Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water flow detector installed in fire extinguishing equipment piping.

Fire extinguishing equipment, such as sprinkler equipment and foam fire extinguishing equipment, has a water flow detection device installed on the pipe leading from the water source to the sprinkler head (or foam head). The water flow detection device has a check valve structure and allows water to flow only in one direction from the water source to the sprinkler head.

As a conventional running water detection device, there is one described in Patent Document 1, for example. As shown in FIG. 9, this water detecting device converts the opening operation of the valve body 51 into the displacement of the rod 52 and the lever 53 to activate the switch 54 . The rod 52 is rotatably supported in the middle, one end of which engages with a protruding portion 51a provided on the edge of the valve body 51, and a weight W acting on the other end of the rod 52. As shown in FIG. A load is applied to the valve body 51 by the weight W in the valve opening direction, and the load displaces the rod 52 following the movement of the valve body 51 when the valve is opened. In the running water detection device of Patent Document 1, the rod 52 , the lever 53 , the switch 54 and the like are installed on a cover 55 that closes the opening of the main body 51 .

In the above-described water detection device, after opening the cover 55 for maintenance work, the cover 55 is closed and the tip of the rod 52 is brought into engagement with the projecting portion 51a of the valve body 51 to perform restoration work to return to the initial position. At this time, one end of the rod 52 is positioned above the initial position by the weight W acting on the rod 52 as described above. interferes. Therefore, when the reset portion 56 installed below the valve body 51 is operated to open the valve body 51 slightly, the cover 55 is closed, and then the reset portion 56 is returned to its original position, the valve body 51 is set to the closed position. , and the projection 51 and the one end of the rod 52 are engaged with each other to reach the initial position.

In the above-mentioned running water detector, it is difficult to reduce the size of the main body because the reset section is installed in the primary side chamber. In addition, since the operation handle of the reset section is located below the cover, there is a possibility that the user may forget to release the reset section after closing the cover. Therefore, in restoration work, it is necessary to pay close attention and check whether the valve body and the rod are correctly engaged after the work is completed.

In recent years, due to the shortage of workers, work efficiency has been promoted at construction sites, but valve devices such as water flow detectors, even though they are relatively small in size, weigh several tens of kilograms, improving work efficiency. Therefore, the demand for weight reduction is increasing.

Therefore, in view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a water flow detection device that can be made smaller and lighter.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following running water detection device.
A hollow main body connected to a fire extinguishing equipment pipe, a valve having a swing check valve structure inside the main body, one end engaged with the valve, and the other end protruding outside the main body to open and close the valve. A running water comprising a rod that is displaced by an action, an opening that allows the valve to be put in and out of the main body, a cover that closes the opening, and a switch that is installed on the cover and outputs a signal when the other end of the rod is displaced. It is a detection device, and the main body has a cylindrical accommodation portion in which the valve in a fully open state is accommodated.

According to this, it is possible to reduce the size and weight of the running water detection device by suppressing the height dimension thereof. More specifically, flanges formed at the upper and lower ends of the main body are provided with a plurality of bolt holes. A cover or opening is located near the edge of the flange outside the bolt holes. A space is thereby provided between the opening and the valve body.

Further, the rod needs to have a predetermined length in order to detect the displacement due to the opening of the valve body, but the length of the rod can be ensured by the space described above. Furthermore, a protrusion that engages with the rod is installed on the edge of the opening side of the valve body, and the protrusion is arranged in the space described above. When the valve is closed, one end of the rod is engaged with the surface of the projection on the valve seat side.

In addition to the above, an accommodation portion for accommodating the valve in a fully open state is installed in the main body above the bearing of the valve. pressure loss can be reduced when the is fully open. At this time, the projecting portion protrudes outside from the secondary side of the main body.

Furthermore, by arranging the bearing of the valve, the protrusion, and the opening of the main body on a straight line that intersects the imaginary plane parallel to the central axis of the main body, the opening area for inserting and removing the valve from the opening can be suppressed. In the flowing water detection device of the cited document 1 described above, the positional relationship between the valve bearing and the opening is such that the valve bearing is installed at a position rotated 90 degrees with respect to the position of the opening around the central axis of the main body. . In this case, the valve cannot be inserted or removed unless the width of the opening is equal to or greater than the sum of the diameter of the disk-shaped valve and the outer diameter of the cylindrical bearing. On the other hand, if the opening of the present application has a width equal to or larger than the diameter dimension of the disk-shaped valve, the valve can be put in and taken out, and the opening can be made small.

The valve has a skirt that extends from the seating surface of the valve seat to the primary side, and the skirt narrows the passage area of the water flowing inside the cylindrical valve seat, thereby increasing the rotation angle of the valve. can increase the amount of rotation of the rod.

One end of the rod is biased in the valve opening direction by a separately installed biasing member, and when the valve is opened, the one end of the rod also rotates following the valve opening direction due to the action of the biasing member. The rotation range of the rod is restricted, and when the valve is opened more than a predetermined amount, the protruding portion and one end of the rod are separated and the rod is held at a predetermined position. When the opened valve returns to its closed state, one end of the rod is again latched by the projection and returns to its original initial position.

The projection can also be used as a grip when removing the valve from the opening. The protruding part is installed on the straight line where the opening and the bearing described above are installed. Thus, the width of the opening can be configured to be greater than the dimensions of the disc between the valve projection and the bearing. Also, the width of the opening can be configured to be smaller than the dimension from the tip of the protrusion of the valve to the bearing.

The running water detection device of the present invention has a lock device near the other end of the rod that can hold and release the rod at the initial position. By using the locking device, one end of the rod can be reliably engaged with the projecting portion when the cover is attached. In addition, the handle of the locking device protrudes from the edge of the cover while holding the rod, so that it is possible to easily determine whether the locking device is held or released.

According to the present invention, the size and weight of the main body can be reduced by providing the main body with the accommodating portion for accommodating the valve in the fully open state to suppress the height of the main body, and by suppressing the area and width of the opening. In addition to this, the locking device ensures that one end of the rod is engaged with the projecting portion during the operation of attaching the cover. Furthermore, it is possible to easily determine whether the lock device is held or held, and restoration work can be reliably carried out during maintenance work or the like.

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. FIG. A running water detection device V1 of the first embodiment is composed of a main body 1, a housing 2, and a drain valve 3. As shown in FIG.

The main body 1 has a hollow shape, and the interior is divided into a primary side chamber I and a secondary side chamber II by a partition wall 4 . A communication hole 5 is formed in the partition wall 4, and an annular valve seat 6 is installed on the secondary side chamber II side of the communication hole 5. As shown in FIG.

A valve body 7 is seated on the valve seat 6, and a cylindrical bearing 8 is formed on a part of the peripheral edge of the valve body 7. It is inserted through the hole of 8. The valve stem 9 is shorter than the bearing 8, so that it can be easily attached and detached even when there is almost no working space around the main body 1. - 特許庁Further, the tip portion of the valve stem 9 inserted through the hole of the bearing 8 has a tapered shape so that it can be easily inserted even if the hole of the bearing 8 is not visible.

The valve body 7 is configured to be rotatable in the direction of the secondary side II about the valve stem 9. When the valve body 7 is rotated, the valve body 7 is separated from the valve seat 6, and the fluid in the primary side chamber I is formed into an annular shape. can pass through the valve seat 6 to the secondary side chamber II. The valve body 7 has a skirt 7a arranged inside the valve seat 6 when the valve is closed. The skirt 7a extends from the valve seat seating surface of the valve body 7 to the primary side I when the valve is in the closed state. The area through which water passes is restricted, and the rotation angle of the valve body 7 is amplified.

The valve body 7 is provided with a protruding portion 10 formed so as to protrude from the edge. As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 1 has an opening 1a shown by a dashed line on the front surface thereof, and has a cover 1b for closing the opening 1a. The protrusion 10 of the valve body 7 is arranged on the front side near the opening 1a, and the bearing 8 is arranged on the back side. Thus, the protruding portion 10 is installed at the farthest position from the bearing 8 . The width of the protrusion 10 is substantially the same as the width of the bearing 8 . As shown in FIG. 4, the valve body 7 is formed with a convex portion 7b whose upper part is curved in a convex shape. In some cases, interference between the opening 1a and the valve body 7 can be avoided.

As shown in FIG. 4, the valve body 7 has a disc portion 7c between the bearing 8 and the projecting portion 10. A skirt 7a is provided below the disc portion 7c, and a convex portion 7b is provided above the disc portion 7c. . The opening 1a, the bearing 8, and the protrusion 10 are arranged on a straight line that intersects an imaginary plane (for example, the plane of the cover 1b) parallel to the center line of the main body (line AA in FIG. 1). With such a configuration, the width of the opening 1a can be suppressed to the minimum dimension through which the disk portion 7c can pass.

The valve body 7 is provided with the skirt 7a, the convex portion 7b, and the projecting portion 10 as described above. With these configurations, the weight of the valve body 7 is ensured, and stable water shut-off is obtained. Specifically, when the secondary side II is decompressed by a minute leak from the joint of the pipe connected to the secondary side II and the auxiliary pump (not shown) is activated for a short time, the valve body 7 opens and the secondary side Water is sent to II. When the pressure on the secondary side II recovers above a predetermined level, the auxiliary pump stops and the valve body 7 returns to the closed state. At this time, the skirt 7a, the convex portion 7b, and the projecting portion 10 function as a weight, and the valve body 7 quickly returns to the closed state, thereby obtaining a water cutoff. Due to these configurations, the volume occupied by the valve body 7 in the internal space of the main body 1 is large, which has been a problem in making the body 1 smaller and lighter. is configured as described above, the size and weight of the main body 1 can be reduced.

An end 11A of a rod 11 installed through the cover 1b is in contact with the surface of the protrusion 10 on the valve seat 6 side. The rod 11 is pivotally supported in the middle, and the rod 11 is configured to be vertically rotatable in the drawing.

An end 11A of the rod 11 in contact with the valve element 7 and an end 11B opposite to the end 11A protrude from the cover 1b and are covered with the housing 2. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the end 11B is provided with a spring seat 12 protruding upward in the drawing, and coaxially with the spring seat 12 is another spring seat 13 provided on the base 2a of the housing 2. is provided. A coil spring 14 is provided between the spring seats 12 and 13 as an elastic body (biasing member).

The end 11B of the rod 11 is normally urged downward in the figure by the coil spring 14 . An intermediate shaft 19 of the rod 11 urges the end 11A opposite to the end 11B upward in the drawing, that is, in the direction in which the valve body 7 opens, but the force exerted by the coil spring 14 is so weak that the valve body 7 does not open. Power. When the projecting portion 10 is separated from the end 11A of the rod 11, the rod 11 rotates due to the action of the coil spring 14 and moves to a position shifted from the initial position when the valve is closed.

At the end 11B of the rod 11, a contactor 16 that comes into contact with the operating piece 15 is rotatably installed. A spring seat 12 is mounted on one end of the contactor 16, and the contactor 16 and the rod 11 are always on the same straight line due to the action of the coil spring 14. As shown in FIG. A curved portion 16 a at the tip of the other end of the contact 16 engages the operating piece 15 , and the operating piece 15 is spaced apart from the limit switch 17 .

A delay mechanism 18 is installed above the operating piece 15 in the drawing. The delay mechanism 18 has the effect of delaying the operation of the operating piece 15, and has a structure using an air damper or an oil damper. The delay mechanism 18 prevents the limit switch 17 from outputting a signal when the previously described auxiliary pump is activated. A detailed description of the delay mechanism 18 is omitted.

The housing 2 comprises a base 2a and a lid 2b, and the spring seats 12 and 13, the coil spring 14, the operating piece 15, the contact 16, the limit switch 17, and the delay mechanism 18 described above are mounted on the housing 2 on the cover 1b. housed inside.

The base 2a is plate-shaped and has a hole through which the rod 11 is inserted. A rotating shaft 19 for the rod 11 is installed on the surface of the base 2a facing the cover 1b, and a handle 20 is installed on the opposite surface as a locking device capable of blocking the movement of the rod 11 (see FIG. 6). ). The handle 20 has an elongated plate shape and has an elongated hole 21 in its middle portion. One end side of the handle 20 is an engaging portion 22 with the rod 11, and a tapered portion 22A that tapers toward the distal end side is formed. The tip 22B is formed in a rounded curved shape. The other end side is an operation portion 23 that the operator grasps by hand and moves the handle 20 .

As shown in FIG. 6, the handle 20 always has the operating portion 23 housed in the base 2a (unlocked state). When the handle 20 is rotated clockwise in the drawing and pushed in the direction of the rod 11, the movement of the rod 11 can be blocked, and the operating portion 23 protrudes from the base 2a (locked state). Thus, the operator can easily determine that the signal cannot be output from the limit switch 17 due to the positional relationship between the operating portion 23 and the base 2a.

Also, even if the operator tries to attach the lid 2b to the base 2a in the locked state, the operating portion 23 is in a state protruding from the base 2a, so the lid 2b cannot be attached to the base 2a. As a result, even an inexperienced worker can feel an abnormality that the lid 2b cannot be attached to the base 2a, and can release the locked state by reporting the abnormality to another skilled worker.

Stoppers 28A and 28B are formed on the base 2a as projections for guiding the operation when the handle 20 is rotated. When the handle 20 is rotated clockwise from the unlocked state to the locked state, the handle 20 comes into contact with the stopper 28A and rotates approximately 90° from its original position. The protrusion 28A acts as a stopper to prevent the handle 20 from rotating further, and the rotatable angle range of the handle 20 is restricted (see FIG. 7).

When the handle 20 is slid along the elongated hole 21 as indicated by broken lines in FIG. At this time, even if the rod 11 is slightly inclined downward and is in contact with the tapered portion 22A, the handle 20 can be smoothly slid without being caught. At the same time, the tip 22B of the handle 20 slides while contacting the guide portion 28C formed by partially rounding the edge of the stopper 28B.

By sliding the handle 20, the tip 22B of the engaging portion 22 is guided onto the stopper 28B, and the side 22C on the side opposite to the tapered portion 22A engages with the stopper 28B. At the same time, the stopper 28A is also brought into contact with one side of the handle 20, and the stoppers 28A, 28B and the handle 20 are held with almost no gap. As a result, it is possible to maintain the locked state in which the rod 11 is prevented from moving by the handle 20 .

In this state, the drain valve 3 is installed in the direction of the handle 20 protruding from the base 2a. Thus, when the cover 1b is attached to the opening 1a after being detached, the cover 1b can be correctly attached to the opening 1a by aligning the direction of the handle 20 with the direction of installation of the drain valve.

The lid 2b covers the limit switch 17, the delay mechanism 18, and the terminal block (not shown) installed on the base B to protect them from dust and water droplets. When the lid 2b is removed, the internal structure of the housing 2 supported by the L-shaped base 2a is largely exposed. is good.

The drain valve 3 is a valve for discharging the fluid inside the main body 1 to the outside during inspection and maintenance, and is installed on either side of the main body 1 . The inside of the drain valve 3 has an angle valve structure, and the drain port is provided downward in FIG.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the main body 1 along line DD shown in FIG. The secondary side II is provided with a cylindrical accommodating portion 1d for accommodating the valve body 7 when opened, and a bearing 8 is provided below the accommodating portion 1d. The accommodating portion 1d has a tubular shape and extends to the rear side of the main body 1, and a part thereof reaches the inner peripheral portion of the secondary side II flange F2 of the main body 1. As shown in FIG. The inner diameter of the accommodating portion 1d is larger than the outer diameter of the disk portion 7c of the valve body 7, and has a curved back surface 1e along the shape of the convex portion 7b of the valve body 7. As shown in FIG. In the open state of the valve body 7 indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, a projection 1f that abuts when the valve body 7 is opened is provided substantially at the center of the rear surface 1e.

A skirt 7a and a projecting portion 10 are provided on the valve body 7, and the skirt 7a and the projecting portion 10 obstruct the flow when the valve body 7 is fully opened. By increasing the amount of rotation of 7, the pressure loss when a large amount of water flows from the primary side I to the secondary side II of the main body 1 can be reduced. In addition, by providing the accommodating portion 1d, the dimension from the partition wall 4 to the secondary side flange F2 is reduced, the height dimension of the main body 1 is suppressed, and the main body 1 can be miniaturized.

Next, the operation of the above-described running water detection device V1 in the event of a fire will be described.

The flowing water detector V1 has a primary side I connected to a water source and a pump (not shown), and a secondary side II connected to a sprinkler head (not shown). The inside of the fire extinguishing equipment piping is in a state of being filled with water, and the inside of the main body 1 of the water flow detection device is also in a state of being filled with water in the primary side chamber I and the secondary side chamber II. In normal times, the valve body 7 of the flowing water detection device V1 is in the closed state where the valve body 7 is seated on the valve seat 6, and the water pressures on the primary side I and the secondary side II are substantially equal.

When a fire breaks out and the sprinkler head installed in the piping on the secondary side chamber II side is activated, the water in the piping on the secondary side chamber II side is discharged from the sprinkler head, and the pressure gradually decreases. When the pressure of the water in the secondary side chamber II that closes the valve disc 7 decreases and becomes lower than the pressure in the primary side chamber I, the valve disc 7 is pushed up by the pressure difference between the secondary side chamber II and the primary side chamber I, and the valve stem 9 fulcrum. The amount of water discharged from the sprinkler head is small enough to slightly rotate the valve body 7 of the water flow detector V1, but the skirt 7a restricts the water flow area inside the valve seat 6. Therefore, the amount of rotation of the valve body 7 is amplified.

Since the valve body 7 is separated from the valve seat 6 and opened, the water in the primary side chamber I is sent to the secondary side chamber II side. At the same time, the rotation of the valve body 7 causes the rod 11 engaged with the projecting portion 10 to rotate around the shaft 19 by the coil spring 14 installed at the end 11B. As a result, the end 11A moves in the valve opening direction and the end 11B moves in the direction of the limit switch 17. As shown in FIG.

The actuating piece 15 locked by the end 11B is unlocked by the movement of the end 11B, and moves toward the limit switch 17 by the action of the biasing member (not shown) in the delay device 18. FIG. At this time, the operation of the actuating piece 15 is slowed down by the delay device 18, and the limit switch 17 is actuated several seconds to ten and several seconds after the end 11B is unlocked.

When the limit switch 17 is actuated, an alarm is output to a receiving panel (not shown) to notify the occurrence of a fire in the building and prompt evacuation guidance. Subsequently, the pump is activated to start pumping water from the water source to the activated sprinkler head. When water supply is started by activating the pump, the valve body 7 is fully opened and accommodated in the accommodating portion 1d. Water is continuously sprayed from the sprinkler head to extinguish the fire.

Next, a method for attaching and detaching the cover 1b in the running water detection device V1 will be described.

The running water detection device V1 is installed on the fire extinguishing equipment pipe and is always filled with water inside. When cleaning or maintaining the inside of the flowing water detector V1, the drain valve 3 is opened to drain the water in the pipe, and then the cover 1b is removed.

At this time, before removing the cover 1b, the lid 2b of the housing 2 is removed and the handle 20 is turned toward the drain valve 3. As shown in FIG. The movement of the rod 11 is blocked by the rotation of the handle 20, and the initial state in which the contactor 16 and the operating piece 15 are engaged is maintained.

After removing the cover 1b, the valve body 7 is taken out from the opening 1a. Before that, the two valve stems 9 are removed from the sides of the main body 1 and the valve stems 9 are pulled out from the bearings 8 . Subsequently, the valve body 7 is taken out from the opening 1a. At that time, the valve body 7 is first moved upward, the skirt 7a is pulled out from the valve seat 6, and the valve body 7 is taken out from the opening 1a. At this time, it is easier to perform the work if the protruding portion 10 arranged near the opening 1a is pinched with fingers to move the valve body 7. As shown in FIG.

With the valve body 7 removed from the body, the inside of the body 1 is cleaned, parts of the valve body 7 are replaced, and so on. After the work is completed, the valve body 7 is installed in the main body 1 in the reverse order of the removal procedure described above. After installing the valve stem 9 on the bearing 8 of the valve body 7, the cover 1b is attached to the opening 1a.

The cover 1b is provided with a rod 11 that engages with the protruding portion 10 of the valve body 7. Unless the end 11A of the rod 11 is properly set to its original position, the water flow detection device V1 cannot obtain its original function. Can not. However, the cover 1b has four bolt holes on its outer edge, and these bolt holes are arranged on a concentric circle at equal angles. can be installed in

Therefore, the end 11A of the rod 11 can be correctly set on the projecting portion 10 by attaching the cover 1b to the opening 1a with the direction of the handle 20 and the installation direction of the drain valve 3 aligned. Furthermore, since the handle 20 holds the rod 11 in the initial position where the valve body 7 is closed, the end 11A and the projecting portion 10 can be easily engaged.

When the attachment of the cover 1b is completed, the handle 20 is rotated so as to be accommodated inside the base 2a and returned to its original state. As a result, the rod 11 returns to the unlocked state. Further, the lid 2b is attached to the base 2a to complete all the work.

As described above, the housing 2 installed on the cover 1b has a handle 20 as an identification portion for confirming the mounting position with respect to the main body 1. As shown in FIG. As a modified example of the identification portion, an identification mark may be provided on the surface of the cover 1b to indicate the alignment position with the main body 1. FIG. For example, the direction in which the drain valve 3 is installed on the cover 1b may be identified by characters or surface irregularities. Further, a similar identification mark can be provided on the side of the main body 1 around the cover 1b.

Alternatively, the cover 1b may be installed so that the connecting part with the housing installed on the surface thereof is located on the primary side (bottom side) of the main body 1, or the fixing screw 2c for fixing the base 2a and the lid 2b of the housing 2 is attached to the main body 1. You may install so that it may be located in the primary side of

Furthermore, as a modification of the locking device of the first embodiment, a structure for preventing the operation of the operating piece 15 can be installed inside the housing 2 instead of the structure for preventing the operation of the rod 11 described above.
