Generally, since the fire hose provided in the fire hydrant box or the fire hydrant box of the building is repeatedly used, the water remaining in the fire hose after use should be completely removed from the outside.

As a method of discharging water remaining in the fire hose, the fire hose is extended on the floor and dried, or it is dried by hanging on the outer wall of the building.

However, when the fire hose is dried by the above-described method, not only the fire hose is damaged by contact with the outer wall or the ground of the building, but also when the fire hose having a considerable length is folded without being completely unfolded, moisture is left in the folded portion When the fire hose is stored, there is a problem that the fire hose is easily corroded due to mold.

As an example of a technique for solving such a problem, a fire hose drying apparatus of Patent Publication No. 10-1462646 is disclosed.

The fire hose drying apparatus includes a pair of guide beams having rail grooves; A connecting beam connecting the upper side of the guide beam; A platform which is guided along a rail groove in a state in which both the bottom surface and both side surfaces are in contact with the rail groove of the guide beam and allows the fire hose to be mounted; A guide beam, a connecting beam, and a plurality of guiding sheaves constituting a platform and guiding movement of a wire fixed at one end to the connecting beam; A wire drum which is provided at one side of the guide beam and enables winding or winding of a wire guided through the sheave in a state where the other end of the wire is fixed; A drive motor connected to the wire drum for moving the platform up and down along the guide beam through guiding operations of a wire and a sheave wound or guided on the wire drum during normal and reverse rotation; An elevation sensor installed at an upper end and a lower end of the guide beam to sense elevation and lower limit positions of the platform; And control means for controlling the operation of the driving motor in accordance with an input signal from the outside and a sensing signal of the elevating sensor so that the elevating bar is elevated and operated within a range of the rising and falling limit positions.

However, in the conventional technique, the fire hose is simply installed in the platform and dried naturally for a long time. When the mounted fire hoses are stuck to each other, the water remaining in the fire hose is not easily discharged, There was a long problem.
