Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a column that supports the ceiling of a panel assembly type tank.

(Prior art) Recently, a rectangular pressure-receiving surface is provided with a joining edge,
Panel-assembly type aquariums, which are constructed by connecting a plurality of unit panels 2, 2, etc. made of synthetic resin such as FRP to form the bottom, side walls, and ceiling, have been widely used. However, in a panel-assembled aquarium with a large base area, the weight of the roof itself becomes large.
In addition, in panel-assembled aquariums installed outdoors in regions with heavy snowfall, the weight of snow falls on the roof, making it difficult to keep the roof of the aquarium level. In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, as shown in FIG. 1, a method has often been used in which a support column 8 is raised from the bottom of the tank to support the ceiling.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, this method has the disadvantage that when the height of the aquarium is high, extremely thick supports must be used in order to maintain the buckling strength of the supports, making them expensive. Ta. Another problem was that the lower part of the support got in the way when cleaning the inside of the aquarium.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the purpose is to provide an inexpensive support mounting structure for a panel assembly type aquarium that does not get in the way when cleaning the inside of the aquarium, has strong buckling strength to support the roof, and is inexpensive. That is.

[Means for solving problems]

The structure of the present invention to achieve the above object will be explained using FIGS. 1 to 3 corresponding to the embodiment. Aquarium 1 by connecting multiple panels 2
2 between the opposing side walls inside the water tank 1.
A flat steel stay 4, 4 or 4' consisting of one set,
In a panel assembly type aquarium 1 in which stays 4, 4, 4', and 4' are installed at a plurality of locations orthogonally within the aquarium 1, the stays 4' are fitted to the joining edge of the unit panel 2 of the ceiling wall at the upper part. A support 8 is attached to the ceiling wall and the stay 4. 4, 4', and a technical means installed vertically between 4'.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

1 has joining edges around the four peripheries of the rectangular pressure-receiving surface.
A plurality of unit panels 2, 2... integrally formed from synthetic resin such as FRP are fastened together with bolts and nuts through gaskets with the joining edges facing outward to form the bottom and side walls, and also to form the bottom and side walls. This is a panel assembly type aquarium in which unit panels 2, 2... are assembled with connecting edges facing inward and fastened with bolts and nuts via gaskets to form a ceiling wall. In FIG. 1, 3 or 3' denotes two unit panels 2, upper and lower, symmetrical to the point where the four opposing unit panels 2, 2, 2, 2 meet at one point inside the opposing side walls. 2 fixed with bolts etc. across the 2 corners
A set of stay seats with an L-shaped cross section, 4, 4
is a set of two stay seats 3, 3 facing each other in one direction.
These are two parallel stays that are stretched between them to prevent the tank from expanding, and are made of metal plates. 4, 4 are stretched between the opposing stay seats of the unit panels 2, 2 on the side perpendicular to the stay seats 3, 3, and are orthogonal to the stay seats 4, 4, with their intersection points superposed. It is a parallel stay of books. 8
is a support made of metal or synthetic resin, and the upper part has four unit panels 2 of the ceiling,
The corners of 2, 2, 2 have a cross-shaped notch locking part 5 that fits four joining edges that meet at one point, and the lower part is perpendicular to the stays 4, 4 and 4 with different steps. 4', 4', two sets of orthogonal fitting grooves 6 with different heights and 180 degree angles;
Fixing pieces 7, 7 having 6 are provided.

That is, in order to attach the column 8 of the present invention to a panel assembly type tank, the column 8 is passed between the four stays 4, 4 and 4', 4' with orthogonal steps and the ceiling, and the column 8 above the column 8 is installed. The cross-shaped locking part 5 is connected to the corner of the four unit panels 2, 2, 2, 2 at one point 4
The fitting grooves 6 of the two pairs of fixing pieces 7, 7 that are 180 degrees different from each other below the pillar 8,
Stays 4, 4 that are orthogonal to 6, 6, 6 and have a step
and 4', 4'.

Note that a plurality of supports may be provided depending on the size of the roof, weather conditions, etc.

In particular, the pillar mounting structure in the above embodiment is provided with two pairs of fixing pieces having fitting grooves that fit into the four stays perpendicular to the bottom of the pillar, so that the stress caused by an earthquake or the like can be applied in any direction. Even if it hangs from 2
The pair of orthogonal fitting grooves prevents the strut from coming off.

[Effect of idea]

In this invention, a water tank is formed by connecting a plurality of unit panels with joining edges provided on the four circumferences of a rectangular pressure-receiving surface, and a set of two flat steel panels is connected between opposing side walls inside the water tank. In a panel-assembled aquarium in which the stays are installed at multiple locations orthogonally within the aquarium, there are two sets of locking parts on the upper part that fit into the unit panel joining edges of the ceiling wall and two sets of stays orthogonal on the lower part. Since the strut is installed between the ceiling wall and the stay and has a fixing piece with a fitting groove that fits into the stay, the length of the strut can be shortened, it can be manufactured at low cost, and the length of the strut can be reduced. Strength can be further improved by distributing buckling stress from the four stays to the wall surface. Also, since there are no supports on the bottom wall of the aquarium, cleaning becomes easier.
