RU225199U1 - RESERVOIR FOR VENDING IMPORTED DRINKING WATER - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to imported aquavending, i.e. to vending machines for imported drinking water through automatically controlled dispensing of this water into the water buyer’s container. The technical problem lies in the need to combine two functions in one tank: the function of a storage tank for drinking water, directly intended for sale, and the function of a settling tank for removing accompanying inclusions (solid particles) from said drinking water and with periodic discharge of settling water into the sewer. The technical result consists in the functional division of water inside the vessel (volume) of the tank into two zones: an upper zone with water for the specified vending and a lower settling zone, including at least a funnel. In this case, this functional separation is carried out according to the conditional zero water level in the vessel, specified by the position of the primary water pressure converter into an analog DC signal. The reservoir for vending imported drinking water contains a vessel 1 for imported water, a funnel 2 for draining water from this vessel, connected by its socket to this vessel in its lower part, a drainage pipe 3 with a controlled drain valve 4 installed at the outlet of this funnel 2, the outlet branch pipe 5 with a controlled outlet valve 6. In this case, the branch pipe 5 is installed on the side wall of the vessel 1 in its lower part and above the bell of the funnel 2. The tank also contains a primary converter 7 of water pressure into an analog electrical signal, installed on the vessel 1 in its lower part outside the internal space of the vessel 1 and ensuring constant hydraulic connection of this converter 7 with the internal space of the vessel 1. 1 ill.

Description

The utility model relates to imported aquavending, i.e. to vending machines for imported drinking water by dispensing this water from the appropriate tank, periodically filled with this water, into the container of the water buyer.

A known tank for vending imported drinking water (prototype), which contains a corresponding vessel, a funnel for draining water from this vessel, connected by its socket to this vessel in its lower part, a drainage pipe with a corresponding controlled valve installed at the outlet of this funnel, and a drain a branch pipe with a corresponding controlled valve installed on the side wall of the vessel in its lower part and above the funnel socket (see description of the utility model according to patent RU No. 68467 U1, IPC B65D 8/04, E03B 11/02, published 11/27/2007 Bulletin no. 33, patent holder LLC “Multi-industry enterprise Complex 1”, RU).

The features of a known tank (prototype), common to the features of the claimed technical solution, are the presence of a vessel, a funnel for draining water from this vessel, connected by its socket to this vessel in its lower part, a drainage pipe with a corresponding controlled valve installed at the outlet of this funnel , and a drain pipe with a corresponding controlled valve installed on the side wall of the vessel in its lower part and above the funnel socket.

The reason that prevents the known vessel from obtaining the technical result that is provided by the technical solution claimed for patenting is that it does not have the function of a water sump, as well as the lack of continuous monitoring of the water level using a means located outside the internal space of the vessel.

The technical problem to be solved by the patented technical solution is the need to combine two functions in one tank: the function of a storage tank for drinking water directly intended for sale, and the function of a settling tank for removing accompanying inclusions (solid particles) from said drinking water and with periodic discharge of sludge water into the sewer system.

The technical result that mediates the solution to this technical problem lies in the functional division of water inside the vessel (volume) of the tank into two zones: an upper zone with water for the specified vending and a lower settling zone, including at least a funnel and intended for settling water, periodically discharged into the sewer through this funnel. In this case, this functional separation is carried out according to the conditional zero water level in the reservoir vessel, specified by the position of the primary water pressure converter into an analog DC signal along the vertical dimension of the vessel and ensured by the operation of the controller, which continuously receives this DC signal from this converter.

The technical result is achieved in that the reservoir for vending imported drinking water contains a vessel 1 for imported water, a funnel 2 for draining water from this vessel, connected by its socket to this vessel in its lower part, a drainage pipe 3 with a corresponding controlled drainage valve 4 installed at the outlet of this funnel 2, an outlet pipe 5 with a corresponding controlled outlet valve 6, installed on the side wall of the vessel 1 in its lower part and above the bell of the funnel 2, as well as a primary water pressure converter 7 into an analog electrical signal installed on the vessel 1 in its the lower part outside the internal space of the vessel 1 and ensuring constant hydraulic connection of this converter 7 with the internal space of the vessel 1.

The attached figure (without a number) shows a schematic (in vertical cross section) image of a vessel 1 with a funnel 2 of the claimed tank with a functional division of the volume of water in the vessel 1 into two zones - the upper zone 9 for water directly intended for sale (vending), and a lower settling zone 10 for settling water, as well as technical means 3-8 providing this functional separation.

A reservoir for vending imported drinking water contains a vessel 1 for imported water, a funnel 2 installed in the lower part of the vessel 1 to drain water from the vessel 1 (i.e. funnel 2 is the bottom of the vessel 1, but is considered here as a separate structural element of the tank , hydraulically connected to the vessel 1), drainage pipe 3 with a controlled drain valve 4, outlet pipe 5 with a controlled outlet valve 6, primary water pressure converter 7 into an analog electrical signal, tee 8. In this case, the internal space of the vessel 1 and funnel 2 (t .i.e., the volume of water in vessel 1 and funnel 2) is functionally divided into two zones (i.e., divided only by water in vessel 1 and funnel 2 and without the use of any mechanical partition): upper zone 9 for water, directly intended for its sale by issuing it to the buyer of water through the outlet pipe 5 and the open valve 6 into the water buyer's container (the container is not shown), and the lower settling zone 10 with the possibility of draining the settling water contained in it through the drain pipe 3 installed on the narrow end (outlet) of the funnel 2, and an open drain valve 4, connected to the gap of the pipe 3. Moreover, this separation is carried out by a controller (not shown), the input of which is connected to the output of the primary converter 7, and the controller outputs are connected to the control inputs of valves 4 and 6 , so he (the controller) carries out this division according to the conditional zero level 11 of water in vessel 1, specified by the position of the primary transducer 7 along the vertical dimension of vessel 1 (note: valve 4 can be manually controlled, which does not require its mandatory connection to the controller). In this case, this converter 7 is hydraulically permanently connected to the pipe 5 through a tee 8 and is mechanically fixed to the free end of this tee 8, which ensures a hydraulic connection of the converter 7 with the water inside the vessel 1 at the conditional zero level 11.

The functioning of the reservoir is as follows.

Drinking water prepared in advance and outside the kiosk, using a car equipped with a water tank, is brought to the kiosk having a previously empty vessel 1, and this water is pumped from this tank into this empty vessel 1 until it is completely filled, controlled using a converter 7 and controller associated with it. In this case, valves 4 and 6 are closed. Then the water in vessel 1 is sold in its zone 9, and for this purpose this water is taken from approximately level 11, i.e. from the lower level of this zone 9 through pipe 5 and valve 6, which is opened for this by the controller for a time specified by the controller. During these sales, the water in vessel 1 settles, so that the undesirable inclusions present in it settle under their own weight, falling into the settling zone 10, in which settling water is thereby formed, which is not subject to sale, but must be discharged into the sewer through pipe 3.

As water is sold, the controller, using an analog electrical signal from the output of the converter 7, continuously monitors the actual water level in vessel 1 and funnel 2. And just when this actual water level, gradually decreasing during the sales process, reaches a conditional zero in its decline level 11, the controller blocks sales. After this, the controller opens valve 4 and thereby discharges settling water from zone 10 through pipe 3 into the sewer, and also, if necessary, carries out control flushing of zones 9 and 10 by supplying flush water to vessel 1 from above while simultaneously releasing it from vessel 1 through funnel 2 and pipe 3. In this case, the effectiveness of the said discharge and flushing is ensured by the relatively high flow rate of water from vessel 1, due to the corresponding taper of funnel 2.

Then the drinking water, prepared in advance and outside the kiosk, is again brought to the kiosk with the help of a car equipped with a water tank, the vessel 1 of which has again become empty, and the cycle is repeated.
