Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipelines and fire-fighting equipment, in particular to a bend pipe, a conveying device using the bend pipe, and fire-fighting equipment. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the delivery pipes used in fire extinguishing devices include a straight pipe portion and a curved pipe portion, which are mostly cast using an integrated molding process. When water flows from the straight pipe portion to the curved pipe portion, the rapid change in flow direction can produce a large impact force on the wall surface of the curved pipe sealing cover, generating loud noise and easily causing water leakage over time. Furthermore, the decrease in water flow velocity can lead to indirect flow interruption and irregular water flow. CN219208833U discloses a delivery pipe for fire extinguishing devices. The pipe comprises a guide structure that is clamped at the opening of the water delivery elbow. The guide structure's shape matches the U-shaped inner cavity of the water delivery elbow, and the sidewalls of the guide structure fit the inner cavity of the water delivery elbow. The water elbow of this improved method still has a closing cover, and the wall surface of the closing cover is still subject to the impact force generated by the water flow, and the diversion structure is likely to fall off, which is likely to cause a major device failure. Although the setting of the diversion structure can buffer the impact of the water flow to a certain extent, it still poses a great challenge to the sealing of the closing cover and the water elbow. In addition, the setting of the diversion structure increases the complexity of the elbow casting to a certain extent, and the matching degree between the diversion structure and the inner cavity shape of the water elbow is also required. Therefore, the actual application effect may not be satisfactory. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a curved pipe having a U-shaped structure 1 inside. A flow guide 2 is provided at the center of the curved pipe's open end, dividing the curved pipe's open end into an inlet end 3 and an outlet end 4. The flow guide 2 is provided with a second U-shaped structure 5 that matches the first U-shaped structure 1. A fluid channel 6 is formed between the first U-shaped structure 1 and the second U-shaped structure 5. The inlet end 3 and the outlet end 4 are located on either side of the fluid channel 6. In this embodiment, the flow guide and the curved pipe are separate structures.

[0030] In addition, the guide piece and the elbow can also be an integrated structure, for example: Figure 3 A structure shown.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flow guide 2 and the elbow are separate structures. The open end of the "U"-shaped structure 1 extends outward a distance to form a mounting end 7, and the mounting end 7 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 8. The flow guide 2 has a mounting end 9 that matches the mounting end 7, and the mounting end 9 is provided with mounting holes 10 that correspond one to one with the mounting holes 8. The mounting end 9 is provided with the "U"-shaped structure 5, and the mounting end 9 is also provided with through holes 11 and 12 corresponding to the inlet end 3 and the outlet end 4, respectively. To ensure the convenience and uniformity of the process of manufacturing the "U"-shaped structure 5, the "U"-shaped structure 5 is a hollow structure. After the "U"-shaped structure 1 and the "U"-shaped structure 2, 5 are connected, a sealing structure is provided between the two. In this embodiment, the sealing structure is specifically a sealing ring.

[0032] In addition to being suitable for general needs to change the flow direction of fluid in a pipeline, the elbow of this embodiment is particularly suitable for changing the flow direction of large and rapid water flows. It has a good pipeline pressure buffering effect, reduces safety risks, and reduces water pressure loss.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a conveying device, including: the curved pipe and the straight pipe 13 of Example 1, wherein the inlet end 3 of the curved pipe is detachably connected to one end of the straight pipe 13 via a connecting seat 14. The straight pipe 13 can be fixedly connected to the connecting seat 14 or rotatably connected to the connecting seat 14.

[0035] In this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the straight tube 13 and the connecting seat 14 are rotatably connected, specifically: the connecting seat 14 is an L-shaped structure, the straight tube 13 is vertically inserted through one end of the connecting seat 14 (straight tube connecting end 14-1) and is connected to the bearing provided in the connecting seat 14, and the other end of the connecting seat 14 (elbow connecting end 14-2) is connected to the elbow by bolts. A fixing plate 15 is also provided on the straight tube 13 of the connecting seat 14, and the fixing plate 15 is installed above the connecting seat 14. The function of the fixing plate 15 is to facilitate the installation and disassembly of some auxiliary mechanisms, for example: a U-shaped groove is provided on the fixing plate 15, which can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the motor that drives the straight tube to rotate. And the rotation setting method can be: the straight tube 13 is fixed, and the motor drives the fixing plate 15 and the connecting seat 14 to rotate horizontally.

[0036] Furthermore, several bearings 14-3 are provided within the connecting seat 14, typically 1 to 2, preferably 2. In this embodiment 3, two bearings are installed. When the firefighting medium is introduced into the straight pipe 13, a large impact force is generated within the straight pipe 13. Multiple bearings, such as 2, can effectively stabilize the straight pipe 13 and ensure the stability of the connecting seat 14 during rotation. Furthermore, auxiliary structures can be provided on the outside of the connecting seat 14 as needed, such as a connecting plate 17 for mounting a water sprinkler, a water pump, a valve, a pipe connector, a reducer, etc. It can also serve as a reinforcement plate, i.e., strengthening the connection. Various holes can be provided on the connecting plate 17 as needed.

[0037] The conveying device of this embodiment is suitable for all application scenarios requiring fluid transportation, and is particularly suitable for scenarios where firefighting processes require large water flows, rapid water flows, and changes in water flow direction under high pressure.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a fire-fighting equipment, including: the conveying device of embodiment 3 (the straight pipe 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 14) and the injection device; one end of the straight pipe 13 of the conveying device is connected to the fire-fighting pipeline, and one end of the curved pipe of the conveying device is connected to the injection device (such as Figure 7 shown).

[0040] Furthermore, the straight tube 13 is sleeved with a gear 16, which is engaged with a gear 2 (not shown) connected to the motor 1. Driven by the motor 1, the gear 2 rotates on its own while revolving around the gear 16. The motor 1 is mounted on the fixed plate 15, and the motor 1 is used to drive the gear 2 to rotate horizontally along the gear 16, thereby driving the fixed plate 15, the connecting seat 14, the curved pipe, and the injection device to rotate horizontally. In order to achieve the fixed plate 15 to rotate arbitrarily in the forward or reverse direction within an angle range of not less than 360 degrees, a two-way limit assembly (such as Figure 8 The bidirectional limit assembly includes a slider 18, a lever 19, and a limit slot 20. The limit slot 20 is located on the fixed plate 15. The slider 18 is embedded in the limit slot 20 and is slidably connected to the fixed plate 15. The lever 19 is located at the bottom of the gear 16. When the fixed plate 15 rotates until the slider 18 contacts the lever 19, the lever 19 pushes the slider 18 to continue sliding within the limit slot to a certain distance, ensuring that the maximum rotation angle of the fixed plate 15 in the forward or reverse direction is not less than 360°.

[0041] Furthermore, if Figure 7As shown, the injection device includes a connecting seat 21, which is provided with an inlet 22, an outlet 23 and a motor connecting port 24. The inlet 22 is connected to the outlet end 3 of the bent pipe, the outlet 23 is connected to the injection pipe 25, and the motor connecting port 24 is connected to the motor 2 (not shown in the figure). The connecting seat 21 swings up and down driven by the motor 2.

[0042] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate 1 26 is provided on the installation end 2 9 of the elbow, and a reinforcing plate 2 27 is provided on the connecting seat 14. The reinforcing plate 1 26 and the reinforcing plate 2 27 are connected by bolts to enhance the operational stability and safety of the fire fighting equipment. Figure 9 and Figure 7 As shown, a slide groove 28 is provided on the reinforcing plate 27, and a safety block is provided on the connecting seat 21 to match the slide groove 28 (in this embodiment, the safety block is specifically a nut, which is installed in the nut mounting hole 29 of the connecting seat 2). When the connecting seat 21 swings up and down, the safety block slides at a fixed distance in the slide groove 28 to protect the connecting seat 21 from swinging up and down at an appropriate angle, for example: swinging within the range of 0-90°, 0-120°, 0-150°, and 0-180°. The swing range set in this embodiment is 0-120°. The reinforcing plate 1 26 and the elbow, and the reinforcing plate 2 27 and the connecting seat 1 14 can be a separate structure or an integrated structure. In this embodiment, an integrated structure is adopted.

[0043] Example 4

[0044] This embodiment provides firefighting equipment that differs from Embodiment 3 in that a reinforcing rod can be connected between reinforcing plate 27 and the elbow to further strengthen the connection between the elbow and the sprinkler, preventing water leakage at the connection. Furthermore, the closer the reinforcing rod is to the maximum upward angle of the sprinkler head, the better the protection.

[0045] The embodiments of the present application are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the guidance of this application, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the purpose of this application and the scope of protection of the claims, all of which are within the protection of this application.
