Water supply device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a water supply device formed by a vehicle, having a longitudinal direction and two sides, with one or more water tanks (2), a water inlet into the tank (11) and at least one outlet, comprising several outlets (12) distributed along at least one side, in addition to a water pump (13) for supplying water to the outlets and a water cooling and / or heating system, such that each outlet (12) has two taps corresponding to two temperatures. In particular, the vehicle can be in the form of a trailer.

Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Water supply device

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention, as the title of this specification states, is a water supply device for providing water to large numbers of people, either as an emergency device or in recreational areas with large crowds (festivals, beaches, etc.). This is an innovation that, within current technology, offers previously unknown advantages.

[0005] The present invention has its field of application within the water supply.

[0006] STATE OF THE ART

[0007] Sometimes, the drinking water system cannot supply enough water for the people in attendance. Sometimes this is due to a lack of outlets (taps), and other times because the system is damaged. Thus, in the case of music festivals or similar events, the facilities are often not equipped to supply water or beverages to the thousands of people attending the festival. Furthermore, since these festivals generally take place in the summer, this lack of supply can lead to health problems (heat exhaustion, dehydration, etc.) for attendees.

[0008] It is necessary to have a water supply source, in quantities and supply capacity (persons / hour) that are sufficient to cover the needs of the public.

[0009] The existence of a device that has structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal to or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed, is currently unknown.

[0010] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] The object of the present invention is a water supply device that provides a notable innovation within its field of application. The characterizing details that make it possible are conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description. The water supply device is formed by a vehicle, with a longitudinal direction and two sides. The longitudinal direction will normally be the forward direction of the vehicle. The vehicle has one or more water tanks, a water inlet to the tank, and at least one outlet. Specifically, it comprises several outlets distributed along at least one side. It is preferably a detachable trailer so that the tractor cab can leave the trailer in place and go to load and bring more trailers to renew and supply more water.

[0012] If the tank is higher than the outlets, the supply can be by gravity. However, it generally includes a water pump, with or without a pressurized storage tank.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, it comprises a water cooling and / or heating system. In this case, it is desirable for each outlet to have two taps at different temperatures.

[0014] Other ways of carrying out the invention are shown below.

[0015] EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

[0016] To complete the description being made and in order to help better understand the characteristics of the invention, a section of drawings is presented where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following have been represented.

[0017] Figure 1 corresponds to a schematic perspective view of an embodiment example.

[0018] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

[0019] The example of a device shown in the figures is based on a vehicle, such as a trailer (1 ) or a trailer with a tractor cabin, containing one or more water tanks (2). The trailer (1 ) has a water inlet (11 ) connected to a filtering system, preferably activated carbon. It also has a series of outlets (12), formed by a series of taps, and distributed along at least one side of the trailer (1 ). The trailer (1 ) thus has a large length for the arrangement of the outlets (12), and several users can access it in parallel.

[0020] The outlets (12) can be connected to a pump (13) that supplies pressure, either directly or through a pressurized storage tank (14). This storage tank (14) can be cooled or heated, depending on the intended use. For example, at a summer festival it may be cooled. In an emergency situation, it may need to be heated. In this second case, the outlets (12) can have two taps, so that users can choose between cold or hot water. The device has water quality sensors, for example, turbidity, pH, lime, as well as temperature. Where appropriate, a series of additive tanks can modify the water conditions. For example, it may be necessary to modify the pH, add some mineral salt...

[0021] This solution allows water to be supplied in large quantities, and with a large number of services per hour, given that users have several outputs (12) accessible independently, without some users disturbing others.

[0022] The system can be based on the sale of containers made of biodegradable material, so that container owners can refill their containers at will, without generating waste due to plastic bottles, disposable cups, etc. Furthermore, this solution greatly reduces logistics, since the volume required for water bottles is no longer necessary, as well as the need to refrigerate those bottles, transport them and serve them, with the corresponding savings in space, materials and personnel.
