Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water storage device technology, specifically a water storage module. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the water tanks in RVs or travel vehicles are large, single-unit tanks fixed under the chassis. The tank connects to an external faucet via an outlet pipe. This fixed structure makes it difficult to adjust the water capacity as needed. Water is typically added via a hose or by filling a bucket. This filling method is relatively cumbersome. When the RV is in motion, the tank needs a surge protection structure to prevent surges from affecting driving safety. Because it's fixed to the vehicle body, it's difficult to disassemble and clean the interior, making it prone to bacterial and algae growth. Furthermore, the tank is susceptible to freezing in low temperatures outside the vehicle and when the vehicle is parked and occupied. Utility Model Content

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a water storage module.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water storage module, comprising a water storage component and a limiting component. The water storage component includes a water tank, a tank cover, and a water outlet pipe. The water tank is provided with a tank cover, and the tank cover is also provided with a water outlet pipe and a vent hole. The vent hole is located around the water outlet pipe. The limiting component includes a fixing seat, a pressure plate, and a restraining member. The fixing seat has symmetrically arranged grooves on its front and rear sides for supporting the water tank. The pressure plate is located above the fixing seat and has a through hole adapted to the tank cover. The fixing seat is also provided with a restraining member that presses down on the pressure plate.

[0007] To facilitate further positioning of the water tank, this utility model is improved by providing a fixing protrusion in the middle part of the fixing base and a slot that matches the fixing protrusion in the lower part of the water tank.

[0008] Preferably, the restraint component includes a pre-tensioning strap and a strap pretensioner. The pre-tensioning strap is U-shaped, with its two free ends passing through the fixing seat and the pressure plate. The middle portion of the pre-tensioning strap is located below the fixing seat, and the two free ends of the pre-tensioning strap are connected by the strap pretensioner, which is located above the pressure plate.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to provide protection for the water tank, the present invention is improved by providing symmetrical protective baffles on the front and rear sides of the fixing base, and the corresponding grooves are arranged between the corresponding protective baffles and the fixing protrusions.

[0010] Preferably, the groove is further provided with several sets of anti-slip protrusions.

[0011] Preferably, the lid of the box is also provided with a handle.

[0012] Preferably, the water outlet pipe is inverted L-shaped, and an anti-detachment ring is provided at the horizontal end of the water outlet pipe.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting base has several sets of screw fixing holes below it.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a water storage module with the following advantages:

[0016] The water storage module has a groove on the mounting base that fits snugly against the bottom of the water tank. The anti-slip protrusions in the groove increase friction and prevent the water tank from sliding laterally. The fixing protrusion in the middle of the mounting base engages with the slot on the bottom of the water tank to further limit the longitudinal displacement of the water tank.

[0017] The pressure plate is tightly pressed onto the tank cover by the restraints (pre-tightening straps + strap pre-tighteners). The U-shaped pre-tightening straps are wrapped around the bottom of the fixing seat and tightened at both ends by the strap pre-tighteners to form a "clamping" fixing force. Combined with the lateral blocking of the protective baffle, the water tank will not shake or fall off even if the vehicle is violently bumped.

[0018] The screw holes under the mounting base allow the entire module to be securely installed in any location inside the vehicle (such as the trunk or side wall of the passenger compartment), adapting to the layout requirements of different vehicle models.

[0019] The water storage module can be increased in number as needed to ensure daily needs. The device can be used with a water pump and connecting pipe. The connecting pipe is external and can be plugged into the outlet pipe with anti-detachment ring to complete the water circuit construction. It is convenient to understand the status of the connecting pipe and to replace it. The water tank is suitable for home, highway service area, community drinking water machine and other scenarios.

[0020] The water tank and connecting pipes are easy to clean, and individual components are replaceable, resulting in low maintenance costs.

[0021] No surge impact is generated;

[0022] The water tank is easy to observe and handle while the vehicle is in motion or occupied, and it is not prone to freezing. Attached Figure Description

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-4 A water storage module includes a water storage component and a limiting component. The water storage component includes a water tank 1, a tank cover 2, and a water outlet pipe 3. The water tank 1 is provided with the tank cover 2, and the tank cover 2 is also provided with the water outlet pipe 3 and a vent hole 4. The vent hole 4 is located around the water outlet pipe 3. The limiting component includes a fixing seat 5, a pressure plate 6, and a restraining member. The fixing seat 5 is symmetrically provided with grooves on its front and rear sides to support the water tank 1. The pressure plate 6 is located above the fixing seat 5 and is provided with a through hole that matches the tank cover 2. The fixing seat 5 is also provided with a restraining member that presses down on the pressure plate 6.

[0030] Water tank 1 is used to store clean water. The lid 2 is tightly fitted to the water tank 1 via a sealing structure (such as a sealing ring, not shown) to prevent leakage. The handle 12 on the lid 2 facilitates easy access to the water tank 1. When water needs to be added, simply open the lid 2 to add water directly; operation is simple. The vent 4 on the lid 2 is located around the outlet pipe 3. When the water tank 1 supplies water, the vent 4 allows air to enter the water tank 1 in real time, balancing the internal and external air pressure and preventing water flow interruption due to internal negative pressure, ensuring smooth water flow (especially when the water level in the tank 1 is low). The outlet pipe 3 is designed in an inverted L-shape, with an anti-detachment ring 13 at the horizontal end for connecting to external pipes (such as the inlet pipe of a water pump or directly to a faucet). It is fixed by a plug-in connection, ensuring unobstructed water flow and convenient quick assembly and disassembly. If used with a water pump, the water in the water tank 1 can be pressurized and output to the faucet using the pump's pressure to meet water needs for washing, rinsing, and washing vegetables.

[0031] The grooves on the front and rear sides of the mounting base 5 are used to support the water tank 1. The anti-slip protrusions 11 in the grooves increase the friction between the bottom of the water tank 1 and the grooves, preventing the water tank 1 from sliding laterally. The fixing protrusion 7 in the middle of the mounting base 5 engages with the slot at the bottom of the water tank 1, further restricting the longitudinal displacement of the water tank 1 (such as the back-and-forth swaying when the vehicle accelerates or brakes).

[0032] The pressure plate 6 covers the top of the tank cover 2 of the water tank 1. The through hole on the pressure plate 6 is adapted to the shape of the tank cover 2, ensuring that the pressure plate 6 only applies force to the edge of the tank cover 2 without blocking the water outlet pipe 3 and the vent hole 4. The restraint component (pre-tightening strap 8 + strap pre-tightening device 9) is arranged in a U-shape: after the two ends of the pre-tightening strap 8 pass through the fixing seat 5 and the pressure plate 6, it is tightened by the strap pre-tightening device 9, generating downward pressure, pressing the pressure plate 6 tightly onto the tank cover 2, forming a "clamping" fixing effect to prevent the water tank 1 from bouncing up and down;

[0033] The protective baffles 10 on the front and rear sides of the fixed seat 5 are located outside the groove, which can prevent the water tank 1 from shifting laterally when the vehicle turns or tilts. Together with the groove and the fixed protrusion 7, they form a "three-dimensional limit". Even under complex road conditions, they can prevent surge and keep the water tank 1 stable.

[0034] The external pipeline adopts an external design and is connected to the anti-detachment ring 13 of the water outlet pipe 3. When impurities adhere to the inner wall of the pipeline, the pipeline can be directly pulled out for flushing or replacement without disassembling the water tank 1.

[0035] Water tank 1 is an independent unit, and the interior can be cleaned directly after opening the tank cover 2; if the water outlet pipe 3 is blocked, the tank cover 2 can be replaced separately (with the new water pipe), which has low maintenance costs and solves the pain point of "difficulty in cleaning" of traditional fixed water tank 1.

[0036] The screw mounting holes 14 below the mounting base 5 allow the entire module to be installed in any location on the RV or travel vehicle (such as the side wall of the trunk or the bottom of the vehicle) using bolts, adapting to the layout requirements of different vehicle models. After installation, the module has a compact overall structure, does not take up too much space, and each component can be disassembled and installed independently, facilitating future maintenance or upgrades.

[0037] Depending on the needs, several sets of water storage modules consisting of water storage components and limiting components can be installed side by side to ensure water storage requirements.
