Description

water flow detection device

The invention relates to a water flow detection device installed in a fire extinguishing equipment piping.

Fire extinguishing equipment such as sprinkler equipment or foam fire extinguishing equipment is equipped with a water flow detection device on the pipe connected to the sprinkler head (or foam head) from the water source. The water flow detection device adopts a check valve structure, which only allows the water source to flow in one direction of the sprinkler head.

As a conventional water flow detection device, there is one described in Patent Document 1, for example. As shown in Figure 9, the water flow detection device converts the opening action of the valve body 51 into the displacement of the rod 52 and the rocker 53, so that the switch 54 becomes an actuated state. The rod 52 is supported by a shaft in the middle, one end thereof is engaged with a protrusion 51 a provided on the edge of the valve body 51 , and the hammer W acts on the other end of the rod 52 . The weight W applies a load to the valve body 51 in the valve opening direction, and due to this load, the rod 52 follows the movement of the valve body 51 and is displaced when the valve is opened. In the water flow detection device of Patent Document 1, the above-mentioned rod 52, rocker 53, switch 54, etc. are provided on the cover 55 that blocks the opening of the body 51.

In the above-mentioned water flow detection device, the following restoration operations are performed: after opening the cover 55 for maintenance operations, the cover 55 is closed, and the front end of the rod 52 is engaged with the protruding portion 51a of the valve body 51 to return to the initial position. At this time, as mentioned above, by the hammer W acting on the rod 52, one end side of the rod 52 is located higher than the initial position. In this state, one end side of the rod 52 is in contact with the protruding portion 51a of the valve body 51. cause interference. Therefore, the reset part 56 provided below the valve body 51 is operated to close the cover 55 with the valve body 51 slightly open, and then the reset part 56 is restored to its original position, and the valve body 51 is set to the closed position. position, becoming the protrusion 51 and the rod 52 The state of the initial position of end-to-side engagement.

In the above water flow detection device, since the reset part is provided in the primary side chamber, it is difficult to miniaturize the main body. In addition, since the operating handle of the reset unit is located below the cover, there is a possibility of forgetting to release the reset unit after closing the cover. Therefore, during the restoration operation, sufficient attention must be paid to confirm whether the valve body and the rod are correctly engaged after the operation is completed.

In addition, due to the shortage of workers in recent years, construction sites are also promoting the efficiency of operations. Although valve devices such as water flow detection devices are relatively small in size, they weigh about tens of kilograms. In order to improve operation efficiency, the industry Expectations for lightweighting are increasing.

Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a water flow detection device that can be small and lightweight.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following water flow detection device.

The water flow detection device of the present invention includes: a hollow body connected to the fire extinguishing equipment piping; a valve that adopts a swing check valve structure inside the body; and a rod with one end engaged with the valve and the other end directed toward the above The outside of the body protrudes and is displaced by the opening and closing action of the valve; an opening allows the valve to enter and exit the body; a cover blocks the opening; and a switch is provided on the cover through the other end of the rod The valve is configured to output a signal through the displacement, and has a space for arranging the rod between the opening and the valve body.

Thereby, the height dimension of the water flow detection device can be suppressed to achieve compactness and weight reduction. Ruojin To explain specifically, for example, a plurality of bolt holes are drilled through the flanges that are disposed on the upper and lower ends of the body and are expanded outward. By using bolts installed in the bolt holes, the cover that closes the opening can be removed and assembled without hindering the opening. , the cover or opening is arranged near the edge of the flange further outside the bolt hole. This creates a space between the opening and the valve body.

In addition, in order to accurately detect the displacement caused by the opening of the valve body, the rod must ensure a predetermined length, and the length of the rod can be ensured through the space explained above. Furthermore, a protruding portion engaged with the rod is provided on the edge of the opening side of the valve body, and the protruding portion is arranged in the space mentioned above. When the valve is closed, one end of the rod is blocked on the valve seat side of the protrusion.

Furthermore, if a receiving portion for accommodating the fully-opened valve above the bearing of the valve is provided on the main body, the receiving portion can be used to send a large amount of water to the water flow detection device when the pump is started and the valve becomes fully open. Reduce pressure loss. The protruding portion is provided in a state of protruding from the secondary side of the body to the outside. The protruding portion expands only a part of the internal volume of the body, thereby reducing the internal volume of the entire body.

Furthermore, if the bearing and protrusion of the valve and the opening of the body are arranged on a straight line intersecting a virtual plane parallel to the central axis of the body, the opening area when the valve is moved in and out of the opening can be suppressed. In the water flow detection device of cited document 1 described above, the positional relationship between the valve bearing and the opening is such that the valve bearing is arranged at a position rotated 90 degrees relative to the position of the opening centered on the central axis of the body. . Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the width of the opening is greater than the sum of the diameter of the disc-shaped valve and the outer diameter of the cylindrical bearing in order to achieve entry and exit of the valve. On the other hand, as long as the opening in the present application has a width larger than the diameter of the disc-shaped valve, the valve can be moved in and out, and the opening can be formed smaller.

The valve has a skirt extending from the primary side of the valve seat mounting surface. By reducing the passage area of water flowing through the interior of the cylindrical valve seat through the skirt, the rotation angle of the valve can be enlarged, thereby increasing the rod's Amount of rotation.

One end of the rod is pushed in the valve opening direction by a separately provided pushing member. If the valve is opened, one end of the rod will also rotate in the valve opening direction due to the action of the pushing member. The rotation range of the rod is limited, and if the valve is opened more than a predetermined degree, the protrusion will separate from one end of the rod and the rod will be stuck at a predetermined position. When the open valve returns to the closed state, one end of the rod is blocked by the protrusion again and returns to its original initial position.

In addition, the protruding portion can be used as a holding portion when removing the valve from the opening. The protruding portion is arranged on the straight line where the opening and the bearing are arranged as described above. Thus, the width of the opening can be configured to be larger than the size of the disc portion between the protruding portion of the valve and the bearing. Furthermore, the width of the opening may be smaller than the size from the front end of the protruding portion of the valve to the bearing.

The water flow detection device of the present invention has a locking device near the other end side of the rod that can maintain/release the rod in its initial position. If a locking device is used, one end of the rod can be reliably engaged with the protruding portion when the cover is installed. In addition, the handle of the locking device protrudes from the edge of the cover while retaining the lever, so that the holding/released state of the locking device can be easily judged.

According to the present invention, the main body can be provided with a space for disposing the rod between the opening and the valve body, or a receiving portion for accommodating the valve in a fully open state, thereby suppressing the height dimension of the main body and achieving compactness and weight reduction of the main body. In addition, with the locking device, one end of the rod can be reliably engaged with the protruding portion during installation of the cover. Furthermore, the holding/holding release state of the locking device can be easily determined, and restoration work can be reliably performed during maintenance work or the like.

Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7 . The water flow detection device V1 of the first embodiment is composed of a main body 1, a housing 2, and a drain valve 3.

The main body 1 has a hollow shape, and the interior is divided into a primary side chamber I and a secondary side chamber II by a partition wall 4 . A communication hole 5 is provided in the partition wall 4 , and an annular valve seat 6 is provided on the secondary side chamber II side of the communication hole 5 .

The valve body 7 is mounted on the valve seat 6. A cylindrical bearing 8 is formed on a part of the periphery of the valve body 7. Two valve stems 9 penetrate the side of the body 1 and are inserted into the holes of the bearing 8. The valve stem 9 is shorter than the bearing 8 and can be easily disassembled and assembled even when there is almost no working space around the main body 1 . In addition, the front end of the valve stem 9 inserted into the hole of the bearing 8 has a tapered end, and can be easily inserted even if the hole of the bearing 8 is in a position where it cannot be seen visually.

The valve body 7 is configured to rotate freely toward the secondary chamber II with the valve stem 9 as the axis. If the valve body 7 rotates, the valve body 7 leaves the valve seat 6, and the fluid in the primary chamber I can pass through the annular valve seat. 6 and passes through the secondary side chamber II. The valve body 7 has a skirt 7a arranged inside the valve seat 6 when the valve is closed. When the skirt 7a is in the valve-closing state, it extends from the valve seat mounting surface of the valve body 7 to the primary side chamber I. When the valve body 7 performs an opening action in the valve-closing state, the water flowing through the valve seat 6 is narrowed by the skirt 7a passing area, thereby amplifying the rotation of the valve body 7 angle.

The valve body 7 is provided with a protruding portion 10 protruding from the edge. As shown in FIG. 1 , an opening 1 a shown in dotted lines is provided on the front surface of the body 1 , and a cover 1 b is provided to block the opening 1 a. The protruding portion 10 of the valve body 7 is arranged on the front side near the opening 1a, and the bearing 8 is arranged on the back side. As a result, the protrusion 10 is positioned farthest from the bearing 8 . The width of the protrusion 10 is approximately the same as the width of the bearing 8 . In addition, as shown in Figure 4, the valve body 7 is formed with a convex portion 7b whose upper part is curved into a convex shape. This can ensure the weight of the valve body 7 and avoid the opening 1a when the valve body 7 is taken out from the circular opening 1a. Interference with valve body 7.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the valve body 7 forms a disc portion 7c between the bearing 8 and the protruding portion 10. A skirt portion 7a is provided below the disc portion 7c, and a convex portion 7b is provided above the disc portion 7c. The opening 1a, the bearing 8, and the protruding portion 10 are arranged on a straight line intersecting an imaginary plane (for example, the plane of the cover 1b) parallel to the center line of the body (line A-A in Figure 1). By adopting this structure, the width of the opening 1a can be suppressed to the minimum size through which the disk portion 7c can pass.

As described above, the valve body 7 is provided with the skirt portion 7a, the convex portion 7b, and the protruding portion 10. With these structures, the weight of the valve body 7 can be ensured and stable water-stopping properties can be obtained. To explain specifically, due to a slight leakage from the joint of the piping connected to the secondary chamber II, the secondary chamber II is depressurized and an auxiliary pump (not shown) is started for a short time, and then the valve body 7 is opened to drain the water. Send to the secondary side chamber II. If the pressure of the secondary side chamber II returns to a predetermined level or above, the auxiliary pump stops and the valve body 7 returns to the closed state. At this time, the skirt portion 7a, the convex portion 7b, and the protruding portion 10 function as a hammer, and the valve body 7 quickly returns to the closed state to obtain water-stopping properties. With these structures, the volume occupied by the valve body 7 in the internal space of the body 1 becomes larger, which becomes a problem when making the body 1 smaller and lighter. However, by combining the bearing 8, the protrusion 10, and the opening of the valve body 7 The configuration of 1a is constructed in the above-mentioned manner, and the body 1 can be made smaller and lighter.

The end 11A of the rod 11 provided through the cover 1b is in contact with the surface of the protruding portion 10 on the valve seat 6 side. The rod 11 is supported by a shaft in the middle, and the rod 11 is rotatable up and down in the figure.

The end 11B of the rod 11 opposite to the end 11A in contact with the valve body 7 faces outward from the cover 1b. protrudes and is covered by the housing 2. As shown in FIG. 5 , the end 11B is provided with a spring seat 12 protruding upward in the figure, and coaxially with the spring seat 12 is provided another spring seat 13 provided at the base 2 a of the housing 2 . A coil spring 14 is provided between the two spring seats 12 and 13 as a resilient body (pressing member).

By the coil spring 14, the end 11B of the rod 11 is usually pushed downward in the figure. Through the middle shaft 19 of the rod 11, the end 11A on the opposite side of the end 11B is pushed upward in the figure, that is, in the direction in which the valve body 7 opens, but the force exerted by the coil spring 14 is weak enough not to open the valve body 7. Power. If the protrusion 10 leaves the end 11A of the rod 11, the rod 11 rotates due to the action of the coil spring 14 and moves to a position deviated from the initial position when the valve is closed.

The end 11B of the rod 11 is rotatably provided with a contact 16 in contact with the actuating piece 15 . A spring seat 12 is placed on one end of the contact 16. Due to the action of the coil spring 14, the contact 16 and the rod 11 are usually in the same straight line. The other end of the contact 16 is a bent portion 16a at its front end that engages the actuating piece 15. The actuating piece 15 is spaced apart from the limit switch 17. The limit switch 17 is actuated through the actuating piece 15 that is displaced by releasing the engagement between the actuating piece 15 and the curved portion 16 a by using the rotation of the rod 11 .

In the figure, a delay mechanism 18 is provided above the actuating piece 15 . The delay mechanism 18 has the function of delaying the movement of the actuating piece 15, and utilizes a structure using an air damper or an oil damper. The delay mechanism 18 prevents the output signal from the limit switch 17 when the auxiliary pump described above is started. Detailed description of the delay mechanism 18 is omitted.

The housing 2 is composed of a base 2a and a cover 2b. The spring seat 12, the spring seat 13, the coil spring 14, the actuator 15, the contact 16, the limit switch 17, and the delay mechanism 18 described above are accommodated in the cover. The inside of the housing 2 on 1b.

The base 2a is plate-shaped and has a hole through which the rod 11 is inserted. The rotation axis 19 of the lever 11 is provided on the surface of the base 2a facing the cover 1b, and the handle 20 is provided on the opposite surface as a locking device that can prevent the movement of the lever 11 (see Figure 6). The handle 20 is in the shape of an elongated plate and has a long hole 21 in the middle part. One end side of the handle 20 serves as an engaging portion 22 with the rod 11, and a tapered portion 22A tapering toward the front end is formed. front end 22B is formed in a slightly round curve shape. The other end side becomes the operating portion 23 for the operator to hold and move the handle 20 .

As shown in FIG. 6 , the handle 20 normally stores the operating part 23 in the base part 2 a (unlocked state). If the handle 20 is rotated clockwise in the figure and pushed into the direction of the rod 11, the movement of the rod 11 is prevented, and the operating portion 23 becomes in a state of protruding from the base portion 2a (locked state). Therefore, the operator can easily determine the state in which the signal cannot be output from the limit switch 17 based on the positional relationship between the operating part 23 and the base part 2a.

Furthermore, even if the operator wants to install the cover 2b on the base 2a in the locked state, the operator cannot install the cover 2b on the base 2a because the operating part 23 protrudes from the base 2a. Thereby, even a person who is not familiar with the work can feel an abnormality due to the inability to attach the cover 2b to the base 2a, report it to other skilled workers, and take measures to solve the problem, thereby releasing the locked state.

Stoppers 28A and 28B are formed on the base 2a as protrusions that guide the movement of the handle 20 when the handle 20 is rotated. When the handle 20 is rotated clockwise from the unlocked state to the locked state, the handle 20 comes into contact with the stopper 28A and is rotated approximately 90° from the original position. The protrusion serves as a stop to prevent the handle 20 from rotating beyond this angle, and limits the angular range in which the handle 20 can rotate (see FIG. 7 ).

As shown by the dotted line in FIG. 7 , when the handle 20 is slid along the elongated hole 21 , the tapered portion 22A of the engaging portion 22 moves along the peripheral surface of the rod 11 . At this time, even if the rod 11 is slightly tilted downward and comes into contact with the tapered portion 22A, the handle 20 can be smoothly slid and moved without being stuck. Furthermore, the front end 22B of the handle 20 slides while being in contact with the guide portion 28C formed in a substantially circular shape at a part of the edge of the stopper 28B.

By sliding the handle 20, the front end 22B of the engaging portion 22 is guided to the stopper 28B, and the edge 22C on the opposite side to the tapered portion 22A is engaged with the stopper 28B. At the same time, the stopper 28A is also in contact with one side of the handle 20, and is maintained in a state where there is almost no gap between the stoppers 28A, 28B and the handle 20. Thereby, the locked state in which the movement of the lever 11 is prevented by the handle 20 can be maintained.

In this state, a drain valve 3 is provided in the direction of the handle 20 extending from the base 2a. Thereby, when the cover 1b is installed in the opening 1a in a self-detached state, the direction of the handle 20 is consistent with the direction in which the drain valve is installed, so that the cover 1b can be correctly installed in the opening 1a.

The cover 2b covers the limit switch 17, the delay mechanism 18, and the terminal block (not shown) provided on the base 2a to protect them from contamination by dirt or water droplets. If this cover 2b is removed, the internal structure of the housing 2 supported by the L-shaped base 2a is largely exposed, so that the workability of wiring work or inspection work of the limit switch 17, terminal block, etc. accommodated in the housing 2 is reduced. good.

The drain valve 3 is a valve that discharges the fluid in the body 1 to the outside during inspection or maintenance, and is installed on any side of the body 1 . The inside of the drain valve 3 has an angle valve structure, and the discharge port is set downward in FIG. 1 .

Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view of the body 1 along the D-D line shown in Figure 3. The secondary side chamber II is provided with a cylindrical receiving portion 1d for accommodating the valve body 7 when opened, and a bearing 8 is provided below the receiving portion 1d. The accommodating portion 1d is cylindrical and extends toward the back side of the body 1, and a part of it extends to the inner peripheral portion of the flange F2 of the secondary chamber II of the body 1. The inner diameter of the accommodating portion 1d is larger than the outer diameter of the disc portion 7c of the valve body 7, and has a curved back surface 1e formed along the shape of the convex portion 7b of the valve body 7. In the open state of the valve body 7 shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, a protrusion 1f that contacts the valve body 7 when it is opened is provided at approximately the center of the back surface 1e.

The valve body 7 is provided with a skirt 7a and a protrusion 10. When the valve body 7 is fully open, the skirt 7a and the protrusion 10 will hinder the flow. However, by providing the receiving portion 1d, the rotation of the valve body 7 is increased when the valve body 7 is fully open. quantity, thereby reducing the pressure loss when a large amount of water flows from the primary side chamber I to the secondary side chamber II of the body 1. In addition, by providing the receiving portion 1d, the size of the flange F2 from the partition wall 4 to the secondary chamber II can be reduced, thereby suppressing the height dimension of the main body 1, thereby miniaturizing the main body 1.

Next, the operation of the above-mentioned water flow detection device V1 during a fire will be described.

For the water flow detection device V1, the primary side chamber I is connected to a water source or pump not shown in the figure, and the secondary side chamber II is connected to a sprinkler head not shown in the figure. The fire extinguishing equipment piping is filled with water, and the water flow detection device The interior of the body 1 is also in a water-filled state in the primary side chamber I and the secondary side chamber II. Normally, the valve body 7 of the water flow detection device V1 is placed in the closed state of the valve seat 6, and the water pressures in the primary side chamber I and the secondary side chamber II are approximately equal.

If a fire occurs and the sprinkler head installed in the piping on the secondary side chamber II side is activated, the water in the piping on the secondary side chamber II side will be released from the sprinkler head, thereby gradually reducing the pressure. If the water pressure in the secondary side chamber II of the valve body 7 is reduced and becomes lower than the pressure in the primary side chamber I, the valve body 7 will be pushed up by the pressure difference between the secondary side chamber II and the primary side chamber I, causing the valve to open. Rod 9 rotates around the fulcrum. The amount of water discharged from the sprinkler head is a small amount of water that causes the valve body 7 of the water flow detection device V1 to rotate a little. However, because the skirt 7a reduces the water passing area inside the valve seat 6, the valve body The amount of rotation of 7 is amplified.

When the valve body 7 is separated from the valve seat 6 and opened, the water in the primary side chamber I is sent to the secondary side chamber II side. At the same time, by the rotation of the valve body 7, the rod 11 engaged with the protrusion 10 rotates with the shaft 19 as the fulcrum through the coil spring 14 provided at the end 11B. Thereby, the end 11A moves in the valve opening direction, and the end 11B moves in the direction of the limit switch 17 .

The actuating piece 15 locked by the end 11B is unlocked by the movement of the end 11B, and moves toward the limit switch 17 by the action of a pressing member (not shown) in the delay device 18 . At this time, the action of the actuating piece 15 becomes slow due to the delay device 18, and the limit switch 17 is actuated after a few to more than ten seconds after the blocking of the end 11B is released.

By operating the limit switch 17, an alarm is output to a receiving panel not shown in the figure, notifying the occurrence of a fire in the building and prompting evacuation guidance. Then the pump starts and begins to deliver water from the water source to the activating sprinkler head. After the water supply is started by starting the pump, the valve body 7 becomes fully open and is accommodated in the accommodating portion 1d. Self-sprinkler heads continuously spray water to extinguish the fire.

Next, the installation and removal methods of the cover 1b in the above-mentioned water flow detection device V1 will be described.

The water flow detection device V1 is installed on the fire extinguishing equipment piping and is usually filled with water inside. state. When cleaning or maintaining the inside of the water flow detection device V1, open the drain valve 3 to drain the water in the pipe and then remove the cover 1b.

At this time, before removing the cover 1b, remove the cover 2b of the housing 2 and rotate the handle 20 in the direction of the drain valve 3. By the rotation of the handle 20, the movement of the rod 11 is blocked, and the initial state in which the contact element 16 engages with the actuating piece 15 is maintained.

After removing the cover 1b, take out the valve body 7 from the opening 1a. Before that, disassemble the two valve stems 9 from the side of the body 1 and pull out the valve stems 9 from the bearing 8. Then take out the valve body 7 from the opening 1a. At this time, the valve body 7 is first moved upward, the skirt 7a is pulled out from the valve seat 6, and the valve body 7 is taken out from the opening 1a. At this time, if the protruding portion 10 arranged near the opening 1a is held with fingers and the valve body 7 is moved, the operation is easy.

With the valve body 7 disassembled from the main body, cleaning of the interior of the main body 1 or replacement of parts of the valve body 7 is performed. After the operation is completed, the valve body 7 is installed in the body 1 in the reverse order of the above-mentioned disassembly order. After installing the valve stem 9 on the bearing 8 of the valve body 7, install the cover 1b on the opening 1a.

The cover 1b is provided with a rod 11 that engages with the protruding portion 10 of the valve body 7. If the end 11A of the rod 11 is not correctly set in the original position, the water flow detection device V1 cannot obtain its original function. However, the cover 1b is provided with four bolt holes on the outer edge. The bolt holes are arranged on concentric circles at equal angles. Therefore, the housing 2 provided on the cover 1b can be mounted on the body 1 regardless of the orientation.

Therefore, if the direction of the handle 20 is consistent with the installation direction of the drain valve 3 and the cover 1b is installed on the opening 1a, the end 11A of the rod 11 can be correctly installed on the protruding portion 10. Furthermore, since the lever 11 is held in the position of the initial state in which the valve body 7 is closed by the handle 20, the end 11A and the protruding portion 10 can be easily engaged.

After the installation of the cover 1b is completed, the handle 20 is rotated so as to be received inside the base 2a and returned to its original state. Thereby, the lever 11 returns to the unlocked state. Furthermore, the cover 2b is attached to the base 2a, and all the work is completed.

As explained above, the housing 2 provided on the cover 1b has the handle 20 as a confirmable The identification part of the installation position of the main body 1. As a modified example of the above-mentioned identification part, an identification display indicating the alignment position with the main body 1 may be provided on the surface of the cover 1 b. For example, the lid 1b may be provided with an identification display using characters or unevenness on the surface in the direction in which the drain valve 3 is installed.
