Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fire protection facilities technology, specifically relating to a water suction pipe placement rack for a water tank foam fire truck. Background Technology
[0002] Water tanker foam fire trucks are among the most common types of fire trucks. As is well known, fire trucks often rely on water pumps to draw water from sources for firefighting operations. The ability to quickly and stably draw water using negative pressure generated by the pump is inseparable from rigid suction hoses. These hoses are made of robust materials and are not easily deformed by negative pressure during the suction process, maintaining a stable pipe diameter and water flow channel. This ensures the stability and continuity of water intake, allowing the fire truck to efficiently obtain water. Furthermore, fire trucks need to cope with various environments. In complex terrains such as rugged mountain roads and narrow streets, rigid suction hoses, with their rigidity and length, can flexibly adapt to different suction positions and angles, enabling the fire truck to successfully draw water under various conditions. Therefore, rigid suction hoses are an indispensable piece of equipment for water tanker foam fire trucks. Typically, fire trucks are equipped with multiple hoses that can be interconnected. Rigid suction hoses are used to extend the length to meet the requirements of water suction distance. These rigid suction hoses are generally made of materials such as rubber and polyurethane in different specifications and sizes. The hose body is very tough and has a certain degree of elasticity. They are usually placed on the roof of fire trucks and fixed by fastening racks. The disadvantages are: First, firefighters need to climb to the roof to operate them when they are used and stored, which is very time-consuming and laborious. In the race against time in firefighting, every bit of time and energy should be used wisely. Second, as the amount of firefighting equipment on fire trucks gradually increases, the roof space is about to be exhausted, and there is an urgent need to make room for more equipment. Moreover, water often accumulates in the cavity of rigid water hoses. The water flowing on the roof is not conducive to the storage of other firefighting equipment on the roof. Therefore, the industry urgently needs a rigid suction hose placement rack for water tank foam fire trucks that does not occupy a lot of space in the vehicle and can quickly access and place rigid water hoses.
[0003] In view of the above, it is necessary to design a water suction hose storage rack for water tank foam fire trucks that is simple in structure, occupies a small area, allows for quick access to rigid water hoses, and facilitates drainage. To this end, the applicant has made a beneficial design, and the technical solution described below arose from this background. Utility Model Content

[0008] In another specific embodiment of this utility model, a connecting beam is installed between the front column and the rear mounting bracket at both ends along the length of the bracket. The connecting beam is disposed on the top of the corresponding front column and the rear mounting bracket and is connected and fixed to the front column and the rear mounting bracket respectively by fasteners.
[0009] In another specific embodiment of this utility model, a side plate hole is provided on the side plate at the position corresponding to each front column and each rear mounting bracket, and a side plate hole screw is provided in each side plate hole. The side plate is connected and fixed to the corresponding front column and rear mounting bracket by the side plate hole screw.
[0010] In another specific embodiment of this utility model, the base plate is provided with a set of drainage holes spaced apart along its length.
[0011] In a further specific embodiment of this utility model, the guide roller is a nylon roller and its two ends abut against the corresponding guide roller fixing plate, and the two ends of the guide roller are respectively connected to the corresponding guide roller fixing plate by a guide roller screw.
[0012] In a further specific embodiment of this utility model, the bracket is integrally bent from a steel plate, and its base plate, a pair of inclined plates and a pair of side plates are integrally formed when the steel plate is bent.
[0013] The present invention, by adopting the above-mentioned structure, has the following beneficial effects: First, due to the structure of longitudinally spaced brackets and guide rollers blocking the displacement of the rigid suction pipe, and the structure of guide rollers supporting the rigid suction pipe to help it slide out or in, the area occupied by the rigid suction pipe is greatly saved and the loading and unloading speed is effectively improved, thereby improving the efficiency of fire fighting; Second, the placement rack can be directly installed on the side of the vehicle compartment without occupying the roof space, which not only improves the space utilization of the fire truck, but also further improves the efficiency of firefighters in actual combat.
