Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of silicone oil storage devices, and in particular relates to a silicone oil storage tank. Background Art
[0002] Silicone oil is widely used in industries such as industry and medicine, and its storage and management is an important part of the production and research process. Under the existing technical background, silicone oil is usually stored in special containers to maintain its stability and prevent contamination. Silicone oil has low tension and viscosity, which makes it difficult to form a clear liquid level interface in the storage tank, which further increases the difficulty of observation and measurement. In some storage tank designs, it is difficult for staff to directly observe the amount of silicone oil in the tank with the naked eye due to the opaque tank body or limited observation window. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a silicone oil storage tank in view of the above-mentioned existing technical problems, so as to achieve the effect of being able to know the amount of silicone oil in the storage tank in real time.
[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a silicone oil storage tank, comprising a tank body and a cover body arranged at the upper end of the tank body, and also comprising an oil quantity observation device, the oil quantity observation device comprising an observation unit arranged outside the tank body and a detection unit arranged inside the tank body, the observation unit comprising an observation plate arranged outside the tank body along the length direction of the tank body, a reading block is slidably connected inside the observation plate, the reading block is connected to a measuring block in the detection unit inside the tank body through a measuring rope, and the measuring block floats on the silicone oil liquid surface in the tank body.
[0005] In the present technical solution, an observation plate is arranged on the outer wall of the tank body along the length direction of the tank body. The measuring block floating on the silicone oil liquid surface inside the tank body changes its vertical height inside the tank body according to the change of the volume of the silicone oil in the tank body, thereby driving the reading block slidingly arranged inside the observation plate and sliding along the length direction of the observation plate to change its position. The staff can obtain the real-time amount of silicone oil in the tank body through the position of the reading block on the observation plate.
[0006] In the above technical solution, further, the observation plate is arranged in the support structure, the support structure is connected to the outer wall of the tank body, and the support structure can protect the observation plate while supporting it.
[0007] In the above technical solution, further, a slide groove for sliding connection of the reading block is arranged in the observation plate, a guide rail is vertically arranged in the slide groove, the reading block is slidingly connected to the guide rail, and an observation window is vertically opened on the side of the observation plate away from the tank body.
[0008] In the above technical solution, further, a scale is provided on one side of the observation window.
[0009] In the present technical solution, a measuring block floating on the silicone oil liquid surface in the tank body and a reading block slidingly set in the chute of the observation plate are connected by a measuring rope. An upward pulling force is applied to the measuring block at the top of the reading block through the measuring rope. The pulling force is greater than the gravity of the reading block itself, so that the reading block remains stationary in the chute. When the amount of silicone oil in the tank body changes, the measuring block moves with it, and its position in the vertical direction in the tank body changes, driving the position of the reading block in the chute of the observation plate to move. The operator can correspond the position of the reading block seen through the observation window to the scale set on one side of the observation window to obtain the amount of silicone oil in the tank body at this time.
[0010] In the above technical solution, further, a connecting unit is arranged between the observation unit and the detection unit, and the connecting unit includes a first steering mechanism and a second steering mechanism respectively arranged on the observation unit and the detection unit, the first steering mechanism is connected to the top of the observation plate through the first tube body, the first steering mechanism is connected to the second steering mechanism through the second tube body, the second steering mechanism is connected to the tank body through the third tube body, one end of the measuring rope is connected to the reading block, and the other end is connected to the measuring block in the tank body through the first steering mechanism and the second steering mechanism in turn.
[0011] In the above technical solution, further, the first steering mechanism and the second steering mechanism both include a shell, a cross bar is transversely arranged in the shell, a guide wheel is rotatably arranged on the cross bar, and a limiting groove is arranged on the arc surface of the guide wheel.
[0012] In the present technical solution, the first tube body, the second tube body and the third tube body are all made of hard materials. The measuring rope connected to the top of the reading block passes through the first tube body, the shell of the first steering mechanism, the second tube body, the shell of the second steering mechanism, the third tube body in sequence, and is finally connected to the top of the measuring block in the tank body. After entering the shell, the measuring rope abuts against the limit groove on the guide wheel. The setting of the limit groove and the guide wheel respectively reduces friction and limits the measuring rope, ensures that the measuring rope does not rub against the tube body and the shell, and avoids interference with the activity of the measuring rope in the external environment, thereby ensuring measurement accuracy.
[0013] In the above technical solution, further, the top of the measuring block is arc-shaped and the bottom is a flat structure. Constraint blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the measuring block. Constraint holes are arranged on the constraint blocks. Constraint lines perpendicular to the bottom wall of the tank body are passed through the constraint holes.
[0014] In the above technical solution, further, one end of the constraint line is connected to a lower positioning block arranged on the bottom wall of the tank body, and the other end is connected to an upper positioning block arranged on the top of the cover body, and the constraint line connected between the upper positioning block and the lower positioning block is perpendicular to the bottom wall of the tank body.

Constraint blocks are set on both sides, and constraint holes are set on the constraint blocks. Together with the constraint line perpendicular to the bottom wall of the tank body, the measuring block can be ensured to move in the tank body in a vertical direction, thereby ensuring measurement accuracy.

[0018] In the above technical solution, further, the width of the observation slot is greater than the observation window, and the observation slot does not block the scale.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0020] 1. The observation plate is arranged on the outer wall of the tank body along the length direction of the tank body. The measuring block floating on the silicone oil liquid surface inside the tank body changes its vertical height in the tank body according to the change of the volume of the silicone oil in the tank body, driving the reading block slidingly arranged in the observation plate and slidingly arranged along the length direction of the observation plate to change its position.
