[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle-mounted fire pump technology, specifically to a manual foam proportioner for vehicle-mounted fire pumps. Background Technology
[0002] Vehicle-mounted fire pumps are key equipment on fire trucks, mainly used to transport water or other fire extinguishing media to respond to fire rescue missions. Vehicle-mounted fire pumps are classified by the media they transport: fire water pumps (transport water), foam liquid pumps (transport foam liquid), and priming fire pumps (transport air).
[0003] Currently, existing vehicle-mounted fire pumps do not have a mixing structure and cannot mix the pumped clean water with foam. Therefore, a manual foam proportioner for vehicle-mounted fire pumps is proposed. The electric ball valve is opened by manually controlling the control panel, allowing foam to flow into the Venturi tube and mix with the clean water flowing into the Venturi tube before being sprayed out.

[0023] A fixing component 2 is provided on the outside of the foam feed pipe 1. The fixing component 2 includes a first collar 201 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the foam feed pipe 1. A long screw 204 is welded to one side of the first collar 201. An internal threaded sleeve 205 is sleeved on the outside of the long screw 204. A hook 206 is rotatably connected to the end of the internal threaded sleeve 205 away from the long screw 204.
[0024] During use, the electric ball valve 3 is opened by manually controlling the control panel 5 to allow the foam to flow through the foam feed pipe 1 to the venturi pipe 4 and mix with clean water. The long screw 204 and the internal threaded sleeve 205 can improve the connection stability between the foam feed pipe 1 and the vehicle-mounted fire pump.
[0025] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a second sleeve ring 202 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the venturi tube 4, an L-shaped connecting plate 203 welded between the second sleeve ring 202 and the first sleeve ring 201, and the manual operation panel 5 mounted on one side of the L-shaped connecting plate 203 by a mounting bracket.
[0026] In use, the L-shaped connecting plate 203 connects the second ring 202 and the first ring 201 to improve the connection stability between the venturi tube 4 and the foam feed tube 1.
[0027] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also includes a flow sensor 6 sleeved on one side of the foam feed pipe 1, and the detection end of the flow sensor 6 is located inside the foam feed pipe 1.
[0028] When in use, the flow sensor 6 can detect the flow rate of foam in the foam feed pipe 1.
[0029] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model also includes a current output terminal of the manual operation panel 5 that is electrically connected to the current input terminal of the electric ball valve 3 via a power cord.
