Abstract
The present invention relates to a curve-combined square pressure tank with which curves are combined so as to maintain internal high pressure, improve space efficiency, and reduce the weight thereof, and to a pressure tank, in which planes and curves are combined, formed by connecting flat plate members and curved members, having a plurality of aligned tension members for connecting the flat plate members facing each other, and having stress buffer parts formed at connection parts of the flat plate members and the curved members so as to enable internal pressure to be maintained.
Claims6
A curve-combined square pressure tank for accommodating a fluid at high pressure therein, the pressure tank comprising:
- a first pair of flat members disposed at upper and lower portions of the pressure tank;
- a second pair of flat members disposed at side portions of the pressure tank;
- a first curved member that connects edges of the first pair of flat members disposed at the upper portion and is formed with predetermined curvature;
- a second curved member that connects edges of the first pair of flat members and part of the second pair of flat members and is formed with predetermined curvature;
- and
- a third curved member that connects that connects edges of the first curved member and part of the second pair of flat members and is formed with predetermined curvature;
- wherein the curve-combined square pressure tank comprises stress-buffer portions formed therein to prevent stress discontinuity at a connection portion, and wherein the curve-combined square pressure tank includes a plurality of tension members disposed between the first pair of flat members and the second pair of flat members, and,
- wherein the outermost tension member among the plurality of tension members is spaced apart from a boundary (P) at which the first curved member and the flat member contact each other by a constant distance (d) toward the flat member to form the stress-buffer portion.
