Detailed Implementation

[0019] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a modular water tank includes a tank body 1, a water pipe 2, a quick-release connector, and a water valve 5. The serial interface 12 at the bottom of the tank body 1 is connected to the water valve 5 in the middle of the water pipe 2. The quick-release connector includes a quick-release female connector 3 and a quick-release male connector 4. The front and rear ends of the water pipe 2 are respectively provided with quick-release female connector 3 and quick-release male connector 4 for connecting adjacent modular water tanks in series. The top of the tank body 1 is provided with an inlet and outlet 11. The outermost quick-release female connector 3 and quick-release male connector 4 are provided with plugs.

[0022] When the water tank capacity is insufficient to meet usage needs and expansion is required, remove the plug inside the outermost quick-release female connector 3 or quick-release male connector 4. Connect multiple modular water tanks' quick-release female connectors 3 and quick-release male connectors 4 in series as needed. After connecting, insert the plug into the outermost quick-release female connector 3 or quick-release male connector 4 and open the water valve 5 to connect multiple water tank bodies 1. When the water tank volume needs to be reduced, simply close the water valve 5 under the corresponding water tank body 1 to disconnect that water tank body 1 from the water tank. By connecting multiple standardized modular water tanks in series, the total water tank capacity can be increased, meeting diverse user needs while reducing the cost and time of personalized customization. Simultaneously, multiple water tank bodies 1 are connected via the bottom water pipe 2. Utilizing the principle of communicating vessels, multiple water tank bodies 1 can share a single water level monitoring instrument, saving economic costs.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement on embodiment 1, as detailed below:

[0025] The quick-release female connector 3 includes a sleeve 31, a limiting ring 32, a limiting ball 33, a spring 34, and a fixing ring 35. The sleeve 31 has several through holes 311 along the circumferential direction. Each through hole 311 contains a limiting ball 33. The inner diameter of the through hole 311 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting ball 33. The limiting ring 32 and the spring 34 are slidably fitted outside the through hole 311, and the fixing ring 35 is fixedly fitted outside the through hole 311. The limiting ring 32 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 35 through the spring 34. The inner side of the limiting ring 32 has multiple clearance holes 321 corresponding to the through hole 311. The quick-release male connector 4 is inserted into the sleeve 31. The quick-release male connector 4 has limiting holes 41 corresponding to the multiple limiting balls 33. Pulling the limiting ring 32 towards the fixing ring 35 compresses the spring 34, aligning the clearance hole 321 of the limiting ring 32 with the through hole 311. When the quick-release male connector 4 is inserted into the sleeve 31, it will push the limiting ball 33 from the through hole 311 into the clearance hole 321. When the quick-release male connector 4 is fully inserted into the sleeve 31 and the limiting hole 41 aligns with the through hole 311, the limiting ring 32 is released. Under the elastic force of the spring 34, the limiting ring 32 returns to its original position, causing the clearance hole 321 to be misaligned with the through hole 311, and the limiting ball 33 to be locked with the limiting hole 41. The connection between the quick-release male connector 4 and the quick-release female connector 3 is simple, simplifying the water tank expansion process.

[0026] Example 3

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement on embodiment 1 or 2, as detailed below:

[0028] Multiple baffles 13 are vertically arranged inside the water tank body 1. During vehicle operation, the vehicle's bumps will cause the water to surge back and forth, impacting the front and rear and inner walls of the water tank body 1. The baffles 13 can weaken the impact.

[0029] Water pipe 2 is a flexible hose, and vertical storage slots 6 are provided on both sides of the water tank body 1 to store water pipe 2. When not expanding the capacity, water pipe 2 is stored to prevent it from getting tangled.

[0030] The surface of the water tank body 1 is concave inward to form multiple vertically arranged grooves 14. This increases the structural strength of the water tank body 1.

[0031] The sleeve 31 has a sealing ring 36 inside that abuts against the port of the quick-release male connector 3. This seals the quick-release male connector 3 and the quick-release female connector 4 to prevent water from flowing out from the gap between them.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
