[0002] The fire protection system of a long downhill tunnel has a large difference in terrain between the inlet and outlet, which leads to uneven pressure in the fire protection pipe network. During the water replenishment process of the fire pump, the pressure at the beginning of the tunnel fire protection pipe is relatively small, while the pressure at the end is too large. This will result in slow water supply at the beginning of the fire protection pipe and easy pipe burst at the end, posing certain safety hazards. The current solution is to install a pressure reducing valve in the pipeline to balance the pipeline pressure. However, due to the water hammer effect when the valve is closed, that is, due to the inertia of the liquid, the liquid will generate an instantaneous impact force when the valve is closed, which can easily cause damage to the diaphragm in the pressure reducing valve and reduce the service life of the pressure reducing valve.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] The fire-fighting system of a long downhill tunnel has a large difference in terrain between the inlet and the outlet, which leads to uneven pressure in the fire-fighting pipe network. Some tunnel water fire-fighting systems are self-contained closed-loop control systems. During normal operation, the pressure-stabilizing pump replenishes water and stabilizes the pressure to keep the pipe network system in a stable pressure state. Once a fire occurs, the pipeline system is short of water, causing the pressure of the pipe network to drop. When the pressure drops to the starting pressure of the fire pump, the fire pump is started immediately, and the pressure-stabilizing pump stops working until the fire is extinguished. The fire pump stops working and is manually restored to the initial state. In some long downhill tunnels, the height difference from the tunnel inlet to the tunnel outlet reaches 74.4 meters and 79.52 meters. According to the calculation of 1m water column = 0.01MPa, the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the water fire-fighting system of the above two tunnels reaches 0.744MPa and 0.795MPa.

[0023] Embodiment 1:

[0024] Based on the technical defects of the prior art that the diaphragm of the pressure reducing valve 3 is easily damaged due to the water hammer effect, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model provides an intelligent pressure regulating system for fire protection pipelines in long downhill tunnels on highways. The flow-blocking block 64 can form a flow-blocking effect on the liquid, thereby preventing the water hammer effect from impacting and damaging the diaphragm of the pressure reducing valve 3, and improving the service life of the pressure reducing valve 3. The utility model has an upper water inlet pipe 1 and a lower water outlet pipe 8 connected in the fire protection pipeline. One end of the upper water inlet pipe 1 is connected with a Y-type filter 2 through a flange, and a pressure reducing valve 3 is arranged on one side of the Y-type filter 2. A flow-blocking pipe 5 is arranged on one side of the pressure reducing valve 3. A flow-blocking component 6 for preventing the diaphragm from being damaged by the water hammer effect is fixed in the flow-blocking pipe 5. A gate valve 7 is connected to one end of the flow-blocking pipe 5 through a flange, and the gate valve 7 is connected to one end of the lower water outlet pipe 8 through a flange. The liquid enters from the upper water inlet pipe 1, and impurities in the water are filtered out by the Y-type filter 2. Then, the pressure at the end of the pipe network is reduced by the pressure reducing valve 3, and then the liquid enters the gate valve 7 after passing through the flow-blocking pipe 5, and then flows out through the lower water outlet pipe 8 after passing through the gate valve 7.

[0025] To avoid water hammer effect when the gate valve 7 is closed, which may damage the diaphragm on the pressure reducing valve 3, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The choke assembly 6 includes a fixed ring 61 fixed in the choke tube 5, a fixed plate 62 is fixed on the side wall of the fixed ring 61, the fixed plate 62 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod 63, the other end of the guide rod 63 passes through the fixed ring 61 and is fixedly provided with a limit block 65, and a choke block 64 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod 63. When the gate valve 7 is closed, the liquid will generate an instantaneous impact force, and the impact force enters the choke tube 5 along the refluxed liquid, thereby driving the choke block 64 to move. After one end of the choke block 64 is in contact with the fixed ring 61, a choke effect on the liquid can be formed, thereby preventing the diaphragm of the pressure reducing valve 3 from being damaged by the impact of the liquid.

[0026] In order to facilitate cleaning of filtered impurities inside the Y-type filter 2, a cleaning port with an end cover 21 is provided at the bottom of the Y-type filter 2. After opening the end cover 21, the impurities can be taken out along the cleaning port, which is convenient for cleaning.

[0027] In order to facilitate the monitoring of the pipeline network pressure value, two pressure gauges 4 are connected at both ends of the pressure reducing valve 3 through flanges. The two pressure gauges 4 are respectively connected between the Y-type filter 2 and the pressure reducing valve 3 and between the pressure reducing valve 3 and the choke tube 5 through flanges. By setting up two pressure gauges 4, the pressure difference before and after the pressure reducing valve 3 can be monitored in real time, which helps the operator understand the working status of the system. By comparing the pressure difference before and after, it can be determined whether the pressure reducing valve 3 is working normally and whether it needs maintenance or replacement.

[0028] In order to facilitate the baffle block 64 to achieve a better flow-guiding effect, an inner conical surface 611 is provided on the inner side of the fixing ring 61, and an outer conical surface 641 that matches the inner conical surface 611 is provided on one side of the baffle block 64. When water is discharged normally, the liquid can flow along the outer conical surface 641 of the baffle block 64 after passing through the fixing ring 61, thereby reducing the resistance to normal water discharge and avoiding the problem of unsmooth water discharge.

[0029] In order to facilitate the normal discharge of water, a plurality of guide holes 642 distributed in an annular shape are opened on the baffle block 64 , and water can flow out of the baffle block 64 through the guide holes 642 .

[0030] Embodiment 2:

[0031] In actual use, in order to facilitate online real-time monitoring of the pressure status of the pipeline network, please refer to Figure 4 On the basis of the first embodiment, it also includes a communication base station 9 connected to the two pressure gauges 4 by signal, the communication base station 9 is connected to the server terminal 10 by signal, the server terminal 10 is connected to the monitoring platform 11 by signal, the pressure gauge 4 monitors the pressure data and then uploads it to the server terminal 10 through the communication base station 9, the monitoring personnel remotely access the server terminal 10 through the monitoring platform 11 to obtain the pipe network pressure data, thereby achieving the purpose of remote online supervision.

[0032] It can be seen from the above embodiments that when the gate valve 7 is opened, the liquid enters from the upper water inlet pipe 1, and the impurities in the water are filtered out by the Y-type filter 2, and then the pressure at the end of the pipe network is reduced by the pressure reducing valve 3, and then the liquid enters the gate valve 7 after passing through the choke tube 5, and flows out through the lower water outlet pipe 8 after passing through the gate valve 7. When the gate valve 7 is closed, the liquid will generate an instantaneous impact force, and the impact force enters the choke tube 5 along the refluxed liquid, thereby driving the choke block 64 to move. After one end of the choke block 64 is fitted with the fixing ring 61, a choke effect on the liquid can be formed, thereby preventing the diaphragm of the pressure reducing valve 3 from being damaged by the impact of the liquid.
