Exemplarily, in this embodiment of the application, the first fixing space 330 and the first insertion groove 341 are connected; in other possible embodiments, the first fixing space 330 and the first insertion groove 341 are not connected.

[0114] refer to Figure 8A and Figure 9 The second fastener 400 includes a third fastening portion 410, a fourth fastening portion 420, and three second insertion portions 440. The three second insertion portions 440 are located on the same side of the third fastening portion 410 and the fourth fastening portion 420, and are spaced apart along the vertical direction Z. The second insertion portions 440 are connected to the third fastening portion 410 and the fourth fastening portion 420. In some possible embodiments, the second insertion portions 440 are integrally formed with the third fastening portion 410 and the fourth fastening portion 420. However, this is not a limitation; in other possible embodiments, the second insertion portions 440 may also be assembled with the third fastening portion 410 and the fourth fastening portion 420.

[0115] Continue to refer to Figure 8A and Figure 9 The third fixing part 410 and the fourth fixing part 420 are spaced apart and form a second fixing space 430. A portion of the second end 120 of the pool wall body 1 is located in the second fixing space 430 (in other possible embodiments, the entire second end 120 may be located in the second fixing space 430).

[0116] refer to Figure 7B and Figure 8B and combined Figure 7A , Figure 8A and Figure 9 The third fixing part 410 is provided with a plurality of third fixing holes 411 arranged in the vertical direction Z, and the fourth fixing part 420 is provided with a plurality of fourth fixing holes 421 arranged in the vertical direction Z. The plurality of third fixing holes 411 and the plurality of fourth fixing holes 421 correspond one-to-one and are aligned along the thickness direction V of the second fixing member 400 (that is, the spacing direction between the third fixing part 410 and the fourth fixing part 420, also called the horizontal direction). The second end 120 of the pool wall body 1 is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 121. The number of the plurality of second mounting holes 121, the number of the plurality of third fixing holes 411, and the number of the plurality of fourth fixing holes 421 are the same and correspond one-to-one. Along the thickness direction V of the second fixing member 400, each second mounting hole 121 is located between a corresponding third fixing hole 411 and a fourth fixing hole 421, and one second mounting hole 121 is aligned with a corresponding third fixing hole 411 and a fourth fixing hole 421 along the thickness direction V of the second fixing member 400.

[0117] Exemplarily, the aligned second mounting hole 121, third fixing hole 411, and fourth fixing hole 421 are secured by a rivet 500 to fix the second fastener 400 to the second end 120 of the pool wall body 1. Specifically, the rivet 500 passes through the third fixing hole 411, the second mounting hole 121, and the fourth fixing hole 421 in sequence, or the rivet 500 passes through the fourth fixing hole 421, the second mounting hole 121, and the third fixing hole 411 in sequence, thereby fixing the second fastener 400 to the second end 120 of the pool wall body 1.

[0118] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not impose special restrictions on the fixing method of the second mounting hole 121, the third fixing hole 411 and the fourth fixing hole 421. In other possible embodiments, the second mounting hole 121, the third fixing hole 411 and the fourth fixing hole 421 can also be fixed by fasteners such as screws, bolts, and pins.

[0119] Continue to refer to Figure 8A and Figure 9 The second insertion portion 440 is located on the side of the second fixing member 400 away from the pool wall body 1. The second insertion portion 440 is cylindrical and hollow inside to form a second insertion groove 441, into which the pin 200 is inserted. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the second fixing space 430 and the second insertion groove 441 are connected; in other possible embodiments, the second fixing space 430 and the second insertion groove 441 are not connected.

[0120] When the user connects the first end and the second end of the pool wall body 1, a first plug 340 is positioned between two adjacent second plugs 440, and the first plug slot 341 of each first plug 340 and the second plug slot 441 of each second plug 440 are aligned in the vertical direction Z. Then, the pin 200 is inserted in the vertical direction Z into the second plug slot 441 of the three second plugs 440 and the first plug slot 341 of the two first plugs 340, thereby connecting the first end 110 and the second end 120 of the pool wall body 1.

[0121] The first end 110 and the second end 120 of the pool wall body 1 are connected by the above-mentioned connecting component 700. The structure is simple and convenient for users to install the ground pool.

[0122] The present application does not impose any special limitation on the number of first plug-in portions 340 in the first fastener 300. For example, in other possible implementations, the number of first plug-in portions 340 in the first fastener 300 may be one, two, three, four, or five, etc., which can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual height or size of the ground water tank. Accordingly, the larger the size of the ground water tank, the more first plug-in portions 340 need to be provided in the vertical direction Z of the first fastener 300.

[0123] The present application does not impose any special limitation on the number of the second insertion portions 440 in the second fastener 400. For example, in other possible implementations, the number of the second insertion portions 440 in the second fastener 400 can be one, two, three, four, five, or six, etc., which can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual height or size of the ground water tank. Accordingly, the larger the size of the ground water tank, the more second insertion portions 440 need to be provided in the vertical direction Z of the second fastener 400.

[0124] For example, along the vertical direction Z, the upper end of the pin 200 is provided with an operating part 600, which allows the user to remove the pin 200 from the first insertion slot 341 of the first insertion part 340 and the second insertion slot 441 of the second insertion part 440 through the operating part 600, making it convenient for the user to disassemble the ground water tank for storage, maintenance or replacement of parts of the ground water tank.

[0125] refer to Figure 7A and Figure 8A In this embodiment, the operating part 600 is a pull ring 610. A connecting hole 210 is provided at the upper end of the pin 200, through which the pin 200 passes. A portion of the pull ring 610 is accommodated within the connecting hole 210 to secure the pull ring 610 to the pin 200. The user can pull the pin 200 out of the first insertion slot 341 and the second insertion slot 441 using the pull ring 610 to facilitate the disassembly of the floor pool.

[0126] refer to Figures 11 to 15 In some possible implementations, the operating part 600 includes a second connecting part 621 (also called a lower connecting part) and four first bosses 625.

[0127] For example, the second connecting part 621 is hollow inside and forms a first receiving space 622 (also called receiving space), and the inner wall of the first receiving space 622 is provided with two annular first ribs 623 (also called ribs).

[0128] Correspondingly, the upper end of the pin 200 is provided with a first connecting portion 220 (also called the upper connecting portion), which connects to the second connecting portion 621 so that the operating part 600 connects to the pin 200. Specifically, the outer wall of the first connecting portion 220 is provided with two annular grooves 221, which are spaced apart along the length X of the pin 200. The two annular grooves 221 correspond one-to-one with the two first protrusions 623. When the user installs the operating part 600 on the pin 200, the first connecting portion 220 at the upper end of the pin 200 is accommodated in the first accommodating space 622, and each first protrusion 623 engages with an annular groove 221 to fix the operating part 600 to the upper end of the pin 200. Thus, the user can pull the pin 200 out of the first insertion slot 341 and the second insertion slot 441 by holding the first protrusion 625 of the operating part 600 with their fingers, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the floor sink.

[0129] In some other possible implementations, two annular grooves 221 may also be provided on the inner wall of the first receiving space 622, and correspondingly, two annular first ribs 623 are provided on the outer wall of the first connecting portion 220.

[0130] It should be noted that the number of annular grooves 221 is not specifically limited in this embodiment and can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, in other possible implementations, the number of annular grooves 221 can be one, three, four, or more.

[0131] The number of the first ribs 623 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, in other possible implementations, the number of the first ribs 623 can be one, three, or four, etc., as long as the number of the first ribs 623 is the same as the number of the annular grooves 221.

[0132] For example, the first boss 625 extends outward from the outer wall of the operating part 600 along the transverse Y direction (the transverse Y direction is perpendicular to the length direction X of the pin 200, and the transverse Y direction is also the extension direction of the first boss 625). Among them, two of the four first bosses 625 are located on the side of the operating part 600 facing the first end 110 of the pool wall body 1, and the other two of the four first bosses 625 are located on the side of the operating part 600 facing the second end 120 of the pool wall body 1.

[0133] It is understood that the present application does not impose special restrictions on the extension direction of the first boss 625. For example, in other possible implementations, the angle between the extension direction of the first boss 625 and the length direction X of the pin 200 is an acute angle.

[0134] It should be noted that when the first end 110 and the second end 120 of the pool wall body 1 are connected by the first fixing member 300, the second fixing member 400 and the pin 200, the length direction X of the pin 200 is the same as the vertical direction Z.

[0135] For example, two first protrusions 625 located on the same side of the operation part 600 are spaced apart and form a recess 624. That is, a recess 624 is provided on each of the opposite sides of the operation part 600. When the two ends of the pool wall body 1 are connected, one of the two recesses 624 accommodates a part of the first fixing member 300, and the other recess 624 accommodates a part of the second fixing member 400. Thus, the operation part 600 can avoid interfering with the first fixing member 300 and the second fixing member 400, and avoid occupying space.

[0136] It is understood that the number of the first protrusions 625 of the operating part 600 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. For example, in other possible implementations, the number of the first protrusions 625 may be one, two, three or five, etc.

[0137] For example, refer to Figures 16 to 18 In some other possible implementations, the operating part 600 includes a third connecting part 631 (also called a lower connecting part) and a second boss 634.

[0138] For example, the third connecting part 631 is hollow inside and forms a second receiving space 632 (also called receiving space), and the inner wall of the second receiving space 632 is provided with two annular second ribs 633 (also called ribs).

[0139] Correspondingly, the upper end of the pin 200 is provided with a first connecting portion 220 (also called the upper connecting portion). The outer wall of the first connecting portion 220 is provided with two annular grooves 221, which are spaced apart along the length direction X of the pin 200. The two annular grooves 221 correspond one-to-one with the two second ribs 633. When the user installs the operating part 600 on the pin 200, the first connecting portion 220 at the upper end of the pin 200 is accommodated in the second accommodating space 632, and each second rib 633 engages with one annular groove 221 to concave and convexly fit, thereby limiting the operating part 600 to the upper end of the pin 200. Thus, the user can pull the pin 200 out of the first insertion slot 341 and the second insertion slot 441 by holding the operating part 600, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the floor pool.

[0140] In some other possible implementations, two annular grooves 221 may also be provided on the inner wall of the second receiving space 632, and correspondingly, two annular second ribs 633 are provided on the outer wall of the first connecting portion 220.

[0141] The present application does not impose any special restrictions on the number of the second ribs 633. For example, in other possible implementations, the number of the second ribs 633 may be one, three, or four, etc., as long as the number of the second ribs 633 is the same as the number of the annular grooves 221.

[0142] For example, the second protrusion 634 protrudes outward from the outer wall of the operating part 600 along the transverse Y direction of the pin (the transverse Y direction is perpendicular to the length direction X of the pin 200, and the transverse Y direction is also the extension direction of the second protrusion 634), and the second protrusion 634 is provided for the user to grip. For example, the side of the second protrusion 634 facing the pin 200 is provided with multiple anti-slip strips 635, which can effectively prevent the user's fingers from slipping when pulling out the pin, making it easier for the user to pull out the pin 200 from the first insertion slot 341 and the second insertion slot 441, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the floor sink.

[0143] It is understood that the present application does not impose special restrictions on the extension direction of the second boss 634. For example, in other possible implementations, the angle between the extension direction of the second boss 634 and the length direction X of the pin 200 is an acute angle.

[0144] For example, refer to Figures 19 to 21 The above-ground water tank in this embodiment of the application also includes an inner tank 130 and a pressure strip 140.

[0145] The inner liner 130 is located on the inside of the pool wall body 1 and fixed to the pool wall body 1. The inner liner 130 is used to hold water for users to relax and entertain in the ground pool.

[0146] Specifically, the inner liner 130 is adapted to the shape of the pool wall body 1, that is, the inner liner 130 is annular. The upper end 131 of the inner liner 130 is folded outward to cover the upper end 101 of the pool wall body 1. A pressure strip 140 is provided above the inner liner 130, and the pressure strip 140 provides a clamping force to the upper end 131 of the inner liner 130 and the upper end 101 of the pool wall body 1 to press the upper end 131 of the inner liner 130 and the upper end 101 of the pool wall body 1 together, thereby fixing the inner liner 130 to the pool wall body 1.

[0147] Continue to refer to Figure 7A and combined Figures 19 to 21 In the installation of the above-ground water tank according to this embodiment, the first end 110 and the second end 120 of the water tank wall body 1 are first connected by the connecting component 700. Then, the upper end 131 of the inner tank 130 is folded outward, so that the upper end 131 of the inner tank 130 covers the upper end 101 of the water tank wall body 1. Next, the upper end 131 of the inner tank 130 and the upper end 101 of the water tank wall body 1 are fixed by the pressure strip 140. Finally, the support plate 7, the bracket 8, and the decorative cover plate 9 are sequentially installed on the outside of the water tank wall body 1 to complete the installation of the above-ground water tank.

[0148] The inner liner 130 has generally sheet-like sidewalls and bottom walls, optionally containing one polymer material (e.g., but not limited to PVC, LLDPE, EVA) or a mixture of multiple polymer materials. In some embodiments, the inner liner 130 is made of a thin film of polymer material. In other embodiments, the inner liner 130 has a composite structure, for example, the inner liner 130 is laminated with one or more layers of polymer material and one or more layers of mesh fiber (e.g., fabric).
