Kapuling Company Introduction
Foshan Kapuling Technology Co., Ltd. is a startup intellectual property enterprise established in September 2022 with a registered capital of 100,000 yuan and currently has 3 employees. It mainly engages in smart fire system solutions, with the current product solution being the IoT fire sprinkler, which can be widely applied in various locations.
In order to keep up with the progress of the Internet of Things era and upgrade and improve the shortcomings of traditional fire sprinklers, we launched a patented technology product—the IoT fire sprinkler with remote alarm function. Through the modified sprinkler structure, a triggering alarm structure and alarm component are set up. After the glass ball is heated and breaks, the alarm information can be sent to the remote alarm system or cloud platform wirelessly (NB-IoT, LTE-M, Lora, etc.), achieving remote transmission of alarm information, allowing relevant personnel to know in a timely and accurate manner which sprinkler is alarming, and to respond on-site promptly, reducing disaster and loss caused by sprinkler water discharge.
The product has the advantages of a simple structure and low cost, and its structure and installation method are fully compatible with traditional fire sprinklers, allowing for direct replacement of most traditional sprinklers. It can also perform manual simulation alarm tests, and the battery of the alarm component is easy to replace after it runs out. Compared to smoke detectors, this product also has a good anti-false alarm capability, with basically no false alarm issues. It can be widely used in high-rise buildings, hotels, apartments, ordinary residences, factories, laboratories, and other locations.
IoT Fire Sprinkler
In 1723, 300 years ago, the UK introduced an automatic sprinkler system made of wooden barrels, water, and easily meltable components. This device gradually evolved into the most basic and effective fire extinguishing facility that we are equipped with today. With the advancement of modern technology, these traditional fire sprinklers have gradually shown many shortcomings.
Firstly, the alarm zones are not clearly defined: traditional fire sprinklers are installed on fire pipelines, triggering pressure switches to sense pressure changes in the pipeline to start the pressurized water pump and alarm, with water flow indicators determining the alarm zone. However, water flow indicators are generally only installed on the main pipeline, making it impossible to determine which sprinkler is activated during discharge. Secondly, false alarms are common: since fire pipelines also include hydrants, which often need to be opened for testing and flushing, this can lead to many false alarms, making it difficult for current fire water systems to provide accurate alarm functions. Moreover, due to frequent false alarms, many fire water systems are set to manual or closed states, which can delay alarm information.
The main issue is the secondary disasters caused by excessive spraying: many small locations and residential buildings face difficulties in accurately identifying fire locations due to the installation of simple sprinkler systems that share the same pipeline as the domestic water system. These issues make it challenging to accurately determine the actual fire location when the sprinkler system is activated. Since the sprinkler water system generally causes irreversible damage to the items below, if the fire point cannot be quickly located for handling, unnecessary damage will occur, which is unacceptable for users like hotels, homes, warehouses, and laboratories. This is also one of the reasons why implementing sprinklers in residential homes is difficult.
With the development of IoT technology, fire sprinklers with remote instant alarm functions have already demonstrated technical feasibility. Foshan Kapuling Technology Co., Ltd. has launched an IoT fire sprinkler that is compatible with the installation methods of traditional fire sprinklers after extensive development work. This technology has been patented and has passed key technical indicator tests by the National Fire Detection Center (Tianjin). According to the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China, this technology is a domestic and international innovation, achieving a leading technical level in the industry.
The new IoT fire sprinkler features an improved structure that adds a triggering alarm structure and alarm component. It can trigger the alarm component when the glass ball breaks due to heat, providing local sound and light alarms through a buzzer and LED light while wirelessly sending alarm information to a remote alarm system or cloud platform (NB-IoT, LTE-M, Lora, etc.), allowing relevant personnel to know in a timely and accurate manner which sprinkler is alarming, and to respond on-site promptly, reducing disaster and loss caused by sprinkler water discharge. The product has a simple structure, low cost, and is fully compatible with traditional fire sprinklers, allowing for direct replacement of most traditional sprinklers. It can perform manual simulation alarm tests, and the battery of the alarm component can last for 10 years and is easy to replace when exhausted. The sprinkler also has a feature that reports battery levels periodically, allowing users or operators to be notified for maintenance before the battery runs low.
This patented technology structure can be applied to different calibers of down-spray, up-spray, and side-spray sprinklers, as well as water mist sprinklers, and can be used in dry and wet sprinkler systems. The mechanical structure is simple, and the working principle is reliable. Since the triggering alarm principle is consistent with traditional fire sprinklers, it has good anti-interference capabilities and, compared to smoke detectors and other alarm devices, the IoT fire sprinkler has almost no false alarms, effectively avoiding “alarm fatigue” issues. Additionally, this sprinkler can be used in environments with high humidity, steam, smoke, dust, and high temperatures (generally below 50 degrees), making it suitable for most residential environments and laying a solid technical foundation for promoting water spray facilities in residential homes.
The IoT fire sprinkler is a technological update of traditional fire sprinkler products, combining the high-temperature triggering and spraying function of traditional fire sprinklers with modern electronic sound and light alarms and remote alarm functions. It meets the needs of contemporary fire service operation models and brings new service areas to the traditional fire sprinkler industry. This allows service operators to extend their services to every household and enterprise through deeply integrated sprinkler products. By binding users through WeChat alarm and other means, more product and service needs can be generated, establishing a better product foundation for the company’s growth and strength.
