BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the cutaway structure of an outdoor fire hydrant with an anti-theft function according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0017] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the enlarged structure of point A in Example 1 of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] refer to Figure 1-2The embodiment of the present utility model discloses: an outdoor fire hydrant with an anti-theft function, comprising a plug body 1, a water outlet 2 provided at the upper end of the plug body 1, a valve seat 4 provided in the plug body 1, a valve plate 5 provided on the valve seat 4, a valve stem 3 provided in the plug body 1, the valve stem 3 is connected to the valve plate 5, the other end of the valve stem 3 passes through the plug body 1, the plug body 1 is provided with a first channel 7 above the valve seat 4, a first conductive rod 9 and a second conductive rod 10 that can conduct electricity are symmetrically provided in the first channel 7, a control module 11 and a wireless communication module that can communicate with a mobile phone APP are provided in the plug body 1 The first conductive rod 9 is electrically connected to the external battery, the second conductive rod 10 is electrically connected to the control module 11 and the wireless communication module 12 respectively, the control module 11 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module 12, the bolt body 1 is provided with a water inlet channel connected to the upper end of the first channel 7, the bolt body 1 is further provided with a drain pipe 13 for draining the water in the first channel 7, the drain pipe 13 is provided on the bolt body 1, the drain pipe 13 is connected to the bottom of the first channel 7, and the drain pipe 13 is provided with an opening and closing valve. Among them, when in use, when non-staff opens the fire hydrant, water flows out from the valve seat 4, and then enters the first channel 7 from the water inlet channel, submerging the first conductive rod 9 and the second conductive rod 10, thereby energizing the first conductive rod 9 and the second conductive rod 10, thereby energizing the control module 11 and the wireless transmission module. Then the control module 11 transmits the electrical signal to the wireless communication module 12, and the wireless communication module 12 sends information to the mobile phone APP, so that the staff can know that the fire hydrant is opened, thereby facilitating the staff to carry out maintenance and management, avoiding the waste of fire hydrant water resources and affecting fire fighting, thereby preventing others from stealing water. When the processing is completed, the opening and closing valve is opened to drain the water in the first channel 7, so that the equipment can continue to monitor.

[0020] In order to further facilitate the staff to handle and better prevent others from stealing water, a sealing plate 14 is also included. The valve seat 4 is located at the fluid channel of the valve seat 4 and a sliding channel 6 is opened. The bolt body 1 is provided with a sliding device for driving the sealing plate 14 to slide.

[0021] Specifically, the sliding device includes a screw 15, which is rotatably penetrated in the sliding channel 6, and the screw 15 is threadedly penetrated in the sealing plate 14 and is threadedly transmitted with the sealing plate 14. A servo motor 16 for driving the screw 15 is provided in the bolt body 1 of the screw 15, and the servo motor 16 is electrically connected to the control module 11.

[0022] Among them, when the staff finds out that the fire hydrant has been opened by others, they operate through the mobile phone APP and control the servo motor 16 to start through the control module 11. The servo motor 16 starts, driving the screw 15 to rotate. The screw 15 and the sliding plate are threaded, driving the sliding plate to slide, thereby sealing the fluid channel of the valve seat 4, thereby preventing water from flowing out, which makes it convenient for the staff to carry out pre-processing in time and wait for the staff to arrive before processing, thereby giving the staff more time to process.

[0023] In order to facilitate water inlet, a one-way valve 8 is provided in the water inlet channel.

[0024] In order to prevent the one-way valve 8 and the first channel 7 from being blocked, a filter screen (not shown in the figure) is provided in front of the one-way valve 8 in the water inlet channel.

[0025] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions only illustrate the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which shall fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
