Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a reinforcing structure for the corners of a panel-type assembled aquarium.

Panel-type assembly water tanks can be manufactured by simply assembling the required number of predetermined unit panels that are pre-produced at a factory according to the volume, so water tanks can be installed on the roof or basement of a highly inspected building. It is also useful as a water tank.

For such unit panels, those made of reinforced plastic are preferably used in terms of corrosion resistance, strength, weight, etc.

When a large-capacity aquarium is assembled using a large number of unit panels, some kind of reinforcement is required because the container wall bends under water pressure and the aquarium as a whole bulges.

As for these reinforcing structures, an example in which tie rods are used to reinforce the opposing side walls is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 49-59106, but if the container is extremely large, the tie rods become too long and are not practical.

An alternative reinforcement structure is one in which the tie rod is extended between orthogonal side walls or between the side wall and the bottom wall.
No. 1-23059.

However, these methods do not give any consideration to reinforcing the corners of panel-type aquariums.

Figure 1 shows the reinforcement structure of a conventional panel type aquarium.
The joint portions of the flanges are reinforced with reinforcing angles 1, and the butting portions of the four panels 6 are reinforced with reinforcing brackets 2.

The reinforcing bracket 2 is also used to fix tie rods that are spanned between opposing side walls.

However, between the aquarium panels 6 and 6' located at right angles to each other at the corner of the aquarium, a chevron-shaped connecting member 10 is placed between the panel flanges 9 and 9' which protrude at right angles to each other on the outside of the aquarium corner.
are inserted, connected with bolts 11, and reinforcing angle 1
A similar reinforcing angle (not shown) is attached to the flange for reinforcement, and it was thought that it was not necessary to provide special reinforcing means at the corners of the aquarium.

However, as mentioned above, by reinforcing the tie rod between the reinforcing angle 1 and the inner side wall,
It has been confirmed that if the rigidity is increased, a problem arises in that a significant stress concentration occurs at the corner portion where the flanges of the four panels are connected, resulting in breakage.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a new reinforcing means for the corners of panel type aquariums. It has succeeded in relatively easily increasing the rigidity of the corner by firmly attaching it to a specific position, and it is a connecting piece that has a right angle at the corner to connect the side plates of a conventional structure at right angles to each other. For example, using
Although it is known as described in Japanese Patent No. 11586, the present invention is particularly aimed at reinforcing a panel type aquarium with a specific structure by fixing it at a specific position of the corner of the aquarium to increase the rigidity of the corner. As a result, the idea of reinforcing the corner portions of a panel aquarium by such a simple means has never existed before, and a completely new panel aquarium reinforcement structure is provided.

For this reason, the present invention is a panel-type aquarium in which aquarium panel flanges projecting at right angles to the outside of the corners of a panel type aquarium are connected by bolts via a chevron-shaped connecting member. , Reinforcement panels each having a flange bent at right angles on the same side with respect to the surface of the polygonal plate on the two sides are attached to the inner walls of both panels that intersect at right angles to each other inside the corner of the panel type aquarium, The double-bending flanges of the reinforcing panel are brought into contact with each other along the panel joint, and the inner wall of the corner aquarium panel is fixed to the flange of the reinforcing panel with fasteners such as bolts.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the corner reinforcement panel 7 according to the present invention.
It has a right triangular plate shape, and has flanges 4 and 5 bent at 90 degrees on the same side with respect to the plane of the panel 7, respectively, on two sides of the right angle.

Bolt holes 8 are provided in the flanges 4 and 5 at a distance from each other in order to secure the flanges 4 and 5 with a suitable number of bolts (fasteners).

As shown in FIG. 3, this reinforcing panel 7 is brought into contact with the corner portion from the inside along the panel joint and fixed with bolts.

The optimal location for reinforcement is the joints of the panels, which have high rigidity.

That is, by using the reinforcing panel 7 of the present invention, the joints have high rigidity and are given extremely high rigidity against external pressures such as water pressure and earthquakes.
Not only does the reinforcing effect become greater because the flanges are bent on the same side with respect to the plane of This made it possible to withstand pressure.

The strength of the reinforcing panel can also be increased by providing flanges on the cover, as shown in the example of FIG.

The arrangement shown in FIG. 2, on the other hand, has the convenience of simply cutting off a corner of the side or bottom panel.

Further, the reinforcing panel of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned triangular shape, but may also be used in a quadrilateral shape as shown in FIG. 5, for example.

As explained above, the reinforcing structure of the corner of a panel type aquarium according to the present invention is capable of reinforcing the entire corner.
It is possible to effectively avoid stress concentration at the corner caused by reinforcing other parts of the aquarium with tie rods or reinforcing angles.
