Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of recreational vehicle equipment, and in particular to a recreational vehicle water tank with a detachable partition. Background Art

[0002] RV, also known as "home on wheels", combines the functions of both "house" and "car". The car is equipped with bedding, stoves, washing facilities, air conditioners, televisions and other furniture and appliances. RV is a fashionable product that integrates "clothing, food, housing and transportation" and realizes "traveling in life and living in travel", but its attribute is still a car. It is a movable type of vehicle with the basic facilities necessary for a home.

[0003] In order to meet the water needs for washing and living, a water tank is installed in the RV. After the water tank is filled with water, the water will produce impact waves when the vehicle turns or accelerates or decelerates sharply. In severe cases, it will directly affect the driving stability and handling of the vehicle. In order to reduce unsafe hidden dangers, partitions are installed in the water tank, but the existing partitions are designed as one piece with the tank body. After the water tank is used for a period of time, scale will be generated, and it is difficult to clean the inside. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problem that the partition in the current water tank is integrated with the water tank and cannot be disassembled, which makes it difficult to clean the water tank. The present invention provides a motorhome water tank with a detachable partition.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A motorhome water tank with a detachable partition comprises a tank body, a water inlet is provided on the top of the tank body, left-right symmetrical wedge-shaped grooves are provided on the top and bottom of the tank body, a first water retaining cavity, a second water retaining cavity and a third water retaining cavity are provided in the tank body, a first groove and a second groove are provided on both sides of the second water retaining cavity, a first water passing hole is provided at the first groove and the second groove, and the first groove and the second groove are centrally symmetrically arranged along the axis of the second water retaining cavity; the first water retaining cavity, the second water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity are all hollow, and a second water passing hole is provided on the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity.

[0007] Preferably, the side of the first water retaining cavity close to the second water retaining cavity and the side of the third water retaining cavity close to the second water retaining cavity are both wedge-shaped, and the shape of the first groove facing the inside of the second water retaining cavity matches the first water retaining cavity. By making the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity in contact with the second water retaining cavity in a wedge-shaped manner in the direction of the water tank height, the side walls of the first groove and the second groove are also set to a corresponding wedge shape, so that the first water retaining cavity, the third water retaining cavity and the second water retaining cavity are more tightly engaged, the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity will not be dispersed by water waves, and the top of the second water retaining cavity matches the water inlet, that is, the top of the second water retaining cavity is fixed by the water inlet, and the bottom is fixed by the first water retaining cavity and the second water retaining cavity on both sides and will not shake.

[0008] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water retaining cavity near the bottom of the water tank is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water retaining cavity near the top of the water tank. This is equivalent to the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity increasing from top to bottom, so that the connection between the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity and the second water retaining cavity is more stable. When the second water retaining cavity is put in and taken out, the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity are deep from the bottom inward and shallow at the top because the first groove and the second groove are both deep at the bottom and shallow at the top, which is equivalent to conical extrusion, making it convenient to put in and take out the second water retaining cavity.

[0009] Preferably, an adsorption material is installed in the second water retaining cavity. An adsorption material such as activated carbon, sponge, bio-ball, ion exchange resin, etc. is placed in the second water retaining cavity, and the water is purified by the adsorption material to make the water cleaner.

[0010] Preferably, a water pipe is connected between the second water holes on both sides of the first water retaining cavity. When the RV is driving, water is blocked by the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity when it is sloshing, and can only enter the other side of the water tank from one side through the second water hole, so that the second water hole can generate resistance to the water, reducing the impact effect of water waves. The second water holes before and after the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity are connected by a water pipe, so that water can flow directly through the water pipe and will not enter the inside of the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity. When cleaning the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity, only the water pipe needs to be cleaned, which will not cause difficulty in cleaning the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity.

[0011] Preferably, both the top and bottom of the box body are provided with limiting grooves facing the inside of the box body, the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity are located between the limiting grooves, and the limiting grooves are provided along the width direction of the box body. If only one side of the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity is inserted into the first groove and the second groove of the second water retaining cavity, then the two sides of the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity are not fixed and may shake under the action of water. Therefore, in order to prevent the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity from shaking, limiting grooves are provided at the top and bottom of the box body, that is, four limiting grooves are provided at the top of the box body and four limiting grooves are provided at the bottom, so that the top and bottom of the first water retaining cavity can be inserted between the two limiting grooves.

[0012] Preferably, the side wall of the box body is provided with a limiting protrusion toward the inside of the box body at the position corresponding to the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity. The limiting protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the box body, the limiting protrusion on the left side contacts the first water retaining cavity, and the limiting protrusion on the right side contacts the second water retaining cavity, which is equivalent to forming a second water passing hole between the limiting protrusion on the left side and the first water retaining cavity, and between the limiting protrusion on the right side and the second water retaining cavity, which can also block water to a certain extent, and at the same time, the limiting protrusion also limits the two sides of the first water retaining cavity and the third water retaining cavity.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the present application divides the baffle of the prior art into three independent water retaining chambers, and each of them can be put in and taken out from the water inlet. In order to prevent the first water retaining chamber and the third water retaining chamber from being dispersed under the impact of water, a first groove and a second groove are respectively arranged on both sides of the second water retaining chamber for fixing the first water retaining chamber and the third water retaining chamber, and the first groove and the second groove are arranged symmetrically with the center, so that the parts where the first water retaining chamber and the third water retaining chamber are connected to the second water retaining chamber are not in a straight line, so no dryness will occur when taking out and putting in the first water retaining chamber and the third water retaining chamber, and the first water retaining chamber and the third water retaining chamber can be easily taken out and put in, which is convenient for cleaning the water tank.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified and limited, it should be noted that the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection, or it can be the internal connection between two components. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the present application provides a motorhome water tank with a detachable partition, including a box body 1, a water inlet 11 and a water outlet 12 are provided on the top of the box body 1, and multiple water inlets 11 and water outlets 12 can be provided on the top of the water tank according to the design and space requirements. A first water retaining cavity 2, a second water retaining cavity 3 and a third water retaining cavity 4 are provided in the box body 1, and the first water retaining cavity 2, the second water retaining cavity 3 and the third water retaining cavity 4 are all taken out of and put into the box body 1 from the water inlet 11, and the maximum cross-section of the first water retaining cavity 2, the second water retaining cavity 3 and the third water retaining cavity 4 should be smaller than the diameter of the water inlet 11, otherwise they cannot be put in.

[0033] The second water retaining cavity 3 has a first groove 31 and a second groove 32 on both sides. The first groove 31 is located on the side close to the first water retaining cavity 2, and the second groove 32 is located on the side close to the third water retaining cavity 4. The first water retaining cavity 2, the second water retaining cavity 3 and the third water retaining cavity 4 are all hollow. Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first groove 31 and the second groove 32 are both recessed toward the center of the second water retaining chamber 3, and the first water passing hole 33 is provided at the first groove 31 and the second groove 32. The first groove 31 and the second groove 32 are centrally symmetrically arranged along the axis of the second water retaining chamber 3; thus, the parts of the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber 4 connected to the second water retaining chamber 3 are not in a straight line, so when taking out and putting in the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber 4, no dryness will occur, and the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber 4 can be easily taken out and put in. The first groove 31 and the second groove 32 are preferably centrally symmetrical along the axis of the second water retaining chamber 3. The first water retaining chamber 2, the second water retaining chamber 3 and the fourth water retaining chamber 4 are combined to form a partition.

[0034] The bottom of the second water retaining chamber 3 is closed, and a small hole is provided at the bottom. The second water retaining chamber 3 is installed with an adsorption material, wherein the adsorption material can be the material of the existing water purifier on the market, such as activated carbon, sponge, bio-ball, ion exchange resin, etc., and the water is purified by the adsorption material to make the water cleaner. The top of the second water retaining chamber 3 is flush with the water inlet 11 on the box body 1, and the water inlet 11 is sealed by a spiral sealing cover.

[0035] The first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4 have the same structure, but are located in different positions. Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the contact surface of the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4 with the second water retaining cavity 3 is wedge-shaped, and the contact surface is divided into four sections from top to bottom. The first section is a straight inclined surface inclined outward, the second section is perpendicular to the top of the box body 1, the third section is the same as the first section, and the fourth section is the same as the second section, so that the cross-sectional area of ​​the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4 from top to bottom is gradually increased. The first groove 31 and the second groove 32 are provided with a first water hole 33, a part of the blowing hole is located in the first groove 31 and the second groove 32, and the other part of the first water hole 33 is located on the outer wall of the second water retaining cavity 3, and not the entire first water hole 33 is located in the first groove 31 and the second groove 32, which can prevent the first water hole 33 from being blocked by the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4, and water cannot flow out. The first groove 31 is set to a wedge shape corresponding to the first water retaining cavity 2, that is, the shape of the first groove 31 inside the second water retaining cavity 3 is concave and matches the wedge shape of the first water retaining cavity 2.

[0036] The first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4 are both provided with second water holes 21, which have a certain blocking force on water and can prevent water from sloshing and producing a loud sound of water waves. A water pipe 22 is connected between the second water holes 21 before and after the first water retaining cavity 2. Since the water on both sides is connected through the water pipe 22, and the interior of the first water retaining cavity 2 is closed, the second water holes 21 before and after the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4 are connected through the water pipe 22, so that water can flow directly through the water pipe 22 and will not enter the interior of the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4. When cleaning the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4, only the water pipe 22 can be cleaned, which will not cause difficulty in cleaning the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4. The reason why the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber 4 are arranged to be hollow instead of a plate is that this can increase the length of the water pipe 22 and increase the blocking effect. Compared with just a plate with a hole in the plate, the blocking effect of water flowing directly through the hole is better and the sound of water waves generated is smaller.

[0037] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the parts where the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4 are connected to the second water retaining cavity 3 protrude toward the second water retaining cavity 3 in sections from top to bottom, and the corresponding first groove 31 and second groove 32 increase in depth from top to bottom in sections.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the top and bottom of the box body 1 are provided with limiting grooves 13, and the side wall of the box body 1 is provided with limiting protrusions 14 toward the inside of the box body 1 at the positions corresponding to the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4; the top and bottom of the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4 are both located between the two limiting grooves 13, and the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4 are fixed by the two limiting grooves 13 to prevent water waves from dispersing the structure they form.

[0039] like Fig.13 As shown, when the first water retaining chamber 2, the second water retaining chamber 3 and the third water retaining chamber 4 are placed in the casing 1, the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber 4 are first placed in the casing 1 respectively. Since the parts of the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber 4 connected with the second water retaining chamber 3 are not on a straight line, the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber 4 will not interfere with each other when placed. After the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber are placed in the water tank, they are fixed by the upper and lower limiting grooves 13 of the water tank 1 and blocked by the limiting protrusions 14 on the left and right. Then, the first groove 31 and the second groove 32 of the second water retaining chamber 3 are inserted into the corresponding parts of the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber 4 respectively. Since the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber 4 are small at the top and large at the bottom, and the first groove 31 and the second groove 32 of the second water retaining chamber are corresponding to the side walls of the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber 4, the second water retaining chamber 3 can be inserted downward and engaged with the first water retaining chamber 2 and the third water retaining chamber 4. When removing, first remove the second water retaining cavity 3, then remove the first water retaining cavity 2 and the third water retaining cavity 4.

[0040] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
