Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a water tank for air transportation useful for transporting water and other liquids necessary to extinguish surrounding embers in a forest fire.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In order to deal with fires in forests and the like, in many cases, means of aerial spraying of large amounts of chemical agents using aircraft, helicopters, etc. is adopted. However, even if the main part is extinguished, there are still some parts of the surrounding area where there is still an afterglow, and if it is not completely finished, the extinction will not be completed. For this reason, it is often the case that fire extinguisher workers go into the mountains with a backpack type water bladder, etc., and receive replenishment of water or liquid extinguishing media at key points to finish the above-mentioned embers. Therefore, there is a need for a means for air transportation of necessary water or liquid fire extinguishing agents, etc. to a convenient location for replenishment using a recopter, etc., and there has been a great demand for the development of effective materials for this purpose. .

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is a container that can be carried by a helicopter in a stable posture, and even when it is unloaded on site, it is sufficiently It is self-sustaining and stable, and it does not require the use of metal or wooden frames to store the containers, and it is lightweight and flexible after replenishment and is convenient for returning. Its purpose is to provide a water tank for air transportation that does not hinder repeated use.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention comprises: a. A water tank including a frustoconical tubular water tank body and a cylindrical injection port provided on the upper surface of the body. B. The main body portion has a cross-shaped partition portion that divides the content water amount into approximately four, c. In addition, an observation window on the side surface of which water content can be visually confirmed, d. A plurality of hanging belts through which a hanging rope can be inserted; e. Air transportation water tank is established as the gist.

[Embodiment of device]

 FIG. 1 is a perspective explanatory view showing an example of the water tank for air transportation according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan explanatory view showing a bottom reinforcing underlay portion for supporting a water body from the bottom, and FIG. It is a perspective explanatory view showing a partition.

[0006]

【Example】

 As shown in FIG. 1, the water tank is composed of a water tank body portion 1 and an inlet portion 2. Since the body of the water tank is formed in the shape of a truncated cone, the center of gravity exists near the bottom surface after pouring water, and there is less shaking due to hanging, and the product is transported with a stable posture and Even if it lands on rough terrain, it has sufficient independence. The water tank of the present invention does not require an outer frame or the like for assisting the independence of the water tank.

Next, one of the features of the water tank according to the present invention is that a cross-shaped partition portion 3 as shown in FIG. You must have it. The partition part 3 is normally open 3a at the bottom so that water can communicate with each other. Due to the presence of the partition 3, the water is evenly distributed within the container, unevenly distributed during transportation, and one end is not overloaded, resulting in no water leakage or premature destruction of the water tank body. .

The water tank body 1 has an observation window 4 on its side surface so that the water content can be visually confirmed. Therefore, the remaining amount is known, and appropriate measures can be taken.

A plurality of suspending belt portions 6 through which the suspending ropes 5 can be inserted are provided in order to serve for lifting. The suspending belt portions are also provided at the same position facing each other, and the suspending rope 5 and a total of four suspending belt portions cooperate to have a strong suspending force. Reference numeral 7 indicates a discharge hose portion, which is locked to the fixed hook portion 7a when the water is not drained.

The inlet part 2 is provided on the upper surface of the body of the water tank by sewing or the like. Water injected from the opening 2a is sealed in the main body through the opening 1a of the main body 1. The opening 2a is tied with a knot rope 8 which is provided around the periphery after water injection and is closed with a knot string 9. Needless to say, the water tank according to the present invention can be used to suspend and transport liquid substances other than water, such as liquid fire extinguishing agents.

The above is the structure and operation effects of the air transport water tank according to the present invention, but the water tank of the present invention can be provided with the bottom reinforcing underlay portion 10 shown in FIG. 2 separately. The underlay portion 10 supports the drainage tank from the bottom portion 1b of the main body portion, and the tape 10a at the peripheral end is inserted into the hook portion 11 attached near the bottom portion of the main body portion of the drainage tank, and the fibrous surface fastener of the tape 10a, etc. Hang up by.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 The air-transporting water tank according to the present invention is based on the above-mentioned configuration, and since the water tank main body is formed in the shape of a truncated cone, it has good stability during air-transporting, and at the time of landing. Even if it is a little rough terrain, it can be sufficiently self-supporting, and it is convenient because the frame made of metal, wood, etc. that is usually used in flexible containers is unnecessary. In addition, since it has a cross-shaped partition that evenly divides the amount of water contained, it prevents swaying of water to prevent premature damage and leakage of the water tank. This is a very useful idea because it has many advantages such as forming a strong transportation and hoisting means in cooperation with the rope and the hanging belt.
