Abstract

The fire-fighting vehicle in pick-up form up to 3.49 t with a water tank in connection with a TS (portable pump) or high-pressure portable pump with built-in high-pressure pump is equipped.

Description

novelty

The invention is based on the use of a vehicle pick-up with the commercial design features all-wheel drive, or 4 × 2 single or double cab and loading area as a pick-up. Furthermore, a commercial cover of the cargo area with opening options on the rear side and on the respective side surfaces is used.

The cover (hardtop) can be completely removed if necessary.

The entire vehicle is converted to a fire engine under the name "fire master".

For this purpose, in particular the loading area with firefighting technical furnishings (ultralight building technology) equipped, including in particular a portable pump with built-in high-pressure pump with the name is HD-TS (portable pump high-pressure) or HD-TS Hochdrucktragkraftspritze heard.

Around or below this pump is a water tank with two high-pressure outlets with automatic reels. The HD-TS will also have two normal impression outlets with extra suction.

The side openings of the cab (hardtop) mounted on the truck bed open at the push of a button, so that the quick-action hose as well as the normal pressure hose are available under full pressure within seconds. Provided is an automatic respective side opening and fully automatic pressure adjustment.

The fire-brigade equipment is supplemented by a cable remote control as well as radio remote control, over which the entire fire-fighting technology can be controlled.

The roof monitor provided in the cabin can be automatically controlled via a thermal sensor or infrared camera or thermal imager so that the water jet or spray automatically detects and fights the fire.

Inventive achievement

By using a standard four-wheel drive vehicle or 4 × 2 pick-up in the trim level single or double cab with loading area, overbuilt with a so-called cabin (hardtop) has the advantage that initially no special and therefore very expensive conversion work must be made on this vehicle ,

Furthermore, the use of a commercial vehicle weighing less than 3.5 tonnes ensures that this vehicle can be driven by anyone with normal driving license. It therefore requires no special driver's license, so that the possible circle of eligible drivers is not limited from the outset.

On the bed a so-called portable pump is mounted, which has a pump with a high pressure component. The pump will also have two different circuits. This means that through these two different circuits two independently functioning pumping operations can be mastered, hence the normal pressure under simultaneously applicable high pressure. Both circuits can be controlled independently of each other.

The Tragkraftspritze with the named pump components is a constructed in a small space carrying pump, which can be mounted by their extent and weight without problems on the back of the designated vehicle pick-up. In addition, the portable pump can be quickly removed from the vehicle due to the proposed assembly technology in order to additionally use it as a mobile pump can. Due to its low weight, the pump is portable by at least people, so that it can be used by the vehicle solved, for example, even in rough terrain Zb thicket can be used immediately.

The vehicle as such can continue to be used as a fire engine when, for example, parallel to the connection to a hydrant or open water is possible and the pressure is high enough to operate the jet pipes.

The truck-mounted portable pump is also surrounded by a 500 to 650 Ltr water tank. The water tank and ultralight construction are designed so that they are immediately accessible, especially through the two side openings of the cab mounted on the loading area. As already stated, they are. Open side openings at the push of a button. At the then respectively accessible part of the water tank, a high-pressure outlet with automatic reels is mounted, as well as two normal pressure outlets and a suction function. Due to this immediate accessibility, a quick attack hose and normal pressure hose can be available in seconds under full pressure. Is provided Furthermore, in addition to the automatic door opening and a fully automatic pressure adjustment.

This means that the pump, openings for removing the correspondingly pressurized jet pipes and the pump pressure is activated with a push of a button. As already stated, this activation can be done manually or with remote control.

The ultralight technology of the portable pump and the built-in high-pressure component ensure that a high pressure of approx. 40 bar is available. This means that an associated increased droplet distribution is possible with a better extinguishing effect due to this alone. In addition, the high-pressure component and the normal pressure component can be supplemented in their Strahlrohrzuwegung with a cartridge containing droplet-reducing chemical additives. This would mean that the extinguishing effect of the high-pressure jet can again be optimized by 100%. This also means that from the existing in the tank 500 liters of water at least three times the extinguishing effect compared to a conventional fire engine with normal water pressure and a fire water supply of 1500 liters can be achieved. This means that this available Punkttechnik, especially in the combination of high pressure and chemical cartridges either achieved a threefold more intense extinguishing effect, or a correspondingly quantitatively greater extinguishing effect. The existing water is better and therefore used more efficiently according to the system described above. The commercially available vehicle pick-up used here can be supplemented with a whole series of performance-enhancing components in order to additionally expand the area of action and use. Among other things, it is conceivable to install at the front of the vehicle up to 5.9 tons of winch, which would enable the vehicle to overcome other impassable areas, such as road ditches, drooping branches in fallen trees, etc., as well as gradients of 45 degrees.

The fire engine technology on the vehicle has a special bivalent energy supply independent (battery) as well as switchable vehicle battery with automatic disconnect switch as well as tank, and is therefore applicable independently of the vehicle logistics.

Industrial Applicability

The above-described fire department vehicle under the name "fire master" is conceivable for a variety of commercial applications.

First of all, it is the classical use of the fire brigades, in particular the professional fire brigades, the volunteer fire brigades, company fire brigades, factory fire brigades, forestry companies and road maintenance companies, ADAC, the German Armed Forces as well as the technical relief organization.

The vehicle is due to its commercial size able to drive all buildings, which are designed for a commercial car use. These include in particular passable cellars, car parks, warehouses and production halls of companies of any kind.

This means that industrial applicability is to be considered for all business activities or companies which are subject to an increased risk of fire in their business operations, and in this respect provide for risk prevention already for reasons of taking account of traffic safety obligations and the fulfillment of liability obligations under liability insurance law and, for that reason, can not and should not rely exclusively on the professional fire brigades or voluntary fire brigades. In that regard, this vehicle can serve with the described new equipment combination, in particular with regard to the fire department equipment as a first or even exclusive module for company fire departments and plant fire departments.

Due to the commercial custom and the consequent size and efficiency of the vehicle, especially the weight and the double cabin, this vehicle can also be used despite its dedication as a fire engine fire truck for other purposes.

This multi-functionality is another complement to the range of industrial applicability.

It is therefore conceivable, for example, that this vehicle is also used for professional fire departments as a leading vehicle and vehicle in advance, so that it arrived at the fire can be used immediately for the first deletion activities.

For fire-endangered companies, such as carpentry, gas filling stations, building materials dealers, woodworking companies, etc., the vehicle offers a quasi-ideal applicability.

The fact that the tank and the portable pump can be used by a lightweight and very practical rapid assembly and disassembly technology, these two significant assembly components of great time the transport surface are removed, resulting in two more possible benefits. The vehicle can then be used as a simple transport vehicle, while the water tank and the portable pump, for example, can remain in a building, where they can be used at any time for firing technical applications.

As already described, the vehicle can be used in closed halls or buildings, for example in the halls at the film production in Babelsberg.

An increasing application possibility arises in particular with parking garages. Due to their weight and size, existing fire-fighting vehicles can not regularly use the parking garages. Here is the commercial custom of the vehicle a great advantage. In a parking garage fire, which may have initially started by a parked there vehicle in the context of a small fire, the fire brigades have previously either with great force and time hoses to move to the fire or firefighters under respiratory protection to the fire let run, in which case the mitführmöglichen extinguishing agent already limited due to their carrying weight and unwieldiness.

State of the art

The propulsion engine used here for the portable pump is a two-cylinder air-cooled aircraft engine with dual function, just like in an airplane, equipped with two spark plugs per cylinder, two ignition coils per cylinder, etc.

Due to the derivation of aircraft technology, the ultralight construction technology can be used here. The drive motor is small, light, fast, agile and effective. The merger of the normal-pressure pump with the high-pressure section in one line results in a whole new dimension of future fire-fighting technology. The state of the art is class instead of mass.

The problem underlying the invention

99% of all conventional fire fighting vehicles (TSF / W) can not rely on a reasonably priced four-wheel drive, and are basically too immobile, too big, too heavy and too inflexible and cumbersome and can not be driven with the driving license class B.

In addition, the operation of these vehicles requires the use of several people, but due to their cabin constellation can carry a maximum of five people.

Furthermore, it is added that conventional firefighting vehicles are classified as trucks, with the resulting increased requirements for driving license. This also means that of the available firefighters regularly only a small circle of persons authorized and authorized to move the fire truck. However, it is not guaranteed in every case of an alarm that there are sufficient firefighters who have this driving license.

In addition, in the age of the "Demographic Curve", all companies named above, in particular the various fire brigades, will no longer be able to rely on a sufficient number of young people.

In the future personnel selection, therefore, these companies must also be able to draw on ever-increasing personnel efficiency. This means that as many firefighters as possible can and can drive the available fire engine. This also means that the fire-fighting vehicle can be operated by as few people as possible.

In particular, the volunteer fire departments already complained of large junior problems. When it comes to young talent planning and motivation, it is increasingly becoming a criterion whether young people can be offered at short notice to personally operate and drive a fire fighting vehicle.

In particular, in exercises and fire fighting competitions, it is increasingly important for these offspring to win by the personal driving a vehicle to be able to participate.

In addition, due to the current financial crisis and the resulting consequences that in the future no significant over-indebtedness in public budgets can be tolerated more, lead to the very practical consequence, for example, in all fire departments, that in the purchase of new fire fighting vehicles only limited funds will be available for purchase prices.

In the upcoming decision-making situation of public budgets, to save personnel costs as well as equipment costs, many arguments will speak for the firefighting vehicle presented here.

The problem solution so the invention in itself and the advantages achieved with it

The problem solution is already included in the purchase price. There is no TSF / W fire engine water-bearing vehicle, which you can drive with the license class B, ie up to 3.5 tons. The above-mentioned vehicle is small, fast, agile, has a 4 × 4 drive as a production vehicle and will be available for purchase at a reasonable price. Depending on the equipment, the price will be under 80,000 € and thus be portable for each fire department. The vehicle may be driven with two men crew. It is designed so that the operation in the cab by a one-man crew is possible.

The problem solution, that is, the invention per se, is described in the "Inventive Performance" already described above.
