TANK MOUNTING STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18392031 titled 'TANK MOUNTING STRUCTURE
The tank mounting structure described in the patent application consists of multiple tanks mounted on a frame in a width-aligned manner, with mounting structures at both ends of the frame supporting each tank. The tanks have a first neck on one side and a second neck on the other side, with the first neck fixed to the frame and the second neck supported by a movable mounting structure, allowing for axial movement of the tank.
- Tanks are aligned in the width direction on a frame.
- Tanks have first and second necks for support and movement.
- First necks are fixed to the frame, while second necks are movable.
- Adjacent tanks have alternating fixed first necks on the frame.
Potential Applications: - Industrial storage tanks - Agricultural irrigation systems - Water treatment facilities
Problems Solved: - Efficient tank mounting and support - Flexibility for tank expansion and contraction
Benefits: - Space-saving design - Easy maintenance access - Versatile applications in various industries
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Tank Mounting Structure for Industrial and Agricultural Use This technology can be used in industrial settings for storage tanks and in agricultural applications for irrigation systems, offering a reliable and flexible solution for tank mounting needs.
Questions about Tank Mounting Structure: 1. How does the tank mounting structure improve efficiency in industrial applications? The tank mounting structure streamlines the process of installing and maintaining tanks in industrial settings, saving time and resources.
2. What are the advantages of having movable second necks on the tanks? The movable second necks allow for expansion and contraction of the tanks, accommodating changes in volume without compromising structural integrity.
Original Abstract Submitted
The tank mounting structure includes a plurality of tanks, a frame on which the plurality of tanks are mounted in a state of being aligned in the width direction, and a plurality of mounting structures that are fixed to both end portions of the frame in the axial direction and support each tank. The tank has a first neck arranged on one side in the axial direction and a second neck arranged on the other side. The first neck is fixed to the frame via the first mounting structure. The second neck is supported by the frame via a second mounting structure and is movable in the axial direction by expansion or contraction of the tank. The first necks of adjacent tanks are alternately fixed to the end portions of the frame in the axial direction.
