Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of emergency water tank technology, specifically a safety protection mechanism for a low-level emergency water tank. Background Technology

[0002] Low-level emergency water tanks refer to emergency water tanks installed in low locations or basements, whose main function is to store fire-fighting water, wartime drinking water, or emergency water sources for geological disasters.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional low-level emergency water tanks are often equipped with simple physical protective mechanisms on the outside of the tank to prevent damage from accidental impacts. However, the effectiveness of these simple physical protective mechanisms is limited. If the physical protective mechanisms are damaged and a hole is created, it is difficult to notify personnel in time for repairs. If the protective mechanisms cannot be repaired in time, the water tank may be damaged, leading to unnecessary water waste. In emergency situations such as war or disasters, this can lead to even more serious consequences. Therefore, a safety protection mechanism for low-level emergency water tanks that can provide timely leak alarms is needed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a safety protection mechanism for a low-level emergency water tank to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a low-level emergency water tank safety protection mechanism, including a protective shell, a water storage tank disposed in the middle of the inner side of the protective shell, and a detection mechanism for detecting leakage disposed between the protective shell and the water storage tank. The detection mechanism includes an inflation valve, a sandwich layer, and an air pressure detection device. An inflation valve is fixedly disposed on one side of the protective shell, a sandwich layer is disposed between the protective shell and the water storage tank, and an air pressure detection device is fixedly disposed at the upper end of the inner side of the protective shell. It should be noted that the inflation valve of this device is a simple one-way valve. Air can be injected into the sandwich layer through this inflation valve, but the air in the sandwich layer cannot leak out through this inflation valve. This is a structure commonly used in vehicle tires in the prior art. It can be opened when high-pressure air is injected into the sandwich layer, but can be automatically sealed when not inflated to prevent the air inside the sandwich layer from flowing out. However, since the inflation valve is a mature technology in the prior art, this application document will not elaborate on it further.

[0006] Preferably, a drain pipe is fixedly installed at the lower middle part of the water storage tank, and a water inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the upper part of one side of the water storage tank. Both the drain pipe and the water inlet pipe extend through the protective shell to the outside of the protective shell. The drain pipe and the water inlet pipe are welded and sealed to the protective shell. Water inside the water storage tank can be discharged through the drain pipe, while water can be replenished into the water storage tank through the water inlet pipe.

[0007] Preferably, both the drain pipe and the inlet pipe are fixedly provided with a connecting flange at one end, which allows the drain pipe and the inlet pipe to be easily connected to other pipes.

[0008] Preferably, a water level sensor is fixedly installed at the upper part of the inside of the water storage tank. The water level sensor can monitor the water level inside the water storage tank in real time, thereby facilitating the control of water injection and discharge. The water level sensor of this device can be, but is not limited to, an ultrasonic water level monitoring device.

[0009] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly installed between the water storage tank and the protective shell. The fixing block is hollowed out, which can ensure the stability of the water storage tank inside the protective shell. At the same time, when an impact occurs, the interlayer of this device can provide a certain amount of crumple space for the protective shell. That is to say, when the protective shell is deformed by impact, the existence of the interlayer will prevent the deformed protective shell from squeezing the water storage tank. In addition, the fixing block is also hollowed out and can also crumple after being impacted, thereby further improving the safety protection effect of the device.

[0010] Preferably, each of the four corners of the outer surface of the protective shell is fixedly provided with a column, which can provide stable support for the entire device.

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

[0012] 1. This utility model's air pressure detection device only needs to detect and monitor in real time whether there is a sudden change in air pressure in the interlayer. This will indicate whether the protective shell or the tank of the water storage tank is severely damaged and has a hole. If either the protective shell or the tank of the water storage tank is severely damaged and has a hole, the high pressure inside the interlayer will be lost. In this way, the air pressure detection device will transmit this detection data to the control terminal, and the staff will know that the device is damaged and needs to be repaired. This allows for timely alarm and repair work.

[0013] 2. When an impact occurs, the interlayer of this device can provide a certain crumple space for the protective shell. That is to say, when the protective shell is deformed by impact, the deformation of the protective shell will not squeeze the water storage tank due to the existence of the interlayer. At the same time, the fixing block is also hollow and can also crumple after being impacted, thereby further improving the safety protection effect of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a low-level emergency water tank safety protection mechanism, including a protective shell 1, a water storage tank 2 disposed in the middle of the inner side of the protective shell 1, and a detection mechanism for detecting leakage disposed between the protective shell 1 and the water storage tank 2. The detection mechanism includes an inflation valve 3, a sandwich 4, and an air pressure detection device 5. An inflation valve 3 is fixedly disposed on one side of the protective shell 1, a sandwich 4 is disposed between the protective shell 1 and the water storage tank 2, and an air pressure detection device 5 is fixedly disposed at the upper end of the inner side of the protective shell 1. It should be noted that the inflation valve 3 of this device is a simple one-way valve. Air can be injected into the sandwich 4 through this inflation valve 3, but the air in the sandwich 4 cannot leak out through this inflation valve 3. This is a structure commonly used in vehicle tires in the prior art. It can be opened when high-pressure air is injected into the sandwich 4, but can be automatically sealed when not inflated to prevent the air inside the sandwich 4 from flowing out. However, since the inflation valve 3 is a mature technology in the prior art, this application will not elaborate further.

[0021] A drain pipe 6 is fixedly installed at the lower middle part of the water storage tank, and an inlet pipe 7 is fixedly installed at the upper part of one side of the water storage tank 2. Both the drain pipe 6 and the inlet pipe 7 extend through the protective shell 1 to the outside of the protective shell 1. The drain pipe 6 and the inlet pipe 7 are welded and sealed to the protective shell 1. Water inside the water storage tank can be discharged through the drain pipe 6, while water can be replenished into the water storage tank 2 through the inlet pipe 7.

[0022] Both the drain pipe 6 and the inlet pipe 7 are fixedly equipped with a connecting flange 8 at one end, which allows the drain pipe 6 and the inlet pipe 7 to be easily connected to other pipes via the connecting flange 8.

[0023] A water level sensor 9 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the inside of the water storage tank 2. The water level sensor 9 can monitor the water level inside the water storage tank 2 in real time, so as to conveniently control the amount of water added and discharged. The water level sensor 9 of this device can be, but is not limited to, an ultrasonic water level monitoring device.

[0024] A fixing block 10 is fixedly installed between the water storage tank 2 and the protective shell 1. The fixing block 10 is hollow and can ensure the stability of the water storage tank 2 inside the protective shell 1. At the same time, when an impact occurs, the interlayer 4 of this device can provide a certain amount of crumple space for the protective shell 1. That is to say, when the protective shell 1 is deformed by impact, the deformation of the protective shell 1 will not squeeze the water storage tank due to the existence of the interlayer 4. In addition, the fixing block 10 is also hollow and can also crumple after being impacted, thereby further improving the safety protection effect of the device.

[0025] Each of the four corners of the outer surface of the protective housing 1 is fixedly provided with a column 11, which can provide stable support for the entire device.

[0026] Working Principle: The protective shell 1 of this device provides excellent physical protection for the water inlet pipe 7. During use, air needs to be injected into the interlayer 4 via the inflation valve 3. This inflation device can be as simple as, but is not limited to, an air pump. After air is injected into the interlayer 4, a pressure higher than one atmosphere will be formed. At this time, the air pressure detection device 5 only needs to detect whether there is a sudden change in the air pressure in the interlayer 4. This will indicate whether the protective shell 1 or the water tank 2 is severely damaged, causing a breach. If either the protective shell 1 or the water tank 2 is severely damaged, a breach will occur. If the pressure inside the interlayer 4 is lost, or if the protective shell is severely impacted and collapses, the air pressure inside the interlayer will change significantly. In this case, the air pressure detection device 5 will transmit this detection data to the control terminal, so the staff can know that the device is damaged and needs to be repaired. This will trigger an alarm in time, whether the protective shell 1 or the water tank 2 is damaged. Of course, in most cases, the protective shell 1 will be damaged by the impact. However, if the device is only slightly damaged or dented, the protective shell can still be used, and the air pressure change in the interlayer is not significant, so no alarm will be triggered.

[0027] Furthermore, the stability of the water storage tank 2 inside the protective shell 1 can be ensured by the fixing block 10 during use; at the same time, when an impact occurs, the interlayer 4 of this device can provide a certain amount of crumple space for the protective shell 1. That is to say, when the protective shell 1 is deformed by impact, the deformation of the protective shell 1 will not squeeze the water storage tank due to the existence of the interlayer 4. In addition, the fixing block 10 is also hollow and can also crumple after being impacted, thereby further improving the safety protection effect of the device.

[0028] It should be noted that this device is for emergency use only. In addition to the alarm being triggered when the water level sensor 9 and the air pressure detection device 5 detect abnormal data, safety personnel should also conduct regular inspections.

[0029] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
