Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a composite pipe, and more particularly to a high-strength water and power supply composite pipe for fire-fighting drones. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of society and economy, there are more and more high-rise buildings with numerous facilities and high population density, which brings severe challenges to the fire protection work of high-rise buildings. In order to carry out fire fighting more quickly, drones will be used in the field of fire fighting. By using fire fighting equipment with drones, the fire fighting equipment can be transported to the location of high-rise fires. By opening the valve on the fire fighting equipment, the fire extinguishing agent can be sprayed towards the fire source through the composite pipe for fire fighting.
[0003] Currently, drone-borne fire extinguishing devices have short flight times and lack dedicated high-pressure resistant water pipes, making it difficult to stably deliver the extinguishing medium. This can easily lead to pipe rupture, requiring significant weight from the drone's power and water supply systems, thus affecting fire extinguishing effectiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to design a composite pipe with high pressure resistance and tensile strength that can deliver both water and power. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-strength water and power supply composite pipe for fire-fighting drones, which realizes that the composite pipe has high pressure resistance and high tensile strength, and can transport both water and power.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A high-strength water and power supply composite pipe for fire-fighting drones includes a pipe body and a water supply pipe. The water supply pipe is sleeved in the pipe body, and multiple layers of metal mesh are sleeved between the pipe body and the water supply pipe. An insulating layer is sandwiched between two adjacent layers of the metal mesh.
[0007] Each layer of the metal mesh is fitted with a conductive ring sleeve on its outer side, and a conductive metal ring is provided on the inner side of the conductive ring sleeve.
[0008] Composite pipes utilize water pipes to deliver water and multi-layered metals to supply electricity.
[0009] Preferably, the metal mesh is a woven tubular structure and is made of conductive metal material.
[0010] Preferably, both the insulation layer and the water pipe are made of insulating materials.
[0011] Preferably, the conductive ring is made of insulating material, and the conductive metal ring is made of conductive material.
[0012] Preferably, one side of the conductive ring sleeve and the conductive metal ring is provided with an opening for the tube body to pass through, and both ends of the conductive ring sleeve are provided with connecting seats. The two connecting seats are provided with the same output end for power output.
[0013] Preferably, the connector includes a conductive end that is electrically connected to a conductive metal ring, and an insulating seat that is sleeved and connected to the conductive ring is provided on the outermost side of the conductive end.
[0014] Preferably, the lead-out end includes the same connecting sleeve that is fitted with the two insulating seats. A lead-out wire is provided through the inside of the connecting sleeve. A fitting end is provided at one end of the lead-out wire near the conductive end, and the fitting end is tightly fitted with the conductive end.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the composite pipe provided by this utility model has higher pressure resistance and higher tensile strength, and can transport both water and power. Specifically, by connecting the pipe body to the water supply pipe and by spacing multiple layers of metal mesh and insulation between the pipe body and the water supply pipe, fire extinguishing media such as water can be transported in the water supply pipe, facilitating fire extinguishing operations by drones. The conductive properties of the metal mesh can also be used to supply power to equipment on the drone, achieving simultaneous supply of water and power. The use of multiple layers of metal mesh increases the tensile strength of the water supply pipe and the pressure resistance of the composite pipe, improving its performance. The transport of water or fire extinguishing agent in the composite pipe can dissipate heat during power transmission, achieving cooling and further improving its performance.
[0016] Furthermore, by using conductive rings on the outside of each layer of metal mesh, the metal mesh can be led outwards, and the metal mesh can be connected to an external circuit using connectors and leads, making it convenient for the composite tube to be connected to an external power source or electrical equipment for power transmission, thus increasing the convenience of power supply for the composite tube.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note: The described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0027] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the composite pipe for fire-fighting drones is different from existing composite pipes which are mostly single-purpose, using a cable for separate power supply and a water pipe 4 for separate water supply. During fire-fighting operations, to reduce the weight burden on the drone due to the power supply and water supply structure, the cable body 1 and the water pipe 4 can be integrated. This increases the pressure resistance of the composite pipe's water supply and facilitates both power and water supply. Furthermore, the transported fire-fighting medium can cool the heat generated during power supply, improving the composite pipe's effectiveness. The composite pipe can be constructed by sleeved water pipe 4 inside the cable body 1, with multiple layers of metal mesh 2 sandwiched between the body 1 and the water pipe 4, and an insulating layer sandwiched between adjacent layers of metal mesh 2. The insulating layer 3 insulates the adjacent metal meshes 2. Then, a conductive ring 5 is fitted onto the outer side of each metal mesh 2, and a conductive metal ring 6 is installed on the inner side of the conductive ring 5. The conductive metal ring 6 can fit snugly against the metal mesh 2, facilitating the transmission of electricity through the connection with external electrical equipment. The high-strength water-powered composite pipe can have conductive rings 5 installed at both ends, serving as the input and output terminals for conducting electricity to the metal mesh 2. The multi-layered metal mesh 2 increases the pressure resistance and tensile strength of the composite pipe, providing favorable conditions for water delivery in the water pipe 4 and enhancing its electrical safety. When water or fire extinguishing agent is introduced into the water pipe 4, the water or fire extinguishing agent can dissipate heat generated during the power supply process, cooling the composite pipe and improving its performance.
[0028] It is worth noting that, for example Figure 2 As shown, the metal mesh 2 can be configured as a braided tubular structure to increase the pressure resistance and tensile strength of the composite pipe. The metal mesh 2 is a conductive metal material, and using existing circuit connection and power supply technology, power can be transmitted to external electrical equipment through the metal mesh 2. At the same time, the insulation layer 3 and the water pipe 4 can both use insulating materials to insulate adjacent metal meshes 2, facilitating the transportation of water and preventing short circuits in the multiple layers of metal mesh 2. The use of multiple layers of metal mesh 2 provides favorable conditions for the transportation of high-pressure water or fire extinguishing agent in the water pipe 4.
[0029] Secondly, to facilitate the safe use of each metal mesh 2, the conductive ring sleeve 5 can be made of insulating material, and the conductive metal ring 6 can be made of conductive material, so that each conductive ring sleeve 5 is insulated from each other, and the connection between the conductive ring sleeve 5 and each layer of metal mesh 2 does not affect each other. When the composite pipe is connected to external electrical equipment, an overall outer protective sleeve can be set on the outside of the metal mesh 2 and the conductive ring sleeve 5 to provide overall insulation protection for the input and output ends of the composite pipe.
[0030] When connecting the conductive ring sleeve 5 to the metal mesh 2, a detachable structure can be provided on the conductive ring sleeve 5, such as... Figure 3 and 4As shown, in some embodiments, an opening for the tube body 1 to pass through can be made on one side of the conductive ring sleeve 5 and the conductive metal ring 6. The conductive ring sleeve 5 can be fitted onto the outside of the tube body 1 through the opening, and the conductive metal ring 6 inside the conductive ring sleeve 5 can be attached to the layer of metal mesh 2. Then, a connecting seat 13 is provided at both ends of the conductive ring sleeve 5, and the connecting seat 13 serves as the connecting end of the conductive ring sleeve 5. Then, the same outlet end 14 is provided outside the two connecting seats 13, and the outlet end 14 is connected to the two connecting seats 13 to realize the lead-out of the metal mesh 2. The outlet end 14 of the composite tube is connected to the power supply terminal of the external power device to facilitate the power supply and use of the layer of metal mesh 2, and realize the circuit connection between the composite tube and the external power device.
[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the connector 13 can be provided with a conductive end 7 at the end of the conductive metal ring 6, and the conductive end 7 is connected to the conductive metal ring 6 by electricity. Then, an insulating seat 8 is provided on the outer side of the conductive end 7. When the conductive ring sleeve 5 is connected to the metal mesh 2, the two ends of the conductive ring sleeve 5 will be aligned with each other, and the two connectors 13 will be attached together. The insulating seat 8 is provided on the outer side of the two connectors 13 to insulate the outside of the connectors 13. The connectors 13 can be connected to the outlet end 14 by passing through the outlet end 14 and the two insulating seats 8.
[0032] Secondly, the outlet end 14 can be a connecting sleeve 10 that is commonly fitted on the outside of the two insulating seats 8. By tightening the connecting sleeve 10 with the two insulating seats 8, the conductive ring sleeve 5 can be clamped on the outside of the metal mesh 2, limiting the position of the conductive ring sleeve 5. Next, an outlet wire 12 is installed through the inside of the connecting sleeve 10. The connecting sleeve 10 is made of insulating material, and a larger diameter fitting end 11 is provided at the end of the outlet wire 12 near the conductive end 7. Both the outlet wire 12 and the fitting end 11 are made of conductive material. When the connecting seat 13 is connected to the outlet end 14, the fitting end 11 and the conductive end 7 are tightly fitted, which can lead out the circuit of the composite tube metal mesh 2, providing convenience for the connection of external electrical equipment of the composite tube and facilitating the power transmission of the composite tube.
[0033] Of course, the above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
