It is explained solely for the purpose of better understanding the subject. 30 4 The invention was developed to address the aforementioned problems within the prior art. This relates to an expansion tank with a structural arrangement. The tank in question is... a rubber / diaphragm (2) which keeps the water inside, inside the tank (A) A valve (3) that allows air to enter and exit, water from the mains into the tank (A) a water inlet record (4) that allows entry and two parts during the production of the tank (A) 5 It contains a source joint line (5) formed as a result of joining. The subject of the invention The distinguishing feature of the tank (A) is the direct contact of the rubber (2) with the inner surface of the tank (A). It consists of a funnel (1) that prevents it from doing so. The funnel (1) in question is designed in a form that conforms to the internal geometry of the tank (A), The funnel (1) is placed between the rubber / diaphragm (2) and the inner surface of the tank (A). Tank (A) 10 so that it can maintain its position inside and not move during use It includes a funnel fixing flap (1.1); said funnel fixing flap (1.1), It ensures that the funnel (1) is fixed to the inner surface of the tank (A). In addition, the funnel (1), a funnel base fixing extension (1.2) that enables it to be fixed to the inner base of the tank (A) It contains, so that the funnel (1) is also positioned in the base part of the tank (A) 15 It protects. In addition, the funnel (1) keeps the tank (A) in a central position inside. It includes a funnel centering extension (1.3) which provides; the said funnel centering Thanks to its extension (1.3), the funnel (1) remains fixed on the central axis of the tank (A) and Even during the movement of the rubber (2) inside the tank (A), it does not lose its position. Funnel (1), funnel fixing wing (1.1), funnel base fixing extension (1.2) and funnel 20 When the centering extension (1.3) is considered together, the common function of these elements is, contact of the rubber (2) with the inner surface of the tank (A) and in particular with the weld joint line (5). to completely eliminate it. Two parts during the manufacture of tank (A) The weld joint line (5) resulting from the joining of the joints, in the known state of the art. 25 is the area that causes friction damage to the rubber (2). It is obtained thanks to the funnel (1) and its associated elements (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) included in the invention. The contact of the rubber (2) with this area is physically prevented. The design subject to the invention allows the tank (A) to be used in both horizontal and vertical positions. It recognizes. When tank (A) is used in a horizontal position, the rubber / diaphragm (2) of tank (A) It is positioned approximately halfway and normally 30 during each filling and emptying operation. under these conditions it contacts the weld joint line (5); however, thanks to the funnel (1) this contact is prevented, therefore the rubber (2) tearing due to friction. This is prevented. When tank (A) is used in a vertical position, a similar protective effect is achieved. by preventing long-term contact of rubber (2) with the inner surface of tank (A) is provided. Since the rubber (2) is prevented from contacting the inner surface of the tank (A) thanks to the funnel (1), the tank (A) even if corrosion occurs on the inner surface over time, If corrosion does not have any abrasive effect on the rubber / diaphragm (2) funnel 5 (1) is prevented by cutting off contact. Valve (3) allows air to enter and exit the tank (A), thus increasing the pressure inside the tank (A). It allows the establishment of balance. The water inlet fitting (4) is the mains water to the tank. (A) ensures that the water is conveyed inside. Rubber / diaphragm (2) keeps the water inside tank (A). As a flexible structure that enables this, there is a 10 between the funnel (1) and the inner surface of the tank (A). It is positioned and expands and contracts during the filling and emptying movements of the water; The presence of the funnel (1) ensures that the rubber (2) contacts the inner surface of the tank (A) during this movement. It prevents wear and tear. In the preferred configuration of the invention, the funnel (1) and the funnel fixing wing (1.1), the funnel base The fixing extension (1.2) and the funnel centering extension (1.3) are manufactured as a single piece. 15 As it can be, in an alternative structure, these elements are separate parts. It can also be produced and assembled as such. Thus, the funnel (1) and the fixing attached to it. Thanks to elements (1.1, 1.2, 1.3), the service life of the rubber (2) and consequently of the tank (A) is extended. It is extended considerably, thus avoiding the frequent tank bursts encountered in the known state of the art. The need for change and the associated cost increase problem are eliminated. 20
