[0002] Conventional pressure drums are packaged and sealed with a ball valve for easy assembly. However, if the ball valve is directly attached to the drum's water inlet before sealing the drum, it could be damaged by impact during transport. To address this issue, the ball valve is currently packaged separately or hung on the drum before sealing the drum.

[0003] However, these two methods still have some problems. The method of packaging the ball valve separately will lead to waste of packaging materials, and the method of hanging it in the pressure barrel cannot completely guarantee that the ball valve will not be damaged during transportation. Summary of the Invention

The support frame can be installed on the barrel top surface or the barrel bottom surface of the barrel body and includes a central base, a plurality of support arms connected to the central base, and at least one slot formed in one of the support arms. Each support arm has a supporting surface that can abut against the barrel top surface or the barrel bottom surface, and a surrounding surface connected to the supporting surface. The supporting surface and the surrounding surface of each support arm cooperate to define a storage space. The at least one slot is formed in the surrounding surface of one of the support arms and connects to the storage space. The at least one ball valve includes a main water pipe and a water distribution pipe perpendicularly connected to the main water pipe. The main water pipe can be accommodated in the storage space of one of the support arms provided with the at least one slot, and the water distribution pipe can be inserted through the at least one slot.

[0006] The water storage pressure barrel of the present invention, the support frame also includes a support plate arranged on the support arm, the support plate is opposite to the supporting surface of the support arm, when the support frame is set on the top surface or the bottom surface of the barrel, the support plate remains horizontal.

[0007] The water storage pressure barrel of the present invention includes two ball valves, and the support frame includes two slots formed on two of the support arms, and the slots are respectively formed on the surrounding surfaces of the two support arms. The main water pipes of each of the ball valves can be respectively accommodated in the accommodating spaces of the two support arms provided with the slots, and the water distribution pipes of each of the ball valves can be respectively passed through the slots.

[0008] In the water storage pressure barrel of the present invention, the water distribution pipes of the ball valve have different diameters, and the width of the slots varies according to the diameters of the water distribution pipes.

[0009] The water storage pressure barrel of the present invention, the barrel body also includes a water inlet pipe arranged on the top surface of the barrel, the central base of the support frame has a base surface connected to the supporting surface, and a sleeve pipe arranged on the base surface, when the support frame is arranged on the top surface of the barrel, the sleeve pipe is sleeved on the water inlet pipe.

[0010] The water storage pressure barrel of the present invention has four supporting arms, which are spaced apart around the central base.

[0011] The water storage pressure barrel of the present invention has an arc-shaped top surface and a bottom surface.

[0020] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] See Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of a water storage pressure barrel 1 of the present invention includes a barrel body 2, a support frame 3, and two ball valves 4.

[0022] The barrel body 2 includes a barrel top surface 21, a barrel bottom surface 22 opposite to the barrel top surface 21 along the vertical direction Z, a barrel peripheral surface 23 connecting the barrel top surface 21 and the barrel bottom surface 22, an inlet pipe 24 provided on the barrel top surface 21, and four positioning posts 25 ( Figure 2 Only three of them are shown in the figure). The top surface 21 and the bottom surface 22 of the barrel are arc-shaped surfaces.

[0023] See Figures 3 to 5 The support frame 3 is a cross-shaped structure and can be set on the top surface 21 or the bottom surface 22 of the barrel body 2 (see Figure 6 The support frame 3 includes a central base 31 , four support arms 32 connected to the central base 31 , two slots 33 formed in two of the support arms 32 , and a support plate 34 disposed on the support arms 32 .

[0024] The central base 31 has a base surface 311 and a sleeve 312 disposed on the base surface 311. When the support frame 3 is disposed on the top surface 21 of the tub, the sleeve 312 is sleeved on the water inlet pipe 24.

[0025] The support arms 32 are arranged at equal intervals around the central base 31. Each support arm 32 has a supporting surface 321 connected to the base surface 311, a surrounding surface 322 connected to the supporting surface 321, and a positioning hole 323 formed in the supporting surface 321. The supporting surface 321 and the surrounding surface 322 cooperate to define a receiving space 324.

[0026] The supporting surface 321 can be against the top surface 21 or the bottom surface 22 of the barrel (see Figure 6 ), and comprises a connecting surface segment 325 connected to the base surface 311, a rising surface segment 326 connected to the connecting surface segment 325, and an abutting surface segment 327 connected to the rising surface segment 326. The connecting surface segment 325 extends outwardly from the point where it is connected to the base surface 311, the rising surface segment 326 is connected between the connecting surface segment 325 and the abutting surface segment 327 almost along the vertical direction Z, and the abutting surface segment 327 extends outwardly from the point where it is connected to the rising surface segment 326.

[0027] The surrounding surfaces 322 of the support arm portions 32 are adjacently connected.

[0028] See Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The positioning holes 323 of the support arm 32 respectively correspond to the positioning posts 25 of the barrel body 2. When the support frame 3 is set on the barrel bottom surface 22, the positioning posts 25 are respectively inserted into the positioning holes 323.

[0029] It should be noted that the number of the supporting arms 32 is not limited to four as shown in this embodiment, and may be three or more.

[0030] See Figure 4 The slots 33 are respectively formed on the surrounding surfaces 322 of two of the support arm portions 32 and are respectively connected to the accommodation spaces 324 of the two of the support arm portions 32 .

[0031] See Figure 5 The abutment plate 34 is arranged at one end of the surrounding surface 322 of the support arm 32 opposite to the supporting surface 321, and the abutment plate 34 extends outward from the surrounding surface 322 and the end edge of the slot 33 along a direction perpendicular to the up-down direction Z.

[0032] See Figure 2 and Figure 6 When the support frame 3 is set on the top surface 21 or the bottom surface 22 of the barrel, the abutment surface segment 327 can cooperate with each other to abut against the curved top surface 21 or the bottom surface 22 of the barrel, so that the abutment plate 34 remains on a plane perpendicular to the up and down direction Z.

[0033] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4Each ball valve 4 includes a main water pipe 41 and a water branch pipe 42 perpendicularly connected to the main water pipe 41. The main water pipes 41 of the ball valve 4 can be respectively received in the receiving spaces 324 of two of the support arms 32 provided with the grooves 33. The water branch pipes 42 of the ball valve 4 can be passed through the grooves 33, so that the ball valve 4 can be stored flatly in the support frame 3.

[0034] It is worth noting that the designer can adjust the width of the slot 33 according to the diameter of the water distribution pipe 42 of the ball valve 4. In this embodiment, the slots 33 have different widths, so two ball valves 4 of different specifications can be accommodated. However, this is not limiting. Even if the slots 33 have different widths, two ball valves 4 of the same specification can still be accommodated.

[0035] It should be noted that the number of the ball valves 4 and the slots 33 is not limited to two as shown in this embodiment. The number of the slots 33 can be adjusted according to the number of the support arms 32, and the number of the ball valves 4 can be adjusted according to the number of the slots 33. For example, when the number of the support arms 32 is four, the number of the slots 33 can be at most four, and can accommodate a maximum of four ball valves 4, but there can also be only one slot 33, which can accommodate one ball valve 4, or there can be multiple slots 33 but only accommodate one ball valve 4, so it is not limited to this embodiment.

[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the water storage pressure barrel 1 is sealed, the barrel body 2 is first placed in a carton 10, then the support frame 3 is set on the top surface 21 of the barrel, and finally the ball valve 4 is placed in the support frame 3.

[0037] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the support frame 3 is mounted on the barrel top surface 21, the supporting surface 321 faces the barrel top surface 21, and the sleeve 312 is sleeved on the water inlet pipe 24. The abutting surface section 327 can abut against the curved barrel top surface 21, so that the abutting plate 34 can be flush with the top surface of the carton 10, thereby facilitating the sealing operation.

[0038] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 When the ball valve 4 is placed in the support frame 3, the main water pipe 41 of the ball valve 4 is received in the accommodating space 324 of two of the support arm portions 32 provided with the grooves 33, and the water distribution pipe 42 of the ball valve 4 is passed through the grooves 33, so that the ball valve 4 can be flatly received in the support frame 3.

[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 6When installing the water storage pressure tank 1, the consumer first removes the ball valve 4 from the support frame 3 and installs one of the ball valves 4 on the water inlet pipe 24. The support frame 3 is then installed on the bottom surface 22 of the tank. When the support frame 3 is installed on the bottom surface 22 of the tank, the positioning posts 25 of the tank body 2 are respectively inserted into the positioning holes 323 of the support frame 3, ensuring that the tank body 2 and the support frame 3 are correctly and securely installed.

[0040] In summary, the water storage pressure barrel 1 of the present invention has the groove 33 provided on the support frame 3, so that the ball valve 4 can be flatly stored in the support frame 3. When the water storage pressure barrel 1 is sealed, the ball valve 4 does not need to be packaged separately, and the support frame 3 can provide protection for the ball valve 4 to prevent the ball valve 4 from being damaged during transportation, thereby effectively achieving the purpose of the present invention.

[0041] However, the above is only an embodiment of the present invention and should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention. In other words, any simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and description of the present invention still fall within the scope of the present invention.
