Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of RV water tank technology, specifically an RV water tank with a protective structure at the corner. Background Technology

[0002] A motorhome is a type of vehicle that is mobile and has the basic facilities necessary for living. To ensure that the motorhome can supply water for daily life while moving and parked, a motorhome water tank is usually installed on the motorhome, usually on the chassis. This can maintain the stability of the vehicle's center of gravity and prevent the water in the tank from sloshing around during driving, which would affect driving safety.

[0003] According to CN218321007U, a water tank for a motorhome includes a water tank with an inlet at one end and a drain outlet below the inlet that communicates with the bottom surface of the inner wall of the water tank. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the center of the water tank on the same side as the inlet. A stirring rod is inserted into the opening of the connecting pipe and extends into the water tank cavity. One end of the stirring rod is connected to a high-speed motor located at the opening of the stirring rod, and the high-speed motor is connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe via a fastening assembly. By providing a connecting pipe connected to one side of the water tank and a stirring rod extending through the connecting pipe into the water tank cavity, the cavity of the connecting pipe can be agitated. Simultaneously, the high-speed motor is connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe via the fastening assembly, ensuring that the opening of the connecting pipe is sealed when the high-speed motor is not in use. This device facilitates the agitation and cleaning of the inner wall of the water tank.

[0004] The high-speed motor and stirring rod mentioned above can clean the inner wall of the water tank. However, when the high-speed motor drives the stirring rod to stir, the water tank will shake due to the flow of water. When the RV moves, the water tank is prone to moving within the placement cavity, which may cause the water tank to collide with the RV and damage the water tank. Utility Model Content

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the protective component further includes a second slot, which is located in the middle of the connecting plate. A second insert is slidably connected inside the second slot. A second protruding rib is fixedly connected to the side of the second insert near the protective plate. A limit plate is fixedly connected to the end of the second insert away from the water tank body.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the second slot is located between the two first slots, the second protruding block and the first protruding block are in contact, and the limiting plate and the first insert block are fixedly connected.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank body, a sealing cap is threadedly connected to the top of the connecting pipe, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the front of the water tank body.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the front of the water tank body, and a first mounting base is fixedly connected to the end of the water inlet pipe away from the water tank body.

[0013] This utility model provides a RV water tank with a protective structure at the corner, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) By adding a protective component at the corner of the water tank body, when the water tank body collides with the RV, the inner wall of the placement cavity contacts the protective plate and squeezes it to one side of the water tank body, thereby compressing the connecting spring. Due to the movement of the protective plate, the first and second protruding blocks that were originally in contact slide relative to each other, and the two are relatively displaced and generate friction, thereby reducing the degree of displacement of the protective plate and effectively preventing the water tank body from colliding with the RV.

[0015] (2) By adding a filter plate at the water inlet pipe, when water is added to the water tank, the water passes through the filter plate and the internal filter screen and activated carbon layer, which can filter and adsorb foreign objects and impurities in the water, thereby reducing the adhesion of dirt on the inner wall of the water tank and reducing the number of times the water tank body needs to be cleaned. When it is necessary to clean the filter plate, pull the pull plate upward to remove the filter plate from the mounting groove of the first mounting seat, and then it can be cleaned.

A first insert 203 is slidably connected inside the first slot 202. A connecting spring 204 is fixedly connected to the side of the first insert 203 away from the water tank body 1. A protective plate 205 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting spring 204 away from the first insert 203. A first protruding rib 206 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective plate 205.

[0024] Both the connecting plate 201 and the protective plate 205 are made of silicone. There are two first inserts 203, and the two first inserts 203 are T-shaped. The protective plate 205 is L-shaped. The first protruding ridge block 206 adopts a hemispherical structure.

[0025] The protective component 2 also includes a second slot 207, which is located in the middle of the connecting plate 201. A second insert 208 is slidably connected inside the second slot 207. A second protruding rib 209 is fixedly connected to the side of the second insert 208 near the protective plate 205. A limit plate 210 is fixedly connected to the end of the second insert 208 away from the water tank body 1.

[0026] The second slot 207 is located between the two first slots 202, the second protruding block 209 is in contact with the first protruding block 206, and the limiting plate 210 and the first insert block 203 are fixedly connected.

[0027] By inserting the first insert 203 and the second insert 208 into the first slot 202 and the second slot 207 respectively, the protective plate 205 is installed on the water tank body 1. The limiting plate 210 contacts the water tank body 1 and limits the protective component 2 to prevent slippage and detachment. The limiting plate 210 and the protective plate 205 form a semi-enclosed structure, which can fully wrap the corners of the water tank body 1. When the water tank body 1 collides with the RV, the inner wall of the placement cavity contacts the protective plate 205 and squeezes it to one side of the water tank body 1, thereby compressing the connecting spring 204. Due to the movement of the protective plate 205, the first protruding block 206 and the second protruding block 209 that were originally in contact slide relative to each other. The two are relatively displaced and generate friction, thereby reducing the degree of displacement of the protective plate 205. Both the connecting plate 201 and the protective plate 205 are made of silicone material, which has a certain deformation capacity and can effectively prevent the water tank body 1 from colliding with the RV.

[0028] A connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank body 1, and a sealing cap 4 is threadedly connected to the top of the connecting pipe 3. A drain pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the front of the water tank body 1.

A pull-out plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter plate 10.

[0030] By adding a filter plate 10 at the water inlet pipe 6, when water is added to the water tank body 1, the water passes through the filter plate 10. Through the action of the internal filter screen and activated carbon layer, foreign objects and impurities in the water can be filtered and adsorbed, thereby reducing the adhesion of dirt on the inner wall of the water tank body 1 and reducing the number of times the water tank body 1 needs to be cleaned. When it is necessary to clean the filter plate 10, pull up the pull plate 11 to remove the filter plate 10 from the mounting groove 8 of the first mounting seat 7 for cleaning. After cleaning, the filter plate 10 is reinstalled on the first mounting seat 7. Since the mounting groove 8 is equipped with a sealing ring 9, the airtightness after installation can be guaranteed to prevent water leakage.

[0031] A sealing plate 12 is provided on the front side of the first mounting base 7. A second mounting base 13 is provided on the side of the sealing plate 12 away from the first mounting base 7. A connecting pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the front side of the second mounting base 13. A connecting bolt 15 is threadedly connected to the middle of the second mounting base 13. A fixing nut 16 is threadedly connected to the surface of the connecting bolt 15.

[0032] This utility model provides a RV water tank with a protective structure at the corner, and its specific working principle is as follows:

[0033] In use, the first insert 203 and the second insert 208 are inserted into the first slot 202 and the second slot 207 respectively, thereby installing the protective plate 205 onto the water tank body 1. When water is added to the water tank body 1 through the connecting pipe 14, the water passes through the filter plate 10. Through the action of the internal filter screen and activated carbon layer, foreign objects and impurities in the water can be filtered and adsorbed, thereby reducing the adhesion of dirt on the inner wall of the water tank body 1 and reducing the frequency of cleaning the water tank body 1. When it is necessary to clean the filter plate 10, pull up the pull plate 11 to open the filter plate. 10. Remove it from the mounting slot 8 of the first mounting seat 7 for cleaning. When the water tank body 1 collides with the RV, the inner wall of the placement cavity contacts the protective plate 205 and squeezes it to one side of the water tank body 1, thereby compressing the connecting spring 204. Due to the movement of the protective plate 205, the first protruding block 206 and the second protruding block 209 that were originally in contact slide relative to each other. The two are relatively displaced and generate friction, thereby reducing the degree of displacement of the protective plate 205 and effectively preventing the water tank body 1 from colliding with the RV.
