Description

Fire hydrant {FIRE HYDRANT}

More particularly, the present invention relates to a fire hydrant, and more particularly, to a fire hydrant capable of preventing a fire hydrant installed outdoors from being corroded or damaged by rainwater or other natural environment, or being damaged by carelessness, Which can display information such as a parking prohibition indication within 5m near the fire hydrant, or to make such information easily identifiable at night.

Fire hydrant is one of the fire-fighting facilities that are installed at a certain position on the road or building at certain intervals. The fire hydrant is connected to a fire truck which is dispatched in the event of a fire or the like, and supplies water for fire suppression.

Fire hydrants must be installed in buildings with a certain size or more, and are installed at regular intervals in the streets of the city. However, fire hydrants installed outside the building are often ignored due to unclear management subjects or lack of manpower, compared with fire hydrants installed in buildings. In addition, since fire hydrants are recognized to be used semi-permanently unless they are destroyed arbitrarily, management is often neglected.

However, fire hydrants installed outdoors are always exposed to rainwater and snow, so there is concern about corrosion. In the case of outdoor fire hydrant, since it is always exposed to people passing around, it is common that the various lock parts are tightly fastened so that they can not be easily opened. In this state, when the threads of the tap or the cover cover are corroded or damaged, It may take a considerable amount of time to open the fire hydrant and connect it to the fire engine. In serious cases, the fire hydrant may not operate properly and may cause serious damage in a fire where the initial suppression is important. And fire hydrants may hurt the aesthetics of the surroundings because of the rugged shape.

However, it is not good to install a partitioning type barrier or a blocking fence in all outdoor fire hydrants, and it is also difficult to use quickly in a fire scene when a locking device is installed, and moreover, excessive cost is incurred. Therefore, it is necessary to have a fire hydrant or its protection device that can protect the fire hydrant while preserving the shape of the present outdoor hydrant, and does not impair the beauty and convenience of the city.

Referring to FIG. 1, a fire hydrant 100 according to the present invention is characterized in that an upper cover 110 is provided on a fire hydrant 100. The construction of the fire hydrant 100 has the same configuration as that of the fire hydrant 100 generally used conventionally. The fire hydrant (100) is installed at regular intervals on roads or roads in densely populated areas, and serves to supply water required for fire suppression to a fire truck which is dispatched to the site when a fire occurs. The fire hydrant 100 is generally formed in a cross shape so that two outflow ports 103 protrude from both sides and an open top 105 is provided at an upper portion. The opening of the outlet 103 is tightly screwed to the opening 107 and the opening 105 is made of a rectangular or hexagonal shape so that it can be rotated by a tool such as a spanner 130 . When the stopper 105 of the outlet 103 is opened, water is drained to the outside, and when the stopper 107 is closed, the water is discharged to the outlet 103. At this time, if the stopper 107 of the outlet 103 is opened, The water will not flow out. When the fire or the like is generated by using such a principle, the water for fire fighting can be discharged to the desired outflow port 103, and the discharged water for fire fighting is supplied to a fire fighting vehicle or the like or used for direct fire suppression. Although the fire hydrant 100 having the above-described structure may have a slight difference in configuration, the basic configuration is the same, and it is needless to say that the detailed configuration and shape of the fire hydrant 100 may be variously designed . Therefore, changes in the detailed configuration of hydrants 100 should not be construed as affecting the interpretation of the scope of rights of the present invention.

 The fire hydrant 100 according to the present invention is provided with an upper cover 110 on an upper portion of a body provided with an open top 105 and an upper cover 110 coupled to the body of the fire hydrant 100 And a tool insertion hole 113 is formed in a side surface of the upper cover 110. The upper cover 110 may cover the upper portion of the fire hydrant 100 and may have various shapes as long as the tool insertion opening 113 can be provided. For example, in the figure, one end of a cylindrical top cover 110 is rotatably coupled to an upper portion of the fire hydrant 100, and the other end is a cylindrical type having a closed structure. However, The detailed design and structure of the upper cover 110 can be variously designed for use or for harmony with the surrounding environment. For example, the upper cover 110 may be rotatably coupled to the upper part of the fire hydrant 100 at one end, and may be formed into a shape of a natural object such as an animal shape or a tree, or a symbol of various characters or a local area It is. Thus, it can play a role of decorating the city aesthetics in normal times, and can perform the function of the fire hydrant 100 in case of emergency. The upper cover 110 is coupled at one end to the upper portion of the hydrator 100, and this technique can be implemented by various known techniques. For example, a circular seating groove (not shown) in which one end of the upper cover 110 is received is formed on the upper part of the hydrant 100, and one end of the upper cover 110 is mounted on the seating recess to rotate . In addition, a circular rim may be formed on the upper part of the fire hydrant 100, and a cylindrical upper cover 110 may be inserted into the circular rim. In addition, as long as the upper cover 110 is coupled to the upper portion of the fire hydrant 100 so as to be rotatable, the upper cover 110 may have various known shapes. At this time, the upper cover 110 preferably maintains some degree of airtightness and corrosion resistance.

A tool insertion opening 113 is provided on a side surface of the upper cover 110. The tool insertion port 113 is a hole for inserting a tool necessary for opening the open end 105 of the hydrant 100. Most fire hydrants 100 are formed such that the open end 105 has a short column shape having a rectangular cross section. Thus, when the open top 105 is rotated using a spanner 130 or the like, the fire hydrant 100 is opened and the fire suppression water flows out. The fire hydrant 100 according to the present invention is provided with the tool insertion port 113 on the side surface of the upper cover 110 so that the spanner 130 can be inserted into the tool insertion port 113 to rotate the open tap 105 . At this time, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the tool insertion opening 113 may be provided with a hinged door 115. When the fire hydrant 100 is to be used, the hinged door 115 is opened, a tool is inserted into the hinged door 115, and the open head 105 is rotated Can be done. The hinged door 115 may be formed so as to be opened and closed while being rotated in the vertical direction or the circumferential direction of the upper cover 110. If necessary, the hinged door 115 may be connected to a square or rectangular tool insertion port 113 with one side being hinged A hinged door 115 may be provided in which the hinged door 115 is provided and the other side of the hinged door 115 is separated from the upper cover 110 to be opened and closed. In addition, various known structures may be applied as long as the tool insertion opening 113 can be opened and closed. A plurality of hinged doors 115 may be provided along the circumferential direction of the upper cover 110 as required, and the specific shapes of the tool insertion opening and the hinged door can be variously designed.

Fire hydrants should be accessible at all times by fire trucks in case of emergency. Therefore, the illegal driving license is prohibited within 5m near the fire hydrant according to the Fire Service Act, and a penalty fee is imposed for the violation. However, due to lack of publicity and lack of interest, it is a reality that these laws are not kept well. Therefore, the upper cover 110 may be provided in the same manner as the fire hydrant according to the present invention, and a display for prohibiting the driving of the vehicle within 5 meters of the upper cover 110 and a penalty for violation may be displayed. In addition, the fire hydrant according to the present invention may be provided with light emitting means inside the upper cover of the fire hydrant or at the information display area, so that the guide mark can be easily recognized even at night.
