Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of heat preservation water storage in water treatment, and particularly relates to a heat preservation water tank with a pseudo-bubble body without a pool wall. Background Art

[0002] As China enters the "Urban Renewal 3.0" era, it marks that the construction field has bid farewell to "large-scale demolition and construction" and instead conducts modern urban renewal through more environmentally friendly means. In the field of water treatment, on the premise of maintaining the basic status quo of the construction pattern unchanged, "Urban Renewal 3.0" mainly improves the functions of existing facilities by making use of scattered sites and spaces while minimizing the impact on existing facilities. During this process, the personalized demand for heat preservation water storage in the water treatment field is increasing day by day. Conventional water tanks are all provided with a pool wall, and generally, a stress frame (usually stiffeners or beam-columns) is set outside to reduce the thickness of the pool wall. Some also achieve the tying of the pool wall through dense bracing strips inside the water tank. At the same time, conventional water tanks are generally circular tanks or rectangular boxes, which cannot make full use of scattered irregular sites and spaces in existing facilities. In the case of heat preservation requirements, generally, after the water tank is manufactured, heat preservation layers such as rubber and plastic sponges, polyurethane foams, and rock wool need to be added to the outer surface. After the installation of such heat preservation layers, problems such as the aging of the heat preservation layer, fire prevention, and the reduction of the rainwater soaking effect need to be considered. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat preservation water tank with a pseudo-bubble body without a pool wall to solve the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0005] Provide a heat preservation water tank with a pseudo-bubble body without a pool wall, which includes a partition layer and a water storage body composed of pseudo-bubbles. The pseudo-bubble is a hollow structure with an outer wall. The water storage body is partitioned between the partition layers. The partition layer is formed by tightly connecting a plurality of fully enclosed pseudo-bubbles filled with gas inside. The water storage body is formed by tightly connecting a plurality of pseudo-bubbles with holes. Water flow realizes internal interconnection and intercommunication between a plurality of pseudo-bubbles with holes in the water storage body.

[0006] As the heat preservation water tank with a pseudo-bubble body without a pool wall, the surface layer of the pseudo-bubble constituting the partition layer is arc-shaped.

[0007] As the heat preservation water tank with a pseudo-bubble body without a pool wall, the pseudo-bubble constituting the partition layer is circular or elliptical.

[0008] As the heat preservation water tank with a pseudo-bubble body without a pool wall, the cross-section of the pseudo-bubble constituting the water storage body is a regular polygon.

[0009] As described in the wall-less pseudo-bubble body thermal insulation water tank, the cross-section of the pseudo-bubble body constituting the water storage body is a regular hexagon.

[0010] As described in any one of the above wall-less pseudo-bubble body thermal insulation water tanks, the pseudo-bubble body is made of ultra-thin stainless steel with a thickness of less than 0.2 mm, and the outer diameter of the pseudo-bubble body is not greater than 5 cm.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of the present invention are as follows:

[0012] 1. The present invention has no external thermal insulation material layer, which not only eliminates the installation steps of the thermal insulation material, but also eliminates the troubles of fire prevention, durability, moisture prevention, and prevention of loose shedding of the thermal insulation material;

[0013] 2. The present invention has no stress-bearing frame members, no internal tension bars, no inner and outer pool walls, and has few types of components, greatly simplifying the complexity of production and installation;

[0030] The use of the terms "comprising", "having", and "including" and their variants herein means including the items listed hereinafter, their equivalents, and additional items. Although directions such as above, below, upward, downward, backward, bottom, top, front, and back may be referred to in the description of the drawings, for convenience, reference is made with respect to the drawings.

In addition, terms such as "first", "second", "third", etc. are used herein for illustrative purposes and are not intended to indicate or imply importance or significance.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, in a preferred embodiment, the wall-less pseudo-bubble body thermal insulation water tank of the present invention is used for thermal insulation water storage in water treatment, and includes a partition layer 1 composed of pseudo-bubble bodies and a water storage body 2. The pseudo-bubble body is a hollow structure with an outer wall. The water storage body 2 is partitioned between the partition layers 1. The partition layer 1 is formed by tightly connecting a plurality of fully enclosed pseudo-bubble bodies filled with gas inside. The water storage body 2 is formed by tightly connecting a plurality of pseudo-bubble bodies with holes (communication holes 3). Water flow realizes internal interconnection and intercommunication between a plurality of pseudo-bubble bodies with holes (communication holes 3) in the water storage body 2.

[0032] Tiny holes (communication holes 3) are provided on the pseudo-bubble bodies (i.e., water storage pseudo-bubble bodies 4) that make up the water storage body 2, preferably holes with a diameter of about 5 mm. Through these communication holes 3, water can be interconnected and intercommunicated between the pseudo-bubble bodies 1 that make up the water storage body 2 to realize the water storage function. The pseudo-bubble bodies (i.e., partition pseudo-bubble bodies 5) that make up the partition layer 1 are not provided with holes, forming the function of surface water storage and water blocking, achieving the goal of the water tank without inner and outer pool walls.

[0033] This water tank is mainly composed of small-sized ultra-thin pseudo-bubble bodies, and the size of a single pseudo-bubble body is below 5 cm. The pseudo-bubble body is usually made of ultra-thin stainless steel below 0.2 mm. In this combined structure of small-sized pseudo-bubble bodies, water pressure realizes internal interconnection and intercommunication. The stress span of the ultra-thin pseudo-bubble body is small, and the internal force is mainly tensile, giving full play to the material performance. The internal water pressure of the thermal insulation water tank is mainly borne by a large number of small-sized ultra-thin pseudo-bubble bodies filled. Therefore, the variation modulus of the external dimensions can be controlled at about 5 cm, achieving the adaptability to irregular plane shapes and irregular spatial forms, and making full use of the existing site and space.

[0034] The pseudo-bubble bodies (i.e., partition pseudo-bubble bodies 5) that make up the partition layer 1 are filled with air inside to realize the heat insulation function, eliminating the need to set a thermal insulation material layer outside. Compared with conventional water tanks, the thermal conductivity of the air in this solution is lower than that of conventional thermal insulation materials. Specifically, the thermal conductivity of air is about 0.024 - 0.026 w / (m·k). This is also the reason why many thermal insulation materials themselves adopt a porous structure. These pores contain air, which can effectively reduce heat transfer. The thermal conductivity of conventional water tank thermal insulation materials is as follows: the thermal conductivity of glass wool is 0.03 - 0.04 w / (m·k), the thermal conductivity of rock wool is about 0.038 - 0.045 w / (m·k), the thermal conductivity of polystyrene foam (EPS) is about 0.03 - 0.04 w / (m·k), and the thermal conductivity of polyurethane foam (PU) is about 0.02 - 0.03 w / (m·k). Therefore, the thermal conductivity of air can exceed the thermal insulation effect of most thermal insulation materials. At the same time, the pseudo-bubble body steel plate is ultra-thin, minimizing the heat conduction of the steel plate body, achieving good overall thermal insulation effect of the water tank, and achieving the goal of no thermal insulation material layer outside the water tank.

[0035] The surface layer of the pseudo-bubble body forming the partition layer 1 is arc-shaped (i.e., the partition pseudo-bubble body 5), and the specific radian is not limited. Preferably, the pseudo-bubble body forming the partition layer 1 (i.e., the partition pseudo-bubble body 5) is circular or elliptical.

[0036] The cross-section of the pseudo-bubble body forming the water storage body 2 (i.e., the water storage pseudo-bubble body 4) is a regular polygon, preferably a regular hexagon. The actual shape is not limited, and various polygons are acceptable, and the shapes of the individual pseudo-bubble bodies do not need to be the same. The outer diameter of the size is about 5 cm.

[0037] As Figure 3 shown, the vertical surface of the water tank of the present invention is all partition pseudo-bubble bodies 5. As Figure 4 shown, the bottom layer of the water tank of the present invention is all partition pseudo-bubble bodies 5. As Figure 5 shown, the middle surface layer of the water tank of the present invention is all partition pseudo-bubble bodies 5, and the inside is all water storage pseudo-bubble bodies 4. As Figure 6 shown, the top layer of the water tank of the present invention is all partition pseudo-bubble bodies 5. As Figures 7 to 10 shown, the surface layer of the water tank of the present invention is all partition pseudo-bubble bodies 5, and the partition pseudo-bubble bodies 5 have no holes. The outer shape of the water tank can be irregular to adapt to the irregular space.

[0038] In terms of the external dimensions, in the preferred solution, the planar dimension of the heat preservation water tank is 2.2×1.9 m, the total height is 2.3 m, and due to the limitation of the irregular space, the local height of the water tank is 1.3 m and 1.8 m.

[0039] The present invention has no stress frame members, no internal braces, no inner and outer pool walls, and no outer thermal insulation material layer. The adaptability and plasticity of the planar shape and spatial form are strong, and the existing site and space can be fully utilized, and the application fields are extensive.

[0040] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the implementation manners and protection scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it should be realized that all the equivalent replacements and obvious changes made by using the description and illustrations of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
