Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water storage technology, and more specifically, relates to a water storage structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of agricultural modernization, the construction of high-standard farmland has become a core measure to enhance comprehensive agricultural production capacity and ensure national food security. High-standard farmland, as cultivated land characterized by flatness, contiguous areas, complete facilities, supporting farmland, fertile soil, good ecology, strong disaster resistance, and adaptability to modern agricultural production and management methods, ensuring stable and high yields regardless of drought or flood, and designated as permanent basic farmland, bears the important responsibility of promoting high-quality agricultural development.

[0003] In the construction of high-standard farmland, reservoirs are widely used as important water resource storage facilities. Traditional reservoir structures generally only have a simple water storage function, and their water supply is mostly done through direct diversion. The silt and other impurities carried by the water flow will directly enter the reservoir. Over time, these impurities will not only occupy the effective water storage space of the reservoir, reducing its water storage capacity, but also lead to water quality deterioration, affecting its subsequent use.

[0004] During the drainage process of water storage tanks, traditional water storage tank structures lack effective drainage control. Especially in the event of extreme weather such as heavy rainfall, overflow may occur due to excessively high water levels, causing water accumulation or even flooding in the surrounding areas and damaging the surrounding environment and facilities. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water storage tank structure that addresses the problems of impurities such as silt easily entering the water source, leading to reduced water storage space and water quality deterioration; and the potential for overflow and flooding under extreme weather conditions.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: to provide a water storage tank structure, comprising:

[0007] The water storage tank body has a water storage tank formed inside the water storage tank body;

[0008] A water diversion ditch is provided on one side of the water storage tank body. The water diversion ditch is horizontally arranged and connected to the top of the side wall of the water storage tank. A sedimentation tank is provided on the water diversion ditch, and the bottom surface of the sedimentation tank is lower than the bottom surface of the water diversion ditch.

[0009] A drain pipe is provided on the other side of the water storage tank body. The drain pipe is horizontally arranged and connected to the bottom of the side wall of the water storage tank. A drain valve is provided on the drain pipe, and a drainage pool is provided at the end of the drain pipe.

[0010] An overflow pipe is provided on the other side of the water storage tank body. One end of the overflow pipe is connected to the top of the side wall of the water storage tank, and the other end of the overflow pipe is connected to the drainage tank.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the top circumference of the reservoir is provided with a brick railing, and the brick railing is provided with a protective door that rotates outward.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the brickwork railing is provided with multiple railing posts spaced apart, the brickwork railing has an installation notch, and protective posts are provided on both sides of the installation notch, and the protective door is installed between two of the protective posts.

[0013] In one possible implementation, a water intake platform is provided at the bottom of the water storage tank, and a masonry staircase is provided inside the water storage tank. The upper end of the masonry staircase is connected to the upper end of the water storage tank, and the lower end of the masonry staircase is connected to the water intake platform.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the masonry staircase is provided with multiple longitudinal reinforcing bars arranged side by side and multiple transverse reinforcing bars arranged side by side. The longitudinal reinforcing bars are arranged along the length of the masonry staircase, and the transverse reinforcing bars are arranged along the width of the masonry staircase.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the inner wall of the water storage tank is provided with an adhesive layer and a waterproof layer from the inside out.

[0016] In one possible implementation, a valve well is provided on the other side of the water storage tank body, the water discharge pipe passes through the valve well, the water discharge valve is located inside the valve well, and a well cover is provided on the top of the valve well.

[0017] In one possible implementation, through holes are provided on the two opposite side walls of the valve well, and the two drain pipes pass through the two through holes. A compacted layer is provided inside the through holes surrounding the drain pipes.

[0018] In one possible implementation, a support base is provided at the bottom of the valve well, and the drain valve is disposed on the support base.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the water storage tank structure provided by this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the bottom surface of the sedimentation tank above the water diversion ditch is lower than the bottom surface of the water diversion ditch, which reduces the flow velocity of water after it enters the sedimentation tank. Impurities such as silt settle due to gravity, effectively intercepting silt from entering the water storage tank. This not only ensures water quality but also improves the utilization rate of the water storage space and the service life of the water storage tank. The drain pipe is located at the bottom of the side wall of the water storage tank and is equipped with a drain valve, which can flexibly adjust the drainage volume as needed. In the event of extreme weather such as heavy rainfall and excessively high water levels, the overflow pipe automatically diverts excess water from the top of the water storage tank into the drainage tank, preventing overflow and disasters, and enhancing flood control safety. From the perspective of the overall system, the rational layout of the water diversion ditch, drain pipe, and overflow pipe optimizes the water flow path. The components work together to reduce the impact of water flow on the structure, ensuring the stable operation of water storage, drainage, and overflow functions, and improving the reliability of the entire water storage system.

[0029] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0030] Unless otherwise explicitly specified, the use of terms such as "first," "second," or "third" is intended to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0031] Unless otherwise expressly defined, the use of directional terms such as “center,” “lateral,” “longitudinal,” “horizontal,” “vertical,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” “outer,” “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “clockwise,” “counterclockwise,” “high,” and “low” to indicate orientation or positional relationships is based on the orientation and positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. It is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a water storage tank structure. A water storage tank structure includes a water storage tank body 1, a water inlet ditch 3, a water outlet pipe 5, and an overflow pipe 8. The water storage tank body 1 forms a water storage trough 2 inside; the water inlet ditch 3 is located on one side of the water storage tank body 1, horizontally connected to the top of the side wall of the water storage trough 2, and a sedimentation tank 4 is provided on the water inlet ditch 3, the bottom of the sedimentation tank 4 being lower than the bottom of the water inlet ditch 3; the water outlet pipe 5 is located on the other side of the water storage tank body 1, horizontally connected to the bottom of the side wall of the water storage trough 2, a water outlet valve 6 is provided on the water outlet pipe 5, and a drainage tank 7 is provided at the end of the water outlet pipe 5; the overflow pipe 8 is located on the other side of the water storage tank body 1, one end of the overflow pipe 8 is connected to the top of the side wall of the water storage trough 2, and the other end of the overflow pipe 8 is connected to the drainage tank 7.

[0033] This utility model provides a water storage tank structure. Compared with the prior art, the bottom surface of the sedimentation tank 4 above the water diversion ditch 3 is lower than that of the water diversion ditch 3. This reduces the flow velocity of water entering the sedimentation tank 4, causing sediment and other impurities to settle due to gravity. This effectively intercepts sediment from entering the water storage tank 2, ensuring water quality and improving the utilization rate of the water storage space and the service life of the water storage tank. The drain pipe 5 is located at the bottom of the side wall of the water storage tank 2 and is equipped with a drain valve 6, which can flexibly adjust the drainage volume as needed. In the event of extreme weather such as heavy rainfall and excessively high water levels, the overflow pipe 8 automatically diverts excess water from the top of the water storage tank 2 into the drainage tank 7, preventing overflow and disasters, and enhancing flood control safety. From the perspective of the overall system, by rationally arranging the water diversion ditch 3, drain pipe 5, and overflow pipe 8, the water flow path is optimized, and the components work together to reduce the impact of water flow on the structure, ensuring the stable operation of water storage, drainage, and overflow functions, and improving the reliability of the entire water storage system.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The top perimeter of the reservoir is equipped with a brick-built guardrail 9, which effectively prevents personnel from accidentally falling into the reservoir, greatly improving the safety of the area around the reservoir and avoiding accidents caused by falls. At the same time, the brick structure is sturdy and durable, offering stronger impact resistance and weather resistance compared to some lightweight guardrails, ensuring long-term stable protection and reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency. The brick guardrail 9 is equipped with an outward-opening protective door 10, which, while ensuring safety, facilitates daily inspection, maintenance, and equipment installation and commissioning of the reservoir. Workers can enter the work area on top of the reservoir by opening the protective door 10. The outward-opening design of the protective door 10 avoids occupying the limited operating space on top of the reservoir when the door is opened inward, allowing for greater freedom of movement and preventing accidental falls into the reservoir when the door is opened inward.

[0035] Specifically, the brickwork railing 9 is equipped with multiple railing posts 11 at intervals, which significantly enhances the overall structural stability of the railing 9. These railing posts 11 form multiple support points, evenly distributed on the railing, effectively dispersing external forces. Whether leaned against by personnel or subjected to accidental impact, the railing is not prone to deformation or collapse, further ensuring the safety protection performance around the reservoir. The brickwork railing 9 has an installation notch, with protective brick posts 12 on both sides of the notch, and a protective door 10 installed between two protective brick posts 12. Compared to installing the protective door 10 on a regular railing surface, the combination of the installation notch and protective brick posts 12 makes the installation of the protective door 10 more convenient and accurate, reducing errors and adjustment steps during installation and improving installation efficiency. Moreover, the protective door 10 is installed between two protective brick posts 12, with the brick posts on both sides providing reliable support and restraint for the protective door 10, effectively enhancing the stability of the protective door 10, preventing it from shaking or shifting during use, and ensuring the safety of personnel entering and exiting.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A water intake platform 13 is installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 2. When water needs to be drawn from the bottom of the water storage tank 2, the water intake platform 13 can serve as a platform for equipment installation and personnel operation, avoiding the instability caused by placing equipment directly on the uneven bottom of the water storage tank 2. It also allows staff to easily inspect and adjust the water intake equipment, ensuring water intake efficiency and quality. A masonry staircase 14 is installed inside the water storage tank 2. The upper end of the masonry staircase 14 is connected to the upper end of the water storage tank 2, and the lower end is connected to the water intake platform 13. During routine maintenance, repair, or cleaning of the water storage tank, staff can enter and exit the water storage tank 2 via the masonry staircase 14. Compared to climbing or using simple tools, this greatly reduces the risk of falls and ensures the safety of staff. At the same time, the sturdy masonry staircase 14 also facilitates the carrying of tools and equipment, improving work efficiency.

[0037] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The masonry staircase 14 is embedded with multiple parallel longitudinal reinforcing bars 15 and multiple parallel transverse reinforcing bars 16. The longitudinal reinforcing bars 15 are arranged along the length of the masonry staircase 14, and the transverse reinforcing bars 16 are arranged along the width of the masonry staircase 14. This crisscrossing layout forms a stable steel reinforcement framework, greatly improving the structural strength of the staircase. The longitudinal reinforcing bars 15, arranged along the length of the masonry staircase 14, can effectively resist tensile and shear forces along the length of the staircase caused by personnel walking and equipment handling, preventing longitudinal cracks or fractures in the staircase. The transverse reinforcing bars 16, arranged along the width, enhance the staircase's ability to resist lateral forces, preventing lateral deformation or displacement of the staircase under stress, making the entire staircase structure more stable and reliable.

[0038] Preferably, the inner wall of the water storage tank 2 is provided with an adhesive layer and a waterproof layer from the inside out. The adhesive layer is formed by a polymer cementitious adhesive, and the waterproof layer is laid with polyethylene polypropylene waterproof membrane. The adhesive layer on the inner wall of the water storage tank 2, formed by a polymer cementitious adhesive, has excellent bonding performance and can firmly adhere to the base layer of the inner wall of the water storage tank 2. At the same time, it is tightly bonded to the outer polyethylene polypropylene waterproof membrane, effectively preventing the waterproof layer from blistering or falling off, and ensuring the integrity and stability of the waterproof system. This adhesive layer also has good flexibility and crack resistance, and can adapt to the slight deformation of the water storage tank 2 caused by factors such as temperature changes and foundation settlement, preventing cracks and providing a reliable foundation for the waterproof layer. The waterproof layer laid with polyethylene polypropylene waterproof membrane has excellent waterproof performance. Its dense structure can effectively block water molecule penetration, significantly reducing the risk of water seepage in the water storage tank 2 and ensuring water storage safety. This waterproof membrane boasts strong water resistance, maintaining stable waterproofing performance even in humid environments for extended periods. Its chemical stability prevents reactions with water and its constituent chemicals, thus avoiding water pollution. Furthermore, the polyethylene-polypropylene waterproof membrane is easy to install. When used in conjunction with the adhesive layer, it forms a continuous, seamless waterproof membrane, fully covering the inner wall of the water storage tank 2, eliminating dead zones and significantly enhancing its waterproofing capability and lifespan. This reduces maintenance costs and water waste caused by leaks. The synergistic effect of the adhesive and waterproof layers creates a robust and reliable waterproof barrier for the water storage tank 2, ensuring its normal operation and effective water storage.

[0039] Please see Figure 7 On the other side of the reservoir body 1, a valve well 19 is also provided. A drain pipe 5 passes through the valve well 19, and a drain valve 6 is located inside the valve well 19, providing a good protective barrier for the drain valve 6. The valve well 19 effectively isolates the drain valve 6 from the external environment, preventing it from being exposed to sunlight, rain, wind and sand erosion, and human damage. This prevents the drain valve 6 components from rusting, aging, or being damaged due to environmental factors, extending the service life of the drain valve 6 and reducing the frequency of failures caused by component damage. A manhole cover 20 is installed on the top of the valve well 19, which greatly improves the convenience and safety of operation while ensuring the safety of the drain valve 6. Workers can easily enter the valve well 19 by opening the manhole cover 20 to open, close, adjust, and maintain the drain valve 6, without having to operate directly in the complex environment surrounding the reservoir, reducing operational difficulty and safety risks. At the same time, the manhole cover 20 prevents unauthorized personnel from touching the drain valve 6, avoiding problems such as water waste and uncontrolled drainage caused by misoperation, ensuring the stable operation of the reservoir's drainage system.

[0040] Specifically, through holes are provided on the two opposite side walls of valve well 19, and two drain pipes 5 pass through the two through holes. A compacted layer 21 is installed around the drain pipes 5 inside the through holes. The compacted layer 21 is made of C25 cast-in-place concrete. The C25 cast-in-place concrete compacted layer 21 has high strength and density. When poured between the drain pipe 5 and the through hole, it can tightly wrap the drain pipe 5, making it firmly connected to the structure of valve well 19. It effectively disperses the force generated by the water flow pressure during the water flow process, preventing the drain pipe 5 from shaking or shifting, and ensuring the stable operation of the drainage system. At the same time, the compacted layer 21 fits tightly with the drain pipe 5 and the through hole wall, eliminating gaps and forming a good waterproof seal. This prevents rainwater and groundwater from seeping into the valve well 19, preventing damage to the drain valve 6 and other equipment due to water accumulation, and also preventing sewage from seeping out of the well and polluting the surrounding soil and groundwater environment.

[0041] Preferably, a support base 22 is provided at the bottom of the valve well 19, and the drain valve 6 is disposed on the support base 22. By increasing the force-bearing area, the support base 22 can more evenly distribute the weight of the drain valve 6 and its connecting pipes, as well as the pressure generated by the water flow, effectively preventing the drain valve 6 from tilting or deforming due to uneven force, ensuring the precise matching and normal opening and closing of the valve components, and extending the service life of the drain valve 6.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
