BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water storage tank for storing irrigation water and the like.

[0002]

In the water tank, there are a number of troubles that fall into the leaves and algae are generated due to sunlight, polluting the water and clogging the nozzles of the irrigation equipment.

In order to prevent these, a water tank is generally covered with a roof. However, the structure becomes complicated and the construction cost becomes high.

As a measure for preventing the above troubles at low cost, there is a means for floating the sheet on the water surface to prevent dust and light, but it is difficult to remove dust on the sheet, and the sheet is easier than a piece due to wind or the like. There are drawbacks such as. In addition, the water storage tank has various devices such as an inflow tank, an outflow tank, a valve, and a spillway, and the sheet is involved in the constantly changing water level, and there is a concern that a trouble may occur, and measures for that need to be taken. There are many points.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. The purpose is that there is no load such as snow on the roof,
The aim is to propose a water tank that is stable to the wind, hard to cause obstacles, and can be constructed at low cost.

[0006]

A water storage tank according to claim 1 is a water storage tank in which a roof is attached to an upper surface of a water tank main body having a vertical wall surface, and the roof has a frame body adapted to the inner wall dimensions of the water tank main body. A waterproof sheet is fixed at the peripheral edge and stretched over, and a float is attached to the waterproof sheet at the peripheral part and the central part of the frame body, floated on the surface of the water to follow the water level of the water tank so that it can move up and down,
And a cylinder with a strainer that opens into the water tank is provided at the center part to protrude upward, and the float at the peripheral part is attached via a long support rod below, and at a low water level, a height center part corresponding to the length of the support rod is provided. The peripheral part is a funnel shape higher than that of the waterproof sheet, and when the water is full, the frame is prevented from rising at the upper end position of the tank body, and the roof part has a lower peripheral part than the central part waterproof sheet. .

A water tank according to a second aspect of the present invention is a water tank in which a roof is attached to an upper surface of a water tank main body having a vertical wall surface, and the roof is surrounded by a side plate adapted to a size of an inner wall of the water tank main body. A waterproof sheet is fixed at the peripheral edge and stretched over, a float is attached to the frame body, it floats on the water surface so that it can move up and down according to the water level of the tank, and one end part hangs down at the center of the waterproof sheet, and the water tank A vent pipe which is opened inside, and the other end of which projects upwardly with a strainer-equipped tube rising upward in the sheet, opens near the lower surface of the waterproof sheet, and has the other end connected to the outside of the waterproof sheet.

[0008]

In the water tank having the above-mentioned construction, when the water tank is not full and the water level is low, the roof has a funnel shape having a low central portion and a high peripheral portion, so that rainwater accumulates in the central portion. Since this rainwater is introduced into the water tank via the tube with the strainer, it does not accumulate on the roof too much. When the roof is full, the roof has a roof shape that is higher at the center than at the periphery, so that rainwater or dust on the roof is removed from the periphery to outside the tank wall.

The roof sinks below the water surface when a large load exceeding the buoyancy of the float is applied due to snow or the like, and the roof itself does not need to support a large load. When the roof sinks below the surface of the water, the water in the aquarium overflows onto the roof from the tube with the central strainer, so that snow and the like float on the water, and the load hardly acts on the roof. Therefore, the roof of this water tank has good stability, does not easily cause obstacles, and does not need to support a large load, so that the intended purpose can be achieved with a simple and low-cost one.

[0010] The roof of the water tank of paragraph 2 discharges the air staying between the waterproof sheet and the water surface from the ventilation pipe, and the waterproof sheet contacts the water surface and floats on the water surface by the buoyancy of the float. Because it covers, the roof top surface is flat and has little resistance to wind and is hard to break.

The rainwater falling on the roof flows into the tank from a cylindrical strainer projecting from the center. When a load such as snow is applied, the entire roof sinks and the water in the water tank overflows from the strainer onto the roof, and the roof is not burdened.

When removing dust and the like on the roof, air is sent from the ventilation pipe to the space between the waterproof sheet surrounded by the side plates of the annular frame and the water surface when the water level is reached, and the roof rises from the water surface. Then, the ascending stopper is brought into contact with the stopper to stop the upward movement, and then the air is supplied to the waterproof sheet so that the waterproof sheet is inflated. If the top surface of the roof is cleaned in this state, the leaves, dust, and the like are washed out of the water tank and do not stain the inside of the water tank. In addition, when the roof is fixed to the upper end of the water tank body in a state where it is in contact with the stopper and the water in the water tank is drained, the roof is supported by the water tank body and does not fall down, and cleaning of the water tank and maintenance of the equipment are performed. be able to.

[0013]

1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention, wherein a water storage tank 1 is a cylindrical water tank main body 2 having a vertical wall surface.
And a floating roof 3 attached to the upper surface thereof. The floating roof 3 is formed by fixing a waterproof sheet 5 to an annular frame 4 having a diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the water tank main body 2 with a margin, and fixing the waterproof sheet 5 at the peripheral edge of the frame. A plurality of peripheral floats 6 are attached at four peripheral positions, and one central float 7 is attached to the waterproof sheet 5 in the central part. The central float 7 is floated on the water surface so as to be able to ascend and descend according to the water level of the water tank. A cylinder 9 having a strainer 8 opening into the water tank projects upward.

The peripheral float 6 is attached to the frame 4 via a long downwardly extending support rod 10, the central float 7 is circular in cross section and slightly large, and the peripheral and central floats 6 and 7 are respectively located between each other. The seat can be moved up and down independently within the margin of the seat. Therefore, in the case of low water level, as shown in FIG.
The floating roof 3 has a height corresponding to the length of the support rod 10 at the peripheral edge, and has a funnel shape higher than the waterproof sheet 5 at the center.

When the water is full, as shown in FIG. 2, a ridge 11 projecting from the periphery of the frame 4 of the raised roof 3 comes into contact with a stopper 12 projecting from the inner surface of the upper end of the water tank main body 2 to form the frame. 4 is prevented from rising at the upper end position of the water tank body 2. The waterproof sheet 5 at the center of the floating roof is not constrained by the periphery, but rises within the margin of the sheet 5 due to the buoyancy of the center float 7, and has a conical shape in which the center is higher than the periphery. It has a roof shape.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show modifications of the above-mentioned cylindrical water storage tank. This water tank 1 is different from the water tanks of FIGS. 1 and 2 in that a center pole 13 that passes through the center axis of the water tank body 2 and rises from the bottom of the water tank that penetrates the cylinder 9 is provided.

The floating roof 3 of the water storage tank 1 has a cylinder 9 at the center.
Is raised and lowered along the center pole 13 penetrating through, and becomes a funnel shape when the water level is low as shown in FIG. 3 or a conical roof shape when the water level is full as shown in FIG. In addition, the stability of the roof against the wind can be further increased.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the water storage tank according to the first aspect of the present invention, which has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. As shown in FIG. None, the inner frame 4-1 constituting the frame has a concave central portion. Peripheral floats 6 are attached to the lower end of a support rod 10 also serving as a frame at a plurality of positions inside the peripheral edge of the frame 4.

The sheet 5 is fixed to the frame 4 only at the peripheral portion,
The central portion is stretched with a margin, and a central float 7 is attached via a plurality of connecting rods 14 at positions below the frame 4-1 at three central portions. A cylinder 9 having a strainer 8 opening into the water tank projects upward from the frame 4-1 above the central float 7.

When the water tank 1 of the rectangular parallelepiped shape to which the floating roof 3 is attached is at a low water level, as shown in FIG. 5, the seat 5 at the central portion of the height corresponding to the difference between the length of the support rod 10 and the connecting rod 14 is provided. Is lower than the periphery and becomes funnel-shaped.

When the floating roof 3 is full, the frame body hits a stopper (not shown) at the upper end position of the water tank main body and is prevented from rising, so that as shown in FIG. Then, it rises under the buoyancy of the central float 7, and has a roof shape whose central portion is higher than its peripheral portion. 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 show an embodiment of the water storage tank according to the second aspect. The water storage tank 1 is composed of a rectangular parallelepiped water tank main body 2 and a floating roof 3 provided thereon. The floating roof 3 is the tank body 2
A waterproof sheet 5 is fixed and stretched over a rectangular annular frame 15 surrounded by a side plate slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the sheet 5. A support plate 16 is attached to the center of the sheet 5, and A cylinder 9 having a strainer 8 is protruded from the plate, and a lower end of the cylinder formed of a flexible tube is attached with a weight 17 at a tip thereof and is suspended below the support plate 16 so as to be opened in a water tank.

At the four corners of the annular frame 15 of the floating roof 3, relatively small floats 18 enough to float the floating roof are mounted. A vent pipe 19 having one end opened and the other end opened on the upper surface of the sheet 15 is provided. This ventilation pipe 1
Numeral 9 discharges air remaining between the waterproof sheet 5 and the water surface to the outside of the tank, contacts the waterproof sheet 5 to the water surface, and allows the floating roof 3 to float on the water surface. FIG. 9 shows a floating roof floating on the water surface, in which a small amount of rainwater accumulates at the center of the upper surface of the sheet 5 and is slightly depressed to keep the balance. This state is preferable because the stability against wind pressure is high.

The rainwater falling on the floating roof 3 flows from the strainer 8 of the cylinder 9 into the water tank, and the floating roof moves up and down following the water level. When the water level is reached, the inflow pipe for supplying water to the water tank is closed, and the inflow of water is stopped. When rainwater flows in this state, it flows out of the spillway and does not reach a water level higher than the full water level. It should be noted that the full water level is a water level having a marginal depth as shown in FIG. 10, and a floating margin is provided when air is sent to the lower side of the waterproof sheet when the water is full.

When a blower 20 is connected to the ventilation pipe 19 to supply air to the lower side of the waterproof sheet 5, the floating roof 3 rises from the water surface to near the height of the side plate of the annular frame 15, as shown in FIG. When air is further blown in while the stopper 12 is in contact with the stopper 12 and the ascent is stopped, the waterproof sheet 5 expands and becomes a dome shape.

As shown in FIG. 11, if the floating roof 3 has a dome shape and hits the stopper 12 and the upper surface of the floating roof is washed in a stopped state, dust flows out of the water tank and does not pollute the inside of the water tank.

Further, when the annular frame 15 is fixed with, for example, a pin 21 in the state of FIG.
As shown in 2, the dome-shaped swelling waterproof sheet is slightly recessed, but a part of the sheet 15 can be opened to enter the tank and be cleaned.

As shown in FIGS. 13 (a) and 13 (b), if a side plate on one side of the annular frame 5 is bent inward to provide a manhole 22, it is easy for people to get in and out, and the inside of the water tank can be changed as needed. Observation is preferable. Further, the spillway pipe 23 is provided therein, and its function can be exhibited without affecting the air pressure in the water tank.
