Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of assembled water tanks, and in particular to an assembled tank body with a seal connection that can be removed and recycled. Background Art

[0002] As an important equipment for water resource management, water tanks can not only provide key solutions in water resource utilization such as water treatment and energy storage, but also play an important role in emerging fields such as smart water services, sponge cities, and modern buildings in the future.

[0003] However, the installation and use of existing water tanks present numerous issues with efficiency, environmental protection, and safety. Specifically, existing water tanks are designed and installed in a monolithic manner, resulting in significant installation costs in terms of materials, time, and labor. Furthermore, once installed, the tanks cannot be adjusted. This often leads to leakage due to aging materials, requiring complete dismantling and reconstruction, which in turn generates non-reusable demolition waste and negatively impacts the environment.

[0004] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of infrastructure standards, the problems existing in the construction and installation mode of existing water tanks have become more prominent, and there is an urgent need for a removable and recyclable water tank. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the problems existing in the existing technology, the present invention proposes a Lock&Lock assembled box, which can be widely used in many fields such as tap water, sewage treatment and disaster response and emergency response. The box adopts a modular assembly method, which not only saves materials, time and labor costs in the manufacturing and installation process, but also can achieve technical effects such as flexible increase and decrease of capacity, zero-loss removal, and repeated recycling.

[0006] The box body includes box panels, lock-and-lock compression parts, special-shaped parts, concrete foundation and rubber waterstop;

[0007] The box plate is formed by coupling a folded flat plate and a trapezoidal bent plate;

[0008] The connecting components between the box panels include: lock-and-lock type clamps, special-shaped parts, bolts and rubber waterstops. The special-shaped parts provide a rigid connection. The lock-and-lock type clamps and bolts are respectively arranged on both sides of the box panels, and the rubber waterstop is arranged in the connection gap. The pressure generated by the lock-and-lock type clamps and bolts causes the components on both sides of the connection gap to exert uniform pressure on the rubber waterstop on the contact surface, thereby further enhancing the sealing effect of the rubber waterstop.

[0009] The box plate is connected to the concrete foundation, and the concrete foundation is used as the bottom plate of the water tank.

[0010] As a further improvement to the present invention, the thickness of the folded flat panel is 2~8mm, and bolt holes are provided on the folded edge. The thickness of the trapezoidal bent plate is 2~4mm. Different thickness combinations are selected according to the water depth of the box plate, and the sum of the thicknesses of the two gradually decreases from the bottom layer to the top layer of the box body.

[0011] As a further improvement to the present invention, a reinforcing plate is provided on one side of the trapezoidal bent plate of the box panel, and its direction is perpendicular to the extension direction of the groove of the trapezoidal bent plate. One side edge of the reinforcing plate is consistent with the trapezoidal outer contour of the trapezoidal bent plate, and the two ends of the reinforcing plate are consistent with the inner side of the folded edge of the folded edge flat plate.

[0012] As a further improvement to the present invention, the folded flat plate and the trapezoidal bent plate are preferably made of stainless steel.

[0013] As a further improvement to the present invention, the folding extension direction of the folded flat panel is parallel to the extension direction of the groove of the trapezoidal bent plate; the folding width is not less than 50 cm, and a right-angle folding is adopted.

[0014] As a further improvement to the present invention, the lock-and-lock type pressing member includes a lock-and-lock fixing member and a lock-and-lock rotating member.

[0015] As a further improvement to the present invention, the Lock&Lock fastener is fixed to one side of the folded flat panel of the box board.

[0016] As a further improvement to the present invention, the special-shaped parts can be made of folded channel steel, H-steel or I-steel; bolt holes are opened on the special-shaped parts, and reinforcing ribs are set at regular intervals. The shape of the reinforcing ribs is consistent with the cross-section of the special-shaped parts, and the spacing between the reinforcing ribs is 0.3-1m.

[0017] As a further improvement to the present invention, bolts are used to connect the box panels on one side of the trapezoidal bent plate of the box panel; wherein, the two box panel edges with folded edges are respectively bolted to the special-shaped parts through the folded edges, and the box panel edge without folded edges is first welded to the special-shaped parts, and then the welded special-shaped parts are bolted to the third special-shaped part, wherein the length of the third special-shaped part is not less than the length of the box panel edge without folded edges.

[0018] As a further improvement to the present invention, a rubber waterstop is provided between the components connected by bolts, and the rubber waterstop is provided with multiple raised strip structures extending along its length and distributed within its width, and the bolts are located between the raised strip structures.

[0019] As a further improvement to the present invention, the box panel is connected to the concrete foundation in the following manner: the folded edges of the flat panel of the box panel are connected to the H-steel bottom plate embedded in the concrete foundation by bolts, and then the connection is sealed by pouring grouting.

[0020] As a further improvement to the present invention, prestressing is provided on the tank panels to offset the internal water pressure of the water tank. The prestressing is generated by the trapezoidal structure of the trapezoidal bent plate coupled to the flat plate with the folded edge. The tank panels of the present invention are modularized and standardized for factory prefabrication. On-site Lock-and-Lock skid-mounted connections achieve sealed connections between the panels and between the panels and the concrete foundation. This greatly simplifies the construction process, shortens the construction period, improves project efficiency, and reduces costs. Furthermore, the zero-loss removal of the tank body promotes green, carbon-reducing, and sustainable development. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the present invention will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments 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 any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] It should be noted that, unless there is any conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0032] like Figure 1 In the left view, the box panel of the present invention is composed of a folded flat panel 1-1 and a trapezoidal bent panel 1-2 coupled together, and a certain distance is reserved between the protrusion of the trapezoidal bent panel 1-2 and the folded flat panel 1-1 for bolt construction, and the folded flat panel 1-1 has bolt holes on its folded edge; as shown in the top view, the box panel 1 is welded to the left and right ends along the extension direction of the trapezoidal bent panel groove, and the special-shaped parts 3 are also welded to the folded flat panel 1-1 of the box panel 1 into a whole; as shown in the side view, on one side of the trapezoidal bent panel 1-2, reinforcing plates 7 coupled with the trapezoidal groove are equidistantly arranged, and the arrangement direction of the reinforcing plates is perpendicular to the extension direction of the groove of the trapezoidal bent panel 1-2, and are welded to the trapezoidal outer contour of the trapezoidal bent panel 1-2 and the inner side of the folded edge of the folded flat panel 1-1 into a whole. Figure 1 The bolts 4 shown in the figure are used for connection with upper and lower or left and right adjacent box plates.

[0033] like Figure 2 : The lock-and-lock fastener is mainly composed of two parts. One is a lock-and-lock fastener 2-1 for fixing to the flat surface of the box board, and the fixing method can be welding. The second is a lock-and-lock rotating member 2-2 for rotating and pressing the two box boards.

[0034] Figure 3 The front surfaces of the box panels 1 (i.e., the folded flat surfaces) are adjacent to each other in the upper and lower and left and right directions. The box panels are connected to each other through lock-and-lock type pressing parts 2 with equal spacing.

[0035] Figure 4 The upper and lower and left and right adjacent box panels 1 are connected together by special-shaped parts 3, rubber water stop strips 8 and bolts 4.

[0036] Reinforcement ribs are installed at regular intervals within the cross-section of the special-shaped parts. The spacing between the reinforcement ribs should not exceed 1m, and the preferred spacing is 0.3-0.5m. Bolt holes of at least 10mm should be opened on both sides of the flanged channel steel to connect with adjacent parts.

[0037] The connection structure between the upper and lower box plates is as follows: the folded edge of the folded flat plate 1-1 is connected to the special-shaped part 3, the connection method is to use bolts 4, and a rubber water stop 8 is set at the connection interface.

[0038] The connection method between the left and right box panels is: the special-shaped parts 3 welded on the left and right sides of the box panels are respectively connected to the third special-shaped part, and the connection method is to use bolts 4. A rubber water stop 8 is set at the connection interface. The length of the third special-shaped part runs through the height of several box panels, providing overall rigidity and stability for the connected box panels.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown: When the box panel is installed, its front side is the side that contacts the water, and its back side is the side that faces away from the water. Adjacent box panels are connected together by special-shaped parts 3. Rubber waterstops 8 are installed on both sides of the special-shaped parts 3 and between the upper and lower box panels. On the side of the box panel facing away from the water, the special-shaped parts 3, the rubber waterstops 8, and the adjacent box panels 1 are connected together by bolts. This ensures that when the lock-and-lock type clamps 2 on the front of the box panel are tightened, there will be no opening between the box panel on the back and the special-shaped parts 3. This helps the lock-and-lock type clamps 2 to press the adjacent box panels together, achieving a watertight seal. At the bottom of the water tank, the hem of the flat panel 1-1 is connected to the H-shaped steel plate 6 embedded in the concrete foundation 5 by bolts 4 to form a whole. This allows the concrete foundation 5 to be fully utilized as the bottom plate, and the bottom plate of the water tank can be eliminated.

[0040] At the same time, when the trapezoidal bent plate 1-2 of the box plate is installed, the extension direction of the trapezoidal bent plate groove is parallel to the ground, which provides the necessary conditions for setting different thicknesses at different water depths.

[0041] The trapezoidal bent plate 1-2, located on the side facing away from the water, can apply prestress to the coupled folded flat plate 1-1 through the elastic potential energy generated by its trapezoidal structure. This prestress is a bending moment that causes the box plate 1 to arch toward the inside of the water tank. This prestress can offset the outward pressure exerted on the box plate 1 by the water pressure inside the water tank. Moreover, this prestress is evenly applied to the folded flat plate 1-1 in contact with the water, which can maintain the shape and structural stability of the box plate 1. This is one of the inventive technical effects produced by the coupling structure of the folded flat plate 1-1 and the trapezoidal bent plate 1-2 of the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown: the folded edge of the flat plate 1-1 of the box plate 1 is connected to the bottom plate H steel 6 embedded in the concrete foundation 5 through bolts 4 to form a whole, which can fully utilize the concrete foundation 5 as the bottom plate. Through the secondary pouring and grouting method, a water-stopping effect can be formed to prevent the internal water of the assembled water tank from seeping out from between the folded edge of the flat plate of the box plate and the concrete foundation 5.

[0043] like Figure 7As shown: Given that the thickness of the trapezoidal bent plate 1-2 is typically less than or equal to the thickness of the flat, hemmed plate 1-1, and that individual plates are relatively long, reinforcing plates 7 are installed at regular intervals (usually 1.5 to 4 meters) for reinforcement. One edge of the reinforcing plate 7 matches the trapezoidal outer contour of the trapezoidal bent plate 1-2, forming a serrated shape as shown in the left view. The two ends of the reinforcing plate match the inner edge of the hemmed flat plate 1-1. The reinforcing plate can be welded to the box panel 1.

[0044] Figure 8 The figure shows a rubber waterstop 8 installed between the special-shaped member 3 and the adjacent box panel 1. The figure shows a cross-section of the rubber waterstop 8. The protrusions on the cross-section reveal that the rubber waterstop 8 has multiple raised structures along its length. When the lock-and-lock fastener 2 and bolt 4 work together to tighten the connected components, the raised structures, under pressure, tightly bond with the contacting components, achieving a complete seal. Figure 8 The bolt holes are arranged between the projections and are completely isolated from water due to the complete sealing effect of the projection structure.

[0045] The technical effects of the present invention include:

[0046] 1. Improve engineering efficiency and reduce costs:

[0047] Quick installation: Through modular design, prefabricated components can be standardized in the factory and only need to be assembled on site, which can greatly shorten the construction period (saving more than 50% of the time compared to traditional cast-in-place water tanks).

[0048] Reduced reliance on labor: Simplified construction processes reduce the need for skilled workers, especially suitable for remote areas or emergency projects.

[0049] Cost savings: Factory production reduces material waste, lowers transportation and installation costs, and the overall cost is 20%-30% lower than traditional water tanks.

[0050] 2. Enhance flexibility and adaptability:

[0051] Modular expansion: Capacity can be flexibly increased or decreased according to demand to adapt to different scenarios such as communities, factories, and post-disaster reconstruction.

[0052] Strong terrain adaptability: The lightweight design of the components facilitates transportation and installation in complex terrains, solving the construction difficulties of traditional water tanks in mountainous areas, islands, etc.

[0053] Multi-scenario application: Suitable for temporary water supply (construction sites, activities), emergency relief (such as rapid water supply after floods and earthquakes), agricultural irrigation, etc.

[0054] 3. Promoting green and sustainable development:

[0055] Environmentally friendly materials: Recyclable materials such as stainless steel and polymer composite materials are used to reduce pollution to the environment.

[0056] Energy saving and carbon reduction: Carbon emissions during the production process are reduced by 15%-30% compared with traditional processes.

[0057] Long life and low maintenance: Corrosion-resistant and leak-proof design can extend service life (up to 30 years or more) and reduce repeated investment of resources.
