  FIG. 1 is a front view showing an embodiment of a fire hydrant device installed in a tunnel according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, the fire hydrant device 10 has a housing 12 installed on a gantry 11. The housing 12 has a box shape in which a decorative plate 14 having door openings 16 and 17 corresponding to the fire extinguisher storage portion and the fire hydrant storage portion is attached to the front surface.

  A fire hydrant door 18 and a maintenance door 22 are provided in the door opening 16 on the right side of the housing 12, and the inside of the housing 12 serving as the inside thereof is a hose housing portion and a valve housing portion. The fire hydrant door 18 can be opened and closed forward about the lower hinge 21.

  The hinge 21 of the fire hydrant door 18 is provided with a spring 25 as shown by being broken on the left side to urge the fire hydrant door 18 in the opening direction. The fire hydrant door 18 is held by a door holding mechanism disposed inside the door, which will be described later. This door holding mechanism receives the movement of the opening / closing operation of the handle 20 by a wire, and the handle 20 is released as shown in the figure. When the fire hydrant door 18 is locked and the handle 20 is pulled forward, the movement of the wire at that time is unlocked, and the fire hydrant door 18 can be opened at an arbitrary angle by receiving the force of the spring 25. When the handle 20 is released at the position where the angle reaches the angle, it locks at that position.

  A maintenance door 22 that opens and closes upward by a hinge 23 is provided on the fire hydrant door 18 and can be opened by opening the fire hydrant door 18 and unlocking the lower left and right inner sides of the maintenance door 22 at the time of inspection. .

The red indicator lamp 26 is always turned on so that the installation location of the fire hydrant apparatus 10 can be seen from a distance. In the event of a fire, when the transmitter 28 is pressed and the switch button is turned on, a transmission signal is transmitted to the fire receiver in the monitoring room, a fire alarm is issued, and a response signal is sent from the fire receiver accordingly, and the response lamp 30 To light up.

  A fire extinguisher door 32 is provided in the door opening 17, and the inside of the housing 12 corresponding to the fire extinguisher door 32 is used as a fire extinguisher storage portion, for example, containing two fire extinguishers. The fire extinguisher door 32 is provided with a handle 34. When the handle 34 is pulled forward, the latch is released, and the fire extinguisher door 32 can be opened forward with the left side as a hinge.

  FIG. 2 is a front view showing the internal structure of the first embodiment of FIG. 1 with the fire hydrant door and the maintenance door removed. In FIG. 2, a hose storage portion 36 is formed at the center of the housing 12, and a valve storage portion 38 is formed on the right side thereof.

  A frame pipe 40 formed in a U-shape is arranged in the hose storage portion 36 on the opening side. Hose buckets 42 are attached to both sides of the frame pipe 40 to form a hose storage space inside.

  A housing angle is arranged on the left hose bucket 42, and an upper bracket of the door holding mechanism 62 is rotatably connected to the left hose bucket 42, and the lower side is connected to the fire hydrant door side, so that the fire hydrant door is at an arbitrary opening angle. It can be held.

  A hose 44 is housed inside the hose storage portion 36 surrounded by the hose bucket 42 and the inner wall of the housing. Here, a hose connection port 46 is disposed in the right valve storage unit 38, and after connecting the primary side of the hose 44 to the hose connection port 46, the hose 44 is wound into the hose storage unit 36. However, in this case, the hose 44 is wound so that the hose 44 is clockwise when viewed from the door opening 16.

  That is, the hose 44 connected to the hose connection port 46 is first wound under the hose storage portion 36, and then is wound clockwise in the storage portion, and finally the hose tip to which the nozzle 48 is attached is connected to the frame pipe 40. A nozzle 48 is attached to and held by a nozzle holder 50 attached to the right hose bucket 42 from the upper opening of the hose guide 43 attached near the center.

  The nozzle 48 is arranged at the same height level next to the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 to facilitate the operation at the time of water discharge by taking out the nozzle 48 and operating the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60. The hose guide 43 prevents the hose 44 from being broken by the frame pipe 40 in the vicinity of the hose connection port 46 when the hose 44 is all pulled out to the right.

  By storing the hose 44 in the right-handed inner winding with respect to the hose storage portion 36, the winding start portion 44 a of the hose 44 is sent to the lower portion of the hose storage portion 36 from the hose connection port 46 at the shortest distance. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10, there is no hose portion (approximately half a turn around) that comes off from the hose housing portion when the hose 112 is turned counterclockwise and the hose winding start portion 112 a is sent to the upper portion of the hose housing portion. Can be shortened, and the volume of the hose storage portion 36 is reduced. As a result, the casing 12 can be thinned.

  Further, the hose entrainment start portion 44a is sent to the lower side of the hose storage portion 36 by right-hand winding, so that the hose 44 does not slide against the hose bucket 42, and the conventional hose left-hand winding of FIG. There is no need for protection against sliding against the bucket, and the structure can be simplified.

  Further, the nozzle 48 at the tip of the hose taken out after being stored in the hose storage part 36 as a right-hand winding is detachably attached to the nozzle holder 50 with the water discharge part facing downward, and since the water discharge part faces downward, the fire hydrant door is attached. The nozzle 48 can be opened and removed with the water discharge part facing down, and the water will not be discharged unless the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 provided on the fire hydrant valve 54 is operated, but this is inexperienced for those operating in the event of a fire. Therefore, the nozzle 48 can be removed with a sense of security because the water outlet is not suitable for the user, and there is a great safety advantage.

  A valve storage part 38 disposed on the right side of the hose storage part 36 provided in the housing 12 has a fire hydrant valve 54 connected to a piping system from the fire hydrant connection port 52 to which the piping from the pump facility is connected to the hose connection port 46. An automatic pressure regulating valve 56 and an automatic drain valve 58 are provided.

  That is, the pipe from the fire hydrant connection port 52 is connected to the primary side of the fire hydrant valve 54, the secondary side of the fire hydrant valve 54 is connected to the primary side of the automatic drain valve 58, and the primary side of the automatic pressure regulating valve 56. Connected to. The secondary side of the automatic pressure regulating valve 56 is a hose connection port 46 to which the hose 44 is connected.

  The fire hydrant valve 54 is arranged so that the opening / closing drive shaft faces the door opening 16, and the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 is mounted directly on the opening / closing drive shaft, and is arranged vertically in a plane parallel to the door opening 16. The fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 is rotated between the closed position and the open position.

  That is, the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 is in the illustrated horizontal position and the fire hydrant valve 54 is in the closed position. At this time, since there is no pressure in the secondary side pipe, the automatic drain valve 58 is open. When the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 is rotated clockwise and operated to the downward open position, the fire hydrant valve 54 is actuated to the open position, water for fire extinguishing is supplied into the secondary pipe, and the pressure rises. Automatic drain valve 58 is actuated to the closed position. Accordingly, the fire-extinguishing water pressurized from the water supply connection port 52 is regulated to a predetermined pressure through the automatic pressure regulating valve 56 and then supplied to the hose 44 side.

  Further, when the hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 is operated to the downward open position, the switch 61 provided on the left side of the hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 is turned on at the same time, thereby sending a signal to the pump equipment and starting the pump equipment. The When stopping the water discharge, when the hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 is returned to the original horizontal position, the hydrant valve 54 is closed, and at the same time, the switch 61 is turned off to stop the operation of the pump equipment.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 that is conventionally provided on the fire hydrant door and opens and closes the fire hydrant valve by wire connection is arranged on the housing 12 side and directly provided on the fire hydrant valve 54. Thus, the structure of the fire hydrant door 18 is simplified, and a reduction in thickness and weight can be achieved.

  It is clear at a glance that the hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 is provided directly on the opening / closing drive shaft of the hydrant valve 54, and the hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 in the horizontal state is turned downward by about 90 ° as an operation for opening the valve. The operation is extremely natural from the viewpoint of ergonomics, and sufficiently high operability is ensured.

  Further, since the opening / closing drive shaft of the fire hydrant valve 54 is directly operated by the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60, it can be easily operated with a small operation force compared to the case where it is provided on the fire hydrant door as in the prior art and remotely operated by a wire.

  FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the internal structure of FIG. In FIG. 3, a frame pipe 40 is arranged on the front side of the hose storage portion 36, hose buckets 42 are attached to both sides of the frame pipe 40, and the hose storage portion 36 is formed as a partition. It is stored in a state. A door holding mechanism 62 is provided between the left hose bucket 42 and the fire hydrant door 18.

  4 is a side view showing the internal structure of FIG. In FIG. 4, a fire hydrant door 18 is attached to a door opening on the front surface of the housing 12 so as to be openable and closable with a lower hinge 21 as a rotation axis. A door holding mechanism 62 is connected between the housing 12 and the fire hydrant door 18, and the door holding mechanism 62 is controlled to a locked state and an unlocked state via a wire in accordance with an opening / closing operation of the handle 20.

  That is, when the handle 20 of the fire hydrant door 18 is pulled forward, the door holding mechanism 62 is unlocked and opens to any position 18a, 18b between the closed position and the fully opened position of the illustrated hydrant door 18, for example, the position If the handle 20 is released when it is opened to 18a, the fire hydrant door 18 can be held at the position 18a.

  Further, even in the fully closed state in which the fire hydrant door 18 is closed as shown in FIG. 1, the door is not held by a latch mechanism or a magnet, but is held at the fully closed position only by the door holding mechanism 62. Yes.

  The fire hydrant valve 54 disposed in the housing 12 is disposed with the opening / closing drive shaft 55 directed toward the door opening, and the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 is provided directly on the opening / closing drive shaft 55. FIG. 4 shows a state where the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 60 is operated to the downward position and the fire hydrant valve 54 is operated to the open position.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing an embodiment of a door holding mechanism according to the present invention. In FIG. 5, the door holding mechanism 62 connects a lever arm 64 provided on the handle 20 of the fire hydrant door 18 to a damper mechanism 66 disposed between the housing 12 and the fire hydrant door 18 by a wire 88.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the handle lever 23 provided on the front side is pulled forward, the lever arm 64 projecting on both sides behind the handle 20 operates to the position indicated by 64a. Therefore, when the handle lever 23 is pulled as shown in FIG. 6, the wire 88 of FIG. 5 is pulled toward the handle 20 via the roller 89.

  The damper mechanism 66 fixes an upper bracket 78 of the cylinder 68 to the housing side, and fixes a bracket 94 provided at the tip of the piston rod 72 taken out from the lower side of the cylinder 68 to the fire hydrant door side.

  The wire 88 passes through the wire tube 86 supported between the housing and the fire hydrant door by the fixing members 92 and 95, and is then fixed to the tip of a lever 96 that is rotatably provided to the bracket 94 by a shaft 98. ing. The end of the push rod 76 protruding through the push rod 72 is in contact with the lever 96.

  Therefore, when the handle lever 23 is pulled forward and the wire 88 is pulled as shown in FIG. 6, the lever 96 rotates, pushes the push rod 76, opens the built-in valve, and moves the piston against the cylinder 68. An unlocked state in which the rod 72 is telescopic is created.

  When the handle lever 23 of the handle 20 is released, the lever arm 64 returns to the original position, the push rod 76 is pushed by the lever 96, the built-in valve is closed, and the piston rod 72 does not move relative to the cylinder 68. It can be in a locked state.

  FIG. 7 is a sectional view showing the damper mechanism 66 shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, a piston 70 is slidably disposed in a cylinder 68 of the damper mechanism 66, and a piston rod 72 is integrally provided below the piston 70, and the piston rod 72 includes a seal 86, a rod guide 88, and a dust seal 90.

  Oil cylinders 82 are filled in the cylinder chambers on both sides of the piston 70, and a free piston 80 is disposed in the cylinder chamber on the bracket 78 side, and a nitrogen gas 84 having a predetermined pressure is filled in the cylinder chamber outside the cylinder chamber.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing the operation of the damper mechanism 66 of FIG. FIG. 8A shows the initial position where the push rod 76 is not pushed. At this time, the spool valve 74 closes the flow path connecting the cylinder chambers A and B on both sides of the piston passing through the orifice hole 75. Since 70+ cannot move, the piston rod 72 is locked.

  FIG. 8B shows the case where the push rod 72 is pushed and the spool valve 74 is moved to the open position. The cylinder chambers A and B on both sides of the piston passing through the orifice hole 75 communicate with each other to allow the oil 82 to flow. 70 becomes free.

  At this time, if a tensile load due to the weight of the door is applied to the lower bracket 94 that is fixed to the fire hydrant door with the upper bracket 78 in FIG. 6 as the housing fixing side, the piston 70 moves to the left and the piston rod 72 is moved. Extends and activates the fire hydrant door in the opening direction. Further, the operation of pushing the piston rod 72 by moving the piston 70 which has become free due to the pressure of the nitrogen gas 84 filled through the free piston 80 is also performed.

  When the push rod 76 is returned to the initial position during the movement of the piston 70, the spool valve 74 is closed again as shown in FIG. 8C, and the movement of the piston 70 is stopped at that position to be in the locked state.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the push rod 76 of such a damper mechanism 66 is operated by pulling the handle 20 and remotely pushing it through the wire 88, thereby releasing the lock of the fire hydrant door 18 and releasing it. As shown in FIG. 4, it can be opened at an arbitrary opening angle. Further, if the handle 20 is released in a state where it is opened at a necessary angle, the push rod 74 returns to the initial position to be locked, and the fire hydrant door can be stopped and held at that position.

  In this case, since the flow path is closed and stopped by a minute stroke accompanying the handle operation of the spool valve 74, the stop accuracy is very good, and the fire hydrant door is stopped accurately at the position where the handle 20 is released and stopped. be able to.

  FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of the damper mechanism 66 of FIG. The damper mechanism 66 of this embodiment is a gas operating mechanism using nitrogen gas 84 by removing the free piston 80 provided in the damper mechanism 66 of FIG.
