Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a loading vehicle loaded with a portable fire pump.

When extinguishing a fire in a place where a fire pump truck cannot enter, such as a narrow road or a crowded area, or when extinguishing a fire until a fire pump truck arrives, a portable type equipped with an engine or other power source is used. Fire pumps are used. Recently, in order to give this portable fire pump greater mobility and expand its range of action, the portable fire pump was removably mounted on the bed of a small truck along with the equipment and accessories necessary for firefighting. Equipment began to be used that could be transported to the firefighting site along with the personnel involved in firefighting operations. When carrying out fire extinguishing operations using a loaded vehicle equipped with a portable fire pump, it is desirable to start fire extinguishing operations quickly with the portable fire pump mounted on the loading platform when the truck can approach the scene of the fire. However, in conventional loading vehicles of this type, the portable fire pump was simply loaded onto the loading platform in a removable manner, so if the pump was to be used without being removed from the loading platform, it was necessary to place it on the loading platform of a narrow truck. The worker climbed up and operated the manual operating means provided on the pump itself. As a result, they were forced to work in an unstable position on the narrow loading platform of a truck, which was not only difficult to operate, but also dangerous.

The purpose of this invention is to improve operability and safety by enabling the operation of a portable fire pump mounted on the loading platform of a loading vehicle to be operated remotely from inside the truck cabin or from the ground. The object of the present invention is to provide a loading vehicle with an improved portable fire pump.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to illustrated embodiments.

In this embodiment, a double cab type truck is used as the truck 1 so that it can transport a large number of people engaged in firefighting activities. Reference numerals 2 and 3 are boxes and shelves for storing hoses provided in front of the loading platform 4, and the lower side is a box 2 that can open and close the left and right doors 5, and the upper part is a shelf 3 made of pipes. A water hose (not shown) is stored in the box. Reference numerals 6 and 6 denote frames attached to both left and right sides of the loading platform 4, and wound water suction pipes 7 and 7 and a fire extinguishing ladder 8 are securely loaded and held on these frames 6. Naturally, these water suction pipes 7 and fire extinguishing ladders 8 are designed to be easily removed at the site. 9 is a portable fire pump with a power source mounted near the rear of the center of the loading platform 4. This portable fire pump 9 is fixed to the loading platform 4 with metal fittings 10 so that it can be reliably and easily removed. A water inlet 11 and a water outlet 12 of the portable fire pump 9 are directed toward the front of the truck 1, and hoses 13 and 14 are connected to the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 with easily detachable joints. The hoses 13 and 14 are divided into two branches, and water inlets 15, 15 and water outlet 1 are attached to the left and right sides of the loading platform 4.
6 and 16. 17 is fire pump 9
This is a remote control operation panel attached to the side of the loading platform 4 of the truck 1 to remotely control the pump. A gauge 19 for monitoring external pressure, etc., various confirmation lamps 20 for confirming the operating status of the pump, an OK monitor device (not particularly shown) for confirming the status of each device necessary for pump operation, etc. are provided. There is. In addition to the various operation levers and buttons that are originally provided for manual operation of the pump, the portable fire pump 9 has remote control of the pump without impairing the original manual operation function. An operating device for remote control and various sensors for detecting the operating state of the pump are provided. This remote control operating device operates the pump by operating force applied by an electrically driven device such as a rotary solenoid, or by using an operating lever instead of or in addition to the electrically driven device. This device is equipped with an operation mechanism that operates the pump using an operating force mechanically applied via a cable device. They are removably connected via connectors, coupling fittings, and other connectors. With these configurations, the fire pump 9 can be operated using only the operation panel 17 without having to climb onto the truck bed and operate the manual operation means provided on the portable fire pump 9. It is also possible to check the operating status of the pump.

Depending on the chassis structure of the truck 1 or the user's request, the operation panel 17 may be installed on either the left or right side of the loading platform 4.
Alternatively, it can be installed near the driver's seat. Furthermore, this operation panel can be installed at multiple locations. Of course, the fire pump 9 can also be directly operated manually.

Further, 21 is a step for making it easier to climb onto the loading platform 4. 22, 22 is box 2 for storing hoses,
These are steps provided on the left and right sides of the shelf 3. The roof of the cabin is equipped with a red revolving light 23, an electric siren 24, and a marker light 25 necessary for an emergency vehicle. 26 is a searchlight.

The portable fire truck equipped with a fire pump of the above embodiment has maneuverability, and in particular, when a small truck is used as the truck, it can approach the fire scene by entering narrow roads that cannot be accessed by a fire pump truck. In the above embodiment, the fire pump 9 loaded on the loading platform 4 is connected to the water intake ports 15, 15 and the water outlets 16, 16 on the left and right sides of the loading platform via hoses 13, 14, so that it is difficult to approach the fire scene. If a water source such as a river or pond or the direction of water discharge is on either side of the loaded vehicle, immediately open the water intake or water outlet from the side of the vehicle to either the left or right without making a U-turn. You can connect the water intake pipe and water discharge hose to the water intake and water discharge ports of the pump by selecting . By providing the steps 22 and 22 as in the above embodiment, it is easy to take out the water spray hose (not shown) and the ladder, and there is no need to climb onto the loading platform and approach the fire pump to prepare for water spray. All work can be done next to the loading platform. In the present invention, since the operation panel 17 is located next to the loading platform 4 or inside the cabin, the fire pump can be reliably remotely operated while watching the confirmation lamp OK monitor device, etc., without having to climb onto the loading platform 4. Therefore, driving operations can be performed quickly, safely, and reliably. In addition, if the truck cannot approach the fire scene, climb onto the loading platform 4, remove the fire pump fixing fittings 10, disconnect the hose from the pump body, and disconnect the cord or other remote control connection means from the pump. It can be used as a portable fire pump.
