fire extinguisher
This is an automatic fire extinguisher with intelligent feedback and novel shape. Fire extinguishers can spray automatically when smoke is detected.
When a fire breaks out, people can also quickly pick up a fire extinguisher with the habit of holding it to extinguish the fire.

- Accident statistics

Over the past 18 years, 159,800 household fires occurred nationwide
It accounts for 90% of the total number of fire alarms in China.
- Installation
Most families do not have the common sense of installing family fire extinguishers, or even do not know the existence of family fire extinguishers.
- Questionnaire

satisfied with the installation location?

- Research on the Use of Fire extinguisher in Different Scenarios

lift entrance
This fire emergency equipment is a traditional box design.
-
The height design is unreasonable
-
Overweight
-
The design of the method of taking is unreasonable

in corridor
This fire emergency equipment is a traditional box design.
-
Form may cause secondary damage
-
Storage location is too random
-
Storage location affects moving lines
-
Repair and replacement hassle

inside the stairs
This fire emergency equipment is a traditional box design.
-
More damage to the structure of the door button
-
Long-term protection may cause the surface to rust
- installed location experiment
I tried putting fire extinguishers in different places in the room.

under the desk
-
Inconvenient to take
-
Visual abruptness

over the bed
-
potential safety hazard
-
Visual disharmony

behind the curtains
-
Inconvenient to take
-
Can't find the object in the first time
Other location.
Because of environmental and fire extinguisher design and other factors Fire extinguishers always seem out of step with the environment in the environment.
we need a better storage location.

- concept sketch
Combining white cloth with fire extinguisher, the fire extinguisher is imitated in different scenarios by referring to Daniel Arsham's performance techniques.



- Position
Near the door handle ,because the position affects less to the motion of the door.

Put it over the door handle.
It has little effect on opening and closing the door.
The fire extinguisher is too heavy.

Will affect the switch ingress
The fire extinguisher is too heavy.
Put it under the door handle.

- distribution
Why near the door handle ?
When the fire extinguisher is installed near the door handle, it can maximize the user's habit of using the fire extinguisher, can be unconsciously, can tell the user that I have a fire extinguisher in this place, so that the first time to guide the user.
-
Installation aesthetics do not conflict with the environment
-
Wide coverage
-
Does not affect the moving line
-
Easy to get
-

- sketch

In order to improve the hand feel and shape of fire extinguishers, I modeled the sketch and then 3D print it.


The overall shape lacks the visual impact, holding the hand is very poor, but also inconvenient to take.
