Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible water tank technology, and in particular to a flexible water tank for fire fighting and disaster relief. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible water tanks are foldable, expandable, and flexible water storage devices made of flexible materials (usually high-strength fabrics, rubber, polyvinyl chloride, etc.). Due to their flexible structure, flexible water tanks can usually be folded into a smaller volume, making them easy to transport and deploy quickly. In disaster relief sites, where infrastructure may be damaged and water supply systems may fail, firefighters often cannot quickly obtain sufficient water sources, thus requiring the use of flexible water tanks for fire and disaster relief.
[0003] Flexible water tanks for firefighting and disaster relief can be categorized into several types, including fire-fighting water source tanks, emergency water supply tanks, and water quality protection tanks. The variety of tank types allows for flexible selection based on different needs. In firefighting and disaster relief, flexible water tanks have become crucial equipment due to their rapid deployment, ease of transportation, and large water storage capacity. Fire-fighting water source tanks, specifically designed to provide water for firefighting and rescue operations, typically have a large capacity, enabling them to quickly and effectively provide sufficient water support for firefighting.
[0004] However, traditional flexible water tanks present cumbersome issues in terms of roof disassembly and water pipe connection. Since the roof is typically connected to the tank body via straps, disassembly is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also difficult to achieve quickly. Especially in emergency rescue situations, roof disassembly can affect the smoothness of operations and reduce emergency response efficiency. Furthermore, traditional water pipe connection methods require users to rotate the pipe connectors multiple times to complete the connection, which is time-consuming and inconvenient. These problems are particularly prominent in emergency situations and urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a flexible water tank for fire fighting and disaster relief, which aims to improve the problem that the canopy of a flexible water tank is usually connected to the tank body by straps, which is cumbersome when water needs to be replenished.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fire-fighting and disaster relief soft water tank, including a tank body, a canopy on the top of the tank body, and a connecting component between the tank body and the canopy;
[0007] The connecting assembly includes a first strap, one end of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tank, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a connecting seat. A second strap is fixedly connected to the bottom of the roof, one end of which is fixedly connected to a connecting block. A retaining plate is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block. A limiting component is provided inside the first strap, and a retaining groove is opened inside the first strap, which fits into the retaining plate. A pressure column is fixedly connected to the top of the retaining plate, and a reset component is provided inside the connecting block.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The reset assembly includes a telescopic rod disposed between the pressure column and the connecting block. A first spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic rod. One end of the telescopic rod and one end of the first spring are both fixedly connected to one end of the pressure column, and the other end of the telescopic rod and the first spring are both fixedly connected inside the connecting block.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The limiting component includes a limiting block, one side of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting seat. A limiting groove is formed inside the connecting block, and the limiting block is slidably connected inside the limiting groove.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The tank body is fixedly connected to a water outlet pipe one, and a water outlet pipe two is slidably connected inside the water outlet pipe one. A top block is fixedly connected inside the water outlet pipe two, and a locking groove is opened inside the water outlet pipe two.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] A ball is slidably connected inside the first water outlet pipe, and a disassembly sleeve is slidably connected to the outer wall of the first water outlet pipe. A limit ring is fixedly connected inside the disassembly sleeve, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected inside the first water outlet pipe. The inner wall of the sealing ring is in contact with the outer wall of the second water outlet pipe.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] The water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to a fixed column inside. The fixed column has a cavity inside. A connecting column is slidably connected inside the fixed column. A limit plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting column. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting column. The outer wall of the sealing ring is in contact with the inner wall of the fixed column.
[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0019] A second spring is fitted on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe. One end of the second spring is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting ring, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the water outlet pipe.
[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0021] A third spring is fitted on the outer wall of the connecting column. One end of the third spring is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate, and the other end of the third spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing column.
[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. In this utility model, the pressure column is first pressed to push the card plate and the card slot to separate, thereby separating the connecting block and the connecting seat. After the pressure column is released, the tension of the first spring supports the pressure column to drive the card plate to reset, achieving the effect of protecting the water source and quickly disassembling the canopy. This solves the problem that the canopy of a soft water tank is usually connected to the tank body by a strap, which is cumbersome when water needs to be added, and improves the convenience of the soft water tank.
[0024] 2. In this utility model, the top block inside the second water outlet pipe abuts against the connecting column, causing the connecting column to move inside the fixed column. Then, the second sealing ring separates from the fixed column, allowing the water in the tank to flow into the second water outlet pipe after passing through the first water outlet pipe. This achieves the effect of quickly connecting the pipes, solves the problem of needing to rotate multiple times when connecting fire water pipes in the traditional way, and improves the practicality of the flexible water tank.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a fire-fighting and disaster relief soft water tank, including a tank body 1, a canopy 2 provided on the top of the tank body 1, and a connecting component provided between the tank body 1 and the canopy 2;
[0033] The connecting assembly includes a first strap 3, one end of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tank 1, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a connecting seat 5. The design of the first strap 3 ensures a tight connection between the roof 2 and the tank 1, preventing the roof 2 from loosening or falling off due to external forces during use. The first strap 3 distributes the force evenly to the tank 1 through the connecting seat 5, increasing the stability of the connection and ensuring the sealing performance of the tank 1. A second strap 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the roof 2, one end of which is fixedly connected to a connecting block 6, and a retaining plate 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 6. The retaining plate 7 can mate with the retaining groove 11 inside the first strap 3 to further secure the connection between the first strap 3 and the second strap 4. The function of the retaining plate 7 is to enhance the stability of the connection by engaging with the retaining groove 11, preventing the connection from loosening or falling off due to external vibration or pressure, and improving the safety of the water tank. The strap 3 has a limiting component inside, including a limiting block 12. One side of the limiting block 12 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting seat 5, and the limiting block 12 is connected to the internal retaining groove 11 of the strap 3 via a sliding structure. The design of the limiting component ensures that the operating range of the strap 3 is not exceeded and provides correct positioning during the connection process, avoiding misoperation or misalignment, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the connection. A pressure post 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the retaining plate 7. The pressure post 8, through the action of a spring, forms a certain pressure between the retaining plate 7 and the connecting block 6, ensuring a firm connection between the strap 3 and the second strap 4. The connecting block 6 has a reset component inside, including a telescopic rod 9. The telescopic rod 9 is positioned between the pressure post 8 and the connecting block 6, and a first spring 10 is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 9. The telescopic rod 9 and the first spring 10 are both fixedly connected to one end of the pressure column 8, and the other end of the telescopic rod 9 and the first spring 10 are both fixedly connected inside the connecting block 6. The function of the reset assembly is to ensure that the pressure column 8 can return to its original position in time during use through the tension of the spring, thereby effectively maintaining the connection tightness and preventing the structure from loosening. The setting of the limiting groove 13 and the limiting block 12 further enhances the stability of the connecting assembly. The limiting block 12 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 13, which can accurately guide the connecting block 6 to move within the length range of the strap 3.
[0034] Specifically, in the operation of separating the tank body 1 from the roof 2, the pressure column 8 is first pressed to disengage the tight connection between the clamping plate 7 and the clamping groove 11, thereby effectively separating the connecting block 6 from the connecting seat 5. When the operator releases the pressure column 8, the pressure column 8 quickly resets under the elastic force of the first spring 10, causing the clamping plate 7 to return to its original position. In this way, the connection between the tank body 1 and the roof 2 is quickly and smoothly released, ensuring that the separation process is both efficient and safe.
[0035] Reference Figure 4The tank body 1 has a fixedly connected outlet pipe 14, and an outlet pipe 15 is slidably connected inside outlet pipe 14. A top block 17 is fixedly connected inside outlet pipe 15, providing stable fixation and ensuring that outlet pipe 15 will not loosen or fall off during operation. An internal locking groove 16 is provided in outlet pipe 15, which accommodates a ball 20 from the connecting assembly, thus achieving a secure connection between outlet pipe 15 and outlet pipe 14 and preventing detachment during use. The ball 20 is slidably connected inside outlet pipe 14, and its engagement with the locking groove 16 provides a quick and stable connection, reducing the complexity of manual operation. A disassembly sleeve 18 is slidably connected to the outer wall of outlet pipe 14, allowing for quick separation of outlet pipe 14 and outlet pipe 15 by easily unlocking the locking device when disassembly is needed. The disassembly sleeve 18 is internally fixedly connected to a limiting ring 19. The limiting ring 19 is used to guide the displacement of the disassembly sleeve 18, ensuring its smooth sliding and avoiding jamming or deformation, thus ensuring the smooth disassembly process. The outlet pipe 14 is internally fixedly connected to a sealing ring 21. The inner wall of the sealing ring 21 fits against the outer wall of the outlet pipe 25. The design of the sealing ring 21 can effectively prevent water leakage at the connection, ensuring a tight seal between the outlet pipe 14 and the outlet pipe 25, thereby improving the water transmission efficiency and preventing water leakage. The outlet pipe 14 is internally fixedly connected to a fixing post 23. The fixing post 23 has a cavity 24 inside, which provides sliding space for the connecting post 25, ensuring the smooth movement of the connecting post 25 within the fixing post 23. A connecting column 25 is slidably connected inside the fixed column 23. A limiting plate 27 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting column 25. The function of the limiting plate 27 is to control the displacement range of the connecting column 25, prevent it from exceeding the preset range of motion, and ensure the positional accuracy of the connecting column 25 in the entire water flow control system. A second sealing ring 26 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting column 25. The outer wall of the second sealing ring 26 fits against the inner wall of the fixed column 23. The function of the second sealing ring 26 is to further enhance the sealing effect between the connecting column 25 and the fixed column 23, prevent water leakage during the connection process, and improve the overall sealing performance. A second spring 22 is fitted on the outer wall of the outlet pipe 14. One end of the second spring 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting ring 19, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inside of the outlet pipe 14. The second spring 22 ensures that the disassembly sleeve 18 can automatically return to its original position after use, maintaining the stability and operability of the entire device. A third spring 28 is fitted on the outer wall of the connecting column 25. One end of the third spring 28 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 27, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing column 23. The function of the third spring 28 is to provide the resetting elastic force for the connecting column 25, ensuring the normal operation of the connecting column 25 during disassembly or connection, and avoiding loose or loose connections due to external forces or water flow, thereby ensuring smooth water flow and sealing effect of the soft water tank.
[0036] Specifically, when connecting water outlet pipe 2 15 to water outlet pipe 14, water outlet pipe 2 15 is first smoothly inserted into water outlet pipe 14, forming a tight interface. Then, ball 20 is precisely embedded in locking groove 16, ensuring a stable and secure connection between the two pipes. Simultaneously, the elastic force of the second spring 22 pushes the limiting ring 19 to reset, firmly holding the ball 20 against it, further enhancing the stability of the connection. During this process, sealing ring 21 plays a crucial role, effectively sealing the connection between water outlet pipe 2 15 and water outlet pipe 14, preventing water leakage. When the top block 17 inside water outlet pipe 2 15 contacts connecting post 25, the top block 17 drives connecting post 25 to move smoothly within fixed post 23, pushing sealing ring 2 26 to separate from fixed post 23. In this way, water in tank 1 can flow into cavity 24 through water outlet pipe 14 and smoothly enter water outlet pipe 2 15, ensuring smooth water flow. When disassembly is required, simply separate water outlet pipe 215 from water outlet pipe 14. Sealing ring 26 will quickly reset under the tension of the third spring 28, driving the connecting column 25 back to its original position, thus completing the quick separation operation of the connecting pipes.
[0037] Working principle: When using this fire-fighting and disaster relief soft water tank, firstly, when separating the tank body 1 from the roof 2, press the pressure column 8 to push the card plate 7 to separate from the card slot 11, thereby separating the connecting block 6 from the connecting seat 5. Then, after releasing the pressure column 8, the tension of the first spring 10 supports the pressure column 8 to drive the card plate 7 to reset, thus achieving the effect of quickly separating the roof 2 from the tank body 1.
[0038] When water outlet pipe 2 15 is connected to water outlet pipe 14, water outlet pipe 2 15 is directly inserted into water outlet pipe 14. Then, ball 20 is embedded in locking groove 16. The tension of second spring 22 pushes limit ring 19 to reset, so that limit ring 19 abuts against ball 20. Water outlet pipe 2 15 and water outlet pipe 14 are sealed by sealing ring 1 21. Then, top block 17 in water outlet pipe 2 15 abuts against connecting post 25, causing connecting post 25 to move in fixed post 23. Then, sealing ring 2 26 separates from fixed post 23, so that water in tank 1 can flow into water outlet pipe 25 after entering cavity 24 through water outlet pipe 14. When separation is required, water outlet pipe 2 15 separates from water outlet pipe 14. Sealing ring 2 26 will be supported by the tension of third spring 28 to drive connecting post 25 to reset, achieving the effect of quick pipe connection.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
