Description

  The present invention relates to a fire hydrant device installed in a tunnel such as a highway, for example, and more particularly to a structure of a fire hydrant box that prevents the fire hose from coming out when the fire hose is pulled out.

  In a conventional fire hydrant device, a pair of frame members extending in the horizontal direction are arranged in two upper and lower stages, and a pair of hose guide members extending in the vertical direction are arranged in two rows on the left and right at the front part of the pair of frame members. The take-out port is partitioned and formed in the hose storage space (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In this conventional fire hydrant device, since the opening area of the hose outlet is smaller than the opening area of the door opening on the front surface of the housing, the hose is smaller than when the fire hose is pulled out from the door opening on the front surface of the housing. It is possible to suppress the release. However, since the opening area of the hose outlet becomes small, the guide member becomes an obstacle when the fire-extinguishing hose is rewound, and workability is deteriorated. Therefore, one hose guide member is configured to be movable in the left-right direction, and when the fire hose is rewound, one hose guide member is moved to enlarge the opening area of the hose outlet, and the fire hose The deterioration of rewinding workability was improved.

JP 2010-68830 A

In the conventional fire hydrant device, since the hose outlet is partitioned by the pair of frame members and the pair of hose guide members, there is a problem that the number of parts increases and the device cost increases.
In addition, in the conventional fire hydrant device, in order to improve the deterioration of the workability of unwinding the fire hose, one hose guide member is configured to be movable in the left-right direction, so the structure of the hose outlet is complicated. Thus, there is a problem that the cost of the apparatus further increases.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and to obtain an inexpensive fire hydrant device that can prevent the fire hose from coming out when the fire hose is pulled out without using a special mechanism. With the goal.

  A fire hydrant device according to the present invention includes a box-shaped housing having an opening on the front surface, a front panel attached to the front surface of the housing, and a hose storage space configured in the housing, wound in an inner winding, and a nozzle at the tip And a fire hose that always keeps a round shape, and an opening formed in the front panel for pulling out the fire hose, and pulling out the fire hose from the opening A fire hydrant device for discharging water, wherein the opening is formed in the front panel so as to open an upper side of the hose storage space, and a height from a bottom surface of the hose storage space to a lower end of the opening is the above More than twice the depth of the hose storage space.

  According to this invention, the opening is formed in the front panel so as to open the upper side of the hose storage space, and the height from the bottom surface of the hose storage space to the lower end of the opening is at least twice the depth of the hose storage space. It is. Therefore, the frictional force generated when the fire extinguishing hose drawn out from the hose storage space passes through the lower end edge side of the opening increases, and the extension force generated by filling the fire extinguishing hose is weakened. It is possible to prevent the fire hose from coming out when the fire hose is pulled out. In addition, since it is not necessary to use a special mechanism such as a hose outlet formed by the frame member and the hose guide member, the cost of the fire hydrant device can be reduced.

FIG.

  In FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the fire hydrant device 1 is an emergency facility having a fire monitoring function and a reporting function in addition to a fire extinguishing function, and is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped box shape having an open front. A housing 2 and a front panel 3 that is fastened and fixed to the front surface of the housing 2 and attached to the front surface of the housing 2 are provided. And in the fire hydrant box which consists of the housing | casing 2 and the front panel 3, the hose storage space 4a is comprised in the center part, and the fire extinguisher storage space 4b and the piping system storage space 4c hold | maintain the hose across the hose storage space 4a. It is comprised on both sides of the space 4a.

  The fire-extinguishing hose 5 is a shape-retaining hose that always tries to keep a round shape. The fire-extinguishing hose 5 has a fire-extinguishing nozzle 5a at the tip, and is wound around the hose bucket 6 installed in the hose storage space 4a. It is disposed in the storage space 4a. The fire extinguisher 7 and various electric devices are stored in the fire extinguisher storage space 4b. A piping system 8 including a maintenance device 9 and the like is stored in the piping system storage space 4c. Further, the hose connection port 11 is disposed on the upper side in the piping system storage space 4 c, and the primary side of the fire extinguishing hose 5 is connected to the hose connection port 11.

The front panel 3 has an oblong opening 3a that opens on the upper side of the hose storage space 4a and the piping system storage space 4c, has a rectangular opening shape, and a fire extinguisher storage space 4b. The opening shape is rectangular. A vertical fire extinguisher opening 3b is provided.
A fire hydrant door 15 is attached to the front panel 3 so that the opening 3a can be opened and closed with a lower end connected to a lower edge of the opening 3a by a hinge 16 whose rotational axis is the width direction of the fire hydrant box. As a result, the fire hydrant door 15 rotates around the hinge 16, and opens to close the opening 3 a, and opens to open the opening 3 a by rotating approximately 180 ° forwardly from the opening closing position. Take the part open position. A fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 13 that opens and closes the fire extinguishing nozzle 5 a and a fire hydrant valve (not shown) is attached to the back surface of the fire hydrant door 15.

  The hose breakage prevention member 18 is formed into a columnar body having a cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the length direction and a cross-sectional shape in which ends of two orthogonal line segments are connected by a substantially arc, and one flat surface faces downward. The other flat surface is attached to the inner surface of the lower edge of the opening 3a, and is attached to the front panel 3 so as to extend in the width direction of the fire hydrant box. The hose breakage prevention member 18 extends in the width direction of the fire hydrant box over at least the open region of the hose bucket 6 in the width direction of the fire hydrant box, that is, the entire region of the drawer region of the fire hose 5. The hose breakage prevention member 18 is adjusted in height so that the upper end thereof is flush with the lower end edge of the opening 3a or slightly higher than the lower end edge of the opening 3a, and the fire hose 5 is pulled out. At times, the fire hose 5 is attached to the front panel 3 so that a portion where the fire hose 5 abuts becomes a substantially arc shape.

The maintenance door 19 is attached to the front panel 3 so that the lower side of the piping system storage space 4c can be opened and closed.
The fire extinguisher door 20 is attached to the front panel 3 so that the fire extinguisher opening 3b can be opened and closed by a hinge (not shown) having a rotation axis in the vertical direction on the edge opposite to the opening 3a of the fire extinguisher opening 3b. It is attached.

  The electric device mounting plate 21 is fastened and fixed to the front panel 3 at the four corners, and is disposed so as to extend in the vertical direction on the opening 3a side (other side in the fire hydrant box width direction) of the fire extinguisher opening 3b. A red indicator lamp 22, an emergency transmitter 23, and the like are attached to the electrical equipment mounting plate 21, and electrical equipment such as a telephone jack and an emergency outlet is provided. The red indicator lamp 22 clearly indicates the installation position of the fire hydrant device 1, protrudes above the electric device mounting plate 21, and protrudes from the front surface of the front panel 3.

  The fire hydrant device 1 configured in this way is not shown in the figure, but in a box opening recessed in the wall surface of a concrete frame that can be operated from a supervisor passage constructed on one shoulder of a highway tunnel. It arrange | positions and it installs every predetermined space | interval (for example, 50m). The fire hydrant apparatus 1 is installed so that the red indicator lamp 22 protrudes from the wall surface of the concrete frame. Although not shown, a water distribution main is laid in advance in a duct constructed in the lower part of the supervisor passage.

  When the fire hydrant apparatus 1 is installed, a fire hydrant valve unit or the like is installed in the duct, and a branch pipe branched from the water main is connected to the primary side of the fire hydrant valve unit. The secondary side of the fire hydrant valve unit is connected to the piping system 8. Further, an interlocking wire, one end of which is connected to the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 13, is drawn from the hose storage space 4a into the piping system storage space 4c, and drawn out to the duct through the lower side of the piping system storage space 4c. Connected to the hydrant valve of the valve unit. A turnbuckle (not shown) for adjusting the tension of the interlocking wire is disposed at a position of the interlocking wire passing through the lower side in the piping system storage space 4c. In addition, the electric wire is drawn into the piping system storage portion 4c from the outside, passes through the inside of the electric wire crossing path 30 disposed in the lower portion in the piping system storage space 4c and the lower portion in the hose storage space 4a, and the electric equipment mounting plate 21 Connected to various devices attached to the.

  In the fire hydrant apparatus 1 installed in this way, the red indicator lamp 22 is installed so as to protrude above the electrical equipment mounting plate 21 and protrude from the wall surface of the concrete frame, and is always lit. When a fire accident occurs and the push button of the emergency transmitter 23 is pressed, a fire is notified to a monitoring center (not shown). When a fire report is received from the emergency transmitter 23 at the monitoring center, a flashing signal is transmitted, and the red indicator lamp 22 that has been constantly lit flashes to notify the occurrence of a fire. Moreover, when the emergency transmitter 23 is pressed, a pump (not shown) is activated, and fire-extinguishing water is pressurized and delivered into the water distribution main.

  Then, the operator who has arrived at the place where the fire hydrant apparatus 1 is installed puts his hand into the handle 15 a and pulls it forward to unlock it, and rotates the fire hydrant door 15 about the hinge 16 by approximately 180 °. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4, the opening 3a is opened. Therefore, the operator takes out the fire-extinguishing nozzle 5a and pulls the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 13 forward. Thereby, the force which moves the fire hydrant valve opening / closing lever 13 to the open side is transmitted to the fire hydrant valve via the interlocking wire, the fire hydrant valve is opened, and the water discharge from the fire hydrant nozzle 5a is started. The operator pulls out the fire hose 5 toward the fire site while holding the fire extinguishing nozzle 5a, and extinguishes the fire. At this time, the fire hose 5 slides on the curved surface (sliding surface) of the hose breakage preventing member 18 as shown in FIG.

  Here, it will be described that the fire hose 5 comes out when the fire hose 5 is pulled out.

  The fire extinguishing hose 5 wound in the inner winding of the hose bucket 6 is filled with water, thereby generating an extension force that tends to be in a straight line. And when pulling out the fire hose 5, this extension force acts to make the fire hose 5 jump out of the hose storage space 4a, that is, to make the fire hose 5 come out.

  And when the opening part 3a is formed so that the whole surface of the hose storage space 4a may be opened, the extension | extension force of the fire hose 5 which generate | occur | produces by water filling is not weakened, but the fire hose 5 comes apart. .

  When the fire-extinguishing hose 5 slides on the lower edge of the opening 3a, a frictional force is generated. The frictional force generated when the fire hose 5 slides on the lower edge of the opening 3a is such that when the height of the lower edge of the opening 3a is increased, the extension force of the fire hose 5 caused by water pressure Since the force pressed against the lower edge of the opening 3a becomes strong, the force increases. However, if the depth W of the hose storage space 4a is too wide, this force is weak, so the frictional force is small, and the fire hose 5 cannot be prevented from spreading.

  The present applicant examined by changing the height H from the bottom surface of the hose storage space 4a to the lower end of the opening 3a and the depth W of the hose storage space 4a. It was confirmed that 5 can be prevented from coming out. Here, the lower end of the opening 3a that defines the height H is the upper end of the hose breakage prevention member 18, and the depth W is a dimension from the hose breakage prevention member 18 to the back surface of the hose storage space 4a. When the hose breakage prevention member 18 is omitted, the lower end of the opening 3a that defines the height H is the lower end edge of the opening 3a, and the depth W is the opening of the front panel 3. It is a dimension from the inner surface of the lower end edge part of the part 3a to the back surface of the hose storage space 4a.

  According to the first embodiment, the height H from the bottom surface of the hose storage space 4a to the lower end of the opening 3a is set to about 2.5 times the depth W of the hose storage space 4a. Since it opens to the upper part side of the panel 3, when the fire hose 5 is pulled out, it can suppress that the fire hose 5 comes off. Therefore, the hose outlet formed by the frame member and the hose guide member required in Patent Document 1 is not necessary, so that the number of parts can be reduced and the device cost can be reduced. Moreover, since the opening part 3a is wide, the rewinding workability | operativity of the fire hose 5 is improved.

  As the fire hydrant device 1 is made thinner, there is a concern that the length of the hose storage space 4a may be reduced due to a reduction in the volume of the hose storage space 4a. However, a piping system such as a fire hydrant valve unit is constructed in the lower part of the supervisor passage. By installing in the duct, the volume of the piping system storage space 4c can be reduced, the width of the hose storage space 4a is increased, and the volume is secured. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the fire hydrant device 1 without increasing the external dimensions of the fire hydrant device 1.

  In addition, when the fire hydrant door is opened approximately 90 ° and is positioned on the supervisor passage, the fire hydrant door is required to be rigid so that it will not be damaged even if the user puts it on. There is a problem that the plate thickness must be increased, and the manufacturing cost of the fire hydrant main body is increased, the weight is increased, and the transportation cost is increased. In the first embodiment, the fire hydrant door 15 is attached to the front panel 3 so as to rotate about 180 ° in the forward tilt direction and hang down to open the opening 3a. Such a situation is avoided. Therefore, the fire hydrant door 15 can be reduced in weight, and the manufacturing cost and the transportation cost can be reduced.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment 1, since the height H from the bottom face of the hose storage space 4a to the lower end of the opening 3a is more than twice the depth W of the hose storage space 4a, as shown in FIG. The angle between the direction in which the fire hose 5 is pulled out from the opening 3a and the direction in which the fire hose 5 is pulled out from the hose bucket 6 approaches 90 °. Therefore, when the fire hose 5 gets over the lower end edge of the opening 3a made of a thin metal plate, the fire hose 5 is easily bent. If the fire hose 5 is pulled out in a bent state, the fire hose 5 may be damaged. In the first embodiment, the hose breakage prevention member 18 having a curved sliding surface of the fire extinguishing hose 5 slides the fire extinguishing hose 5 pulled out on the inner surface of the lower edge of the opening 3a of the front panel 3. Since it is attached in a possible manner, the occurrence of bending at a portion drawn out from the opening 3a of the fire hose 5 is suppressed. Therefore, the occurrence of damage to the fire hose 5 due to being pulled out in a bent state is suppressed.

  Moreover, in Embodiment 1, the maintenance door 19 is attached to the front panel 3 so that the lower side of the piping system accommodation space 4c can be opened and closed. At the time of maintenance, an operator can open the maintenance door 19 and perform turnbuckle adjustment work and maintenance work for the wire crossing path 30 from the front side of the fire hydrant apparatus 1. Therefore, it is not necessary for the operator to insert a hand from the opening 3a to perform the maintenance work, so that the maintenance work load can be reduced.

Therefore, when the fire hose 5 is pulled out, it is possible to suppress the fire hose 5 from coming out.

  Moreover, since the fire hose 5 to be pulled out is slidably attached to the lower edge of the opening 3a of the front panel 3, the hose breakage prevention member 25 is pulled out from the opening 3a of the fire hose 5. Occurrence of bending at the site is suppressed.

  In addition, since the sliding surface 25a of the hose breakage prevention member 25 is a flat surface, the fire hose 5 can easily come into contact with the sliding surface 25a when the fire-extinguishing hose 5 is about to be separated, thereby improving the scattering prevention effect. The In addition, it is preferable to make the angle of the sliding face 25a around 45 degrees with respect to the hose pull-out direction from the viewpoint of enhancing the ease of contact when the fire-extinguishing hose 5 is about to be separated.

In the second embodiment, the hose breakage prevention member is formed by bending a steel plate that is a material of the front panel. However, the hose breakage prevention member produced by bending the steel plate is formed by opening the front panel. You may attach by welding etc. to the inner wall of the lower end edge part of a part.
In the second embodiment, the outer wall surface of the hose breakage prevention member is configured in a surface shape in which three flat surfaces are continuously connected so that the inclination angle with respect to the horizontal direction gradually increases by 45 °. The outer wall surface of the hose breakage prevention member may be a polygonal surface in which four or more flat surfaces are continuously connected so that the inclination angle with respect to the horizontal gradually increases.

The fire hydrant apparatus according to the third embodiment is configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment except that the hose breakage prevention member 26 is used instead of the hose breakage prevention member 18.

  Also in the third embodiment, the dimension (height H) from the bottom surface of the hose storage space 4a to the upper end of the hose breakage prevention member 26 is the dimension (depth W) from the hole breakage prevention member 26 to the back surface of the hose storage space 4a. Therefore, when the fire hose 5 is pulled out, it is possible to suppress the fire hose 5 from coming out.

  Moreover, since the fire hose 5 to be pulled out is slidably attached to the lower end edge of the opening 3 a of the front panel 3, the hose breakage preventing member 26 is pulled out from the opening 3 a of the fire hose 5. Occurrence of bending at the site is suppressed.

  In each of the above embodiments, the hose breakage prevention member is attached to the opening panel, but may be attached to a fire hydrant door. That is, the hole breakage prevention member only needs to be provided so that the fire hose slides in the vicinity of the lower end edge of the opening when the fire hose is pulled out. Therefore, the hole breakage prevention member may be attached to the lower inner surface of the fire hydrant door when the fire hydrant door is closed, and may be arranged at a predetermined position on the lower edge of the opening when the fire hydrant door is opened.
