In addition, in the description of the fire hose hot air drying apparatus according to the present invention, the fire hose is used for extinguishing a fire hose such as a fire hose provided in a fire fighting system provided in a building, as well as fire hoses of various lengths used in a fire department. The concept encompasses all the fire hoses

The liquid (moisture) discharged through the fire hose is a variety of types of disaster prevention liquid, such as a mixture of conventional tap water or disaster prevention chemicals, etc., but various types of the disaster prevention liquid, for the convenience of description in the present specification will be described by referring to the representative of the present invention There should be no restrictions on interpretation of rights.

In addition, although specifically referred to as a fire hose in the present specification, the present invention is not only a fire hose, it is used for the purpose of discharging water having a certain length, it is natural that it can be applied to all hoses to dry after use As such, such variations, changes, and modifications can be sufficiently predicted and reproduced by those skilled in the art, and therefore the interpretation of the rights of the present invention should not be limited.

First, the fire hose will be briefly described. As described above, the fire hose is for discharging water such as tap water or disaster prevention liquid for extinguishing a fire.

A hose jacket having a predetermined length or more and having a passage through which moisture is transported is provided on one side of the hose jacket and is called a coupling called a coupling to allow a water supply source or a fire hose to be coupled to each other while reducing a pressure of discharge of water.

As described above, the hose jacket, which occupies most of the length of the fire hose, is accompanied by a high injection pressure at a predetermined time when discharging water. (Double jacket),

In particular, filament polyester yarn or polyester is made of spun yarn, etc., and the passage inside the jacket is coated with synthetic resin or rubber (RUBBER) to strengthen the adhesive force and can be stored in roll form when storing to reduce the volume. It is usually manufactured to withstand high water pressure.

Therefore, due to the peculiar length and material of the fire hose, it is difficult to dry the fire hose after using the fire hose.

In particular, when the fire hose is hanged at a predetermined height to remove moisture in the fire hose, and then drooped down and naturally dried after draining, the parts where the inner surfaces are in contact with each other by the material and the surface tension of the water are There is a disadvantage that the circulation is not completely dry or the drying time is very long.

Accordingly, the present invention proposes a fire hose hot air drying apparatus that can solve the above problems by blowing heat (hot air, heat energy) into the hose by expanding the folded or bonded portion of the hose when drying the fire lake after use.
