[0002] Traditional outdoor fire hydrants are water supply facilities installed on the fire water supply pipe network outside buildings. They are 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 discharge water for fire fighting. They are one of the important fire fighting facilities for extinguishing fires. Due to their wide distribution, installation outdoors, and easy use, they are prone to being damaged and stolen of water. Some fire hydrants have problems such as no water and insufficient water pressure.

For the widely distributed and large number of outdoor fire hydrants, the supervision means are single and weak, and the problem of insufficient supervision is widespread. On the one hand, it causes outdoor fire hydrants to be easily stolen of free water, causing economic losses to the water company. On the other hand, due to insufficient maintenance and upkeep, the water pressure of the fire hydrants is insufficient or there is no water, resulting in delays in fire fighting and rescue.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , this embodiment provides an intelligent component for fire hydrant transformation, including a housing 10 and a main control module, a communication module, a power supply module, a water flow sensor, and a water pressure sensor arranged inside the housing 10; the communication module, the power supply module, the water flow sensor, and the water pressure sensor are respectively electrically connected to the main control module; the detection end 11 of the water flow sensor passes through the upper cover 901 of the valve control mechanism 90 through a waterproof joint and is placed into the cylinder body 80; the detection end 12 of the water pressure sensor passes through the upper cover 901 of the valve control mechanism 90 through a waterproof joint and is arranged on the lower valve plate 905 of the valve control mechanism 90.

[0044] It should be noted that the structural composition of the existing traditional fire hydrant includes a cylinder body 80 and a valve control mechanism 90. The outer wall of the cylinder body 80 is usually sprayed with red paint and is provided with a plurality of water outlet interfaces. The bottom of the cylinder body 80 is communicated with an adapter. The structural composition of the valve control mechanism 90 from top to bottom includes an upper cover 901, a threaded lead screw 902, an internal thread sleeve 903, a connecting rod 904, a lower valve plate 905, and a valve core 906. The valve control mechanism 90 is inserted into the cylinder body 80 from the top of the cylinder body 80. The valve core 906 is located at the valve port of the cylinder body 80. The upper end of the threaded lead screw 902 penetrates through the upper cover 901 in a sealed manner. By using a valve control tool to rotate the threaded lead screw 902 above the upper cover 901 to drive the valve core 906 to rotate or move up and down to realize the opening and closing of the valve, and the upper cover 901 is used to fixedly connect with the upper edge of the cylinder body 80 to seal the inside of the cylinder body 80. During actual use, water flows upward from the bottom of the cylinder body 80 to the water outlet interface, enters the water pipe and is sprayed through a water gun head.

[0045] The main control module can adopt an MCU microcontroller, and the specific model is STM32L151RCT6. The extended antenna can adopt a communication chip, and the specific model can be M5313, MN316, BG95M2LA-64-SGNS, etc.

[0046] The communication module adopts a wireless communication solution, such as a Wi-Fi module, a Bluetooth module, or a Zigbee module. It can also use NB-IoT communication for communication.

[0047] The power supply module can be the mains power or a storage battery. When connected to the mains power, a power supply conversion device is required. Since the power consumption of each electrical appliance used is low, considering the cost of pulling electricity, a storage battery can be used for power supply, such as a 3.6V lithium thionyl chloride battery, which greatly reduces the cost.

[0048] The detection end of the water flow sensor is a sensor. Specifically, in this embodiment, a vibration design can be adopted. By placing the detection end inside the cylinder body 80 of the fire hydrant, the detection end judges the state of the water flow by measuring the vibration generated when the water flow passes through. There is no water stored inside the cylinder body 80 of the fire hydrant when it is not in use, that is, there is no water between the upper sealing cover 901 and the lower valve plate 905 of the valve control mechanism 90. The detection end of the water flow sensor only needs to be located between the upper sealing cover 901 and the lower valve plate 905 of the control mechanism. When the valve opening is opened, water will gush out from the periphery of the lower valve plate 905 from bottom to top, generating vibration and allowing the water flow sensor to detect the water flow state. The detection principle of the water flow sensor is that the detection end senses the water flow rate and outputs signals such as pulse signals, current, or voltage. These signals are linearly proportional to the water flow rate, thereby realizing the management of water control and the calculation of the flowmeter 13. The change of the water flow is detected by the water flow sensor, and the detected signal is transmitted to the main control module. After signal analysis and conversion by the main control module, water flow data is obtained, and finally transmitted to the upper management platform through the communication module.

[0049] The detection end of the water pressure sensor can adopt different types of sensors. For example, a piezoresistive sensor measures pressure by the change in resistance value caused by the deformation of a resistive element; a piezoelectric sensor measures using the property that piezoelectric materials generate charges when compressed; a hydrostatic pressure sensor measures through the static pressure generated by the height difference of a liquid. Different types of water pressure sensors are suitable for different water pressure environments, and can be selected according to the actual situation. To make the detection end of the water pressure sensor relatively stable and detect the water pressure data after the valve is opened in the first time, the detection end of the water pressure sensor is fixed on the upper surface of the lower valve plate 905. The model of the water pressure sensor can be MD-S271FC, MD-S273, and its detection process is as follows: 1. The pressure sensor senses force: The water pressure sensor usually includes a thin film or a flexible sheet, and this diaphragm will be subjected to the force of liquid or gas pressure. For example, when the water pressure increases, the thin film will be squeezed or deformed. 2. The deformation of the diaphragm causes the generation of an electrical signal: When the thin film deforms due to a change in pressure, its electrical properties such as resistance, capacitance, or inductance will also change accordingly. These changes can be detected and measured by the circuit inside the sensor. 3. Electrical signal conversion: The measured change in electrical properties will be converted by the circuit inside the sensor into an electrical signal corresponding to the pressure change. Common conversion methods include bridges, capacitance change measurement, piezoresistive, etc. 4. Signal processing and output: The converted electrical signal is transmitted to the main control module, and after being processed and analyzed by the main control module, the water pressure value is obtained. By monitoring the water pressure value in the fire hydrant, ensuring that its water pressure is within the standard range, promptly detecting abnormal water pressure and performing maintenance, avoiding poor fire extinguishing effect caused by insufficient water pressure or the water gun not being able to be used normally due to too high water pressure.

[0050] It should be noted that through holes need to be processed on the upper cover 901, and a waterproof joint is set at the through hole. The data lines connected to the detection ends of the water pressure sensor and the water flow sensor both pass through the upper cover 901 through the waterproof joint.

[0051] The working principle of this new type is: by combining the intelligent component with the valve control mechanism 90 of the traditional fire hydrant. Specifically, through holes are opened on the upper cover 901 of the valve control mechanism 90 and a waterproof joint is installed at the through hole. The housing 10 integrated with various functional modules and sensors is set above the upper cover 901. The detection end of the sensor is set around the valve control mechanism 90 located in the cylinder body 80 or on the lower valve plate 905 of the valve control mechanism 90 through the waterproof joint. Only by installing the valve control mechanism 90 integrated with the intelligent component into the cylinder body 80 of the existing fire hydrant can the transformation of the traditional fire hydrant be realized, enabling it to have the functions of water pressure detection and water flow detection, and being able to collect and analyze data through the main control module and communicate with the upper management platform through the communication module.

[0052] The present invention integrates an intelligent component including a housing 10 and a main control module, a communication module, a power supply module, a water flow sensor, and a water pressure sensor disposed inside the housing 10 on a valve control mechanism 90 of a traditional fire hydrant, achieving low-cost transformation of the traditional fire hydrant, enabling it to have functions of water pressure detection and water flow detection, and capable of collecting and analyzing data through the main control module and communicating with an upper management platform through the communication module, replacing replacement with transformation and reducing costs.

[0053] Further, a flowmeter 13 is further included. The flowmeter 13 is disposed in the cylinder body 80 and is electrically connected to the main control module through a waterproof connector. The flowmeter 13 can be fixed on the inner wall of the cylinder body 80. Preferably, in order to improve the transformation efficiency, the flowmeter 13 can be fixed on a connecting rod 904 of the valve control mechanism 90. Only by integrating the flowmeter 13 on the valve control mechanism 90 before leaving the factory, the upgrade transformation can be directly achieved by replacing the valve control mechanism 90 without additionally fixing the flowmeter 13 on site. The flowmeter 13 can adopt an electromagnetic flowmeter 13 or an ultrasonic flowmeter 13, such as an HLLD type electromagnetic flowmeter 13. Its working principle is Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. In the electromagnetic flowmeter 13, the conductive medium in the measuring tube is equivalent to the conductive metal rod in Faraday's experiment. Two electromagnetic coils at the upper and lower ends generate a constant magnetic field. When a conductive medium flows through, an induced voltage will be generated. Two electrodes inside the pipeline measure the generated induced voltage. The measuring pipeline is electromagnetically isolated from the fluid and the measuring electrodes through a non-conductive lining (rubber, Teflon, etc.). The water flow is recorded by the flowmeter 13, and the data is transmitted to the main control module, and finally the data is uploaded to the upper management platform through the communication module, so that the water usage situation of the fire hydrant can be monitored, water theft can be detected in time, and the situation of insufficient water pressure can be detected and maintained in time.

[0054] Furthermore, it further includes an inclination sensor, which is arranged inside the housing 10 and electrically connected to the main control module. The inclination sensor triggers a signal by detecting the inclination angle of an object. Inside the inclination sensor, there is a mass that can move freely, usually a rolling ball, and there is a conductive plate below it. When the sensor is completely upright, the ball falls to the bottom of the sensor, contacts the electrical connection path, closes the electrical connection of the two end terminals, and enables current to flow. When the sensor is inclined, the ball does not fall to the bottom and close the conductive path, resulting in an open conductive path and no current flowing. Specifically for the inclination sensor of the fire hydrant, its function is to immediately send an alarm signal when the fire hydrant is impacted or inclined beyond a certain angle. The inclination sensor is placed on the fire hydrant and remains vertical with the fire hydrant in the normal state. When the fire hydrant is inclined, it drives the inclination sensor to incline. The inclination sensor generates an electrical signal and transmits it to the main control module. After analyzing the electrical signal, the main control module obtains the inclination angle and transmits the alarm information to the upper management platform through the communication module, notifying the repair personnel to respond quickly and arrive at the scene in time to check and verify the situation. This effectively improves the management efficiency and safety of the fire hydrant and reduces the potential safety hazards caused by the damage or theft of the fire hydrant. The model of the inclination sensor can refer to T60404-E4626-X121, BWK210, or BWM426, etc. Preferably, the inclination sensor can adopt the ADXL345 three-axis chip. The ADXL345 is a small and thin low-power three-axis accelerometer that can perform high-resolution (13-bit) measurements of accelerations up to ±16g.

[0055] The top of the traditional fire hydrant is usually the end of the threaded screw rod 902 of the valve control mechanism 90, which is used to connect with a valve control tool, such as a fire hydrant handwheel. The bottom of the handwheel is a sleeve that matches the end of the threaded screw rod 902. By sleeving the bottom of the handwheel on the threaded screw rod 902, the threaded screw rod 902 can be rotated by turning the handwheel, thereby driving the valve element 906 at the bottom of the valve control mechanism 90 to open or close. Therefore, when modifying the valve control mechanism 90, the intelligent component needs not to affect the connection between the handwheel and the threaded screw rod 902. To adapt to the structure of the traditional fire hydrant, an opening that penetrates up and down is provided at the center of the housing 10. The opening allows the threaded screw rod 902 of the valve control mechanism 90 to pass through and enables it to connect with the valve control tool. Specifically, the size of the opening should be larger than the size of the valve control tool.

[0056] The housing 10 can be directly fixed on the upper cover 901, and can be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, snap structures or fasteners. For the convenience of later maintenance, further, a fixing ring 20 is further included. The fixing ring 20 is detachably and fixedly connected to the housing 10, and the fixing ring 20 is detachably and fixedly connected to the upper cover 901 of the valve control mechanism 90. Specifically, a plurality of protruding plates with bolt holes 201 can be provided on the fixing ring 20, and at least two protruding plates with bolt holes 201 can be provided on the outer wall of the housing 10. At least two through holes are opened on the upper cover 901, and the housing 10 and the fixing ring 20 are locked and fixedly connected by bolts; a pair of convex blocks 202 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side wall of the fixing ring 20, a chute 203 with an upper opening is arranged in the convex block 202, a nut is loaded in the chute 203, and corresponding through holes are opened at the edge of the barrel 80 of the fire hydrant. Align the nut with the through hole and screw in the nut to achieve fixation. Thus, the relative fixation between the housing 10 and the upper cover 901 is realized.

[0057] Since most fire hydrants are outdoors or exposed to indoor spaces for a long time, the exposed housing 10 is easily eroded by wind and rain or damaged by humans. To effectively protect the housing 10, further, a lock control cap 30 is further included. The lock control cap 30 is a hollow structure with a lower opening, and the housing 10 is fixed inside the lock control cap 30 through the fixing ring 20. The lock control cap 30 and the barrel 80 of the fire hydrant can be fixedly connected by bolts and nuts. Since the fixing ring 20 itself has a structure for fixedly connecting with the barrel 80 of the fire hydrant, the lock control cap 30 does not need to be provided with additional structures for fixedly connecting with the barrel 80.

[0058] Further, a through port for a valve control tool to pass through is provided at the center of the top of the lock control cap 30. A lid 31 that can be movably opened and closed is provided at the through port, and a locking device is provided between the lid 31 and the lock control cap 30. With this structure, when it is necessary to open the valve to release water, it is not necessary to remove the lock control cap 30. It is only necessary to open the lid 31 to allow the valve control tool to enter. The moving manner of the lid 31 can be flipping up and down or sliding horizontally. It is only necessary to hinge one side of the lid 31 to the main body of the lock control cap 30.

[0059] Further, the locking device is an electronic lock, and the electronic lock is electrically connected to the main control module. The electronic lock includes various unlocking methods such as card swiping to unlock, emergency physical unlocking, remote unlocking, code scanning to unlock, and Bluetooth unlocking.

[0060] Further, it further includes an induction module. The induction module is electrically connected to the main control module. The induction panel 32 of the induction module is arranged on the lock control cap 30. The induction panel can be an RFID reader, an NFC reader, a barcode scanner, etc. It interacts with the induction panel through an IC card, an ID card, NFC or a two-dimensional code. The main control module receives the induction information and controls the electronic lock to be opened or closed after verification, improving efficiency.

[0061] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is in a C-shaped structure, and the interior of the housing 10 is divided into multiple accommodation spaces by partitions. The multiple accommodation spaces are used to place and fix different modules, improving stability.

[0062] The present invention also provides a fire hydrant, which includes the intelligent component for fire hydrant transformation as described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0063] It should also be noted that the solution of the novel cap-transformed intelligent hydrant is developed based on technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud technology, and big data, and includes two parts: a remote Internet of Things monitoring module and an intelligent fire hydrant integrated management platform. The remote Internet of Things monitoring module consists of an Internet of Things main control module, an inclination sensor, a water pressure sensor, a water flow sensor, an intelligent flowmeter, and an intelligent lock control cap. Among them, the Internet of Things main control module is powered by a lithium battery and communicates using the NB-IOT communication method. The Internet of Things main control module periodically monitors the working parameters of the inclination sensor and the water pressure sensor. When the working parameters of the relevant sensors exceed the preset threshold, the device actively reports alarm information to the intelligent fire hydrant integrated management platform. The intelligent lock control cap supports multiple unlocking methods such as card swiping to unlock, emergency unlocking, remote unlocking, barcode scanning to unlock, and Bluetooth unlocking.

[0064] The solution of the novel cap-transformed intelligent hydrant is used to transform and upgrade the existing ordinary fire hydrant into an intelligent fire hydrant. By replacing the original ordinary cap with a transformed intelligent cap, and at the same time replacing the original ordinary screw rod with an intelligent screw rod integrated with a water flow sensor, a water pressure sensor, and an intelligent flowmeter, and then supporting the corresponding intelligent fire hydrant integrated management platform, the ordinary fire hydrant can be upgraded to an intelligent fire hydrant. The functions of the cap-transformed intelligent fire hydrant include: water outlet monitoring, water pressure monitoring, inclination monitoring, flow statistics, intelligent lock control, positioning and navigation, battery voltage monitoring, signal strength monitoring, etc.

[0065] The intelligent fire hydrant integrated management platform is deployed in the form of a cloud platform. The platform includes a PC management platform, an APP, and a WeChat official account. Among them, the functions of the PC management platform include a home page, user management, device management, alarm query, work order management, intelligent lock control, metering management, report center, digital big screen, and other functional modules. Through the PC management platform, the data reported by the remote Internet of Things monitoring module can be comprehensively summarized, displayed, and managed. At the same time, the relevant parameters of the device can be remotely set through the management platform.

[0066] The WeChat official account platform includes functional modules such as device management, alarm query, map display, work order management, and mine. Through the mobile phone, the device status of the remote Internet of Things monitoring module can be viewed and the alarm can be queried. At the same time, the device installation can be completed through the WeChat official account when the device is initially installed.

[0067] At the same time, the present invention also has the following beneficial effects:

[0068] (1) The present invention can realize real-time alarm for the water discharge of the intelligent hydrant, remotely and real-time monitor whether there are problems such as water theft in the intelligent hydrant, and at the same time, the water consumption of each time can be measured and statistically reported, and the data of the water consumption of each time and the cumulative water consumption can be reported.

[0069] (2) The present invention can realize remote monitoring of the water pressure of the pipeline where the intelligent hydrant is installed, and alarm when the water pressure is too low / high, ensuring that the water pressure of the pipeline where the fire hydrant is installed is within the normal operating range, and ensuring that the fire hydrant is available at any time during fire rescue.

[0070] (3) The present invention can realize the map positioning function of the intelligent hydrant. When water theft, low water pressure alarm or emergency occurs, the target fire hydrant can be quickly located and navigated to through the mobile phone platform.

[0071] (4) The present invention can realize the control of water use permissions. Users must unlock the valve through authorized methods such as swiping the card to unlock, remotely unlocking, scanning the code to unlock, and Bluetooth unlocking to use water, effectively protecting water resources from being illegally misappropriated and abused.
