[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fire-fighting sand boxes, and in particular to a waterproof sand box. Background Art
[0002] In the field of firefighting, sandboxes play an irreplaceable role as an important firefighting tool. However, traditional sandboxes face some significant problems in practical applications.
[0003] On the one hand, in many firefighting scenarios, especially outdoor environments or places easily exposed to water, such as factories, warehouses, and docks near water sources, traditional sandboxes are easily affected by rain, flooding, or other water sources. Once water enters the sandbox, the sand becomes damp and clumps, seriously affecting its firefighting performance. Damp sand is difficult to spread quickly during use and cannot effectively cover the fire source, thus reducing the efficiency and effectiveness of firefighting. On the other hand, in some emergency situations, such as firefighting and rescue operations, time is of the essence. If the sandbox is not properly waterproof, firefighters may find it difficult to handle the damp sand when retrieving it, delaying the optimal time to extinguish the fire. This not only causes greater damage at the fire scene but also endangers people's lives and property.
[0004] In existing fire sand boxes, not only is the top cover prone to leaking, but if the water accumulates deeply, rainwater will also seep in from the sides, posing a greater risk of water seepage. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, they can also be understood as further technical solutions without paying creative work. In some figures, components with the same structure or function are schematically illustrated, or only one of them is marked. In this article, "one" not only means "only one", but also means "more than one", and "several" includes "two" and "more than two".
[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0037] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 6 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, proposes a waterproof sandbox, including: a box body 1 having a storage space 2 and an opening 3 at the top of the storage space 2; a box cover 4 is hinged at one end to the box body 1, and the box cover 4 is used to open or close the opening 3; a water guide trough 5 is provided above the storage space 2 and abuts against the inner wall of the box body 1, and the water guide trough 5 is used to guide water entering the storage space 2 from the opening 3.
[0039] In this embodiment, the lid 4 is hinged to the body 1, making it easy to open and close the opening 3. When the sandbox is not in use, it can be tightly closed to prevent water vapor and moisture from entering the storage space 2, thereby enhancing the waterproof effect. By providing a water guide 5, even if water flows in through the gap in the lid 4, the water that enters will flow into the water guide trough and out, preventing the water from directly contacting the sand, ensuring that the sand always remains dry, and greatly improving the waterproof performance of the sandbox. Whether used outdoors in rainy weather or in a humid environment, it can effectively prevent the sand from getting damp, ensuring that the sandbox is always usable and providing reliable protection for emergency situations. The design of the water guide 5 abutting the inner wall of the body 1 ensures that water can be accurately guided to the appropriate location for discharge and will not accumulate inside the sandbox. When sand is needed for firefighting or other operations, there is no need to worry about the sand getting damp and affecting the use effect, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of use.
[0040] As a further technical solution, the bottom of the water guide trough 5 has several water outlet holes 6, and also includes: the two ends of the water guide rod 7 are respectively arranged on the water guide trough 5 and the side wall of the box body 1, and the water guide rod 7 has a water guide space 8, which is connected to the water outlet holes 6. The water guide rod 7 is used to guide the water in the water guide trough 5 to flow out.
[0041] In this embodiment, the multiple outlet holes 6 at the bottom of the water channel 5 communicate with the water diversion space 8 on the water diversion rod 7, forming an effective drainage channel. Once water enters the water channel 5, it quickly flows through the outlet holes 6 into the water diversion space 8, where it is then guided out of the sandbox by the water diversion rod 7. This design ensures that even a small amount of water entering the sandbox is promptly drained, further enhancing the sandbox's waterproofing. The provision of the water diversion rod 7 enhances the overall structural stability of the sandbox. It provides a connection and support between the water channel 5 and the sidewalls of the box 1, securing the water channel 5 more securely above the holding space 2 and preventing it from shifting or deforming due to external forces or water impact. When maintenance or cleaning of the sandbox is required, the presence of the water diversion rod 7 makes the drainage process more intuitive and controllable. By checking the water diversion rod 7 and the outlet holes 6 for blockage, the drainage channel can be cleaned promptly, ensuring the sandbox's waterproofing remains in good working order. This efficient drainage system reduces the risk of water accumulation within the sandbox, minimizing the problems caused by bacterial and mold growth, and improving the safety of the sandbox. This design is especially important in places with high hygiene requirements, such as food processing plants and hospitals.
[0042] As a further technical solution, it also includes: the sand storage box 9 is detachably arranged in the accommodating space 2; the overlapping edge 10 is arranged above the sand storage box 9. After the sand storage box 9 is installed, the overlapping edge 10 abuts against the water guide trough 5, and the overlapping edge 10 is used to support the sand storage box 9.
[0043] In this embodiment, since the sand storage box 9 is detachable, the sand storage box 9 can be easily taken out during daily inspections to check the state of the sand and whether there are any foreign objects mixed in. If it is found that the sand is damp or contains impurities, it can be processed in time to ensure that the sandbox is in good standby condition at any time. The abutment between the overlapping edge 10 and the water guide trough 5 forms a double waterproof protection. Even if there is a local leakage in the water guide trough 5, the overlapping edge 10 can prevent water from continuing to flow into the sand storage box 9 to a certain extent, greatly reducing the risk of sand getting damp. The design of the detachable sand storage box 9 and the overlapping edge 10 makes the use of the sandbox more humane. When sand needs to be replenished, the sand storage box 9 can be taken out separately for sand adding operation, avoiding the inconvenience and confusion that may be caused by directly adding sand in the accommodating space 2.
[0044] As a further technical solution, it also includes: a plurality of support blocks 11 are arranged at the bottom of the sand storage box 9. After the sand storage box 9 is installed, the support blocks 11 abut against the bottom of the accommodating space 2.
[0045] In this embodiment, several support blocks 11 are positioned at the bottom of the sand storage box 9. Once installed, these blocks abut the bottom of the storage space 2, providing stable support for the sand storage box 9. Even when the sand storage box 9 is filled with sand, the weight of the sand storage box 9 is effectively distributed, preventing deformation or damage to the bottom of the storage space 2 due to excessive weight. The support blocks 11 reduce direct contact and friction between the sand storage box 9 and the housing 1, minimizing the risk of damage to the housing 1 due to prolonged pressure. This protects the structural integrity of the housing 1 and extends the life of the sandbox.
[0046] As a further technical solution, the box cover 4 includes: a first cover 12 with one end hinged to the box cover 4; a second cover 13 with one end hinged to the first cover 12. The first cover 12 and the second cover 13 jointly control the opening or closing of the opening 3.
[0047] In this embodiment, the double-layer structure of the first cover 12 and the second cover 13 provides the sandbox with enhanced waterproof protection. When exposed to rain or other water sources, the two covers form a multi-layer barrier, effectively preventing water from entering the storage space 2 through the opening 3. Even if a small amount of water does break through the first cover, the second cover provides a final layer of protection, ensuring that the sand remains moisture-proof. The first and second covers 12, 13 are hinged, allowing for greater flexibility in opening and closing the lid 4.
[0048] As a further technical solution, a waterproof adhesive tape is provided at the hinged joint between the first cover 12 and the second cover 13 .
[0049] In this embodiment, the waterproof tape forms a tight waterproof seal at the hinged joint between the first and second covers 12 and 13. When the lid 4 is closed, the tape effectively prevents water from seeping into the sandbox through the gap at the hinge. This ensures that the sand inside the sandbox remains dry even in the event of heavy rainfall or water flow, significantly enhancing the sandbox's waterproofing. Since water cannot enter the hinged joint, moisture-induced rust and corrosion of metal components and degradation of plastic components are reduced. This not only extends the lifespan of the lid 4 but also ensures its flexible opening and closing during long-term use, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
[0050] As a further technical solution, the sides of the box body 1 are welded in a full-weld manner.
[0051] In this embodiment, compared to other welding methods, full welding provides a more reliable seal, reducing the risk of leakage caused by loose welds and providing comprehensive waterproof protection for the sand. This full welding method provides a more secure connection between the sides of the box 1. The strength of the weld matches the material strength of the box 1 itself, allowing it to withstand greater external forces. The robust weld structure reduces the possibility of cracking or leakage in the box 1 during use, reducing the safety risks caused by moisture or leakage of sand.
[0052] As a further technical solution, the invention further comprises: a viewing window 14 is provided on one side of the sand storage box 9 , and after the second cover 13 is opened, the viewing window 14 can be observed, and the viewing window 14 is used to observe the situation inside the sand storage box 9 .
[0053] In this embodiment, the provision of the viewing window 14 allows the user to visually observe the amount of sand within the sand storage box 9 without opening the lid 4. During daily use, the user can always check the remaining sand quantity, allowing for timely replenishment and ensuring the sandbox is functioning properly when needed. For locations where regular sand checks are required, such as firefighting facility management areas, the presence of the viewing window 14 greatly improves inspection efficiency and reduces unnecessary unpacking. When sand is needed, the viewing window 14 helps the user quickly locate the sand, facilitating operation. This can save time and improve the efficiency of emergency response, especially in emergencies.
[0054] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
