Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water distribution tank technology, specifically a water distribution tank for a water supply system. Background Technology

[0002] In a water supply system, the water distribution tank is used as a water storage and distribution component, which can affect the storage of domestic water in each unit of the water supply system.

[0003] Traditional water supply system distribution tanks mostly adopt an integral structure, which is made into a tank structure with the required volume by welding or integral molding. This results in the fixed specifications and capacity of the integral distribution tank, which cannot be flexibly adjusted according to changes in actual use scenarios. Instead, tanks of different specifications and capacities can only be made according to design requirements for selection. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] This utility model provides a water distribution tank for a water supply system, which solves the problem that the specifications and capacity of an integral water distribution tank are fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to changes in actual use scenarios, and that water tanks of different specifications and capacities can only be made according to design requirements for selection and use.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water distribution tank for a water supply system, comprising several tank units and connecting components. Each pair of adjacent tank units is horizontally or vertically aligned, and each pair of adjacent tank units is connected and fixed by a set of connecting components. Each tank unit includes a tank body, two connecting plates, and four connecting seats. The two connecting plates are respectively formed on the front and rear sides of the tank body, and each connecting plate has at least one positioning groove penetrating its perimeter. The two connecting plates are symmetrically distributed. The four connecting seats are respectively connected and disposed on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the tank body. The connecting components pass through the interconnected positioning grooves in adjacent tank units, and the two ends of the connecting components are adjusted and clamped between adjacent tank units via threads.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a rod that passes through a positioning groove that communicates between two adjacent water tank units. Each end of the rod has at least one threaded post, and each end of the rod is provided with a washer fitted outside the threaded post. Each threaded post is threaded with a nut, and the washer is in contact with the water tank unit by means of adjacent nuts.

[0009] In a further preferred embodiment, the height of the connecting seat located on the outer side of the water tank body is less than the vertical length between the outer edge of the connecting plate and the adjacent side wall of the water tank body. Multiple first protrusions are formed at intervals on the inner side wall of the connecting seat. A sealing ring is inserted between the connecting seats aligned with each other in two adjacent water tank units. Multiple second protrusions are formed on the outer wall of the sealing ring, which are misaligned with the first protrusions in the connecting seat.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A water distribution tank for a water supply system includes several tank units 10, connecting components 20, sealing plugs 30, and sealing rings 40. Each pair of adjacent tank units 10 is horizontally or vertically aligned and connected and fixed together by a set of connecting components 20. Sealing rings 40 are inserted at the communication points between adjacent tank units 10 to seal the communication. Additionally, sealing plugs 30 are inserted at unused openings in each tank unit 10 to seal the openings.

[0021] See Figure 2The water tank unit 10 includes a water tank body 11, two connecting plates 12, multiple reinforcing ribs 13, and four connecting seats 15. The two connecting plates 12 are formed on the front and rear sides of the water tank body 11, respectively. Multiple reinforcing ribs 13 are also formed on the outer wall of the water tank body 11, with each reinforcing rib 13 extending to both ends to connect and fix to the two connecting plates 12. The reinforcing ribs are used to improve the deformation resistance of the water tank body 11 and the two connecting plates 12, and also to increase the stacking contact area when the water tank units 10 are stacked. The four connecting seats 15 are respectively connected to the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the water tank body 11, and each connecting seat 15 is located in the gap between two adjacent reinforcing ribs 13. The height of the connecting seat 15 located on the outer side of the water tank body 11 is less than the vertical length between the outer edge of the connecting plate 12 and the adjacent side wall of the water tank body 11, to avoid the connecting seat 15 affecting the alignment contact of two adjacent water tank units 10. Additionally, the connecting seat 15 is used for connecting the inner cavities of two adjacent water tank units 10. Multiple first protrusions 151 are formed at intervals on the inner sidewall of the connecting seat 15, and multiple second protrusions are formed on the outer wall of the sealing ring 40, which are offset from the first protrusions 151 in the connecting seat 15. Thus, when the sealing ring 40 is inserted into two adjacent connecting seats 15, a labyrinthine sealing structure can be formed through the alternating engagement of the multiple first protrusions 151 and the second protrusions. Furthermore, multiple second protrusions are also formed on the outer wall of the sealing plug 30, which are offset from the first protrusions 151 in the connecting seat 15, so that the sealing plug 30 can also form a labyrinthine sealing structure when inserted into each unconnected connecting seat 15. Each connecting plate 12 has at least one positioning groove 14 that penetrates through the connecting plate 12. The two connecting plates 12 are symmetrically distributed so that the positioning grooves 14 on the two connecting plates 12 can be aligned with each other. The positioning grooves 14 are used to cooperate with the connecting component 20 for fixing. That is, the connecting component 20 passes through the positioning grooves 14 that are connected in two adjacent water tank units 10, and the two adjacent water tank units 10 are clamped by adjusting the threads at both ends of the connecting component 20.

[0022] See Figure 3The connecting assembly 20 includes a rod 21 that passes through a positioning groove 14 that communicates between two adjacent water tank units 10. The cross-sectional shape and size of the rod 21 are adapted to the cross-sectional shape and size of the two communicating positioning grooves 14 after combination, so as to reduce the movement gap between the rod 21 and the positioning groove 14 after insertion. At least one threaded post 22 is formed at both ends of the rod 21, and the threaded post 22 is located on the outside of the water tank unit 10. Both ends of the rod 21 are provided with a washer 23 sleeved on the outside of the threaded post 22, and a nut 24 is threadedly connected to each threaded post 22. When the nut 24 is tightened, the washer 23 can be limited by the adjacent nuts 24 to fit and abut against the water tank unit 10, thereby clamping and fixing the water tank unit 10 with the washer 23 on the front and rear sides of the water tank unit 10. The internal gap of the washer 23 is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the rod 21, so that the washer 23 cannot move onto the rod 21.
