Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ribless water tank technology, and more specifically, to a ribless water tank edge sealing structure. Background Technology
[0002] Stainless steel water tanks are water storage containers made of stainless steel and are widely used in homes, industries, construction, and fire protection. They are characterized by corrosion resistance, hygiene, safety, and long service life, making them an ideal replacement for traditional water tanks (such as cement tanks and fiberglass tanks).
[0003] A search revealed that CN214493742U discloses an embedded, unreinforced water tank. This tank utilizes a structure including a second vertical support, connecting ribs, a first vertical support, and side templates. During assembly of the water tank (as shown in the attached diagram),... Figure 4 The process involves assembling and welding multiple sets of side templates A, then inserting a second vertical support B into the outer side of the adjacent side template A, followed by inserting multiple connecting ribs C into the outer side of the second vertical support B, and finally welding the side templates, the second vertical support, and the connecting ribs together to reinforce the water tank. This makes it difficult to disassemble the second vertical support, connecting ribs, and other components, making maintenance and replacement of these components inconvenient.
[0004] In view of this, we propose a rib-free water tank sealing structure. Utility Model Content

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0027] A ribless water tank sealing structure includes a water tank body 1, which is composed of multiple sets of water tank side plates 2 spliced together. A sealing block 3 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the water tank side plate 2. The sealing block 3 penetrates the water tank side plate 2 and extends to the outer side. A connecting rib 4 is provided on the outer side of the water tank side plate 2. A through hole 5 is provided on the outer side of both the sealing block 3 and the connecting rib 4. A connecting rod 6 is inserted into the inner side of the through hole 5. Two sets of threaded surfaces 7 are provided on the outer side of the connecting rod 6. Nuts 8 are threaded on the outer side of both sets of threaded surfaces 7.
[0028] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Compared to existing technologies that use welding to fix the connecting ribs, this application uses a nut locking method to fix the connecting rib 4. On the one hand, it can quickly position the connecting rib 4, thereby facilitating the welding and fixing of the sealing block 3 and improving the assembly efficiency of the water tank side plate 2. On the other hand, the connecting rib 4 can clamp the sealing block 3, improving the connection precision of the sealing block 3. In addition, when it is necessary to disassemble the connecting rib 4 in the future, it is only necessary to remove the nut 8 to quickly disassemble the connecting rib 4, thereby facilitating the inspection and replacement of the connecting rib 4.
[0029] Specifically, the water tank side plate 2 and the sealing block 3 are connected by welding.
[0030] refer to Figure 2 The welding connection between the water tank side plate 2 and the sealing block 3 ensures the stability and sealing of the connection. At the same time, the support and reinforcement of the connecting rib 4 ensures the overall strength of the water tank side plate 2.
[0031] Furthermore, the two sets of sealing blocks 3 are connected by welding.
[0032] refer to Figure 2 The sealing block 3 extends from the inner side of the water tank side plate 2. After the two sets of sealing blocks 3 are welded together, the water tank side plate 2 can first form a sealing effect. At the same time, the extended sealing block 3 can increase the welding area, thus requiring more metal to be filled, which can disperse stress and improve the load-bearing capacity. It is only necessary to avoid defects such as porosity, slag inclusion, and incomplete fusion during the welding process. In addition, the extended sealing block 3 can also be easily positioned and fixed by the connecting rib 4, which facilitates pre-installation and makes it more convenient for workers to weld the sealing block 3, ensuring the tightness and firmness of the welding of the sealing block 3.
[0033] It is worth noting that connecting rib 4 has an inverted U-shaped design.
[0034] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The U-shaped connecting rib 4, while ensuring material strength, increases structural rigidity by effectively dispersing external loads (such as bending, shear or torsional stress) and reducing local deformation, thereby improving the support and reinforcement effect on the side plate 2 of the water tank.
[0035] It is worth noting that a limiting block 9 is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting rib 4, and a limiting groove 10 for docking the limiting block 9 is opened on the outside of the water tank side plate 2.
[0036] refer to Figure 3 When the connecting rib 4 is installed, the limiting block 9 is inserted into the limiting groove 10, which can limit the connecting rib 4, further improve the installation stability of the connecting rib 4, and thus ensure the strength of the connecting rib 4.
[0037] In addition, the sealing block 3 and the connecting rib 4 are both provided with through grooves 11 that are connected to the through hole 5.
[0038] refer to Figure 3 By setting the through slot 11, the connecting rod 6 can be easily inserted into the through hole 5, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the connecting rod 6. At the same time, by tightening the nut 8, the connecting rod 6 can be fixed in the through hole 5, so that the connecting rod 6 will not move out of the through hole 5, ensuring the installation stability of the connecting rod 6.
[0039] Working principle: First, the main body 1 of the water tank is assembled from multiple sets of water tank side plates 2, sealing blocks 3, and connecting ribs 4. After the two sets of sealing blocks 3 are attached, the connecting ribs 4 are inserted into the concave part of the water tank side plate 2. Then, the connecting rod 6 is inserted into the through hole 5. Finally, the nut 8 is screwed into the threaded surface 7 on the outside of the connecting rod 6 to fix the water tank side plate 2, sealing blocks, and connecting ribs 4 together. Then, the two sets of sealing blocks 3 can be welded together to seal. Afterward, by unscrewing the nut 8 from the outside of the threaded surface 7 and then pulling the connecting rod 6 out from the inside of the through hole 5, the connecting ribs 4 can be easily disassembled and replaced.
[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
