Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cold water storage tanks, in particular to a cold water storage tank using a natural stratified water storage method. Background Art

[0002] Water energy storage uses the sensible heat of water to achieve cold / heat storage. The core feature of the natural stratified water storage method is to use the different densities of water at different temperatures to form natural gravity stratification. The inclined temperature layer formed by the mixture of cold and hot water becomes the separation layer between the cold water area and the hot water area.

[0003] When sending hot and cold water into the existing cold water storage tank, large fluctuations are prone to occur, which in turn affects the stratification effect of hot and cold water. In addition, the guardrail outside the cold water storage tank has the risk of falling and is easily used by others, which has a low safety factor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art water storage tank, which is prone to large fluctuations when hot and cold water are fed into it, thereby affecting the stratification effect of hot and cold water, and the risk of the guardrail outside the water storage tank falling off and being easily used by other people, resulting in a low safety factor. A water storage tank with a natural stratification water storage method is proposed.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A water cold storage tank using a natural stratified water storage method includes a tank body, a first branch pipe and a second branch pipe fixedly connected to one side of the tank body, one end of the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe fixedly connected to a common main pipe, the bottom of the main pipe fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the tank body, a blind plate provided inside the main pipe, the blind plate located between the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe, and a water storage assembly for storing water provided inside the tank body;

[0007] An outer protective frame is fixedly connected to one side of the tank body, an annular guardrail is provided on the top of the tank body, a notch is opened on one side of the annular guardrail, and the notch is used in conjunction with the outer protective frame. A protective component for protecting workers is provided inside the outer protective frame.

[0008] In one possible design, the water storage assembly includes two water distribution pipes fixedly connected to the top and bottom sides of the main pipe respectively, one side of the water distribution pipe is fixedly connected to multiple connecting pipes, and one end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to a nozzle.

[0009] In a possible design, a high water level monitor and a low water level monitor are fixedly provided on the inner wall of the tank body, the high water level monitor is located above the low water level monitor, and a plurality of temperature sensors are provided on one side of the tank body.

[0010] In one possible design, the protective assembly includes a top plate fixedly connected to the top of the outer protective frame, and a plurality of first support plates and second support plates are fixedly connected inside the outer protective frame, the first support plates and the second support plates are staggered, a second arc-shaped hole is opened inside the first support plate, a first arc-shaped hole is opened inside the second support plate, and the first arc-shaped holes and the second arc-shaped holes are staggered.

[0011] In a possible design, two symmetrically arranged ladder frames are fixedly connected between the tops of the first support plate and the second support plate and the outer wall of the tank body, a plurality of hand-held rods are fixedly connected between the two ladder frames, and the outer walls of the hand-held rods are fixedly sleeved with foot pedals.

[0012] In a possible design, a blocking plate is slidably connected to one side of the tank body, a staircase is fixedly connected to the top of the blocking plate, the blocking plate is used in conjunction with the first arc-shaped hole, and one end of the staircase passes through the first arc-shaped hole.

[0013] In a possible design, a fixing rod is further included, which is located directly below the outer protective frame. One side of the fixing rod is rotatably connected to a connecting plate, and one side of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to a support rod, which is used to support the blocking plate.

[0014] In a possible design, a first mounting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the tank body, and a second mounting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the support rod. Circular holes are provided inside the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate.

[0015] In the present application, when in use, water is left in the tank, and the different densities of water at different temperatures are used to form natural stratification due to gravity. The oblique temperature layer formed by the mixture of cold and hot water becomes a separation layer between the cold water area and the hot water area, with the hot water area above and the cold water area below. When cold water is needed during the day when electricity costs are high, the cold water in the lower layer is pumped out through the nozzle and sent to the interior of the main pipe through the connecting pipe and the water distribution pipe in sequence. Due to the setting of the blind plate, the cold water is discharged through the second branch pipe at this time;

[0016] After the cold water is used, the temperature rises. At this time, the hot water is not cooled and is sent back to the inside of the tank through the first branch pipe. It is then sent to the water distribution pipe above through the main pipe to transport the hot water upwards. When the electricity cost is lower at night, the hot water above the tank can be drawn out through the first branch pipe. After being cooled by the refrigerator, it is sent back to the inside of the tank through the second branch pipe and is located at the bottom, which is convenient for next use and can also significantly reduce electricity costs.

[0017] When workers are climbing for maintenance, they can remove the locks inside the two round holes, then they can rotate the support rod, and the support rod drives the connecting plate to rotate on the outer wall of the fixed rod. At this time, the support rod no longer interferes with the blocking plate, and the blocking plate and the stairs can move down under the action of gravity, which can prevent others from climbing and improve safety;

[0018] After climbing up the first and second support plates through the stairs, adjust the position and climb to the first support plate through the ladder. Since the second arc-shaped holes and the first arc-shaped holes are staggered, multiple ladders are also staggered, which shortens the climbing height and adjusts the crawling position to prevent workers from falling and improve safety. The setting of the hand-held pole can facilitate gripping, the setting of the foot pedal can help stepping, and the setting of the flat plate can improve stability.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] In the present invention, the water cold storage tank using the natural stratification water storage method can achieve the effect of storing cold water through the water storage component, and can use the different densities of water at different temperatures to form natural stratification due to gravity, which is convenient for subsequent discharge and use;

[0021] In the present invention, the water cold storage tank using the natural stratified water storage method can achieve the effect of improving the protection of workers during the maintenance process through the protection component. By shortening the climbing height and adjusting the climbing position, workers can be prevented from falling, thereby improving safety. In addition, the first arc-shaped hole at the bottom can be blocked by the blocking plate, thereby preventing others from climbing.

[0022] In the present invention, the different densities of water at different temperatures are utilized to form natural stratification due to gravity, and the oblique temperature layer formed by the mixture of cold and hot water becomes the separation layer between the cold water area and the hot water area. When the electricity cost is high during the day, the cold water in the lower layer is pumped out through the nozzle and sent back to the interior of the tank through the first branch pipe. When the electricity cost is lower at night, the hot water above the interior of the tank can be pumped out through the first branch pipe, cooled by the refrigerator, and then sent back to the interior of the tank through the second branch pipe, thereby greatly reducing the electricity cost.
