Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fire extinguisher accessories, and in particular relates to a fire extinguisher pressure indicator. Background Art
[0002] A fire extinguisher is a portable fire-fighting tool containing chemicals used to extinguish fires. Fire extinguishers are common fire prevention equipment, stored in public places or areas where fires may occur. Different types of fire extinguishers contain different components and are designed for different types of fires.
[0003] Fire extinguishers are typically equipped with a pressure gauge to display the gas pressure inside. When the gas pressure is too low, the chemical substances inside the extinguisher cannot be released. When the gas pressure is within a certain range, the chemical substances can be released, and the extinguisher can be used normally. However, when the gas pressure is too high, although the chemical substances can be released, there is a risk of explosion. Therefore, the pressure gauge on a fire extinguisher is a crucial component.
[0004] Most existing pressure indicators use glue to install the pointer into the pressure indicator. During the use of the pressure indicator, if the glue ages, the pointer is prone to falling off, which affects the service life of the pressure indicator. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a fire extinguisher pressure indicator, thereby resolving the issues raised in the background art.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a fire extinguisher pressure indicator, comprising:
[0007] The watch base has a watch dial inside and a protective cover on its top surface.
[0008] A connecting rod, the top of which passes through the gauge base, and an air passage is provided through the connecting rod;
[0009] A pressure sensor is provided, which is located above the gauge base and has an integral pointer on its outer wall. The pressure sensor is connected to the air passage.
[0010] In this technical solution, a cavity is formed by the cooperation between the protective cover and the gauge base. The pressure indicator is installed on the fire extinguisher via a connecting rod. The air pressure inside the fire extinguisher, through the cooperation between the air passage and the air pressure sensor, drives the pointer, which is integrated with the air pressure sensor, to rotate clockwise. This adjustment is based on the internal air pressure of the fire extinguisher. The integrated air pressure sensor and pointer prevent the pointer from detaching due to glue aging, thus extending the service life of the pressure indicator.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the pressure sensing element is a Bourdon tube, and the pointer is made by twisting the front end of the Bourdon tube by 90°.
[0012] In the above technical solution, the bottom outer wall of the connecting rod is provided with a thread, and a screwing part is provided above the thread, and a boss is provided above the screwing part, and the boss is connected to the base.
[0013] In this technical solution, the screw-on part can be used with a wrench to facilitate the disassembly or installation of the pressure indicator.
[0014] In the above technical solution, a fixing ring is further provided at the bottom of the protective cover, and the side of the dial base is turned inward to cooperate with the fixing ring to fix the protective cover, and the boss is turned outward to connect the connecting rod to the dial base.
[0015] In the above technical solution, a placement groove is further provided between the thread and the screwing part, and the placement groove is used to install the sealing ring.
[0016] In this technical solution, the sealing performance between the pressure indicator and the fire extinguisher can be improved by the cooperation between the placement groove and the sealing ring.
[0017] In the above technical solution, furthermore, the outer wall of the boss is provided with limiting members evenly distributed around its circumference, and a connecting groove is provided at the corresponding position of the table base.
[0018] In this technical solution, the cooperation between the limiting component and the connecting groove can prevent the gauge base and the connecting rod from rotating during the installation of the pressure indicator, thus avoiding affecting the accuracy of the pressure indicator display.
[0019] In the above technical solution, a warning structure is further provided on the side of the gauge base, and the warning structure is connected to the air pressure sensor.
[0020] In the above technical solution, the warning structure further includes:
[0021] Mounting bracket, the mounting bracket is disposed on the bottom surface of the meter base, and the mounting bracket and the meter base are connected by screws;
[0022] The warning device is mounted on the top surface of the mounting base and has a built-in battery.
[0023] A connecting post passes through the base and the dial, is located on the refill scale on the dial, and the upper end of the connecting post is made of conductive metal.
[0024] The positive and negative terminals of the alarm are connected to the connecting post and the air pressure sensor, respectively.
[0025] In this technical solution, when the gas pressure in the fire extinguisher is insufficient, when the pointer connected to the gas pressure sensor rotates to the refill mark position, it can connect to the top of the connecting column, so that the alarm can be connected to the power supply, thereby driving the alarm to hum or emit light, so as to remind personnel to replace or maintain the fire extinguisher in time.
[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0027] 1. The fit between the cover and the base creates a cavity. The pressure indicator is mounted to the fire extinguisher via a connecting rod. The internal air pressure of the fire extinguisher, through the air passage and the pressure sensor, causes the pointer, which is integrated with the pressure sensor, to rotate clockwise. This adjustment is based on the internal air pressure of the fire extinguisher. The integrated pressure sensor and pointer prevent the pointer from detaching due to glue aging, thus extending the lifespan of the pressure indicator.
[0028] 2. When the gas pressure in the fire extinguisher is insufficient, when the pointer connected to the gas pressure sensor rotates to the refill mark, it can connect to the top of the connecting column, so that the alarm can be connected to the power supply, thereby driving the alarm to hum or light up, so as to remind personnel to replace or maintain the fire extinguisher in time.

[0046] Furthermore, a placement groove 13 is provided between the thread 8 and the screwing part 9, and the placement groove 13 is used to install the sealing ring 14.
[0047] The fit between the placement groove 13 and the sealing ring 14 can improve the sealing between the pressure indicator and the fire extinguisher.
[0048] Furthermore, the outer wall of the boss 10 is provided with limiting members 11 evenly distributed around its perimeter, and a connecting groove 12 is provided at the corresponding position of the base 1.
[0049] By cooperating with the limiting component 11 and the connecting groove 12, the rotation between the gauge base 1 and the connecting rod 4 during the installation of the pressure indicator can be avoided, thus preventing the pressure indicator from affecting the accuracy of the display.
[0050] Furthermore, a placement groove 13 is provided between the thread 8 and the screwing part 9, and the placement groove 13 is used to install the sealing ring 14.
[0051] The fit between the placement groove 13 and the sealing ring 14 can improve the sealing between the pressure indicator and the fire extinguisher.
