Description

1  TARIFF MODULAR, DETACHABLE ABOVE-GROUND FIRE HYDRANT TECHNICAL FIELD  The invention relates to fire safety systems, urban infrastructure, and pressurized water distribution. The equipment is in the technical field, especially in the area of ​​vehicle collision, mechanical impact or external damage. It can be broken in a controlled manner under the influence of force and, thanks to its modular structure, it is fast. This relates to above-ground fire hydrants that allow for maintenance and reuse. 10 The invention relates to municipal infrastructure systems, industrial facilities, organized industrial zones, port areas, airports, fuel stations, logistics centers, highway sides and is suitable for use in high-risk fire safety applications. 1) The invention also features a breakable structure that provides protection for the main underground water line in the event of an impact. connection structures, modular valve systems, replaceable body elements and Technical solutions related to controlled energy dissipation mechanisms It includes.  PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Fire hydrants are used in fire extinguishing systems in city networks or industrial facilities. These are infrastructure elements that provide pressurized water for firefighting purposes. Above-ground fire hydrants, in particular, are important because they provide quick access. common in areas such as edges, open spaces, and regions with heavy vehicle traffic. It is used in this way. In the current state of the art, above-ground hydrant systems are mostly used. It is manufactured with a cast body and monoblock structure. In these systems, the lower body, upper  The body, valve chamber, and outlet connections are largely integrated into a single piece structure.   It is designed in this way. The structure in question is designed for durability in terms of production. While it provides some structural integrity, it creates serious structural problems under impact loads. Especially vehicle collisions, contact with construction equipment, traffic accidents, or external mechanical forces. In these situations, the bodies of existing hydrants can fracture irregularly. Since these fractures often occur in areas of the hydrant that are not weak, Not only the upper body, but also the lower valve system, connection flanges and underground water line. It can be damaged. One of the most significant problems encountered in current systems is the reduction of pulse energy. The problem is that it cannot be directed in a controlled manner. The impact force is directly applied to the base of the fuselage. as transmitted, cracking, connection breakage or flange deformation in the infrastructure line This can occur. This situation involves the uncontrolled flow of high-pressure water. This causes water to leak out and results in significant water losses. 1) In known systems, the fracture region is also not predetermined. Therefore, the hydrant body undergoes random deformation at different points. This makes maintenance procedures more difficult and often affects the entire hydrant system. This makes it necessary to replace it, especially the valve inside the body. If the system is damaged, underground excavation operations are required, which necessitates maintenance. This significantly increases both the time and costs. In the known state of the art, some hydrant structures are “breakaway” or prone to breakage. Although improved, the fragile structure in these systems is mostly due to a fixed intermediate part. This is the case. Modularity is not at a sufficient level in these solutions. The broken components  It is not possible to change it quickly in the field, and the system often It requires complete disassembly and maintenance. Another problem with known systems is non-standard component designs. Different For applications requiring specific height, flow rate, or connection standards, all hydrants must meet certain standards. The structure may need to be modified, modular part compatibility.   This is not possible. This increases inventory costs and disrupts maintenance processes. It makes things complicated. Additionally, existing hydrant systems may require elastic devices to absorb impact energy or Due to the absence of energy-dissipating structures, the sudden load at the moment of impact  The transfer is directly onto the metal body. As a result, most fractures occur. Time occurs in a brittle and uncontrolled manner. In known solutions, sealing elements are near the fracture zone. Positioning is also a significant problem. Gasket deformation during impact. This occurs and water leaks may continue after the rupture. This situation This prevents the system from being quickly brought back online. Another technical problem encountered in current applications is maintenance and repair. The reason is the long duration. In most of the hydrants that broke, the lower body connections were also damaged. Because it was damaged, road excavation was carried out, the main line was closed and extensive Infrastructure intervention may be required. This process increases both labor costs. This increases the risk and also causes disruptions in the city's power grid. Therefore, in the current state of the art;  — unable to provide controlled rupture, — unable to manage the energy of the coup, — unable to adequately protect the underground line, — not offering modular maintenance options,  — not allowing only the replacement of the damaged part, — unable to provide a quick service response Existing systems appear to have significant technical shortcomings. 30 Therefore, during the coup attempt, in a controlled manner within a predetermined area; detachable, underground valve system protecting, modular interchangeable components   a new above-ground system was created, reducing maintenance time and increasing infrastructure security. A fire hydrant system is needed. Consequently, due to the aforementioned drawbacks and shortcomings, the relevant The need for an innovation in the technical field has arisen.   THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The overall purpose of the invention is to create a complete system that meets the requirements mentioned above. especially the vehicle, which eliminates disadvantages and brings some additional advantages. can be broken in a controlled manner under the influence of impact, mechanical shock or external force. and thanks to its modular structure, it provides the possibility of quick maintenance and reuse.

The goal is to develop fire hydrants. 1) Another objective of the invention is to transmit the impact force directly to the infrastructure line. by preventing the fracture energy from being concentrated in a predetermined controlled region. The aim is to ensure damping. This prevents cracking and flange breakage in infrastructure pipes. and water line deformation is prevented.  Another objective of the invention is to ensure that, after fracture, only the damaged module The goal is to create a modular structure that allows for modifications. This ensures that all This eliminates the need to replace the hydrant and reduces maintenance costs. is significantly reduced. 3 Another objective of the invention is the upper body, the breakable connection module, the valve system and The outlet ports are configured to be independently interchangeable. This allows for rapid configuration according to different field requirements. Another aim of the invention is to quickly reactivate the system after a break.
