Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire-fighting water distributor technology, and in particular to a water distributor and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In the firefighting field, water spraying is needed to cool down and assist in firefighting. Since water needs to be sprayed from multiple directions or angles during firefighting, a water distributor is required. The existing water distributor consists of a water distribution pipe, an inlet pipe, a water distribution head, and corresponding valves. When in use, it can spray water in multiple directions to improve the firefighting and cooling effect. In use, the water distributor is usually fixed to the windowsill of the building and then the water is sprayed.

[0003] Existing water distributors require external equipment for fixing, which is inefficient during firefighting due to time constraints. Furthermore, the force of the water spray causes the nozzle connection to be pushed outwards, and the water direction needs adjustment. Existing water distributors are prone to detachment after repeated use, requiring periodic tightening, which is time-consuming and lacks stability. Therefore, we propose a water distributor and its usage method. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background art by proposing a water distributor and its usage method.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention: A water distributor includes two water supply pipes connected by a pair of connecting pipes. One end of one water supply pipe is connected to an inlet pipe, and an inlet valve for controlling the inlet pipe is provided on the water supply pipe. The other ends of the two water supply pipes are respectively connected to a single-outlet water outlet pipe and a double-outlet water outlet pipe. A fixing sleeve block is fixedly fitted on the outer side of each of the two water supply pipes, and a transmission sleeve block is slidably fitted on the outer side of each of the two water supply pipes. The two transmission sleeve blocks are connected to the two fixing sleeve blocks by connecting plates. An adjusting and fastening mechanism is provided between the two connecting plates. A support mechanism is connected to the outer side of the double-outlet water outlet pipe and the single-outlet water outlet pipe. A tensioning mechanism for use with the support mechanism is provided on the outer side of one of the connecting pipes. The tensioning mechanism includes a connecting sleeve block fixedly fitted on the outer side of the connecting pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the adjusting and fastening mechanism includes a guide support rod that is fixedly connected to the inner side of one of the connecting plates and slides through the other connecting plate, and the upper end of the connecting sleeve is provided with a balancing mechanism that cooperates with the guide support rod.

[0007] Preferably, the adjusting and fastening mechanism further includes a motor mounted on the outer surface of one of the connecting plates, the output shaft of the motor being fixedly connected to a transmission screw, the other connecting plate being sleeved on the outer side of the transmission screw, and a limit ring being fixedly connected to the outer end of the transmission screw.

[0008] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a connecting ring rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the upper end of the double-outlet water pipe and the single-outlet water pipe, a horizontal plate connecting the two connecting rings, a U-shaped plate fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting sleeve, a pull rod slidably connected to the lower end of the U-shaped plate, a buckle plate fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pull rod, an opening on the upper surface of the horizontal plate, a cavity inside the opening, and a pair of inner grooves on the inner surface of the opening, the two inner grooves and the opening forming a cross structure.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the top of the pull rod, a positioning spring located inside the U-shaped plate is sleeved on the outer side of the pull rod, protrusions are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper end of the buckle plate, and grooves matching the protrusions are opened in both inner grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom ends of the two fixed sleeve blocks and the two transmission sleeve blocks are all fixedly connected with clamping plates, and the surfaces of the two pairs of clamping plates that are close to each other are all fixedly connected with anti-slip pads.

[0011] Preferably, the balancing mechanism includes a vertical rod fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting sleeve block. The upper side of the vertical rod has a through groove that is at the same level as the guide support rod. A bolt extending into the through groove is inserted into the upper end of the vertical rod to press the guide support rod.

[0012] Preferably, each of the two water supply pipes is equipped with a water outlet valve that controls the single-outlet water outlet pipe and the double-outlet water outlet pipe respectively. The double-outlet water outlet pipe is equipped with two regulating valves for controlling the two outlets at the bottom of the double-outlet water outlet pipe.

[0013] A method for using a water distributor, step one: before water spraying, place the water distributor on the windowsill of the building, and by setting an adjustment and fastening mechanism on the outside of the two water pipes, start the motor to drive the transmission screw to rotate, and drive one pair of clamps to move closer to the windowsill through two transmission sleeve blocks, so that the two pairs of clamps are clamped on both sides of the windowsill, thereby fixing the water distributor.

[0014] Step 2: When three water outlets are needed, open two outlet valves. Water from the two water pipes will be sprayed outwards through the single-outlet and double-outlet outlets. The water flow rate from the double-outlet outlet can be controlled by adjusting two regulating valves. When two water outlets are needed, close the outlet valve above the single-outlet outlet and open the outlet valve above the double-outlet outlet. After adjustment, connect the inlet pipe to the external water supply equipment and open the inlet valve to complete the spraying.

[0015] Step 3: By setting up a support mechanism between the single-outlet water pipe and the double-outlet water pipe, and setting up a tensioning mechanism on the connecting pipe to cooperate with the support mechanism, before spraying water, the buckle plate is inserted into the cavity through the opening. Then, the pull rod is rotated 90 degrees to rotate the buckle plate into the two inner grooves, which can support and fasten the single-outlet water pipe and the double-outlet water pipe. Under the rebound force of the positioning spring, the buckle plate will be firmly located in the two inner grooves.

[0016] Step 4: By setting a balancing mechanism at the upper end of the connecting sleeve, when the fastening mechanism is clamped and fixed, the guide support rod will be inserted into the through groove. Rotating the bolt will make the positioning block at the bottom of the bolt contact the upper surface of the guide support rod, thereby improving the stability of the connection. By setting a balancing mechanism, the pressure on the connecting pipe generated by the support mechanism and the tensioning mechanism is reduced, which can improve the service life of the water distributor.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] 1. By setting an adjustment and fastening mechanism on the outside of the two water pipes, the motor is started to drive the transmission screw to rotate, and through the two transmission sleeves, one pair of clamps is driven to move closer to the windowsill, so that the two pairs of clamps are clamped on both sides of the windowsill, thereby fixing the water distributor. This can quickly fix it, save time, and improve the efficiency of water spraying.

[0019] 2. By setting a support mechanism between the single-outlet water pipe and the double-outlet water pipe, and setting a tensioning mechanism on the connecting pipe to cooperate with the support mechanism, before spraying water, the buckle plate is inserted into the cavity through the opening, and then the pull rod is rotated 90 degrees to rotate the buckle plate into the two inner grooves, which can support and fasten the single-outlet water pipe and the double-outlet water pipe. Under the action of the rebound force of the positioning spring, the buckle plate will be firmly located in the two inner grooves.

[0020] 3. By setting a balancing mechanism at the upper end of the connecting sleeve, when the fastening mechanism is clamped and fixed, the guide support rod will be inserted into the through groove. Rotating the bolt will make the positioning block at the bottom of the bolt contact the upper surface of the guide support rod, thereby improving the stability of the connection. By setting a balancing mechanism, the pressure on the connecting pipe generated by the support mechanism and the tensioning mechanism is reduced, which can improve the service life of the water distributor.

One end of one water supply pipe 1 is connected to an inlet pipe 5, and an inlet valve 6 is provided on the water supply pipe 1 to control the inlet pipe 5. The other ends of the two water supply pipes 1 are respectively connected to a single-port outlet pipe 4 and a double-port outlet pipe 8. The output ends of both the single-port outlet pipe 4 and the double-port outlet pipe 8 are connected to spray hoses. Each of the two water supply pipes 1 is equipped with an outlet valve 10 to control the single-port outlet pipe 4 and the double-port outlet pipe 8 respectively. Two regulating valves 13 are installed on the double-port outlet pipe 8 to control the two outlets at the bottom of the double-port outlet pipe 8, thereby adjusting the water flow rate. A fixed sleeve is provided on the outer side of each of the two water supply pipes 1. There is a fixed sleeve 2, and a transmission sleeve 15 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the two water pipes 1. The two transmission sleeves 15 are connected to the two fixed sleeves 2 through connecting plates 3. An adjusting and fastening mechanism 7 is provided between the two connecting plates 3. The outer sides of the double-outlet water pipe 8 and the single-outlet water pipe 4 are connected to a support mechanism 9. A tensioning mechanism 12 that works with the support mechanism 9 is provided on the outer side of one of the connecting pipes 11. The tensioning mechanism 12 includes a connecting sleeve 1201 fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the connecting pipe 11. The adjusting and fastening mechanism 7 also includes a motor 701 installed on the outer surface of one of the connecting plates 3. The output shaft of the motor 701 is fixedly connected to a transmission screw 702. The other connecting plate 3 is driven by the transmission screw 702. On the outside, a limit ring 16 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the transmission screw 702, which can limit the connection plate 3, thereby limiting the two transmission sleeve blocks 15. Clamping plates 704 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of both fixed sleeve blocks 2 and the two transmission sleeve blocks 15. Anti-slip pads 17 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two pairs of clamping plates 704 that are close to each other, providing an anti-slip effect during fixing. The support mechanism 9 includes a connecting ring 901 rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the upper end of the double-outlet water pipe 8 and the single-outlet water pipe 4. A horizontal plate 902 connects the two connecting rings 901. A U-shaped plate 1202 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting sleeve block 1201. A pull rod 1203 is slidably connected to the lower end of the U-shaped plate 1202. The bottom end of the 3 is fixedly connected to a buckle plate 1204. The upper surface of the horizontal plate 902 is provided with a through-hole 1209. The inside of the through-hole 1209 is provided with a cavity 1207. The inner surface of the through-hole 1209 is provided with a pair of inner grooves 1208. The two inner grooves 1208 and the through-hole 1209 form a cross structure. When it is necessary to replace the single-outlet water pipe 4 and the double-outlet water pipe 8, the buckle plate 1204 can be removed from the through-hole 1209. The top end of the pull rod 1203 is fixedly connected to a limit block. The outer side of the pull rod 1203 is fitted with a positioning spring 1206 located inside the U-shaped plate 1202. The upper ends of the buckle plate 1204 are fixedly connected to both sides with protrusions 1205. The two inner grooves 1208 are provided with grooves that match the protrusions 1205.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the water distributor proposed in this invention, compared with Embodiment 1, further includes: an adjusting and fastening mechanism 7 comprising a guide support rod 703 fixedly connected to the inner side of one of the connecting plates 3 and slidingly passing through the other connecting plate 3; a balancing mechanism 14 for cooperating with the guide support rod 703 is provided at the upper end of the connecting sleeve block 1201; the balancing mechanism 14 includes a vertical rod 1401 fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting sleeve block 1201; a through groove 1402 located on the same horizontal plane as the guide support rod 703 is opened on the upper side of the vertical rod 1401; the upper end of the vertical rod 1401 is inserted into... There is a bolt 1403 extending into the through groove 1402 to press the guide support rod 703. When the adjusting fastening mechanism 7 is clamping and fixing, the movement of the connecting plate 3 will drive the guide support rod 703 to move, and the guide support rod 703 will be inserted into the through groove 1402. Then, the bolt 1403 is rotated so that the positioning block at the bottom of the bolt 1403 contacts the upper surface of the guide support rod 703, so that the guide support rod 703 is stably inserted into the through groove 1402, which plays a supporting role for the vertical rod 1401 and reduces the pressure on the connecting pipe 11 generated by the support mechanism 9 and the tensioning mechanism 12.

[0033] Specific usage method: Before water spraying, place the water distributor on the windowsill of the building. Adjust and fasten the mechanism 7 on the outside of the two water pipes 1. Start the motor 701 to drive the transmission screw 702 to rotate. Through the two transmission sleeves 15, drive one pair of clamping plates 704 to move closer to the windowsill, clamping the two pairs of clamping plates 704 on both sides of the windowsill, thus fixing the water distributor in place. When three water outlets are needed, open the two outlet valves 10. Water from the two water pipes 1 will spray outwards through the single-outlet outlet pipe 4 and the double-outlet outlet pipe 8. The speed of water flow from the double-outlet outlet pipe 8 can be controlled by adjusting the two regulating valves 13. When two water outlets are needed, close the outlet valve 10 above the single-outlet outlet pipe 4 and open the outlet valve 10 above the double-outlet outlet pipe 8. After adjustment, connect the inlet pipe 5 to the external water supply equipment and open the inlet valve 6 to complete the spraying. A support mechanism 9 is installed between the single-outlet outlet pipe 4 and the double-outlet outlet pipe 8. A tensioning mechanism 12, which works in conjunction with the support mechanism 9, is provided on the connecting pipe 11. Before spraying water, the buckle plate 1204 is inserted into the cavity 1207 through the through-hole 1209. Then, the pull rod 1203 is rotated 90 degrees, causing the buckle plate 1204 to rotate into the two inner grooves 1208. This provides support and fastening for the single-outlet water pipe 4 and the double-outlet water pipe 8. Under the rebound force of the positioning spring 1206, the buckle plate 1204 will be firmly positioned in the two inner grooves 1208. By setting a balancing mechanism 14 at the upper end of the connecting sleeve block 1201, when the fastening mechanism 7 is clamped and fixed, the guide support rod 703 will be inserted into the through groove 1402. By rotating the bolt 1403, the positioning block at the bottom of the bolt 1403 will contact the upper surface of the guide support rod 703, improving the stability of the connection. By setting the balancing mechanism 14, the pressure exerted on the connecting pipe 11 by the support mechanism 9 and the tensioning mechanism 12 is reduced, which can improve the service life of the water distributor.
