[0025] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model. Embodiment 1

[0026] A fire hose joint, as Figures 1-5 shown, includes a fixing component. The fixing component includes a connector 1. An opening is provided in the center of the connector 1. A quick - connector 4 is installed at one end of the connector 1. The quick - connector 4 is provided with a connecting groove, and a clamping block is provided on one side of the quick - connector 4. A connecting flange 13 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the connector 1 by welding. A limit frame 12 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the connecting flange 13 by welding. The limit frame 12 is provided with threaded holes 17, and multiple groups of threaded holes 17 are arranged in sequence. A threaded rod 11 is detachably installed through the threaded holes 17. The threaded rod 11 is adapted to the threaded holes 17. One end of the threaded rod 11 is fixedly arranged with a turning handle 15 by welding. A switch component for controlling the switch of the water supply is provided on one side of the connector 1;

[0027] During use, the quick connector 4 at one end of the connecting head 1 can be quickly connected to the fire hose. The fire hose is also provided with a quick connector 4 at one end. Align the two groups of quick connectors 4, insert the clamping block into the connecting groove and rotate to complete the connection between the fire hose and the connecting head 1. It can be quickly installed and disassembled. Align the connecting flange 13 with the connecting flange of the fire hydrant or water supply vehicle and fix it to complete the connection. After connection, the limiting frame 12 can wrap the connecting flange of the fire hydrant or water supply vehicle. The connecting flange of the fire hydrant or water supply vehicle is provided with an opening according to the position of the threaded hole 17. After wrapping it with the limiting frame 12, the opening provided is aligned with the threaded hole 17. Insert the threaded rod 11 through the threaded hole 17, and control the rotation of the threaded rod 11 by the turning handle 15 to make it snap into the provided opening, thereby completing the fixation of the connection point. It can be limited and fixed after the connecting head 1 is installed to prevent the connection point from falling off when the hose is quickly dragged or the water pressure is too high, affecting the normal water supply;

[0028] The switch assembly includes a support frame 5. The support frame 5 is fixed to the outer wall of the top of the connecting head 1 by bolts. A control motor 6 is fixed to the outer wall of the top of the support frame 5 by bolts. The bottom of the control motor 6 is connected to a valve rod 10.

[0033] During use, by holding the anti-slip sleeve 9 with anti-slip lines, the handwheel 7 can be controlled to rotate for manual control, which can increase the friction when contacting the hand, thereby preventing the situation of slipping during control;

[0034] To prevent water leakage during water transmission, as Figure 3 、4 As shown, the connecting flange 13 is provided with an installation groove 16, and a gasket 14 is installed through the installation groove 16. The gasket 14 is made of rubber material;

[0035] When in use, when connecting and fixing through the connecting flange 13, the gasket 14 made of rubber material is used to reinforce the connection part, making the fixation more firm and filling the gap at the connection part at the same time, avoiding water leakage through the gap;

[0036] In order to be closed when not in use, as Figure 1 、 2 shown, the outer wall of the quick connector 4 is provided with threads, and a sealing cover 3 is arranged on one side of the quick connector 4. The sealing cover 3 is adapted to the threads of the quick connector 4;

[0037] When in use, the sealing cover 3 can be installed on the quick connector 4 by rotation, and the quick connector 4 can be closed when it is not connected to the fire hose, thus preventing foreign objects from entering the connector 1 through the quick connector 4 and causing blockage to affect normal use;

[0038] In order to facilitate the installation and removal of the sealing cover 3, as Figure 5 shown, a pull ring 19 is fixedly arranged on one side of the sealing cover 3 by welding;

[0039] When in use, holding the pull ring 19 can conveniently control the rotation of the sealing cover 3, making it more convenient to exert force and avoiding slipping during installation or disassembly, thus making the installation and disassembly more convenient. Embodiment 2
