Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To serve a water storage tank capable of being simply set up only by partially replacing components of the existing water supply facility used as the circulation type water storage tank as measures to deal with natural calamities. SOLUTION: A circulation type water storage tank is constituted of a water pipe 6 pouring city water into the storage tank and supplying water in the water storage tank to a faucet of water works, water supply pipes 3 and 4, a cover 2 having two inlets used for recharging and water supply and water storage tank 1 for circulating and storing water. Then, two functions such as recharging and water supply are given to the water pipe 6, a water storage tank main body has high air tightness and high thermal insulation and, at the same time, it can be set up without changing the existing water supply facility.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a circulating water storage tank which can be easily installed in a general house, an apartment house, an office, etc., regardless of whether it is new or existing, and is mainly used when water is cut off during a disaster such as an earthquake. The present invention relates to a circulating water tank that can be used regardless of whether it is installed indoors or outdoors for the purpose of securing available fresh water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is no water storage tank as in the present invention which can be easily installed even in ordinary households and can always secure fresh water. Things were difficult. Although there is a portable water tank, the idea is to take water from a tap and store it, which may hinder daily life.

[0003] The conventional large-scale method requires the cooperation of the government or the decision of the residents' association in the case of a multi-family housing, and it has been difficult to install such a system at the individual level.

[0004] After seeing the Kobe earthquake, many people felt the importance of securing water in the event of a disaster. However, little measures have been taken in practice. It is about. Many people want to commercialize a circulating water tank such as the present invention that can be installed at the individual level.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised for the purpose of helping to secure fresh water at the time of the above-mentioned disaster, and can be easily installed without any civil engineering work.
The circulation type water tank that can secure fresh water without blocking the faucet etc.
This is a problem to be solved by the present invention.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to a water tank 1 having a heat-insulating effect due to its transportable size and weight, a lid 2 having a water inlet and a water inlet, and a water main. Water pipe 6 including a branch pipe 6-1 for flowing water from the water tank and a branch pipe 6-2 for supplying water from the water tank to the faucet, and a water inlet pipe 3 for a lid attached to the main body water tank. , Water supply port is 4
The parts are connected to the branch pipes 6-1 and 6-2 of the water pipe, respectively. Due to the configuration of these parts, the water in the water tank is circulated if the water is used every day after installation. Water can be secured in the water tank.

Further, as many water tanks as desired can be installed using the connecting pipe 7 as desired by the user, or can be added later. As long as the confidentiality is maintained, there is no drop in water pressure due to the number of installations. If water is supplied to the faucet from the last water tank, the water circulation can be performed as in a single unit.

The handle 1-5 is provided for convenience of transportation in the event of a disaster. The water supply port 1-7 at the bottom of the main body is normally folded and the valve is closed. When opened, the valve opens when used and water can be supplied. Holes 1-6 opened in the main body cover are used when fixing to a floor or the like for improving earthquake resistance.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention;
4 and a water pipe 6, the main body water storage tank is a triple water tank 1-1, a heat insulating material 1-3, an outer cover 1-2, and a bottom plate 1 having a triple structure to protect water from changes in temperature. -4 is attached.

[0010] The lid is a component 2 and 2 to be screwed into the water tank.
One of the water inlets, consisting of part 2-1 with two water inlets, is used as a water inlet from a water main to a reservoir,
The second port is used as a faucet for water supply from the water tank. The inside of the water supply port (reservoir side) has a water pipe 2-2 that extends to near the bottom of the water tank. ing. The purpose of this part is to promote the circulation of water in the aquarium. The size of the lid should be large enough for human hands to wash inside.

[0011] The water transmission pipes 3 and 4 for relaying are tightened with nuts 5.
It is fixed to the lid side and the water pipe 6 by the above method, but may be connected to a pressure-resistant hose with a one-touch connector.

The two branch pipes attached to the water pipe 6 are located on the lower side 6-1.
Injects water from a water main via a water pipe 3 into a water storage tank. The upper side 6-2 is a branch pipe 6-1 and 6-2 which serves to supply water coming from a water storage tank via the water pipe 4 to a water tap.
The tap water is always closed and the water circulated in the water storage tank via the branch pipe 6-1 reaches the faucet via the branch pipe 6-2.

The material of the water storage tank 1 may be plastic or another material, but the middle water tank is generally formed by blow molding of plastic in view of easiness of production, and needs to have strength enough to withstand the water pressure of tap water.

In the event of a disaster, it is confirmed that the water is cut off, and the water supply port 1-7 at the bottom of the main body is raised to use the water in the water tank.

The water storage tank can be installed outdoors or indoors, but it is preferable that the installation space be large.

Also, once installed, an extension can be easily performed by an amateur if the extension pipe 7 and the water storage tank 1 are provided.

The connecting parts such as the water pipe, the water supply pipe, and the lid can all be made of a good one-touch connector for preventing water leakage.

[0018]

The present invention is constructed and operated as described above, so that after installation it is possible to live as before without any special restrictions, and always keep fresh water in the water tank. You can use the water in the water storage tank for a certain period of time without relying on water trucks or water stations where you do not know when the disaster will occur.
