Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a smart fire hydrant. Background Technology
[0002] Fire hydrants are core equipment in fire protection systems used to provide water for firefighting. The water outlet of a fire hydrant is typically sealed with a single-layer sealing plate, and the seal is opened and closed by rotating a valve stem assembly. Frequent use, water flow impact, and excessive tightening can accelerate wear between the sealing plate and the sealing ring, leading to a shorter lifespan for both and potential problems such as incomplete closure and leakage inside the hydrant. This results in water loss from the municipal water supply network or fire water tank, and long-term use poses a risk to the internal sealing of the fire hydrant. Therefore, improvements and optimizations are needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the technical issue this invention aims to resolve is to provide a smart fire hydrant.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model of intelligent fire hydrant is characterized by comprising a fire hydrant body, a fire hydrant seat, a water inlet bend, a valve stem assembly, a first sealing gasket, and a sealing ring. The valve stem assembly includes a main valve stem, a valve plug fixed to the lower end of the main valve stem, a sealing plate arranged sequentially from top to bottom at the lower end of the valve plug, a pre-tensioning spring, a first sealing plate, and a locking screw. The fire hydrant seat includes an upper part that connects to the fire hydrant body and a lower part that connects to the water inlet bend. The lower part of the seat has a lower water flow hole, and the upper part has an upper water flow groove communicating with the lower water flow hole. The inner diameter of the upper water flow groove is larger than that of the lower water flow hole. The inner diameter of the sealing ring is placed at the bottom of the water channel on the valve seat. The sealing plate and the sealing ring form a conical seal. The inner wall of the water channel hole of the valve seat is provided with a lower positioning groove for the installation and positioning of the first sealing gasket. The outer diameter of the first sealing plate is smaller than the inner diameter of the lower positioning groove of the valve seat. The first sealing gasket and the first sealing plate form a seal. The sealing plate is provided with a threaded hole in the middle and a through hole in the middle. The locking screw passes through the through hole of the sealing plate and the preload spring and is then connected to the threaded hole of the sealing plate and the valve plug in sequence. The lower end of the preload spring abuts against the first sealing plate and its upper end abuts against the sealing plate.
[0005] The first sealing plate has sealing plate guide protrusions at both ends, and the first sealing gasket includes a sealing gasket body and a sealing gasket receiving protrusion located in the middle of the outer wall of the sealing gasket body. A sealing gasket upper contact groove is formed between the upper end of the sealing gasket body and the sealing gasket receiving protrusion for docking with the sealing plate guide protrusion.
[0006] The outer wall of the sealing gasket receiving boss is provided with a sealing gasket limiting protrusion, and the side wall of the lower positioning groove of the bolt seat is provided with a lower positioning groove of the bolt seat corresponding to the sealing gasket limiting protrusion.
[0007] The sealing ring is provided with a sealing ring positioning boss and a sealing ring limiting groove. The bottom of the water channel on the bolster seat is provided with an upper positioning groove for inserting the sealing ring positioning boss and an upper inner stop edge of the bolster seat that is opposite to the sealing ring limiting groove. The sealing ring positioning boss and the upper inner stop edge of the bolster seat are connected by screws.
[0008] It also includes a lower support plate located at the lower end of the first sealing plate. The outer diameter of the lower support plate is smaller than the inner diameter of the water flow hole at the lower end of the plug seat. The locking screw passes through the lower support plate, the through hole of the sealing plate, and the pre-tightening spring, and is then sequentially threaded to the threaded hole of the sealing plate and the valve plug.
[0009] The lower end of the sealing plate is provided with a spring limiting groove for limiting the pre-tightening spring.
[0010] The advantages of this intelligent fire hydrant are: the double sealing of the internal water outlet channel of the fire hydrant is achieved between the first sealing gasket and the first sealing plate, and between the sealing ring and the sealing plate, which disperses the water flow pressure, reduces the risk of single-point wear, extends the service life, and has a good sealing effect; the wear between the first sealing gasket and the first sealing plate can be automatically compensated by the pre-tightening spring, maintaining stable sealing pressure and reducing maintenance frequency.
