Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of hose storage technology, and in particular to a hose clamping component and hose storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Water hoses are typically made of high-strength synthetic fibers, rubber, or PVC, possessing characteristics such as flexibility, pressure resistance, and wear resistance. Their primary function is to rapidly and efficiently transport water in various scenarios, such as firefighting, farmland irrigation, or flood drainage. Currently, large-diameter hoses are used for emergency rescue and drainage operations. These hoses are relatively large and heavy after being rolled up. A standard DN250 hose, 20 meters in length, can reach dimensions of 440*380*500mm when rolled up, with a dry weight of 36kg and a wet weight exceeding 40kg. Manual winding is labor-intensive, inefficient, and difficult to control in terms of shape and size after winding. Currently, the common winding method is manual labor or a combination of manual and auxiliary / power tools.

[0003] When winding up fire hoses, fire hose reeling equipment requires manual intervention to secure the hose connectors to the equipment. For example, the fire hose reeling vehicle disclosed in Chinese patent CN202310826155.X uses two linear guide mandrels whose ends are close together to clamp the center connector of the fire hose. However, clamping the hose connector requires manual operation in conjunction with the equipment's clamping mechanism, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The following are specific embodiments of this application, described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, to further illustrate the technical solutions of this application. However, this application is not limited to these embodiments. In the following description, specific details such as particular configurations and components are provided merely to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of known functions and structures have been omitted.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0038] This application provides a hose clamping assembly for use in hose storage equipment, which is simple to operate and provides reliable clamping. Specifically, the hose clamping assembly includes two clamping units located opposite each other for clamping the hose connector from both sides. Each clamping unit includes a rotating shaft and clamping heads. The clamping heads are located at the end of the rotating shaft and include a base and grippers. The base is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft. The grippers are mounted on the base and can rotate relative to the base. As the hose connector is pushed between the two clamping heads along the rotation adjustment direction of the grippers, the grippers on both sides of the clamping heads can adaptively rotate and adjust under the push of the hose connector to jointly hold the hose connector. When the operator places the hose connector between the two clamping heads along the rotation adjustment direction of the grippers, the grippers on both sides of the clamping heads can adaptively rotate until the hose connector is clamped, making the operation simple and the clamping reliable. A detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] refer to Figures 1-5 The hose clamping assembly includes two clamping units 10, which are located opposite each other to clamp the hose connector from both sides. Each clamping unit 10 includes a rotating shaft 11 and clamping heads 12. The clamping heads 12 are located at the end of the rotating shaft 11 and include a base 121 and grippers 122. The base 121 is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 11. The grippers 122 are mounted on the base 121 and can rotate relative to the base 121. As the hose connector W is pushed between the two clamping heads 12 along the rotational adjustment direction of the grippers 122, the grippers 122 of the two clamping heads 12 can adaptively rotate under the push of the hose connector W to jointly clamp the hose connector W. When the operator places the hose connector W between the two clamping heads 12 along the rotational adjustment direction of the grippers 122, the grippers 122 of the two clamping heads 12 can adaptively rotate until the hose connector is clamped.

[0040] The clamping head 12 also includes a tongue 123, a first elastic element 124, a second elastic element 125, and a reset adjustment member 126. The tongue 123 is rotatably mounted on the gripper 122; the first elastic element 124 acts on the tongue 123; when the hose connector W pushes the gripper 122 to rotate forward to the gripping state, the first elastic element 124 drives the tongue 123 to engage in the limiting groove 1211 of the base 121 to restrict the gripper 122 from rotating in the opposite direction; the second elastic element 125 acts on the gripper 122 to apply a spring force to the gripper 122 to prevent reverse rotation; the reset adjustment member 126 is movably mounted on the base 121 and can be activated to push the tongue 123 out of the limiting groove 1211 of the base 121 to remove the restriction of the tongue 123 on the reverse rotation of the gripper 122.

[0041] refer to Figure 4 As the operator inserts the hose connector W between the two clamping heads 12 in the direction of rotation adjustment of the gripper 122, the hose connector W pushes open the gripper 122 of both clamping heads 12, and the gripper 122 on both sides overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic element 125 and rotates in the direction of movement of the hose connector W. (Reference) Figure 5 When the hose connector W pushes the gripper 122 to rotate forward to the gripping state, the first elastic element 124 drives the top tongue 123 to engage in the limiting groove 1211 of the base 121 to restrict the gripper 122 from rotating in the opposite direction. At this time, the second elastic element 125 applies a reverse rotational force to the gripper 122, which makes the top tongue 123 tightly engaged with the limiting groove 1211, and the gripper 122 can be stably maintained in the gripping state.

[0042] When it is necessary to remove the hose connector W from between the two grippers 122, the operator applies an action to the reset adjustment member 126, causing the reset adjustment member 126 to push the top tongue 123 out of the limiting groove 1211 of the base 121, thereby removing the restriction of the top tongue 123 on the reverse rotation of the grippers 122. Therefore, when the top tongue 123 exits from the limiting groove 1211, the grippers 122 can rotate in the reverse direction, allowing the hose connector W to be removed from between the two grippers 122 in the opposite direction. In addition, the second elastic element 125 applies a reverse rotational elastic force to the grippers 122, so that the grippers 122 rotate in the reverse direction synchronously when the hose connector W is removed in the reverse direction; and after the hose connector W is removed, the second elastic element 125 can keep the two grippers 122 in an open state for the next insertion of the hose connector W.

[0043] It should be noted that, in Figure 4 and Figure 5In the structure shown, the hose connector W is inserted from top to bottom between the two clamping heads 12, and during this process, the gripper 122 rotates in the forward direction. The hose connector W is removed from the gripper 122 on both sides from bottom to top, and during this process, the gripper 122 rotates in the reverse direction.

[0044] The first elastic element 124 and the second elastic element 125 can be used to provide elastic force and can be configured as various types of elastic elements, such as springs, as needed. In one embodiment of this application, the first elastic element 124 is a torsion spring and is mounted on the rotating connection between the top tongue 123 and the gripper 122. The second elastic element 125 is a torsion spring and is mounted on the rotating connection between the gripper 122 and the base 121.

[0045] refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment of this application, the reset adjustment member 126 is rotatably mounted on the base 121, and the reset adjustment member 126 is provided with a pull ring 127 for applying the operation. In this design, the pull ring 127 facilitates the operator to apply the operation.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, the gripper 122 is provided with a plurality of elastic elements 1221 to serve as the contact points between the gripper 122 and the hose connector W; and when the gripper 122 is in a gripping state, the plurality of elastic elements 1221 are distributed at different circumferential positions of the hose connector W. The elastic elements 1221 are made of elastic material, and the gripper 122 forms elastic contact with the hose connector W through the elastic elements 1221, which can avoid damage to the hose connector W and prevent slippage. In a specific embodiment, the elastic elements 1221 can be made of polyurethane material. In addition, different types of hose connectors W can be replaced with different elastic elements 1221. Further, the elastic elements 1221 are cylindrical structures.

[0047] refer to Figure 6 The clamping unit 10 also includes a first drive source 13 and a second drive source 14. The first drive source 13 drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate, thereby enabling the unwinding and rewinding of the hose. The second drive source 14 drives the rotating shaft 11 to adjust its position axially, allowing the clamping heads 12 of the two clamping units 10 to move closer to or further away from each other. After the hose is wound up, the second drive source 14 can drive the two clamping units 10 to move further apart, separating the clamping heads 12 on both sides from the hose connector, thus removing the hose. In one specific embodiment, the first drive source 13 is a motor, and the second drive source 14 is a cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, the clamping unit 10 further includes an extension rod 15 and a toggle member 16. The extension rod 15 is arranged on the rotating shaft 11 at the end away from the clamping head 12, and is axially connected to the rotating shaft 11, enabling the rotating shaft 11 to move axially. The toggle member 16 is driven by a second drive source 14 to actuate the extension rod 15, thereby adjusting the position of the rotating shaft 11 axially. Further, a thrust bearing may be provided between the extension rod 15 and the rotating shaft 11 to enable the extension rod 15 to push the rotating shaft 11 to move axially and to allow relative rotation between the extension rod 15 and the rotating shaft 11.

[0049] Specifically, the actuating element 16 is rotatably mounted on the frame, and the second drive source 14 is a cylinder or an electric push rod that can drive the actuating element 16 to move axially. (Reference) Figure 6 A movable engagement point is provided between the actuating element 16 and the extension rod 15. When the actuating element 16 rotates, the extension rod 15 is actuated by the actuating element 16, thereby causing the extension rod 15 to move axially for adjustment. Figure 6 In the structure shown, a groove is provided on the actuating member 16, and a pin is arranged on the extension rod 15, with the pin embedded in the groove of the actuating member 16.

[0050] In one embodiment of this application, the clamping unit 10 further includes a first gear 17 and a second gear 18. The first gear 17 is mounted on the rotating shaft 11 and can drive the rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The axial position of the first gear 17 is fixed and allows the rotating shaft 11 to be axially adjusted. The second gear 18 meshes with the first gear 17 and is powered by the first drive source 13.

[0051] Specifically, the first drive source 13 is a motor, and a first gear 17 is mounted on the shaft 11. The first drive source 13 drives the shaft 11 to rotate via a gear mechanism. The shaft 11 and the first gear 17 mounted on it are connected by a spline, allowing the shaft 11 to move axially relative to the first gear 17. In a specific example, a second gear 18 is arranged on the output shaft of the first drive source 13, and the second gear 18 meshes with the first gear 17. When the output shaft of the first drive source 13 rotates, the second gear 18 drives the first gear 17 to rotate, and the first gear 17 drives the shaft 11 to rotate. In addition, based on the spline connection, the shaft 11 can move axially relative to the first gear 17, and after the shaft 11 is adjusted in axial direction, the first gear 17 can still drive the shaft 11 to rotate based on the spline connection.

[0052] This application embodiment also provides a hose storage device, which includes the hose clamping assembly provided in the previous part. The hose clamping assembly includes two clamping units; the two clamping units are located in opposite positions for clamping the hose connector from both sides; each clamping unit includes a rotating shaft and clamping heads; the clamping heads are arranged at the end of the rotating shaft and include a base and grippers; the base is fixed to the end of the rotating shaft; the grippers are mounted on the base and can rotate relative to the base; as the hose connector is pushed between the two clamping heads along the rotation adjustment direction of the grippers, the grippers of the two clamping heads can adaptively rotate and adjust under the push of the hose connector to jointly hold the hose connector. When the operator places the hose connector between the two clamping heads along the rotation adjustment direction of the grippers, the grippers of the two clamping heads can adaptively rotate until the hose connector is clamped, which is simple to operate and has reliable clamping.
