Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of anti-sway water tanks, and in particular to a partition-type anti-sway water tank and a method of using the same. Background Art

[0002] Marine water tanks are designed to store essential liquid supplies for navigation and are widely used in surface vessels, underwater submersibles, and other fields. However, during ship maneuvering, the sloshing of liquids is unavoidable, posing a significant challenge to ship stability. Therefore, the existing water tank structure needs to be developed and innovated.

[0003] An anti-sloshing water tank consists of a water tank and anti-sloshing plates installed inside it. The crisscrossing internal partitions of the water tank have the function of slowing down the water flow speed inside the water tank, weakening the sloshing caused by waves on the water tank, and reducing the impact of the water flow inside the water tank on the stability of the ship when the ship is maneuvering. For example, Chinese patent CN210810582U discloses a wave-proof water tank, including a water tank body, transverse partitions and vertical partitions. The transverse partitions and vertical partitions are both vertically arranged inside the water tank. Each partition divides the interior of the water tank into several cavities. Convection holes are set at the bottom of each partition to connect the cavities into a whole. Each cavity conducts convection through the through holes, so that the liquid level in the water tank reaches a stable height.

[0004] The liquid level inside the water tank changes with the input and output of stored water. Providing convection holes only at the bottom of the baffles results in slow convection between adjacent cavities, making it difficult to achieve liquid level equilibrium in a short period of time, which is not conducive to maintaining the balance of the hull. Therefore, some water tanks also use convection holes arranged on the entire surface of the baffles to increase the convection flow. However, when the ship maneuvers or tilts to one side, if the liquid level in the cavity on the tilting side is higher than the liquid level in the cavity on the opposite side of the tilting direction, there will be a large liquid level difference. The stored water will flow into the lower liquid level cavity through the high-position convection holes. The impact of the water flow will greatly increase the sloshing of the water tank, causing the hull to sway back and forth and making it more difficult to restore balance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a partitioned anti-sway water tank and a method of using the same, which are used to solve the problem that when through holes are arranged on the partition, when the liquid level of the cavity on the inclined direction side is higher than the liquid level of the cavity on the side facing away from the inclined direction and there is a large liquid level difference, the stored water will be poured into the cavity with low liquid level through the convection holes at a high position. The impact of the water flow will greatly increase the swaying of the water tank, causing the hull to sway back and forth and making it more difficult to restore the balance state.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: the present invention provides a partition-type anti-sway water tank, including a box body, which stores water; a plurality of partitions, which are arranged in the box body and divide the interior of the box body into a plurality of cavities; a telescopic component, which is passed through the partition and has both ends extending in the vertical direction of the partition surface; two movable plates, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the partition and spaced apart at both ends of the telescopic component; wherein, the liquid level is horizontal when the box body is in an upright state, and the two ends of each partition extend in the vertical direction of the liquid level; a channel is opened in the telescopic component in the vertical direction of the partition surface, and the channel connects adjacent cavities, and the middle part of the telescopic component is fixed and the two ends move relative to the partition in the vertical direction of the partition surface; when the box body is tilted, a liquid level difference is formed in the two cavities on both sides of the partition, and the movable plate moves relative to the partition in the vertical direction of the partition surface, and drives the ends of the telescopic component on the same side to move in the same direction at the same time, so that the movable plate abuts against the end of the telescopic component.

[0007] On the basis of the above technical solution, preferably, the telescopic assembly includes two end plates, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the partition and spaced apart from the partition; a first bellows, which is arranged between the end plate and the partition and has its two ends respectively connected to the end plate and the partition; a sliding rod, whose two ends extend in the vertical direction of the partition surface; wherein a through hole is provided on the partition; a window hole is provided on the end plate; both ends of the first bellows are connected with the through hole and the window hole to form a channel, and at least two sliding rods are arranged around the window hole on the outside of the first bellows, one end of the sliding rod is connected to one of the movable plates, and the other end of the sliding rod passes through the end plate and partition on the same side in turn and is connected to the end plate on the other side.

[0008] Further preferably, the telescopic assembly also includes a second bellows, which is arranged between the end plate and the partition and has its two ends respectively connected to the end plate and the partition, wherein the partition is also provided with a plurality of through holes, and the plurality of through holes are arranged around the through holes; the second bellows is sleeved on the outside of the first bellows, and a telescopic cavity is formed between the inner circumferential wall of the second bellows and the outer circumferential wall of the first bellows, and the telescopic cavities located on both sides of the partition are connected through the through holes, and the telescopic cavity is filled with a medium with a density greater than water; the sliding rod is inserted into the telescopic cavity.

[0009] More preferably, when the box is empty and in a tilted state, the movable plate maintains a fixed position relative to the partition; when water is stored in the box and in a tilted state, and the liquid level in the cavity away from the tilting direction of the box is higher than the liquid level in the cavity toward the tilting direction of the box, the movable plate located on the side away from the tilting direction of the box moves due to the pressure generated by the deadweight of the water in the cavity with the higher liquid level, and drives the end of the telescopic assembly on the same side to move in the same direction at the same time, and finally makes the movable plate abut against the end of the telescopic assembly, and opens the channel below the lower liquid level and closes the channel above the lower liquid level.

[0010] More preferably, when the box is empty and in an inclined state, the sum of the internal pressures of the two telescopic chambers on both sides of the partition offsets the sum of the components of the gravity of the telescopic assembly along the direction perpendicular to the partition surface.

[0011] More preferably, the movable plate in the higher liquid level cavity moves toward the partition, and in turn drives the end plate in the lower liquid level cavity, the end plate in the higher liquid level cavity, and the movable plate in the lower liquid level cavity to move in the same direction.

[0012] More preferably, the plurality of sliding rods on both sides of the partition are staggered.

[0013] On the basis of the above technical solution, preferably, the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the movable plate is larger than the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the channel.

[0014] On the basis of the above technical solution, preferably, the radial cross-section of the channel is circular, and the radial cross-section of the movable plate is circular or a regular polygon.

[0015] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a method for using a partitioned anti-sway water tank, which uses the above-mentioned partitioned anti-sway water tank, including the following steps: step one, the box body is upright and stationary, a liquid level sensor is respectively set in each cavity and detects that the liquid level in each cavity is the same, and the channels in each telescopic component on the partition are opened; step two, the box body is tilted and a liquid level difference is generated between two adjacent cavities; for several channels located above a lower liquid level, the movable plate located on the side away from the tilt direction of the box body is moved by the pressure generated by the deadweight of the water in the higher liquid level cavity and stretches the end plate in the lower liquid level cavity, thereby increasing the volume of the telescopic cavity in the lower liquid level cavity and increasing the internal pressure. The movable plate is fixed relative to the partition, and several channels below the lower liquid level are opened. In step three, as the liquid level in the cavity with the lower liquid level rises, the pressure generated by the deadweight of the water on the movable plate above the partition is eliminated, causing the larger telescopic cavity to shrink and push the movable plate above the partition to reset, and the channels are opened. The number of closed channels gradually decreases until the liquid levels of adjacent cavities reach equilibrium.

[0016] The partitioned anti-sway water tank and its use method of the present invention have the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0017] (1) The present invention provides a movable plate on the partition to move with the inclination of the box body to control the opening and closing of the channel opening and closing component. It can adjust the number of opened channels and the position of the channels as the liquid level of each partitioned cavity changes, so that the channels below the liquid surface are always kept open and the through holes above the liquid surface are always closed. It can not only greatly improve the convection speed of adjacent cavities, but also the convection of adjacent cavities is always completed through the channels below the liquid surface, avoiding the problem of water flowing from high to low and increasing the shaking of the water tank.

[0018] (2) The present invention utilizes bellows arranged inside and outside to form a telescopic cavity, and fills the telescopic cavity with a medium to form a hydraulic telescopic structure. The internal pressure of the telescopic cavity is used to offset the weight of the movable plate so that the movable plate can maintain balance when there is no water stored in the box. When water is stored in the box, the box tilts and a liquid level difference is generated in the adjacent cavities, which will cause water to be above the movable plate above the low liquid level and the lower part to be suspended. As a result, the movable plate is subjected to the gravity of the water stored above and compresses the bellows and closes the through hole above the low liquid level, while both ends of the through hole below the low liquid level are submerged under the water surface. Therefore, the movable plates at both ends of the through hole still maintain balance by offsetting the weight of the movable plate through the change in the internal pressure of the bellows, so that the through hole below the low liquid level remains open.

[0027] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 A partitioned anti-swaying water tank of the present invention includes a box body 1, a partition 2, a telescopic component 3 and a movable plate 4.

[0029] The box 1 stores water, and the liquid level is horizontal when the box 1 is in an upright state. The top and bottom of the box 1 are respectively provided with a water storage inlet and outlet.

[0030] A number of partitions 2 are arranged in the box body 1 and divide the interior of the box body 1 into a number of cavities 101. The liquid surface of the box body 1 is horizontal when it is in an upright state, and the two ends of each partition 2 extend in the vertical direction of the liquid surface. When the box body 1 is in an inclined state, a liquid level difference is formed in the two cavities 101 on both sides of the partition 2. At present, in order to improve the anti-sway performance of the aircraft water tank, a number of upright partitions 2 are usually arranged in the box body 1, and the multiple partitions 2 can be arranged perpendicularly and crosswise to each other; when the partition 2 divides the box body 1 into a number of cavities 101, the water stored in each cavity 101 generates waves due to the maneuvering or tilting of the aircraft. The lateral width of each cavity 101 is much smaller than the lateral width of the entire box body 1, so the range in which the waves can flow back and forth is also smaller, and the back-and-forth flow of waves in adjacent cavities 101 is different, which offsets the impact of each wave on the box body 1, thereby weakening the shaking of the box body 1 caused by the waves. However, the center of gravity of the water inside the tank 1 needs to be kept at the center of the tank 1 to keep the vehicle balanced and prevent it from capsizing. Therefore, the liquid levels in each cavity 101 need to be consistent. Adjacent cavities 101 need to convect through the through holes 201 opened on the partition 2, but if the number of through holes 201 is too small, it will take a long time for the convection to reach equilibrium, which is not conducive to the aircraft to restore balance in a short time; currently, through holes 201 are usually arranged on the entire partition 2, but this will cause two other problems: first, when the water flows from a high liquid level to a low liquid level, a part of the through holes 201 is located above the low liquid level surface, which causes the water to fall from above into the low liquid level cavity 101. At this time, the impact of the water flow is large, which will cause the box body 1 to shake greatly and affect the balance of the aircraft; second, the box body 1 will continue to shake during the maneuvering of the aircraft, and the liquid level between adjacent cavities 101 will continue to change accordingly, which will cause the water flow in adjacent cavities 101 to continue to convect between adjacent cavities 101 through the through holes 201, thereby causing the shaking of the box body 1 to intensify.

[0031] Telescopic assembly 3 is inserted through partition 2, with both ends extending perpendicularly to the partition 2. A channel 200 is defined within telescopic assembly 3, perpendicularly to the partition 2, connecting adjacent cavities 101. The telescopic assembly 3 is fixed in the middle, while its ends are movable relative to the partition 2 perpendicularly to the partition 2. Telescopic assembly 3 can be considered a cylindrical body, with its middle fixed to the partition 2 and its ends capable of telescopic movement.

[0032] Two movable panels 4 are symmetrically arranged on either side of the bulkhead 2 and spaced apart at either end of the telescopic assembly 3. The movable panels 4 move relative to the bulkhead 2 in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the bulkhead 2, driving the ends of the telescopic assembly 3 on the same side to move simultaneously in the same direction, causing the movable panels 4 to abut against the ends of the telescopic assembly 3. When the container 1 is in an upright position due to the horizontal balance of the hull, the gravity of the movable panels 4 is directed vertically downward and parallel to the surface of the bulkhead 2. Therefore, the positions of the two movable panels 4 on either side of the bulkhead 2 relative to the bulkhead 2 remain fixed. However, when the container 1 tilts to one side, the movable panels 4 away from the tilted side slide downward due to their own gravity, causing them to press against the ends of the telescopic assembly 3 and block the channel 200, preventing the water in the high-liquid-level chamber 101 from flowing downward through the channel 200 into the low-liquid-level chamber 101. This prevents the water from impacting the liquid surface from above and exacerbating the sway of the container 1. By making contact between the telescopic assembly 3 and the movable plate 4, the telescopic end portion of the telescopic assembly 3 and the movable plate 4 can be utilized to achieve a better sealing effect. After the box body 1 returns to an upright state, the movable plates 3 on both sides reach equilibrium again, opening the channel 200, allowing convection between adjacent cavities 101 to achieve liquid level equilibrium.

[0033] exist Figure 5 In the preferred embodiment shown, the telescopic assembly 3 includes an end plate 31 , a first bellows 32 and a sliding rod 33 .

[0034] The partition plate 2 is provided with a through hole 201 .

[0035] The two end plates 31 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the partition plate 2 and spaced apart from the partition plate 2. The end plates 31 are provided with window holes 301.

[0036] The first bellows 32 is disposed between the end plate 31 and the partition plate 2 and has its two ends connected to the end plate 31 and the partition plate 2. The two ends of the first bellows 32 are connected to the through hole 201 and the window hole 301 to form a channel 200.

[0037] Both ends of the sliding rod 33 extend in the vertical direction of the plate surface of the partition 2; at least two sliding rods 33 are arranged around the window hole 301 on the outside of the first corrugated tube 32, one end of the sliding rod 33 is connected to one of the movable plates 4, and the other end of the sliding rod 33 passes through the end plate 31 and the partition 2 on the same side in sequence and is connected to the end plate 31 on the other side.

[0038] When the housing 1 is tilted and no water is stored therein, the first bellows 32 uses its elastic force to offset the weight of the end plate 31 and the movable plate 4, thereby preventing the movable plate 4 from abutting against the end plate 31 and thus closing the channel 200. When the housing 1 is tilted and water is stored therein, a liquid level difference forms on both sides of the partition 2. Therefore, for the channel 200 above the low liquid level, the upper portion of the movable plate 4 located in the high liquid level chamber 101 is subjected to the pressure of the stored water, while the lower portion is suspended. Therefore, the movable plate 4 moves under the weight of the water and abuts against the end plate 31 of the telescopic assembly 3, thereby closing the channel 200. For the channel 200 below the low liquid level, both the upper and lower portions of the movable plate 4 are submerged in water. Therefore, the forces on the movable plate 4 are balanced and the movable plate 4 does not move, thus preventing the channel 200 from being closed.

[0039] exist Figure 6 In the preferred embodiment shown, it was found during the implementation of the above embodiment that the movable plate 4 moves toward the partition 2 and abuts the end plate 31, which will drive the first bellows 32 to stretch. Later, when the movable plate 4 needs to be reset, it is difficult for the first bellows 32 to shrink and push the first bellows 32 to move and reset. The reason is that the recovery elastic force of the first bellows 32 after stretching is weak. Therefore, the telescopic component 3 of this embodiment also includes a second bellows 34.

[0040] The partition plate 2 is further provided with a plurality of through holes 202 , which are arranged around the through hole 201 .

[0041] The second bellows 34 is arranged between the end plate 31 and the partition 2 and its two ends are respectively connected to the end plate 31 and the partition 2. The second bellows 34 is sleeved on the outside of the first bellows 32. The inner peripheral wall of the second bellows 34 and the outer peripheral wall of the first bellows 32 form a telescopic cavity 302. The telescopic cavities 302 located on both sides of the partition 2 are connected through the through-hole 202. The telescopic cavities 302 are filled with a medium with a density greater than that of water. The slide rod 33 is passed through the telescopic cavity 302. By arranging the telescopic cavities 302 on both sides of the partition 2 and arranging a high-density medium in the telescopic cavities 302, when the two telescopic cavities 302 are connected through the through-hole 202, when the pressure in one of the telescopic cavities 302 changes drastically in a short period of time, it can also drive the pressure in the other telescopic cavity 302 to change accordingly until the pressure in the two telescopic cavities 302 reaches equilibrium again. For example, refer to Figure 6 When the left movable plate 4 moves toward the partition 2, it drives the right end plate 31 to stretch the bellows, increasing the volume of the right telescopic chamber 302 and reducing its internal pressure. Consequently, the medium in the left telescopic chamber 302, where the pressure is higher, flows rightward, reducing the volume of the left telescopic chamber 302 and compressing the bellows, which in turn drives the left end plate 31 and the right movable plate 4 to move rightward. This structure allows the bellows to stretch and contract, thereby moving the movable plate 4 into position or back into position.

[0042] exist Figure 4 In the preferred embodiment shown, for many aircraft, the tilt angle of the aircraft is essentially controlled by controlling the change in the center of gravity of the water tank. Therefore, the various chambers 101 within the tank body 1 need to be able to maintain mutual convection when the tank body 1 is tilted, so as to more quickly and accurately control the change in the center of gravity of the water stored in the tank body 1. In this embodiment, when the tank body 1 is empty and tilted, the movable plate 4 remains fixed relative to the partition 2. When the tank body 1 is filled with water and tilted, and the liquid level in the chamber 101 away from the tilt direction of the tank body 1 is higher than the liquid level in the chamber 101 toward the tilt direction of the tank body 1, the movable plate 4 on the side away from the tilt direction of the tank body 1 is moved by the pressure generated by the deadweight of the water in the chamber 101 with the higher liquid level, and drives the end of the telescopic assembly 3 on the same side to move simultaneously in the same direction, eventually causing the movable plate 4 to abut against the end of the telescopic assembly 3, thereby opening the through hole 201 below the lower liquid level and closing the through hole 201 above the lower liquid level. Therefore, the principle of the present invention is essentially to ensure that convection between adjacent cavities 101 always occurs below the low liquid level. On the one hand, opening all the channels 200 below the low liquid level can greatly increase the speed of convection. On the other hand, the water flow will not fall from a high point to a low point and generate a large impact force on the tank 1. At the same time, the channels 200 above the liquid level remain closed. Even if the tank 1 undergoes continuous small vibrations or shaking, the waves generated on the liquid surface will not flow through the channels 200 into the adjacent cavities 101. This avoids the problem of wave convection exacerbating the shaking of the tank 1 and eliminates the adverse effects of repeated shaking of the tank 1 on the control process of the center of gravity change of the water stored in the tank 1.

[0043] exist Figure 4 In the preferred embodiment shown, when the box body 1 is empty and in an inclined state, the sum of the internal pressures of the two telescopic chambers 302 located on both sides of the partition 2 offsets the sum of the components of the gravity of the telescopic assembly 3 along the vertical direction of the partition 2, so that when the box body 1 is empty and inclined, the movable plate 4 will not move and close the channel 200.

[0044] exist Figure 4 In the preferred embodiment shown, the movable plate 4 located in the higher liquid level cavity 101 moves toward the partition 2, and in turn drives the end plate 31 located in the lower liquid level cavity 101, the end plate 31 located in the higher liquid level cavity 101, and the movable plate 4 located in the lower liquid level cavity 101 to move in the same direction in succession, shortening the movement path length required for the movable plate 4 to close the channel 200, and strengthening the abutment pressure between the movable plate 4 and the end plate 31 through the telescopic elastic force of the bellows, thereby improving the sealing effect of the channel 200.

[0045] exist Figure 5In the preferred embodiment shown, the plurality of slide bars 33 on both sides of the partition 2 are staggered so that the force on the partition 2 is more balanced.

[0046] exist Figure 6 In the preferred embodiment shown, the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the movable plate 4 is larger than the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the channel 200 , so that the movable plate 3 can completely cover the channel 200 to close it.

[0047] exist Figure 5 In the preferred embodiment shown, the radial cross-section of the channel 200 is circular, and the radial cross-section of the movable plate 4 is circular or a regular polygon. The shapes of the movable plate 3 and the channel 200 can be changed according to different situations and needs.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, combined Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 A method for using a partitioned anti-swaying water tank according to the present invention, using any of the above-mentioned partitioned anti-swaying water tanks, includes the following steps:

[0049] In step 1, the box body 1 stands still, and a liquid level sensor is set in each cavity 101 to detect that the liquid level in each cavity 101 is the same, and the channels 200 in each telescopic assembly 3 on the partition 2 are all opened.

[0050] In step 2, the box body 1 is tilted and a liquid level difference is generated between two adjacent cavities 101; for the several channels 200 located above the lower liquid level, the movable plate 4 located on the side away from the tilt direction of the box body 1 is moved by the pressure generated by the deadweight of the water in the cavity 101 with the higher liquid level and stretches the end plate 31 in the cavity 101 with the lower liquid level, and increases the volume of the telescopic cavity 302 in the cavity 101 with the lower liquid level and reduces the internal pressure, driving the other telescopic cavity 302 to compress and drive the end plate 31 in the cavity 101 with the higher liquid level to move toward the partition 2 until the movable plate 4 abuts against the end plate 31, and closes the several channels 200 located above the lower liquid level; for the several channels 200 located below the lower liquid level, the movable plate 4 maintains a fixed position relative to the partition 2, and opens the several channels 200 located below the lower liquid level.

[0051] Step three: As the liquid level in the cavity 101 with a lower liquid level rises, the pressure generated by the weight of the stored water on the movable plate 4 above the partition 2 is eliminated, causing the larger telescopic cavity 302 to shrink and push the movable plate 4 above the partition 2 to reset, and the channel 200 to open. The number of closed channels 200 gradually decreases until the liquid levels of adjacent cavities 101 reach equilibrium.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
