Abstract
A self-weighted water tank device for a solar energy system includes a plurality of water tanks to construct a water tank module for securing the whole system. A passage is configured between the water tanks of the module. The passage is at a certain highness of the tanks such that the water collected in the tanks can be maintained at a certain level. The water in the tank module can provide as a water supply source to provide water to satisfy the water demand of the demand side.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A self-weighted water tank device for a solar energy system comprising:
a supporting body; a solar panel installed on the supporting body upper part; and a water tank module comprising a plurality of water tanks, wherein the water tank comprises a lower part and an outer wall with a plurality of the engaging parts formed thereon for engaging the water tanks with each other, wherein the outer wall is an upward extension of the lower part; wherein the supporting body is coupled to the water tank module and the solar energy system is secured by the self-weight of the water tank generated by injected water into water tanks
2 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting body is constructed from a plurality of supporting frames.
3 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the engaging parts are locking holes which are bolted with a connection part by bolts to couple the water tanks
4 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the engaging parts comprise a tenon part and a mortise part on the outer wall of the water tank, the tenon part and the mortise part can be joined to couple the water tanks
5 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the water tank lower part is positioned on ground, the supporting body is constructed on the outer wall of the water tank and coupled with the water tank module.
6 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the supporting body is positioned on a base which is positioned on ground, the lower part of the water tank is positioned on the base to integrate the supporting body and the water tank module.
7 . The device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the outer wall of the water tank comprises a connecting part, the supporting body is coupled to the water tank module by the connecting part.
8 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the water tank upper part comprises an upper cover.
9 . The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the water tanks communicates with each other by a passage in between, the passage is installed at a certain height above the lower part of the water tank.
10 . The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the passage consisted of a tube and tube hole is configured at the opposite outer walls of the water tanks
11 . The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the passage is configured by a plurality of tube holes which are at corresponding position on the opposite outer walls of the water tanks and a tube disposed in the corresponding tube holes.
12 . The device as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising a stopper which plugs the passages or tube holes.
13 . The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a injection inlet and drainage outlet are formed on the outer wall of the water tanks and the injection inlet is at a certain height and the drainage outlet is at a height lower than the injection inlet.
14 . The device as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the injection inlet is connected to a water supply pipe of an automatic water supply.
15 . The device as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the drain outlet is connected to a drain pipe.
16 . The device as claimed in claim 13 , further comprising a stopper to plug the injection inlet or the drain hole.
17 . The device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a water-supplying outlet 39 is configured on the outer wall of the water tank at a height equal to or higher than the certain height of the passage and the water-supplying outlet is connected to a water-supplying tube to conduct the water in the water tank to flow to a demand side.
18 . The device as claimed in claim 17 , wherein the demand side can be a farm, ranch or fish farm adjacent to the supporting body.
19 . The device as claimed in claim 17 , further comprising a stopper to plug the water-supplying outlet.
20 . A self-weighted water tank device for a solar energy system comprising:
a supporting body; a solar panel installed on the upper part of a upper cover; and a water tank module comprising a plurality of water tanks, wherein the water tank comprises a lower part positioned on ground, an outer wall with a plurality of the engaging parts formed thereon for engaging the water tanks with each other and an upper cover engaging with the upper part of the outer wall, wherein the outer wall is an upward extension of the lower part;
wherein the solar energy system is secured by the self-weight of the water tank generated from the water injected into water tanks
21 . The device as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the engaging parts are locking holes which are bolted with a connection part by bolts to couple the water tanks.
22 . The device as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the engaging parts comprise a tenon part and a mortise part on the outer wall of the water tank, the tenon part and the mortise part can be joined to couple the water tanks.
23 . The device as claimed in claim 20 , wherein the water tanks communicates with each other by a passage in between, the passage is installed at a certain height above the lower part of the water tank.
24 . The device as claimed in claim 23 , wherein the passage consisted of a tube and tube hole is configured at the opposite outer walls of the water tanks
25 . The device as claimed in claim 23 , wherein the passage is configured by a plurality of tube holes which are at corresponding position on the opposite outer walls of the water tanks and a tube disposed in the corresponding tube holes.
26 . The device as claimed in claim 23 , further comprising a stopper which plugs the passages or tube holes.
27 . The device as claimed in claim 23 , wherein a injection inlet and drainage outlet are formed on the outer wall of the water tanks and the injection inlet is at a certain height and the drainage outlet is at a height lower than the injection inlet.
28 . The device as claimed in claim 27 , wherein the injection inlet is connected to a water supply pipe of an automatic water supply.
29 . The device as claimed in claim 27 , wherein the drain outlet is connected to a drain pipe.
30 . The device as claimed in claim 27 , further comprising a stopper to plug the injection inlet or the drain hole.
31 . The device as claimed in claim 23 , wherein a water-supplying outlet 39 is configured on the outer wall of the water tank at a height equal to or higher than the certain height of the passage and the water-supplying outlet is connected to a water-supplying tube to conduct the water in the water tank to flow to a demand side.
32 . The device as claimed in claim 31 , wherein the demand side can be a farm, ranch or fish farm adjacent to the supporting body.
33 . The device as claimed in claim 31 , further comprising a stopper to plug the water-supplying outlet.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
