Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fire safety, and in particular to a fire hydrant safety warning device. Background Art

[0002] Fire hydrants are mainly used for fire trucks to draw water from the municipal water supply network or outdoor fire water supply network for fire extinguishing. They can also be directly connected to water hoses and water guns to discharge water for fire extinguishing. Indoor and outdoor fire hydrant systems are one of the important fire-fighting facilities for fighting fires. However, most of the existing outdoor fire hydrants are installed on both sides of urban roads or in open areas with heavy traffic. There are blind spots when vehicles are driving or reversing. The existing fire hydrants have no anti-collision devices or the presence of fire hydrants is not obvious, and they are easily damaged by vehicle collisions or other external forces.

[0003] Fire hydrant guardrails are protective structures designed to protect fire hydrants. Their primary function is to block or mitigate external impacts from vehicles and other sources through their physical structure, protecting the hydrants from damage. However, since fire hydrants may be located near sidewalks, they are easily obscured by parked bicycles or surrounding greenery, making them less visible and prone to accidental damage, as well as difficult to locate in emergencies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0029] In addition, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; it can mean mechanical connection or electrical connection; it can mean direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean internal communication between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Fire hydrants are generally classified into two types: underground and above-ground. Underground hydrants, with their valve wells installed below the ground, are suitable for areas with low winter temperatures and the potential for freezing. Above-ground hydrants, on the other hand, are completely exposed and are suitable for warmer climates. The primary function of a fire hydrant is to provide sufficient water pressure and volume in the event of a fire so that firefighters can quickly extinguish the flames. Fire hydrants are directly connected to the city's permanent water supply, providing a more stable and powerful water flow than temporary water systems.

[0031] Fire hydrant barriers are specially designed to protect fire hydrants. Their primary function is to prevent damage from vehicle collisions or other external forces. However, fire hydrants may be located near sidewalks, where they are easily obscured by parked bicycles or surrounding greenery. This makes them less visible and easily damaged by accidental collisions, making them difficult to locate in emergencies.

[0032] Therefore, the inventors propose a fire hydrant safety warning device to solve the problem that fire hydrants are easily damaged by accident or difficult to find when they are needed in an emergency.

[0033] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0034] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a fire hydrant safety warning device provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a warning sign for a fire hydrant safety warning device provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the fire hydrant safety warning device guardrail provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 This is a schematic structural diagram of the alarm component in the fire hydrant safety warning device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a fire hydrant safety warning device provided in an embodiment of the present application includes: a guardrail 1, a connecting rod 2 and a warning sign 3. The guardrail 1 is a semi-enclosed frame with an open side; the warning sign 3 is fixed above the guardrail 1 through the connecting rod 2.

[0036] Specifically, the semi-enclosed U-shaped guardrail 1 effectively surrounds the fire hydrant, providing a degree of physical protection and mitigating accidental impact and damage. This prevents the hydrant from being damaged by external forces, while maintaining normal operation and use. In emergencies, the guardrail 1 can be quickly opened to access water, among other tasks. Furthermore, compared to a fully enclosed structure, the semi-enclosed U-shape offers greater flexibility in space utilization and minimizes impact on the surrounding area. A warning sign 3 affixed above the guardrail 1 provides a more prominent reminder of firefighting facilities and serves as a warning. Warning signs and instructions can be displayed on both sides of the sign, ensuring that the fire hydrant's location and proper protection and use are clearly visible.

[0037] The guardrail 1 includes four vertical poles 4 and three cross bars 5 , and adjacent vertical poles 4 are connected and fixed by the cross bars 5 .

[0038] Specifically, the structure of four vertical poles 4 and three horizontal poles 5 is relatively stable, providing good support and protection. Adjacent vertical poles 4 are connected and fixed by horizontal poles 5, enhancing the overall stability and rigidity. The vertical poles 4 and horizontal poles 5 are welded and fixed together; the vertical poles 4 and horizontal poles 5 are made of stainless steel pipes.

[0039] A base 6 is provided at the bottom of the upright pole 4, and the base 6 is fixed to the ground by fixing bolts.

[0040] Specifically, a base 6 is provided at the bottom of the upright 4 and secured to the ground via fixing bolts. This ensures that the guardrail 1 is securely mounted to the ground, resisting shaking or tipping. It remains stable even when subjected to external forces, effectively protecting the fire hydrant. Furthermore, the fixing method using the base 6 facilitates installation and removal, facilitating subsequent maintenance or adjustments. The fixing bolts are stainless steel expansion bolts, which offer excellent corrosion resistance and load-bearing capacity, ensuring a secure connection between the upright 4 and the ground.

[0041] The fire hydrant safety warning device provided in this embodiment can provide physical protection by setting up a guardrail 1 and a warning sign 3, thereby reducing accidental impact and damage to the fire hydrant from the outside world; at the same time, the warning sign 3 can more prominently remind people to pay attention to fire-fighting facilities, allowing people to clearly find the location of the fire hydrant and pay attention to its protection.

[0042] In some embodiments, the above device further includes a reinforcement rod 7 , which is disposed below the crossbar 5 , and has two ends fixedly connected to the vertical rod 4 .

[0043] Specifically, the reinforcement rod 7 further enhances the stability and strength of the guardrail 1. The reinforcement rod 7 provides additional support beneath the crossbar 5, sharing the pressure and external forces that the crossbar 5 may be subjected to. This makes the entire guardrail 1 structure more solid and reliable, better able to withstand external impacts and influences, and can better ensure its protective function, allowing the guardrail 1 to maintain a good protective state and extend its service life.

[0044] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 2 is slidably disposed in the vertical rod 4 , and the connecting rod 2 and the vertical rod 4 are fixed by a locking bolt.

[0045] Specifically, the connecting rod 2 is slidably arranged within the vertical rod 4, allowing the height of the warning sign 3 to be flexibly adjusted to suit different needs and scenarios. The locking bolts secure the connecting rod 2 to prevent it from sliding or shaking after it is properly adjusted, keeping the warning sign 3 stably in the set position and increasing the stability and reliability of the entire device. Furthermore, the sliding connection makes the warning sign 3 easy to disassemble, facilitate installation, and facilitate subsequent maintenance and adjustment.

[0046] In some embodiments, the vertical pole 4 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 8 , and the connecting rod 2 is provided with a fixing hole 9 . The connecting rod 2 and the vertical pole 4 are locked and fixed by locking bolts passing through the limiting holes 8 and the fixing holes 9 .

[0047] Specifically, the limiting holes 8 are evenly spaced along the axial direction of the upright 4. The multiple limiting holes 8 allow the connecting rod 2 to be fixed in multiple positions on the upright 4, thereby better meeting the different angle requirements of the warning sign 3. When the connecting rod 2 needs to be fixed, the locking bolts are inserted through the corresponding limiting holes 8 and fixing holes 9 to achieve a secure connection and positioning, ensuring the stability and safety of the entire structure.

[0048] In some embodiments, the surfaces of the guardrail 1 , the connecting rod 2 and the warning sign 3 are provided with an anti-corrosion coating.

[0049] Specifically, the anti-corrosion coating can effectively protect the guardrail 1, the connecting rod 2 and the warning sign 3 from corrosive factors in the external environment, such as moisture, rain, chemicals, etc., thereby extending their service life and maintaining the stability of their performance and appearance.

[0050] Anti-corrosion coatings can also enhance their durability and reliability, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

[0051] In some embodiments, the outer side wall of the guardrail 1 is provided with a reflective tape 10 .

[0052] Specifically, the reflective tape 10 can improve the visibility of the guardrail 1 under any lighting conditions, so that people can clearly see the position of the guardrail 1 at night or in low light conditions, improve the driver's recognition of the guardrail 1, play a better warning role, reduce the occurrence of accidental collisions, and more promptly find the location of the fire hydrant through light illumination when it is necessary to find the fire hydrant.

[0053] In some embodiments, a reflective coating is provided outside the anti-corrosion coating of the warning sign 3 .

[0054] Specifically, the reflective coating can enhance the visibility of the warning sign 3 by reflecting light in a dimly lit environment, so that people can clearly see the location of the warning sign 3 at night or in low light conditions, helping people and vehicles avoid collisions with fire hydrants, and finding the location of fire hydrants more promptly when they need to find them.

[0055] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned device also includes an alarm component, which includes an alarm 11, a distance detector 12, a controller 13 and a power module 15. The controller 13 has a built-in comparison module 14, the distance detector 12 is connected to the comparison module 14, and the alarm 11 and the power module 15 are respectively connected to the controller 13.

[0056] Specifically, the distance detector 12 can monitor the distance to the object and then transmit the data to the comparison module 14; the comparison module 14 can pre-set a threshold. When the distance reaches this threshold, it will trigger the controller 13, thereby causing the alarm 11 to issue an alarm signal. The power module 15 provides power support for the alarm component. The alarm 11 can be an audible and visual alarm 11, etc. When a vehicle enters the threshold range, it will alarm the vehicle to prevent the vehicle from colliding with the fire hydrant and better protect the fire hydrant. The controller 13 is a PLC controller.

[0057] In some embodiments, the above device further includes an LED light strip 16 , which is disposed on a side wall of the warning sign 3 and is connected to the controller 13 .

[0058] Specifically, the LED light strip further enhances the warning effect by flashing light, which can more effectively attract people's attention, especially in low-light environments. Moreover, its placement on the side wall of the warning sign 3 can provide prompts from more angles, improving the warning effect and practicality of the entire device.

[0059] The LED light strip 16 can be preset in different modes by the controller 13 to adapt to various application scenarios. For example, it uses a static bright light under normal circumstances, and switches to a fast flashing mode to warn of an abnormal situation when a vehicle is close.

[0060] The LED light strip 16 has the characteristics of long life and low energy consumption. It can work continuously for a long time in various environments without frequent replacement and maintenance.

[0061] In some embodiments, the above device further includes a solar panel 17 , which is fixed to the top of the warning sign 3 and connected to the power module 15 .

[0062] Specifically, charging the power module 15 through the solar panel 17 can ensure that the alarm component has a continuous and stable power supply. Fixing the solar panel 17 on the top of the warning sign 3 can maximize the reception of sunlight for energy conversion while avoiding being blocked by other objects.

[0063] Those skilled in the art will readily conceive of other implementations of the present application after considering the specification and practicing the technical solutions disclosed herein.

[0064] This application is intended to cover any modifications, uses or adaptations of the present application that follow the general principles of the present application and include common knowledge or customary technical means in the technical field that are not disclosed in this application.
