Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a fire hose maintenance and cleaning device, including a base plate 1, a cleaning box 3 fixedly connected to the base plate 1, and a fire hose cleaning component 4 provided on the cleaning box 3.

[0029] In this invention, the cleaning component 4 located on the cleaning box 3 can automatically clean the fire hose passing through the cleaning box 3, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the fire hose.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the cleaning component 4 includes a rotating cover 41 hinged to the cleaning box 3. A water storage tank 42 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cleaning box 3. A water guide pipe 43 with one end penetrating through and extending to the inside of the cleaning box 3 is connected to the lower end of the water storage tank 42. A squeezing roller 44 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning box 3 and the rotating cover 41. A rotating shaft 45 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the cleaning box 3. A brush roller 46 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 45. A set of brush plates 47 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the cleaning box 3, and the brush plates 47 are symmetrically distributed on the upper and lower sides of the brush roller 46. A transmission component 49 for driving the rotating shaft 45 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 45 penetrating through the cleaning box 3. A drain pipe 410 with one end penetrating through the bottom plate 1 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the cleaning box 3. The inner bottom wall of the cleaning box 3 is "V" shaped, so that the water after cleaning is guided to the drain pipe 410 for discharge.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the fire hose to be cleaned is pulled around the brush plate 47 and brush roller 46 and then wound up by the winding rod 26, the fire hose passing through the cleaning box 3 can be automatically cleaned by the water sprayed by the rotating brush roller 46 and brush plate 47, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. After cleaning, the fire hose can be squeezed out by the rotating cover 41 and the squeezing roller 44 on the cleaning box 3 to remove some water, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0032] It should be noted that the rotating cover 41 and the cleaning box 3 are provided with material passage holes 411 for fire hoses to pass through. The extrusion roller 44 is rotatably connected to the material passage hole 411 on the left side, while the top extrusion roller 44 is rotatably connected to the rotating cover 41. After the rotating cover 41 is closed, it can drive the extrusion rollers 44 on the upper and lower sides to come into contact and squeeze the fire hose passing through the extrusion roller 44, forcing out most of the water carried on the fire hose.

[0033] The brush plate 47 is arc-shaped and has several water holes 48. These water holes 48 are equidistantly distributed in an arc shape on the brush plate 47, so that when the water pipe 43 discharges water, some of the water can flow through the water holes 48 to the fire hose being washed, while some of the water can be guided through the top brush plate 47 to the unwashed area and the washed area of ​​the fire hose.

[0034] In addition, the end of the water pipe 43 located inside the cleaning box 3 is L-shaped, and a valve is installed at the end of the water pipe 43 that is connected to the water storage tank 42. By opening the valve on the water pipe 43, the water in the water storage tank 42 can be guided through the water pipe 43 to the cleaning box 3.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, a retractor 2 for winding fire hoses is provided on the base plate 1. The retractor 2 includes a support plate 21 fixedly connected to the base plate 1, a retractor 26 rotatably connected to the support plate 21, a sliding plate 22 slidably connected to the base plate 1, and a rotating handle 25 located on the outer side of the end of the retractor 26 rotatably connected to the sliding plate 22. A threaded rod 24 extending into the base plate 1 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the sliding plate 22. A baffle 23 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the retractor 26. The end of the retractor 26 located inside the rotating handle 25 is cross-shaped, and the specifications of the inner side of the rotating handle 25 are adapted to the specifications of the cross end of the retractor 26, so that the retractor 26 extending into the rotating handle 25 can rotate together with the rotating handle 25.

[0036] In this embodiment, after the winding rod 26 has finished winding the cleaned fire hose, the sliding plate 22 can be pulled away from the winding rod 26 by rotating the threaded rod 24 to remove the wound fire hose, thus eliminating the need for manual winding and further improving cleaning efficiency.

[0037] It should be noted that the base plate 1 has a groove for sliding the sliding plate 22. The lower end of the sliding plate 22 is L-shaped, and a slider extending to the inside of the groove is fixedly connected to its L end. The slider is slidably connected to the groove. The L end of the sliding plate 22 has a threaded hole located outside the threaded rod 24, and the threaded hole and the thread on the outside of the threaded rod 24 are mutually engaged. The rotating threaded rod 24 abuts against the sliding plate 22.

[0038] The transmission component 49 includes two pulleys that are fixedly connected to the ends of the take-up rod 26 and the rotating shaft 45, respectively. A transmission belt is sleeved on the outer side of the pulleys, so that the rotating take-up rod 26 can drive the rotating shaft 45 to rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the pulleys and the transmission belt, thereby driving the brush roller 46 on the rotating shaft 45 to rotate.

[0039] The working principle in the above embodiments is as follows:

[0040] By pulling the rotating cover 41 to open, the fire hose to be cleaned is placed on the base plate 1, and the end of the fire hose is pulled around the brush plate 47 and brush roller 46 and then wound up by the winding rod 26. After opening the valve on the water pipe 43, the rotating cover 41 is closed and the rotating handle 25 is rotated to drive the winding rod 26 to wind up the fire hose.

[0041] During the process of winding the fire hose, when the rotating handle 25 drives the winding rod 26 to rotate, the transmission component 49 can also drive the rotating shaft 45 and the brush roller 46 to rotate synchronously. This allows the fire hose passing through the cleaning box 3 to be automatically washed and cleaned by the water sprayed by the rotating brush roller 46 and the bristles on the brush plate 47. When the cleaned fire hose is discharged along the left feed hole 411, it can be squeezed out by the closed and pressed rotating cover 41 and the squeezing roller 44 on the cleaning box 3. After the threaded rod 24 is separated from the bottom plate 1, the rotating handle 25 on the sliding plate 22 can be pulled away from the winding rod 26 with a certain gap, and the wound fire hose can be taken out from the winding rod 26, thus completing the cleaning of the fire hose.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
