Abstract

An anti-fire apparatus for vehicle includes a control device coupled to a fire extinguishing device for actuating the fire extinguishing device, and a detector device coupled to the control device for operating the control device to actuate the fire extinguishing device. A device may include one or more batteries for energizing the detector device. A manual switch may be used to actuate the fire extinguishing device manually. The detector device includes a detector for detecting a vehicle collision, a fuel level and/or a fuel pressure and/or an engine temperature.

Claims

1. An anti-fire apparatus for vehicle, said anti-fire apparatus comprising:

a fire extinguishing device, a control device coupled to said fire extinguishing device, for actuating said fire extinguishing device,

a detector assembly coupled to said control device, for operating said control device to actuate said fire extinguishing device, and

means for energizing said detector assembly.

2. The anti-fire apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said energizing means includes a primary battery, and a secondary battery coupled to said primary battery for energizing the vehicle in addition to said primary battery.

3. The anti-fire apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising a manual switch coupled to said fire extinguishing device, for actuating said fire extinguishing device manually.

4. The anti-fire apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said control device includes a first relay and a second relay coupled to said fire extinguishing device.

5. The anti-fire apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said control device includes a delay device coupled to said first and said second relays.

6. The anti-fire apparatus according to claim 4, wherein said control device includes a switch coupled to said first relay for switching off electric power of the vehicle.

7. The anti-fire apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said detector assembly includes a detector for detecting a vehicle collision.

8. The anti-fire apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said detector assembly includes a detector for detecting a fuel level.

9. The anti-fire apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said said detector of said detector assembly is used for detecting a fuel pressure.

10. The anti-fire apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said said detector of said detector assembly is used for detecting an engine temperature.

11. The anti-fire apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said detector assembly includes a detector for detecting a warning temperature to actuate said fire extinguishing device.
