Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of underground fire hydrants, in particular to an underground fire hydrant. Background Art

[0002] Fire hydrants, also known as fire hydrants, are an important fixed fire-fighting facility. As a component of the fire water system, fire hydrants can provide necessary fire-fighting water when a fire occurs, which helps firefighters to effectively extinguish the fire. Buried fire hydrants are an outdoor underground fire-fighting water supply facility used to supply water to fire trucks or directly connect to water hoses and water guns for fire extinguishing. They are special facilities for outdoor essential fire-fighting water supply. They are installed underground and do not affect the city appearance and traffic. When firefighters need to use water to extinguish the fire, they find the nearest underground fire hydrant, open the end cover, remove the hydrant cover, install the fire water pipe and open the water valve to transport the fire water to the fire scene. There are some problems. Traditional buried fire hydrants are mostly located in underground fire wells. When fire hydrants are needed in emergencies such as fires, it is not convenient to quickly remove the hydrant cover and install the fire water pipe. The fire water pipe will be placed on the edge of the well when it is led upward from the well. The friction with the well edge for a long time will greatly reduce the service life of the fire water pipe. For this reason, we propose an underground fire hydrant. Utility Model Content

The left and right sides of the mounting block also contact the stabilizing block at the same time, and the two stabilizing blocks are squeezed and slide outward. Spring 1 is compressed under force. After the left and right sides of the mounting block pass the stabilizing block, spring 1 rebounds without force, and the stabilizing block returns to its original position, forming an auxiliary stabilizing effect on the mounting block, which facilitates and quickly removes the bolt cover and installs the fire water pipe, while also avoiding the friction between the fire water pipe and the well edge, which reduces the service life of the water pipe. When retracting the bolt body, the operator slightly lifts the bolt upward with one hand The left and right sides of the mounting block also contact the stabilizing block at the same time again, and the two stabilizing blocks are squeezed and slide outward, and the spring one is compressed under force until the left and right sides of the mounting block pass through the stabilizing block, and the spring one rebounds without force, and the stabilizing block returns to its original position, which increases the friction for the retraction of the bolt body and prevents the bolt body from falling quickly and damaging the bolt body, until the bottom end of the mounting block contacts the top plate, and the weight of the bolt body quickly presses down the top plate, and the sliding column slides downward at the same time, and the buffer spring is compressed again. At this time, the elastic deformation of the buffer spring absorbs the impact force when the bolt body falls, effectively preventing damage to the bolt body. Then close the end cover, and the retraction of the bolt body is completed, which does not affect the city appearance and traffic and is very convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

It also has a buffer effect when it is retracted and will not damage the tether body. It also has a buffer effect when it is retracted and will not damage the tether body.

[0025] The working principle of an underground fire hydrant provided by the utility model is as follows: when the underground fire hydrant needs to be used, the operator first opens the end cover 2, then grabs the edge of the bolt body 4, pulls the bolt body 4, the mounting block 3 and the water inlet 6 upward, and the bottom end of the mounting block 3 leaves the upper end of the top plate 84, and the buffer spring 85 is not expanded without force, and moves upward with the top plate 84 and the sliding column 83 until the buffer spring 85 reaches the elastic limit, which is convenient for the operator to pull out the bolt body. As the mounting block 3 moves upward, the upper surface of the rear side of the mounting block 3 contacts the locking block 75, and the locking block 75 is squeezed and slowly slides backward, and the spring 2 76 is compressed by force until the rear side of the mounting block 3 is completely passed. When the locking block 75 and the spring 2 76 are not forced to rebound, the locking block 75 returns to its original position, and the upper end of the locking block 75 is in contact with the rear bottom end of the mounting block 3 to limit the mounting block 3. At the same time, the left and right sides of the mounting block 3 also contact the stabilizing block 72 at the same time. The two stabilizing blocks 72 are squeezed and slide outward, and the spring 1 73 is compressed by the force until the left and right sides of the mounting block 3 pass the stabilizing block 72. The spring 1 73 rebounds without force, and the stabilizing block 72 returns to its original position, forming an auxiliary stabilizing effect on the mounting block 3. At this time, the bolt body 4 is completely pulled out of the prefabricated box 1, which is convenient for quick removal of the bolt cover 4 and installation of the fire water pipe, while also avoiding friction between the fire water pipe and the well edge to cause the water pipe to rub The service life of the fire hydrant is reduced, and the spilled water will quickly enter the drainage groove in the middle of the bottom of the prefabricated box 1 along the inclined bottom wall, effectively preventing water accumulation. When the fire hydrant is used, it is necessary to retract the fire hydrant, remove the fire water pipe, install the hydrant cover 5, and then the operator slightly lifts the hydrant body 4 upward with one hand, and the rear bottom end of the mounting block 3 leaves the upper end of the locking block 75 to prevent the locking block 75 from being pressed and unable to move. The sliding handle 77 is quickly pushed backward with one hand, and the sliding handle 77 moves backward with the locking block 75, and the spring 2 76 is compressed. At this time, the rear side of the mounting block 3 is not restricted, and the hydrant body 4 slides downward by its own weight. At the same time, the left and right sides of the mounting block 3 also contact the stabilizing block 72 again at the same time, and the two stabilizing blocks 72 are The fixed block 72 is squeezed and slides outward, and the spring 1 73 is compressed under the force until the left and right sides of the mounting block 3 pass the stabilizing block 72. The spring 1 73 rebounds without force, and the stabilizing block 72 returns to its original position, increasing the friction for the retraction of the bolt body 4 to prevent the bolt body 4 from falling rapidly and damaging the bolt body, until the bottom end of the mounting block 3 contacts the top plate 84. The weight of the bolt body quickly presses down the top plate 84, and the sliding column 83 slides downward at the same time, and the buffer spring 85 is compressed again. At this time, the elastic deformation of the buffer spring 85 absorbs the impact force when the bolt body falls, effectively preventing damage to the bolt body. Then the end cover 2 is closed, and the retraction of the bolt body is completed. It does not affect the city appearance and traffic, and is very convenient.
