[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tank container technology, specifically a tank container with good thermal insulation performance. Background Technology
[0002] Tank containers are widely used in transporting various liquids, gases, and other substances that require specific storage conditions. In many cases, the transported goods need to have good thermal insulation properties to maintain their appropriate temperature and avoid adverse effects of external ambient temperature on the quality of the goods.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN222117680U that discloses a tank container with good thermal insulation performance. By setting up a cavity and starting a vacuum machine, a vacuum state is formed inside the cavity. The vacuum state can avoid heat convection and reduce heat loss. At the same time, by adding a certain amount of inert gas into the cavity through an inert gas filling box, the thermal insulation effect is further enhanced, reducing the heat loss of materials and preventing it from affecting the smoothness of unloading, while meeting customer needs.
[0004] Existing tank containers have certain limitations in terms of insulation, and it is difficult to flexibly adjust their insulation-related structural layout according to different transportation scenarios and cargo requirements, which affects the performance. By installing arc-shaped insulation panels on both sides of the tank container body, the curvature of which matches the outer contour of the tank, and by changing the position of the arc-shaped insulation panels, the panels can be slid to a position that completely covers the sides of the tank, thereby enhancing the insulation effect or partially opening them to facilitate necessary inspections of the tank while still retaining a certain degree of insulation. Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following illustrations will reveal several embodiments of the present invention. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit the present invention. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, these physical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 The present invention relates to a tank container with good thermal insulation performance, comprising a tank container body 1 and a placement frame 2. A PLC controller is installed on the placement frame 2. The tank container body 1 is installed on the placement frame 2. The tank container body 1 has an internal cavity 3 filled with polyurethane foam. Both sides of the tank container body 1 are provided with arc-shaped insulation panels 4. The arc-shaped insulation panels 4 are made of a double-layer composite structure: the outer layer is a 304 stainless steel corrugated plate, and the inner layer is filled with a polyurethane foam layer. The radius of the arc-shaped insulation panels 4 is designed to match the tank container body 1.
[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, an adjustment assembly is provided between the arc-shaped insulation board 4 and the placement frame 2. The adjustment assembly includes a connecting plate 5. One end of the connecting plate 5 is fixed to the arc-shaped insulation board 4. The connecting plate 5 is L-shaped. The other end of the connecting plate 5 is elastic to the placement frame 2. Limiting plates 8 are provided on both sides of the connecting plate 5. The limiting plates 8 are installed on the placement frame 2. The position of the connecting plate 5 is restricted by the limiting plates 8 to prevent the connecting plate 5 from shifting during movement.
[0025] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment assembly also includes a drive block 9 and a guide rail 10. The guide rail 10 is mounted on the placement frame 2 and is a T-shaped ball bearing guide rail with a hard chrome plated surface. The drive block 9 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 10 and is slidably mounted on the connecting plate 5. A screw 11 is provided on the drive block 9 and is threadedly connected to the drive block 9. By adjusting the rotation of the screw 11, the drive block 9 is pushed to move on the guide rail 10, thereby changing the rotation direction of the screw 11 and achieving the effect of adjusting the movement direction of the drive block 9.
[0026] In this embodiment, two adjacent drive blocks 9 and screws 11 are arranged opposite to each other, and the screws 11 are fixedly connected. A housing 16 is provided above the placement frame 2, and the housing 16 is installed on the placement frame 2. One end of the screw 11 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 10, and the other end of the screw 11 is provided with a servo motor 12. The servo motor 12 is slidably installed on the guide rail 10 through a slider 13.
[0027] In this embodiment, a servo electric cylinder 15 is provided above the screw 11. The servo electric cylinder 15 has a built-in displacement sensor and forms a closed-loop feedback with the PLC controller. One end of the servo electric cylinder 15 is mounted on the placement frame 2 through the fixing bracket 14, and the other end of the servo electric cylinder 15 is rotatably connected to the screw 11.
[0028] In this embodiment, the fixing component includes a fixing bolt 17. One end of the fixing bolt 17 passes through the connecting plate 5 and the arc-shaped insulation plate 4. The fixing bolt 17 is provided with a plug rod 18, and the fixing bolt 17 and the plug rod 18 are threadedly connected. When it is necessary to disassemble the arc-shaped insulation plate 4, first drive the plug rod 18 to rotate and remove the plug rod 18 from the fixing bolt 17. Then pull the fixing bolt 17 out of the connecting plate 5 and the arc-shaped insulation plate 4 to release the restriction of the connecting plate 5 and the arc-shaped insulation plate 4. Then the arc-shaped insulation plate 4 can be removed.
[0029] In this embodiment, the elastic element includes a spring 6 and a telescopic rod 7. The spring 6 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 7. One end of the telescopic rod 7 is installed on the connecting plate 5, and the other end of the telescopic rod 7 is installed on the placement frame 2.
[0030] The implementation principle is as follows: During operation, the servo motor 12 is controlled to work, which drives the screw 11 to rotate. The screw 11 drives two adjacent drive blocks 9 to move relative to each other. The drive blocks 9 push the connecting plate 5 to move. The connecting plate 5 compresses and stores the spring 6. At the same time, the connecting plate 5 drives the arc-shaped insulation plate 4 to move, so that the arc-shaped insulation plate 4 separates from the tank container body 1. By driving the servo motor 12 to rotate in the opposite direction, the drive blocks 9 are reset. At the same time, the spring 6 releases the force to drive the connecting plate 5 to move, and drives the arc-shaped insulation plate 4 to reset, so that the arc-shaped insulation plate 4 covers the tank container body 1 again.
[0031] When it is necessary to drive part of the arc-shaped insulation plate 4 away from the tank container body 1, the servo electric cylinder 15 is controlled to work. The servo electric cylinder 15 drives the screw 11 to move, and the screw 11 drives the drive block 9 to move accordingly. This causes part of the drive block 9 to push the corresponding connecting plate 5 to move, while the other drive block 9 separates from the connecting plate 5. During the movement, the connecting plate 5 drives the corresponding arc-shaped insulation plate 4 to move, thereby realizing the movement of part of the arc-shaped insulation plate 4.
[0032] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
