[0033] The following will describe in detail a specific embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiment.

[0034] A constant - temperature water tank of the present invention is as Figures 1 to 9As shown in the figure, the constant temperature water tank is manufactured by assembly, avoiding the welding of traditional constant temperature water tanks, thus effectively improving the corrosion resistance of the constant temperature water tank and extending its service life. The constant temperature water tank includes a tank body 1 and a tension pipe 2. The tank body 1 includes at least two end covers 11, and at least one of the two end covers 11 is provided with a through hole 111 for the end of the tension pipe 2 to pass through. The tension pipe 2 is horizontally arranged in the tank body 1, and limiting devices 3 are arranged at both ends of the tension pipe 2. The two end covers 11 are limited and tightened through the limiting devices 3 at both ends to form a firmly assembled and connected constant temperature water tank. Among them, a non-connected first channel 21 and second channel 22 are formed inside the pipe body of the tension pipe 2. The first channel 21 and the second channel 22 are respectively provided with a first communication port 211 and a second communication port 221 that communicate with the inner cavity of the tank body 1 to realize the inlet and outlet of water in the constant temperature water tank. Furthermore, the end of the tension pipe 2 extending outside the end cover 11 through the through hole 111 can be used as a joint connected to an external pipeline.

[0035] In the above solution, the structure of the tension pipe 2 is as Figure 2 shown. The tension pipe 2 is a hollow pipe body structure with both ends penetrating. A barrier member 23 is fixedly arranged inside the hollow pipe body of the tension pipe 2. The barrier member 23 divides the pipe body of the tension pipe 2 into two non-connected parts, namely the first channel 21 and the second channel 22. First communication ports 211 for communicating the first channel 21 with the inner cavity of the tank body 1 and second communication ports 221 for communicating the second channel 22 with the inner cavity of the tank body 1 are respectively opened on the two side walls of the tension pipe 2 corresponding to both sides of the barrier member 23, so as to realize water inlet at one end and water outlet at the other end. In this way, both ends of the tension pipe 2 penetrate through the end cover 11 to facilitate connection with an external pipeline. Correspondingly, through holes 111 are opened on both end covers 11 at both ends.

[0036] In the above solution, the structure of the tension pipe 2 can also be as Figure 4 shown. The tension pipe 2 is a hollow pipe body structure with one end closed, and the closed end is formed by blocking with a plug 7. An inner pipe body 24 extending towards the open end is formed inside the pipe body of the tension pipe 2. The circumferential end wall of the starting end of the inner pipe body 24 is connected to the inner wall of the tension pipe 2 to form a first channel 21 inside the inner pipe body 24 and a second channel 22 between the inner pipe body 24 and the tension pipe 2. First communication ports 211 for communicating the first channel 21 with the inner cavity of the tank body 1 and second communication ports 221 for communicating the second channel 22 with the inner cavity of the tank body 1 are respectively opened on the two side walls of the tension pipe 2 corresponding to the connection between the inner pipe body 24 and the tension pipe 2, so as to realize water inlet and outlet at the same end. In this way, the water inlet and outlet end must penetrate through the end cover 11 to facilitate connection with an external pipeline, and the other end can be selected to penetrate or not penetrate the end cover 11 according to specific needs.

[0037] In the above solution, the limiting devices 3 at both ends of the tension tube 2 can have the same structure or different structures, and the structures of the limiting devices 3 at both ends can be selected according to specific needs. Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 one or two of the structures in, so as to limit and tighten the end caps 11 on both sides through the limiting devices 3 at both ends to form a stable fit; as Figure 3 shown, the limiting device 3 is an expanded mouth structure 31 formed by expanding the end of the tension tube 2 through an expanding tube device; as Figure 5 shown, the limiting device 3 is a flanging structure 32 that turns outward at the end of the tension tube 2; as Figure 6 shown, the limiting device 3 includes a threaded section 331 at the end of the tension tube 2 and a nut 332 that mates with the threaded section 331; as Figure 7 shown, the limiting device 3 includes a through hole at the end of the tension tube 2 and a limit pin 341 inserted into the through hole; as Figure 8 shown, the limiting device 3 includes an insert piece 351 radially inserted at the end of the tension end and a screw 352 that passes through from the outside to the inside of the end cap 11 and is threadedly connected to the insert piece 351. Correspondingly, a slot for inserting the insert piece 351 is provided on the tension end, a threaded hole for threadedly mating with the screw 352 is provided on the insert piece 351, and a through hole for the screw 352 to pass through is provided on the end cap 11.

[0038] As Figure 3 shown, the tension tube 2 passes through the through hole 111 and extends outside the end cap 11. A limit ring 4 is sleeved on the end of the tension tube 2. The limit ring 4 is in contact connection between the limiting device 3 and the end cap 11. The end cap 11 is provided with a stepped counterbore 112 structure corresponding to the through hole 111. A first sealing ring 5 is embedded on the low step surface of the counterbore 112. The limit ring 4 is embedded on the high step surface of the counterbore 112 and presses against the first sealing ring 5 to form a sealed fit between the tension tube 2 and the end cap 11.

[0039] As Figure 1 and 9 shown, the tank body 1 is formed by mating two end caps 11. Preferably, a third sealing ring is provided at the connection of the two end caps 11; the tank body 1 can also be composed of a tank body 12 and two end caps 11. The two end caps 11 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the tank body 12, and a second sealing ring 6 is provided at the connection of the end cap 11 and the tank body 12.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the structure of the present invention is simple and reasonable. The constant temperature water tank is made by assembling a tension tube and a tank body, effectively avoiding welding, thereby improving corrosion resistance and extending service life.

[0041] The above are only the embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
