Description

The functions of the invention are documented in the drawings ( Fig. 1-8) and will be described in more detail below.

Fig. 1: The tank is in the initial state.

Fig. 2: Final state of the tank at maximum filling. The drawing is cut on the right and shows the position of the seals (L1 + L2), as well as the guide rail (M) and connecting rail (N), the task of which is explained in more detail in Fig. 5.

Fig. 4: Final ventilation system (D)

The cover plate (D9) is provided with end ventilation holes (D3). Highlighted in the tower (D4) Pull serves as a stop for the closure plate (D7), which after filling by means of the Locking wheel (D1) and the connecting rod (D2) to the ring seal (D8), which is below the Stop is attached, is pressed and thus seals the tank.

Fig. 5:
In order to prevent greater mobility of the base tank (A) compared to the extension tanks (b), a guide rail (M) was installed, which serves as a spacer.

Two seals were installed in order to ensure tightness. The seal L1 was on the Outside of the base tank (A), the second seal L2 inside the base tank in the form of a Slip seal attached. The seal L2 also has a safety function to to prevent possible leaks or failures in the tank.

The connecting rail (N) was installed as a third fuse. In the event of failure, it should of the two seals to absorb the pressure and mass of the escaping liquid.

In the opposite direction, it should be the water pressure and Catch water masses to prevent water ingress - with the seal L2.

Problem:

Previously known liquid tanks have a given rigid construction, which results in a fixed maximum volume of absorbable liquid, which is only low due to pressure refueling can be enlarged.

• 1. If more volume is required than available, the installation of a second tank or the procurement of a larger tank is the means of choice.
  • 1.1 However, this second tank is usually not abandoned, which results in wasted usable space and increased costs.
  • 1.2 The telescope tank should adapt itself individually according to the required volume - up to its own maximum volume - and thus save space and costs.

Solution:

This problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1 (extension part, seal, stabilization).
Examples of use:
Firefighting technology
Collecting fire water
Collection of oil or oil water from streams, lakes, seas.
Disaster operations

(Floods, etc.) must pump an unknown number of oil tanks and empty consequently an unknown amount of oil will be transported and stored.

According to the disaster control plans and the fire brigade's deployment plans, tankers from the surrounding companies are being used, and their absorption capacity cannot be calculated.
Arid areas
Use in tanker gaps

Claims (1)

Extendable multi-part liquid tank, characterized in that the tank consists of 3 movable parts, each of which is provided with sealing systems and stabilization systems, thereby ensuring more flexible filling,
