Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water supply technology for water supply rooms, and specifically relates to a highly efficient and energy-saving water supply device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing water supply systems, most common water supply devices rely on a combination of constant-speed water pumps and pressure tanks to achieve a stable water supply. Although this combination can meet basic water supply needs to a certain extent, it has significant shortcomings in terms of operation mode and efficiency.

[0003] First, constant-speed water pumps consume a large amount of energy when running at full power continuously. This indiscriminate power output not only leads to energy waste but also increases the operating costs of the water supply system. In addition, because the water pump always runs at a constant speed, it cannot be flexibly adjusted according to actual water demand, which makes water pressure control difficult. When water consumption changes, water pressure fluctuates greatly, affecting the stability of water supply and the user's water experience. When water pressure suddenly rises or falls, the pressure tank may not be able to respond quickly, resulting in unstable water supply. Existing water supply devices mostly use constant-speed water pumps in conjunction with pressure tanks to achieve water supply. However, the continuous full-power operation of the water pump leads to high energy consumption and large water pressure fluctuations, affecting the stability of water supply. Therefore, this utility model provides a highly efficient and energy-saving water supply device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly efficient and energy-saving water supply device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency and energy-saving water supply device, including a tank-type water supply tank, with an accessory box fixedly connected to the top of the tank-type water supply tank, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe respectively provided on the top and bottom of one side of the tank-type water supply tank, and an annular auxiliary airbag provided inside the tank-type water supply tank. The interior of the tank-type water supply tank is divided into a top cavity and a bottom cavity by the auxiliary airbag, and an airbag skeleton is provided inside the auxiliary airbag.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, a guide plate is provided at the bottom of the cavity, and a drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the tank-type water supply tank.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the auxiliary airbag is provided with connecting pipes on both sides, both connecting pipes penetrate and extend to the outside of the tank-type water supply tank, and the ends of the connecting pipes are provided with sealing flanges.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the tank-type water supply tank is fixedly connected with a plurality of equidistant "U"-shaped auxiliary frames arranged in a ring, and the annular auxiliary airbag is fitted inside the plurality of auxiliary frames.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the airbag frame includes four annular support rings fixedly connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary airbag. The four support rings are respectively fitted to the junction of the two inner rings and the outer ring of the auxiliary airbag. A plurality of first support parts are fixedly connected between two support rings on the same plane, and a plurality of second support parts are fixedly connected between two vertically overlapping support rings.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the airbag frame is connected to two connecting pipes via two air supply pipes, and the interior of the airbag frame is connected to the auxiliary airbag via an exhaust pipe.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This highly efficient and energy-saving water supply device achieves precise control of water pressure in the tank-type water supply tank by incorporating an air bladder. The expansion and contraction of the air bladder can be flexibly adjusted according to actual water demand and changes in external water pressure, thereby effectively controlling the water pressure inside the tank. The elasticity of the air bladder can absorb and release water pressure fluctuations, ensuring that the water pressure inside the tank remains stable when water consumption suddenly increases or decreases. This avoids the problem of unstable water supply caused by water pressure fluctuations in traditional water supply systems. Through the adjustment of the air bladder, the frequent start and stop of the water pump can be reduced, thus lowering energy consumption. At the same time, in conjunction with energy-saving equipment such as variable frequency water pumps, more precise water supply control can be achieved, further improving energy utilization efficiency. The buffering effect of the air bladder can reduce the impact of water flow on the tank wall, reduce the wear and aging rate of the equipment, and thus extend the service life of the water supply device.

[0013] This highly efficient and energy-saving water supply device optimizes and controls airbag inflation by incorporating an airbag frame. Specifically, the device first rapidly inflates the airbag frame, then uses the frame's support to inflate the airbag itself. The airbag frame, acting as an inflation intermediary, quickly and evenly transmits gas pressure to all parts of the airbag, avoiding the uneven local pressure issues that can occur with traditional direct inflation methods. This significantly improves inflation efficiency. The airbag frame provides additional support, ensuring the airbag remains stable under water pressure changes or external impacts, preventing deformation or damage and extending its lifespan. Precise control of the airbag frame's inflation level allows for fine adjustment of the airbag's expansion, thus more accurately controlling the water pressure within the tank-type water supply tank. This precise water pressure control is crucial for improving water supply stability and energy efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0019] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The conditions in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific conditions, and simple improvements to the method of the present invention under the premise of the concept of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a high-efficiency and energy-saving water supply device, including a tank-type water supply tank 1. An accessory box 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank-type water supply tank 1. An inlet pipe 101 and an outlet pipe 102 are respectively provided on the top and bottom of one side of the tank-type water supply tank 1. A circular auxiliary airbag 4 is provided inside the tank-type water supply tank 1. The interior of the tank-type water supply tank 1 is divided into a top cavity 103 and a bottom cavity 104 by the auxiliary airbag 4. An airbag frame 402 is provided inside the auxiliary airbag 4. Connecting pipes 401 are provided on both sides of the auxiliary airbag 4. Both connecting pipes 401 penetrate and extend to the outside of the tank-type water supply tank 1. A sealing flange 3 is provided at the end of each connecting pipe 401. Multiple equidistant rings are fixedly connected inside the tank-type water supply tank 1. U-shaped auxiliary frame 5, and annular auxiliary airbag 4 are installed inside multiple auxiliary frames 5. Airbag frame 402 includes four annular support rings 4021 fixedly connected to the inner wall of auxiliary airbag 4. The four support rings 4021 are respectively attached to the junction of the two inner rings and the outer ring of auxiliary airbag 4. Multiple first support parts 4022 are fixedly connected between two support rings 4021 on the same plane. Multiple second support parts 4025 are fixedly connected between two vertically overlapping support rings 4021. Airbag frame 402 is connected to two connecting pipes 401 through two air supply pipes 4023. The interior of airbag frame 402 is connected to auxiliary airbag 4 through exhaust pipe 4024.

[0021] When the water supply device is not activated, the auxiliary airbag 4 is in an uninflated state. The top cavity 103 and bottom cavity 104 of the tank-type water supply tank 1 are connected through the uninflated auxiliary airbag 4. At this time, the inlet pipe 101 and outlet pipe 102 are both closed or in standby state. When the water supply device needs to be activated, an external air source (such as a compressor or air pump) is connected to the air supply pipe 4023 through the sealing flange 3 on the connecting pipe 401 to inflate the airbag frame 402. As the airbag frame 402 gradually expands, its internal support ring 4021, first support part 4022 and second support part 4025 together form a stable support structure, pushing the auxiliary airbag 4 to expand outward. As the auxiliary airbag 4 expands, it gradually divides the tank-type water supply tank 1 into an independent top cavity 103 and bottom cavity 104. At this time, through Precise control of the inflation volume of the airbag frame 402 allows for fine adjustment of the expansion degree of the auxiliary airbag 4, thereby controlling the water pressure difference between the top cavity 103 and the bottom cavity 104. When water consumption increases, the water level in the bottom cavity 104 decreases, the water pressure decreases, and the auxiliary airbag 4 expands further under the action of air pressure, pushing more water from the top cavity 103 into the bottom cavity 104, which is then supplied to the user through the water outlet pipe 102. Conversely, when water consumption decreases, the water level in the bottom cavity 104 rises, the water pressure increases, and the auxiliary airbag 4 contracts under the water pressure, reducing the water supply to the bottom cavity 104. When the water supply device stops working or when water pressure needs to be adjusted, the gas in the airbag frame 402 can be discharged through the exhaust pipe 4024, allowing the auxiliary airbag 4 to return to its original state, thereby readjusting the water pressure balance between the top cavity 103 and the bottom cavity 104.

[0022] In this embodiment, by utilizing the synergistic effect of the airbag frame 402 and the auxiliary airbag 4, the water pressure inside the tank-type water supply tank 1 can be precisely adjusted by accurately controlling the inflation and deflation process of the airbag. The airbag frame 402 not only provides a stable support structure for the auxiliary airbag 4, but also achieves precise control of the shape of the airbag through its internal support ring 4021 and support part. At the same time, through the design of the connecting pipe 401 and the sealing flange 3, the external air source can be easily connected and the inflation and deflation process of the airbag can be controlled.

[0023] In this embodiment, precise control of the airbag inflation volume enables fine regulation of water pressure, avoiding energy waste caused by water pressure fluctuations in traditional water supply systems. Simultaneously, the airbag's elasticity absorbs and releases water pressure fluctuations, reducing frequent pump starts and stops and further lowering energy consumption. The airbag's expansion and contraction can be flexibly adjusted according to actual water demand and external water pressure changes, effectively controlling the water pressure inside the tank and ensuring water supply stability. The airbag's buffering effect reduces the impact of water flow on the tank wall, decreasing equipment wear and aging, thus extending the service life of the water supply device. The design of the airbag frame 402 and auxiliary airbag 4 allows for convenient inflation and deflation via the connecting pipe 401, facilitating daily maintenance and repair. Furthermore, the addition of the airbag frame 402 enhances the airbag's structural stability, making it more durable.

[0024] In this embodiment, a guide plate 105 is provided at the bottom of the bottom cavity 104, and a drain pipe 106 is provided at the bottom of the tank-type water supply tank 1. The guide plate 105 is cleverly designed and installed at the bottom of the bottom cavity 104. Its main function is to guide the water flow, ensuring that the water flow can be more uniform and stable within the bottom cavity 104. This helps to reduce the direct impact of the water flow on the bottom of the bottom cavity 104, thereby reducing the wear of the bottom cavity 104 wall and helping to improve the overall stability and durability of the water supply system. In addition, the guide plate 105 can also help sediment or impurities to settle at the bottom of the bottom cavity 104 to a certain extent, facilitating subsequent cleaning. For sewage discharge, the sewage pipe 106 is installed at the bottom of the tank-type water supply tank 1 and connected to the bottom cavity 104. Its main function is to discharge sediment, impurities or wastewater in the bottom cavity 104. With the long-term operation of the water supply system, some sediment or impurities may accumulate in the bottom cavity 104. These substances may affect water quality and water supply efficiency. By setting up the sewage pipe 106, we can regularly clean the sediment and impurities in the bottom cavity 104 to ensure the clean and efficient operation of the water supply system. At the same time, the sewage pipe 106 also facilitates the maintenance and repair of the water supply system, improving the overall reliability and service life of the system.

[0025] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Firstly, when the water supply device is not activated, the auxiliary airbag 4 is in an uninflated state. The top cavity 103 and bottom cavity 104 of the tank-type water supply tank 1 are connected through the uninflated auxiliary airbag 4. At this time, the inlet pipe 101 and outlet pipe 102 are both closed or in standby mode. When the water supply device needs to be activated, an external air source (such as a compressor or air pump) is connected to the air supply pipe 4023 via the sealing flange 3 on the connecting pipe 401 to inflate the airbag frame 402. As the airbag frame 402 gradually expands, its internal support ring 4021, first support part 4022, and second support part 4025 together form a stable support structure, pushing the auxiliary airbag 4 to expand outwards. As the auxiliary airbag 4 expands, it gradually divides the tank-type water supply tank 1 into an independent top cavity 103 and bottom cavity. 104. At this point, by precisely controlling the inflation amount of the airbag frame 402, the degree of expansion of the auxiliary airbag 4 can be finely adjusted, thereby controlling the water pressure difference between the top cavity 103 and the bottom cavity 104. When the water consumption increases, the water level in the bottom cavity 104 decreases, the water pressure decreases, and the auxiliary airbag 4 expands further under the action of air pressure, pushing more water from the top cavity 103 into the bottom cavity 104, which is then supplied to the user through the water outlet pipe 102. Conversely, when the water consumption decreases, the water level in the bottom cavity 104 rises, the water pressure increases, and the auxiliary airbag 4 contracts under the water pressure, reducing the water supply to the bottom cavity 104. When the water supply device stops working or the water pressure needs to be adjusted, the gas in the airbag frame 402 can be discharged through the exhaust pipe 4024, allowing the auxiliary airbag 4 to return to its original state, thereby readjusting the water pressure balance between the top cavity 103 and the bottom cavity 104.

[0026] It should be noted that the water pump, air pump, and control device inside the water supply device are all existing technologies, so they are not described in detail.
