Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water tank technology, specifically to a water tank template with good anti-torsion performance. Background Technology
[0002] Existing large-size prefabricated metal plate water tanks typically consist of several rectangular tank templates with their long sides along the longitudinal direction, spliced end-to-end to form tank side panels. These side panels are then joined end-to-end to assemble the prefabricated tank. This structure eliminates the need for connecting adjacent tank modules, ensuring not only precise dimensional accuracy and preventing deformation of the entire tank, but also eliminating the need for auxiliary materials used for transverse seams during connections between adjacent modules. This reduces on-site construction work and significantly shortens the construction cycle of the prefabricated metal plate water tank.
[0003] Currently, templates used for assembling prefabricated metal plate water tanks generally consist of a rectangular main body with a frame that bends to the same side along its outer perimeter. To improve the structural strength of the main body, several X-shaped reinforcing grooves are typically molded at intervals along its longitudinal length. The problem with this type of water tank template is that the overall torsional resistance of the main body is poor. When the water tank is filled with water, the template is prone to localized minor deformations, especially at locations where tie rods are provided. With prolonged use, these minor deformations can easily evolve into torsional deformations of the main body, or even destructive deformations, leading to a decrease in the load-bearing capacity of the prefabricated metal plate water tank. This is particularly problematic in underground pumping stations where the template is subjected to soil pressure, making it more susceptible to large-area concave deformations, posing a safety hazard. Therefore, this invention proposes a water tank template with improved torsional resistance to address these technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the existing technology and provide a water tank template with good anti-torsion performance. By providing a number of X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves at intervals along the longitudinal length of the main body, and providing a number of transverse reinforcing grooves between two adjacent X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves, the X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves and transverse reinforcing grooves complement each other, which significantly improves the stress balance performance, impact resistance and torsional deformation resistance of the water tank template when subjected to external water pressure or buried soil pressure. This solves the problem of local deformation that easily occurs when traditional water tank templates are subjected to water pressure or buried soil pressure, and it still has good stability and safety, especially when used in buried environments. The water tank template is formed by molding and stretching from a single metal plate, and there are no welding joints. It has good corrosion resistance and helps to significantly extend the service life of the metal plate assembled water tank.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is to design a water tank template with good anti-torsion performance, including a main body. The outer periphery of the main body is provided with a frame extending to the same side. The main body is provided with a plurality of X-shaped reinforcing grooves or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves spaced apart along the longitudinal length direction. The main body is also provided with a plurality of transverse reinforcing grooves for separating two adjacent X-shaped reinforcing grooves or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves.
[0006] This utility model discloses a water tank template with good anti-torsion performance. It features several X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves spaced along the longitudinal length of the main body, and several transverse reinforcing grooves between adjacent X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves. This interlacing and complementary reinforcement of the X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves and transverse reinforcing grooves significantly improves the stress balance performance, impact resistance, and torsional deformation resistance of the water tank template under external water pressure or buried soil pressure. This solves the problem of localized deformation that easily occurs in traditional water tank templates under water pressure or buried soil pressure, and maintains excellent stability and safety, especially in buried environments. The water tank template is molded and stretched from a single metal plate, with no welding joints, resulting in good corrosion resistance and significantly extending the service life of the metal plate assembled water tank.
[0007] To further ensure the complementary reinforcement capabilities between two adjacent X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves and the transverse reinforcing groove, a preferred technical solution is that the transverse reinforcing groove consists of at least two parallel grooves spaced apart.
[0008] A further preferred technical solution is that the main body is also provided with a pair of tie rod connecting platforms located between two adjacent transverse reinforcing grooves and a second transverse reinforcing groove for connecting the pair of tie rod connecting platforms. One tie rod connecting platform is located at the left edge of the main body, and the other tie rod connecting platform is located at the right edge of the main body. The pair of tie rod connecting platforms are located between two adjacent transverse reinforcing grooves and are connected by the second transverse reinforcing groove. This allows the tension from the tie rod connector to be promptly distributed to the two adjacent transverse reinforcing grooves when the tie rod connector is installed. This solves the problem of local deformation easily occurring at the tie rod connection position on the water tank template when subjected to external force, further improving the safety of the water tank template during use and helping to extend the service life of the water tank template.
[0009] A further preferred technical solution is that the X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing groove, the first transverse reinforcing groove, the tie rod connecting platform, and the second transverse reinforcing groove are all manufactured using a molding process, and the convex arc surfaces of all four face the side of the main body away from the frame. The grooves on the water tank template are all manufactured using a molding process, which is simple and facilitates assembly line processing of the water tank template. Furthermore, the convex arc surfaces of the grooves all face the side away from the frame, meaning that during use, the convex arc surfaces of the grooves face the inside of the water tank, effectively preventing impurities in the water inside the tank from accumulating inside the grooves, ensuring that the inner wall of the water tank can maintain cleanliness for a long time, and making cleaning efficient and fast.
[0010] A further preferred technical solution is that the cross-section of the main body is an arched structure, and the convex arc side of the arched structure faces the side where the frame is located. When the water tank template of this utility model is assembled into a prefabricated water tank, the convex arc side of the arched structure faces the outside of the water tank, which increases the effective volume inside the water tank to a certain extent, and can effectively distribute the pressure from the water or the buried soil on the frame, thereby significantly improving the pressure resistance of the water tank sidewall.
[0011] A further preferred technical solution is that the corner of the main body is provided with an adsorption gripping platform located on the same side, and the adsorption gripping platform and the frame are located on both sides of the main body. After the water tank template of this utility model is processed and formed on the assembly line, it can be gripped by the suction cups on the robotic arm and adsorbed to the gripping platforms at the four corners of the main body, so as to ensure that the unloading and stacking of the water tank template is convenient and efficient.
[0012] A further preferred technical solution includes a beveled edge that gradually expands outward from the outer periphery of the main body. The outer edge of the beveled edge has a straight edge that extends outward and is perpendicular to the vertical plane of the main body. The beveled edge and the straight edge on the outer periphery of the main body together form the frame. Several mounting holes are spaced along the length of the beveled edge or the straight edge. This ingenious and reasonable frame structure design ensures convenient positioning and efficient assembly when the water tank template of this utility model is assembled and spliced into a water tank side panel.
[0013] A further preferred technical solution is that the angle between the oblique folded edge and the vertical plane where the main body is located is 45°.
[0014] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. This utility model provides a water tank template with good anti-torsion performance. By providing several X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves at intervals along the longitudinal length of the main body, and providing several transverse reinforcing grooves between two adjacent X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves, the X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing grooves and transverse reinforcing grooves complement each other, which significantly improves the stress balance performance, impact resistance, and torsional deformation resistance of the water tank template when subjected to external water pressure or buried soil pressure. This solves the problem of local deformation that easily occurs when traditional water tank templates are subjected to water pressure or buried soil pressure. It still has good stability and safety, especially when used in buried environments. The water tank template is formed by molding and stretching from a single metal plate, with no welding joints. It has good corrosion resistance and helps to significantly extend the service life of the metal plate assembled water tank.
[0016] 2. A pair of tie rod connecting platforms are set between two adjacent transverse reinforcing grooves, and the pair of tie rod connecting platforms are connected by transverse reinforcing grooves. This allows the tension from the tie rod connector to be distributed to the two adjacent transverse reinforcing grooves when the tie rod connecting platform is installed. This solves the problem of local deformation that easily occurs when the tie rod connection position on the water tank template is subjected to external force, further improves the safety of the water tank template in use, and helps to extend the service life of the water tank template.
[0017] 3. The X-shaped or cross-shaped reinforcing groove, the first transverse reinforcing groove, the tie rod connecting platform, and the second transverse reinforcing groove are all manufactured using a molding process, and the convex arc side of all four faces the side of the main body away from the frame. The grooves on the water tank template are all manufactured using a molding process, which is simple and facilitates assembly line processing of the water tank template. Furthermore, the convex arc side of the groove faces away from the frame, meaning that during use, the convex arc side of the groove faces the inside of the water tank, effectively preventing impurities in the water inside the tank from accumulating inside the groove, ensuring that the inner wall of the water tank remains clean for a long time, and making cleaning efficient and fast.
[0018] 4. The main body of the main body has an arched cross-section, and the convex arc side of the arched structure faces the side where the frame is located. When the water tank template of this utility model is assembled into a prefabricated water tank, the convex arc side of the arched structure faces the outside of the water tank, which increases the effective volume inside the water tank to a certain extent. It can also effectively distribute the pressure from the water or the buried soil on the frame, thereby significantly improving the pressure resistance of the water tank sidewall.
[0019] 5. The corner of the main body is provided with an adsorption gripping platform located on the same side, and the adsorption gripping platform and the frame are located on both sides of the main body. After the water tank template of this utility model is processed and formed on the production line, it can be gripped by the suction cups on the robotic arm and adsorbed to the gripping platforms at the four corners of the main body, so as to ensure that the unloading and stacking of the water tank template is convenient and efficient.
