[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the implementation of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model is described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. The described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the utility model, and should not be understood as limitations on the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model. The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings:

[0022] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the anti-collision outdoor fire hydrant provided by the utility model is shown. The anti-collision outdoor fire hydrant comprises a flange elbow 1, a valve body 6 and a bolt body 7 which are sealed and connected in sequence from bottom to top. The flange elbow 1 and the valve body 6, the valve body 6 and the bolt body 7 are sealed and connected through fasteners, and the three form a closed cavity. The water inlet end of the flange elbow 1 is connected to the municipal pipe network, the bolt body 7 is provided with a water outlet, and a water outlet joint can be provided for connecting with a fire hose.

[0023] like Figure 2As shown, a base spring 2 is provided at the lower part of the valve body 6, and the base spring 2 includes a base and a spring which may or may not be connected to the base and stands on the base at one end. In order to maintain the stability of the spring, a large-size spring is selected as far as possible without affecting its compression. The base spring 2 may also be provided with a column fixed on the base and used to sleeve the spring, and the column has an appropriate height which does not affect the compression of the spring. The base of the base spring 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the valve body 6, and one end of the spring of the base spring 2 abuts against the base, and the other end abuts against the side wall protrusion of the lower part of the valve body 6 through a sealing component to block water inlet. The other end of the spring of the base spring 2 may or may not be connected to the sealing component. In order to ensure water inlet, the base of the base spring 2 may be a through-hole setting, with a through hole, and its periphery is connected to the bottom end of the valve body 6. At this time, if a column is provided, it is also through-hole.

[0024] In one embodiment, the side wall protrusion provided in the inner cavity of the valve body 6 is annular, which divides the inner cavity of the valve body 6 into two upper and lower chambers. The lower chamber is provided with a base spring 2 and a sealing assembly. The base spring 2 is in a compressed state, with one end abutting against the base and the other end abutting against the sealing assembly. The sealing assembly abuts against the annular side wall protrusion under the action of the spring to block the water entering from the flange elbow 1. At this time, the size of the sealing assembly is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the annular side wall protrusion.

[0025] In another embodiment, the base spring 2 does not have a base, but is a separate spring. A side wall protrusion is provided in the lower middle part of the inner cavity of the valve body 6 in the shape of an annular shape, which divides the inner cavity of the valve body 6 into two upper and lower chambers. A lower end side wall protrusion in the shape of an annular shape is also provided at the lower end of the inner cavity of the valve body 6, that is, a base replacing the base spring. A spring and a sealing assembly are provided in the lower chamber, and the spring is in a compressed state, with one end abutting against the lower end side wall protrusion and the other end abutting against the sealing assembly. The sealing assembly abuts against the side wall protrusion under the action of the spring, thereby blocking the water entering from the flange elbow 1. At this time, the diameter of the sealing assembly is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the side wall protrusion, and the diameter of the spring is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the lower end side wall protrusion.

[0026] In one embodiment, the sealing assembly includes a plugging member 3 and a sealing member 4, the plugging member 3 is connected to the spring of the base spring 2, and the sealing member 4 is disposed between the plugging member 3 and the side wall protrusion at the bottom of the valve body 6 for sealing. The diameter of the sealing assembly is larger than the inner diameter of the side wall protrusion and smaller than the inner diameter of the valve body 6. Preferably, the sealing member 4 is connected to the plugging member 3, and the connection method can be adhesive or groove fixing. The plugging member 3 includes a plugging portion for blocking water inflow, which has a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the side wall protrusion and smaller than the inner cavity of the valve body 6, a pillar extending downward from the plugging portion and having a diameter smaller than the plugging portion and can be used to sleeve the spring, and a guide column extending upward from the plugging portion and having a diameter smaller than the side wall protrusion. Among them, the spring can be sleeved on the pillar and stop at the bottom surface of the plugging portion at the same time, and the guide column has a guide groove slightly larger than the diameter of the transmission rod 5, and one end of the transmission rod 5 can extend into it.

[0027] A connecting sleeve 9, a transmission rod 5 and a valve stem 11 are arranged in the bolt body 7. The connecting sleeve 9 is arranged on the upper part of the bolt body 7, one end of the transmission rod 5 passes through the connecting sleeve 9 and is plugged into one end of the valve stem 11, the other end of the valve stem 11 extends out of the top of the bolt body 7, and one end of the transmission rod 5 extends into the valve body 6 and points to the sealing component. Waterproof treatment is performed between the bolt body 7 and the valve stem 11. A reset spring 8 is arranged in the connecting sleeve 9, and the reset spring 8 is sleeved on the transmission rod 5, one end of which abuts against the bottom end of the connecting sleeve 9, and the other end abuts against the outer wall protrusion of the transmission rod 5. The reset spring 8 always keeps a compressed state, so that the transmission rod 5 has an upward force. Under the action of the upward force, one end of the transmission rod 5 remains inserted into one end of the valve stem 11 and abuts therein. When the valve stem 11 moves up and down, the transmission rod 5 can move up and down with it, thereby pushing or disengaging from the sealing component to control the water inlet switch. Specifically, when the fire hydrant needs to be opened, the valve stem 11 moves downward, driving the transmission rod 5 to move downward, pushing the sealing assembly to control the water inlet to open; when the fire hydrant needs to be closed, the valve stem 11 moves upward and the transmission rod 5 moves upward under the action of the return spring 8, disengaging from the sealing assembly, and the sealing assembly stops at the side wall protrusion at the lower part of the valve body 6 under the action of the base spring 2 to control the water inlet to close.

[0028] The anti-collision outdoor fire hydrant also includes a cap 12 connected to the bolt body 7, and electrical components can be arranged between the bolt body 7 and the cap 12, which are waterproofed. In one embodiment, the cap 12 is buckled on the bolt body 7, and the cap 12 is removed when the fire hydrant needs to be opened. In another embodiment, the other end of the valve stem 11 simultaneously extends out of the top of the cap 12, and the cap 12 does not need to be removed when the fire hydrant needs to be opened. Waterproof treatment is performed between the cap 12 and the valve stem 11.

[0029] Furthermore, a nut 10 is fixedly provided at the top of the bolt body 7, and the valve stem 11 has an external thread, which is threadedly matched with the nut 10, sleeved on the nut 10, and extends out of the top of the bolt body 7. When the fire hydrant needs to be opened, the extended part of the valve stem 11 is rotated, and the external thread of the valve stem 11 and the nut 10 act to make it move downward, drive the transmission rod 5 to move downward, and push the sealing assembly to move downward and separate from the side wall protrusion at the bottom of the valve body 6, so as to open the water inlet; when the fire hydrant needs to be closed, the extended part of the valve stem 11 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the external thread of the valve stem 11 and the nut 10 act to move it upward, and the transmission rod 5 moves upward under the action of the reset spring 8, and the sealing assembly moves upward under the action of the base spring 2 until the transmission rod 5 is separated from the sealing assembly, and the sealing assembly stops at the side wall protrusion at the bottom of the valve body 6 under the action of the base spring and the water inlet, and the water inlet is closed.
