The present invention relates to a special vehicle for extinguishing a vehicle fire, comprising a seating unit 100 in which a driver is seated, a loading unit 200 disposed at a rear end of the seating unit and configured to load a vehicle on fire, and a transfer unit 300 configured to transfer the vehicle into the loading unit, in which an opening portion through which the vehicle is transferred is formed at a rear side of the loading unit 200, in which the transfer unit 300 is hingedly and rotatably coupled to a lower end of the opening portion, in which the transfer unit 300 serves as a ramp for transferring the vehicle into the loading unit when the opening portion is opened, and in which the transfer unit 300 serves to isolate the loading unit 200 when the opening portion is closed.

An adjustable nozzle assembly includes a receiver having a fluid inlet configured to be fluidly coupled to a fluid source and an internal surface defining a reception chamber fluidly coupled to the fluid inlet, a swivel member disposed in the reception chamber of the receiver, a nozzle coupled to the swivel member, fluidly coupled to the reception chamber, and configured to discharge fluid along a discharge axis, and a restriction member coupled to the receiver such that the swivel member is positioned between the receiver and the restriction member. The swivel member has an external surface including a substantially spherical external surface portion in contact with the internal surface of the receiver. The restriction member has a surface geometry defining a passageway through which the nozzle extends, and the surface geometry limits rotation of the swivel member within the receiver.

A fire extinguishing system for a vehicle includes: a fire sensing line arranged in a predetermined space of the vehicle to output a fire sensing signal as an electrical signal when a fire is sensed; a controller configured to output a control signal for spraying a fire extinguishing agent when the fire sensing signal from the fire sensing unit is input; a fire extinguishing agent cylinder configured to discharge the fire extinguishing agent filling an inside thereof in response to the control signal output from the controller; and a spray nozzle assembly arranged in the predetermined space of the vehicle and configured to spray the fire extinguishing agent supplied from the fire extinguishing agent cylinder through a fire extinguishing agent hose.

A controller for a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, and a device for detecting a fire in a fluid conduit, the device having a fluid state sensor for detecting a state variable of a fluid that is conducted in the fluid conduit, are provided. The determination of a fire situation is performed in a manner dependent on a signal of the fluid state sensor.

A fire extinguishing system includes a gas discharger provided at a battery pack and configured to discharge gas in the battery pack, a gas channel configured so that the gas produced from the battery pack and discharged through the gas discharger flows through the gas channel when a fire occurs, an extinguishing agent tank in which an extinguishing agent is kept, a heat exchange channel provided in the extinguishing agent tank, connected to the gas channel so that the gas supplied through the gas channel flows through the heat exchange channel, and facilitating heat exchange between the gas flowing through the heat exchange channel and the extinguishing agent kept in the extinguishing agent tank, and a nozzle provided at the battery pack, connected to the extinguishing agent tank through an extinguishing agent supply channel, and supplying the extinguishing agent, which is supplied from the extinguishing agent tank, into the battery pack.

The present invention provides systems and methods for preventing fire outbreak and suppressing fire in liquid-fuel activated vehicles.
