Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water tank technology, and in particular to an environmentally friendly and energy-saving cylindrical insulated water tank. Background Technology
[0002] A cylindrical insulated water tank uses polyurethane foam as the inner insulation medium and stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, or color steel plate as the outer layer. The tank's insulation uses stainless steel or color steel plate as the outer layer and polyurethane as the core layer. Through optimized combination, the inner and outer layers achieve the best insulation effect. Chinese utility model patent, authorized announcement number "CN215323956U", discloses an environmentally friendly and energy-saving cylindrical insulated water tank. This tank, through the installation of a sleeve, buffer rod, baffle, first spring, and buffer plate, provides buffer protection, reducing water pressure during injection, reducing water impact, protecting the inner tank wall, minimizing economic losses, and extending service life.
[0003] While the above-mentioned technical solution can impede water flow under the action of two first springs, the springs are prone to fatigue damage under prolonged water flow impact and repeated expansion and contraction, thus affecting their service life and buffering effect. Furthermore, over time, the springs may lose their original elasticity, causing a single buffer plate to be unable to effectively impede water flow. When a single buffer plate is in use, its kinetic energy increases accordingly when the water flow speed is high, which means that the water flow has stronger impact and penetrating force. According to Bernoulli's equation, the increase in flow velocity is accompanied by a decrease in pressure. However, at the point of impact, this kinetic energy will be rapidly converted into pressure energy, resulting in extremely high local pressure and a low service life of the buffer plate. Therefore, we propose an environmentally friendly and energy-saving cylindrical insulated water tank. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide an environmentally friendly and energy-saving cylindrical insulated water tank. This addresses the issue that while a buffer plate can obstruct water flow under the action of two first springs, the springs are prone to fatigue damage under prolonged water flow impact and repeated expansion and contraction, thus affecting their service life and buffering effect. Furthermore, over time, the springs may lose their original elasticity, causing a single buffer plate to be unable to effectively obstruct water flow. When a single buffer plate is in use, its kinetic energy increases accordingly when the water flow speed is high, meaning the water flow has stronger impact and penetrating force. According to Bernoulli's equation, an increase in flow velocity is accompanied by a decrease in pressure, but at the point of impact, this kinetic energy is rapidly converted into pressure energy, resulting in extremely high local pressure and a short service life for the buffer plate.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an environmentally friendly and energy-saving cylindrical insulated water tank, comprising:
[0006] Two support bases and an insulated water tank body, with the insulated water tank body fixedly installed inside the two support bases;

The three mounting brackets are all fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inlet pipe, and the bottom of the three mounting brackets is fixedly connected to the anti-impact plate. The top of the anti-impact plate has multiple flow guide grooves. A sealing gasket is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the inlet pipe, and the bottom of the sealing gasket is in contact with the outer surface of the insulated water tank body.
[0009] Preferably, the water flow buffer structure further includes multiple first blades, multiple second blades, a rotating shaft, and a limiting ring.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an environmentally friendly and energy-saving cylindrical insulated water tank, comprising:
[0028] Two support bases 2 and an insulated water tank body 1, with the insulated water tank body 1 fixedly installed inside the two support bases 2;
[0029] A water flow buffer structure is located inside the insulated water tank body 1.
[0030] The water flow buffer structure includes an inlet pipe 5, a fixed pipe bracket 6, three mounting brackets 8, and an anti-impact plate 9. The fixed pipe bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the inside of the insulated water tank body 1. The inlet pipe 5 is fixedly installed inside the fixed pipe bracket 6, and the top of the inlet pipe 5 extends to the outside of the insulated water tank body 1. The three mounting brackets 8 are all fixedly connected to the outer surface of the inlet pipe 5. The three mounting brackets 8 are all "L" shaped structures. The bottom of the three mounting brackets 8 is fixedly connected to the anti-impact plate 9. The top of the anti-impact plate 9 has multiple flow guide grooves 12. A sealing gasket 16 is fixedly fitted onto the outer surface of the inlet pipe 5. The bottom of the sealing gasket 16 is in contact with the outer surface of the insulated water tank body 1.
[0031] The water flow buffer structure also includes multiple first blades 7, multiple second blades 10, a rotating shaft 11, and a limiting ring 15. The limiting ring 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the anti-impact plate 9, and the rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the top of the anti-impact plate 9. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 11 rotatably passes through the anti-impact plate 9 and is rotatably connected to the inside of the limiting ring 15. The multiple first blades 7 and multiple second blades 10 are all fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 11. The multiple first blades 7 and multiple second blades 10 are arranged in a circular equidistant array.
[0032] A stabilizing ring 13 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 11, and three fixing plates 14 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the stabilizing ring 13. All three fixing plates 14 are fixedly connected to the corresponding mounting brackets 8.
[0033] A drain pipe 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the insulated water tank body 1. The drain pipe 3 is connected to the interior of the insulated water tank body 1. A drain valve is installed on the drain pipe 3. A pressure relief valve 4 is fixedly installed on the insulated water tank body 1. A pressure gauge is installed on the pressure relief valve 4.
[0034] Furthermore, when using this device, an external water supply source is connected to the top of the inlet pipe 5, facilitating the discharge of hot water into the insulated water tank body 1. When hot water is discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the inlet pipe 5, it first contacts multiple first blades 7. The impact of the hot water on the multiple first blades 7 and multiple second blades 10 drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate, allowing the multiple first blades 7 and multiple second blades 10 to rotate around the rotating shaft 11 as the center point. When the water flow impacts the first blade 7, the first blade 7 is subjected to a force perpendicular to its surface, which pushes it to rotate. The angle and shape of the first blade 7 are set according to the drainage configuration of the inlet pipe 5. This force of water flow impact can be largely converted into rotational torque, rather than a simple impact force. The rotation of the first blade 7 can effectively "absorb" or "counteract" part of the impact force of the water flow. Multiple second blades 10 are located below multiple first blades 7, and multiple second blades 10 are staggered with multiple first blades 7 on the rotating shaft 11. Thus, the water flow remaining after being converted by multiple first blades 7 will be converted by multiple second blades 10. The stabilizing ring 13 and the three fixed plates 14 can maintain the stability of the rotating shaft 11 when it rotates, so that the hot water in contact with the anti-impact plate 9 will be guided and diverted by multiple guide grooves 12 opened on the anti-impact plate 9. When the air pressure in the heat-insulating water tank body 1 is too high, the pressure relief and exhaust valve 4 can discharge the excessive air pressure in the heat-insulating water tank body 1. By turning the drain valve on the drain pipe 3, the hot water in the heat-insulating water tank body 1 can be discharged.
[0035] With the cooperation of the mounting frame 8, anti-impact plate 9, first blade 7, second blade 10 and rotating shaft 11, the multiple first blades 7 and multiple second blades 10 can convert or divert the impacting water flow. The two sets of blades are arranged alternately at a specific angle and spacing. When the water flow passes through, it is first divided and guided to different directions by the multiple first blades 7, and then further dispersed and slowed down by the multiple second blades 10. This can effectively reduce the speed of the water flow when it rushes out. Moreover, the water flow buffer relies on a simple mechanical structure, which further improves the service life of the water flow buffer structure.
