Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] The utility model aims to provide an intelligent monitoring device for fire hydrants to solve the problems existing in the prior art. A push-type switch is used as a monitoring device, which abuts against a stable valve body, has good monitoring effect and low cost.

[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a fire hydrant intelligent monitoring device is provided, including a push switch 8 and a wireless transmission module. The push switch 8 is located on the movement path of the tool when the fire hydrant valve 11 is opened, such as the top of the fire hydrant valve 11, in order to prevent the fire hydrant valve 11 from opening normally. The wireless transmission module is used to transmit the on-off state of the push switch 8 to the monitoring terminal. The push switch 8 includes a fixed end and a pressing end that is kept in an energized state by applying pressure and has a self-recovery ability. The pressing end of the push switch 8 abuts against the fire hydrant valve 11 in an energized state. The fixed end of the push switch 8 is detachably connected to the fire hydrant through a connecting piece. The connecting piece can be a lead seal 13, a cable tie, a rope, etc. A plurality of connecting holes can be opened at the fixed end of the push switch 8. The position of the connecting hole is higher than the hole of the annular protective member 12 around the valve 11. The lead seal 13, the cable tie, the rope, etc. are used to pass through the valve in sequence. The holes and connecting holes of the annular protective member 12 around the door 11 are fixed. When disassembling, the lead seal 13, cable tie and rope can be directly cut. The wireless transmission module is electrically connected to the push switch 8, and the connecting member is used to keep the pressing end of the push switch 8 against the valve 11 of the fire hydrant. The push switch 8 is in the on state. When water is taken illegally, the connecting member needs to be removed and the push switch 8 is removed. At this time, the push switch 8 loses its holding force and bounces open in the disconnected state. The wireless transmission module transmits the information that the push switch 8 is disconnected to the monitoring terminal. The staff can know that the fire hydrant has been illegally operated. By calling the monitoring of the relevant position, the illegal operator can be checked to realize the monitoring of the fire hydrant. By abutting the push switch 8 against a stable valve body, compared with measuring the water pressure, the false alarm can be effectively reduced, and the monitoring effect is improved. At the same time, the push switch 8 is low in cost, which reduces the investment cost.

[0032] The wireless transmission module includes a main board 6, a flow card 5 and a transmission antenna 4. The push switch 8, the flow card 5 and the transmission antenna 4 are all electrically connected to the main board 6. The flow card 5 provides networking capabilities for the wireless transmission module. The main board 6 is used to obtain the on / off information of the push switch 8, and the transmission antenna 4 is used to send signals.

[0033] The main board 6 is horizontally arranged on the top of the fire hydrant. A level sensor 3 for detecting the horizontality is electrically connected to the main board 6. The level sensor 3 can provide secondary protection for monitoring. The monitoring terminal receives the horizontal information of the level sensor 3 in real time through the wireless transmission module. When the main board 6 where the level sensor 3 is located tilts and exceeds a certain angle (for example, exceeds 40°, which is set independently by the monitoring terminal), the monitoring terminal alarms to remind the staff, thereby further improving the monitoring effect.

[0034] The fire hydrant intelligent monitoring device also includes a tray 9, a groove for fixing the fixed end of the push-type switch 8 is arranged in the middle of the tray 9, and a notch for the pushing end of the push-type switch 8 to extend out is opened at the bottom of the groove. The specific structure is: a cylindrical protrusion is arranged in the middle of the lower surface of the tray 9, and the groove is arranged corresponding to the cylindrical protrusion. The notch of the groove is arranged on the upper surface of the tray 9, and the notch for the pushing end of the push-type switch 8 to extend out is located at the bottom of the protrusion, and the fixed end of the push-type switch 8 is glued in the groove; the main board 6 of the wireless transmission module is arranged on the top of the tray 9 by bolts, and a power supply 7 for power supply is also arranged on the top of the tray 9.
