Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water storage equipment technology, and specifically relates to a horizontal water tank with high stability. Background Technology

[0002] Horizontal water tanks are water storage devices welded from USU304 stainless steel plates. They are a derivative product of cylindrical stainless steel water tanks and are mainly used in building water supply, HVAC systems, fire protection engineering, and hot water storage. Their capacity ranges from 1T to over 1000T, supports both cold and hot water storage, and meets national health standards.

[0003] However, traditional horizontal water tanks, due to their fixed support structure, are difficult to adapt to uneven ground, which can easily lead to tilting or shaking of the tank. This not only affects normal use but may also cause problems such as interface sealing failure and stress concentration at connection points. At the same time, their rigid support system cannot effectively absorb the instantaneous load generated by water injection impact or transportation vibration, which can lead to stress concentration and cause weld cracking or deformation of connectors. High-frequency mechanical vibration is directly transmitted to the tank, which can easily induce bolt loosening, while low-frequency fluid sloshing may cause structural fatigue damage.

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background above, a horizontal water tank with high stability is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a horizontal water tank with high stability, which has the advantages of an adjustable support structure and a three-layer buffer.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a horizontal water tank with high stability, including a tank body, a base frame at the bottom of the tank body, a base bolted to the bottom of the base frame, threaded sleeves bolted to both sides of the front and back of the base, a screw rod connected to the internal thread of the threaded sleeve, a movable groove rotatably connected to the bottom of the screw rod, a movable joint movably sleeved inside the movable groove, a support leg fixedly sleeved to the bottom of the movable joint, and a buffer mechanism provided at the bottom of the tank body.

[0007] The above technical solution involves fixing the screw sleeve to the base and rotating the screw rod to change its extension length from the screw sleeve. By adjusting the screw rods on both sides of the base, it can adapt to differences in ground elevation, initially eliminating the risk of tilting caused by uneven ground. The movable groove at the bottom of the screw rod provides rotation space for the movable joint, which can rotate and swing at a certain angle within the groove. When the ground is tilted or uneven, the outriggers are pushed by the ground reaction force, and the movable joint automatically adjusts the support direction of the outriggers according to the ground angle, ensuring that the bottom surface of the outriggers always remains in contact with the ground, preventing the outriggers from being suspended due to ground tilt. The outriggers at the bottom of the movable joint directly contact the ground. Through the synergistic effect of the height adjustment screw rod and the movable joint, the four outriggers can independently adapt to ground conditions, keeping the tank level and improving operational stability. The adjustable support structure allows the equipment to actively adapt to various complex ground conditions, effectively eliminating the risk of shaking caused by uneven ground and ensuring that the water tank remains level in the installation environment. This extends the service life of the equipment and avoids the risk of leakage at the interface due to tilting. It is adjustable by hand, significantly reducing the technical threshold for installation and maintenance.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the buffer mechanism includes a rubber plate, the rubber plate is fixedly sleeved at the bottom of the box, a buffer layer is embedded in the bottom of the rubber plate, a connecting plate is bolted to the bottom edge of the buffer layer, a corrugated plate is bolted to the bottom of the connecting plate, and the bottom of the corrugated plate is bolted to the top of the base frame.

[0009] The above technical solution employs a buffer mechanism where a rubber sheet is fixedly fitted to the bottom of the enclosure, directly absorbing the vibration and impact forces transmitted by the enclosure, thus initially reducing vibration energy. A buffer layer, embedded in the bottom of the rubber sheet, absorbs the remaining impact force transmitted by the rubber sheet through its own structural deformation. Larger external forces cause the buffer layer to undergo controllable deformation, dispersing concentrated forces into surface loads and preventing excessive local stress that could damage components. A connecting plate rigidly connects the buffer layer to the corrugated plate via bolts, ensuring that the deformation force of the buffer layer is stably transmitted to the corrugated plate while limiting the lateral displacement of each layer, preventing relative sliding during buffering, and ensuring the overall structural integrity. The bottom is bolted to the base frame. Its corrugated structure will produce elastic deformation along the wave surface when subjected to the force transmitted by the connecting plate, converting the vertical impact force into a component force along the corrugation direction, further dissipating the energy. When the external force disappears, the corrugated plate will rely on the elasticity of the material to restore its original shape, driving the structure of each layer to reset, forming a cyclic buffering capacity. The three-layer buffer design can effectively improve the dynamic load-bearing performance. Deformation buffers low-frequency impact forces, such as water injection impact and transportation shaking. It uses elastic deformation to disperse continuous pressure and quickly reset. The three layers cover different vibration frequencies, and the shock absorption efficiency is improved compared with a single material. It can suppress the loosening of components caused by high-frequency vibration and resolve the structural stress caused by low-frequency shaking.

[0010] The present invention is further provided that the bottom of the support leg is attached with an anti-slip pad.

[0011] The above technical solution, by setting up anti-slip mats, can prevent the outriggers from slipping and increase the friction of the outriggers.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the base is trapezoidal.

[0013] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting it as a trapezoid, the trapezoidal structure uses mechanical stability to distribute the weight of the box, and evenly transfers the vertical load to both sides, reducing the force on a single point and providing a rigid foundation for overall support.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the top of the rubber sheet is arc-shaped.

[0015] The above technical solution, by setting it to an arc shape, can fit more closely to the bottom of the box, increasing stability.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the buffer layer is a honeycomb aluminum alloy buffer pad.

[0017] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting it as a honeycomb aluminum alloy buffer pad, the impact force is buffered through deformation.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the wave surface of the wave plate faces upward.

[0019] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting the wave surface to face upward, the elastic deformation of the wave surface is used to disperse the pressure and reset it.

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that a handle is fixedly sleeved on the top of the screw.

[0021] The above technical solution allows for easy rotation of the screw by incorporating a handle.

[0022] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. This utility model improves the stability of use. The adjustable support structure enables the equipment to actively adapt to various complex ground conditions, effectively eliminating the risk of shaking caused by uneven ground. It ensures that the water tank can remain level in the installation environment, which not only extends the service life of the equipment, but also avoids the risk of leakage at the interface caused by tilting. It can be adjusted by hand, which greatly reduces the technical threshold for installation and maintenance.

[0024] 2. This utility model can effectively improve dynamic load-bearing performance through a three-layer buffer design. It can buffer low-frequency impact forces such as water injection impact and shaking during transportation by deforming. It can disperse continuous pressure and quickly reset by using elastic deformation. The three layers cover different vibration frequencies, and the shock absorption efficiency is improved compared with a single material. It can suppress the loosening of components caused by high-frequency vibration and resolve the structural stress caused by low-frequency shaking. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3A highly stable horizontal water tank includes a tank body 1, a base frame 2 at the bottom of the tank body 1, and a base 3 bolted to the bottom of the base frame 2. The base 3 is made of Q235 steel plate. Screw sleeves 4 are bolted to both sides of the front and back of the base 3. A screw rod 5 is threaded inside the screw sleeve 4. The screw rod 5 is made of 45# steel, with a diameter of 16-20mm, an adjustment range of 0-150mm, and a thread precision of 6g. A movable groove 6 with a depth of 15-20mm is rotatably connected to the bottom of the screw rod 5 to prevent the joint from falling off. A movable joint 7 is movably fitted inside the movable groove 6. The movable joint 7 is made of 40Cr alloy, can rotate 360°, and has a swing angle of ±30° to adapt to the maximum ground inclination. A support leg 8 is fixedly fitted to the bottom of the movable joint 7. A buffer mechanism is provided at the bottom of the tank body 1. The screw sleeves 4 and the base... 3. The fixed and rotating screw 5 can change the length of its extension from the screw sleeve 4. By adjusting the screws 5 on both sides of the base 3, it can adapt to the height difference of the ground, initially eliminating the risk of tilting caused by uneven ground. The movable groove 6 at the bottom of the screw 5 provides rotation space for the movable joint 7. The movable joint 7 can rotate and swing at a certain angle within the movable groove 6. When the ground is tilted or uneven, the support leg 8 is pushed by the ground reaction force. The movable joint 7 will automatically adjust the support direction of the support leg 8 according to the ground angle, so that the bottom surface of the support leg 8 always keeps in contact with the ground, avoiding the support leg 8 from being suspended due to the tilt of the ground. The support leg 8 at the bottom of the movable joint 7 directly contacts the ground. Through the synergistic effect of the height adjustment screw 5 and the movable joint 7, the four support legs 8 can independently adapt to the ground conditions, and the box 1 can remain horizontal, improving the stability of use.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The bottom of the support leg 8 is glued with an anti-slip pad 13. By setting the anti-slip pad 13, the support leg 8 can be prevented from slipping and the friction of the support leg 8 can be increased.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 The base 3 is set in a trapezoidal shape. By setting it in a trapezoidal shape, the trapezoidal structure uses mechanical stability to distribute the weight of the box 1, and evenly transmits the vertical load to both sides, reducing the force on a single point and providing a rigid foundation for overall support.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 A handle 14 is fixedly sleeved on the top of the screw 5, which makes it easy to rotate the screw 5.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3A horizontal water tank with high stability includes a buffer mechanism comprising a rubber plate 9, which is fixedly sleeved at the bottom of the tank body 1. The rubber plate 9 is made of nitrile rubber, with a thickness of 5-8mm and a hardness of 50-60 Shore A. A buffer layer 10 is embedded in the bottom of the rubber plate 9, and a connecting plate 11 is bolted to the bottom edge of the buffer layer 10. The connecting plate 11 is made of Q235 steel plate, with a thickness of 5-6mm, and M6 stainless steel bolts spaced 200-300mm apart to ensure connection strength while allowing for deformation space. A corrugated plate 12 is bolted to the bottom of the connecting plate 11, and the bottom of the corrugated plate 12 is bolted to the top of the base frame 2. The corrugated plate 12 is made of 65Mn spring steel, with a thickness of 1.5-2mm, a corrugation height of 8-10mm, a corrugation spacing of 30-50mm, and a gap of 3-5mm between the corrugated surface and the connecting plate 11 to avoid rigid contact. The rubber plate 9 is fixedly sleeved to the bottom of the tank body 1, directly bearing the vibration transmitted by the tank body 1. To initially reduce vibration energy, the buffer layer 10 is embedded in the bottom of the rubber plate 9. Through the structural deformation of the material itself, it bears the remaining impact force transmitted by the rubber plate 9. Larger external forces will cause the buffer layer 10 to undergo controllable deformation, dispersing the concentrated force into surface loads and avoiding excessive local stress that could damage the components. The connecting plate 11 is bolted to the buffer layer 10 and the corrugated plate 12, ensuring that the deformation force of the buffer layer 10 can be stably transmitted to the corrugated plate 12, while also limiting the lateral displacement of each layer of material, preventing relative sliding during the buffering process, and ensuring the overall structural synergy. The bottom of the corrugated plate 12 is bolted to the base frame 2. Its corrugated structure will undergo elastic deformation along the corrugated surface when subjected to the force transmitted by the connecting plate 11, converting the vertical impact force into a component force along the corrugation direction, further dissipating the energy. When the external force disappears, the corrugated plate 12 relies on the elasticity of the material to restore its original shape, driving each layer of structure to reset, forming a cyclic buffering capacity.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 The top of the rubber plate 9 is set to be arc-shaped. By setting it to be arc-shaped, it can fit more closely to the bottom of the box 1, increasing stability. The radius of curvature of the arc-shaped top matches the outer circle of the bottom of the box 1, with an error of ≤2mm.

[0038] refer to Figure 3 The buffer layer 10 is set as a honeycomb aluminum alloy buffer pad. By setting it as a honeycomb aluminum alloy buffer pad, it can buffer the impact force through deformation. The material is honeycomb aluminum alloy 6061-T6, the honeycomb side length is 10-15mm, the wall thickness is 0.5-1mm, the thickness is 10-15mm, the embedding depth is 1 / 2 of the rubber plate thickness, and it is fixed by high-strength adhesive.

[0039] refer to Figure 3 The wave surface of the wave plate 12 is set to face upward. By setting the wave surface to face upward, the pressure is dispersed and reset by the elastic deformation of the wave surface.

[0040] Brief description of usage: The screw sleeve 4 is fixed to the base 3. Rotating the screw 5 changes its length extending from the screw sleeve 4. By adjusting the screws 5 on both sides of the base 3, it can adapt to the height difference of the ground, initially eliminating the risk of tilting caused by uneven ground. The movable groove 6 at the bottom of the screw 5 provides rotation space for the movable joint 7. The movable joint 7 can rotate and swing at a certain angle within the movable groove 6. When the ground is tilted or uneven, the support leg 8 is pushed by the ground reaction force. The movable joint 7 will automatically adjust the support direction of the support leg 8 according to the ground angle, so that the bottom surface of the support leg 8 always keeps in contact with the ground, avoiding the support leg 8 from being suspended due to ground tilt. The support leg 8 at the bottom of the movable joint 7 directly contacts the ground. Through the synergistic effect of the height adjustment screw 5 and the movable joint 7, the four support legs 8 can independently adapt to the ground conditions, and the housing 1 can remain level, improving the stability of use. The rubber plate 9 is fixedly sleeved to the bottom of the housing 1, directly bearing the vibration transmitted by the housing 1. The buffer layer 10, embedded in the bottom of the rubber plate 9, initially reduces vibration energy by resisting dynamic and impact forces. Through the structural deformation of the material itself, it bears the remaining impact force transmitted by the rubber plate 9. Larger external forces will cause the buffer layer 10 to undergo controllable deformation, dispersing the concentrated force into surface loads and avoiding excessive local stress that could damage the components. The connecting plate 11 rigidly connects the buffer layer 10 to the corrugated plate 12 by bolting, ensuring that the deformation force of the buffer layer 10 can be stably transmitted to the corrugated plate 12, while also limiting the lateral displacement of each layer of material, preventing relative sliding during the buffering process, and ensuring the overall structural synergy. The bottom of the corrugated plate 12 is bolted to the base frame 2. Its corrugated structure will undergo elastic deformation along the corrugated surface when subjected to the force transmitted by the connecting plate 11, converting the vertical impact force into a component force along the corrugation direction, further dissipating energy. When the external force disappears, the corrugated plate 12 recovers its original shape by relying on the elasticity of the material, driving each layer of structure to reset, forming a cyclic buffering capacity.

[0041] It should be noted that parts have a lifespan and can be replaced during regular maintenance when they no longer meet performance requirements. Deterioration in performance due to prolonged use of parts is not a design defect of this application.

[0042] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
