Description

[0036] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present application, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the disclosed content.

[0037] The present application provides a proportion-adjustable mechanical pump-in foam proportion mixing device, as shown in the figure. Figures 1 to 5

[0038] The proportion-adjustable mechanical pump-in foam proportion mixing device comprises a water turbine 1, a foam pump 3, and a belt pulley transmission mechanism 2 arranged between the water turbine 1 and the foam pump 3, and the belt pulley transmission mechanism 2 comprises a driving speed regulating wheel 21 and a driven elastic wheel, and the driving speed regulating wheel and the driven elastic wheel are driven through the arranged belt.

[0039] The output shaft of the water turbine 1 is connected with the driving speed regulating wheel of the belt pulley transmission mechanism 2, the input shaft of the foam pump 3 is connected with the driven elastic wheel of the belt pulley transmission mechanism 2, and the water turbine 1 indirectly drives the foam pump 3 through the belt pulley transmission mechanism 2.

[0040] In the embodiment, the driving speed regulating wheel is a first double-cone structure, the first double-cone structure comprises a first fixed hammer disc 21 and a first movable cone disc 22, the first fixed hammer disc 21 is fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the water turbine 1, and the first movable cone disc 22 is slidingly sleeved on the output shaft of the water turbine 1 and is adjusted and limited through the arranged locking mechanism 23. The locking mechanism 23 can adopt a screw transmission pair, and a hand wheel 24 for rotating adjustment is arranged; the screw transmission pair comprises a nut arranged on the outer side of the sliding cone disc, a screw groove matched with the nut is machined on the output shaft of the water turbine and forms a screw transmission, and the hand wheel is arranged on the outer side of the nut. The unique double-cone structure cooperates with the screw transmission pair and the hand wheel to realize manual adjustment of the diameter.

[0041] The driven elastic wheel is arranged as a second double-cone structure 25, and the second double-cone structure 25 comprises a second fixed hammer disc and a second movable cone disc, the second fixed hammer disc is fixedly arranged on the input shaft of the foam pump, and the second movable cone disc is slidingly sleeved on the input shaft of the foam pump and is axially elastically limited through the arranged spring mechanism 26; the driven elastic wheel is connected with the input shaft of the foam pump, adopts a double-cone structure connected with a strong spring, and can be self-adaptively adjusted.

[0042] The belt pulley transmission ratio can be adjusted through the driving speed regulating wheel according to the viscosity and flow demand of the foam liquid or wetting agent, and stepless speed change of the required proportion can be realized.

[0043] ​The pulley transmission mechanism 2 is also covered with a protective ventilation cabinet 7, which is used to enclose and support the pulley transmission system, while providing ventilation and heat dissipation functions to prevent the belt transmission system from being affected by overheating.

[0044] The first pipeline 4 is connected to the foam pump 3, and the first pipeline 4 includes a foam liquid inlet pipe, a foam liquid outlet pipe, and a wetting agent inlet pipe for the delivery of foam liquid and wetting agent. The third pipeline 6 is also connected to the foam pump for flushing and non-foam liquid test mixing ratio. The second pipeline 5 is connected to the water turbine 1 for delivering water flow, which drives the water turbine 1 to generate power and mix with the foam liquid or wetting agent in the water output pipe.

[0045] The adjustable mechanical pump foam proportioning device, the water turbine 1 drives the foam pump 3 to operate indirectly through the pulley transmission mechanism 2. This transmission mode allows the water turbine and the foam pump to operate independently, optimizing the space layout. In high-flow-demand and space-limited scenarios, such as inside a fire truck, a container-type fire extinguishing system, etc., this device can reasonably arrange component positions, effectively save space, and meet actual use requirements. At the same time, by adjusting the pulley diameter, the foam or wetting agent proportion can be optimized for different fire fighting requirements, realizing adjustable dosage rate.

[0046] The device adds a pulley transmission mechanism 2 instead of a traditional shaft coupling transmission mechanism, achieving more precise adjustable foam proportioning. Through the cooperation of the driving speed regulating wheel and the driven elastic wheel, the foam or wetting agent mixing ratio (1%-3%) can be manually adjusted more accurately according to different fire types in the same fire extinguishing application, to achieve the best fire extinguishing effect. For example, for high-risk flammable liquid fires, the foam proportion can be adjusted to a high proportion of foam extinguishing mode, while in general solid combustion fire scenarios, the foam or wetting agent proportion can be switched to a lower proportion, thereby significantly improving the flexibility and adaptability of the system.

[0047] In addition, the device adopts a three-dimensional installation design, which can make full use of limited space, making it suitable for space-limited environments such as fire trucks, ships, container-type fire extinguishing systems, etc. The traditional shaft coupling scheme has higher requirements for installation location, resulting in a larger overall device occupying space. The pulley transmission mechanism, combined with the characteristics of the driving speed regulating wheel and the driven elastic wheel, allows the equipment to be more flexible and efficient in compact spaces, providing an ideal solution for fire fighting systems in narrow spaces.

[0048] The manual adjustment structure of the active speed regulation wheel. When the operator rotates the hand wheel, the nut will move axially along the spiral groove, and then drive the sliding cone to slide on the shaft. When the hand wheel is rotated clockwise, the sliding cone approaches the fixed cone, and the V-belt is squeezed to a position farther from the shaft center, and the effective working diameter of the driving wheel increases. When the hand wheel is rotated counterclockwise, the sliding cone moves away from the fixed cone, and the effective working diameter of the driving wheel decreases. In this way, the diameter of the active speed regulation wheel can be accurately adjusted to meet different transmission ratio requirements.

[0049] The self-adaptive adjustment of the driven elastic wheel. The driven elastic wheel is also composed of two cones, and the second movable cone is connected to the fixed seat on the shaft through a set of strong springs. The springs always exert an axial elastic force on the second movable cone, making it tend to approach the second fixed cone.

[0050] When the diameter of the active speed regulation wheel changes, the tension of the V-belt changes. If the diameter of the driving wheel increases, the V-belt is tightened, and the tension acts on the driven elastic wheel, overcoming the spring force to compress the spring, increasing the distance between the two cones, and the V-belt approaches the shaft center, reducing the effective working diameter of the driven wheel. Conversely, when the diameter of the driving wheel decreases, the spring force pushes the elastic cone to move outward, increasing the effective working diameter of the driven wheel. This self-adaptive adjustment mechanism ensures the stability of the tension of the belt and the transmission ratio during transmission.

[0051] In addition, according to different water turbines and foam pump volume ratios, the initial size, adjustable maximum and minimum diameter range, and spring elastic coefficient of the active speed regulation wheel and the driven elastic wheel can be accurately calculated; ensure that the diameter of the driven wheel can change from the maximum value to the minimum value when the diameter of the driving wheel is adjusted from the minimum value to the maximum value, and the diameter ratio of the two can cover the required proportional variable speed range.

[0052] The operator adjusts the diameter of the driving wheel by manually rotating the hand wheel; during the adjustment process, according to the running state and actual demand of the equipment, slowly and smoothly, so that the transmission ratio changes continuously, and finally realizes the required proportional stepless speed change. At the same time, a scale or mark can be set on the adjustment mechanism to help the operator accurately grasp the degree of adjustment.

[0053] In complex fire fighting scenarios, the multi-purpose foam proportioning device can manually select the appropriate transmission ratio according to the fire situation, dynamically adjust the foam or wetting agent ratio, improve the utilization rate of fire extinguishing agent, reduce the waste of fire fighting resources, and ensure that the best fire extinguishing effect can be achieved under different fire conditions. This technology not only improves the matching and reliability of the equipment, but also expands the application range, improves the fire extinguishing efficiency, and has a broad application prospect in future fire fighting systems.
