Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a water tank, in particular to a high-position water tank of a water cooling system. Background Art
[0002] The cooling water system includes a water pump, a heat exchanger and a condenser. The water pump, the heat exchanger and the condenser are connected by a cooling water pipe. The flow route of the cooling water is that the cooling water enters the heat exchanger from the discharge end of the water pump, then comes out of the heat exchanger and enters the condenser, and comes out of the condenser and enters the suction end of the water pump, forming a closed cooling water system cycle. In actual use, the cooling water inside the cooling water system will expand and contract in overall volume due to heating and cooling; the expansion of cooling water will damage the closed cooling water system, and the contraction of cooling water will cause negative pressure inside the cooling water system, affecting the normal use of the cooling water system.
[0003] In reality, in order to solve this problem, a high water tank 1 is set above the cooling water system, commonly known as an expansion water tank. The working principle of the expansion water tank is that the expansion water tank is set at the highest position of the cooling water system, that is, the bottom of the expansion water tank is higher than all the equipment in the cooling water system, including the cooling water pipe; during normal use, the bottom end of the water supply pipe 3 of the water tank 1 is connected to the cooling water pipe between the suction end of the water pump and the outlet end of the condenser in the cooling water system. When the cooling water inside the cooling water system expands, the expanded water will return to the water tank 1 through the water supply pipe 3. When the cooling water inside the cooling water system contracts, the water in the water tank 1 enters the cooling water system through the water supply pipe 3, ensuring that the cooling water system is always full of water.
[0004] When the existing water tank is in use, the upper opening of the water tank needs to be connected to the outside world, so it is easy for foreign objects to fall into the water tank, thereby contaminating the cooling water inside the water tank; in addition, the connection of the water tank often leaks, and the leaked water is not guided and collected, and then flows to the equipment of the cooling water system below, causing damage to the equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] See also Figure 1-11 The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0032] The high-level water tank of the water cooling system described in the present invention comprises a water tank 1, the upper end surface of the water tank 1 is provided with a breathing port communicated with the interior of the water tank 1, and the water tank 1 is provided with a breathing valve 16 through the breathing port. The breathing valve 16 is a hollow structure, and the interior of the breathing valve 16 is communicated with the interior of the water tank 1. The outer surface of the breathing valve 16 is provided with a plurality of breathing holes 17 communicated with the interior of the breathing valve 16 along the circumference. A water level gauge 2 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the water tank 1, and a water supply pipe 3 communicated with the interior of the water tank 1 is fixedly provided on the lower part of the outer surface of the water tank 1; when in use, the cooling water system comprises a water pump, a heat exchanger and a condenser, and the water pump, the heat exchanger and the condenser are connected through a cooling water pipe. The flow route of the cooling water is that the cooling water enters the heat exchanger from the discharge end of the water pump, then comes out of the heat exchanger and enters the condenser, and comes out of the condenser and enters the suction end of the water pump, forming a closed cooling water system cycle. In actual use, the cooling water inside the cooling water system will be heated and cooled The expansion and contraction of the overall volume; the expansion of cooling water will damage the closed cooling water system, and the contraction of cooling water will cause negative pressure inside the cooling water system, affecting the normal use of the cooling water system. In reality, in order to solve this problem, a high water tank 1 is set above the cooling water system, commonly known as an expansion water tank. The working principle of the expansion water tank is that the expansion water tank is set at the highest position of the cooling water system, that is, the bottom of the expansion water tank is higher than all the equipment in the cooling water system, including the cooling water pipe; during normal use, the bottom end of the water supply pipe 3 of the water tank 1 is connected to the cooling water pipe between the suction end of the water pump and the outlet end of the condenser in the cooling water system. When the cooling water inside the cooling water system expands, the expanded water will return to the water tank 1 through the water supply pipe 3. When the cooling water inside the cooling water system contracts, the water in the water tank 1 enters the cooling water system through the water supply pipe 3, ensuring that the cooling water system is always full of water.
[0033] During normal use, water leakage may occur at the joints of the water tank 1. Therefore, a water trough 5 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 1. When the water tank 1 is maintained, such as regularly cleaning the interior of the water tank 1, the water tank 1 needs to be emptied. At this time, water will accumulate in the water trough 5. It is troublesome to clean the accumulated water in the water trough 5 during maintenance. In order to solve this problem, in this embodiment, a water trough 5 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 1, and a lip plate 6 is coaxially fixed to the bottom of the outer surface of the water tank 1.

When in use, the water flowing into the water tank 5 will flow into the center hole 7 along the guide channel and be discharged from the center hole 7, thereby achieving the purpose of timely draining the accumulated water in the water tank 5. In the actual use of the water tank 1, the water accumulated in the water tank 5 due to leakage at the joint of the water tank 1 will flow out in time through the guide channel and the center hole 7, thereby preventing the water tank 1 and the water tank 5 from rusting due to long-term water accumulation in the water tank 5. The water discharged from the center hole 7 is discharged through pipeline equipment such as a hose for centralized treatment.
