Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a pipeline installation structure, and more particularly to a pipeline installation mechanism for emergency rescue vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Emergency vehicles are specialized vehicles equipped with specialized equipment and tools for performing tasks such as on-site repair, rescue, and emergency support during emergencies such as natural disasters and accidents. Emergency vehicles have high chassis, strong power, and some have off-road capabilities, enabling them to adapt to harsh road conditions and ensure that they arrive at the scene as quickly as possible. There are many types of emergency vehicles, such as water supply and drainage emergency vehicles, whose main function is to deal with water pipe bursts, flooding, and water accumulation caused by flash floods. They are usually equipped with high-power water pumps, water pipe reels, and pipe dredging machines to drain the water and alleviate traffic congestion.

[0003] Traditional emergency rescue vehicles are equipped with numerous hoses to simultaneously transfer flooded areas over long distances to other locations for drainage. These hoses are often simply piled up at the side tailgate and pulled out when needed, resulting in a very disorganized system. Existing emergency rescue vehicles are equipped with various winding rollers inside to wind the hoses, allowing for the removal of the entire hose section when needed. However, in practical applications, hoses are often used in multiple sections simultaneously, rather than in single-section use. When connecting the far end of the hose to the flooded area, the middle section is prone to misalignment. Especially when using multiple hose sections, multiple people are needed to monitor them simultaneously, which is quite inconvenient. Furthermore, different hoses need to be secured individually, which is also inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, this case aims to provide a hose installation mechanism for emergency vehicles, which can not only disassemble and use the hoses individually, but also install and fix multiple hoses at the same time, enabling rapid handling in the event of large-scale flooding. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a hose installation mechanism for emergency rescue vehicles, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] This invention is implemented as follows: A hose installation mechanism for a rescue vehicle includes: a flexible hose, one end of which is connected to a lower extraction hose head, and the side of the flexible hose away from the lower extraction hose head is connected to an upper connecting hose head; and further includes: The flexible hose installation structure includes a central connecting hoop at the middle of the flexible hose. The structure comprises a square frame with a circular cavity on its inner side. A mating ring tube is embedded in the center of the circular cavity, and a fixing member is provided on the outer side of the mating ring tube. When the flexible hose passes through the mating ring tube, the central connecting hoop is positioned inside the mating ring tube, and the fixing member is fixed on the outer side of the central connecting hoop. A first outer frame and a second outer frame are respectively provided on both sides of the square frame, located outside the circular cavity. The two ends of the flexible hose are respectively wrapped around the first outer frame and the second outer frame. The combined installation structure includes an inner connector at both the upper and lower ends of the square frame, a long frame, an outer connector on the inner side of the long frame, several outer mounting parts on the outer side of the long frame, and several inner mounting parts on the surface of the long frame. The long frame is locked to the rescue vehicle by the inner mounting parts.

[0007] As a further improvement, the mating ring tube includes an annular band embedded in a circular cavity, with a plurality of inner protrusions on the inner side of the annular band and a plurality of outer protrusions on the outer side of the central connecting hoop, the inner and outer protrusions being arranged alternately.

[0008] As a further improvement, the inner side of the square frame is provided with several long-diameter cavities, and the fixing member includes an outwardly protruding screw that is movably connected in the long-diameter cavities. The end of the outwardly protruding screw is connected to a fixed post, which extends out and abuts against the outer side of the outwardly protruding block.

[0009] As a further improvement, the first outer frame and the second outer frame have the same structural size. The first outer frame includes a mounting plate connected to a square frame, and the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of winding rods.

[0010] As a further improvement, a circular stiffener is provided on the square frame, and an inner buckle is provided on the inner side of the mounting plate. The inner buckle is movably engaged with the circular stiffener, and the first outer frame and the second outer frame are mounted on the inner buckle.

[0011] As a further improvement, the winding rod includes a winding shaft inserted into a mounting plate, the end of which is provided with an outer expansion cylinder, which is threadedly connected to the winding shaft.

[0012] As a further improvement, the outer connector is a cylindrical roller with a flat top surface, and the inner connector is a receiving clip with an open top. When the square frame is embedded in the long frame, the receiving clip is clamped on the outside of the cylindrical roller.

[0013] As a further improvement, the external mounting component includes a protruding plate disposed on a long frame, a circular mounting base disposed at the bottom of the protruding plate, and a removable nail head disposed at the lower end of the circular mounting base.

[0014] As a further improvement, the internal mounting component consists of several countersunk holes on the surface of the long frame.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: In existing technologies, when connecting the far end of the hose to a flood-prone area, the middle section of the hose is prone to deviation, especially when using multiple hose sections. This requires multiple people to monitor multiple hose sections simultaneously, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, different pipe sections need to be secured individually, which is also inconvenient. Therefore, this invention, through its hose installation structure, firstly, sets a central connecting clamp in the middle of the flexible hose section, which can cooperate with the mating ring pipe and fixing components to firmly fix the middle section of the hose section. Then, the two ends of the flexible hose section can be wrapped around the first outer frame and the second outer frame respectively, achieving two-section storage. This allows for the storage of longer hose sections in confined spaces, and can also be quickly unfolded from both ends during use, thus achieving the effects of quick use and convenient storage.

[0016] When the flexible hose is used in conjunction with the mating ring pipe, the two may rotate and slip off due to the influence of water pressure and external conditions (such as an uneven pile of gravel). Therefore, this invention provides an inner protrusion in the annular belt inside the mating ring pipe, which cooperates with the outer protrusion on the outside of the central connecting hoop, so that the flexible hose is less likely to rotate and slip off from the mating ring pipe when it is in use.

[0017] In the axial position, the middle connecting hoop of the flexible tube also needs to be restricted to a certain extent, otherwise it is easy to slip back and forth. Therefore, the present invention also provides an outward protruding screw and a fixed post on the outside of the mating ring tube, so as to abut against the outside of the outward protrusion and use a lateral fitting method to prevent the flexible tube from sliding back and forth. In addition, the outward protruding screw needs to be reserved with space for quick wrench movement.

[0018] When storing flexible tubing, existing methods typically involve disorganizing the tubing in the vehicle, making it easy to lose track of the beginning and end and requiring searching through a pile of tubing. Therefore, this invention directly sets a first outer frame and a second outer frame on a square frame, allowing the tubing to be directly wound around the first and second outer frames. By winding on both sides, the tubing is segmented, avoiding the situation where single-end winding is too thick and swollen.

[0019] When winding the tubing, it is usually done manually, which involves constantly rotating the tubing and is quite laborious. Therefore, this invention directly sets a rotatable inner buckle on a square frame and sets the first outer frame and the second outer frame on the inner buckle. The tubing can be wound and released by rotating the inner buckle.

[0020] To prevent the entire roll of tubing from being spilled out due to vehicle bumps after being wound into a circle, the winding rod of this invention not only has a winding shaft for supporting the tubing, but also has an arc-shaped outer expansion cylinder at the end of the winding shaft, which can restrict the tubing to a certain extent and thus prevent the tubing from scattering during transportation.

[0021] However, in outdoor applications, once emergency hoses are deployed, it is generally not enough to use just one hose; multiple hoses are usually deployed simultaneously. Therefore, to further improve the ease of installation, this invention incorporates a combined installation structure on top of the existing hose installation structure. This allows the hose installation structure to be individually embedded into the long frame via internal connectors. Furthermore, the entire long frame can be directly installed in the emergency vehicle via the internal connectors during transport, and then directly fixed to the external environment via the external connectors during use, thereby improving overall practicality.

[0022] When the tube and belt installation structure is used in conjunction with the long frame, the complex installation structure makes both the collection process and the preparation before use quite complicated. Therefore, the present invention uses a circular roller and a receiving clamp to limit and fix the tube and belt installation structure, which is more stable during use and quicker and more convenient to disassemble and use separately.

[0023] If the flood-prone area is complex, the installation and fixing of the entire combined installation structure will be more troublesome. Therefore, the present invention uses the circular mounting base and nail head on the external mounting component to bury the entire structure in the soil through the nail head, and the nail head can be removed during transportation and storage to reduce space occupation.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] All embodiments of the present invention are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In the description of this invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating that the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the method are clearer. The technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort indicate or imply the relative importance of the indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a hose installation mechanism for a rescue vehicle includes: a flexible hose 101, one end of which is connected to a lower extraction hose head 102, and the side of the flexible hose 101 away from the lower extraction hose head 102 is connected to an upper connecting hose head 103. It also includes: a hose installation structure 201, a central connecting clamp 104 disposed in the middle of the flexible hose 101, and a square frame 202. A circular cavity is formed on the inner side of the square frame 202, and a mating ring tube 203 is embedded in the middle of the circular cavity. A fixing member 204 is disposed on the outer side of the mating ring tube 203. When the flexible hose 101 passes through the mating ring tube 203, the central connecting clamp 104 is positioned within the mating ring tube 203. The fixing member 204 is fixed to the outside of the central connecting hoop 104. The two sides of the square frame 202 are respectively provided with a first outer frame 205 and a second outer frame 206 located outside the circular cavity. The two ends of the flexible tube 101 are respectively wrapped around the first outer frame 205 and the second outer frame 206. The joint installation structure 301 is provided with inner connecting members 207 at both the upper and lower ends of the square frame 202. The joint installation structure 301 includes a long frame 302. The inner side of the long frame 302 is provided with an outer connecting member 303. The outer side of the long frame 302 is provided with a number of outer mounting members 304. The surface of the long frame 302 is provided with a number of inner mounting members 305. The long frame 302 is locked to the rescue vehicle by the inner mounting members 305.

[0037] In existing technologies, when the far end of the hose is connected to a flood-prone area, the middle section of the hose is prone to deviation, especially when using multiple hose sections. This requires multiple people to monitor multiple hose sections simultaneously, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, different pipes need to be fixed separately, which is also inconvenient. Therefore, the present invention, through the hose installation structure 201, firstly, sets a central connecting clamp 104 in the middle of the flexible hose 101, which can cooperate with the matching ring pipe 203 and the fixing member 204 to firmly fix the middle of the hose. Then, the two ends of the flexible hose 101 can be wrapped around the first outer sleeve 205 and the second outer sleeve 206 respectively, realizing two-section storage. This allows for the storage of longer hose sections in a confined space, and can also be quickly spread out from both ends when in use, thus achieving the effect of quick use and convenient storage.

[0038] When the flexible tube 101 is engaged with the mating ring tube 203, due to the influence of water pressure and external conditions (such as an uneven pile of gravel), the two may rotate and slip off. Therefore, in this embodiment, the mating ring tube 203 includes an annular strip 2031 embedded in a circular cavity. The inner side of the annular strip 2031 is provided with a plurality of inner protrusions 2032, and the outer side of the central connecting clamp 104 is provided with a plurality of outer protrusions 2033. The inner protrusions 2032 and the outer protrusions 2033 are staggered. By providing inner protrusions 2032 in the annular strip 2031 in the mating ring tube 203 and forming a engagement with the outer protrusions 2033 on the outer side of the central connecting clamp 104, the flexible tube 101 is less likely to rotate and slip off with the mating ring tube 203 when it is fixed in use.

[0039] In terms of axial position, the middle connecting hoop 104 of the flexible tube 101 also needs to be restricted to a certain extent, otherwise it is easy to slip back and forth. Therefore, the inner side of the square frame 202 in this embodiment is provided with several long-diameter cavities. The fixing member 204 includes an outwardly protruding screw 2041 movably connected in the long-diameter cavity. The end of the outwardly protruding screw 2041 is connected to a fixed post 2042. After the fixed post 2042 extends out, it abuts against the outside of the outwardly protruding block 2033. By also setting the outwardly protruding screw 2041 and the fixed post 2042 on the outside of the mating ring tube 203, it abuts against the outside of the outwardly protruding block 2033. The flexible tube 101 cannot slide back and forth by adopting a lateral fitting method. In addition, the outwardly protruding screw 2041 needs to reserve space for the movement of a quick wrench.

[0040] When storing flexible tubing 101, existing methods generally involve disorganized arrangement of the tubing inside the vehicle, which can easily lead to difficulty in finding the beginning and end of the tubing and requires searching through a pile of tubing. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first outer frame 205 and the second outer frame 206 have the same structural size. The first outer frame 205 includes a mounting plate 2051 connected to a square frame 202. The mounting plate 2051 is provided with several winding rods 2052. The first outer frame 205 and the second outer frame 206 are directly mounted on the square frame 202, so that the tubing can be directly wound around the first outer frame 205 and the second outer frame 206. By winding on both sides, the tubing is segmented, avoiding the state of excessive thickness and swelling when wound on one end.

[0041] When winding the tubing, it is usually done manually, which involves constantly rotating the tubing and is quite laborious. Therefore, in this embodiment, a circular stiffener 2022 is provided on the square frame 202, and an inner buckle 2053 is provided on the inner side of the mounting plate 2051. The inner buckle 2053 is movably engaged with the circular stiffener 2022. The first outer frame 205 and the second outer frame 206 are set on the inner buckle 2053. The rotatable inner buckle 2053 is directly set on the square frame 202, and the first outer frame 205 and the second outer frame 206 are set on the inner buckle 2053. The winding and unwinding of the tubing can be achieved by rotating the inner buckle 2053.

[0042] To prevent the entire roll of tubing from spilling out due to vehicle bumps after being wound into a coil, the winding rod 2052 in this embodiment includes a winding shaft 20521 inserted into the mounting plate 2051. The end of the winding shaft 20521 is provided with an outer expansion cylinder 20522, which is threadedly connected to the winding shaft 20521. The winding rod 2052 not only has a winding shaft 20521 for carrying the tubing, but also an arc-shaped outer expansion cylinder 20522 at the end of the winding shaft 20521, which can restrict the tubing to a certain extent and thus prevent the tubing from scattering during transportation.

[0043] However, in outdoor use, once emergency hoses are deployed, it is generally not enough to use just one hose; multiple hoses usually need to be deployed simultaneously. Therefore, to further improve the ease of installation, this invention provides a combined installation structure 301 based on the hose installation structure 201. This allows the hose installation structure 201 to be embedded one by one into the long frame 302 via the inner connectors 207. Furthermore, the entire long frame 302 can be directly installed in the emergency vehicle via the inner mounting components 305 during transportation, and then directly fixed to the external environment via the outer mounting components 304 during use, thereby improving overall practicality.

[0044] When the tube and belt installation structure 201 is used in conjunction with the long frame 302, a complex installation structure would make both the collection process and the preparation before use quite complicated. Therefore, in this embodiment, the outer connector 303 is a cylindrical roller with a flat top surface, and the inner connector 207 is a receiving clip with an open top. When the square frame 202 is embedded in the long frame 302, the receiving clip is clamped on the outside of the cylindrical roller. Through the cylindrical roller and the receiving clip, the tube and belt installation structure 201 can be limited and fixed, making it more stable during use and quicker and more convenient to disassemble and use alone.

[0045] If the flood-prone area is complex, the installation and fixing of the entire combined installation structure 301 will be more troublesome. Therefore, the external mounting component 304 in this embodiment includes a protruding plate 3041 set on the long frame 302. A circular mounting base 3042 is set at the bottom of the protruding plate 3041. A detachable nail head 3043 is set at the lower end of the circular mounting base 3042. With the circular mounting base 3042 and nail head 3043 on the external mounting component 304, the entire structure can be buried in the soil by the nail head 3043. The nail head 3043 can be removed during transportation and storage to reduce space occupation.

[0046] In order to allow the entire mechanism to be installed inside the vehicle, the internal mounting component 305 in this embodiment is a number of countersunk holes provided on the surface of the long frame 302. The entire long frame 302 can be locked inside the vehicle by multiple long screws, thereby ensuring stability during transportation.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
