[0027] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the exemplary embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not an exhaustive list of all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0028] This embodiment provides a leak-proof building fire water supply device, including a valve body 1, a data box 103, and a data transmission terminal 104.
[0029] The valve body 1 has two ports, which are connected to two connecting pipes 401 respectively. Each of the two connecting pipes 401 is equipped with a flow sensor.
[0030] For example, see Figure 1 The valve body 1 is a tubular structure extending left and right, with interfaces at both ends. These interfaces connect to two connecting pipes 401 to be connected, thus establishing communication between the two pipes. The valve body 1 can also be L-shaped, U-shaped, or T-shaped, depending on the specific requirements. Each connecting pipe 401 contains a flow sensor, such as a flow meter, which is a current technology used to monitor the flow rate within the connecting pipe 401 in real time.
[0031] The data box 103 is mounted on the valve body 1. The data box 103 contains a control module, which is electrically connected to two flow sensors and to the data transmission terminal 104.
[0032] For example, see Figure 1The valve body 1 has an interface at its top, which connects to the data box 103. This connection facilitates wiring, allowing the flow sensor inside the connecting pipe 401 to be electrically connected to the control module inside the data box 103. A data transmission terminal 104 is located at the top of the data box 103. The control module is electrically connected to the data transmission terminal 104, which has wireless signal transmission capabilities. The control module can transmit signals to the mobile terminal of maintenance personnel via the data transmission terminal 104.
[0033] Based on the above structure, the building fire water supply device provided in this embodiment connects two connecting pipes 401 through the valve body 1. Then, the flow sensor in the connecting pipe 401 monitors the flow in the pipe in real time and transmits the information to the control module in the data box 103. When the flow monitored by the flow sensor at a certain point in the pipeline is different from the flow monitored by the adjacent flow sensor, it indicates that there may be a water leakage in the pipe section or valve body between the two flow sensors. The control module transmits the information to the maintenance and management personnel through the data transmission terminal 104 to quickly locate the leaking pipe section so that it can be detected and repaired as soon as possible.
[0034] Based on the above technical solution, in the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the valve body 1 may be provided with a first flange 201 at the interface and a second flange 204 at the end of the connecting pipe 401. The first flange 201 and the second flange 204 are locked together by a first fastener 203 and a first sealing gasket 205 is held between the first flange 201 and the second flange 204.
[0035] For example, see Figure 2-4 A first flange 201 is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the right end of the valve body 1, and a second flange 204 is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the left end of the connecting pipe 401 located on the right side. Both the first flange 201 and the second flange 204 have through holes. The through holes of the first flange 201 and the second flange 204 are aligned, and then the first flange 201 and the second flange 204 can be locked and fixed by the first fastener 203, which can be a bolt. A first sealing gasket 205 is clamped between the first flange 201 and the second flange 204, which can improve the sealing performance.
[0036] Furthermore, it also includes a retaining ring 301. A first protruding ring 206 is provided on the outer wall of the first disc 201, and a second protruding ring 207 is provided on the outer wall of the second disc 204. A first retaining groove 302 and a second retaining groove 303 are provided on the inner wall of the retaining ring 301. The retaining ring 301 is sleeved on the outside of the first sealing gasket 205. The first protruding ring 206 is embedded in the first retaining groove 302, and the second protruding ring 207 is embedded in the second retaining groove 303.
[0037] For example, see Figure 2-4A retaining ring 301 is fitted onto the outside of the first sealing gasket 205, with part of the retaining ring 301 located outside the first flange 201 and the other part located outside the second flange 204. A first protruding ring 206 is coaxially fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of the first flange 201, and a second protruding ring 207 is coaxially fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of the second flange 204. The first protruding ring 206 is adapted to the first retaining groove 302 and is embedded in the first retaining groove 302. The second protruding ring 207 is adapted to the second retaining groove 303 and is embedded in the second retaining groove 303. The retaining ring 301 improves the connection stability between the first flange 201 and the second flange 204, and also provides protection to prevent external influences from damaging the first flange 201 and the second flange 204.
[0038] Sealing gaskets are provided on the inner walls of the first slot 302 and the second slot 303. Sealing gaskets are also provided on the inner wall of the retaining ring 301 between the first slot 302 and the second slot 303.
[0039] For example, see Figure 4 The setting of the sealing gasket can further improve the sealing performance of the retaining ring 301, the first flange 201 and the second flange 204.
[0040] The retaining ring 301 may include a first arc plate 304 and a second arc plate 305. The first arc plate 304 and the second arc plate 305 are arranged opposite to each other. The first end of the first arc plate 304 is hinged to the first end of the second arc plate 305, and the second end of the first arc plate 304 is connected to the second end of the second arc plate 305 by bolts.
[0041] For example, see Figure 5 The first arc-shaped plate 304 and the second arc-shaped plate 305 are arranged opposite to each other to form a ring structure. The right end of the first arc-shaped plate 304 is hinged to the right end of the second arc-shaped plate 305. The left end of the first arc-shaped plate 304 is provided with a connecting plate with a through hole, and the left end of the second arc-shaped plate 305 is also provided with a connecting plate with a through hole. The two connecting plates are fitted together, and the through holes of the two connecting plates are aligned. Then, the two connecting plates can be locked and fixed by bolts, thereby locking and fixing the first arc-shaped plate 304 and the second arc-shaped plate 305.
[0042] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, see again... Figure 1 A third flange can be provided at the top of the valve body 1, and a fourth flange is provided at the bottom of the data box 103. Both the third and fourth flanges have through holes. By aligning the through holes of the third and fourth flanges, the third and fourth flanges can be locked together with bolts, thereby connecting the data box 103 to the valve body 1. This facilitates disassembly, assembly, and subsequent maintenance.
[0043] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, a rubber sleeve 402 is fitted on the outer side of the connecting pipe 401. A buffer pad 403 is provided on the outer wall of the rubber sleeve 402.
[0044] For example, see Figure 3 The rubber sleeve 402 has an opening for easy application or removal from the outside of the connecting pipe 401. A cushioning pad 403 is attached to a location on the rubber sleeve 402 that is easily bumped. The rubber sleeve 402 and the cushioning pad 403 provide double cushioning, effectively protecting the fire-fighting connecting pipe 401 and preventing damage from impacts by hard objects. For example, when workers loosen or tighten the first fastener 203 using tools such as wrenches, the tools often hit the outer wall of the pipe. Excessive force may cause a violent collision, damaging the outer wall of the pipe.
