Description

Water supply system, method and electronic device of fire truck

[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202410861420.2, filed on June 28, 2024, and entitled "Water supply system, method and electronic device of fire truck", the whole content of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of fire truck water supply, in particular to a water supply system, method and electronic device of fire truck. BACKGROUND

[0003] Due to the size and weight limitations, fire trucks cannot carry too much water for fire extinguishing. Due to the site and regional restrictions, water supply can only be carried out by large tank trucks or remote water supply trucks. This series connection of multiple fire trucks is called coupled water supply, which can improve the lift and delivery distance of the water pump. The fire pump (referred to as water supply pump) of the water supply fire truck directly supplies water to the fire pump (referred to as water receiving pump) of the water receiving fire truck. The pressure and flow of the two pumps on the same fire truck or the two pumps on different fire trucks are coupled. The start and stop and pressure regulation of multiple fire pumps need to be highly coordinated, otherwise, insufficient water supply will occur when the pressure is too low, and the water receiving pump will be damaged when the pressure is too high.

[0004] Currently, pump-tank-pump collaborative water supply mode can be used, and pump-pump collaborative water supply mode can also be used. The former delivers water from the water supply pump to the water tank of the water receiving fire truck, and then the water from the tank is delivered to the water receiving pump for external water delivery, which limits the use scenario and delivery distance. The latter needs manual operation to realize the power start and stop, power speed regulation and pressure regulation of the water supply pump and the water receiving pump, and it is difficult to realize real-time pressure matching of the water supply pump and the water receiving pump. In the pump-pump collaborative water supply mode, if the water supply is insufficient, the connecting pipeline will be sucked, the water receiving pump will be idle, and the water receiving pump will be easily damaged. If the water supply is sufficient, the inlet pressure of the water receiving pump will be too high, and the seal will be damaged. When the water supply pump and the water receiving pump are far apart, multiple people need to cooperate to operate, the coupling is difficult, the error is large, the water supply is discontinuous and unstable.

[0090] In some embodiments, the adjusting, by the controller, the water suction amount of the water supply pump based on the target water supply pressure of the water pump to adjust the actual water supply pressure until the adjusted actual water supply pressure reaches the target water supply pressure can include: for each power transmission device, adjusting, by the controller, the rotation speed of the motor to adjust the rotation speed of the floating boat pump; performing water suction by the floating boat pump based on the current rotation speed and supplying water to the water supply pump; obtaining, by the controller, the inlet end water supply pressure of the water supply pump, and starting the target power device under the condition that the inlet end water supply pressure is greater than the preset pressure threshold, until the outlet end water supply pressure of the water supply pump reaches the target water supply pressure, and the outlet end water supply pressure is the adjusted actual water supply pressure.

[0091] In some embodiments, the preset pressure threshold can be represented by P1, and the target water supply pressure can be represented by P2.

[0092] Optionally, the preset pressure threshold and the target water supply pressure can be set by the controller before leaving the factory, or can be customized by the user.

[0093] Optionally, the adjusting, by the controller, the rotation speed of the motor to adjust the rotation speed of the floating boat pump can include: controlling, by the controller, the power unit to start, adjusting the oil amount of the oil pump and the flow of the hydraulic valve to control the rotation speed of the motor to adjust the rotation speed of the floating boat pump.

[0094] The starting of the power unit controlled by the controller can provide power for the oil pump, at this time, the adjusting of the hydraulic oil of the oil pump by the controller can drive the motor to rotate through the hydraulic valve, and at the same time, the floating boat pump can rotate with the motor, in the case that the floating boat pump is put into the water source, the water supply pump can be connected through the water hose pipeline, the floating boat pump can perform water suction in the water source based on the current rotation speed and supply water to the water supply pump, so that the water supply pump can supply water to the outside through the water hose, at this time, the water supply pump can deliver water to the fire fighting facilities several kilometers to several tens of kilometers away; then, obtaining, by the controller, the inlet end water supply pressure of the water supply pump, and comparing the inlet end water supply pressure with the preset pressure threshold in real time, under the condition that the inlet end water supply pressure reaches the preset pressure threshold, it can be determined whether the target power device is started, if not, starting the target power device by the controller, and comparing the relationship between the outlet end water supply pressure of the water supply pump and the target water supply pressure in real time, until the outlet end water supply pressure can reach the target water supply pressure. The whole process can automatically complete the starting of the power unit, the speed regulation, the oil way flow regulation of the hydraulic valve, and automatically match the water supply pressure between the water supply pump and the water suction pump, without manual adjustment, saving time and effort, at the same time, the long-distance water supply of the water suction pump is continuous and smooth, effectively improving the water supply efficiency.

[0095] In some embodiments, the starting of the target power device until the outlet end water supply pressure of the water supply pump reaches the target water supply pressure can include: starting the target power device and adjusting the rotation speed of the target power device until the outlet end water supply pressure of the water supply pump reaches the target water supply pressure.

[0096] The speed of the target power device can be adjusted in real time until the outlet water pressure of the water supply pump reaches the target water pressure, thereby improving the intelligence of the system.

[0097] It should be noted that in the case of increasing the speed of the target power device, the outlet water pressure increases and the inlet water pressure decreases. At this time, the flow of the hydraulic valve needs to be increased to ensure that the inlet water pressure is greater than the preset pressure threshold, and the current working condition is maintained when the outlet water pressure reaches the target water pressure. Throughout the process, the inlet water pressure and the outlet water pressure are associated, but the two pumps are adjusted with different variables to achieve decoupling and realize coupled water supply.

[0098] In some embodiments, the method can further include: in the case that the inlet water pressure is less than or equal to the preset pressure threshold, continuing to adjust the flow of the hydraulic valve until the inlet water pressure is greater than the preset pressure threshold.

[0099] In the process of comparing the inlet water pressure with the preset pressure threshold in real time by the controller, in the case that the inlet water pressure is less than or equal to the preset pressure threshold, the flow of the hydraulic valve can be continuously adjusted until the inlet water pressure is greater than the preset pressure threshold, in preparation for subsequent control of the target power device to start until the outlet water pressure of the water receiving pump reaches the target water pressure. Throughout the process, the inlet water pressure and the outlet water pressure can be associated, and the two target control quantities can be adjusted in real time by the controller to achieve pump-pump decoupling and realize coupled water supply.

[0100] In some embodiments, the method can further include: collecting the inlet water pressure by the inlet pressure sensor; collecting the outlet water pressure by the outlet pressure sensor.

[0101] The inlet water pressure is collected by the inlet pressure sensor and sent to the controller, and the outlet water pressure is collected by the outlet pressure sensor and sent to the controller. After receiving the inlet water pressure and the outlet water pressure, the controller can adjust the inlet water pressure and the outlet water pressure in real time until the inlet water pressure is greater than the preset pressure threshold and the outlet water pressure reaches the target water pressure.
