Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water supply and drainage engineering technology, and in particular relates to a double-tank safety water tower. Background Technology

[0002] Safety towers, as a crucial water supply infrastructure, play multiple key roles in urban water supply networks, industrial production processes, and emergency response systems. These facilities are typically designed with ample storage capacity to store sufficient water resources to cope with varying water demands. During periods of low demand, safety towers effectively store excess water, ensuring timely replenishment during peak demand periods and maintaining the stable operation of the water supply system. In the face of unforeseen events that may occur to the water supply system, such as water plant equipment failures or pipeline ruptures, safety towers, with their stored water, can quickly activate emergency water supply mechanisms to provide users with continuous temporary water services.

[0003] In recent years, with the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous growth of water demand, traditional single-tank water systems often struggle to quickly replenish sufficient water during peak water usage, leading to fluctuations in water supply pressure and impacting the user experience. Furthermore, in single-tank systems, the lack of water renewal over extended periods makes them prone to bacterial growth and water quality deterioration. The shared space between the inlet and outlet pipes within the single tank can also create stagnant water zones, further exacerbating water quality risks. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a dual-tank safety water tower to solve the technical problem of unstable water supply of single-tank safety water towers during peak water usage.

[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A dual-tank safety water tower, comprising:

[0007] The box body includes an outer shell and an inner partition disposed inside the outer shell. The outer shell includes an upper shell and a lower shell. The interior of the box body is divided into an inner water tank and an outer water tank surrounding the inner water tank by the inner partition. The inner water tank is connected to the outer water tank. The included angle between the inner partition and the side wall of the lower shell is an acute angle.

[0008] A support cylinder, located at the bottom of the box, is used to support the box.

[0009] Optionally, the upper shell is in the shape of a right circular cone, the lower shell is in the shape of an inverted circular cone, the top end of the upper shell is connected to an upper ring beam, the bottom end of the upper shell is connected to the top end of the lower shell through a middle ring beam, and the bottom end of the lower shell is connected to a lower ring beam.

[0033] In order to describe this utility model in detail, the following is a specific description of the double-tank safety water tower of this utility model:

[0034] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a double-tank safety water tower, including: a tank body and a support cylinder 30. The tank body includes an outer shell 10 and an inner partition 20 disposed inside the outer shell 10. The outer shell 10 includes an upper shell portion 11 and a lower shell portion 12. The interior of the tank body is divided by the inner partition 20 into an inner water tank 101 and an outer water tank 102 surrounding the inner water tank 101. The inner water tank 101 is connected to the outer water tank 102. The included angle between the inner partition 20 and the side wall of the lower shell portion 12 is an acute angle. The support cylinder 30 is located at the bottom of the tank body and is used to support the tank body.

[0035] Specifically, the support cylinder 30 is located at the bottom of the tank and serves to support the tank. The support cylinder 30 also helps to distribute pressure at the bottom of the tank, extending its service life. An inner partition 20 surrounds the middle of the tank, dividing the interior of the outer shell 10 into two water storage areas: an inner water tank 101 and an outer water tank 102. The angle between the inner partition 20 and the side wall of the lower shell 12 of the outer shell 10 is acute, which helps optimize the use of space inside the tank, improves water storage efficiency, and the acute angle design also helps to enhance the structural strength of the tank and improve the deformation resistance of the inner partition 20. The internal structure of the tank consists of an inner water tank 101 and an outer water tank 102 separated by an inner partition 20. This allows the tanks to have two distinct water storage areas, with one serving as the main tank and the other as a backup tank. The main tank is responsible for daily water supply, while the backup (regulating) tank provides supplementary water supply when the main tank is under maintenance, malfunctions, or has insufficient supply. The two tanks can operate independently, preventing contamination or malfunction of one tank from affecting the entire water supply system. During peak water usage periods, both tanks can supply water simultaneously to meet demand. When one tank requires maintenance, the other tank can continue supplying water, minimizing downtime.

[0036] In some embodiments, the upper shell 11 is a right conical shape, and the lower shell 12 is an inverted conical shape. An upper ring beam 13 is connected to the top of the upper shell 11, and the bottom of the upper shell 11 is connected to the top of the lower shell 12 via a middle ring beam 14. A lower ring beam 15 is connected to the bottom of the lower shell 12. Specifically, the conical structure of the upper shell 11 and lower shell 12 enhances the stability and load-bearing capacity of the outer shell 10. The upper ring beam 13, middle ring beam 14, and lower ring beam 15 are all annular structures, providing support for the entire outer shell 10 and enhancing its overall rigidity and resistance to deformation.

[0037] See Figure 1In some embodiments, the top end of the inner partition 20 is connected to an inner ring beam 21, and the bottom end of the inner partition 20 is connected to the lower ring beam 15. The inner ring beam 21 and the middle ring beam 14 are connected by multiple tie beams 22. The height of the inner partition 20 is less than or equal to the height of the middle ring beam 14. Specifically, the inner partition 20 has an inverted bucket-like structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The outer diameter of the inner partition 20 gradually decreases along the direction close to the lower ring beam 15. The outer diameter of the top end of the inner partition 20 matches the outer diameter of the inner ring beam 21. The inner partition 20, through the inner ring beam 21 connected at the top end and the lower ring beam 15 connected at the bottom end, forms an internal support structure, enhancing the overall rigidity and stability of the inner partition 20. The inner ring beam 21 and the middle ring beam 14 are connected by multiple tie beams 22. These tie beams 22 are evenly distributed circumferentially along the inner ring beam 21. The tie beams 22 not only strengthen the internal connection but also effectively disperse and resist forces applied internally or externally, preventing structural deformation or damage. In other words, the force on the inner partition 20 is distributed to the outer shell 10. By rationally designing the height of the inner partition 20 (less than or equal to the height of the middle ring beam 14), the spatial distribution between different areas can be ensured, while avoiding interference with the middle ring beam 14 and its upper structure. In this example, the inner water tank 101 and the outer water tank 102 are separated by the lower ring beam 15, the middle ring beam 14, the upper ring beam 13, the inner ring beam 21, the tie beams 22, and the inner partition 20. Both the inner water tank 101 and the outer water tank 102 are inverted conical structures, and the lower ring beam 15, the middle ring beam 14, the upper ring beam 13, and the inner ring beam 21 are all circular concrete beams.

[0038] See Figure 3 In other embodiments, the inner partition 20 is vertically arranged, and its bottom end is connected to the lower shell portion 12 of the outer shell 10. The height of the inner partition 20 is less than or equal to the height of the middle ring beam 14. Specifically, the inner partition 20 has a cylindrical structure. Its vertical arrangement ensures its stability and support within the outer shell 10. The bottom end of the inner partition 20 is connected to the lower shell portion 12 of the outer shell 10, enhancing the integrity and stability between the inner partition 20 and the outer shell 10, making the entire structure more robust and reliable. The height of the inner partition 20 is less than or equal to the height of the middle ring beam 14, ensuring that the inner partition 20 does not interfere with the normal operation of the middle ring beam 14 and its upper structure. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the inner partition 20 can be set according to the volume requirements of the inner water tank 101 and the outer water tank 102. In this example, the inner water tank 101 and the outer water tank 102 are separated into inner and outer water tanks by the lower ring beam 15, the middle ring beam 14, the upper ring beam 13 and the inner partition 20. The inner water tank 101 is roughly cylindrical and the outer water tank 102 is inverted conical. The lower ring beam 15, the middle ring beam 14 and the upper ring beam 13 are all circular concrete beams.

[0039] In the above embodiment, a ring plate 40 is provided at the top of the support cylinder 30, and the box body is connected to the ring plate 40 through the lower ring beam 15; a manhole passage 50 is opened at the top of the support cylinder 30, the manhole passage 50 passes through the inner water tank 101 and extends to the top of the box body, and a manhole platform 51 is provided at the top of the manhole passage 50, and a first fence 52 is provided around the manhole platform 51. Specifically, the box body is connected to the ring plate 40 through the lower ring beam 15, the ring plate 40 has a circular structure, and the ring plate 40 is connected to the support cylinder. The support cylinder 30 is a cylindrical thin-walled concrete structure. The top of the support cylinder 30 is interlocked with the ring plate 40 through evenly distributed support columns to form a whole. The inner water tank 101 and the outer water tank 102 distribute the top load evenly on the support cylinder 30 through the ring plate 40. The manhole passage 50 is a maintenance passage for the water tank. The bottom of the manhole passage 50 is connected to the ring plate 40, and the top is equipped with a circular manhole platform 51. The manhole platform 51 is higher than the middle ring beam 14. The manhole platform 51 is surrounded by a first fence 52 for protection.

[0040] Understandably, a rest platform 31 is provided inside the support cylinder 30, and a manhole ladder 53 extending from the rest platform 31 to the manhole platform 51 is provided inside the manhole passage 50; a support cylinder air window 32 is provided on the side wall of the support cylinder 30, and a support cylinder ladder 33 extending from the support cylinder air window 32 to the bottom of the support cylinder 30 is provided inside the support cylinder 30. Specifically, the rest platform 31 can be configured as an arc-shaped structure, providing a place for workers or maintenance personnel to rest during long-term climbing or underground operations; the rest platform 31 has an opening for a manhole ladder 53, which facilitates safe and smooth movement of operators between the rest platform 31 and the manhole platform 51, and the manhole ladder 53 can also extend from the manhole platform 51 along the outer wall of the manhole passage 50 to the bottom wall of the inner water tank 101; the support cylinder air window 32 facilitates internal ventilation of the support cylinder 30, reducing air quality problems caused by long-term closed operations; the support cylinder ladder 33 facilitates easy access for operators to enter and exit the support cylinder 30 to perform necessary inspections or maintenance.

[0041] In the above embodiment, a louvered roof 60 is provided on the top of the box body, and multiple roof support columns 61 are evenly distributed on the top wall of the upper ring beam 13. The louvered roof 60 is supported by the multiple roof support columns 61, and multiple louvered windows 62 are opened circumferentially on the louvered roof 60. Specifically, the louvered roof 60, as a cover on the top of the box body, mainly serves to protect the internal space of the box body. At the same time, the louvered roof 60 is also an important component of the ventilation system, and air circulation is achieved through the louvered windows 62 opened on it. The multiple roof support columns 61 are evenly distributed on the upper ring beam 13 to support the louvered roof 60, ensuring that the louvered roof 60 is subjected to uniform force and improving the overall stability of the structure. The louvered windows 62 are opened circumferentially along the louvered roof 60, ensuring that air can enter the interior of the box body evenly from all directions. The louvered windows 62 can be arranged as needed.

[0042] It should be noted that a second guardrail 70 is provided at the top edge of the enclosure, the second guardrail 70 is arranged around the circumference of the enclosure, and the second guardrail 70 is located on the central ring beam 14. Specifically, the second guardrail 70 is provided at the top edge of the upper shell 11 to protect the safety of operators operating on the top of the enclosure. In addition, a drip edge is provided on the outer periphery of the central ring beam 14 to prevent water droplets from eroding the surface of the water tower. A cement mortar and waterproof coating protective layer is provided on the surface of the upper shell 11 of the outer shell 10 to improve the corrosion resistance of the outer shell 10.

[0043] In addition, a lightning rod 63 is provided at the top center of the enclosure to guide lightning to the ground, preventing radar from directly hitting the water tower and thus protecting the internal structure of the water tower.

[0044] Understandably, both the inner water tank 101 and the outer water tank 102 are equipped with overflow pipes, outlet pipes, inlet pipes, and level gauges. Specifically, the overflow pipe is located at the top or an appropriate height of the inner water tank 101 and the outer water tank 102. When the water level in the tank exceeds a preset safe height, the overflow pipe will automatically open to discharge excess water, preventing the tank from overflowing due to overfilling and causing water waste or safety hazards. The outlet pipe is located at the bottom or lower side wall of the inner water tank 101 and the outer water tank 102 to facilitate water discharge and meet water usage needs. The inlet pipe is located at the top or upper side wall of the tank to facilitate water injection, ensuring that the tank can continuously and stably receive water and meet its water storage requirements. The level gauge is located inside the inner water tank 101 and the outer water tank 102 to detect water level changes in real time, providing timely and accurate level information for management personnel.

[0045] In the above embodiments, the inner water tank 101, outer water tank 102, and support cylinder 30 are all reinforced concrete structures. Reinforced concrete structures have excellent durability and can resist damage from natural factors such as weathering and erosion. Using reinforced concrete structures ensures that components such as the inner water tank 101, outer water tank 102, and support cylinder 30 remain stable and safe under various complex environmental conditions.

[0046] In summary, the dual-tank safety water tower provided by this utility model, by dividing the interior of the tank into an inner water tank 101 and an outer water tank 102 surrounding the inner water tank 101 by an inner partition 20, effectively ensures the continuity and stability of water supply. The inner water tank 101 and the outer water tank 102 serve as backups for each other. One water tank acts as the main water tank responsible for daily water supply, while the other water tank acts as a backup water tank to provide supplementary water supply when the main water tank is under maintenance, malfunctions, or has insufficient water supply, ensuring uninterrupted water supply. Moreover, it enhances the safety of the water tower, as the two water tanks can operate independently, avoiding the impact of contamination or malfunction of one water tank on the entire water supply system, thereby improving the user's water experience.

[0047] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
