Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire extinguisher box technology, and in particular to a multifunctional fire extinguisher box. Background Technology

[0002] Fire extinguishers are commonly used fire-fighting equipment in industrial and mining enterprises. Depending on the specific working conditions, their size, specifications, and extinguishing materials vary. Common types include carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, dry powder fire extinguishers, and 1211 fire extinguishers. Among these, dry powder fire extinguishers are the most widely used in industrial and mining enterprises due to their wide applicability and cost-effectiveness. These fire extinguishers are usually stored in dedicated fire extinguisher boxes, which are typically marked with a distinctive red paint to facilitate quick identification and location by personnel in emergencies. In the event of a fire, personnel can open the fire extinguisher box, retrieve the fire extinguisher, and use it to extinguish the fire. After use, the fire extinguisher is returned to the box for future use.

[0003] The proper use of a fire extinguisher relies on a stable internal pressure. After use or during long-term storage, the internal pressure can easily decrease. Therefore, fire extinguishers are equipped with pressure gauges to display the internal pressure status in real time. When the pressure is found to be too low, the fire extinguisher must be replaced immediately to prevent it from failing to extinguish a fire. Furthermore, fire extinguishers have a fixed effective service life. Even if the internal pressure is normal, they must be replaced after this period. Therefore, fire extinguishers are marked with their manufacturing date and effective expiration date at the time of manufacture, and their use beyond this period is strictly prohibited.

[0004] Existing fire extinguisher boxes are divided into different specifications according to the size of the fire extinguishers they store, but their structural principles are basically the same. They are all rectangular in design and equipped with an upper door and a lower door. When the upper door is opened, the lower door opens naturally at the same time, making it easy for staff to take out and put in fire extinguishers. When checking the pressure or expiration date of fire extinguishers, the same opening operation must be performed. After the operation is completed, the upper and lower doors are closed first, and then the upper door is closed. The lower door is locked by the upper door's roll bar to prevent it from opening by itself.

[0005] However, existing fire extinguisher boxes have many drawbacks, causing great inconvenience to the daily inspection and management of fire extinguishers: First, fire extinguisher boxes are fully enclosed, and checking the pressure or expiration date of fire extinguishers requires opening the box door, which is cumbersome; Second, fire extinguisher boxes are usually stored in corners of the premises with poor lighting conditions, and the pressure gauges of fire extinguishers are small, so staff often need to use flashlights or other lighting tools to see the pressure status, increasing the difficulty of inspection; Third, the expiration date of fire extinguishers is usually marked in steel characters on the bottom of the cylinder, and the heavy fire extinguisher must be removed from the box to see it, which is not only laborious, but also consumes a lot of inspection time when there are many fire extinguishers, reducing management efficiency.

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, there is an urgent need for a fire extinguisher box that can solve the problems of inconvenient fire extinguisher inspection and insufficient lighting, and has multiple functions such as storage, convenient inspection and auxiliary lighting, so as to improve the management efficiency and emergency reliability of fire protection equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional fire extinguisher box that enables safe storage of fire extinguishers, convenient inspection of their pressure and service life, and also has auxiliary lighting function, reducing inspection difficulty, improving management efficiency, and ensuring that fire extinguishers can be used normally in emergency situations.

[0008] This invention provides a multifunctional fire extinguisher box, comprising: The housing is a rectangular cavity with an open top, and the interior has a cavity for holding multiple fire extinguishers. A cabinet door assembly includes an upper door and a lower door, the upper door being hinged to the top of the cabinet; the lower door being hinged to the middle of one of the side walls of the cabinet; when the upper door is closed, the flange of the upper door can lock the lower door. Lighting components are installed on the inner side wall of the upper door; A transparent observation window is located on the lower door, corresponding to the pressure gauge position of the fire extinguisher; The card box is located on the outer wall of the lower door.

[0009] Furthermore, the side of the upper door away from the lower door is hinged to the housing; the bottom edge of the lower door is hinged to the housing.

[0010] Furthermore, the lighting assembly includes a light strip and a power supply box installed on the inner side wall of the upper door. The power supply box is connected to the light strip by a wire. The light strip is equipped with a switch, which is located on the outer side wall of the upper door.

[0011] Furthermore, the transparent observation window includes an observation hole disposed on the side wall of the lower door, and a transparent plate is provided at the observation hole. The transparent plate is snapped or glued to the lower door; the transparent plate has the function of magnifying imaging.

[0012] Furthermore, the transparent plate is snapped into the lower door, which has multiple snap holes evenly distributed around the observation hole. The transparent plate has buckles corresponding to the snap holes on its edge, and the buckles are inserted into the corresponding snap holes.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of card boxes corresponds one-to-one with the number of fire extinguishers inside the box.

[0014] Furthermore, the card box is made of transparent material and has an opening on its side. Inside the card box is an identification card with the parameter information of the fire extinguisher marked on it.

[0015] Furthermore, the two opposite side walls of the box are provided with door stops, and when the lower door is closed, the eaves of the lower door fit against the door stops.

[0016] Furthermore, handles are provided on the exterior of the two opposite side walls of the box.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer wall of the box is coated with a red coating.

[0018] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The technical solution provided by this invention allows staff to directly observe the pressure gauge status of the fire extinguisher without opening the cabinet door by setting a transparent observation window in the lower door. Combined with the lighting components inside the upper door, staff can clearly see the pressure gauge indication without the need for external lighting tools, reducing the difficulty of pressure checks and saving inspection time. The card box in the lower door can intuitively display parameters such as the type, weight, manufacturing date, and expiration date of the fire extinguisher. Staff can quickly confirm the information and qualification status of the fire extinguisher without opening the fire extinguisher cabinet or taking out the fire extinguisher, avoiding cumbersome opening and retrieval operations and further improving management efficiency.

[0019] The multifunctional fire extinguisher box provided by this invention integrates multiple functions such as storage, lighting, pressure gauge observation, and card information display, solving the problem of the single function of existing fire extinguisher boxes. It has a simple structure, reasonable design, low manufacturing cost, and is easy to mass-produce and promote. It can effectively solve many defects of existing fire extinguisher boxes, improve the management efficiency and emergency use reliability of fire protection equipment, and provide protection for fire safety in industrial and mining enterprises.

They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0025] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they may refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they may refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they may refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] Example A multi-functional fire extinguisher box, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a housing 1, a door assembly, a lighting assembly, a transparent observation window 6, and a card box 7, with the following specific structure: The box 1 is a rectangular cavity with an open top and an internal compartment for holding fire extinguishers. The exterior of the box 1 is coated with a distinctive red paint for easy identification by staff. The box 1 is equipped with a handle 104 on the side for easy handling and movement.

[0027] The door assembly includes an upper door 101 and a lower door 102. One side of the upper door 101 is hinged to one side of the top of the box body 1, and the bottom edge of the lower door 102 is hinged to the middle of one side wall of the box body 1. When the upper door 101 is closed, the upper door 101 locks the lower door 102, thus sealing the box body 1. When the upper door 101 is lifted upward, the lower door 102 opens outward simultaneously.

[0028] The upper door 101 has an upper door roll-up 1011 on its inner side, and the lower door 102 has a lower door roll-up 1021 on its inner side. The top and sides of the sidewall of the box body 1 are also equipped with box body roll-up 105s. When the upper door 101 is closed, the upper door roll-up 1011 engages with the box body roll-up 105 and engages with the lower door roll-up 1021, thus limiting the closure of the box door. The design of the upper door roll-up 1011, lower door roll-up 1021, and box body roll-up 105 represents existing conventional technical methods.

[0029] Door stops 103 are fixed inside the two opposite side walls of the housing 1. When the upper and lower doors 102 are closed, the lower door roll 1021 of the lower door 102 fits against the door stop 103, thereby achieving the closed positioning of the lower door 102.

[0030] The lighting components are installed on the inner wall of the upper door 101, such as Figure 3As shown, the device includes a light strip 2, a switch 3, and a power supply box 4. The light strip 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the upper door 101 using adhesive or magnetic attachment. The power supply box 4 is also fixed to the inner wall of the upper door 101. The power supply box 4 contains two AA batteries (high-capacity rechargeable batteries can be selected). The power supply box 4 is fixed to the upper door 101 using adhesive or magnetic attachment. The light strip 2 and the power supply box 4 are connected by a wire 5. The switch 3 is installed on the outside of the upper door 101 and is a waterproof micro switch. The surface of the upper door 101 is kept flat. Pressing the switch 3 controls the opening and closing of the light strip 2, providing sufficient illumination for observing the pressure gauge. The light strip 2, the power supply box 4, and the wire 5 are kept at a certain distance from the upper door roll-up 1011 to prevent the box roll-up 105 and the lower door roll-up 1021 from squeezing the light strip 2, the power supply box 4, and the wire 5 when the upper door 101 is closed, ensuring smooth operation of the structure.

[0031] A transparent observation window 6 is located on the lower door 102, and a long, narrow observation hole 601 is provided corresponding to the position of the pressure gauge 901 of the fire extinguisher 9. Figure 4 As shown, six locking holes 603 are evenly distributed around the observation hole 601; a transparent plate 602 is installed at the observation hole 601. The transparent plate 602 is made of a material with good transparency and integrated magnifying glass function, which can magnify the pressure gauge indication of the fire extinguisher, making it convenient for staff to observe from the outside; Figure 5 As shown, the transparent plate 602 has 6 clips 604 around its edge, which correspond one-to-one with the clip holes 603 around the observation hole 601. The clips 604 can be inserted into the clip holes 603 from the outside of the lower door 102 to complete the fixation. As an alternative, the lower door 102 may not have clip holes, and the transparent plate 602 may not have clips. The transparent plate 602 can be directly fixed to the position of the observation hole 601 from the inside of the lower door 102 by adhesive.

[0032] Card boxes 7 are installed on the outside of the lower door 102, below the observation hole 601, and their number corresponds to the number of fire extinguishers 9 inside the box 1 (3 in this embodiment). Card boxes 7 are made of highly transparent plastic, and their upper, lower, and right (or left) sides are glued to the outer wall of the lower door 102, with a gap between them and the side wall of the lower door 102 to facilitate the insertion of identification cards 8. The insertion port 701 of card boxes 7 is oriented to the left (or right), and must not face upwards to prevent the identification cards 8 from falling off when the lower door 102 is opened and closed. The insertion port 701 has an arc-shaped notch to facilitate the insertion and removal of identification cards 8.

[0033] Card box 7 contains identification cards 8, such as Figure 6 As shown, the identification card 8 indicates the type, weight, manufacturing date, and expiration date of the fire extinguisher, which can be viewed by staff without opening the box. The identification card 8 serves as the fire extinguisher's identification card, and it is necessary to ensure that the fire extinguisher is returned to its original position. When replacing a fire extinguisher, the identification card 8 must be replaced at the same time. The content of the identification card 8 can be filled in according to the regulations of the user unit.

[0034] The working principle of this embodiment: When storing fire extinguishers, place the fire extinguisher 9 inside the box 1, fill in the manufacturing date, expiration date and other information on the identification card 8, and insert it into the card box 7.

[0035] During routine inspections, staff do not need to open the cabinet door. They can clearly observe the pressure gauge 901 of the fire extinguisher 9 through the transparent observation window 6 of the lower door 102 with its magnification function to determine whether the pressure is normal. If the light is dim, press the switch 3 on the outside of the upper door 101 to turn on the light strip 2 and provide sufficient lighting for observation. When checking the parameters and qualification status of the fire extinguisher, they can directly check the identification card 8 in the card box 7 to quickly obtain information such as the type of fire extinguisher and the expiration date without opening the cabinet or taking out the fire extinguisher.

[0036] The multifunctional fire extinguisher box provided by this invention has the following advantages: First, when checking the pressure of a fire extinguisher, staff can directly observe the pressure without opening the fire extinguisher box. In addition, the fire extinguisher box is equipped with a lighting component, eliminating the need for other lighting power sources. Furthermore, the transparent observation window has a magnification function, allowing observers to see the pressure indication of the fire extinguisher more clearly.

[0037] Second, the type and effective service life of the fire extinguisher can be identified by the identification card inside the card box. There is no need to open the fire extinguisher box or take the fire extinguisher out to check the cylinder. It is clear at a glance and greatly improves work efficiency.

[0038] Third, when a fire occurs on site, firefighters can quickly locate the required type of fire extinguisher, avoiding delays and improving firefighting efficiency.

[0039] 4. If a fire extinguisher is found to be substandard and needs to be replaced, the type and weight of the fire extinguisher can be identified through the card box. A replacement of the same type can be made without taking the fire extinguisher out to check.

[0040] The multifunctional fire extinguisher box provided by this invention has a simple structure, is easy to use, and has a low manufacturing cost. It integrates functions such as storage, lighting and observation, and information labeling, effectively improving the problems of traditional fire extinguisher boxes having single functions and inconvenient inspection. It is suitable for various scenarios such as industrial and mining enterprises and public places, and helps to improve the efficiency of fire equipment management and the reliability of emergency use.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
