Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic water tank technology, and in particular to a plastic water tank with adjustable water flow. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life and industrial production, plastic water tanks are widely used in household water storage, agricultural irrigation, and industrial cooling due to their advantages such as low cost, lightweight, and strong corrosion resistance. However, existing ordinary plastic water tanks generally suffer from limited water flow control functions, with their outlets typically using a fixed diameter design, making it difficult to adjust the water flow according to actual usage needs.

[0003] In home settings, users utilize water tanks for daily cleaning. Fine-tune tasks like washing dishes and wiping furniture require a smaller water flow to avoid splashing; however, rinsing floors and watering large areas of greenery demand a larger flow for efficiency. Water tanks with a fixed flow rate cannot meet these diverse needs. In agricultural irrigation, different crops have varying water requirements. Seedlings require precise irrigation with small volumes and low pressure, while mature crops need rapid irrigation with larger volumes. Traditional plastic water tanks struggle to meet these precision requirements, potentially leading to water waste or insufficient irrigation. In industrial applications, the required cooling water flow varies with operating conditions in some production processes. Water tanks with a fixed flow rate cannot adapt to complex production needs, impacting equipment efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] This utility model provides a plastic water tank with adjustable water flow, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This adjustable water tank, through its flow regulation mechanism, first uses a flow meter installed on the flow pipe to detect the water flow in real time. If the water flow is too large or too small, the PLC controller on the surface of the solenoid valve activates the solenoid valve, controlling its opening and closing within the flow pipe to regulate the water flow. This achieves intelligent and automated management of the tank's operation, further improving water resource utilization efficiency and making it suitable for various usage scenarios.

[0017] 2. This adjustable water flow plastic water tank, through the settings of the water level detection mechanism and PLC control console, features a level gauge installed on the top of the tank body. The detection probe at the bottom of the level gauge can detect the water level inside the tank in real time. If the water level is lower than the preset value, the level gauge transmits a signal to the PLC control console, which then controls the alarm light to sound an alarm. This achieves the effect of intelligent water level detection and timely reminder to staff to replenish the water source, avoiding insufficient water supply that could affect the normal operation of the equipment.
