The functional fire hose of the present invention includes a flexible hose body; First and second hose connectors coupled to both ends of the hose body for connection with a water pipe; And a self-closing valve provided at a position adjacent to at least one of the first and second hose connectors for selectively interrupting the flow of water through the hose main body.

Description

A fire hose

The present invention relates to a functional fire hose, and more specifically, it is possible to connect a water pipe easily even in a night or in a situation where it is difficult to carry out a radio wave, as well as proceeding a water pipe connection work without stopping a pump operation of a vehicle, And thus the time required for the extension of the water pipe can be remarkably reduced more than before.

A fire hose is a flexible tube connected to a fire truck at a fire site to deliver water for fire fighting. Depending on the standard, the fire hose has a length of several meters (m).

The fire hose includes a pair of hose connectors provided at both ends and a flexible hose provided between the pair of hose connectors.

On the other hand, the fire hose is usually used by being connected to a first water pipe connected to a fire truck with a first hose connector constituting one end thereof.

If a water pipe is required to further extend the first water pipe and water is being used, a new second water pipe may be connected to the second hose connector, which constitutes the other end of the fire hose. In this case, It is very inconvenient to work.

Particularly, considering the fact that it takes a long time to extend the water pipe at night or in a situation where it is difficult to do radio transmission, and it is not easy for the water connection work alone, considering the necessity of a new type of fire hose do.

Korea Patent Office Application No. 10-1998-0039286 Korea Patent Office Application No. 10-2001-0047220 Korea Patent Office Application No. 10-2003-0010627 Korea Patent Office Application No. 10-2009-0038195

The object of the present invention is to enable the connection of the water pipes even if the pump operation of the vehicle is not stopped, and also the water pipes can be connected easily even in the nighttime or in a situation where the radio is difficult to be radiated. And to provide a functional fire hose that can be reduced significantly more.

The object is achieved by a flexible hose body; First and second hose connectors coupled to both ends of the hose body for connection with a water pipe; And a self-closing valve provided at a position adjacent to at least one of the first and second hose connectors for selectively interrupting the flow of water through the hose main body. Which is achieved by a functional fire hose.

Wherein the self-valve is an electromagnetic self-valve which can be electronically controlled, and that inputs a signal for operation of the electronic self-valve; And a controller for controlling the operation of the electronic self-valve based on an input signal of the remote control.

Wherein the self-valve includes: a valve body having a flow hole through which water flows, the valve body having a communication hole communicating with the flow hole on a side wall thereof; A neck to which the rotary knob is connected; And a rotating ball connected to an end of the neck, disposed in the flow hole through the communication hole, and having a through-hole formed therein in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the rotary knob.

And a foldable valve protection cover which folds and unfolds the self-valve to protect the self-valve while protecting the hose body adjacent to the self-valve.

According to the present invention, even if the pump operation of the vehicle is not stopped, the water pipe connection work can be performed, and the water pipe can be easily connected even at nighttime or in a situation where the electric wave is difficult to be carried. There is an effect that remarkably decreases.

FIG. 1 is a structural view of a functional fire hose according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a view showing a state where a first water pipe is connected to the functional fire hose of FIG. 1, and FIG. Figs. 4 and 5 are operational diagrams of the self-valve, and Figs. 6 and 7 are actual images corresponding to Figs. 2 and 3, respectively.

Referring to these drawings, the functional fire hose 100 according to the present embodiment can not only stop the water pipe connection operation without stopping the pump operation of the vehicle, but also can easily connect the water pipe The hose main body 110, the first and second hose connectors 121 and 122, and the self-valve 130, which can significantly reduce the time required to extend the water pipe, .

The hose main body 110 is a hose for transferring water supplied from a fire engine or a fire hydrant and can be made of a flexible material, especially a flame retardant material, for convenience of handling, handling and storage. (m) and so on.

The first and second hose connectors 121 and 122 are connected to both ends of the hose main body 110 and are connected to the first and second water pipes 11 and 12.

On the other hand, since the functional fire hose 100, which is a standard product, has a short length, the first water pipe 11 is normally opened and waterproofed as shown in Figs. 2 and 6. When the length of the functional water fire hose 100 is required to be longer, A new second water pipe 12 can be connected to the other end of the fire hose 100. In the prior art, it has been necessary to work after stopping the pump operation of the vehicle. Therefore, the operation is quite inconvenient. In particular, under the situation where it is difficult to carry out the nighttime or electrification, the connection work of the second water pipe 12 is not easy.

Accordingly, in the present embodiment, the self-valve 130 is applied to the functional fire hose 100 to solve these problems.

The self-valve 130 is provided at a position adjacent to the first hose connector 121 and selectively interrupts the flow of water through the hose body 110.

In this embodiment, the self-valve 130 may be applied as a mechanical valve. The self-valve 130 is provided with a rotary knob 131 for ease of operation.

5, when the rotary knob 131 is rotated, the flow of water through the functional fire hose 100 can be blocked. In this state, a new second water pipe (not shown) is attached to the other end of the functional fire hose 100 12) can be connected and used.

Hereinafter, the function of the functional fire hose 100 according to the present embodiment will be described.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the first water pipe 11 is extended to the first hose connector 121 and the water pipe is required to be waterproofed, that is, when the second water pipe 12 is further required, A new second water pipe 12 can be connected to the second hose connector 122 constituting the other end of the functional fire hose 100 according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the second water pipe 12 is connected to the second water pipe 12, it is necessary to perform the operation after stopping the pump operation of the vehicle. However, in the present embodiment, Since the self-valve 120 is provided, the connection of the second water pipe 12 may be performed after the self-valve 120 is closed.

In such a case, especially, it is possible to prevent the time-consuming closing of the water pipe due to frequent nighttime or unstable situations like the conventional ones. Above all, firefighters can use the second water pipe (12) There is an advantage.

Actually, in the case of the fire fighting equipment according to the present embodiment, considering the fact that the time is very important in contrast to other equipment, the self-valve 120 is applied to the functional fire fighting hose 100, It can provide a very large effect.

According to the present embodiment having the structure and function as described above, the water pipe connection work can be carried out without stopping the pump operation of the vehicle, and the water pipe can be easily connected even at night or in a situation where it is difficult to radiate radio waves. It is possible to remarkably reduce the time required to extend the water pipe.
