Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of outdoor fire hydrant technology, specifically to an outdoor fire hydrant based on the Internet of Things. Background Technology
[0002] Outdoor fire hydrants, also known as outdoor fire hoses, are fixed water supply facilities installed on the fire water supply network outside buildings. They are mainly used by fire trucks to draw water from municipal or outdoor pipe networks for fire fighting, and can also be directly connected to water hoses and nozzles for fire fighting. They are key equipment for extinguishing fires.
[0003] In municipal firefighting operations, outdoor fire hydrants are required. Traditional outdoor fire hydrants have a simple structure and lack self-inspection mechanisms, making it impossible to remotely monitor their damage via the Internet of Things, which leads to the inability to repair them in a timely manner.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to redesign and modify outdoor fire hydrants to give them a self-inspection mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, the present invention aims to provide an outdoor fire hydrant based on the Internet of Things (IoT), which has the advantage of a self-inspection structure. This solves the problem that traditional outdoor fire hydrants have simple structures, lack self-inspection structures, and cannot remotely monitor the damage of outdoor fire hydrants via the IoT, thus making it impossible to repair outdoor fire hydrants in a timely manner.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an outdoor fire hydrant based on the Internet of Things, including an above-ground water outlet pipe, the bottom of which is connected to an underground water inlet pipe;
[0007] A placement box is fixedly connected to the rear side of the ground water outlet pipe. A gyroscope is fixedly connected to the upper front side of the inner wall of the placement box. A 5G module is fixedly connected to the middle front side of the inner wall of the placement box. A control terminal is fixedly connected to the lower front side of the inner wall of the placement box.
[0008] A vibration sensor is connected to the front of the underground water inlet pipe, a liquid flow sensor is connected to the left side of the underground water inlet pipe, and a liquid pressure sensor is connected to the right side of the underground water inlet pipe.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, an ambient temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the top left side of the above-ground water outlet pipe.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an audible and visual alarm is fixedly connected to the top right side of the above-ground water outlet pipe.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a liquid temperature sensor is connected to the rear side of the underground water inlet pipe.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the outer surfaces of the vibration sensor, liquid flow sensor, liquid pressure sensor, and liquid temperature sensor are all provided with protective shells, and the inner surface of the protective shells is fixedly connected to the surface of the underground water inlet pipe.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the protective shell is made of stainless steel and is circular in shape.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the placement box is made of aluminum alloy and is rectangular in shape.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] 1. This utility model first detects the physical position of outdoor fire hydrants using a gyroscope and vibration sensor. The monitoring data is then analyzed in real time using a control terminal. When an outdoor fire hydrant is deformed or damaged due to an external impact, the gyroscope detects a change in the position and shape of the hydrant, and the vibration sensor detects a large vibration. At this time, the control terminal sends a 5G signal via a 5G module to send the damage information of the outdoor fire hydrant to the mobile phone of the supervisor, reminding the supervisor so that the outdoor fire hydrant can be repaired in a timely manner.
[0017] 2. This utility model can monitor the ambient temperature by setting an ambient temperature sensor, and remind supervisors when the temperature is high enough to cause water to freeze. Attached Figure Description

A 5G module 5 is fixedly connected to the middle front side of the inner wall of the placement box 3.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 An audible and visual alarm 11 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the ground water outlet pipe 1.
[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up an audible and visual alarm 11, it is possible to alert people around when an outdoor fire hydrant is damaged.
[0031] refer to Figure 2 A liquid temperature sensor 12 is connected to the rear side of the underground water inlet pipe 2.
[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a liquid temperature sensor 12, the water temperature can be monitored, and the supervisor can be reminded when the water temperature is too low and about to freeze.
[0033] refer to Figure 2The outer surfaces of the vibration sensor 7, liquid flow sensor 8, liquid pressure sensor 9 and liquid temperature sensor 12 are all provided with protective shells 13, and the inner surface of the protective shells 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the underground water inlet pipe 2.
[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a protective shell 13, the vibration sensor 7, liquid flow sensor 8, liquid pressure sensor 9 and liquid temperature sensor 12 can be protected to prevent them from directly contacting the soil.
[0035] refer to Figure 1 The protective shell 13 is made of stainless steel and is circular in shape.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the position and shape of the outdoor fire hydrant are detected by the gyroscope 4, and the vibration of the outdoor fire hydrant is detected by the vibration sensor 7. The monitoring data is transmitted to the control terminal 6, which analyzes the monitoring data in real time. When the outdoor fire hydrant is deformed or damaged due to external impact, the gyroscope 4 detects a change in the position and shape of the fire hydrant, and the vibration sensor 7 detects a large vibration. At this time, the control terminal 6 sends a 5G signal through the 5G module 5 to send the damage information of the outdoor fire hydrant to the mobile phone of the supervisor, reminding the supervisor to repair the outdoor fire hydrant in a timely manner. Secondly, the water flow and pressure at the underground water inlet pipe 2 of the outdoor fire hydrant are detected by the liquid flow sensor 8 and the liquid pressure sensor 9. The control terminal 6 analyzes and judges the detection data. When the detection data deviates too much from the preset data, the control terminal 6 sends the information to the mobile phone of the supervisor through the 5G module 5, reminding the supervisor to repair the underground pre-buried pipe in a timely manner.
