Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fire-fighting equipment, and in particular to fire hose reel devices. Background Technology

[0002] Fire hoses are an essential piece of equipment in fire rescue operations, as firefighters rely on them to quickly lay out water flow paths during firefighting and rescue operations. However, the current common method for using fire hoses is manual laying. While this method meets basic needs to some extent, it presents many inconveniences and safety hazards during the winding and storage process after use.

[0003] While some fire hose reeling devices do exist on the market, most still require significant manual operation. The process is cumbersome, inefficient, and cannot fully automate the reeling process. Manual operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to uneven hose winding due to variations in human hands and fatigue. This uneven winding not only affects performance in subsequent uses but can also damage the hose, increasing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0004] In addition, the storage of fire hoses also presents significant problems. Pre-rolled fire hoses typically require considerable space for storage, especially in fire trucks with limited space, making this method even more inconvenient. Improper storage not only wastes valuable space resources but can also affect the storage and use of other equipment, complicating the dispatch and operation of the entire fire and rescue equipment.

[0005] More seriously, there are significant safety hazards during the manual winding process. Because it requires constant pulling and winding of the fire hose, operators may suffer injuries such as muscle strains or joint damage due to improper operation or fatigue. Especially in emergency situations, operators may cause more serious accidents due to impatience or operational errors, endangering not only their own safety but also potentially hindering the smooth progress of the entire rescue operation.

[0006] In summary, existing fire hose reeling technologies have significant shortcomings in terms of operational complexity, hose quality, storage convenience, and operational safety. These shortcomings not only reduce the efficiency of firefighting operations but also increase the workload and safety risks for firefighters. Therefore, developing a new device capable of automatically reeling in fire hoses and possessing storage capabilities is of great significance for improving the efficiency and safety of firefighting operations. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this application is to overcome at least one deficiency in the existing technology and provide a fire hose reel device that can automatically wind hoses, greatly reducing manpower consumption, improving the quality of the hose rolls, optimizing storage space, ensuring the operational safety of firefighters, and providing more efficient and reliable technical support for fire fighting and rescue operations.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a fire hose reel device, including a movable platform and an electric winding assembly mounted on the movable platform. The movable platform has multiple casters at its bottom and several hose reel placement positions. The electric winding assembly includes a motor, a reduction gear connected to the motor, a clamping shaft connected to the output shaft of the reduction gear, a control board connected to the motor to control its operation, and a battery pack connected to the control board to supply power to the control board and the motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping opening is an elastic clamping opening.

[0010] Furthermore, the control panel has at least one control button for controlling the motor's speed and direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the casters on the mobile platform have a locking function.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping port is made of a high-strength elastic material, such as spring steel or shape memory alloy, to maintain good elasticity and durability; the clamping port has a double-claw structure, with anti-slip textures on the inner side of each claw to increase friction with the fire hose; the clamping port is equipped with a quick-release mechanism, which is a button or wrench, so that the operator can quickly release the fire hose.

The term “and / or” used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items. Example

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses an exemplary structure for achieving the technical objective of this application, specifically a fire hose reel device. Structurally, the device comprises a movable platform 1 and an electric winding assembly 2. The electric winding assembly 2 is mounted on the movable platform 1 and includes a motor 4, a control board, a reduction mechanism, a winding shaft 8, and a battery pack 5. The motor 4 is connected to the control board, which is connected to the battery pack 5, enabling the battery pack 5 to supply power to the motor 4. The control board controls the operating state and speed of the motor 4.

[0026] It should be understood that, as part of the prior art, the circuitry and electrical components of the control board do not need to be disclosed in detail here. The main function of the control board is to receive operating commands and control the start, stop, speed, and direction of motor 4. The control board is modularly designed, integrating necessary electronic components such as a microprocessor, drive circuitry, sensor interfaces, and a power management module. These components work together to ensure precise control of motor 4 and stable operation of the device. The control board design adheres to industry standards and specifications, ensuring operational safety and reliability.

[0027] The movable platform 1 is equipped with multiple casters 6 at its bottom, made of high-strength, wear-resistant material to ensure free movement under various ground conditions. Each caster 6 is equipped with a locking mechanism, which can be locked or released by a simple wrench or foot pedal operation, ensuring the stability of the device during movement or when stationary. For easy rapid deployment, the device can be designed modularly, allowing for quick disassembly and reassembly to adapt to different transport vehicles. For long-distance transport, the device can be placed in a flatbed trailer or container, utilizing existing logistics networks.

[0028] Upon arrival at the operating site, first unlock the casters 6 and move the device to a suitable position. Use the locking function of the casters 6 to secure the platform 1, ensuring device stability. Insert one end of the fire hose or any part of the hose into the clamping port 9 of the electric winding assembly 2, ensuring the clamping port 9 firmly grips the hose. The clamping port 9 is an elastic structure with a certain degree of flexibility and clamping force, capable of firmly clamping the fire hose and preventing slippage or detachment during winding. Start the motor 4 using the control buttons on the control panel, adjust the appropriate speed and direction, and begin winding the fire hose. The control panel features an intuitive user interface that displays the current motor status and battery level, facilitating operator monitoring and adjustments.

[0029] It is important to understand that the clamping port 9, as the core component of the electric winding assembly 2, is ingeniously designed to meet the winding and unwinding requirements of fire hoses. This component uses high-strength elastic materials, such as spring steel or shape memory alloys. These materials not only maintain good elasticity but also ensure durability, allowing the clamping port 9 to maintain its initial performance even after multiple uses. For example, structurally, the clamping port 9 is a double-claw design, with anti-slip textures specially designed on the inner side of each claw, effectively increasing friction with the fire hose and preventing slippage during winding. The elastic mechanism of the clamping port 9 is crucial; it allows the claws to have a preset elastic stroke during clamping and releasing. For example, this stroke is controlled by a precision spring or elastic element, ensuring that the clamping force is both uniform and adjustable to accommodate fire hoses of different diameters and pressures. To simplify the unwinding process, the clamping port 9 is also equipped with a quick-release mechanism, typically a button or wrench, allowing the operator to easily and quickly release the fire hose, improving work efficiency and reducing operational complexity.

[0030] After receiving a command from the control board, motor 4 starts, driving the reduction mechanism. The decelerated power is transmitted to the winding shaft 8. The clamping port 9 at the front end of the winding shaft 8 clamps the fire hose, and the rotation of motor 4 drives the hose to wind evenly. After winding is complete, the motor stops, and the clamping port 9 is released using the release button on the control board, releasing the fire hose. Because the clamping port 9 is elastic, it can be easily released when the wound fire hose needs to be unwound, allowing the fire hose to be easily removed without affecting the disassembly process.

[0031] The rolled-up water hose is placed in placement position 7 of the platform. Placement position 7 is rationally designed to effectively utilize the platform space, ensuring the rolled-up fire hose is stored neatly and orderly for easy retrieval and transportation. When it is necessary to remove the rolled-up fire hose from the device, first ensure the device is stable, then manually remove the hose from placement position 7. Because placement position 7 is designed with the size and weight of the fire hose in mind, it remains stable during storage and will not fall off or be damaged due to movement or vibration.

[0032] The portability of this fire hose reel device lies in its ability to be used with fire trucks. Under normal circumstances, the device is stored inside the fire truck and arrives at the fire scene with it. This design makes the reeling and storage of fire hoses more efficient, reduces on-site preparation time, and improves the response speed of fire rescue operations.

[0033] Move the device to the storage area, ensuring the safe storage of the device and the wound water hose, preparing it for future use. Through these steps, the device significantly improves the efficiency and quality of fire hose winding, reduces the complexity and labor consumption of manual operations, and ensures the neat and convenient storage of fire hoses, greatly enhancing the efficiency and safety of fire rescue operations. This device is not only structurally sound but also fully considers user convenience and safety in actual operation, providing firefighters with efficient and reliable technical support.

[0034] While exemplary embodiments of this disclosure have been described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope thereof. Therefore, all changes and modifications are included within the scope of protection of this disclosure as defined by the claims. This disclosure is defined by the appended claims, and equivalents of those claims are also included.
