Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of waterproof belts, in particular to a water leakage detection device which can bend a fire hose. Background Art

[0002] Fire hoses, commonly known as fire hoses, are indispensable equipment in firefighting operations and are used to deliver large amounts of water or extinguishing agents directly to the source of the fire. These hoses must be able to withstand high pressures under extreme conditions while remaining flexible and durable in a changing environment. To ensure safety and functionality, newly produced fire hoses undergo rigorous quality testing before leaving the factory.

[0003] In the traditional testing process, fire hoses are usually pressure tested under static conditions to check whether they can withstand the specified working pressure. However, this method mainly focuses on testing the performance of the hose in a static, unbent state, and cannot fully simulate the various situations that the hose may encounter in actual use, especially the performance after bending or twisting. In addition, traditional tests often cannot effectively identify small damage or tiny holes that may appear in the hose in dynamic applications. These holes may cause the hose performance to deteriorate or suddenly fail in actual operation. Utility Model Content
