The invention discloses a fire extinguishing device and a fire extinguishing method, and belongs to the technical field of fire
engineering. The fire extinguishing device comprises a power supply module, a detection module, a
delay module, a control module, an
electric control valve and a fire extinguishing
storage tank. After the power supply module supplies power to the detection module, the detection module detects the environment
signal, and when the detected environment
signal meets the fire extinguishing condition, the first input end and the first output end of the detection module areconnected, and at the moment, the first input end and the first output end of the
delay module are powered on. Afterwards, the
delay module starts timing, and after a duration threshold value is reached, the second input end and the second output end of the delay module are connected, and at the moment, the second input end and the first output end of the control module are powered on. Afterwards,the third input end and the third output end of the control module are connected, and the first output end and the fourth output end of the control module are connected, and at the moment, the
electric control valve is powered on and automatically opened, so that fire is extinguished through media contained in the fire extinguishing
storage tank, and automatic fire extinguishing is achieved.
