Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stainless steel water tank technology, specifically to a corrosion-resistant stainless steel water tank with an internal epoxy coating. Background Technology

[0002] Stainless steel water tanks are water storage containers made of stainless steel sheets through molding and welding processes. They have advantages such as corrosion resistance, high strength, and clean water quality, and are widely used in domestic water supply, fire protection, and industrial fields. Water tanks are generally used for water storage and are often installed outdoors. Under sunlight, they absorb heat, causing water to evaporate and produce steam. Steam accelerates the corrosion of the water tank body. In addition, due to the different water qualities and the impurities contained in the water, impurities will accumulate inside the tank during use. Impurities with low adhesion can be discharged with the water source, but impurities with high adhesion remain inside the water tank. Since the water tank is a one-piece structure, it is inconvenient to clean the inside. In order to reduce water evaporation and facilitate the cleaning of the inside of the water tank, a corrosion-resistant epoxy-coated stainless steel water tank is proposed.

[0003] As disclosed in the patent announcement number CN214191006U, an easy-to-clean stainless steel water tank includes a base assembly and a motor. The water tank body is arranged on top of the base assembly. The water tank body includes an epoxy anti-corrosion paint. An outer stainless steel layer is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the epoxy anti-corrosion paint. An acid-resistant ceramic layer is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the outer stainless steel layer. An inner stainless steel layer is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the acid-resistant ceramic layer. A water inlet is opened at the top of the water tank body. A water outlet is opened on the right side of the water tank body. A cleaning component is arranged inside the water tank body.

[0004] Although it features a cleaning component that can clean the inside of the water tank, and is driven by a motor, eliminating the need for manual cleaning, it is easy to operate and facilitates cleaning of the water tank. At the same time, it uses multiple layers of anti-corrosion materials to improve the corrosion resistance of the water tank and extend its service life.

[0005] However, this does not solve the problem that existing stainless steel water tanks are not conducive to circulating heat exchange to cool the liquid inside the tank, nor to scraping and cleaning impurities adhering to the inner wall of the tank and draining them, thus affecting the convenience of cleaning the water tank. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a corrosion-resistant epoxy-coated stainless steel water tank to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inconvenience of circulating heat exchange to cool the liquid inside the tank, the difficulty in scraping and cleaning impurities adhering to the inner wall of the tank and discharging them, which affect the convenience of cleaning the water tank.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a corrosion-resistant, internally coated epoxy stainless steel water tank, comprising a base and an adjusting plate. The adjusting plate is located at the top of the base. A movable shaft is located on the side of the adjusting plate near the base, and the adjusting plate is movably connected to the base via the movable shaft. A hydraulic cylinder is located on the side wall of the base. A connecting shaft is located at one end of the hydraulic cylinder, and the hydraulic cylinder is movably connected to the base via the connecting shaft. A push arm is installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. A linkage shaft is located at the end of the push arm near the adjusting plate, and the push arm is movably connected to the adjusting plate via the linkage shaft. A heat dissipation fin is located at the top of the adjusting plate, and the heat dissipation fin is made of aluminum alloy. A liquid storage tank is located on the side wall of the heat dissipation fin. A compressor / refrigeration unit is located on the side wall of the heat dissipation fin on one side of the liquid storage tank, and the liquid storage tank is connected to the compressor / refrigeration unit via a pipe. A water tank body is located at the top of the heat dissipation fin, and the inner wall of the water tank body is coated with a corrosion-resistant water-based epoxy primer.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the compressor is provided with a controller, and the controller is equipped with a PLC component to control the entire device.

[0009] Preferably, a liquid inlet pipe is provided on the side wall of the compressor refrigeration unit, and a liquid outlet pipe is provided on the side wall of the compressor refrigeration unit on the side of the liquid inlet pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the heat dissipation fins are provided with a serpentine copper tube inside, and the liquid inlet pipe and liquid outlet pipe pass through the heat dissipation fins and are connected to both ends of the serpentine copper tube.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the water tank body is provided with a water inlet, and the outer wall of one side of the water tank body is provided with a water outlet.

[0012] Preferably, a drive seat is provided on the outer wall of the other side of the water tank body, and a stepper motor is provided on the side wall of the drive seat.

[0013] Preferably, the output end of the stepper motor is provided with a worm gear, and the worm gear is movably connected to the drive seat. A drive shaft is movably provided inside the drive seat on one side of the worm gear, and the drive shaft extends into the water tank body and is movably connected to the water tank body.

[0014] Preferably, the drive shaft surface inside the water tank body is symmetrically provided with a scraper, and the scraper is slidably connected to the inner wall of the water tank body. The drive shaft surface inside the drive seat is fitted with a worm gear, and the worm and the worm gear mesh with each other.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the stainless steel water tank not only realizes the cooling of the liquid inside the tank through circulating heat exchange, avoiding the accumulation of steam generated by liquid evaporation in the tank and causing corrosion, but also facilitates the scraping, cleaning and discharge of impurities adhering to the inner wall of the water tank, and improves the convenience of cleaning the water tank.

[0016] The water tank body is mounted on the heat dissipation fins. The inner wall of the water tank body is coated with an anti-corrosion water-based epoxy primer to prevent rust. Since the water tank body is primarily used outdoors, water is added to the water tank body through the inlet. To prevent the water tank body from being exposed to sunlight, which could cause the internal water temperature to rise excessively and generate steam, accelerating corrosion, the water pump inside the storage tank is turned on. This pump pumps the refrigerant from the storage tank through pipes to the compressor, which cools the refrigerant and pumps it through the inlet pipe to the serpentine copper tubing. Inside, the water inside the tank is heated, and the heat is conducted through the tank body to the heat dissipation fins, and then through the heat dissipation fins to the serpentine copper tubes. After the coolant flows into the serpentine copper tubes, it transfers some of the heat to the coolant and is output through the outlet pipe, passing through the compressor and returning to the storage tank. This achieves circulating cooling of the tank body, preventing overheating and the generation of steam that corrodes the tank body. This circulating heat exchange cools the liquid inside the tank and prevents the accumulation of steam caused by liquid evaporation that could corrode the tank body.

[0017] When cleaning the inside of the water tank is required, the hydraulic cylinder drives the push arm to move, and simultaneously the hydraulic cylinder rotates around the connecting shaft. The push arm, through the linkage shaft, drives the adjusting plate to rotate around the movable shaft. The adjusting plate then drives the connecting shaft and the water tank body to rotate, tilting the water tank body. The stepper motor is then activated, driving the worm gear to rotate. The worm gear, through the worm wheel, drives the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the scraper to rotate. The scraper scrapes off the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the water tank and mixes them with the water. The advantage of the worm gear and worm wheel design is that it can drive the scraper to rotate slowly, avoiding excessive speed which would result in poor cleaning. Afterward, the outlet is opened to drain the water, completing the cleaning of the inside of the water tank. This system achieves coordinated adjustment of the water tank's tilt angle, facilitating rapid drainage of the internal liquid and convenient scraping of impurities adhering to the inner wall of the water tank, thus improving the ease of water tank cleaning.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a corrosion-resistant, internally coated epoxy stainless steel water tank, comprising a base 1 and an adjusting plate 2. The adjusting plate 2 is located at the top of the base 1, and a movable shaft 19 is located on the side of the adjusting plate 2 near the base 1, and the adjusting plate 2 is movably connected to the base 1 via the movable shaft 19. A hydraulic cylinder 15 is located on the side wall of the base 1, and the hydraulic cylinder 15 serves as a power drive. One end of the hydraulic cylinder 15 is provided with a connecting shaft 18, and the hydraulic cylinder 15 is movably connected to the base 1 via the connecting shaft 18. A push arm is installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 15. 16.

A water tank body 11 is provided at the top of the heat dissipation fin 8, and the inner wall of the water tank body 11 is coated with an anti-corrosion water-based epoxy primer.

[0026] The water tank body 11 is mounted on the heat dissipation fins 8. The inner wall of the water tank body 11 is coated with an anti-corrosion water-based epoxy primer to prevent rust inside the water tank body 11. The water tank body 11 is mostly used outdoors. Water is added into the water tank body 11 through the water inlet 10. To prevent the water tank body 11 from being exposed to sunlight, which would cause the internal water temperature to rise too high and generate steam, thus accelerating the corrosion of the water tank body 11, the water pump inside the liquid storage tank 4 is turned on. The refrigerant inside the liquid storage tank 4 is pumped through the pipeline to the compressor refrigeration unit 3. The compressor refrigeration unit 3 cools the refrigerant and pumps it through the liquid inlet pipe 6 to the serpentine copper... Inside the tube 20, the water inside the water tank body 11 is heated, and the heat is conducted through the water tank body 11 to the heat dissipation fins 8, and then through the heat dissipation fins 8 to the serpentine copper tube 20. After the coolant flows into the serpentine copper tube 20, it transfers the heat to the coolant and outputs it through the outlet pipe 7, passing through the compressor refrigeration unit 3 and returning to the storage tank 4. This achieves circulating cooling of the water tank body 11, avoiding overheating and the generation of steam that corrodes the tank body. It achieves circulating heat exchange to cool the liquid inside the water tank, preventing the accumulation of steam caused by liquid evaporation and corrosion of the tank body.

[0027] A controller 5 is provided on the surface of the compressor 3, and a PLC component is provided inside the controller 5 to control the entire device. An inlet pipe 6 is provided on the side wall of the compressor 3, and an outlet pipe 7 is provided on the side wall of the compressor 3 on the side of the inlet pipe 6.

[0028] The heat dissipation fin 8 is equipped with a serpentine copper tube 20, and the liquid inlet pipe 6 and the liquid outlet pipe 7 pass through the heat dissipation fin 8 and are connected to both ends of the serpentine copper tube 20.

[0029] The top of the water tank body 11 is provided with a water inlet 10, the outer wall of one side of the water tank body 11 is provided with a water outlet 14, the outer wall of the other side of the water tank body 11 is provided with a drive seat 9, and the side wall of the drive seat 9 is provided with a stepper motor 21, which serves as a power drive.

[0030] The output end of the stepper motor 21 is provided with a worm gear 22, and the worm gear 22 is movably connected to the drive seat 9. The drive seat 9 on one side of the worm gear 22 is movably provided with a drive shaft 12, and the drive shaft 12 extends into the water tank body 11 and is movably connected to the water tank body 11.

[0031] The drive shaft 12 inside the water tank body 11 is symmetrically provided with a scraper 13, and the scraper 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the water tank body 11. The drive shaft 12 inside the drive seat 9 is fitted with a worm gear 23, and the worm 22 and the worm gear 23 mesh with each other.

[0032] When cleaning of the inside of the water tank body 11 is required, the hydraulic cylinder 15 is activated, causing the push arm 16 to move. Simultaneously, the hydraulic cylinder 15 rotates around the connecting shaft 18, and the push arm 16, via the linkage shaft 17, causes the adjusting plate 2 to rotate around the movable shaft 19. The adjusting plate 2 then rotates the connecting shaft 18 and the water tank body 11, tilting the water tank body 11. The stepper motor 21 is then activated, causing the worm gear 22 to rotate. Through the meshing of the worm gear 22 and the worm wheel 23, the worm gear 22, via the worm wheel 23, drives the drive shaft 12 to rotate. The drive shaft 12 then drives the scraper frame 13 to rotate. With the sliding engagement of the worm gear 13 and the water tank body 11, the scraper 13 scrapes off the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the water tank body 11 and mixes them with the water. The advantage of the design of the worm gear 22 and worm wheel 23 is that it can drive the scraper 13 to rotate slowly, avoiding the scraper 13 from rotating too fast and causing poor cleaning effect. Then, the water outlet 14 is opened to drain the water inside, thus completing the cleaning work inside the water tank body 11. The linkage adjustment of the tilt angle of the water tank is realized, which facilitates the rapid discharge of the internal liquid and makes it easier to scrape and clean the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the water tank, thus improving the convenience of water tank cleaning.

[0033] Working principle: The water tank body 11 is installed on the heat dissipation fins 8. The inner wall of the water tank body 11 is coated with an anti-corrosion water-based epoxy primer to prevent rust inside the water tank body 11. The water tank body 11 is mostly used outdoors. Water is added into the water tank body 11 through the water inlet 10. To prevent the water tank body 11 from being exposed to sunlight, which would cause the internal water temperature to rise too high and generate steam, accelerating the corrosion of the water tank body 11, the water pump inside the liquid storage tank 4 is turned on to pump the refrigerant inside the liquid storage tank 4 through... The coolant is pumped into the compressor 3, which cools it and pumps it through the inlet pipe 6 into the serpentine copper tube 20. The water inside the water tank 11 heats up, and the heat is conducted through the water tank 11 to the heat dissipation fins 8, and then through the heat dissipation fins 8 to the serpentine copper tube 20. The coolant flows into the serpentine copper tube 20, where it transfers some of the heat to the coolant itself and exits through the outlet pipe 7, passing through the compressor 3 back to the storage tank 4, thus circulating the coolant in the water tank 11. The system employs a ring-type refrigeration system to prevent internal overheating and steam corrosion of the tank body. When cleaning of the inside of the water tank body 11 is required, the hydraulic cylinder 15 drives the push arm 16 to move. Simultaneously, the hydraulic cylinder 15 rotates around the connecting shaft 18, and the push arm 16 drives the adjusting plate 2 to rotate around the movable shaft 19 via the linkage shaft 17. The adjusting plate 2 then drives the connecting shaft 18 and the water tank body 11 to rotate, causing the water tank body 11 to tilt. The stepper motor 21 drives the worm gear 22 to rotate, and the worm gear 22 drives the drive shaft via the worm wheel 23. Drive shaft 12 rotates, driving the scraper 13 to rotate. With the sliding cooperation between the scraper 13 and the water tank body 11, the scraper 13 scrapes off the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the water tank body 11 and mixes them with the water. The worm gear 22 and worm wheel 23 are designed to drive the scraper 13 to rotate slowly, avoiding the scraper 13 from rotating too fast and causing poor cleaning effect. Then, the water outlet 14 is opened to drain the water inside, thus completing the cleaning work inside the water tank body 11.
