A water storage tank driven by siphon effect

Abstract

This invention relates to a water storage tank driven by the siphon effect, comprising a tank body with supporting legs fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the tank body. An inlet pipe is located inside the tank body, and an outlet pipe is located on one side of the tank body, with one side of the outlet pipe connected to a water outlet. One end of the inlet pipe penetrates the bottom surface of the tank body, and the other end is fixedly connected to a flexible hose. The surface of the flexible hose in contact with the water is the inlet surface, and the outlet end is the outlet surface. The elevation of the inlet surface is greater than that of the outlet surface. The siphon effect is created by the different elevations of the inlet, tank body, and outlet, allowing water resources from the external environment to be transported into the tank for storage and discharge using the siphon principle. No external power equipment is required, achieving power-free operation. This allows for long-term use in the external environment and is not easily damaged.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water storage tank technology, and in particular to a water storage tank driven by the siphon effect. Background Technology

[0002] Water storage tanks are containers used to store water resources. They have a variety of applications. Among common water storage tanks, those located on residential buildings use pressure to draw water from the bottom upwards. External equipment is required to increase the water supply.

[0003] However, in the field, especially in fields, it is inconvenient to use external power equipment for water storage operations. Without a continuous and stable power connection, it is impossible to operate for a long time. Secondly, if the equipment is used for liquid transportation in the external environment for a long time, it will cause equipment damage and increase costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a water storage tank driven by the siphon effect.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a water storage tank driven by the siphon effect includes a tank body, a support leg fixedly provided on the lower surface of the tank body, a water inlet pipe provided inside the tank body, a water outlet pipe provided on one side of the tank body, and a water outlet connected to one side of the water outlet pipe;

[0006] One end of the water inlet pipe penetrates the bottom surface of the tank, and the other end is fixedly connected to a flexible hose. The water in contact surface of the flexible hose is the water inlet surface, and the water outlet end is the water outlet surface. The elevation of the water inlet surface is greater than the elevation of the water outlet surface.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the water inlet pipe is located vertically upward at one end of the tank and its height is consistent with three-quarters of the height of the tank.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface of the tank is provided with a drain outlet, and a drain valve is provided below the drain outlet.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the elevation of the tank is greater than the elevation of the water inlet surface.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the water outlet pipe is equipped with a manual valve.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are that by creating a siphon effect through the different altitudes of the inlet, tank and outlet, water resources in the external environment can be transported into the tank for storage and discharge using the siphon principle. No external power equipment is required, achieving power-free operation. It can be used in the external environment for a long time and is not easily damaged. Attached Figure Description

They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Example

[0020] A water storage tank driven by the siphon effect includes a tank body 1, a support leg 2 fixedly provided on the lower surface of the tank body 1, a water inlet pipe 3 provided inside the tank body 1, a water outlet pipe 4 provided on one side of the tank body 1, and a water outlet 5 connected to one side of the water outlet pipe 4.

[0021] One end of the inlet pipe 3 penetrates the bottom surface of the tank 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to a flexible hose. The water surface in contact with the hose is the inlet surface, and the water outlet 5 is the outlet surface. The elevation of the inlet surface is greater than that of the outlet surface. Using the siphon principle, the liquid at low elevation is transported into the tank 1, and then the liquid is discharged from the tank 1, realizing the transportation of water resources without electricity.

[0022] The inlet pipe 3 is located at one end of the tank 1, vertically upward, and at the same height as three-quarters of the tank 1, which facilitates raising the elevation and realizing liquid transportation; the bottom surface of the tank 1 is provided with a drain outlet 6, and a drain valve is provided below the drain outlet 6, which can drain water stored for a long time and empty the inside of the tank 1; the elevation of the tank 1 is greater than the elevation of the inlet surface; the outlet pipe 4 is provided with a manual valve to facilitate control of liquid discharge.

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] As shown in the figure, when in use, the inlet pipe 3 is placed in a lake or a place with abundant water resources, and then the manual valve is opened. At this time, because the elevation of the inlet surface is greater than the elevation of the outlet surface, a siphon effect is generated, and the liquid continuously enters the tank 1 and is then discharged from the outlet 5, thus realizing the liquid flow.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
