Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of antistatic handrail technology, specifically an antistatic handrail for oil tankers. Background Technology

[0002] Static electricity is a static charge or non-flowing charge. When charges accumulate on an object or surface, static electricity is formed. Static sparks can cause some flammable materials to explode or break down some thin film products. Therefore, strict static elimination measures need to be implemented during the production of some flammable and explosive materials and films.

[0003] Oil tankers contain a large number of flammable materials. Before entering the tanker, workers need to undergo static electricity removal. Existing static electricity removal handrails are difficult to adjust according to the height of workers, requiring multiple handrails, which greatly increases the operating cost. Static electricity is usually conducted to the ground during static electricity removal, but on oil tankers, it is directly conducted to the deck, which can easily ignite flammable and explosive materials on the deck, causing an explosion and creating a safety hazard. During use, workers' sweat and dust can easily adhere to the steel pipes, making them difficult to clean and resulting in incomplete static electricity removal. Therefore, a static electricity removal handrail for oil tankers is proposed to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an anti-static handrail for oil tankers, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This antistatic handrail for oil tankers consists of an antistatic component and a cleaning component. By pulling the handle, the connecting rod moves the telescopic rod downward via spring B, allowing the antistatic handrail to be moved to accommodate workers of different heights. The cleaning component cleans the steel pipes on the antistatic component, preventing sweat and dust from affecting the antistatic effect of the handrail. The antistatic component discharges static electricity into a water tank via the first and second wires, and then drains it through the water in the tank, preventing static electricity from being conducted to the ship's deck and potentially causing an explosion of flammable materials on the deck, thus posing a safety hazard.

[0017] 2. The antistatic handrail of this oil tanker uses an arc-shaped electric telescopic rod to rotate the cleaning cotton, thereby cleaning the antistatic component. When the handrail is not in use, the cleaning cotton prevents dust and impurities from adhering to the steel pipe of the antistatic component, thus ensuring effective antistatic removal. The squeezing block and the first threaded groove squeeze spring A to prevent the connecting rod from damaging the cleaning component and support frame under the elastic force of spring A, which would otherwise damage the antistatic handrail. The antistatic component conducts static electricity through the steel pipe, via the first and second wires, into the water tank, and then discharges it. An alarm will sound when static electricity passes through, allowing workers to better understand whether the static electricity has been completely removed. The limit rod prevents the antistatic handrail from collapsing during use, which could cause static-contaminated water to flow out and potentially ignite flammable or explosive materials, creating a safety hazard.

The unit is connected to a water tank 13 via a threaded connection and consists of an antistatic component 6 and a cleaning component 5. By pulling the handle 16, the connecting rod 8 drives the telescopic rod 10 to move downward via the spring B19, allowing the antistatic handrail to be moved to accommodate workers of different heights. The cleaning component 5 can clean the steel pipe 601 on the antistatic component 6 to prevent sweat stains and dust impurities from affecting the antistatic effect of the handrail. The antistatic component 6 can discharge static electricity into the water tank 13 through the first wire 603 and the second wire 607, and then discharge it through the water in the water tank 13, preventing static electricity from being conducted to the ship's deck and causing an explosion of flammable materials on the deck, thus posing a safety hazard.

[0027] When using, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are three springs A2. One end of spring A2 is connected to the top of the extrusion plate 3. There are three extrusion plates 3. The bottom of two extrusion plates 3 is connected to the first threaded groove 4, and the bottom of the other extrusion plate 3 is connected to the extrusion block 18.

[0029] When using, such as Figure 2As shown, the top of the water tank 13 is connected to the fixed column 11 by a thread. A threaded pipe 20 is provided on one side of the water tank 13 through a groove. One end of the threaded pipe 20 is connected to a water outlet pipe by a thread. By draining the water in the water tank 13, static electricity is prevented from being conducted to the ship's surface, which could cause flammable materials on the ship's surface to explode and cause safety hazards.

[0030] When using, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning component 5 includes a second threaded post 501, an arc-shaped electric telescopic rod 502, a connecting strip 503, and a cleaning cotton 504. The bottom of the second threaded post 501 is provided with the arc-shaped electric telescopic rod 502 via a support plate. The inner side of the arc-shaped electric telescopic rod 502 is provided with a connecting strip 503, and one side of the connecting strip 503 is provided with a cleaning cotton 504. There are two cleaning components 5 and four cleaning cotton 504. The two cleaning cotton 504 are connected by a fixing strip and a slot. The second threaded post 501 is connected to the first threaded groove 4 by threads. The arc-shaped electric telescopic rod 502 drives the cleaning cotton 504 to rotate, thereby achieving the function of cleaning the antistatic component 6. When the antistatic handrail is idle, the cleaning cotton 504 can prevent dust and impurities from adhering to the steel pipe 601 on the antistatic component 6.

[0031] When using, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the static eliminator assembly 6 includes a steel pipe 601, a terminal block 602, a first wire 603, a limiting post 604, an alarm 605, a junction box 606, and a second wire 607. One end of the steel pipe 601 is provided with a terminal block 602. One side of the terminal block 602 is connected to one end of the first wire 603.

Warning signs 17 are provided at both ends of the steel pipe 601. The bottom of the second wire 607 is connected to the water tank 13 through the junction plate. The steel pipe 601 conducts static electricity into the water tank 13 through the first wire 603 and the second wire 607, and then discharges it. The alarm 605 can trigger an alarm when static electricity passes through, which can better indicate whether the worker has completely removed the static electricity.

[0032] In summary, the system comprises an antistatic assembly 6 and a cleaning assembly 5. First, pulling the handle 16 causes the connecting rod 8 to move the telescopic rod 10 downwards via spring B19, thus moving the antistatic handrail. Then, the hand is placed on the steel pipe of the antistatic assembly to remove static electricity. The antistatic assembly 6, through the steel pipe 601, guides the static electricity into the water tank 13 via the first wire 603 and the second wire 607, and then discharges it. The alarm 605 will trigger when static electricity passes through, providing better indication of whether the static electricity has been completely removed. Finally, the cleaning assembly... 5 can clean the steel pipe 601 on the antistatic component 6 to prevent sweat stains and dust impurities from affecting the antistatic effect of the antistatic handrail. The cleaning component 5 drives the cleaning cotton 504 to rotate through the arc-shaped electric telescopic rod 502 to clean the antistatic component 6. When the antistatic handrail is not in use, the cleaning cotton 504 can prevent dust and impurities from adhering to the steel pipe 601 on the antistatic component 6. Then, by draining the water in the water tank 13, static electricity is prevented from being conducted to the ship's deck, which could cause flammable materials on the ship's deck to explode and cause safety hazards.
