Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water tank overflow, in particular to a self-closing overflow device of a water tank. Background Art

[0002] Existing high-rise building water supply systems are typically tank-type, atmospheric-pressure water supply systems. These systems consist of a water tank where tap water is stored before being pressurized and supplied to users. The pressure inside the tank is kept at atmospheric pressure, and the tank is typically equipped with an overflow device on its side.

[0003] In the water supply sector, water tanks are often required to ensure the continuity and safety of water supply. As a temporary storage tool for users, prolonged use often leads to secondary contamination of the water inside the tank due to dust, insects, flies, etc. entering through the overflow port. Furthermore, if the overflow pipe remains stationary for a long time, external dust can enter the inner wall of the overflow pipe, contaminating the water source as it flows out. Large impurities may accidentally enter the overflow pipe, causing blockage and preventing the excess water from being discharged, causing certain problems.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a self-closing overflow device for a water tank to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a self-closing overflow device for a water tank to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A self-closing overflow device for a water tank comprises a water tank, a self-closing mechanism and a protective mechanism, wherein an overflow pipe is connected through one end of the water tank, a plurality of pipe support frames are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the overflow pipe, an extension pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the overflow pipe, an external mounting sleeve is threadedly connected to the end of the extension pipe, a protective mechanism is arranged in the external mounting sleeve, a water outlet is provided at the end of the external mounting sleeve, a water inlet bin is provided at the connection between the overflow pipe and the extension pipe, and a self-closing mechanism is arranged in the water inlet bin.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: a drain outlet is provided at one end of the water inlet bin close to the overflow pipe, a support plate is fixedly connected to the water inlet bin, a ball groove is provided at the center position of the support plate, a float is movably connected in the ball groove, a pair of symmetrically arranged first return springs are fixedly connected to the top of the water inlet bin, and the ends of the two groups of first return springs are fixedly connected to a downward pressing arc plate.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: the external mounting sleeve is internally movably connected with two groups of mounting frames, a solid filter is provided in the mounting frame at one end, and an impurity filter is provided in the mounting frame at the other end. The upper ends of the mounting frames are fixedly connected with pull rods, and two groups of second limit grooves are provided at the upper end of the external mounting sleeve and the pull rods are all located in the second limit grooves. The inner walls of the left and right ends of the second limit grooves are fixedly connected with second return springs, and the ends of the second return springs are fixedly connected to the limit plates and the limit plates are both in contact with the pull rods.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: the bottom end of the mounting frame is fixedly connected to a torsion spring, the bottom end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to a rotating rod, a pair of symmetrically arranged first limit grooves are provided at the bottom end of the external mounting sleeve, and a clamping slot is provided at both the left and right ends of the first limit groove, and the left and right ends of the rotating rod are fixedly connected to an L-shaped clamping rod, and the L-shaped clamping rod and the clamping slot are movably clamped.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: a sealing sleeve is provided on the outer side of the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] Because of the self-closing mechanism, when the water level is too high, the water flows into the overflow pipe and the float rises, and the rising float can open the overflow pipe to ensure that excess water can be discharged in time to prevent losses caused by overflow of the water tank. When there is no water flow, the float remains in place and the overflow pipe is closed to prevent water from flowing back and small insects from entering the water tank, thereby protecting the water source in the water tank. Because of the protective mechanism, the solid filter can effectively block large external impurities to prevent them from entering the water tank, keeping the water quality clean. Regular cleaning of the filter can avoid the accumulation of impurities, thereby reducing the wear on other components. The detachable design allows staff to easily perform maintenance, reducing the complexity and labor intensity of maintenance. Regular cleaning of the filter can avoid the accumulation of impurities, ensure smooth water flow, and reduce poor water flow caused by blockage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the embodiments described 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 creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1

A water outlet 6 is provided at the end of the external mounting sleeve 5, and a water inlet bin 7 is provided at the connection between the overflow pipe 2 and the extension pipe 4, and a self-closing mechanism is provided in the water inlet bin 7.

[0022] Example 2

[0023] Reference Figure 1 、 2 3. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment and differs from the previous embodiment in that a drain port 10 is provided at one end of the water inlet bin 7 near the overflow pipe 2, a support plate 8 is fixedly connected to the water inlet bin 7, a ball groove 9 is provided at the exact center of the support plate 8, a float 11 is movably engaged in the ball groove 9, a pair of symmetrically arranged first return springs 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the water inlet bin 7, and downward-pressing arc plates 13 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two sets of first return springs 12;

[0024] The excess water in the water tank 1 will flow out from the overflow pipe 2. When the water flows into the water inlet bin 7 of the overflow pipe 2 and enters from the water inlet, the float 11 will float up due to the pressure and impact of the water. When the float 11 rises, it pushes up the downward pressure arc plate 13 at the upper end. The downward pressure arc plate 13 is subjected to the elastic force of the first return spring 12 at the upper end and contracts, so that the water can enter the extension pipe 4 through the ball groove 9 of the support plate 8, and finally be discharged from the water outlet 6 after being loaded into the external mounting sleeve 5.

[0025] Example 3

[0026] Reference Figure 1 、 2 4. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and differs from the previous embodiment in that the external mounting sleeve 5 is internally movably connected with two sets of mounting frames 14, a solid filter 15 is provided in the mounting frame 14 at one end, and an impurity filter 16 is provided in the mounting frame 14 at the other end.
