It is to be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a fire rescue clothing washing and drying device mainly consists of three parts: a main frame, a support frame assembly, and a washing and drying assembly. The components work together to form a complete washing and drying system.

[0042] The main frame adopts a hollow, interconnected structure design, including a U-shaped base frame 100 and a gantry frame 110 mounted on the base frame 100. The gantry frame 110 consists of horizontal pipes 120 and two vertical pipes 130 on both sides, with the vertical pipes 130 connected to both sides of the base frame 100 to form a stable fluid channel network. This structure ensures the stability of the device while providing an efficient path for the flow of water and hot air. The base frame 100 is equipped with casters 300 with locking devices (not shown in the figure), allowing the device to be moved flexibly and fixed in position as needed to meet the requirements of different usage scenarios. The base frame 100 also has a drain pipe 290 and a switch valve 220 to facilitate the rapid discharge of wastewater after cleaning, maintaining a clean working environment.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support frame assembly includes multiple inverted U-shaped clothes racks 140, arranged downwards along the horizontal tube 120. The clothes racks 140 have a hollow structure, communicating with the interior of the horizontal tube 120. Evenly distributed through holes 150 on the frame ensure that water and hot air can fully cover the surface of the protective clothing. A vertically downward spray pipe 230 is also provided in the middle of the clothes rack 140 to further enhance the cleaning effect. Shoe racks 180 are provided on both sides of the base frame 100, such as... Figure 3 As shown, it includes a combination of long tubes 190 and short tubes 200, specifically designed for securing fire boots. Through-holes 150 on the tubes ensure thorough cleaning and drying both inside and outside the boot. Figure 4 As shown, a hanging pipe 210 is installed on the vertical pipe 130 for hanging small equipment such as helmets and gloves. The shape of the hanging pipe 210 is not limited, allowing for the simultaneous processing of various protective equipment. Each branch (clothes rack 140, shoe rack 180, hanging pipe 210) is equipped with an independent switch valve 220, which can flexibly adjust the washing and drying intensity of each part according to actual needs, achieving precise control.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the washing and drying assembly is the core functional module of the device, including key components such as the quick-connect interface 160, spray heads 170, and venturi tubes 240. The quick-connect interface 160 connects to the base frame 100 and can be connected to a water hose or a hot air blower (not shown in the figure, but can be selected according to actual conditions) to quickly switch between washing and drying modes. The spray heads 170 are distributed along the horizontal pipe 120 on both sides of the clothes rack 140, forming a three-dimensional spray network to ensure thorough cleaning. The venturi tubes 240 are located at the front end of the water hose, and through the coordinated action of the water inlet 250, detergent suction inlet 260, and mixing outlet 270, they achieve automatic and precise mixing of the detergent, significantly improving cleaning effect and ease of operation. In addition, the device is equipped with an external spray gun 280 for targeted cleaning of stubborn stains, further enhancing cleaning capabilities.

[0045] The device operates scientifically and rationally: during cleaning, water flows through the Venturi tube 240, mixes with the cleaning agent, and then enters the main frame through the quick-connect interface 160. The protective suit is then thoroughly rinsed through the spray heads 170 and spray pipes 230. During drying, residual water is first drained through the drain pipe 290, and then a hot air blower is switched to supply hot air to the system for rapid drying of the equipment. Throughout the process, independent on / off valves 220 on each branch allow for differentiated treatment of different equipment, while the casters 300 facilitate equipment movement and adjustment.

[0046] The innovative design of this utility model brings significant benefits: the integrated washing and drying function greatly shortens equipment maintenance time, enabling protective equipment to quickly return to combat readiness; the three-dimensional washing and drying network ensures that all types of equipment are thoroughly cleaned and dried; the modular design improves space utilization and optimizes the equipment management process of fire stations; the scientific fluid channel design and independent control function improve energy efficiency; and it avoids the damage to equipment materials caused by traditional sun exposure methods, effectively extending the service life of the equipment. This device is easy to operate, highly adaptable, and provides reliable technical support for modern fire and rescue operations.
