Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water storage tank technology, and in particular to a water storage tank that can automatically adjust the internal temperature. Background Technology

[0002] A water storage tank is a device that uses natural water as an energy storage medium. It does not involve chemical reactions and has a long history of use, mature technology, and stable reliability. The application of water storage tanks not only improves energy utilization efficiency, but also allows for the use of off-peak electricity to heat and store thermal energy during periods of low energy demand, such as at night. This stored thermal energy is then released during the day or peak hours to meet heating or cooling needs, thereby achieving efficient energy utilization and cost reduction. However, existing water storage tanks typically have pressure-balancing gas pipes on top, which can easily allow dust and impurities to enter, affecting the water quality inside the tank. Therefore, a water storage tank with automatic temperature regulation is proposed. Summary of the Invention

Therefore, this invention proposes a water storage tank that can automatically regulate the temperature inside the tank.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

A through main pipe is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing frame. A hot end main pipe and a cold end main pipe are fixedly connected to one side of the main pipe. A partition is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the main pipe. The hot end main pipe and the cold end main pipe are located above and below the partition, respectively.

[0006] The top and bottom of the main pipe are provided with a water distribution mechanism, which includes multiple branch pipes. The end of each branch pipe away from the main pipe is fixedly connected to an intermediate pipe. Multiple intermediate pipes are fixedly connected to multiple water distribution pipes. Multiple nozzles are fixedly connected to the surface of each water distribution pipe.

[0007] The top of the tank is fixedly connected to an exhaust pipe, the top of the exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, the top of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to a top pipe, and the top of the top pipe is fixedly connected to a baffle. The surface of the baffle has multiple through-holes for air venting. The inner diameter of the connecting pipe is smaller than the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe, and the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe is the same as the inner diameter of the top pipe. A plug is slidably connected inside the connecting pipe, and a spring is fixedly connected between the plug and the baffle.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a mounting column is fixedly connected to the top of the baffle, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting column, and an annular filter screen is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate, with the filter screen fitted around the circumference of the top tube.

Two brush plates are fixedly connected to the top of the rotating ring, and the brush plates are in contact with the filter screen.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, two flow equalization plates are fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the tank body. Each flow equalization plate has a through flow equalization hole on its surface, and the two flow equalization plates are located on the side of the two sets of branch pipes that are close to each other.

A partition 12 is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the main pipe 9. The hot end main pipe 10 and the cold end main pipe 11 are located above and below the partition 12, respectively. The partition 12 is used to separate the hot end main pipe 10 and the cold end main pipe 11, thereby facilitating the delivery of hot water and cold water to the top and bottom, respectively.

The spring 31 is used to prevent the plug 23 from falling off.

[0035] The top and bottom of the main pipe 9 are equipped with water distribution mechanisms. The water distribution mechanism includes multiple branch pipes 15. The end of each branch pipe 15 away from the main pipe 9 is fixedly connected to an intermediate pipe 16. Multiple intermediate pipes 16 are fixedly connected to multiple water distribution pipes 17. Multiple nozzles 18 are fixedly connected to the surface of each water distribution pipe 17. Through the cooperation of multiple water distribution pipes 17 and multiple nozzles 18, water can be evenly entered into the tank 1.

[0036] An exhaust pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank body 1. A connecting pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the exhaust pipe 20.

The inner diameter of the exhaust pipe 20 is the same as the inner diameter of the top pipe 22. A plug 23 is slidably connected inside the connecting pipe 21. A spring 31 is fixedly connected between the plug 23 and the baffle 24. When the air pressure increases, the pressure pushes the plug 23 upward to exhaust air. After exhausting air, the plug 23 returns to its original position, thus blocking the connecting pipe 21 and preventing foreign objects from entering the tank body 1.

[0037] In this invention, a mounting post 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the baffle 24, a fixing plate 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting post 26, and an annular filter screen 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 27. The filter screen 28 is sleeved on the circumference of the top pipe 22. During the gas flow in the tank 1, the air is filtered through the filter screen 28 to prevent dust, impurities and other foreign objects from entering the tank 1 and to maintain the cleanliness of the tank 1.

[0038] In particular, a rotating ring 29 is rotatably connected to the outer circumference of the connecting pipe 21. Multiple arc-shaped plates 32 are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating ring 29. Two brush plates 30 are fixedly connected to the top of the rotating ring 29. The brush plates 30 contact the filter screen 28. The air force blows the arc-shaped plates 32, and the arc-shaped plates 32 are driven by the force to rotate the rotating ring 29. The rotating ring 29 drives the brush plates 30 on its top to rotate, thereby cleaning the filter screen 28 and improving the air permeability of the filter screen 28.

[0039] It should be noted that two flow equalization plates 13 are fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the tank 1. The surface of each flow equalization plate 13 is provided with through flow equalization holes 14. The two flow equalization plates 13 are located on the side of the two sets of branch pipes 15 that are close to each other. The flow equalization plates 13 further increase the uniformity of water entering the tank 1, thereby stabilizing the temperature difference between the upper and lower water levels in the tank 1.

[0040] In this invention, multiple temperature sensors 6 are fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the tank 1. The temperature sensors 6 are used to monitor the temperature inside the tank 1.

[0041] In particular, a liquid level sensor 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank 1, which facilitates monitoring of the liquid level inside the tank 1.

[0042] It should be noted that a protective railing 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank 1, which increases the safety of the top of the tank 1.

[0043] In this invention, a fixing rod 19 is fixedly connected to one end of each intermediate tube 16. The fixing rod 19 is fixed to the inner wall of the tank body 1. The fixing rod 19 increases the stability of the intermediate tube 16 installation.

[0044] In particular, the tank body 1 includes an inner layer 3, the outer wall of the inner layer 3 is provided with an insulation layer 4, the outer wall of the insulation layer 4 is provided with an outer protective layer 5, the inner layer 3 is carbon steel, both the inner and outer sides of the carbon steel are provided with anti-rust coatings, the insulation layer 4 is polyurethane, the outer protective layer 5 is galvanized corrugated iron, and the insulation layer 4 is used to increase the insulation effect of the tank body 1.

[0045] Working principle: During use, water is stored in tank 1. During peak electricity consumption, cold water is discharged through the cold end main pipe 11 and supplied to users. Used hot water enters tank 1 through the hot end main pipe 10. During off-peak electricity consumption, hot water is discharged through the hot end main pipe 10, cooled by the refrigeration unit, and then discharged into tank 1, waiting for peak use. The temperature inside tank 1 is monitored by temperature sensor 6, which controls the operation of the refrigeration unit to facilitate temperature adjustment. When the temperature inside tank 1 changes, the internal air pressure also changes. When the air pressure increases, the pressure pushes the plug 23 upward, thus venting air. After venting... The plug 23 is reset, thereby blocking the connecting pipe 21 to prevent foreign objects from entering the tank 1. Conversely, when the pressure decreases, the plug 23 moves downward, allowing air to enter the tank 1, facilitating pressure balance within the tank 1. During the gas flow in the tank 1, the air is filtered by the filter screen 28 to prevent dust, impurities, and other foreign objects from entering the tank 1, maintaining the cleanliness of the tank 1. In windy conditions, the wind force blows the arc plate 32, causing the arc plate 32 to rotate and drive the rotating ring 29 to rotate. The rotating ring 29 then drives the brush plate 30 on its top to rotate, thereby cleaning the filter screen 28 and improving its air permeability.

[0046] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of temperature sensor 6 and liquid level sensor 7 are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
