Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a high-rise gas supply system and a fire truck with an aerial platform, belonging to the field of fire-fighting equipment technology. Background Technology
[0002] Firefighters typically use empty breathing cylinders with a design pressure of 30 MPa and a volume of 6.8 L. Based on the average person's breathing volume, they can be used for about 60 minutes. However, in actual use, due to the high intensity of physical work and the higher-than-average lung capacity of firefighters, the oxygen consumption rate increases dramatically, and the actual usage time is only 30 minutes, or even less.
[0003] Aerial platform fire trucks, as powerful equipment for high-rise rescue, possess ultra-high booms and working platforms, and are equipped with high-rise air supply systems, which can significantly improve operational endurance and rescue efficiency. Therefore, in more complex rescue scenarios, firefighters need to frequently travel back and forth to the fire truck to refill the air cylinders, reducing rescue efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-rise air supply system and a fire truck with an aerial platform, which can deliver compressed air to the aerial platform, shorten the inflation distance and time for high-rise rescuers, improve rescue efficiency, and ensure the safety of rescuers.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented using the following technical solution:
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a high-rise air supply system, including an air compressor and an air storage cylinder group. The air compressor is connected to the air storage cylinder group through a pipeline. The air storage cylinder group is used to store compressed air and is connected to a platform inflation mechanism through an air supply pipeline.
[0007] The platform inflation mechanism includes an inflation control panel, which is connected to an air supply pipeline and has multiple extension air pipes. The end of each extension air pipe is equipped with an inflation port, which is used to connect to the empty breathing cylinders of high-rise rescue personnel.
[0008] Optionally, the platform inflation mechanism also includes an electric telescopic rod, which is used to fix multiple inflation ports and can move the inflation ports to the empty breathing cylinders of high-rise rescue personnel by telescopic movement.
[0009] Optionally, it also includes a ground-inflatable explosion-proof box for inflating the empty breathing cylinders of ground rescue personnel, the ground-inflatable explosion-proof box being connected to an air compressor via pipeline.
[0010] Secondly, the present invention provides an aerial platform fire truck, including a platform and a boom, wherein the boom is divided into a first boom section and a second boom section, the first boom section and the second boom section are connected to each other, and the end of the second boom section is connected to an aerial platform, characterized in that it includes the high-rise air supply system described in any of the above claims, and the platform inflation mechanism is provided on the aerial platform.
[0011] Optionally, a cable chain is included, one end of which is connected to the middle of a first arm section, and the other end is connected to the end of a second arm section near the first arm section. An air supply line is laid inside the cable chain and the second arm section, and when the second arm section extends forward, it can drive the cable chain and the air supply line section to move together.
[0012] Optionally, an opening is provided in the middle of one arm section, through which the gas pipeline passes and connects to the gas storage cylinder group.
[0013] Optionally, the air compressor and air storage cylinder assembly are mounted on a walkway, and the side of the walkway is equipped with a ground-filled explosion-proof box.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:
[0015] This invention utilizes the extra-long boom of an aerial platform fire truck, with the air supply pipeline arranged inside the boom to deliver compressed air to the aerial platform. This shortens the inflation distance and time for high-rise rescuers, improves rescue efficiency, and ensures the safety of rescuers. It also avoids damage to the air supply pipeline caused by exposure to the external environment, making it safe and reliable.
[0016] The platform inflation mechanism of the present invention includes multiple inflation ports, which can achieve simultaneous air supply and higher air delivery efficiency.
[0017] This invention is equipped with an electric telescopic boom. After the boom reaches its maximum length, the final few meters of air delivery can be achieved through the electric telescopic boom, thereby achieving a larger air supply range and enhancing the vehicle's overall obstacle-crossing air supply capability.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the high-rise air supply system provided in this embodiment of the invention includes an air compressor 1, an air storage cylinder group 2, and a ground-filled explosion-proof box 4. The air compressor 1 is connected to the air storage cylinder group 2 and the ground-filled explosion-proof box 4 via pipelines. The compressed air generated by the air compressor 1 is filtered and purified, with one end stored in the air storage cylinder group 2 for use by the platform inflation mechanism 5, and the other end stored in the ground-filled explosion-proof box 4 for inflation by ground rescue personnel.
[0027] The platform inflation mechanism 5 includes an inflation control panel 9, which is connected to the gas storage cylinder group 2 via an air supply pipeline 3. The inflation control panel 9 is provided with multiple extension air pipes 11, and the end of each extension air pipe 11 is provided with an inflation interface 8, which can simultaneously inflate multiple high-rise rescue personnel. In this embodiment, there are 4 inflation interfaces 8, which are used to connect to the empty breathing cylinders of high-rise rescue personnel.
[0028] The platform inflation mechanism 5 also includes an electric telescopic rod 7, which can fix multiple inflation ports 8 and can move the inflation ports 8 to the empty breathing cylinders of high-rise rescue personnel by telescopic movement. Example
[0029] Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment of the invention provides a platform fire truck 10, which includes the high-rise gas supply system of Embodiment 1.
[0030] The platform fire truck 10 includes a platform 103 and a boom. The boom consists of a first boom section 101 and a second boom section 102, which are connected to each other. The end of the second boom section 102 is connected to a platform 104. An air compressor 1 and an air cylinder group 2 are located on the platform 103. A ground-filled explosion-proof air chamber 4 is placed on the side of the platform 103 to facilitate inflation by ground rescue personnel.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a cable chain 6, one end of which is connected to the middle of the first-section arm 101, and the other end is connected to the end of the second-section arm 102 near the first-section arm 101.

One end of the air supply pipe 3 passes through the opening and connects to the air storage cylinder group 2, and the other end connects to the inflation control panel 9. The end of the electric telescopic rod 7 is hinged to the climbing platform 104. When not in use, it is placed against the platform inflation mechanism 5; when in use, it can be rotated along the end hinge.
[0032] The working principle of this invention is as follows: the air compressor 1 compresses the air, and the compressed air is filtered and purified before being transmitted to the ground inflation explosion-proof box 4 and the air storage cylinder group 2 respectively. The compressed air stored in the ground inflation explosion-proof box 4 is used by ground rescue personnel for inflation. The compressed air stored in the air storage cylinder group 2 is transmitted to the platform inflation mechanism 5 through the air supply pipeline 3, and is used to inflate multiple high-rise rescue personnel through the inflation interface 8 of the inflation control panel 9.
[0033] The gas supply line 3 can extend and retract with the boom of the aerial platform fire truck 10. When the boom is extended to its maximum extent or there are obstacles that cannot be crossed, the electric telescopic rod 7 can be activated. The electric telescopic rod 7 drives the inflation connector 8 to approach the empty breathing cylinder of the corresponding high-rise rescue personnel to supply gas.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
