Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water tank technology, and in particular to an assembled earthquake-resistant water tank using bolt connections. Background Technology

[0002] Water tanks are classified into six types according to their materials: fiberglass water tanks, stainless steel water tanks, stainless steel-lined fiberglass water tanks, seawater fiberglass water tanks, enamel water tanks, and galvanized steel plate water tanks. Water tanks are generally equipped with HYFI remote-controlled electric level valves, water level monitoring systems, automatic cleaning systems, and self-cleaning sterilizers. The overflow pipe and drain pipe of the water tank are connected after the valve and are equipped with insect screens. The water tank should have two vent pipes at different heights (with insect screens), and internal and external ladders. Water tanks generally have inlet pipes, outlet pipes (domestic water outlet pipe, fire water outlet pipe), overflow pipes, and drain pipes. Water tanks are classified into five types according to their function: domestic water tanks, fire water tanks, industrial water tanks, personal protective water tanks, and household water towers. Strictly speaking, toilet flushing tanks and automotive water tanks are not considered water tanks.

[0003] Existing water tanks have the following shortcomings in use:

[0004] When existing water tanks are used in earthquake-prone areas, they are prone to longitudinal and lateral movement due to the seismic forces during earthquakes. Furthermore, the water tanks are easily deformed during earthquakes, which reduces their lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing water tanks in earthquake-prone areas, such as longitudinal and lateral movement due to seismic forces during earthquakes, and deformation that reduces their lifespan. This invention proposes a bolt-connected, assembled earthquake-resistant water tank.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An assembled earthquake-resistant water tank using bolt connections includes a water tank body and a reinforced concrete base. Multiple reinforced concrete foundation beams are fixedly installed on the top of the reinforced concrete base. The reinforced concrete foundation beams and the reinforced concrete base are an integral structure. A base is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water tank body. The water tank body is equipped with a counteracting mechanism. In the event of an earthquake, the counteracting mechanism can counteract the longitudinal and lateral movement of the water tank during the earthquake.

[0008] To reduce the possibility of deformation of the water tank body, a reinforcement mechanism is also included, which can enhance the strength of the water tank body.

[0009] In one possible design, the offsetting mechanism includes multiple horizontal connecting blocks, which are fixedly connected to the four sides of the water tank main body base. On the side of two adjacent reinforced concrete foundation beams that are close to each other, multiple oblique connecting blocks are fixed by second expansion bolts. One end of the oblique connecting block is welded to the bottom of the water tank main body base. The horizontal connecting block has a through hole, and a first expansion bolt passes through the through hole. The horizontal connecting block is fixed to the reinforced concrete foundation beam by the first expansion bolt.

[0010] In one possible design, the reinforcement mechanism includes a reinforcing member welded to the inner wall of the water tank body, the reinforcing member being formed by welding together multiple vertical and multiple horizontal reinforcing ribs.

[0011] In one possible design, corner protectors are welded to the four corners of the water tank body to further strengthen the body, and the corner protectors are L-shaped.

[0012] In one possible design, the same retaining sleeve is welded to the four corner protectors.

[0013] In one possible design, an inspection pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the water tank body and is connected to it. A cover is fixedly installed at the top of the inspection pipe by bolts. A ladder is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank body to facilitate personnel to reach the top of the water tank body.

[0014] In this application, according to the design requirements, the reinforced concrete foundation and reinforced concrete foundation beams are poured on the selected site. The reinforced concrete foundation and foundation beams should be poured integrally to ensure the integrity and stability of the structure. During the pouring process, the concrete mix ratio and pouring quality must be strictly controlled to ensure the strength and durability of the reinforced concrete foundation and foundation beams. At the same time, holes for installing expansion bolts must be reserved. After pouring, the reinforced concrete foundation and foundation beams are cured. Appropriate curing measures, such as watering and covering with a moisture-retaining film, are taken according to local climate conditions to ensure that the concrete fully hardens and reaches the design strength. The main body of the water tank is lifted to the installation position using hoisting equipment, aligning the base of the main body of the water tank with the reinforced concrete foundation beams. The horizontal connecting blocks are fixed to the reinforced concrete foundation beams using the first expansion bolts and then fixed using the second expansion bolts. Multiple oblique connecting blocks (each oblique connecting block also has through holes for easy installation of the second expansion bolt) are used, and one end of the oblique connecting block is welded to the bottom of the water tank main body base. The oblique connecting blocks can strengthen the connection between the water tank main body and the reinforced concrete foundation beam, further improving the seismic performance of the water tank. In use, the strengthening components can improve the strength and rigidity of the water tank main body, reducing the possibility of deformation of the water tank during an earthquake. The water tank main body base is connected to the reinforced concrete foundation beam through horizontal and oblique connecting blocks, which can offset the longitudinal and lateral movement of the water tank during an earthquake. The corner guards and fixing sleeves can further strengthen the strength of the water tank main body. By strengthening the strength of the water tank main body from the inside and outside, the possibility of deformation is effectively reduced. The number of oblique and horizontal connecting blocks can be increased or decreased according to actual needs.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] In this utility model, the prefabricated earthquake-resistant water tank using bolt connections is fixed to the steel-concrete foundation beam by setting horizontal connecting blocks on the base of the water tank body, and strengthening the connection between the water tank body and the steel-concrete foundation beam by using oblique connecting blocks. During an earthquake, these connecting structures can form a stable whole, significantly offsetting the longitudinal and lateral movement of the water tank during the earthquake. The horizontal connecting blocks and oblique connecting blocks cooperate with each other to disperse and bear the seismic force from different directions, greatly reducing the risk of displacement of the water tank due to earthquake shaking, improving the stability of the water tank in the earthquake environment, ensuring the safety of the water tank and its internal water, and avoiding more serious secondary disasters caused by the movement of the water tank.

[0017] In this utility model, the assembled earthquake-resistant water tank using bolt connections, through the reinforcement components, can disperse the seismic force on the main body of the water tank during an earthquake, reducing stress concentration in the main body of the water tank and thus reducing the possibility of water tank deformation. At the same time, the L-shaped corner protectors welded to the four corners of the main body of the water tank and the same fixing sleeve welded to the four corner protectors further enhance the overall strength of the main body of the water tank, playing a comprehensive strengthening role for the main body of the water tank. The combination of internal and external reinforcement effectively ensures the structural integrity of the water tank during an earthquake and extends the service life of the water tank.

[0018] In this invention, the offsetting mechanism can offset the longitudinal and lateral movement of the water tank during an earthquake. The overall strength of the water tank body is enhanced by the reinforcing members, corner protectors, and fixing sleeves, providing comprehensive reinforcement. The combination of internal and external reinforcement effectively ensures the structural integrity of the water tank during an earthquake and extends its service life. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1-5 An assembled earthquake-resistant water tank using bolt connections is described. It is used in the water tank industry and comprises: a water tank body 1, a reinforced concrete base 3, a counterbalancing mechanism, a reinforcement mechanism, and supporting facilities. The water tank body 1 is the main component for storing water, and a base is fixedly installed at its bottom. The reinforced concrete base 3 is the basic support structure for the entire water tank. Multiple reinforced concrete foundation beams 2 are fixedly installed on its top. The reinforced concrete foundation beams 2 and the reinforced concrete base 3 are an integral structure, cast in one piece, ensuring the integrity and stability of the foundation structure. This allows it to withstand the weight of the water tank body 1 and the water inside, as well as external forces such as earthquakes.

[0028] The offsetting mechanism is used to counteract the longitudinal and lateral movement of the water tank during an earthquake. This mechanism includes multiple horizontal connecting blocks 7 and multiple oblique connecting blocks 8. The multiple horizontal connecting blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the four sides of the base of the water tank body 1, and the connection can be ensured by welding. The horizontal connecting blocks 7 have through holes through which first expansion bolts 10 are inserted, fixing the horizontal connecting blocks 7 to the reinforced concrete foundation beams 2, thus achieving initial horizontal fixation between the water tank body 1 and the reinforced concrete foundation beams 2. Multiple oblique connecting blocks 8 are fixed to the adjacent sides of two adjacent reinforced concrete foundation beams 2 by second expansion bolts. The oblique connecting blocks 8 also have through holes for easy installation of the second expansion bolts. One end of the oblique connecting block 8 is welded to the bottom of the base of the water tank body 1. The oblique tension of the oblique connecting block 8 further strengthens the connection between the water tank body 1 and the reinforced concrete foundation beams 2, effectively offsetting the longitudinal and lateral movement of the water tank during an earthquake.

[0029] The reinforcement mechanism is used to reduce the possibility of deformation of the water tank body 1 and improve its strength. This mechanism includes a reinforcing member 9, which is welded to the inner wall of the water tank body 1. The reinforcing member 9 is formed by welding together multiple vertical tie rods 12 and multiple horizontal tie rods 11. The vertical tie rods 12 and horizontal tie rods 11 are interwoven to form a stable grid structure, which can effectively disperse the seismic force on the water tank body 1, reduce stress concentration, and thus reduce the risk of deformation of the water tank body 1.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] refer to Figure 1-5 Improvements based on Example 1:

[0032] The four corners of the water tank body 1 are welded with L-shaped corner protectors 5 to further strengthen the body. These L-shaped corner protectors 5 enclose the four corners of the water tank body 1, protecting them from damage under earthquakes or other external forces. A single fixing sleeve 4 is welded to each of the four corner protectors 5, connecting them into a single unit and further enhancing the overall strength and stability of the water tank body 1.

[0033] A maintenance pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the water tank body 1 and is connected to it. A cover is fixed to the top of the maintenance pipe by bolts. The maintenance pipe facilitates the inspection, maintenance, and cleaning of the inside of the water tank, while the cover serves to seal and prevent debris from entering the water tank. A ladder 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank body 1 to facilitate personnel access to the top of the water tank body 1. The ladder 6 is made of sturdy materials to ensure the safety of personnel during use.

[0034] The accompanying drawings in this application are for illustrative purposes only. The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
