The bottom of the drainage pit, which is a part of the panel artificially formed on the flat metal surface of the drainage panel, is used as the mounting surface for the pumping pipe, water supply pipe, and overflow pipe. To provide an aquarium which can also be used as a mounting surface, has good drainage, does not impair the external appearance due to pipes being exposed from the outer surface of the aquarium, and can also prevent deformation of the ceiling wall due to external pressure. It is.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, A is the aquarium body, A1 is its bottom wall, A2 is the side wall, and A3
are ceiling walls, and these base walls A, , A2 . A is the bottom wall A
It is constructed by connecting and assembling a large number of unit panels 1, all of which are formed to the same shape and standard except for a part where the drainage pit 3 is to be installed. Only the portion that is to be used is constituted by a unit panel 2 having a different shape and specification from the unit panel 1.

Hereinafter, a large number of unit panels 1 having the same shape and standard will be referred to as the same type unit panel 1, and a unit panel 2 having a different shape and standard will be referred to as a drainage panel 2.

The same-type unit panel 1 consists of a pressure-receiving surface a that is a rectangular plane and a joint edge that is integrally bent over the entire periphery of the four peripheries, and the pressure-receiving surface a has an appropriate width along the periphery. A plane part a1 is formed, and the part surrounded by this plane part a becomes a bulge part a2 whose height gradually increases toward the center, and at the top thereof there is a peak parallel to the plane part a1. A surface a3 is formed.

Further, the joining edge is formed by bending at right angles to the flat portion a1 of the pressure receiving surface a, and protrudes on the side opposite to the protruding side of the bulging portion a2.

Bolt holes (not shown) are suitably drilled at predetermined locations in this joining edge.

The drainage panel 2 is a rectangular plane and has a flat pressure receiving surface a.

is formed, and the vertical width of the joining edge b' is formed to be narrower to some extent than that of the joining edge b' of the unit panel 1 of the same type.

This joint edge b' is provided with bolt holes as in the same type unit panel 1.

Therefore, using only the same type unit panel 1, the side wall A2
A ceiling wall A3 is constructed, and a bottom wall A1 is constructed using a large number of unit panels 1 of the same type and a small number of drainage panels 2.

That is, the side wall A2 and the ceiling wall A3 are made by interposing the same type unit panels 1 with the gasket 5 between them, bringing the joining edges into contact with each other, and connecting the required number of unit panels 1 so that they all face the same direction while tightening them with bolts and nuts 6. The bottom wall A1 is formed with the required number of unit panels 1 and 1 of the same type.
The two drainage panels 2 are joined together with a gasket 5 interposed between them, b' are brought into contact with each other, and are tightened with bolts and nuts 6 to be joined together, so that b' all face in the same direction. Connect and assemble into a right-angled quadrilateral.

At this time, all of the joining edges b' are joined so that their end surfaces are in the same plane.

In the bottom wall A1 and side wall A2, the bulging part a2 of each unit panel 1 of the same type faces inward of the tank body A, and in the ceiling wall A3, the bulging part a2 of the unit panel 1 of the same type faces outside of the tank body A. The aquarium main body A is assembled in the following manner.

Therefore, the bottom wall A1 is installed so that the pressure-receiving surface a' of the drainage panel 2 is one step lower than the flat part a1 of the pressure-receiving surface a of the adjacent unit panel 1 of the same type, and the recessed part 14 is artificially formed into a flat shape. A drainage pit 3 is formed in the recessed part 14.

In addition, when assembling the aquarium main body A, the bottom wall A1 and the side wall A
2. The side walls A2 and the ceiling wall A3 are connected to each other through an angle 7 having two right-angled sides.

That is, when joining the bottom wall A1 and the side wall A2, the outer surface of one side of the angle 7 is connected to the joining edge located at the lower edge of the side wall A2, and the outer surface of the other side is connected to the joining edge b' located at the periphery of the bottom wall A1. When abutting and joining side walls A2 to each other, adjacent side walls A2. A joining edge located on the adjacent side edge of A2, the outer surface of each side of the angle 7 is brought into contact with the outer surface of b, and furthermore, when joining the side wall A2 and the ceiling wall A3, the joining edge located on the upper edge of the side wall A2 The outer surface of each side of the angle 7 is brought into contact with the outer surface of the outer surface and the outer surface of the joint edge located at the periphery of the ceiling wall A3, and the contacting joint edge and the angle 7 are tightened and fixed with bolts and nuts 8.

Bolt holes are drilled on each side of the angle 7 so as to correspond to the bolt holes drilled in the joint edge of the unit panel 1, and a gasket 9 is provided between the angle 7 and the joint edge connected thereto.
is interposed.

Moreover, 10 is a support supporting the ceiling wall A3, and the bottom wall A1
and the ceiling wall A3, and its upper and lower ends are provided opposite to the ceiling wall A3 and the bottom wall A1.
．． 13.

The engaging portion 11 of the bottom wall A1 has four steps 11a recessed in the shape of a circle divided into four equal parts at the four corners of each of the same type unit panels 1 constituting the bottom wall A1. The retaining portion 13 of the ceiling wall A3 is formed at the intersection of the joint portions, and is formed by cutting out the joint edge protruding into the aquarium main body A.

Such a water tank body A has a drain pipe 12 connected to the drain hole 4 in the bottom wall, and a water pump, water supply pipe, overflow pipe, etc., on the flat pressure receiving surface a' in the margin of the drain panel 2 to which the drain pipe 12 is attached. Equip the necessary pipes, fit and lock the lower end into the recessed part 11a of the bottom wall A1 and the engagement part 13 of the ceiling wall A3, respectively, and erect the support 10 between the bottom wall A1 and the ceiling wall A3. do.

In the above embodiment, only one drainage pit 3 is provided on the bottom wall A1, but it is also possible to have two or more drainage pits, and for that purpose, two or more drainage panels 2 may be used on the bottom wall A1. .

In this invention, a drainage panel that forms a part of the bottom wall like a diagonal top and has a flat top surface is installed one step lower than the plane level of the same type unit panel on the bottom wall, and the panel 1 is placed on the flat metal surface. Since the drainage pit is artificially formed to the size of one sheet, the bottom of the drainage pit is not only a drainage hole, but also a drainage hole.
It can also be used as a mounting surface for all the pipes necessary for an aquarium, such as lift pipes, water supply pipes, overflow pipes, and drain pipes.

Therefore, there is no need to separately prepare a special panel for installing pipes in addition to a panel with a drainage pit, simplifying management and reducing the types of panels required for the aquarium. It is not exposed from the side wall and is installed inside the tank from the bottom wall, so it does not spoil the aesthetic appearance of the aquarium.

Furthermore, it is very easy to attach the supports to the flat parts of the ceiling wall and the bottom wall.

In addition, a drainage groove is formed in the bottom wall in the shape of a mesh by the flat surface of the peripheral edge of each of the same type unit panels that make up this bottom wall, and the bottom wall is formed in the direction of the drainage groove by the bulge of each of the same type unit panels. Because of the slope, water is quickly collected in the drainage ditch, and the drainage ditch guides it to the drainage pit, allowing for smooth drainage.

Furthermore, the lower end is fitted into a recessed step formed in the plane part of the cross-shaped joint between unit panels of the same type, and the upper end is engaged with the joint edge of the ceiling wall to support the space between the bottom wall and the ceiling wall. Since the water tank is erected, the pressure resistance of the ceiling wall can be increased without being bent or deformed by the weight of workers during cleaning or snow accumulation, thereby providing an aquarium with excellent durability.

Therefore, the intended purpose can be achieved.
