A
chemical storage tank cleaning device comprises a crawler trolley, a swing mechanism, an
auger and a jacking mechanism, the swing mechanism is rotationally arranged at the top of the crawler trolley, the side wall, close to the
tail, of the
auger is hinged to the swing mechanism in the X-axis direction, and the jacking mechanism is fixedly arranged on the swing mechanism in the Z-axis direction; the jacking mechanism is connected with the bottom close to the head end of the
auger, and the jacking mechanism moves up and down along the Z axis so as to drive the auger to do pitching motion around the X axis; a driving part for providing power is arranged at the
tail end of the packing auger, the driving part, the rotating mechanism, the jacking mechanism and the crawler trolley are all connected with a
remote control device, and the
remote control device controls the driving part, the jacking mechanism, the crawler trolley and the jacking mechanism to be linked, so that the packing auger enters the
chemical storage tank along the manhole for
solid waste cleaning. The invention further provides a
chemical storage tank cleaning method. The tank cleaning operation efficiency of the
storage tank can be effectively improved, an operator is prevented from directly entering the
storage tank for operation, the labor intensity is reduced, and meanwhile, the
operation safety and
environmental protection risks are effectively reduced.
