[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] This utility model discloses a fire hydrant with overpressure or water shortage alarm function based on water pressure acquisition.

[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The fire hydrant shown has a water pressure acquisition overpressure or water shortage alarm function, including a hydrant body 7 and a fire cap 1 and a base 8 located at the upper and lower ends of the hydrant body 7. The fire cap 1 has a fire cap cover plate 3 inside, and a PCB2 is fixedly installed on the top of the fire cap cover plate 3. The PCB2 is screwed and fixed inside the fire cap 1. The upper end of the hydrant body 7 has two symmetrically arranged end cap slots 5. Small end caps 4 are fitted on the outside of the end cap slots 5. A large end cap 6 is provided on the outer wall of the hydrant body 7 and between the two small end caps 4.

[0028] The upper part of the fire helmet 1 is provided with a toothed plate assembly. The pressure plate assembly includes a fire hydrant screw 17 and a float switch 15. The fire hydrant screw 17 is located inside the fire helmet 1, and a fire hydrant guide screw sleeve 9 is threaded on its lower end. A connecting rod 10 is fixedly passed through the lower end of the fire hydrant guide screw sleeve 9. A pressure probe assembly is provided at the lower end of the connecting rod 10. The pressure probe assembly is located inside the base 8 and includes a valve stem connecting pipe 18 and a probe housing 22. The valve stem connecting pipe 18 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 10, and the probe housing 22 is fixedly sleeved on the lower end of the outer wall of the valve stem connecting pipe 18.

[0029] The pressure probe assembly includes a quick-connect connector 19 and a connector fixing plate 20. The connector fixing plate 20 is fixedly disposed on the lower end of the inner wall of the valve stem connecting pipe 18. The quick-connect connector 19 is threaded inside the connector fixing plate 20. The lower end of the quick-connect connector 19 is threaded with a third nut 21. The lower end of the probe housing 22 is sequentially fixed with a first rubber gasket pressure plate 24 and a sealing rubber gasket 25 from top to bottom. The lower end of the probe housing 22 is threaded with a fourth nut 23. A second rubber gasket pressure plate 26 is provided in contact between the fourth nut 23 and the sealing rubber gasket 25. The bottom of the sealing rubber gasket 25 has a pressure groove that matches the second rubber gasket pressure plate 26.

[0030] In order to detect the amount of water inside the thrombus 7 and avoid water shortage inside the thrombus 7 as much as possible, Figure 1-4 As shown, the gear assembly includes a gear 12, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the fire helmet 1 and located at the lower end of the fire helmet cover plate 3. A cable fixing connector 14 is fixedly mounted on one end of the inside of the gear 12. First nuts 13 are threaded on both sides of the cable fixing connector 14. The upper end of the float switch 15 is located at the other end of the inside of the gear 12, and two symmetrically arranged second nuts 16 are threaded on the upper end. The two first nuts 13 and the second nuts 16 are located on the upper and lower sides of the gear 12. A sealing ring 11 is contacted on the side of the first nuts 13 and the second nuts 16 that contact the gear 12.

[0031] Working principle: Components such as the quick-connect connector 19 in the pressure probe assembly sense the water pressure inside the base 8 in real time. When the water pressure inside the hydrant body 7 exceeds the limit, the pressure signal is transmitted to the PCB2 inside the fire cap 1 via the circuit. After processing and analyzing the signal, the PCB2 will trigger the corresponding alarm mechanism if it determines that the pressure is excessive, and issue an overpressure warning in a timely manner. The float switch 15 in the crank assembly will float up and down with the change in the water level inside the hydrant body 7. When the water level inside the hydrant body 7 is insufficient and drops to a certain level, the float switch 15 will activate, transmitting a water shortage signal to the PC via the circuit. After B2 and PCB2 are processed, the alarm device will be activated to issue a water shortage reminder. The fire hydrant screw 17, fire hydrant guide screw sleeve 9, connecting rod 10 and other components are structurally coordinated to provide a stable installation and working environment for the pressure probe assembly and float switch 15 and other monitoring components. Sealing components such as sealing ring 11 and sealing gasket 25 ensure the airtightness of the entire fire hydrant, preventing water leakage from affecting the accuracy of monitoring and the normal use of the fire hydrant. The first nut 13, second nut 16, third nut 21, fourth nut 23 and other components ensure the stability of each component during operation by fixing the relevant components.

[0032] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
