Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention is for a prefabricated aquarium (hereinafter simply referred to as a water tank) which is used to form the bottom wall of a prefabricated aquarium (hereinafter simply referred to as an aquarium) and a house ceiling with good rain protection. This relates to a unit panel (hereinafter simply referred to as a panel).

[Prior art and its problems] Conventionally, when assembling an aquarium, there has been no panel that can be used both as a bottom wall and as a roof that provides good rain protection. In addition, conventional bottom wall panels have a pressure receiving surface that protrudes from the center of the plane, and have slopes that slope downward from this protruding pressure receiving surface toward each of the four circumferential sides of the panel, making the entire panel a shallow box. It was a state of affairs. The reason why the panel is provided with an inclined surface is as follows. In other words, the surface of the main body of the panel originally had a flat shape, and the residual water in a water tank assembled with this type of panel is discharged by intervening between the panels and using the vertical and horizontal lines of the bottom wall. Since the drainage function was not satisfactory because the drain was only drained by a groove extending from the bottom, the sloped surface was provided to compensate for the lack of drainage function. However, the drainage effect was still not sufficient.

This type of aquarium is required to be inspected and cleaned regularly, but it is extremely inconvenient for the customers if the water is cut off every time the tank is inspected and cleaned. In order to create a water tank that can be inspected and cleaned without a water outage, a partition wall is installed to divide the inside of the tank into multiple chambers, draining only the room where inspection and cleaning will be carried out, and as the inspection and cleaning room is moved. The aquarium must have a structure that allows the stored water to be transferred to other rooms one after another. To assemble an aquarium with this type of structure, you need to use a panel that has a mounting part that allows a partition wall to be erected in addition to the normal panel, or a panel that has a mounting part that corresponds to the mounting part of the partition wall. It was necessary to prepare irregularly shaped panels in which one half-cut panel was provided with a mounting portion with a modified pressure-receiving surface, and the other half-cut panel was provided with a protrusion similar to the conventional one. Needless to say, it would be extremely inconvenient to assemble an aquarium using panels of such different shapes.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks of panels, and can be used in the assembly of bottom walls and roof ceilings to enhance their drainage function, and is particularly suitable for use in the assembly of bottom walls and installation of partition walls, and is also suitable for use during manufacturing. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a panel that exhibits many excellent effects during aquarium assembly and subsequent inspection and cleaning.

[Problem Solving Means and Its Effects] A means for solving the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks is that upright edges including a pair of opposing upright edges maintaining a height relationship are provided around the four peripheries of the right-angled quadrilateral; Each of a pair of opposed upright edges has a
A flat portion having an appropriate width that is directly orthogonal to the upright edge or directed inward is provided, and an inclined plane connecting the flat portions is provided between the flat portions that face each other while maintaining the height relationship. , a panel (hereinafter referred to as the "present panel") has been devised in which a central bulge with a gentle slope is provided on the upper surface of the inclined plane to reduce the ratio of the area occupied by the inclined plane.

The proposed panel with the above measures is used for assembling the bottom wall of the aquarium and the ceiling of the house, so it is possible to reduce the number of types of panels required for assembling the aquarium, thereby reducing costs in manufacturing the panels and assembling the aquarium. It can be useful for reducing the amount of waste and simplifying inventory management and distribution management. In particular, the low flat part of the proposed panel contributes to improving the drainage function whether it is used for the bottom wall or the roof ceiling, and the high flat part is used for the bottom wall and contributes to the stable establishment of the middle partition panel. Both the low level flat part and the inclined plane are used as convenient work passages during the aquarium assembly and subsequent inspection and cleaning, contributing to the smooth execution of each task.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the proposed panel. To first outline the common parts of the proposed panel in the same figure, the shape in plan view is a right angled quadrilateral, surrounded by upright edges on all four sides, and a central bulge shaped like a truncated pyramid in the center. One point that can be mentioned is that the outlet part 2 is provided. However, panel 1 of the merits
In terms of its structure, it has features that are significantly different from conventional panels. The first is that among the four circumferential upright edges, a high upright edge 3a with a high height and a low upright edge 3b with a low height are placed opposite each other as a set. The high upright edge 3a and the low upright edge 3b, which face each other in a relationship, are provided with a high flat part 4 and a low flat part 5, each having an appropriate width and facing inward and directly orthogonal to each other. 3 is provided with an inclined plane 6 connecting each other between a high level flat part 4 and a low level flat part 5 which face each other while maintaining a height relationship, and a central bulge part 2 with a gentle slope is provided on the upper surface of the inclined plane 6. This is because the ratio of the area occupied by the inclined plane 6 is reduced. As can be seen from the above features, the board surface, which is the main body of the panel 1, has no steeply undulating parts or corners. And this is the fourth feature point. Note that the height of the lower upright edge 3b is approximately the same as the height of the upright edge of a panel commonly used in the past, and
Each width shall be approximately equal to the height of the lower upright edge. In the following, when it is necessary to indicate another set of upright edges connecting one set of higher upright edges 3a and lower upright edges 3b,
This will be referred to as a sloped upright edge.

In order to form a bottom wall of an aquarium by combining a large number of the panels 1 of the present invention having such a configuration, the lower upright edges 3b are butted together, the sloped upright edges are also abutted, and the higher upright edges 3a are similarly abutted against each other. Also match and arrange. If a large number of panels 1 arranged in this manner are connected, the result will be as shown in FIG. 2. In the bottom wall shown in FIG. 2, the part where the low flat part 5 of the panel 1 continues forms a water collection groove 7, and the part where the high flat part 4 continues forms a ridge-like continuous zone. When draining a water tank formed with such a bottom wall, the water flows down from the central bulge 2 to the surrounding area, and the water in the high level flat part 4 flows extremely smoothly into the water collection groove 7 via the inclined plane 6. Can be collected. If this water collection groove 7 is connected to a drainage port (not shown), a reliable drainage effect can be obtained. Even if the bottom wall area of the water tank is wide, multiple water collection grooves 7 can be arranged logically and systematically, so the downstream end of each water collection groove 7 can be connected to one drainage port ( (not shown), so drainage work during cleaning etc. can be carried out efficiently. In addition, in the case of the water tank during water storage, the inclined plane 6 whose area ratio is reduced due to the installation of the central bulge 2 reduces the concentration of hydraulic stress on the water collection groove 7. In addition, since the continuous ridge-like band of continuous high flat parts 4 forms a horizontal plane, when the partition panel 8 for dividing the tank is installed upright, the upright edge 9 of the partition panel 8 can be kept in an extremely stable state. Can be installed with. In addition, there is no need for the inconvenience that occurs when using various odd-shaped panels to erect the partition panel 8. In addition, a panel for the outer wall of the aquarium may be erected where the ridge-like continuous band formed by the high flat portion 4 faces the outer periphery of the bottom wall. Further, if necessary, it is also possible to erect a partition panel 8 along the water collection groove 7.

Furthermore, when assembling the aquarium, workers must frequently walk over the bottom wall carrying necessary parts and tools, but in that case, the high flat side 4, the low flat part 5, and the main panel 1 must be moved between each other. When the two central bulges 2 are brought together, the inclined plane 6 interposed between the central bulges 2 is
Both are good routes. Moreover, the bottom wall formed by the proposed panel 1 does not have any steeply undulating parts or crooked corners that would impede walking, so workers will not trip over it. It can contribute to safe work and improved work efficiency.

An example of a house ceiling assembled using the panel 1 of this invention is shown in FIG. 3. For convenience of explanation, FIG. 3 shows a case in which a water diversion ridge section is provided on the longitudinal center line of a rectangular ceiling. This is done by arranging a set of two original panels 1, 1 in which the high flat parts 4, 4 are joined flush with each other parallel to the short side direction of the ceiling, with the high flat parts 4, 4 being aligned on the longitudinal center line. They may be positioned and arranged in sequence. Then, the ridge-like continuous band formed by the continuous high flat parts 4, 4, etc. will form the central watershed part of the ceiling, the continuous part of the low flat parts 5 will form the eave part, and the entire ceiling will be gentle. It has the feel of a house-shaped ceiling with a steep slope. In addition,
In FIG. 3, 10 is a lid that is opened and closed when inspecting the inside of the aquarium. The house-shaped ceiling assembled in this manner can effectively drain rainwater and remove dust, etc., and can exhibit extremely excellent ceiling functions. When a ceiling is assembled with conventional panels, the entire ceiling is just a flat surface, and in order to function as a ceiling, it must be sloped, which requires intervening spacers, beams, etc. A large number of parts are required,
The assembly work was also difficult, which inevitably led to an increase in costs. However, the merits panel 1
When using this method, the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional method can be significantly improved. If the ceiling area of the water tank is wide, multiple rows of water diversion ridges may be provided, and a water collection groove may be provided between the water diversion ridges. In addition, since the part where the upright edges are butt-joined has a high strength, if that part is supported by partition walls or pillars installed inside the tank, the watershed building can be built without the need for separate scaffolding. The eaves and water collection grooves can withstand traffic for work, and there are no sharp undulations or corners on the top of the ceiling, so you can walk around safely.

[Effects of the invention] Since the proposed panel is as described above, the manufacturing of the panel itself, the assembly work of the aquarium using it, the structure of the assembled aquarium, and the regular inspection and cleaning work after the use of the aquarium have all been completed. Although it has many excellent effects, the main ones are listed below.

This panel can be used for both the bottom wall of the aquarium and the ceiling of the house, reducing the number of types of panels required for assembling the aquarium.
It can be used to reduce costs and simplify inventory management and distribution management in panel manufacturing and aquarium assembly.

When assembling the bottom wall of the aquarium, the low flat parts of the systematically arranged panels can form an orderly water collection groove, which facilitates the drainage function during inspection and cleaning of the aquarium, and The total work time required for cleaning can be significantly shortened. Moreover, this effect is more pronounced as the area of the bottom wall becomes wider.

When assembling the ceiling of an aquarium, the high flat parts of the systematically arranged panels can form a logical water division part on the ceiling, and the low flat parts can similarly form the eaves and water collection grooves. The roof can be made into a house-shaped ceiling with good rain protection without using extra auxiliary members. A house-shaped ceiling that effectively shuts off rain reliably prevents rainwater from entering, which can cause contamination of water stored in the aquarium. Moreover, this effect is
The larger the ceiling area, the more noticeable this is.

The ridge-like continuous band formed on the bottom wall by the high flat part of the proposed panel has excellent strength and is flat, so it can be used to stabilize the partition panel for partition walls in compartments to avoid water cut-offs throughout the tank during inspection and cleaning. The partition wall can also be used to stably support the ceiling.

The area of the inclined plane of the proposed panel is reduced by installing the central bulge, which reduces stress caused by water pressure during water storage from concentrating on the water collection groove, improving the pressure resistance of the entire bottom wall. This also contributes to the prevention of water leakage accidents.

Water collection grooves formed on the bottom wall of the aquarium and the roof of the house, continuous ridge-like zones, water diversion ridges, eaves, and sloping planes are
Since it can be used as a convenient work passage, it contributes to improving work efficiency during aquarium assembly and subsequent inspection and cleaning.
