[0021] The utility model is now described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the utility model in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the utility model.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-6 An expansion tank comprises an expansion tank body 1, wherein a rubber water bag 5 (i.e., an inner liner in the industry) is arranged inside the expansion tank body 1, a port of the rubber water bag 5 extends toward the top of the expansion tank body 1, a faucet flange 4 and a flange seat 41 are arranged on the top of the expansion tank body 1, water enters and exits the rubber water bag 5 through the faucet flange 4, and an air injection and pressurization mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the expansion tank body 1, and air increases the air pressure in the expansion tank body through the air injection and pressurization mechanism.
[0023] When in use, firstly, air is injected into the expansion tank body 1 from the bottom through the air injection and pressurizing mechanism, and the pressure in the expansion tank body 1 is increased; then, water is injected into the rubber water bag 5 at the faucet flange 4, and the rubber water bag 5 will be expanded after the water enters, and at the same time, the air between the rubber water bag 5 and the expansion tank body 1 (the air injected by the air injection and pressurizing mechanism) is further compressed, and the pressure in the expansion tank body 1 is further increased; when draining water, the faucet flange 4 is opened, and since the internal pressure is greater than the external pressure, the water in the rubber water bag 5 is squeezed out by the pressure, thereby realizing the water in and out of the expansion tank.
[0024] In this embodiment, the expansion tank body 1 includes an upper tank body 2 and a lower tank body 3, the upper tank body 2 and the lower tank body 3 are connected by welding, the faucet flange 4 and the flange seat 41 are arranged on the top of the upper tank body 2, and the faucet flange 4 is connected to the rubber water bag 5 through the flange seat 41.
[0025] In addition, a closing step 21 is provided at the bottom of the upper tank body 2, and the upper tank body 2 is inserted into the lower tank body 3 through the closing step 21. After the upper tank body 2 is inserted into the lower tank body 3 through the closing step 21, the outer circumference of the upper tank body 2 is flush with the outer circumference of the lower tank body 3, and the welding is performed at the joint between the upper tank body 2 and the lower tank body 3, and circumferential seam welding is performed at the joint to achieve welding fixation and sealing at the same time, thereby preventing the internal high-pressure air from leaking out and ensuring the overall quality of the expansion tank.
[0026] In the solution of the utility model, the port of the rubber water bag 5 is pressed and fixed by the flange seat 41. Since the water bag is made of rubber, it has elasticity and expansion properties. After the flange seat 41 presses and deforms the port of the rubber water bag 5, it plays a fixing role and avoids air leakage.
[0027] If the rubber water bag 5 (liner) is damaged, it is also convenient to replace it. When replacing the rubber water bag 5, the flange seat 41 can be disassembled to take out the rubber water bag 5, which is easy to operate.
[0028] Specifically, the gas injection and pressurizing mechanism includes an air inlet 32 and a valve core 33 . An upward depression 31 is provided at the bottom of the lower tank body 3 . The air inlet 32 is provided inside the depression 31 . Under normal circumstances, the valve core 33 blocks the air inlet 32 .
[0029] When used for gas injection and pressurization, it is connected to the air inlet 32 through a pipeline. At this time, air enters the expansion tank body 1 (between the expansion tank body 1 and the rubber water bag 5) through the pipeline and the air inlet 32. After the gas injection and pressurization is completed, the air inlet 32 is blocked by the valve core 33 to prevent air leakage, thereby increasing the air pressure in the tank.
[0030] As a preferred solution, the valve core 33 and the air inlet 32 are detachably connected via threads, a rubber sealing ring 34 is provided at the port of the air inlet 32, and the valve core 33 and the air inlet 32 are matched to squeeze the rubber sealing ring 34 to achieve sealing.
[0031] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
