[0024] See also Figure 3In order to avoid the interruption of firefighting operations due to the water running out in the water tank, the water replenishment mechanism 4 in this embodiment includes a water replenishment pipe 401, which is fixed to the upper surface of the water tank body 1, and the top of the water replenishment pipe 401 is connected to the spare water tank 402, and the bottom end of the water replenishment pipe 401 passes through and extends to the inside of the water tank body 1, and a spring 403 is fixed to the upper surface of the floating plate 3, and a baffle 404 is fixed to the other end of the spring 403. When the water level continues to drop, the baffle 404 will be removed from the water replenishment pipe 401. At this time, the spare water source in the spare water tank 402 is passed into the water tank body 1 from the water replenishment pipe 401 to replenish the water tank body 1. A sealing gasket 405 is fixed to the upper surface of the baffle 404 to improve the sealing effect of the water replenishment pipe 401 A guide rod 406 is fixed to the lower surface of the baffle 404, and the other end of the guide rod 406 passes through and extends to the lower side of the float plate 3, and is slidably connected to the inner side of the float plate 3. After the staff adds water to the inside of the water tank body 1, the water level moves up and drives the float plate 3 to move up, and the float plate 3 drives the spring 403 to move. When the baffle 404 moves to the water supply pipe 401, the float plate 3 continues to move up to squeeze the spring 403, so that the elastic force of the spring 403 is applied to the baffle 404, so that the water supply pipe 401 is closed more tightly, and the guide rod 406 can keep the relative position between the baffle 404 and the float plate 3 stable, and the upper surface of the water tank body 1 is connected to a water injection pipe, and the outer side of the water injection pipe is threadedly connected to a pipe cover, and a monitoring component is provided on the float plate 3.

[0025] In this example, the outer diameter of the baffle 404 is larger than the outer diameter of the sealing gasket 405 , and the outer diameter of the sealing gasket 405 is larger than the inner diameter of the water supply pipe 401 , which can effectively seal the water supply pipe 401 and prevent water leakage inside the spare water tank 402 .

When the distance measuring sensor 409 detects that the distance is less than the specified value, that is, the water level is at the warning critical value, the distance measuring sensor 409 alarms. An opening is provided on the upper surface of the water tank body 1. The length and width of the opening are respectively matched with the length and width of the water level plate 407 to reduce the entry of external impurities into the water tank body 1. The length and width of the limit plate 408 are respectively larger than the length and width of the opening. After the water level plate 407 is completely moved into the water tank body 1, the opening can be closed.

[0027] See also Figure 4 In order to facilitate maintenance of the inside of the water tank and prevent impurities from clogging the pipeline, the cleaning mechanism 5 in this embodiment includes an electric push rod 501, which is fixed to the lower surface of the water tank body 1. The output shaft of the electric push rod 501 is fixed with a connecting rod 502. The output shaft of the electric push rod 501 drives the connecting rod 502 to move. The other end of the connecting rod 502 penetrates and extends to the inside of the water tank body 1 and is fixed with a push plate 503. The connecting rod 502 drives the push plate 503 to move. The four side walls of the floating plate 3 are all fixed with bristles 504. The side of each brush 504 away from the floating plate 3 is in contact with the inner walls of the four sides of the water tank body 1. The push plate 503 drives the floating plate 3 to move, and the floating plate 3 drives the brush 504 to move. The brush 504 cleans the inner wall of the water tank body 1, so that the impurities on the inner wall of the water tank body 1 are cleaned off. An installation port 505 is provided on the upper surface of the floating plate 3, and a filter screen 506 is fixed on the inner side of the installation port 505. The filter screen 506 can filter the large volume of impurities cleaned off to prevent the impurities from entering the water outlet pipe 6 and clogging the water outlet pipe 6.

[0028] In this example, there are two electric push rods 501 , which are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the water tank body 1 , so that the push float 3 remains stable when moving.

[0029] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0030] (1) When carrying out fire fighting operations, the water inside the water tank body 1 can be used through the water outlet pipe 6. During the use of the water tank body 1, the water level will drop. The drop in water level drives the floating plate 3 to move, the floating plate 3 drives the water level plate 407 to move, the water level plate 407 drives the limit plate 408 to move, and the limit plate 408 drives the distance sensor 409 to move. The distance sensor 409 monitors the distance between the upper surface of the water tank body 1 and the upper surface of the water tank body 1. This distance is the water level height inside the water tank body 1. When the distance sensor 409 detects that the distance is less than the specified value, that is, the water level is at the warning critical value, the distance sensor 409 alarms. When the water level continues to drop, the baffle 404 will be removed from the water supply pipe 401. At this time, the backup water source inside the backup water tank 402 is passed into the water tank body 1 from the water supply pipe 401 to replenish the water tank body 1.

[0031] (2) During the water replenishment process, the water level inside the water tank body 1 will reach the critical value again. The baffle 404 drives the sealing gasket 405 to close the water replenishment pipe 401, so that the water level inside the water tank body 1 is always near the warning critical value, providing time for the staff who add water so that the firefighting work will not be interrupted. After the staff adds water to the inside of the water tank body 1, the water level moves up and drives the floating plate 3 to move up. The floating plate 3 drives the spring 403 to move. When the baffle 404 moves to the water replenishment pipe 401, the floating plate 3 continues to move up to squeeze the spring 403, so that the elastic force of the spring 403 is applied On the baffle 404, the water supply pipe 401 is closed more tightly. When maintaining the inside of the water tank body 1, the electric push rod 501 is opened, and the output shaft of the electric push rod 501 drives the connecting rod 502 to move, the connecting rod 502 drives the push plate 503 to move, the push plate 503 drives the floating plate 3 to move, the floating plate 3 drives the brush 504 to move, and the brush 504 cleans the inner wall of the water tank body 1 to clean up the impurities on the inner wall of the water tank body 1. The filter net 506 can filter the large volume of impurities cleaned up to prevent the impurities from entering the water outlet pipe 6 and clogging the water outlet pipe 6.
