Definitions

  • a liquid tank having a rigid frame and a flexible envelope resting on the ground, the center of gravity of which can be raised above the ground, the maximum capacity of which is variable.
  • the present invention relates to a reservoir for liquid comprising a removable rigid frame and a sealed flexible envelope, intended to rest on the ground, and having a variable maximum capacity for positioning the liquid column at different heights relative to the ground.
  • the technical problem is to propose a reservoir for liquid contained in a perfectly cylindrical sealed waterproof flexible envelope, whose installation is easy, whose capacity is variable and whose stability on the ground whatever its relative flatness and nature offers complete security to individuals likely to rely on it and a strong hold in the wind can not destabilize.
  • the state of the art teaches a reservoir comprising a rigid support frame and a flexible envelope whose capacity is not variable and whose center of gravity can not be raised above the ground safely because the stability seems insufficient, the document FR-A-2763923 discloses a storage and handling device for fluid materials.
  • the main solution is to increase the lift surface of the rigid support frame, whose area is greater than the horizontal section of the flexible envelope, while giving the flexible envelope a support base attached to the rigid frame and whose height on it is variable.
  • the removable rigid support frame comprises a single resistant technical mast receiving, at different levels of its length, orifices constituting anchoring points for various technical parts.
  • the mast linked to a specific base with four height-adjustable feet provided with wide plates offset from the horizontal section of the tank, tends to make it stable vertically.
  • This mast is the backbone of the rigid structure and takes up most of the weight of the liquid contained in the flexible envelope with the help of two specific ferrules fixed horizontally on the latter and adjustable in height Four stiffeners receiving orifices at different levels their length, constituting anchoring points, positioned on edge relative to the outer circumference of the two ferrules bind them to the base.
  • the device comprises a base 6 characterized by its geometry representing a "V” consisting of two metal tubes receiving different orifices. They are both linked inside the “V” they constitute, using screws, to a metal part 4 whose geometry represents an isosceles triangle whose top is truncated, which allows to preserve the opening angle of the "V” and limits the mechanical shear effects of the structure.
  • the lower part of the mast 1 is fixed to the end of the tip of the "V” that forms the base with removable metal legs 5. All these parts, once screwed together constitute a solidarity.
  • the base receives on both sides of its "V” that it forms, outside the first third of its height a tubular metal branch 7 fixed perpendicularly. These branches are the lateral stabilizers of the base. The ends of the stabilizers and the high ends of the "V" each receive an adjustable foot 8 in height consisting of a wide plate mounted on threaded rod with large clearance.
  • the offset of the feet relative to the horizontal section of the liquid column increases the support surface of the rigid frame and allows to raise the center of gravity of the column of liquid contained in the flexible envelope safely.
  • the technical mast with this base is vertically stable and thus facilitates the mounting and adjustment of the two rings on the latter.
  • the specific geometric shape of the base despite a large offset of its feet relative to the circumference of the ferrules, makes it possible to bring several external points of the latter into contact with a vertical plane to facilitate storage where a specific use of the reservoir.
  • the ferrules each receive a plurality of rectangular metal tabs receiving several orifices, fixed on their outer circumference circumference. Each ferrule receives six legs. Two of them are fixed on either side of the median axis of the ferrule, their spacing relative to this axis allows to receive the mast in its thickness.
  • the other four legs are fixed respectively two to two symmetrically with respect to the median axis of the ferrule. They are positioned almost in line with the four branches that form the base when the shell is mounted on the mast.
  • the flat irons act as a stiffener 9 and take up part of the charge of the liquid column. They also make it possible to minimize the deformations of the two shells in bending and limit the torsion effects of the metal structure.
  • the entire metal structure being rigid and secured by five attachment points to the legs provided with adjustable feet height allows for correction of the attitude of the column of the liquid, even with a large volume.
  • the mast receives two metal ferrules positioned horizontally. The difference between them corresponds to the maximum height of the column of liquid.
  • the lower ferrule 2 receives on its total internal surface a wooden plate 10 which rests on metal bars fixed transversely at regular intervals inside the ferrule.
  • This shell provided with this wooden plate gives the flexible envelope a rigid and flat bottom and takes up a large part of the weight of the column of the liquid.
  • the lower shell has two positions on the mast in height, a low that gives the flexible envelope its optimal capacity, and a high which decreases its capacity but optimizes the height of its liquid outlet point relative to the ground for particular uses .
  • the upper shell 3 serves to maintain the cylindrical shape of the flexible envelope
  • the envelope on its extreme upper total circumference, comprises a flexible bead increasing the thickness of the sheet.
  • Two half-shells 12 are applied on the inner circumference of the casing 11 at the lower limit of the bead so as to press the cover against the inner circumference of the upper shell. This pressure is exerted by clamping screws which pass through orifices provided for this purpose on the half-rings, on the sheet as well as on the upper shell.
  • the bead prevents the flexible envelope from sliding downward when it undergoes a tensile force, abutting against the upper circumference of the half-rings.
  • the two half-rings placed end to end have a circumference lower than the inner circumference of the upper shell. They receive oblong holes fairly wide horizontally and their ends receive large horizontal notches so as to optimize and facilitate their implementation.
  • the six legs fixed on edge on the outer circumference of the upper ring receive large vertical lights. They make it possible to obtain a vertical translation of the ferrule with respect to the attachment points which connect it to the mast as well as to the four stiffeners so as to adjust the tension of the sheet of the flexible envelope.
  • the flexible envelope has a bottom drain that allows to completely empty its content.
  • the point of lowest use liquid outlet is located at about 1/6 of the total height of the liquid column so as to maintain a constant minimum mass which increases the stability of the tank.
  • the dimensions of the flexible envelope are calculated so that when it is installed in minimum capacity, the excess length of material constituent can be folded inside the upper shell.
  • the length of this fold does not exceed in height the upper limit of the ferrule. Therefore technically, it is possible to obstruct the top of the liquid column without discomfort, possibly using a lid resting on the ferrule.
  • the rigid carrier frame can also receive two separate envelopes which their dimensions correspond each, one to the minimum capacity of liquid, the other to the optimum capacity of liquid.
  • the resistant mast as well as the four stiffeners are supports for fixing various technical elements whose list is not exhaustive so as to ensure the distribution of the liquid, the maintenance of the liquid, and the retention of the liquid.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly intended to contain a liquid, to ensure its distribution, maintenance and collection.
