Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an aquarium whose side walls are constructed by assembling an appropriate number of unit panels, and in particular to an improvement in the reinforcement structure of the side walls. The objective is to improve the pressure resistance of the side walls against the pressure applied to the unit panels, prevent buckling deformation of the unit panels themselves, and further strengthen the joints between the unit panels to improve water tightness and durability.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated embodiments.

In the figure, A is a water tank, A1 is its side wall, and the side wall A1 is assembled from a large number of unit panels 1.

The unit panel 1 consists of a pressure-receiving surface a having a rectangular planar shape and a joint flange b integrally bent over the entire four peripheries of the pressure-receiving surface a. A plane part a1 is formed, and a part surrounded by this plane part a1 becomes a bulge part a2 whose height gradually increases toward the center, and a top face a3 parallel to the plane part a1 is formed at the top of the bulge part a2. is formed.

Further, the joining flange b is bent at right angles to the flat part a1 of the pressure receiving surface a, and projects on the same side as the projecting side of the bulging part a2, and bolts 7L2 are drilled at predetermined positions thereof.

Then, this unit panel 1 is made by interposing the packing 3 in between, bringing the joining flanges b into contact with each other, tightening them with bolts and nuts 4, and connecting them in the required number so that they all face the same direction, and forming a wall surface of the required size. form.

At this time, a reinforcing plate 5 is placed along each joining flange b on the side opposite to the side that contacts the joining flange b of the adjacent panel 1, and this reinforcing plate 5 is tightened together with the joining flange b with the bolt nuts 4, A pair of mutually connected flanges b, b are sandwiched between reinforcing plates 5, 5.

The reinforcing plate 5 is made of a metal strip plate having the same width or a slightly narrower width than the joining flange b, and is arranged so that its longitudinal edge coincides with the tip edge of the joining flange b over almost the entire length of one side of the joining flange b. I will make you comply.

Further, on the wall surface, a pair of stay mounting holes 6 are formed in each of the horizontally adjacent panels 1, 1 at a position close to the panel corner of the plane part a1, sandwiching the joint between the panels 1, 1. to drill.

Depending on the position of the panel 1 in the wall surface, the stay attachment holes 6 are formed in both the upper and lower parts of the panel 1, or in either the upper or lower parts.

This wall surface is fixed upright along the periphery of the bottom wall A2, which is a rectangular planar rectangular shape formed by joining and connecting a plurality of unit panels 1', to form a side wall A1, and at the upper end, there is also a plurality of unit panels. The ceiling wall A3 constructed by joining and connecting 1'' is constructed.

7 is a stay and a unit panel 1 on the opposite wall surface of the side wall A1
, 1 plane part a1. It is made of a bar slightly longer than the width between a1 and 2, and the planar part a1. A seat plate 8 is integrally provided at a length position corresponding to the width between the a1 inner surfaces, and a threaded rod portion 9 is provided at a portion beyond the seat plate 8.

Then, the stay 7 inserts the threaded rod portions 9 at both ends into the stay mounting holes 6 facing each other in the side wall A1, and then the stay 7 is passed across the panel 1.1 on the opposite wall, and the seat plate 8 is inserted through the gasket 10. A gasket 11 and a washer 12 are sequentially inserted and attached to the threaded rod portion 9 which is brought into contact with the inner surface of the side wall A1, that is, the inner surface of the panels 1, 1, and which protrudes from the side wall A1, and this is screwed onto the threaded rod portion 9 from the outside. 13, the panels 1 and 1 are tightly attached to the outer surface.

That is, the stay 7 is connected to the panel 1 by the seat plate 8 and the washer 12.
1 is clamped and fixed to the insertion portion of the side wall A1, and is installed across the opposing wall surfaces of the side wall A1.

Further, the stay 7 holds the joint portion of the panel 1 at its threaded rod portion 9, and mounts an auxiliary support plate 14 across adjacent stays 7.

The auxiliary support plate 14 is made of a small strip-like piece of metal, and has stay insertion holes 15 bored at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The nut 16 is inserted into the threaded rod portion 9 of each of the paired stays 7.7 and mounted on the stay 7.7, and is prevented from falling off from the stay 7 by tightening the nut 16 screwed onto the threaded rod portion 9 from the outside. The midway portion of the auxiliary support plate 14 presses into contact with the end faces of the joint flanges b, b of the panels 1, 1 that straddle the auxiliary support plate 14.

In the figure, 17 is a manhole, 18 is a water inlet, and 19 is a water outlet, all of which are constructed of specially formed special panels.

Also, 20 is a ladder. Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the side wall is always tensioned and fixed by the stay, so that it can sufficiently withstand the pressure from the inside of the tank due to the stored water and can prevent the side wall from deforming.

In addition, the stay is fixed at the side wall insertion portion, while an auxiliary support plate is installed across the adjacent stays at the side wall protrusion, and this auxiliary support plate is pressed into contact with the end face of the joining flange of the unit panel forming the side wall. Therefore, the tensile force from the stay can be received at two places: the fixed point in the panel insertion part of the stay, and the abutment part of the auxiliary support plate to the joint flange end surface, and the panel can be received at the fixed part in the panel insertion part of the stay. It is possible to prevent buckling from occurring.

Furthermore, the joining flanges of the panels are covered with reinforcing plates made of metal plates, and the reinforcing plates sandwich the joined and connected pair of flanges from both sides, so the flanges are reinforced and there is no risk of them deforming and causing water leakage. Of course, there is no buckling caused by tightening bolts and nuts for joining.

Moreover, since the reinforcing plate is arranged so that its edge substantially coincides with the tip end edge of the flange, it is possible to prevent the flange from buckling due to the pressing contact of the auxiliary support plate.
