Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fresh water storage devices, and in particular to an island fresh water storage device. Background Art

[0002] The extreme shortage of fresh water resources on islands is one of the main constraints on island development. At present, the fresh water sources of islands mainly rely on rainfall and ship transportation, or obtained from seawater desalination devices. The transportation by ships is limited in scale due to the limitation of transportation capacity and the influence of climate. The seawater desalination device consumes a lot of energy. If the rainwater cannot be stored, it will flow into the sea and be wasted. If water storage equipment such as water bags are used to collect rainwater, there is not enough area to store the corresponding water storage equipment. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide an island freshwater storage device, which solves the problem that the existing island cannot place the storage device.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present invention is as follows: an island freshwater storage device, comprising a hexagonal ring support platform, the six corners of the bottom of the support platform are threadedly connected with support rods, each of the support rods is provided with a slide groove, each of the slide grooves is slidably connected with a slider, an air storage box located directly below the support platform is provided between every two adjacent sliders, the number of the air storage boxes is three, a water storage tank is connected between the three air storage boxes, a water pipe located on the lower side of the air bag and a ventilation pipe located on the upper side of the air bag are provided between two of the air storage boxes, a water pump is provided in any of the air storage boxes, a water pump is provided on the water pump, a water inlet pipe passing through the bottom of the air storage box is provided on the water inlet pipe There is a first solenoid valve; each of the air storage boxes is provided with a pressure valve and a second solenoid valve located above the pressure valve, a support net is embedded in the middle of the support platform, an air pump and an air compressor connected to the air pump are on the support net, and an air intake hose connected to any air storage box is provided on the air compressor; a first liquid level sensor, a temperature sensor and a battery are also provided on the support platform, the first liquid level sensor is connected to the water pump signal, the temperature sensor is connected to the water pump, the first battery valve, the second solenoid valve, the air pump, and the air compressor signal, and the battery is electrically connected to the first liquid level sensor, the temperature sensor, the air pump, the air compressor, the first battery valve, and the second battery valve respectively.

[0005] Principle and effect of the technical solution: The water tank in the storage device can be used to store fresh water. After collecting full fresh water, the water tank can be connected to the device and placed in the waters near the island. Since the density of the air tank and fresh water is less than the density of seawater, the device will float on the sea surface, thereby avoiding the storage device occupying the area of ​​the island, which is conducive to increasing the storage capacity. After the device is placed in the sea, the temperature sensor can be used to use a water pump to inject an appropriate amount of seawater into the air tank during the day when the temperature is high to achieve the sinking of the water tank. At night when the temperature is low, an air pump and an air compressor can be used to discharge the seawater in the air tank to achieve the buoyancy of the water tank, thereby minimizing the evaporation of fresh water in the water tank.

[0006] Furthermore, any two adjacent side surfaces of the support platform are provided with clamping blocks, and the other four side surfaces of the support platform are provided with concave cavities engaged with the clamping blocks, and the concave cavities of the support platforms are bolted to the clamping blocks.

[0007] Through the above arrangement, multiple support platforms can be connected by using cavities, blocks and bolts, thereby facilitating centralized storage and resisting wind and waves, and reducing the protection cost of fresh water storage.

[0008] Furthermore, a second liquid level sensor is provided on the bracket near the bottom of the air pump or the air compressor, the second liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the battery, and the second liquid level sensor is signal-connected to the air pump or the air compressor.

[0009] Through the above arrangement, the second liquid level sensor can be used to drain water and increase the buoyancy of the device when seawater approaches the air pump or the air compressor, thereby avoiding damage to components in the device and improving the stability of the device.

[0010] Furthermore, a third liquid level sensor is provided on the lower side of any of the air storage boxes near the bottom of the air storage box, the third liquid level sensor is connected to the air pump and the air compressor signal, and the third liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the battery.

[0011] Through the above arrangement, the air pump and the air compressor can be turned off after the air storage tank floats a certain distance above the sea surface, thereby saving energy.

[0012] Furthermore, a bracket is provided on the support platform, and a solar panel located directly above the support net is laid on the bracket, and the solar panel is electrically connected to the battery.

[0013] Through the above arrangement, the solar cell panels can be used to reasonably utilize the light energy, so that the device can be managed unmanned, thereby improving the intelligence of the device.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This solution can realize the storage of single or multiple fresh water storage devices without occupying the island area, which can effectively solve the problem of limited island area;

[0016] 2. This solution can reduce the evaporation of fresh water in the water tank, so that it is always in the best temperature environment;

[0017] 3. This plan can achieve energy self-sufficiency, and the excess energy can be stored for use on the island, which is conducive to energy conservation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Example

[0023] As attached Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown: an island freshwater storage device, including a hexagonal ring support platform 1, the width of the support platform 1 is not less than 30cm, so as to facilitate maintenance and overhaul. Blocks 18 are welded to any two adjacent side surfaces of the support platform 1, and concave cavities 19 engaged with the block 18 are welded to the other four adjacent side surfaces of the support platform 1. The lengths of the block 18 and the concave cavities 19 are both less than the spacing between the two support rods 2. Threaded holes are opened at the same positions of the block 18 and the concave cavities 19. Multiple support platforms 1 are engaged with the block 18 through the concave cavities 19 and are fixed together by bolts, thereby realizing the connection of multiple freshwater storage devices, facilitating the management of the freshwater storage devices and protecting against wind and waves. A bracket 22 is welded to the support platform 1, and the bracket 22 is composed of six columns arranged on the upper surface of the support platform 1 and a hexagonal ring welded on the top of the six columns. A solar panel 23 located just above the support net 12 is laid on the bracket 22. The solar panel 23 is electrically connected to the battery 17. With the help of the solar panel 23, solar energy can be utilized and stored, which is conducive to the continuous automatic storage of the device; at the same time, more solar panels 23 can be laid using the support platform 1, and the excess solar energy can be provided to the island for use, which is conducive to the development and utilization of the island. A second liquid level sensor 20 is also provided on the bracket 22, close to the bottom of the air pump 13 or the air compressor 14, and the second liquid level sensor 20 is located above the first liquid level sensor 15. In this embodiment, the bottom of the air compressor 14 is closer to the support net 12 than the bottom of the air pump 13, the second liquid level sensor 20 is close to the bottom of the air compressor 14, the second liquid level sensor 20 is electrically connected to the battery 17, and the second liquid level sensor 20 is connected to the air pump 13 and the air compressor 14 signal.

[0024] The six corners at the bottom of the support platform 1 are all threadedly connected with support rods 2, and the four adjacent support rods 2 at the rear side are all provided with "T"-shaped chutes, and the lower end of each chute runs through the bottom of the support rod 2, and a slider 3 matching the chute is slidably connected in each chute. After the slider 3 slides into the chute, a limit block with the same shape as the cross section of the chute is welded at the bottom of the chute. An air storage box 4 located directly below the support platform 1 is welded between every two adjacent sliders 3 on the left and right sides, and each air storage box 4 does not exceed the positive projection area of ​​the support platform 1. The height of the air storage box 4 is less than the length of the support rod 2. The number of air storage boxes 4 is three, and the lower side of each air storage box 4 is provided with a third liquid level sensor 21 near the bottom of the air storage box 4, and the third liquid level sensor 21 is connected to the air pump 13 and the air compressor 14 for signal, and the third liquid level sensor 21 is electrically connected to the battery 17. A water tank 5 with a water inlet is welded between the three air tanks 4, and a sealing plug 24 is threadedly connected at the water inlet, and the sealing plug 24 is located at the top of the water tank 5. A water pipe 6 located at the lower side of the air tank 4 and a ventilation pipe 7 located at the upper side of the air tank 4 are provided between every two adjacent air tanks 4. In this embodiment, a water pump is installed at the bottom of the air tank 4 located at the front side, and the water inlet end of the water pump is connected to a water inlet pipe 8 passing through the bottom of the air tank 4. The water inlet pipe 8 is composed of multiple sections of steel pipes threadedly connected to each other, and each section of the steel pipe is coated with anti-corrosion paint. A first solenoid valve is installed on the water inlet pipe 8 near the air outlet box.

[0025] Each air storage box 4 is provided with a pressure valve 10 and a second solenoid valve located above the pressure valve 10. The pressure valve 10 is located at the bottom of the air storage box 4. The second battery valve 11 is located on the upper side of the air storage box 4 and close to the bottom of the support platform 1. A support net 12 is embedded in the hollow in the middle of the support platform 1. The support net 12 is made of manganese aluminum alloy. A support plate is spot welded on the support net 12. An air pump 13 and an air compressor 14 connected to the air pump 13 are bolted to the support plate. A first air intake hose is connected between the air pump 13 and the air compressor 14. The outlet end of the air compressor 14 is connected to a second air intake hose connected to the front air storage box 4. The outside of the air pump 13 and the air compressor 14 are jointly covered with a protective cover spot welded on the support net 12. The support net 12 is also provided with a first liquid level sensor 15 located in the protective cover, a battery 17 located on the support plate, and a temperature sensor 16 located on the top of the protective cover. The first liquid level sensor 15 is connected to the water pump signal, the temperature sensor 16 is connected to the water pump, the first battery valve 9, the second solenoid valve, the air pump 13, and the air compressor 14 signal, and the battery 17 is electrically connected to the first liquid level sensor 15, the temperature sensor 16, the air pump 13, the air compressor 14, the first battery valve 9, and the second battery valve 11 respectively.

[0026] The working process of this scheme is as follows: first, various containers are used to pour the collected fresh water into the water tank 5 from the water inlet, and then the water tank 5 is sealed with a sealing plug 24. During use, the fresh water storage device is placed in the seawater near the island. Since the interior of the air storage tank 4 is hollow and the density of fresh water is less than the density of seawater, the device can float on the sea surface, thereby storing fresh water without occupying the area of ​​the island. At the same time, any support platform 1 in the multiple fresh water storage devices can be connected to the cavity 19 on another support platform 1 by using the block 18 thereon, and then the two are connected as a whole with bolts, so that the connection of multiple fresh water storage devices can be realized, which is convenient for the centralized management and maintenance of the fresh water storage devices, and is also beneficial for resisting wind and waves, and improving the stability of fresh water storage. If it is necessary to fix multiple fresh water storage devices in an area outside the island, it is only necessary to insert a steel pipe fixed to the seabed into the gap between every three support platforms 1 (as shown in the attached figure). Figure 3 as shown).

[0027] During the process of storing fresh water in the fresh water storage device, when the temperature sensor 16 senses that the air temperature is greater than a preset value (the preset value is the average temperature of the seawater in the area throughout the year), the temperature sensor 16 triggers the water pump, the first battery valve 9 and the second battery valve 11. At this time, the first battery valve 9 connects the water inlet pipe 8, and the water pump starts to use the water inlet pipe 8 to pump water, and the second battery valve 11 opens to discharge the air in the air storage tank 4. When seawater begins to be injected into the three air storage tanks 4, the water storage tank 5 can be driven into the sea; when the three air storage tanks 4 move to the bottom of the support rod 2 and drive the support platform 1 to descend to the first liquid level sensor 15, the first sensor triggers the water pump to stop it, and the first battery valve 9 is closed at the same time.

[0028] When the temperature sensor 16 senses that the air temperature is less than a preset value (the preset value is the average temperature of the seawater in the area throughout the year), the temperature sensor 16 triggers and turns on the air pump 13 and the air compressor 14. After the air pump 13 and the air compressor 14 are turned on, compressed air can be generated to enter the air storage tank 4 through the second air intake hose. When the pressure in the air storage tank 4 exceeds the preset value of the pressure valve 10, the pressure valve 10 can be opened, so that the compressed air is used to discharge the seawater from the air storage tank 4, so that the buoyancy of the air storage tank 4 increases, so that the three air storage tanks 4 drive the water storage tank 5 to move upward and float out of the sea, so that the water storage tank 5 is located on the sea surface. When the third liquid level sensor 21 is located on the sea surface, the third liquid level sensor 21 triggers the air pump 13 and the air compressor 14 to turn off both.

[0029] Through the above scheme, the water storage tank 5 can be kept at an appropriate temperature all the time, thereby reducing the evaporation of fresh water in the water storage tank 5, which is beneficial to the storage of fresh water.

[0030] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and the common knowledge such as the known specific structures and / or characteristics in the scheme are not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present invention, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent.
