Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




The present invention relates to a water transporting device which can transport water to a water tower. More particularly, the present invention relates to a water transporting device which can save energy while a water tower is located very high.




A conventional water transporting device has a water pipe connected to a water tank and a water tower. However, the conventional water transporting device needs three motors when the water tower is located very high.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




A main object of the present invention is to provide a water transporting device which can save energy efficiently while a water tower is located very high.




Another object of the present invention is to provide a water transporting device which can transport water to a water tower easily.




Accordingly, a water transporting device comprises a sealed water tank, a water channel device, and a pressure reduction tank. The water channel device has a lowest sealed water box, a plurality of sealed water boxes, a highest sealed water box, a plurality of chambers between two of the sealed water boxes, and a plurality of connection pipes. Each of the connection pipes is connected to two of the sealed water boxes. Each of the connection pipes has a water outlet hole in one of the sealed water boxes. An upper end of each connection pipe receives a threaded plug. A washer is disposed between the connection pipe and the threaded plug. A first air exhaust tube is disposed on a top portion of the sealed water tank. An upper end of the first air exhaust tube receives a first cotter bolt. A water inlet tube is connected to the sealed water tank. A first solenoid valve is disposed on the water inlet tube. A water outlet tube is connected to the sealed water tank and the lowest sealed water box. A second solenoid valve is disposed on the water outlet tube. The water outlet tube has a water outlet aperture in the lowest sealed water box. An upper end of the water outlet tube receives a second cotter bolt. A connection tube is connected to the pressure reduction tank and the highest sealed water box. A water outlet pipe is connected to the pressure reduction tank. A third solenoid valve is disposed on the water outlet pipe. The pressure reduction tank has a main body, a gasket disposed on the main body, and an upper cover covering the main body. The upper cover has a lower collar inserted in the main body. A second air exhaust tube is disposed on a top portion of the highest sealed water box. A third air exhaust tube is disposed on a top portion of the upper cover. An upper end of the third air exhaust tube receives a third cotter bolt.

21


, a plurality of chambers


23


between two of the sealed water boxes


21


, and a plurality of connection pipes


22


.




Each of the connection pipes


22


is connected to two of the sealed water boxes


21


. Each of the connection pipes


22


has a water outlet hole


221


in one of the sealed water boxes


21


. An upper end of each connection pipe


22


receives a threaded plug


24


. A washer


220


is disposed between the connection pipe


22


and the threaded plug


24


.




A first air exhaust tube


13


is disposed on a top portion of the sealed water tank


10


. An upper end of the first air exhaust tube


13


receives a first cotter bolt


14


.




A water inlet tube


11


is connected to the sealed water tank


10


. A first solenoid valve


110


is disposed on the water inlet tube
