Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire protection facilities technology, specifically a precast reinforced concrete outdoor fire hydrant. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor fire hydrants are an important part of urban fire protection infrastructure and are widely used along roadsides, around buildings, and in public places. The construction of traditional outdoor fire hydrant shafts mostly adopts cast-in-place reinforced concrete structures. The construction process includes multiple steps such as on-site formwork, steel bar binding, concrete pouring, curing, and formwork removal. The process is complicated, the cycle is long, and it is easily affected by environmental factors such as weather, temperature, and humidity, making it difficult to guarantee the construction quality.
[0003] In addition, cast-in-place construction requires a high level of technical skill from workers. Human error can lead to variations in structural dimensions, reinforcement arrangement, and concrete density, resulting in poor consistency of the finished product and making subsequent maintenance difficult.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an outdoor fire hydrant structure that can be standardized, prefabricated, and quickly installed to solve the many drawbacks of traditional construction methods. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: All components of this invention are prefabricated in the factory, requiring only hoisting and pipe connection on site. This significantly shortens the construction cycle and reduces on-site work time. Factory production ensures accurate component dimensions, dense concrete, and standardized reinforcement arrangement, avoiding human error and environmental interference during on-site pouring, and improving structural consistency and durability.

[0014] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. The purpose of this illustration is solely to provide a better understanding of the invention. Therefore, the examples given do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0015] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a precast reinforced concrete outdoor fire hydrant consists of a chamber 1, a fire hydrant pipe and fittings assembly 2, etc. The fire hydrant pipe and fittings assembly 2 is placed inside the chamber 1. The chamber 1 consists of a cover plate 5 and several sections of shaft 101. The cover plate 5 is engaged with the top of the uppermost shaft 101, and adjacent sections of shaft 101 are engaged with each other. Specifically: Each section of the well shaft 101 has an annular slot 3 on the outer surface of its upper port. Except for the lowest section of the well shaft 101, the lower end of the other sections of the well shaft 101 is provided with an annular locking block 4 along its outer edge. Adjacent sections of the well shaft 101 are connected as a whole by the annular slot 3 and the annular locking block 4.
[0016] The lower end of the cover plate 5 is provided with an annular locking block 6 along its outer edge. The cover plate 5 is placed on top of the uppermost well shaft 101, and the cover plate 5 is engaged with the annular locking opening 3 of the uppermost well shaft 101 through the annular locking block 6.
[0017] An annular rubber sealing gasket 7 is provided between the annular buckle 3 and the annular buckle block 6. On the inner side of the cover plate 5 and the uppermost well shaft 101, polysulfide sealant is used to fill the gap between the cover plate 5 and the uppermost well shaft 101. On the outer side of the cover plate 5 and the uppermost well shaft 101, M10 waterproof cement mortar is used to fill the gap between the cover plate 5 and the uppermost well shaft 101.
[0018] An annular rubber sealing gasket 28 is provided between the annular buckle 3 and the annular buckle block 24. After the two adjacent sections of the well barrel 101 are snapped together, the gap between the two adjacent sections of the well barrel 101 is grouted on the inside of the well barrel 101 with polysulfide sealant; the gap between the two adjacent sections of the well barrel 101 is grouted on the outside of the well barrel 101 with M10 waterproof cement mortar.
[0019] In this embodiment, at least one interface 9 is provided on the wall of the lowest well casing 101 for installing fire hydrant pipes.
[0020] The cross-section of the manhole 1 is rectangular or circular. The bottom of the manhole 1 is provided with a support 10 for fire hydrant pipes and fittings. Steps 11 are pre-embedded or reserved on the inner wall of the manhole 1 to facilitate personnel going up and down. According to the design height of the manhole 1, one or more manhole cylinders 101 can be stacked as needed.
[0021] The fire hydrant pipe and fittings assembly 2 (including fire hydrant valves, elbows, tees, etc.) is prefabricated in the factory and installed in the lowest shaft 101 of the manhole 1. At the construction site, it is connected to the main pipeline on site using the connecting pipe through interface 9.
[0022] In this embodiment, during on-site installation, the foundation is first excavated, then a subbase is laid, and the bottommost shaft 101 of the prefabricated manhole 1 is hoisted into place. Inside the manhole 1, the supports 10, steps 11, the remaining shafts 101, and the manhole cover are installed in sequence. Finally, the fire hydrant pipe is connected to the main pipe to complete the overall installation.
[0023] This invention introduces prefabrication technology into the field of outdoor fire hydrants, filling the gap in the existing technology of prefabricated reinforced concrete fire hydrants, and has significant technological advancements. All components are prefabricated in-house, requiring only hoisting and pipe connection on-site, thus shortening the construction cycle and reducing on-site work time. Factory production ensures accurate component dimensions, dense concrete, and standardized reinforcement layout, avoiding human error and environmental interference during on-site pouring, and improving structural consistency and durability. The well shaft in this invention uses standard components, and the height of the well chamber can be adjusted according to the site terrain or burial depth requirements to adapt to different engineering needs.
