Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water tank manhole structures, and in particular to a water tank manhole with air filtration function. Background Technology
[0002] A domestic water tank is a storage device for domestic water. It is not a completely sealed container and is usually equipped with a maintenance manhole and a vent.
[0003] The purpose of setting up manholes is to facilitate access for maintenance and cleaning, while the purpose of setting up vents is to maintain air circulation in the water tank during water inlet and outlet, and to maintain the balance of internal and external air pressure.
[0004] Currently, traditional water tank manholes and vents are set up separately. Water tank maintenance manholes are generally simply covered rather than fully enclosed. Vents are simply connected to the atmosphere, and even slightly better ones only have a simple insect screen installed at the vent.
[0005] Given the aforementioned configuration of manholes and vents in traditional water tanks, the following problems may arise during actual use:
[0006] 1. Water tanks without insect screens lack air filtration, making it easy for small animals such as mosquitoes to enter. Some may lay eggs inside, and others may bring viruses into the tank, thus contaminating the water source. Water tanks that have not been cleaned for a long time will also produce odorous gases that spread outwards and pollute the surrounding air environment.
[0007] 2. Since the manhole and vent of the water tank are directly connected to the atmosphere, even if an insect screen is installed at the vent, it cannot prevent dust, microorganisms, and bacteria in the air from entering the water tank through the manhole and vent. In some pump rooms, after the water tank is installed, decoration and painting are carried out, which increases the amount of dust and paint volatiles in the air, causing secondary pollution of the originally clean tap water and breeding of bacteria. Since the manhole of the water tank is not a completely sealed structure, dust and microorganisms in the air can also enter the water tank through the manhole during actual use, causing secondary pollution.
[0008] 3. Traditionally, the water tank and manhole are set up separately. In addition to the necessary maintenance manhole, the water tank also needs to have multiple (usually 2-6, depending on the size of the water tank) vent holes, which increases the welding construction cost. Utility Model Content
[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water tank manhole with air filtration function.
[0010] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0011] A water tank manhole with air filtration function includes a stainless steel water tank and a manhole installed on the stainless steel water tank. The manhole includes a lower manhole ring and a upper manhole cover. The lower manhole ring is fixedly installed on the stainless steel water tank. One side of the upper manhole cover is connected to the lower manhole ring via a hinge. A sealing ring is also installed between the lower manhole ring and the upper manhole cover, and they are tightened by clamping bolts. An outer cover is provided on the upper manhole cover. Filter material is installed inside the outer cover. The upper end of the outer cover is connected to an elbow. The inlet of the elbow is set downwards, and a filter screen is installed at the inlet of the elbow. The filter screen is fixed to the inlet of the elbow by a clamp.
[0012] Furthermore, the filter material includes multiple PP air filter elements and activated carbon cotton.
[0013] Furthermore, multiple PP air filter elements are connected to a filter element connecting plate via threaded connections. The filter element connecting plate is welded inside the outer cover and divides the inside of the outer cover into upper and lower parts.
[0014] Furthermore, the activated carbon cotton is laid flat on the activated carbon cotton support plate, which is installed on the support plate by nuts and screws, and the support plate is fixed inside the outer cover by welding.
[0015] Furthermore, a manhole latch is provided between the lower manhole ring and the upper manhole cover.
[0016] Furthermore, the manhole cover is also equipped with a manhole handle.
[0017] Furthermore, the filter screen has a pore size of 18 to 20 mesh, and the PP air filter element has a filtration accuracy range of 0.1 to 60 μm.
