Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improved water tank, and more particularly to an improved water tank with a pump chamber.

This month, a pump chamber with a built-in pump was connected to one side of the tank to create a tank with a pump chamber.

However, in the aquarium with a pump chamber described above, since the aquarium and the pump chamber are integrally connected, the vibration of the pump is directly transmitted to the aquarium itself, which actually has the disadvantage of deteriorating the durability of the aquarium. .

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and its purpose is to provide an aquarium in which vibrations are not transmitted to the aquarium even when the pump is operated, and the durability of the aquarium is not deteriorated. be.

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

A in the figure indicates the aquarium main body, and this main body A is the unit panel 4.
Configure by combining an appropriate number of.

The unit panel 4 has a well-known rectangular shape with a flange 5 protruding from its periphery, and the flanges 5 are placed behind each other and connected and fastened with connecting bolts and nuts 6a and 6b to form an aquarium main body A that is closed on six sides. form.

The pump chamber C is formed by closing the unit panels 4 on all sides with their peripheral flanges 5 in contact with each other and leaving one wall corresponding to one side wall B of the aquarium body A and the bottom wall open.

Then, the aquarium main body A and the pump chamber C are arranged side by side in close proximity with one side wall B of the aquarium main body A facing the open part, and the adjacent gap 7 is surrounded by the connecting plate 1.

The connecting plate 1 is composed of a first connecting piece 1a that protrudes from the flange 5 around the aquarium body A and the side wall B, and a second connecting piece 1b that protrudes from the flange 5 around the open part of the pump chamber C.

The first connection piece 1a has a wa-like shape in which a flat plate is formed into an upwardly inclined inclined plate part 1d leaving a mounting plate part 1c at one end, and an upright plate part 1e is erected at the tip of the flat plate, and the mounting plate part 1c
At the same time, the mounting hole 8 of the connecting pole 6b is opened, and the cushion material 2 is fitted and held in the upright plate portion 1e.

Like the first connecting piece 1a, the second connecting piece 1b has a flat plate with an upwardly inclined inclined plate part 1d leaving the mounting plate part 1c at one end, and has a hook-shaped retaining part 1f bent at the tip thereof. The mounting hole 8 of the connecting port 6b is formed in the mounting plate part IC, and it engages with the first connecting piece 1a to surround the proximity gap 7 between the water tank body A and the pump chamber C. do.

In addition, a fitting protrusion 9 for the connecting pieces 1a and lb that is continuously attached to one end of the first and second connecting pieces 1a and lb is formed one step higher, and both ends of the first and second connecting pieces 1a and lb Tightening holes 10 for the connecting pieces 1a and lb to be successively attached are formed in the holder.

Then, the upright plate part 1e with the cushioning material 2 of the first connecting piece 1a fitted and held therein is inserted into the engaging part 1f of the second connecting piece 1b through the space 3 so as not to be in contact with each other, and both the raised plate parts 1c is fixed to the flange 5 around the open part of the pump chamber C surrounding the side wall 8 on the side of the water tank main body A via connecting bolts 6a and 6b with the sealing material 11 sandwiched therebetween.

Further, for example, the tips of the rear first and second connecting pieces 1a and lb are fitted into the fitting protrusions 9 of the first and second connecting pieces 1a and lb, and the other ends which do not have the fitting protrusions 9 are fitted. 1st and 2nd in front
The connecting pieces 1a and 1b are fitted into the fitting protrusions 9, and both are tightened and fixed, respectively, via a sealing material.

Then, they are successively connected in a continuous manner to surround the adjacent gap 7.

At that time, the first and second connection pieces 1a corresponding to the corner 12
, lb are provided with fitting protrusions 9 protruding from both ends.

Then, it is installed on the pedestal E in the pump chamber C, and the suction pipe 13 is
Even if the suction pump F, which has the suction pipe 14 protruding from the pump chamber C, is operated, the connection plate 1 covering the proximity gap 7 will connect the rainwater tank body A and the pump chamber C. Even though they are integrally connected, the vibrations are damped through the cushion material 2 and the space 3.

Further, since the connecting plate 1 connects the first and second connecting pieces 1a and lb in a roof-like manner, and has the upright plate part 1e inserted into the retaining part 1f, there is no fear of rainwater entering.

Note that even if the cushioning material 2 is not fitted and held on the upright plate part 1e of the first connecting piece 1a, the upright plate part 1e can be used as it is in the second connecting piece 1.
It is sufficient to simply insert the first connecting piece 1a into which the cushioning material 2 is fitted into the retaining portion 1f of the retaining portion 1f of the second connecting piece 1b. Part 1
Even if they are inserted so that they are in contact with each other within F, the buffering function of damping the vibrations of the suction pump F will not be impaired.

Furthermore, although the water tank main body A and the pump chamber C in the illustrated example are constructed by assembling unit panels 4, they are connected to a normal water tank and pump room that have been constructed in advance at a factory or the like using the connection plate 1. Of course.

The present invention consists of an aquarium main body and a partially open pump chamber corresponding to one side wall of the aquarium main body, and the aquarium main body and the pump chamber are arranged side by side in close proximity. The two are connected to each other by a connecting plate that protrudes from the chamber, and there is a cushion material or space, or both, interposed between the connecting portion, so that even when the pump in the pump chamber is operated, the vibrations are absorbed by the cushion material. It is buffered through the space and does not reach the aquarium body.

Therefore, the water tank with a pump chamber can be made to withstand long-term use without applying excessive force to the panel joints, set screws, etc. due to the vibration.

Further, since the pump chamber is formed by opening a part corresponding to one side wall of the water tank main body, the wall plate of that part is made of wood, which can reduce the cost.

Furthermore, compared to the conventional system in which the tank main body and the pump chamber are installed separately, the length of the suction pipe can be extremely short, and the cost can be further reduced.
