Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tank container technology, specifically a multi-compartment tank container. Background Technology

[0002] Tank containers are used for transporting liquid goods such as alcoholic beverages, oils, liquid foods, and chemicals. They mainly consist of liquid tanks and a frame. The liquid tanks are elliptical or nearly spherical and have a double-layered structure. The inner wall is made of stainless steel or other rigid materials, but must be coated with epoxy resin to prevent corrosion from the liquid goods. The outer wall is insulated. Generally, the tank has a circular loading port on the top and a unloading valve at the bottom. There are several types, including high-pressure tanks, low-pressure tanks, insulated tanks, and tanks with heating devices. The frame is made of high-strength steel, with the liquid tank placed in the middle of the frame. Handling, loading, unloading, and storage of tank containers require specific locations and specialized fire safety equipment. However, the partitions inside existing tank containers cannot be adjusted. During transportation, if braking occurs on a slope, the uneven distribution of liquid inside the tank container will cause the tilted side to experience a greater inertial impact.

[0003] Existing technology, utility model patent CN205441483U, discloses a multi-compartment tank container, including a tank body for storing materials, a frame installed around the tank body for fixing and protection, and a skirt connecting the tank body and the frame. The tank body consists of multiple storage compartments, each equipped with a loading and unloading valve and a protective box. Reinforcing rings are welded to the outer wall of the tank body. Skirts are welded to both ends of the tank body, and the skirts are fixedly welded to the front and rear end beams of the frame. Ladders are provided at the ends of the frame, and walkways are provided on the top of the frame. Using the above technical solution, a multi-compartment tank body is configured, each compartment is equipped with a loading and unloading valve and a protective box, and reinforcing rings are welded to the outer wall. The frame, which is installed around the tank body for fixing and protection, is assembled and welded to various specifications of profiles and plates using corner fittings. The skirts are welded to both ends of the tank body and simultaneously fixed to the front and rear ends of the frame. This multi-compartment tank container has advantages such as versatility in storing and transporting materials per container, selectable storage capacity, and flexibility in use. However, the existing technology does not solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

The first movable frame 213 and the second movable frame 214 are respectively threaded onto the first lead screw 211 and the second lead screw 212. The first outer rotating plate 215 and the first inner rotating plate 216 are rotatably mounted on the outer casing 201. The outer casing 201 is fixedly mounted on the base 202.

Switching electric cylinder 204 is fixedly mounted on drive motor 203. Friction block 205 is fixedly mounted at the end of telescopic rod of switching electric cylinder 204. Planetary carrier 206 rotatably engages with outer ring gear 209.

[0029] The working principle of a multi-compartment tank container disclosed in this invention is as follows: When a semi-trailer carrying tank 103 travels on a slope, the liquid inside tank 103 will accumulate on the inclined side. At this time, during sudden braking or braking, the inertial force of the liquid inside tank 103 will concentrate at one end of the tank, easily causing the semi-trailer to lose balance or even overturn. Therefore, when traveling on a slope, the user needs to control the drive motor 203. The output shaft of the drive motor 203 will drive the central wheel 208 to rotate. The rotation of the central wheel 208 will drive the planetary gear 210 to rotate. The rotation of the planetary gear 210 will drive the outer ring gear 209 to rotate. The rotation of the outer ring gear 209 will drive the first lead screw 211 to rotate. At this time, the friction block 205 is in contact with the planetary carrier 206, causing the friction block 205 to press against the planetary carrier 206, keeping the planetary carrier 206 in a fixed state. When the friction block 205 contacts the outer ring gear 206... When the outer ring gear 209 is in contact, the outer ring gear 209 remains stationary. At this time, power is output from the planetary carrier 206. The rotation of the planetary carrier 206 will drive the switching gear 207 to rotate. The rotation of the switching gear 207 will drive the second lead screw 212 to rotate. Therefore, the rotation of the first lead screw 211 or the second lead screw 212 can be controlled by controlling the extension and retraction of the switching electric cylinder 204. The rotation of the first lead screw 211 or the second lead screw 212 will drive the first moving frame 213 or the second moving frame 214 to move linearly, thereby driving the second rotating shaft 109 / first rotating shaft 108 to move linearly. The linear movement of the second rotating shaft 109 / first rotating shaft 108 will drive the second partition plate 105 / first partition plate 104 to slide on the inner wall of the tank 103, so that the second partition plate 105 and the first partition plate 104 are concentrated in the position of dense liquid distribution, reducing the influence of the inertial force of the liquid in the tank 103 on the inner wall of the tank 103.

[0030] The swinging of the outer swing sleeve 223 and the inner swing sleeve 222 can be controlled by controlling the outer drive electric cylinder 226 or the inner drive electric cylinder 227. The swinging of the outer swing sleeve 223 and the inner swing sleeve 222 will drive the outer actuating frame 219 and the inner actuating frame 220 to swing through the outer actuating slide rod 217 and the inner actuating slide rod 218, which in turn will drive the second rotating shaft 109 and the first rotating shaft 108 to swing. The swinging of the second rotating shaft 109 and the first rotating shaft 108 will drive the second valve plate 107 and the first valve plate 106 to swing, so that the through holes of the first valve plate 106 and the second valve plate 107 are aligned with or staggered with the through holes of the first partition plate 104 and the second partition plate 105. When aligned, the inside of the tank 103 is a single space that can hold the same liquid. When staggered, the inside of the tank 103 can be divided into multiple independent spaces that can hold multiple liquids.
