Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire hydrant casting technology, specifically a fire hydrant casting with anti-corrosion protection. Background Technology
[0002] Fire hydrants, formally known as fire plugs, are fixed fire-fighting facilities whose main function is to control combustibles, isolate oxidizers, and eliminate ignition sources. They are divided into indoor and outdoor fire hydrants. Castings are metal shaped objects obtained by various casting methods. That is, smelted liquid metal is poured, injected, sucked, or otherwise cast into a pre-prepared mold, cooled, and then processed by grinding and other subsequent means to obtain an object with a certain shape, size, and performance. Fire hydrant manufacturing also uses casting methods, but current fire hydrant castings have poor corrosion resistance, resulting in a short service life. Therefore, we propose a fire hydrant casting with anti-corrosion protection. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fire hydrant casting with anti-corrosion protection, which has the advantage of good anti-corrosion effect and solves the problem that the current fire hydrant castings have poor anti-corrosion effect, resulting in short service life.

[0005] Preferably, the second coating layer includes a second corrosion-resistant coating, an elastic coating, and a third corrosion-resistant coating. The second corrosion-resistant coating is an inorganic anti-corrosion coating, the elastic coating is a rubber elastic paint, and the third corrosion-resistant coating is a phenolic epoxy paint.

[0008] Preferably, a base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the casting body, the base is provided with a fixing hole, and a water outlet is provided on the front of the casting body.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] 1. This utility model utilizes a weather-resistant coating with superior weather resistance. Its fluorocarbon bonds exhibit extremely high chemical stability, allowing the coating to maintain its integrity for extended periods in various harsh outdoor environments. It effectively resists ultraviolet radiation, preventing aging and fading, and also possesses excellent water and chemical corrosion resistance, resisting erosion from rain, humid air, and industrial exhaust gases. This further enhances the external protection of the fire hydrant casting, ensuring the fire hydrant maintains a good appearance and performance in outdoor environments. The wear-resistant coating not only provides excellent corrosion resistance but also effectively resists external friction and wear, protecting the first corrosion-resistant coating from mechanical damage. In daily use, it prevents damage to the first coating layer caused by collisions and scratches, extending its service life. The first corrosion-resistant coating is a zinc-rich primer, which allows zinc to preferentially oxidize in corrosive environments, forming a sacrificial anode protection to prevent rusting of the casting substrate and providing excellent corrosion resistance. Simultaneously, the zinc-rich primer has good adhesion to the casting surface, firmly adhering to the metal surface.
[0011] 2. This utility model utilizes an inorganic anti-corrosion coating as the second corrosion-resistant coating, which features high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and impermeability. Inside the fire hydrant, it effectively resists the erosion of acidic and alkaline substances and dissolved oxygen that may be present in the water flow, protecting the inner wall of the casting from corrosion. The elastic coating is made of rubber elastic paint, which has good flexibility and elasticity, buffering the impact of water flow on the inner wall of the fire hydrant, reducing stress concentration caused by water hammer effect, and preventing the coating from cracking and peeling. The third corrosion-resistant coating is made of phenolic epoxy paint, which has excellent corrosion resistance and good tolerance to various chemicals such as water, acids, and alkalis. Its use on the inner wall of the fire hydrant further enhances the protection against corrosive media, and its high hardness enhances the wear resistance of the inner wall, extending the service life of the fire hydrant.

In daily use, it prevents damage to the first coating layer 5 due to collisions, scratches, etc., extending the service life of the first coating layer 5. The first corrosion-resistant coating 503 is a zinc-rich primer, allowing zinc to preferentially oxidize in corrosive environments, forming sacrificial anode protection and preventing damage to the casting.
