Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire hydrant technology, and in particular to an outdoor fixed fire hydrant. Background Technology
[0002] Fire hydrants are fixed firefighting tools, found throughout cities, providing firefighters with water for extinguishing fires during rescue operations. Their main functions are to control combustibles, isolate accelerants, and eliminate ignition sources. Fire hydrants primarily allow fire trucks to draw water from municipal water supply networks or outdoor fire water supply networks for firefighting. They can also be directly connected to hoses and nozzles for firefighting. Outdoor fire hydrant systems are one of the most important firefighting facilities for extinguishing fires.
[0003] Currently, most existing fire hydrants are directly exposed to the outside environment. In daily life, vehicles are prone to collisions with fire hydrants, causing them to be directly impacted, which can easily lead to damage and leakage. Furthermore, direct contact with a certain impact force can cause the exposed fire hydrant body to break, resulting in a large amount of water being sprayed out and wasting water resources. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of the invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.

The support frame is connected to the protective shell. The top of the pressing rod is connected to the bottom of the support frame.
[0013] In some embodiments, a release assembly is provided at the bottom of each of the four sides of the inner wall of the protective housing. The release assembly includes a release housing, which is installed on the inner wall of the protective housing. A fifth spring is provided in the top of the release housing, and a release plate is connected to the bottom of the fifth spring. The release plate is mounted in the middle of the release housing by a plastic bracket, and the fifth spring is in a stretched state. A groove is provided on the outer wall of the protective housing at the corresponding position of the release housing.

A pressing rod is installed on the mounting hole. A striking head is provided on one end face of the pressing rod inside the release housing, and an impact plate is provided on the other end. A sixth spring is provided between the bottom of the impact plate and the groove. The top of the pressing rod is connected to the groove.
[0014] In some embodiments, the intercepting layer has four layers, and the mounting grooves are arranged in four directions from top to bottom. The pressing rods are respectively installed, and one pressing rod corresponds to one layer of the intercepting layer. The rest pass through to the next layer until the last one is connected. The top of the intercepting housing also includes fixing blocks in four directions. The fixing blocks are located on the through holes. The through holes are straight slots.

[0016] In some embodiments, the outer edge of the first water outlet and the second water outlet are provided with corresponding mounting rings. The opposite side of the mounting ring is provided with a connecting groove for mounting the fourth spring. The two ends of the fourth spring are respectively installed into the connecting grooves at both ends. The outer protective plate is arc-shaped. The surface of the impact plate is provided with the same arc shape as the outer protective plate. The outer protective plate is hollow and filled with rubber.
[0017] In some embodiments, the top of the connector is provided with a third connecting groove, and the bottom of the extension tube is provided with a connecting tube that matches the third connecting groove for connection.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0021] 1. When a fire hydrant suffers a minor frontal impact, it will first contact the outer protective plate. Upon contact, the connecting rod opens outward, allowing the first slider to slide in the first groove. The first spring then cushions the first slider, reducing damage to the inner protective shell. A mounting ring is installed on the opposite side of the protective shell and the outer protective plate, with a fourth spring between the rings. This allows the fourth spring to further cushion the impact, protecting the fire hydrant. The outer protective plate is also hollow and filled with rubber to increase its overall cushioning force. Furthermore, the hollow interior and rubber filling prevent the outer protective plate from becoming too rigid, thus preventing minor impacts from causing more severe damage in subsequent collisions.
[0022] 2. When subjected to a heavy frontal impact, but the impact force only breaks or deforms the outer protective plate while the protective shell remains intact, the connecting rod can be directly removed from the first slide groove, or if there is sufficient space, it can be directly removed from the first slider, and then a new outer protective plate can be installed.
[0023] 3. When the upper part of the fire hydrant body detaches due to a severe impact, the water flow can be blocked by activating the interception device. Specifically, after the fire hydrant body detaches, the pressing rod, which is installed at the bottom of the support frame, may bend or break after a severe impact. The tightened third spring will then lift the pressing plate, causing the broken part of the pressing rod to detach from the placement groove. Then, the tightened second spring will push the second slider to move the blocking plate to the opening, thereby closing the opening and preventing water from spraying out. This effectively avoids a large waste of water resources if maintenance is not timely.

[0049] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0050] Reference Figure 1-9 This invention provides an outdoor fixed fire hydrant, comprising a fire hydrant body 1, an inner protective component 2, an outer protective component 3, and a flow-blocking device 4. The inner protective component 2 includes a protective shell 21, which is installed on the upper part of the fire hydrant body 1 and encloses the exposed fire hydrant body 1. The outer walls of the protective shell 21 are provided with first sliding grooves 22 on both sides, and first sliders 23 are installed at both ends of the first sliding grooves 22. A first spring 24 is installed between the side wall of the first slider 23 and the first sliding groove 22. The end faces of the first sliders 23 are provided with first connecting grooves 25. The outer walls of the protective shell 21 are provided with… A first water outlet 26 is provided at a position opposite to the water outlet of the fire hydrant body 1; the outer protective component 3 includes an outer protective plate 31, and connecting brackets 32 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the outer protective plate 31. A second connecting groove 33 is provided on the end face of the connecting bracket 32. The second connecting groove 33 is connected to the first connecting groove 25 through a connecting rod 34. The two ends of the connecting rod 34 are movably connected to the first connecting groove 25 and the second connecting groove 33 respectively, and the two connecting rods 34 are in a figure-eight shape. A second water outlet 35 is provided at a position opposite to the first water outlet 26 on the outer protective plate 31; the intercepting device 4 is provided at the water inlet end of the fire hydrant body 1.
[0051] Specifically, after the fire hydrant body 1 is installed in the water inlet pipe, an inner protective component 2 is installed on the exposed fire hydrant body 1 for protection. Then, an outer protective component 3 is installed on the outer wall of the inner protective component 2 to achieve a multi-layered protection effect, making the fire hydrant less susceptible to damage. In the event of an impact, the outer protective plate 31 can provide external protection. Upon contact, the connecting rod 34 opens outward, allowing the first slider 23 to slide in the first groove 22. The first spring 24 then presses against the first slider 23 to provide a certain buffer, reducing damage to the inner protective shell 21. If the entire fire hydrant body 1 is damaged, the flow interceptor 4 is activated to intercept the flow and prevent a large amount of water from spraying out. The water outlet is provided to facilitate water pipe connection and water access.
[0052] The specific details are as follows:
[0053] Scenario 1:
[0054] When a fire hydrant suffers a minor frontal impact, it will first touch the outer protective plate 31. Upon contact, the connecting rod 34 opens outward, allowing the first slider 23 to slide in the first groove 22. The first spring 24 then pushes against the first slider 23 to provide some cushioning, reducing damage to the inner protective shell 21. Then, by setting an installation ring 27 on the opposite side of the protective shell 21 and the outer protective plate 31, and setting a fourth spring 28 between the installation rings 27, the fourth spring 28 can push against the outer protective plate 31 after a frontal impact, providing more effective cushioning to protect the fire hydrant body 1. The outer protective plate 31 is also hollow and filled with rubber to increase the overall cushioning force of the outer protective plate 31. At the same time, the hollow interior of the outer protective plate 31, filled with rubber, will not make the outer protective plate 31 too hard, thus preventing vehicles that have suffered minor impacts from suffering more serious damage when they do collide.
[0055] In the event of a minor side impact, the outer protective plate 31 can be made into an arc shape to reduce the overall contact area between the impacting vehicle and the outer protective plate 31. This allows the impacting vehicle to scrape along the surface of the outer protective plate 31, protecting the fire hydrant while also preventing the impacting vehicle from suffering serious damage.
[0056] Scenario 2:
[0057] When subjected to a heavy frontal impact, but the impact force only breaks or deforms the outer protective plate 31 while the protective shell 21 remains intact, the connecting rod 34 can be directly removed from the first slide groove 22, or if there is sufficient space, it can be directly removed from the first slider 23, and then a new outer protective plate 31 can be installed.
[0058] If both the outer protective plate 31 and the protective shell 21 are deformed, and the fire hydrant body 1 is not damaged, the inner and outer protective components can be replaced. Alternatively, a support frame 11 can be added to fix the protective shell 21 and provide it with good support, preventing it from directly impacting the fire hydrant body 1 and causing serious damage to it.
[0059] If the support frame 11 is intact after the impact, it can be used without replacing it. Only the damaged inner and outer protective components need to be replaced. The support frame 11 can be set as two semi-circular rings forming a fixed ring 111, which is installed on the outer wall of the fire hydrant body 1 for easy disassembly and replacement. Support rods 112 are set around the fixed ring 111 to support the four support surfaces of the protective shell 21, which can also play an effective buffering role in the event of an impact to protect the fire hydrant body 1. In addition, the support rods 112 are connected to the protective shell 21 by bolts, so that the support frame 11 can be replaced without removing it if it is not damaged. This ensures that replacement is not necessary when possible, thus saving replacement costs.
[0060] Scenario 3:
[0061] When the upper part of the fire hydrant body 1 is detached due to a very severe impact, the water can be blocked by activating the flow-stopping device 4. Specifically, after the fire hydrant body 1 is detached, since the pressing rod 495 is installed at the bottom of the support frame 11, it will bend or break after a severe impact. The pressing plate 494 can be lifted by the tightened third spring 493, which will cause the broken part of the pressing rod 495 to be removed from the placement groove 492. Then, the second slider 47 is pushed by the tightened second spring 46 to slide in the second slide groove 45, so that the blocking plate 49 can move to the opening 48 to close the opening 48 and prevent water from spraying out. This can effectively avoid a large amount of water wastage when maintenance is not timely.
[0062] Then, a waterproof plate 496 is integrally connected to one end of the blocking plate 49. A water passage hole 497 matching the opening 48 is provided on the waterproof plate 496 so that water can flow through when the blocking plate 49 is not activated. The waterproof plate 496 can also block the opening 48 to connect the connection port 42 and the extension pipe 43. This can prevent water from flowing into the mounting groove 44 from the opening 48, which would cause the second spring 46 to be damaged due to long-term immersion in water. A sealing ring can also be provided at the water passage hole 497 to increase the sealing performance. Then, a sealing plate 441 is installed on the top of the mounting groove 44 to seal it and prevent debris from falling into it and blocking the groove. This way, the sealing plate 441 can be opened later for easy replacement of the spring or maintenance. The sealing plate 441 should also be provided with a corresponding through hole 442 to facilitate the insertion of the pressing rod 495.
[0063] To prevent the pressing rod 495 from detaching after impact, a detachment component 5 is provided. The detachment component 5 includes a detachment housing 51 located on the inner wall of the protective housing 21. A detachment plate 53, installed inside the detachment housing 51 via a plastic fixing bracket 54, is connected to the pressing rod 495 to hold the blocking plate 49 in place. Upon severe frontal impact, the outer protective plate 31 will push the impact plate 59 into the groove 55. Simultaneously, the sixth spring 591 provides some cushioning. Then, the impact plate 59 drives the pressing rod 57, mounted on the mounting hole 551, to slide inwards. The striking head 58 on the pressing rod 57 then impacts the plastic fixing bracket 54, damaging it. The fifth spring 52 pulls the release plate 53 upward, which in turn moves the pressing rod 495 upward, allowing the pressing rod 495 to better disengage from the placement groove 492, thus better avoiding jamming. At the same time, the blocking plate 49 can be activated in advance to cut off the flow. Alternatively, the pressing rod 495 can be configured as a first pressing rod 4951 and a second pressing rod 4952. Each of the first pressing rod 4951 and the second pressing rod 4952 has a fourth connecting groove 4953 at one end. The fourth connecting groove 4953 is connected by a plastic rod 4954, and the connection point is located on the ground. This way, it can break better than bend upon impact, which also allows the pressing rod 495 to disengage from the placement groove 492 more effectively.
[0064] A fixing block 415 can be set on the top of the intercepting housing 41. A hole matching the through hole 442 is set on the fixing block 415. This can protect the pressing rod 495 in the ground and allow it to be released better. After the fire hydrant is installed, the pressing rod 495 in the ground will not be unable to move. Therefore, during the installation process, the top of the fixing block 415 and the ground need to be on the same plane. The reason for setting the through hole 442 as a straight groove is that the pressing rod 495 can be inserted into the placement groove 492 in the fixing plate 491. Then, the pressing rod 495 drags the fixing plate 491 to drive the blocking plate 49 to reset. Then, the corresponding rod is inserted into the through hole 418 on the side wall of the fixing block 415 to fix the pressing rod 495. When the upper limit plate 416 is covered, the pressing rod 495 passes through the limit hole 417 to prevent movement. At the same time, it is connected to another pressing rod 495. After the connection is completed, the rod can be pulled out of the fixing block 415 for continued use of interception.
[0065] Multiple intercepting layers 411 can be installed on the intercepting shell 41, preferably four layers. The mounting slots 44 can be distributed in the four directions of east, south, west, and north. This allows the pressing rod 495 to be installed at the bottom of the support frame 11 in four directions. The pressing rod 495 can then bypass the mounting slots 44 and penetrate to the next intercepting layer 411. In addition, matching limiting slots 412 and limiting blocks 414 can be set at the top and bottom edges of each intercepting layer 411 for limiting connection. The cover plate and bottom of the intercepting shell 41 also need to be set with corresponding limiting slots 412 and limiting blocks 414 to facilitate installation and limiting. Finally, matching bolts are inserted into the threaded holes 413 for locking connection. This multi-layer setting ensures that there is one layer for effective interception when any side is impacted. It also avoids the problem that if the fire hydrant body 1 is not completely broken when the impact surface is not on the side of the pressing rod 495, the pressing rod 495 will not break and the interception will not be possible. Multi-layer interception can also ensure a good interception effect.
[0066] A third connecting groove 421 can be provided at the top of the connecting port 42, and a connecting pipe 431 matching the third connecting groove 421 can be provided at the bottom of the extension pipe 43 for connection. This can ensure that water will not leak from the connection point when the upper and lower intercepting layers 411 are connected, ensuring good sealing. The connection point of the intercepting shell 41 also needs to be set in this way, and the intercepting shell 41 can be connected to the fire hydrant body 1 and the water inlet pipe through the flange, which is convenient for subsequent replacement and use.
