Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water treatment, and particularly to a non-metallic water storage inner tank bottom support. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, water-related devices (such as water heaters and water softeners) have become commonly used electrical appliances. Water-related devices often use non-metallic water storage inner tanks. The non-metallic water storage inner tank, such as a fiberglass barrel, is manufactured by a winding molding process. By winding resin-impregnated glass fiber filaments or tapes layer by layer on a rotating mandrel according to a predetermined winding angle and pattern. The fiberglass barrel needs to be provided with a bottom support. The functions of the designed bottom support for the fiberglass barrel are mainly two: First, it is to enhance the strength of the tail of the fiberglass barrel. Second, it is used as a winding process foot to facilitate shaft assembly. Therefore, the adoption of a bottom support is the mainstream method for current fiberglass barrel products.

[0003] The design of the existing fiberglass barrel bottom support can meet the above two functions. However, during the molding and curing stage of the fiberglass barrel, there is a phenomenon of dripping glue. The excess glue in the winding layer will flow onto the bottom support. If left to drip, additional shaping steps are required. Especially when there is a lot of dripping glue, special channels are needed to handle these solid wastes, which thus becomes a burden on production enterprises. Chinese Patent: CN207001167U discloses a new type of bottom support, which forms a shielding structure with a special edge feature (similar to an umbrella shape) by surrounding the barrel base with a flange part, which can prevent the dripping glue from adhering to the bottom, avoiding the barrel body from standing unstably. Because once the dripping glue adheres to the bottom surface of the bottom support, additional labor is required to clean these dripping glues. However, these dripping glues will still fall to the ground and need to be cleaned. Therefore, the problem solved by this patented technology is to prevent the dripping glue from adhering to the bottom surface of the barrel, and it cannot solve the technical problems of the need for shaping of the fiberglass barrel and the treatment of solid wastes caused by the remaining glue.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to technically improve the existing fiberglass barrel bottom support, and a technical solution that can omit the shaping of the fiberglass barrel and the treatment of solid wastes of the remaining glue while meeting the above two functions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] A series of simplified concepts are introduced in the Summary of the Invention section. These simplified concepts are all simplified from the prior art in this field, which will be further described in detail in the Detailed Description section. The Summary of the Invention section of the present invention does not mean to attempt to define the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor does it mean to attempt to determine the protection scope of the claimed technical solution.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a bottom support for a non-metallic water storage inner liner, which can collect the dripping glue during the forming and curing stage of the non-metallic water storage inner liner while satisfying the above two functions, and can also enhance the connection firmness between the non-metallic water storage inner liner and the bottom support. It should be noted that the present invention is particularly applicable to fiberglass barrels manufactured by a winding forming process.

[0007] To solve the above technical problem, the bottom support for a non-metallic water storage inner liner provided by the present invention includes:

[0008] A bearing part 1, the top surface of which is formed into a disc-shaped or bowl-shaped structure adapted to the bottom of the non-metallic water storage inner liner, and a support part 2 is formed at the bottom thereof;

[0009] A plurality of excess glue receiving parts 3, which are used to receive the excess glue flowing down along the side wall of the inner liner before the non-metallic water storage inner liner is shaped, and are uniformly formed in the bearing part 1 and the support part 2.

[0010] Preferably, further improving the bottom support for the non-metallic water storage inner liner, the excess glue receiving part 3 includes:

[0011] A receiving groove 3.2, which is formed on the outer side wall of the support part 2;

[0012] The excess glue can flow into the receiving groove 3.2 along the outer side wall of the bearing part 1.

[0013] Preferably, further improving the bottom support for the non-metallic water storage inner liner, the excess glue receiving part 3 further includes:

[0014] A receiving hole 3.1, which is formed as a blind hole, extends downward from the top surface of the excess glue receiving part 3 to the support part 2, and is communicated with the receiving groove 3.2.

[0015] It should be noted that when only the receiving groove 3.2 is provided, the present invention can avoid the dripping of excess glue compared with the prior art, reduce the steps of trimming and solid waste treatment, and can slightly increase the firmness between the base and the fiberglass barrel body.

[0016] The optimal solution of the present invention is that the excess glue receiving part 3 is preferably formed by combining the communication of the receiving hole 3.1 and the receiving groove 3.2. Such a design can not only avoid the dripping of excess glue, reduce the steps of trimming and solid waste treatment, but also increase the firmness between the base and the fiberglass barrel body through the curing of the excess glue.

[0017] Preferably, further improving the bottom support for the non-metallic water storage inner liner, the cross section of the receiving hole 3.1 is non-circular, and the non-circular receiving hole 3.1 is beneficial to the curing of the excess glue.

[0018] Preferably, further improving the bottom support for the non-metallic water storage inner liner, the cross section of the receiving hole 3.1 is formed into a radial dumbbell shape.

[0019] Preferably, further improve the non-metallic water storage inner tank base, the dumbbell shape has asymmetric ends, and the first large end of the dumbbell shape is relatively closer to the geometric center of the bearing part 1.

[0020] Preferably, further improve the non-metallic water storage inner tank base, there is a convex part 3.3, which is formed at the connection of the accommodation hole 3.1 and the accommodation groove 3.2.

[0021] Preferably, further improve the non-metallic water storage inner tank base, there is a drainage structure, which is formed on the outer side wall of the bearing part 1 and is used to introduce the excess glue into the accommodation groove 3.2.

[0022] Preferably, further improve the non-metallic water storage inner tank base, the drainage structure is a staggeredly arranged drainage groove.

[0023] The present invention can at least achieve the following technical effects compared with the prior art;

[0024] 1. The present invention designs an excess glue accommodation part in the base, and collects the excess glue in the production and manufacturing of the fiberglass barrel through the excess glue accommodation part, which can avoid dripping glue during the forming and curing stage of the fiberglass barrel, and thus can save the steps of repairing the shape caused by dripping glue and treating solid waste, reduce the production cost, and improve the production efficiency.

[0025] 2. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the accommodation hole and the accommodation groove of the excess glue accommodation part act together, and while having the above-mentioned first technical effect, can significantly increase the firmness of the connection between the base and the fiberglass barrel.

[0026] 3. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a drainage structure is formed on the outer side wall of the bearing part to drain the excess glue left by the fiberglass barrel to the accommodation groove, which can avoid the dripping risk caused by the disorderly flow of the excess glue, and while having the above-mentioned second technical effect, can increase the convenience of production.
