing the compression screw 22 into the female screw 20B. Work can be done easily.

Next, the deflector 5 is installed in the main body 1. After the guide pin 5C is inserted through the hole 5E formed in the deflector locking portion 2G of the main body 1, the end of the guide pin 5C and the hole 5B of the deflector 5 are fixed by caulking.

Subsequently, the support cup 6 is installed on the main body 1. In a state where the support cup locking portion 1C of the main body 1 and the cylindrical portion 6C of the support cup 6 are fitted together, cuts are made at several locations at the base of the cylindrical portion 6C. Thereafter, when the upper part of the cut is pressed from the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical part 6C toward the constricted part 1D, the upper part of the cut is deformed along the outer peripheral shape of the constricted part 1D to form the engaging part 6D. The engagement portion 6D and the constricted portion 1D are engaged, and the support cup 6 is fixed to the main body 1. This completes the assembly procedure of the sprinkler head as a product.

The cover plate 7 is connected to the support cup 6 after the above product is connected to the piping and the ceiling board W is constructed (state of FIG. 7). The cover plate 7 is installed by connecting the protrusion 7E of the cover plate 7 to the spiral groove 6H of the support cup 6 by screwing.

At this time, the distance between the connection port of the fire-extinguishing equipment pipe and the ceiling surface may be different for each connection port of the fire-extinguishing equipment pipe in terms of design and construction. In such a case, by adjusting the insertion length of the retainer 7B with respect to the support cup 6, it can be installed corresponding to the distance between each connection port and the ceiling surface.

For example, in FIG. 1, the retainer 7 </ b> B is inserted deepest into the support cup 6, but the insertion length of the retainer 7 </ b> B is made shallower when the distance between the pipe connection port and the ceiling surface is greater than in FIG. 1. do it.

In this case, in this embodiment, the deflector locking part 2G is provided on the opening end side of the frame part 2 as close as possible to the ceiling surface, and the movement range of the deflector 5 is large. For this reason, even if the insertion length of the retainer 7B is shallow and the deflector 5 is placed on the back surface of the cover plate 7 at a position lower than that of FIG. That is, it is possible to make a large installation adjustment margin for the construction of the conshielded sprinkler head A, and the construction becomes easy.

This completes the assembly and construction of the sprinkler head shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of the sprinkler head of the present invention will be described.

The sprinkler head is connected to the main body 1 with a water supply pipe (not shown), and the water outlet 1B is filled with water. When a fire occurs, the low melting point alloy 7D joining the lid 7A and the retainer 7B melts and the lid 7A falls. The deflector 5 placed on the lid 7A by the fall of the lid 7A moves downward in the figure by its own weight. The deflector 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the guide pin 5C and is locked to the deflector locking portion 2G by a flange portion 5D formed on the other end side.

When the low melting point alloy 16 in the thermal decomposition part 4 is melted by the heat of the fire, the plunger 15 in the cylinder 14 housing the low melting point alloy 16 is immersed in the bottom surface side of the cylinder 14. The movement of the plunger 15 causes the components of the thermal decomposition unit 4 to lose their support and perform the decomposition operation.

The thermal decomposition unit 4 is decomposed and released to the outside, and the saddle 20 and the valve body 3 are also released from the frame unit 2 to the outside. At that time, the saddle 20 falls on the deflector 5, but the saddle 20 rotates in response to the flow of water discharged from the water outlet 1B, moves along the surface of the deflector 5, and falls outside. The water discharged from the water outlet 1B collides with the deflector 5 and is scattered in all directions, and fire suppression and extinguishing are performed.

Next, a modification of the embodiment described above will be described. FIG. 11A shows a hole 21 in the leg L. FIG. 5B shows a notch 21 </ b> C formed in place of the hole 21, and has the same functions and effects as the hole 21. FIG. 4C is a bottom view of the saddle, which has a configuration without the leg portion L, and the hole 21 is formed so as to penetrate the flat portion H obliquely. As a result, water is ejected obliquely downward from the hole 21, and both the action of separating the saddle 20 from the deflector 5 and the action of rotating the saddle 20 are provided.

In the above-described embodiment and modifications (a) to (c), the shape of the hole or notch may be a circle, an oval, a rectangle, or a polygon. Also, the number of holes or notches can be increased or decreased as appropriate.
