Abstract
Provided is a pressure tank having a lattice structure, including: a tank body that has a high-pressure fluid accommodated therein and is manufactured to have a prismatic shape; and cell structures that are disposed in the prismatic tank body, are manufactured in a lattice form, arrive from one side wall of the tank body to the other side wall thereof facing it, and are orthogonally arranged regularly.
Claims12
A pressure tank having a lattice structure, comprising:
- a tank body that has a high-pressure fluid accommodated therein and has a prismatic shape;
- and
- cell structures that are disposed in the tank body, have a lattice form, arrive from a first side wall of the tank body to a second side wall thereof facing the first side wall, and are orthogonally arranged,
- wherein the cell structures include beam surface structures having flat cell walls that arrive from the first side wall of the tank body to the second side wall thereof facing the first side wall and are orthogonally arranged to intersect with each other and cell beams that are positioned at a point at which the cell walls intersect each other,
- wherein the cell beams are branching type cell beams,
- wherein the branching type cell beams include beams that extend in a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system (X, Y, and Z) structure, and
- wherein the cell beams are circular cell beams each having circular sections, or diamond-shaped cell beams each having diamond-shaped sections and corners of the diamond-shaped cell beams contact the cell walls.
