[0002] Currently, fire hydrants are an important component of urban fire protection infrastructure, and the quality of their castings plays a crucial role in the smooth operation of firefighting. Existing fire hydrant castings have many shortcomings in structural design, making them unable to effectively cope with complex usage environments. In today's increasingly busy urban traffic, frequent vehicle traffic generates continuous vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted to fire hydrants, easily causing the internal sealing components to loosen, leading to leakage problems. At the same time, in some special circumstances, such as earthquakes or construction impacts, fire hydrants will be subjected to significant impact forces. Due to deficiencies in strength and cushioning design, existing castings are prone to cracking or even breaking, which not only seriously affects the normal use of fire hydrants but also delays firefighting opportunities, posing a potential threat to public safety. Moreover, frequent repairs and replacements increase the maintenance costs of urban fire protection facilities. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0022] Example 1:
[0023] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a vibration-resistant and impact-resistant fire hydrant casting, including a protective shell 1. Side baffles 2 are installed on both the left and right sides of the protective shell 1. Support springs 5 are installed on the inner side of the side baffles 2. A buffer protection plate 3 is fixedly installed on the inner end of the support springs 5. The fire hydrant body 13 is installed inside the protective shell 1. The inner side of the buffer protection plate 3 is attached to one end of the fire hydrant body 13. A rubber support pad 4 is fixedly installed at the center of the outer side of the buffer protection plate 3. The outer side of the rubber support pad 4 is connected to the inner side of the side baffles 2.
[0024] This technical solution effectively buffers external impacts by installing a support spring 5 and a buffer protection plate 3 on the inner side of the side baffle 2, reducing the vibration and impact on the fire hydrant body 13, and improving the fire hydrant's anti-vibration and impact resistance. The bent edges 6 at both ends of the side baffle 2 are made of elastic rubber material, which can further enhance the sealing and impact resistance of the protective shell 1, and also prevent external debris from entering the interior of the protective shell 1. The rubber filling pad 9 on the inner side of the buffer protection plate 3 can fit tightly against the fire hydrant body 13 to further improve the buffering effect, and also prevent the fire hydrant body 13 from shaking inside the protective shell 1. The modular design of the protective shell 1 facilitates installation and maintenance, and reduces maintenance costs.
[0025] Example 2:
[0026] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, both ends of the side baffle 2 are fixedly installed with bent edges 6. The bent part of the bent edge 6 extends to the outside of the end of the protective shell 1 and fits against its end. The outside of the side baffle 2 is bonded with a first impact protection pad 7. The bent edge 6 is made of elastic rubber material.
[0027] Adopting such Figure 1 The technical solution shown has a bent portion of the bent edge 6 extending to the outer side of the end of the protective shell 1 and fitting it therein. This effectively prevents external water, dust, debris, etc. from entering the interior of the protective shell 1, preventing these substances from causing corrosion, blockage, or other damage to the fire hydrant body 13. The bent edge 6, made of elastic rubber material, has a certain elastic buffering capacity. When the fire hydrant is subjected to external impact, the bent edge 6 can deform first, absorbing some of the impact energy and reducing the impact force transmitted to the protective shell 1 and the fire hydrant body 13. This improves the impact resistance of the entire fire hydrant casting and reduces the risk of damage caused by impact.
[0028] Secondly, in the technical solution, a second impact-resistant protective pad 8 is bonded to the outside of the protective shell 1, and two ends of the fire hydrant body 13 penetrate to the outside of the protective shell 1, and the second impact-resistant protective pad 8 is sleeved on the outside of the penetration part; a rubber filling pad 9 is bonded to the inside of the buffer protection plate 3, and the surface of the fire hydrant body 13 is in contact with the inside of the rubber filling pad 9.
[0029] Its adoption is as follows Figure 1 The technical solution shown allows the second impact-resistant protective pad 8 to absorb and disperse the impact force when the fire hydrant is subjected to external collisions or impacts, reducing the direct effect of external forces on the protective shell 1, lowering the possibility of damage such as cracking or deformation of the protective shell 1, and extending the service life of the protective shell 1, thereby ensuring the safety of the internal fire hydrant body 13. The inner side of the rubber filling pad 9 is in close contact with the surface of the fire hydrant body 13, which can tightly wrap the fire hydrant body 13, fill the gap that may exist between the buffer protection plate 3 and the fire hydrant body 13, prevent the fire hydrant body 13 from shaking inside the protective shell 1, further improve the protection effect of the fire hydrant body 13, and at the same time, it can also prevent external debris from entering the gap between the two to a certain extent.
[0030] Example 3:
[0031] This utility model is as follows Figures 1-4 As shown, a sealing top cover 10 is provided on the top of the protective housing 1. A through hole 11 is provided on the top of the sealing top cover 10. Sealing plates 12 are fixedly installed around the bottom of the sealing top cover 10. The sealing plates 12 form a rectangle and the diameter is larger than the upper port diameter formed by the protective housing 1 and the side baffle 2. A mounting base 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fire hydrant body 13. A reinforcing bolt is installed in a ring inside the mounting base 14 and the lower end of the reinforcing bolt extends to the bottom of the protective housing 1. The protective housing 1 and the side baffle 2 together form a rectangular structure and cover the outside of the fire hydrant body 13. The protective housing 1 is an assembled design.
[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing plate 12 at the bottom of the sealing top cover 10 can make the sealing top cover 10 tightly cover the protective shell 1, forming a good sealing effect, which can effectively prevent rainwater, dust, debris and other external objects from entering the interior of the protective shell 1. The design of the sealing top cover 10 makes it easy to open and close the fire hydrant body 13 inside the protective shell 1 when maintenance or repair is required. The staff can remove the sealing top cover 10 to carry out internal inspection, cleaning and maintenance operations, which improves the convenience and efficiency of maintenance.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the fire hydrant is subjected to external impact, the first impact protection pad 7 on the outside of the side baffle 2 will absorb part of the impact force, reducing the direct impact on the side baffle 2. As the impact force continues to be transmitted, the support spring 5 and the buffer protection plate 3 begin to play their role, converting the impact energy into the elastic potential energy of the spring, thereby reducing the impact force on the fire hydrant body 13. The buffer protection plate 3 further buffers and disperses the impact force. The rubber filling pad 9 on its inner side is tightly attached to the fire hydrant body 13, which can effectively prevent the rigid collision between the fire hydrant body 13 and the buffer protection plate 3. The second impact protection pad 8 on the outside of the protective shell 1 can also absorb and disperse the impact force from the outside, protecting the protective shell 1 and the parts through which the fire hydrant body 13 penetrates, preventing these parts from being damaged due to force. The sealing top cover 10 can tightly cover the top of the protective shell 1, forming a good sealing effect, preventing rainwater, dust, debris and other external objects from entering the interior of the protective shell 1, and protecting the fire hydrant body 13 from the corrosion of external environmental factors.
[0034] In normal use, when a fire occurs and a fire hydrant is needed, the sealed top cover 10 is opened, and fire hoses and other equipment are connected through the interface on the fire hydrant body 13 to obtain water from the fire hydrant for fire extinguishing.
