Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of drinking water storage equipment, specifically to a drinking water antibacterial storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] A search revealed Chinese patent application number CN202222085959.2, which discloses a raw water antibacterial storage tank for drinking purified water. The tank includes a tank body, a motor mounted on the bottom surface of the tank body, and a rotating rod fixedly connected to the output end of the motor through the bottom surface of the tank body. The rotating rod has connecting blocks, and connecting plates are provided between the connecting blocks. This invention uses a motor to drive the rotating rod to rotate, causing the connecting plates between the connecting blocks on the rotating rod to rotate. Through the cooperation of a limiting rod and a spring, a cleaning brush at one end of the limiting rod can be rotated. The cleaning brush effectively cleans impurities and dirt from the inner wall of the tank, preventing dirt and impurities from remaining on the inner wall and facilitating cleaning for subsequent use. The cooperation of the limiting rod and spring effectively increases the pressure between the cleaning brush and the inner wall of the tank, thus facilitating the cleaning of dirt and improving the cleaning effect.

[0003] However, the above solution still has drawbacks. Using an installation frame to install the activated carbon rods imposes strict requirements on the length of the rods. The fragility of the activated carbon rods often leads to breakage during movement, resulting in insufficient length and waste. In addition, using a cleaning brush to clean the inner wall of the tank cannot clean the upper and lower surfaces of the inner cavity, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Furthermore, when the lower surface of the UV germicidal lamp becomes contaminated with dust, the sterilization effect deteriorates, leading to a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 This application provides a technical solution: a drinking water antibacterial storage tank, including a tank body 110, a support column 140, a motor 150, a connecting shaft 180, a water inlet pipe 193, a spacing adjustment mechanism 190, and a cleaning mechanism 191. The upper end of the support column 140 is fixed to the lower surface of the tank body 110, the motor 150 is fixed to the lower surface of the tank body 110, the upper end of the output shaft of the motor 150 and the lower end of the connecting shaft 180 are fixed together, the upper end of the connecting shaft 180 is rotatably disposed inside the tank body 110, the water inlet pipe 193 is disposed on the tank body 110, and a movable plate 1 is also included. 20. The movable plate 120 is installed on the tank body 110. The movable plate 120 is provided with a scale 130. It also includes a drain pipe 160 and a valve 170. The drain pipe 160 is installed on the tank body 110, and the valve 170 is installed on the drain pipe 160. It also includes an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 192. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 192 is installed inside the tank body 110. There are several ultraviolet germicidal lamps 192. The lower surface of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 192 and the lower surface of the inner cavity of the tank body 110 are on the same plane, which facilitates the scraper 1913 to clean the lower surface of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 192.

[0027] The spacing adjustment mechanism 190 is installed on the connecting shaft 180. The spacing adjustment mechanism 190 is used to install activated carbon rods 1902 of different lengths. The spacing adjustment mechanism 190 includes a first retaining sleeve 1901, an activated carbon rod 1902, a second retaining sleeve 1903, a slide rail 1904, an ear plate 1905, and a locking member 1906. The first retaining sleeve 1901 and the slide rail 1904 are both fixed on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 180. The second retaining sleeve 1903 is slidably disposed on the slide rail 1904. The activated carbon rod 1902 is inserted between the first retaining sleeve 1901 and the second retaining sleeve 1903. The ear plate 1905 is fixed on the upper surface of the second retaining sleeve 1903. The locking member 1906 is threaded through the ear plate 1905. In this embodiment, the locking member 1906 is a bolt.

[0028] The cleaning mechanism 191 is installed on the connecting shaft 180. The cleaning mechanism 191 is configured to clean the inner wall of the tank 110. The cleaning mechanism 191 includes a frame 1911, a guide rod 1912, a scraper 1913, and a spring 1914. The frame 1911 is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 180. The guide rod 1912 slides through the frame 1911. One end of the guide rod 1912 and one end of the spring 1914 are both fixed to the outer wall of the scraper 1913. The other end of the spring 1914 is fixed to the outer wall of the frame 1911. The guide rod 1912 passes through the spring 1914. The cleaning mechanism 1911 also includes a limiting plate 1915. The limiting plate 1915 is fixed to the other end of the guide rod 1912. The limiting plate 1915 effectively prevents the guide rod 1912 from running out of the frame 1911.

[0029] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows: In use, open the movable plate 120, insert the lower end of the activated carbon rod 1902 into the first retaining sleeve 1901, then move the second retaining sleeve 1903 so that it fits onto the upper end of the activated carbon rod 1902. Hold the second retaining sleeve 1903 and rotate the locking member 1906. The end of the locking member 1906 presses against the outer wall of the slide rail 1904, fixing the second retaining sleeve 1903 onto the slide rail 1904, thus facilitating the installation of activated carbon rods 1902 of different lengths. Then, reinstall the movable plate 120. Next, operate the controller on the tank 110. The controller controls the motor 150 and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 192. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 150 drives the connecting shaft 180 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 180 achieves the rotation of the activated carbon rod 1902 and the frame 1911, which is controlled by the guide rod. The combined use of scraper 1913 and spring 1914, along with scraper 1913, cleans the inner wall of tank 110 and the lower surface of UV germicidal lamp 192, preventing dirt and impurities from remaining on these surfaces and facilitating subsequent use. The UV germicidal lamp 192 effectively sterilizes the drinking water in tank 110, while activated carbon rod 1902 effectively adsorbs impurities in the water, preventing bacterial growth. This antibacterial drinking water storage tank allows for the installation of activated carbon rods 1902 of varying lengths, avoiding waste. Furthermore, the scraper 1913 cleans the inner wall of tank 110 and the lower surface of UV germicidal lamp 192, ensuring the effectiveness of the UV germicidal lamp and providing a better user experience.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of this utility model should still fall within the scope of this patent.
