Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire-fighting equipment technology, specifically to a manifold connector structure. Background Technology

[0002] As a fire-fighting device, a water distributor is a fire-fighting appliance that connects the main fire-fighting water supply line with multiple branch lines. Depending on the usage requirements, it can be divided into various types such as two-way and three-way.

[0003] In response to this, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN206708459U proposes a fire-fighting water distributor, comprising one inlet, two outlets, two rotary handles, two pressure relief valves, and two ball valves. The inlet and outlets are an integral structure. The two ball valves are respectively installed in the two outlets. The two rotary handles are respectively connected to the two ball valves. Springs, ball bearings, and two steel columns are installed inside the two rotary handles. The rotary handles, springs, ball bearings, and two steel columns together constitute the ball valve control mechanism. The two pressure relief valves are installed on the two outlets. This utility model provides a fire-fighting water distributor with multiple connection interfaces for convenient use. It features a reasonable flow channel design, an aesthetically pleasing appearance, high system reliability, and ease of maintenance and repair. The reasonable pressure relief design solves the problem of difficult pressure relief in pipelines. However, the water distributor in the aforementioned patent still has some problems:

[0004] 1. When using a manifold, firefighters need to drag fire pipes to extinguish fires and carry out rescue operations. However, the rescue environment varies, and various situations such as complex building structures are often encountered. When the manifold is dragged, the opening and closing of the manifold valve is easily affected by various external factors such as the building structure. This can easily cause the manifold valve to rotate without human control, affecting the water flow speed inside the manifold and impacting fire extinguishing and rescue operations.

[0005] 2. When the water distributor in the above patent is in use, because the water distributor moves with the fire pipeline, long-term wear and tear will reduce the service life of the water distributor and cause property damage.

[0006] 3. The water distributor in the above patent is inconvenient to use. Because the water distributor is irregularly shaped and made of metal, it is easy for personnel to be affected when dragging fire pipes, making it inconvenient for personnel to use. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a water distributor connector structure to resolve the issues raised in the background section.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a water distributor connector structure, including a water distributor pipe, wherein the water inlet end of the water distributor pipe is fixedly connected to a first connector, and both water outlet ends of the water distributor pipe are fixedly connected to ball valves, and a protection mechanism is provided between the two ball valves.

[0009] The protective mechanism includes two supporting corner plates. Each supporting corner plate has two convex movable slots at its top, each containing a movable column. The tops of the two movable columns are fixedly connected to the bottom of a connecting plate. The top of the connecting plate is hinged to a first arc-shaped protective plate via two first movable hinges. A rubber plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each first arc-shaped protective plate. A connecting column is inserted into a movable hole on one side of each first arc-shaped protective plate. A baffle is fixedly installed at one end of each connecting column, and a first connecting spring is inserted into one side of the outer wall of the connecting column. The other end of each connecting column is rotatably connected to an opening at one end of a corresponding movable plate. A second arc-shaped protective plate is fixedly installed on one side of the movable plate, and an arc-shaped fixing rod is hinged to one end of the movable plate via a second movable hinge. Slots are opened on both sides of the inner wall of each arc-shaped fixing rod. A pressure plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of each slot via a pin. A second connecting spring is fixedly installed on one side of each pressure plate, and one end of each second connecting spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the inner wall of the corresponding arc-shaped fixing rod.

[0010] In one example, each of the movable columns is fixedly provided with a movable disk at its bottom end, and a support spring is fixedly provided on the side of the top end of the movable disk. The inner wall of each support spring is inserted and connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the corresponding movable column, and the outer wall of each support spring is inserted and connected to the inner wall of the corresponding convex movable groove.

[0011] In one example, a connecting block is fixedly provided at one end of one of the first arc-shaped protective plates, and elastic strips are fixedly provided on both sides of the bottom end of the connecting block.

[0012] In one example, a limiting wedge is fixedly provided at the bottom of one side of each elastic strip, and a limiting frame is fixedly provided at one end of the other first arc-shaped protective plate. The two sides of the inner wall of the limiting frame are respectively intersected and connected to the outer walls of the two elastic strips.

[0013] In one example, a first support block is fixedly provided on one side of the bottom end of the water distribution pipe, a second connector is fixedly connected to one end of each ball valve, and a second support block is fixedly provided at the bottom end of each ball valve.

[0014] In one example, the two ends of the first support block are fixedly connected to the two ends of the handle, and a crossbar is fixedly provided between the two second support blocks.

[0015] In one example, the bottom surface of the first support block and the bottom surfaces of the two second support blocks are provided with a plurality of evenly distributed threaded connection grooves, and the inner wall of each threaded connection groove is threaded with a threaded mating post.

[0016] In one example, each of the threaded mating posts is fixedly provided with a hexagonal disassembly block at its bottom end, and each hexagonal disassembly block is equipped with a universal ball at its bottom end.

[0017] The water distributor connector structure proposed in this invention can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The manifold connector structure features a protective mechanism between two ball valves. A movable plate connected to a movable column is connected to a support spring. A connecting plate is hinged to a first arc-shaped protective plate. A first connecting spring is inserted into the connecting column on the first arc-shaped protective plate. A movable plate rotatably connected to the connecting column is connected to a second arc-shaped protective plate. An arc-shaped fixed rod hinged to the movable plate is rotatably connected to a pressure plate. A second connecting spring connected to the pressure plate is connected to the arc-shaped fixed rod. When using this manifold, the valve switch can be protected to prevent the valve from being affected by external factors such as the building structure, preventing the valve from rotating without human intervention, ensuring the water flow speed within the manifold, and guaranteeing the firefighting and rescue process.

[0019] 2. The connector structure of this water distributor has a connecting plate connected to the movable column that is hinged to the first arc-shaped protective plate via a first movable hinge. The movable plate connected to the connecting column is connected to the second arc-shaped protective plate. This structure can protect the surface of the water distributor during use, prevent wear and tear caused by prolonged dragging, extend the service life of the water distributor, and protect personnel and property.

[0020] 3. The manifold connector structure features a threaded connection between a threaded joint and a threaded mating post via threaded grooves in the first and second support blocks. A universal ball is installed on the hexagonal disassembly block connected to the threaded joint, making the manifold more convenient to use. When personnel are dragging fire hoses, the universal ball on the hexagonal disassembly block facilitates the movement of the manifold. Simultaneously, with the assistance of a protective mechanism, the movement of the manifold is prevented from being affected by its own movement or external factors, further enhancing user convenience.

[0037] The protective mechanism 6 includes two support corner plates 601. Each support corner plate 601 has two convex movable slots at its top, each containing a movable column 602. The tops of the two movable columns 602 are fixedly connected to the bottom of a connecting plate 603. The top of the connecting plate 603 is hinged to a first arc-shaped protective plate 605 via two first movable hinges 604. A rubber plate 606 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of each first arc-shaped protective plate 605. A connecting column 607 is inserted into a movable hole on one side of each first arc-shaped protective plate 605. A baffle 608 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting column 607, and a baffle 608 is inserted into one side of the outer wall of the connecting column 607. A first connecting spring 609 is provided. The other end of each connecting post 607 is rotatably connected to an opening at one end of the corresponding movable plate 610. A second arc-shaped protective plate 611 is fixedly provided on one side of the movable plate 610. An arc-shaped fixing rod 613 is hinged to one end of the movable plate 610 through a second movable hinge 612. A slot is provided on both sides of the inner wall of each arc-shaped fixing rod 613. A pressure plate 614 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of each slot through a pin. A second connecting spring 615 is fixedly provided on one side of each pressure plate 614. One end of each second connecting spring 615 is fixedly connected to the surface of the inner wall of the corresponding arc-shaped fixing rod 613.

[0038] Each movable column 602 has a movable plate 616 fixedly installed at its bottom end. A support spring 617 is fixedly installed on the side of the top of the movable plate 616. The inner wall of each support spring 617 is inserted and connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the corresponding movable column 602. The outer wall of each support spring 617 is inserted and connected to the inner wall of the corresponding convex movable groove. One end of one of the first arc-shaped protective plates 605 is fixedly equipped with a connecting block 618. Elastic strips 619 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom end of the connecting block 618. A limiting inclined block is fixedly installed on the bottom of one side of each elastic strip 619. One end of the other first arc-shaped protective plate 605 is fixedly equipped with a limiting frame. The two sides of the inner wall of the limiting frame are inserted and connected to the outer walls of the two elastic strips 619 respectively.

[0039] A first support block 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom end of the water distribution pipe 1. A second connector 7 is fixedly connected to one end of each ball valve 4, and a second support block 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of each ball valve 4. The two ends of the first support block 3 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the handle 9 respectively. A crossbar 8 is fixedly installed between the two second support blocks 5. Multiple evenly distributed threaded connection grooves are opened on the surface of the bottom end of the first support block 3 and the surface of the bottom end of the two second support blocks 5. A threaded mating post 12 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of each threaded connection groove. A hexagonal disassembly block 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of each hexagonal disassembly block 10, and a universal ball 11 is installed at the bottom end of each hexagonal disassembly block 10.

[0040] Working principle: When using this manifold, the main fire-fighting pipeline can be connected to the first connector 2 of the branch pipe 1, and the branch fire-fighting pipeline can be connected to the second connector 7 of the branch pipe 1, thus completing the line splitting;

[0041] When the manifold is in use, the first support block 3 connected to the manifold pipe 1 and the second support block 5 connected to the ball valve 4 contact the ground. The threaded connection grooves of the first support block 3 and the second support block 5 are threadedly connected to the threaded docking post 12. The hexagonal disassembly block 10 connected to the threaded docking post 12 is equipped with a universal ball 11. When personnel drag the fire pipe, the universal ball 11 contacts the ground, which can facilitate the movement of the manifold. At the same time, the hexagonal disassembly block 10 cooperates with the threaded docking post 12 to facilitate disassembly and maintenance.

[0042] A protective mechanism 6 connects the two ball valves 4. When using the distributor, the connecting plate 603 is hinged to the first arc-shaped protective plate 605 via the first movable hinge 604. Personnel pull up and rotate the two first arc-shaped protective plates 605 to cover the ball valves 4, simultaneously aligning the elastic strip 619 connected to the connecting block 618 with the limiting frame connected to the first arc-shaped protective plate 605, thus connecting the two first arc-shaped protective plates 605. The movable column 602 connected to the two connecting plates 603 is interlocked with the convex movable groove opened in the support angle plate 601. When the first arc-shaped protective plate 605 is pulled up, the movable disc 616 connected to the movable column 602 acts as a support spring 617. After the two first arc-shaped protective plates 605 are connected, the distributor can... The two first arc-shaped protective plates 605 exert a downward force on the upper part of the ball valve 4 switch. At the same time, the movable holes opened in the first arc-shaped protective plates 605 are inserted and connected to the connecting column 607. The movable plate 610 rotatably connected to the connecting column 607 is hinged to the arc-shaped fixed rod 613 through the second movable hinge 612. When the personnel pull the arc-shaped fixed rod 613, the baffle 608 connected to the connecting column 607 can act on the first connecting spring 609, which can make the arc-shaped fixed rod 613 generate tension. The pressure plate 614 rotatably connected to the arc-shaped fixed rod 613 is connected to the second connecting spring 615. The personnel can lock the arc-shaped fixed rod 613 outside the second connector 7. At this time, the second arc-shaped protective plate 611 connected to the movable plate 610 can protect the surface of the water distributor again.
