Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire hose technology, and more specifically to a quick-drying fire hose. Background Technology

[0002] Fire hoses are essential tools used in firefighting operations to transport extinguishing agents (mainly water), and are widely used in building fire fighting, forest fire fighting, and other firefighting scenarios that require large amounts of water.

[0003] After the water hose is used, there will still be moisture on the inner wall, especially when it needs to be rolled up. At this time, the space inside the water hose is more likely to form a sealed space, which can easily breed bacteria and mold, produce odors or accelerate aging.

[0004] Although there is already a proposal, as shown in "Application No.: CN202410424060.X, A quick-drying and moisture-proof fire hose and its production process", which states that "the material made of the braided thread 11 is quick-drying, which can achieve the effect of quick-drying", it is not aimed at the internal quick-drying of the fire hose.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a fire hose that can be dried more quickly from the inside. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-drying fire hose in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model proposes a quick-drying fire hose, comprising:

[0009] Water hose body;

[0010] It also includes multiple sets of raised rings that are evenly arranged and fixed in the direction of water flow inside the main body of the water hose, and there is a gap between each pair of adjacent raised rings;

[0011] Multiple sets of raised rings are fixed to the inside of the hose body;

[0012] The raised ring is composed of multiple evenly distributed ring-shaped protrusions, with a gap between each pair of adjacent protrusions.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the protrusion is in the form of an arc-shaped protrusion.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the protrusions are made of a soft material, which is thermoplastic polyurethane.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the protrusion is connected to the inner wall of the water hose body in an arc transition.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a desorption assembly fixed to the inner wall of the water hose body and the outer side of multiple sets of protruding rings.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the desorption component includes an adsorption layer disposed on the inner wall of the water hose body and the outer side of multiple sets of protruding rings, and a hydrophobic coating fixed on the outer side of the adsorption layer.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] By evenly setting multiple protrusions on the inner wall of the hose body, it is ensured that the inner wall of the hose body is not easy to form a sealed space after being glued together, thereby reducing the possibility of the hose body sticking due to water retention. Especially when it is rolled up, it improves the air circulation in the hose body to speed up drying. The de-adhesion components set on the inner wall of the hose body and the outside of the multiple sets of protruding rings can reduce the adhesion of water inside the hose body, thereby reducing water resistance and reducing the amount of residual moisture.

[0022] Reference numerals: Water hose body-1, protrusion-2, desorption component-3, adhesion layer-31, hydrophobic coating-32. Detailed Implementation

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown in this embodiment, a quick-drying fire hose is proposed, comprising:

[0025] Water hose body 1;

[0026] It also includes multiple sets of raised rings evenly arranged in the direction of water flow towards the inside of the water hose body 1, and there is a gap between each pair of adjacent raised rings;

[0027] Multiple sets of raised rings are fixed to the inner side of the water hose body 1;

[0028] As described above, the raised ring is formed by a plurality of raised points 2 evenly distributed in a ring on the inner side of the hose body 1. At the same time, there is a gap between each pair of adjacent raised points 2 (i.e. they do not contact each other), so that the inhibiting force on the hose body 1 when it deforms is small and it is easier to wind up.

[0029] The raised ring is composed of multiple evenly distributed ring-shaped protrusions 2, and there is a gap between each pair of adjacent protrusions 2;

[0030] As described above, the multiple sets of raised rings are evenly arranged from left to right on the inner side of the hose body 1. Similarly, there is a gap between each pair of adjacent raised rings (i.e. they do not contact each other), so that the inhibiting force on the hose body 1 when it deforms is small and it is easier to wind up.

[0031] After evenly setting multiple protrusions 2 on the inner wall of the water hose body 1, it can be ensured that the inner wall of the water hose body 1 is not easy to form a sealed space after being glued together, so as to reduce the possibility of the water hose body 1 sticking due to water retention, especially when it is rolled up, and improve the air circulation in the water hose body 1 to speed up drying.

[0032] Among them, the protrusion 2 is an arc-shaped protrusion, which can evenly distribute pressure, reduce local stress concentration, and reduce the phenomenon of water accumulation.

[0033] Among them, the protrusion 2 is made of soft material, which provides a soft function to match the synchronous adaptability of the water hose body 1 when it needs to be bent. It has a good performance and reduces the possibility of the protrusion 2 falling off. The soft material is thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which has flexibility, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and can also be well combined with the materials of the inner wall of the water hose (such as PVC or rubber).

[0034] Among them, the protrusion 2 is connected to the inner wall of the water hose body 1 by an arc-shaped transition, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the position where the outer periphery of the protrusion 2 connects to the inner wall of the water hose body 1 is a concave arc-shaped surface. In this way, when the water hose body 1 bends, the arc-shaped surface can provide better support and reduce the contact area between the protrusion 2 and the inner wall of the water hose body 1.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the difference between it and Embodiment 1 is that it also includes a desorption component 3 fixed to the inner wall of the water hose body 1 and the outer side of multiple sets of protruding rings, which is used to reduce the adhesion of water inside the water hose body 1, so as to reduce water resistance and reduce the amount of residual water.

[0037] The specific structure of the desorption component 3 is shown below:

[0038] The desorption component 3 includes an adsorption layer 31 disposed on the inner wall of the hose body 1 and the outer side of multiple sets of protruding rings, and a hydrophobic coating 32 fixed on the outer side of the adsorption layer 31; the adsorption layer 31 is pre-disposed on the inner wall of the hose body 1 to improve the connection strength of the subsequent hydrophobic coating 32, and the hydrophobic coating 32 can be polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0039] The coating layer 31 can be formed on the inner wall of the plasma-treated water belt body 1, and then a hydrophobic coating layer 32 can be applied to the coating layer 31 by spraying or dipping.

[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
