DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present utility model, it is described in detail through specific embodiments below.
[0023] See also Figure 1The utility model provides a signal gate valve for fire fighting, comprising a gate valve body 1, a valve stem 2, a hand wheel 3, a driving gear 4, a signal output module 5, a No. 1 driven gear 6, a locking device 7 and a labor-saving device 8. The valve core inside the gate valve body 1 is connected with the valve stem 2, and the valve stem 2 extends from the top of the gate valve body 1. The hand wheel 3 is bolted on the top of the valve stem 2, and the driving gear 4 is sleeved and fixed on the outside of the valve stem 2. The signal output module 5 is screwed on the right side wall of the gate valve body 1. The No. 1 driven gear 6 is installed on the top shaft of the signal output module 5. The No. 1 driven gear 6 is meshed with the right part of the driving gear 4. When the valve stem 2 rotates, the No. 1 driven gear 6 is driven to rotate through the driving gear 4. The signal output module 5 detects the opening and closing state of the gate valve body 1. The locking device 7 is arranged on the left side wall of the gate valve body 1, and the labor-saving device 8 is arranged on the edge of the hand wheel 3.
[0024] See also Figure 2-4 The locking device 7 in the utility model includes a housing 71, a connecting shaft 72, a second driven gear 73, a telescopic lock 74, an annular groove 75 and a partition 76. The housing 71 is screwed on the left side wall of the gate valve body 1, and a connecting shaft 72 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the housing 71, and the connecting shaft 72 extends from the top of the housing 71. A second driven gear 73 is installed on the top of the connecting shaft 72, and the second driven gear 73 is meshed with the left part of the driving gear 4. A telescopic lock 74 is installed on the left side wall of the housing 71, and an annular groove 75 is provided on the surface of the connecting shaft 72. When the telescopic lock 74 is in a locked state, its lock tongue will be inserted into the inner side of the annular groove 75. A partition 76 is provided on the edge of the annular groove 75. After the lock tongue of the telescopic lock 74 is inserted into the annular groove 75, when the connecting shaft 72 attempts to rotate, the lock tongue will clamp the connecting shaft 72 through the partition 76 so that it cannot complete the rotation, thereby realizing the locking of the valve stem 2.
[0025] To further explain, when the telescopic lock 74 is in the unlocked state, the lock tongue thereof is completely separated from the inner side of the annular groove 75 , so that the connecting shaft 72 can completely resume free rotation without affecting the normal operation of the valve stem 2 .
[0026] Further explanation: the number of teeth of the second driven gear 73 is greater than that of the driving gear 4, so that the locking device 7 can lock the valve stem 2 in a smaller rotation range, thereby ensuring the locking effect.
[0027] See also Figure 5-6 The labor-saving device 8 in the utility model includes an extension arm 81 and a vertical handle 82. The extension arm 81 is hingedly installed on the edge of the hand wheel 3. The end of the extension arm 81 is rotatably installed with the vertical handle 82. The vertical handle 82 is perpendicular to the extension arm 81. The extension arm 81 can be used to control the rotation of the hand wheel 3. According to the principle of lever, the function of the extension arm 81 is to increase the length of the power arm in the lever, so that the rotation of the hand wheel 3 is more labor-saving.
[0028] It is further explained that the turning angle range of the extension arm 81 is not less than 180 degrees, so that the extension arm 81 can be turned outward and unfolded, and can also be turned inward and folded on the top of the hand wheel 3 to reduce the space occupied by the labor-saving device 8.
[0029] To further explain, horizontal handles 83 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the extension arm 81, and the horizontal handles 83 are parallel to the extension arm 81. When operating the extension arm 81, the user can choose to hold the vertical handle 82 or the horizontal handle 83 according to his own usage habits to operate more effectively.
[0030] Here’s how it works:
[0031] First, before use, the signal output module 5 is first connected to an external system so that firefighters can remotely understand the opening and closing status of the gate valve body 1 through the signal output module 5 .
[0032] Second, when in use, first use the key to unlock the telescopic lock 74 so that the lock tongue of the telescopic lock 74 is disengaged from the inner side of the annular groove 75, allowing the connecting shaft 72 to resume free rotation, so that the No. 2 driven gear 73 will not get stuck in the driving gear 4 to restrict the rotation of the valve stem 2, and the user can operate the handwheel 3 to control the gate valve body 1 to open and close. During this process, the valve stem 2 will drive the driving gear 4 to drive the No. 1 driven gear 6 to rotate through the driving gear 4, and the signal output module 5 detects the opening and closing status of the gate valve body 1, and sends the signal to the external system, so that the firefighters can understand the opening and closing status of the gate valve body 1 in time.
[0033] Third, when operating the handwheel 3, the extension arm 81 can be flipped outward and unfolded, and then the extension arm 81 can be used to control the rotation of the handwheel 3. According to the principle of lever, the function of the extension arm 81 is to increase the length of the power arm in the lever, so that the rotation of the handwheel 3 is more labor-saving. In addition, when operating the extension arm 81, the user can choose to hold the vertical handle 82 or the horizontal handle 83 according to his own usage habits, so as to operate and exert force more effectively.
[0034] Fourth, in order to prevent others from opening the gate valve body 1 and causing harm to people due to high-pressure water flow, the telescopic lock 74 can be locked with a key so that the lock tongue of the telescopic lock 74 is inserted into the inner side of the annular groove 75. When the connecting shaft 72 attempts to rotate, the lock tongue will jam the connecting shaft 72 through the partition 76 to prevent it from completing the rotation. In this way, the stagnant No. 2 driven gear 73 will jam the driving gear 4 to limit the rotation of the valve stem 2, thereby locking the valve stem 2 and preventing unauthorized personnel from arbitrarily opening the gate valve body 1.
[0035] The utility model provides a signal gate valve for fire fighting, wherein a locking device 7 is arranged on the left side wall of the gate valve body 1, and a telescopic lock 74 is locked by a key, so that the locking tongue of the telescopic lock 74 is inserted into the inner side of the annular groove 75, and when the connecting shaft 72 tries to rotate, the locking tongue will jam the connecting shaft 72 through the partition 76 so that it cannot complete the rotation, so that the stagnant No. 2 driven gear 73 will jam the driving gear 4 to limit the rotation of the valve stem 2, thereby locking the valve stem 2 and preventing irrelevant personnel from opening the gate valve body 1 at will, and a labor-saving device 8 is arranged on the edge of the hand wheel 3, and the extension arm 81 is turned outward and unfolded, and then the hand wheel 3 is controlled to rotate with the help of the extension arm 81. According to the principle of lever, the role of the extension arm 81 is to increase the length of the power arm in the lever, so that the rotation of the hand wheel 3 is more labor-saving.
