Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of fire truck water tanks, and in particular to a miniaturized fire truck water tank. Background Technology

[0002] As a core piece of equipment in urban emergency rescue systems, fire trucks' water-carrying capacity directly impacts the effectiveness of initial fire suppression. Traditional fire truck water tanks often use rectangular steel or polyethylene structures, increasing capacity by enlarging the planar dimensions. However, in the application scenarios of miniaturized fire trucks (body length ≤ 6 meters, gross weight ≤ 8 tons), the following technical bottlenecks exist:

[0003] Small fire trucks need to integrate key equipment such as water pump systems, rescue equipment compartments, and ladder supports. The existing water tank structure requires lateral expansion to increase capacity, directly compressing the equipment installation space. According to actual measurement data, when the water tank volume exceeds 1.5m³... 3 At that time, the effective operating area of ​​the equipment compartment will be reduced by more than 38%, which violates the mandatory provisions on equipment layout spacing in the "General Technical Conditions for Fire Trucks" (GB7956-2014).

[0004] Conventional rectangular water tanks, when fully loaded, cause the vehicle's center of gravity to shift upwards by approximately 0.6-0.8 meters. Combined with the chassis height of small vehicles (typically ≤1.2 meters), this increases the probability of a turning roll angle exceeding 12° by 47%, posing a rollover risk in narrow, sharp-curved roads in older urban areas. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a water tank that can be used on small fire trucks to increase capacity while maintaining driving stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a miniaturized fire truck water tank, which has the advantages of ensuring both water storage capacity and transportation stability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A miniaturized fire truck water tank includes a first tank section, a second tank section, and a third tank section arranged sequentially from top to bottom, wherein the cross-section of the second tank section is larger than that of the third tank section;

[0008] The second housing is equipped with a support member, and the support member contains several wave-dissipating plates;

[0009] The third housing is equipped with a water inlet and several water outlets.

[0010] To achieve the above technical solution, the cross-section of the second tank section is larger than that of the third tank section, resulting in a larger volume for the second tank section. This allows the second tank section to be attached to the inner wall of the fire truck's tank, ensuring the overall capacity of the water tank. Simultaneously, both the inlet and outlet are located on the bottom third tank section, ensuring complete drainage. However, while the second tank section increases the tank's capacity, its center is positioned higher when full, making it prone to swaying during transport. For smaller fire trucks, the smaller floor makes the truck susceptible to swaying with the water flow, hindering operation. Therefore, by installing support components within the second tank section and incorporating wave deflectors within these components, the space inside the second tank is divided into several interconnected small spaces. The water within these spaces is blocked by the wave deflectors, reducing the degree of water flow agitation and achieving peak flow reduction, thus ensuring stability.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the support member includes several vertically arranged support frames, auxiliary frames are provided on both sides of the support frames, the auxiliary frames abut against the side wall of the second box body, and support rods are provided in the support frames.

[0012] The above technical solution enables the auxiliary frame to support and fix the protruding parts of the second box, thereby ensuring the stability of the second box. At the same time, the support rod can prevent the second box from collapsing laterally.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this application, two wave deflectors are provided, each wave deflector is U-shaped, with the openings of the two wave deflectors facing outwards, and the support rod is disposed between the two wave deflectors.

[0014] The above technical solution ensures that the two wave-damping plates and the side wall of the second housing form two spaced intervals, thereby guaranteeing the wave-damping effect.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the first housing is provided with a defoaming component, which includes horizontal baffles arranged alternately, vertical baffles between adjacent surfaces of the two baffles, and a water inlet pipe connected to the water inlet between the vertical baffles.

[0016] The above technical solution enables water to flow into the water tank through the inlet and then into the space between two horizontal baffles through the inlet pipe. The water flow is blocked by the upper horizontal baffle and connected to the lower horizontal baffle, which reduces the impact of water flow and the generation of air bubbles. At the same time, the vertical baffles on both sides can further smooth out and eliminate air bubbles, thereby ensuring the defoaming effect.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this application, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the third housing section.

[0018] The above technical solution is implemented to ensure regular slag removal and cleaning, and to guarantee water storage capacity.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the third box section is provided with a connecting pipe, one end of which is located on the inner top wall of the first box section, and the other end is located outside the third box section.

[0020] The above technical solution enables external air to communicate with the inside of the water tank through the connecting pipe, thereby preventing the water tank from being flattened or deformed by atmospheric pressure or the water from being unable to drain during drainage.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. The cross-section of the second tank section is larger than that of the third tank section, resulting in a larger volume for the second tank section. This allows the second tank section to be attached to the inner wall of the fire truck's body, ensuring the overall capacity of the water tank. Simultaneously, both the inlet and outlet are located on the bottom third tank section, ensuring complete drainage. However, while the second tank section increases the water tank's capacity, its center is positioned higher when full, making it prone to swaying during transport. In smaller fire trucks, the smaller floor makes the truck susceptible to swaying with the water flow, hindering operation. Therefore, by installing support components within the second tank section, and incorporating wave deflectors within these components, the space inside the second tank is divided into several interconnected smaller spaces. The water within these spaces is blocked by the wave deflectors, reducing the degree of water flow agitation and achieving peak flow reduction, thus ensuring stability. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] This application discloses a miniaturized water tank for fire trucks. (Refer to...) Figure 1-4 The water tank of the miniaturized fire truck includes a first tank section 1, a second tank section 2, and a third tank section 3 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The cross-section of the second tank section 2 is larger than that of the third tank section 3. A support member 4 is installed inside the second tank section 2, and several baffles 5 are installed in the support member 4. The third tank section 3 is provided with an inlet 31 and several outlets 32. That is, because the cross-section of the second tank section 2 is larger than that of the third tank section 3, the volume of the second tank section 2 is larger than that of the third tank section 3, which allows the second tank section 2 to be attached to the inner wall of the fire truck body, thereby ensuring the overall capacity of the water tank. Meanwhile, both the inlet 31 and the outlet 32 ​​are located on the bottom third tank 3 to ensure complete drainage. However, while the second tank increases the water tank capacity, its center is located at the top when full of water, which can cause it to sway during transportation. For miniaturized fire trucks, the small floor of the fire truck body can cause the fire truck to sway with the water flow in the tank, making it difficult to drive and operate. Therefore, by installing a support member 4 in the second tank and a wave deflector 5 in the support member 4, the space inside the second tank is divided into several interconnected small spaces by the wave deflector 5. The water in the space is blocked by the wave deflector 5 to reduce the degree of water flow, thereby achieving the effect of peak reduction and ensuring stability.

[0031] The support member 4 includes several vertically arranged support frames 41, with auxiliary frames 42 on both sides of each support frame 41. The auxiliary frames 42 abut against the side wall of the second housing part 2. Support rods 43 are installed in the support frames 41, so that the auxiliary frames 42 support and fix the protruding parts of the second housing part 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the second housing part 2. At the same time, the support rods 43 can prevent the second housing part 2 from collapsing laterally. Two wave deflectors 5 are provided, which are U-shaped and have their openings facing outwards. The support rods 43 are placed between the two wave deflectors 5, so that the two wave deflectors 5 and the side wall of the second housing part 2 form two spaced spaces, thereby ensuring the wave deflection effect.

[0032] Meanwhile, to prevent air bubbles from forming during water injection into the water tank, which could cause deviations in the water volume, a defoaming component 6 is installed inside the first tank body 1. The defoaming component 6 includes horizontal baffles 61 arranged vertically and vertically, with vertical baffles 6261 between adjacent baffles. A water inlet pipe 63 connected to the water inlet 31 is installed between the vertical baffles 6261. This allows water to flow into the water tank through the water inlet 31 and then into the space between the two horizontal baffles through the water inlet pipe 63. Because the water flow is blocked by the upper horizontal baffle 61 and connected to the lower horizontal baffle 61, the impact of the water flow and the generation of air bubbles are reduced. At the same time, the vertical baffles 6261 on both sides can further smooth out and eliminate air bubbles, thereby ensuring the defoaming effect.

[0033] The third tank section 3 is equipped with a connecting pipe 7. One end of the connecting pipe 7 is located on the inner top wall of the first tank section 1, and the other end is located on the outside of the third tank section 3. This allows external air to communicate with the inside of the water tank through the connecting pipe 7, thereby preventing the water tank from being flattened or deformed by atmospheric pressure or the water from being unable to drain during drainage. The bottom of the third tank section 3 is equipped with a drain outlet 33 for periodic sludge removal and cleaning to ensure water storage capacity.

[0034] The implementation principle of the water tank for the miniaturized fire truck in this application embodiment is as follows: the cross-section of the second tank part 2 is larger than that of the third tank part 3, thereby making the volume of the second tank part 2 larger than that of the third tank part 3, so that the second tank part 2 can be attached to the inner wall of the fire truck body, thus ensuring the capacity of the entire water tank; at the same time, the inlet 31 and the outlet 32 ​​are both set on the bottom third tank part 3, thereby ensuring the completeness of drainage. However, while the setting of the second tank can increase the capacity of the water tank, its center is located at the top when it is full of water, which makes it easy to shake during transportation. For miniaturized fire trucks, the bottom plate of the fire truck body is small, which makes the fire truck easy to shake with the water flow in the water tank, making it difficult to drive and operate. Therefore, by setting a support member 4 in the second tank and setting a baffle 5 in the support member 4, the space in the second tank is divided into several interconnected small spaces by the baffle 5. The water in the space is blocked by the baffle 5 to reduce the degree of water flow, thereby achieving the effect of peak reduction and ensuring stability.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
