[0002] A fire hydrant is a fixed fire-fighting facility, and its main functions are to control combustibles, isolate combustion-supporting substances, and eliminate ignition sources. Fire hydrants are mainly divided into indoor fire hydrants and outdoor fire hydrants. Among them, the outdoor fire hydrant is a water supply facility installed on the outdoor fire water supply pipe network of a building. It is mainly used for fire trucks to draw water from the municipal water supply pipe network or the outdoor fire water supply pipe network to implement fire fighting, and can also be directly connected to a water hose and a water gun to spray water for fire fighting. It is one of the important fire-fighting facilities for extinguishing fires.
[0003] The valve stem nut is a nut fixed to the valve stem of the outdoor fire hydrant, which plays a role in keeping the position of the valve stem unchanged and ensuring the normal operation of the outdoor fire hydrant. By rotating the nut, the fire hydrant valve can be opened or closed to control the on-off of the water flow. The existing key for opening the fire hydrant is mainly a wrench. However, the size of the existing wrench is usually fixed and can only be used for the valve stem nut of a fixed specification of the fire hydrant. The sizes of the valve stem nuts on outdoor fire hydrants vary due to different manufacturers and models. Therefore, the existing fire hydrant wrench cannot be adjusted, has a small application range, and its practicability is not strong enough. Content of the Utility Model

[0018] 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.
[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the embodiment of the present utility model, an adjustable fire hydrant key includes a housing 1, a first clamping block 4 and a second clamping block 5. A fixed block 2 is installed inside the housing 1. A groove 13 is formed in the middle of the fixed block 2. A bidirectional lead screw 3 is arranged in the groove 13. Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 3 are rotatably connected to bearings 7 installed on the housing 1. The first clamping block 4 and the second clamping block 5 are symmetrically arranged on the bidirectional lead screw 3. V-shaped clamping grooves 10 are formed on the opposite end faces of the first clamping block 4 and the second clamping block 5. The design of the V-shaped clamping grooves 10 can better adapt to the shape of the fire hydrant valve stem nut, avoiding slipping during the process of turning the fire hydrant key. Screw nuts 8 threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 3 are embedded in both the first clamping block 4 and the second clamping block 5. An adjusting wheel 9 is installed in the middle of the bidirectional lead screw 3. The surface of the adjusting wheel 9 is provided with an anti-slip structure. Such a design can increase the surface friction of the adjusting wheel 9, facilitating the exertion of force by personnel. A crank 12 is installed at the bottom of the fixed block 2;
[0020] Guide rails 6 are arranged on both inner walls of the groove 13. The guide rails 6 are slidably matched with the first clamping block 4 and the second clamping block 5. The arrangement of the guide rails 6 can guide the first clamping block 4 and the second clamping block 5, avoiding left and right rotation during the movement of the first clamping block 4 and the second clamping block 5, resulting in instability.
[0021] Please refer to Figures 2-3 The crank 12 includes a first rocker 1201, a second rocker 1202, a plug 1203 and a third rocker 1204. The first rocker 1201 is perpendicularly connected to both the second rocker 1202 and the third rocker 1204. The plug 1203 is installed at the end of the second rocker 1202. A socket 11 is formed at the bottom of the fixed block 2. The socket 11 is movably inserted and matched with the plug 1203. The movable insertion can make the crank 12 detachable, facilitating the disassembly and storage of the fire hydrant key when not in use, and also facilitating local replacement in case of damage, reducing the maintenance cost.
[0022] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows:
[0023] During use, personnel first adjust the distance between the first clamping block 4 and the second clamping block 5 according to the specification of the fire hydrant valve stem nut. When adjusting, the adjusting wheel 9 is toggled. The adjusting wheel 9 drives the bidirectional lead screw 3 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 3 drives the first clamping block 4 and the second clamping block 5 to move along the guide rails 6, achieving mutual approach or mutual separation. Then, the fire hydrant valve stem nut can be clamped through the V-shaped clamping grooves 10 formed on the first clamping block 4 and the second clamping block 5. Then, the end of the crank 12 with the plug 1203 is inserted into the socket 11 formed on the fixed block 2. Then, by rotating the crank 12, the fire hydrant valve stem nut can be rotated, thereby opening or closing the fire hydrant.
[0024] Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
