Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of storage and transportation equipment technology, and in particular to a tank container and a shock-resistant elastic connection mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of storage and transportation equipment, tank containers are currently the most widely used equipment for transporting chemical media and raw materials. Tank containers are special containers manufactured for transporting liquid goods such as food, medicine, and chemicals. Their structure consists of a liquid tank fixed inside a metal frame. An international standard tank is a stainless steel pressure vessel installed in a fastened external frame, and the inner liner of the tank is mostly made of stainless steel.

[0003] Currently, welding is the most common method for connecting the frame and the tank. However, this method is inconvenient during the manufacturing of tank containers and when the frame is damaged and needs to be replaced, as it hinders the disassembly of both the frame and the tank. Furthermore, while some existing tank containers feature detachable connections between the tank and the frame, these detachable methods primarily involve rigidly fixing the tank to the frame. During liquid transport, the internal sloshing of the liquid provides insufficient shock absorption, and the impact of this sloshing can cause changes in certain liquids. For example, hydrogen peroxide may decompose completely or even explode during transport due to violent shaking, posing a significant safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, existing tank containers cannot effectively reduce sloshing during liquid transportation and cannot adequately protect the transported liquid. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a tank container that can solve the problem that existing tank containers cannot effectively reduce sloshing during liquid transportation and cannot adequately protect the transported liquid.

[0016] Preferably, the partition plate is provided with a rotating rod in the radial direction. One end of the rotating rod is connected to the passage hole and the cavity door plate, and the other end protrudes outside the tank body. The rotating rod can rotate to drive the cavity door plate to rotate and open or close the passage hole.

[0017] Preferably, the end of the rotating rod protruding outside the tank is provided with a locking element, and the outside of the tank is provided with a locking groove.

[0036] The technical solution of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0037] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0038] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example

[0039] See Figure 1-7 ,in Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the tank container provided in this embodiment. The tank container provided in this embodiment includes:

[0040] Frame 1 and tank 2; and

[0041] Two sets of fixing devices 3 are respectively disposed at both ends of the frame 1, and together clamp the tank 2 onto the frame 1. Each fixing device 3 includes a tank fixing component 31 and a frame fixing component 32. The tank fixing component 31 is disposed on the tank 2, and the frame fixing component 32 is disposed on the frame 1. The tank fixing component 31 and the frame fixing component 32 are connected by an elastic component 4. The tank fixing component 31 can move elastically in multiple directions relative to the frame fixing component 32 through the elastic component 4.

[0042] Understandably, frame 1 is the main structure for securing the tank, and it is commonly a quadrilateral frame, which facilitates the stacking of multiple tank containers. For example... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a frame structure provided in this embodiment. In this embodiment, a quadrilateral frame is mainly used as an example for description and explanation. In other embodiments, frame structures with different main body shapes can be used according to actual needs, which will not be further described here.

[0043] Understandably, the main body shape of tank 2 is also a conventional shape. For example... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a tank provided in this embodiment. Specifically, in this embodiment, the tank 2 is mainly composed of a cylindrical body and approximately hemispherical or spherical caps closed at both ends of the body. It should be noted that, apart from the improvements described in this embodiment, the main structure of the tank 2 itself can be modified or modified according to actual needs. The illustration in this embodiment does not constitute a strict limitation on the tank and the aforementioned frame structure.

[0044] In this embodiment, the tank fixing component 31 is mainly fixed to the tank 2 so that the entire tank can be fixed by clamping the tank fixing component 31. The tank fixing component 31 can be integrally set on the tank or detachably sleeved on the outside of the tank. In specific implementation, this embodiment provides a specific implementation method, such as... Figure 3As shown, a positioning ring 21 is fixedly installed on the outside of the tank body 2. This positioning ring 21 is mainly used for the tank body fixing components 31 of the two sets of fixing devices 3 to abut against each other to form a clamping action. That is, the tank body 2 is fixed by the two tank body fixing components 31 clamping the positioning ring 21 together. In other embodiments, the two sets of tank body fixing components 31 can also clamp and fix the tank body through other structural methods. For example, the positioning ring 21 can be replaced by common structures such as a shoulder or a transition trapezoid. The positioning ring 21 can also be set by threaded tightening or welding as an integral part, which will not be described in further detail here.

[0045] In this embodiment, the elastic component 4 includes a first elastic mechanism 41, a second elastic mechanism 42, and a third elastic mechanism 43, and the elastic extension and contraction directions of the first elastic mechanism 41, the second elastic mechanism 42, and the third elastic mechanism 43 are perpendicular to each other.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the fixing device. The tank fixing component 31 of the fixing device 3 is fixed to the tank 2, while the frame fixing component 32 is fixed to the mounting base of the frame 1 via a detachable connecting mechanism, such as bolts, screws, or other conventional detachable connecting mechanisms. It can be understood that the two sets of frame fixing components 32 press against the tank fixing component 31 towards the center of the tank 2 through the elastic component 4. The two sets of tank fixing components 31 press against the tank 2, forming an overall fixing structure for the tank 2. Simultaneously, it can be understood that in order for the tank to move elastically in three directions along the elastic component 4, the tank fixing component 31 and the tank 2 are in close contact, but the tank fixing component 31 and the frame 1 are not in contact, leaving a certain gap. The frame fixing component 32 and the tank 2 are not in close contact, leaving a certain gap, but the frame fixing component 32 is fixed to the frame 1. Therefore, elastic movement is mainly achieved through relative movement via the elastic mechanism on the elastic component 4, thus realizing the relative movement between the tank fixing component 31 and the frame fixing component 32.

[0047] It is understandable that, such as Figure 5 The diagram shown is a partial structural schematic of the frame fixing component in the exploded state provided in this embodiment. Figure 4In this embodiment, the elastic extension and contraction directions of the first elastic mechanism 41, the second elastic mechanism 42, and the third elastic mechanism 43 of the elastic component 4 are perpendicular to each other mainly because the tank 2 may experience vibration or movement in three main directions during transportation: relative to the tank 2, including vibration along the three coordinate axes of space. Therefore, in this embodiment, the elastic component is designed to consist of the first elastic mechanism 41, the second elastic mechanism 42, and the third elastic mechanism 43, and their elastic extension and contraction directions are perpendicular to each other. In fact, in other embodiments, the possibility of multi-directional elastic extension and contraction including other angles and directions is not excluded. Those skilled in the art can adjust the included angle relationship between the three according to the arrangement of the first elastic mechanism 41, the second elastic mechanism 42, and the third elastic mechanism 43 in this embodiment. Alternatively, one of the first elastic mechanism 41, the second elastic mechanism 42, and the third elastic mechanism 43 can be set as an elastic mechanism that extends and contracts along the circumferential direction of the tank. At the same time, multi-directional also includes two directions. The direction can be set according to actual needs and combined with the implementation method in this embodiment. For example, if two directions are required, one of the elastic directions in this embodiment can be removed. Those skilled in the art can adjust according to actual needs, which will not be further described here.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the frame fixing assembly 32 is provided with a mounting groove 321, and the first elastic mechanism 41 and the second elastic mechanism 42 are disposed on the mounting groove 321. The first elastic mechanism 41 includes a connector 411 and a first spring 412. The connector 411 is disposed in the mounting groove 321, and the first spring 412 is disposed between the two ends of the connector 411 and the side wall of the mounting groove 321. The second elastic mechanism 42 includes a second spring 421, and the spring is disposed between the connector 411 and the bottom of the mounting groove 321. The connector 411 can elastically move relative to the mounting groove 321 in the contraction direction of the first spring 412 and the second spring 421.

[0049] Understandably, in addition to the two sides of the first spring member 412, the other side of the connector 411 is slidably fitted with the mounting groove 321, so that the connector 411 can effectively move back and forth on the mounting groove 321 along the extension and retraction direction of the first spring member 412. At the same time, the other two sides of the connector 411 are square, which means that when the connector 411 is placed after the mounting groove 321, it can form a support when pressed down by the weight of the tank 2. This can strengthen the subsequent fixation of the tank 2, and the elastic component 4 can provide effective support for the tank 2 while performing elastic extension and retraction.

[0050] Furthermore, to facilitate the fixing of the first spring member 412 and the second spring member 421, and to prevent the first spring member 412 and the second spring member 421 from moving or misaligning within the mounting groove 321, such as... Figure 5 As shown, a groove 322 is provided at the bottom of the mounting slot 321. The groove 322 can position the second spring member 421. Meanwhile, guide rods 413 are provided at both ends of the connecting member 411. Note that the guide rods 413 do not abut against the mounting slot 321; the guide rods 413 can pass through the first spring member 412 to position and limit the first spring member 412. Based on the above description and in conjunction with… Figures 1-5 It can be understood that in the elastic component 4 provided in this embodiment, under the joint clamping of the two sets of fixing devices 3, the first spring 412 is mainly set to reduce the left and right vibration of the tank, while the second spring 421 is mainly set to reduce the front and back vibration of the tank.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the tank fixing assembly provided in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the tank fixing assembly 31 is provided with a plug-in groove 311, combined with... Figure 5 The third elastic mechanism 43 includes a connector 431 and a third spring 432. The connector 411 is provided with a mounting portion 4111, which extends out of the mounting groove 321. The connector 431 is disposed on the mounting portion 4111, and the third spring 432 is disposed between the connector 431 and the mounting portion 4111. The connector 431 can elastically move relative to the mounting portion 4111 along the contraction direction of the third spring 432. The connector 431 can be inserted into the connector groove 311 of the tank fixing assembly 31 for connection.

[0052] It is understood that in the elastic component 4 provided in this embodiment, under the joint clamping of the two sets of fixing devices 3, combined with the contraction direction and action of the first spring member 412 and the second spring member 421, the third elastic mechanism 43 is set in the mounting part 4111 of the connector 411, and through the combination of the plug member 431 and the third spring member 432, along the extension and retraction direction of the third spring member 432, the vibration of the tank body 2 in the vertical direction can be reduced.

[0053] Furthermore, the fit between the insertion slot 311 and the insertion piece 431 is preferably tight, so that a stable connection is formed between the insertion piece 431 and the insertion slot 311. Of course, other connection methods are not excluded, such as snap-fit, pin, bolt and other fixing methods, the main purpose is to ensure that the insertion piece 431 and the insertion slot 311 can form an effective connection and ensure that the two are relatively fixed.

[0054] In this embodiment, a fixing plate 323 is also included. The fixing plate 323 is detachably disposed at the mounting groove 321 and is used to define the first elastic mechanism 41 and the second elastic mechanism 42. The fixing plate 323 is provided with an insertion hole 324, and the mounting part 4111 is disposed through the insertion hole 324.

[0055] It is understandable that the main function of the fixing plate 323 is to restrict the movement of the connector 411 within the mounting groove 321, preventing the connector 411 from leaving the mounting groove 321. By setting the fixing plate 323, the connector 411 can be pressed into the mounting groove 321. At this time, the second spring 421 can be in a compressed state. However, care should be taken to avoid compressing the second spring 421 completely. If the second spring 421 is compressed completely, it will not have the shock absorption effect of reducing the vibration and shaking of the tank. Those skilled in the art can adjust or set the spring strength according to the actual situation when setting the elasticity of the mounting groove 321, the second spring 421, and the connector 411. This will not be described in further detail here.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the length of the insertion hole 324 on the fixing plate 323 is greater than the length of the mounting part 4111, which facilitates the movement of the connector 411 in the mounting groove 321 along the extension and retraction direction of the first spring member 412.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the mounting portion 4111 of the connector 411 is provided with a guide hole 4112. The plug-in 431 is installed and connected to the connector 411 through a guide shaft 433. The two ends of the guide shaft 433 are fixed on the plug-in 431, which can be fixed by interference fit or bolts or other conventional means. The guide shaft 433 passes through the guide hole 4112 and is set on the mounting portion 4111. The diameter of the guide hole 4112 is slightly larger than the diameter of the guide shaft 433 to facilitate the movement of the plug-in 431 relative to the mounting portion 4111. The third spring 432 is sleeved on the outside of the guide shaft 433. Specifically, the third spring 432 is provided on both sides of the mounting portion 4111. The plug-in 431 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting portion 4111, and both ends abut against the third spring 432. In this embodiment, two guide shafts 433 are provided, and four third spring members 432 are provided accordingly. In other embodiments, the number of guide shafts 433 can be reduced or increased according to actual needs, and the number of third spring members 432 can be adjusted accordingly. This will not be described in further detail here.

[0058] As can be understood, in conjunction with the foregoing description, in this embodiment, the elastic component 4 mainly connects the tank fixing component 31 and the frame fixing component 32 through the connector 411 and the plug-in component 431. A first spring component 412 and a second spring component 421 are provided between the connector 411 and the frame fixing component 32, and a third spring component 432 is provided between the connector 411 and the plug-in component 431 (indirectly equivalent to the tank fixing component 31), thereby enabling the tank fixing component 31 and the frame fixing component 32 to achieve shock absorption in three common vibration or swaying directions.

[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the tank provided in this embodiment, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the tank body 2 is provided with multiple compartments 22, which are separated by an isolation mechanism 5. The isolation mechanism 5 includes a partition plate 51 and a door plate 52. The partition plate 51 is fixedly installed inside the tank body 2 and has a material passage hole 53. The door plate 52 is rotatably installed at the material passage hole 53. The door plate 52 can rotate to open or close the material passage hole 53 to connect or separate two adjacent compartments 22.

[0060] It is understandable that liquid sloshing is mainly caused by the interaction between the inertial force and gravity inside the liquid. The larger the volume of a single cavity in the tank, the more liquid is contained in the same space, and the greater the inertia when sloshing. By appropriately adding baffles inside the tank and reducing the internal space of the tank, the inertial force inside the liquid can be effectively reduced, thereby mitigating the occurrence of liquid sloshing.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the interior of the tank 2 is divided into multiple chambers 22 by a partition plate 51. To facilitate liquid loading, a feed hole 53 is provided to allow liquid to flow into each chamber 22. Furthermore, to prevent leakage from one chamber 22 that could lead to leakage of the entire tank, a chamber door plate 52 is also provided to control the opening and closing of the feed hole 53. This helps to keep the liquid within the chamber 22 and also helps prevent overall leakage of the tank 2.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a partial structural cross-sectional view of the tank, combined with... Figure 7 As shown, the partition plate 51 is provided with a rotating rod 54 in the radial direction. One end of the rotating rod 54 leads to the feed hole 53 and connects to the cavity door plate 52, while the other end protrudes outside the tank body 2. The rotating rod 54 can rotate to drive the cavity door plate 52 to rotate and open or close the feed hole 53.

[0063] It is understandable that a sealing element, such as a commonly used sealing ring, can be provided between the rotating rod 54 and the partition plate 51; in addition, sealant or a sealing ring can be provided on the edge of the cavity door plate 52 to ensure the sealing performance after the cavity door plate 52 is rotated to close the feed hole 53.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figures 7-9 As shown, Figure 9 for Figure 7 The enlarged schematic diagram of part A shows that the end of the rotating rod 54 protruding from the outside of the tank body 2 is equipped with a locking member 55. The outside of the tank body 2 is provided with a locking groove 23. The locking member 55 can swing and insert into the locking groove 23 to fix the position of the rotating rod 54 to keep the cavity door plate 52 in a closed state.

[0065] It is understandable that the clamping groove 23 is achieved by setting a limiting element on the tank body 2, or it could be set in other ways, as long as a mechanism for limiting the rotation of the clamping element 55 can be provided. After the clamping element 55 rotates to the clamping position and inserts into the clamping groove 23, the cavity door plate 52 is tightly sealed to the feed hole 53. Combined with the provided sealing ring or sealant, this effectively keeps the cavity door plate 52 in a state of sealing the feed hole 53. Furthermore, the clamping groove 23 allows the clamping element 55 to rotate to the clamping position quickly and easily insert into the clamping groove 23, making operation convenient and simple. Furthermore, to prevent the clamping element 55 from slipping out of the clamping groove 23, the swing engagement position between the clamping element 55 and the rotating rod 54 can be set to be tightly fitted, so that the swing of the clamping element 55 relative to the rotating rod 54 has a certain damping. Alternatively, a detachable limiting pin can be set on the clamping groove 23. After the clamping element 55 swings into the clamping groove 23, the limiting pin is inserted to restrict the clamping element 55 in the clamping groove 23, thus preventing the clamping element 55 from slipping out and causing a failure in the seal between the cavity door plate 52 and the feed hole 53.

[0066] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the tank container provided in this embodiment also includes guide wheels 6. The guide wheels 6 are set on the frame 1. The main function of the guide wheels 6 is to facilitate guiding the tank body 2 into the installation position when installing the tank body 2. The specific installation of the guide wheels 6 will not be further described here.

[0067] It is understandable that, after installation, the springs corresponding to the first elastic mechanism 41, the second elastic mechanism 42, and the third elastic mechanism 43 of the tank container are preferably in a compressed state. This effectively reduces shock while preventing excessive displacement of the tank body. Of course, those skilled in the art can make simple adjustments by selecting different spring elasticities and strengths according to actual needs, which will not be described further here. In addition, the contact between the plug-in part 431 and the plug-in slot 311, the non-elastic contact surface between the plug-in part 431 and the mounting part 4111, and the non-elastic contact surface between the connector 411 and the mounting slot should be selected to be as close as possible to ensure that there is no excessive relative movement in other directions except in the elastic expansion and contraction direction. At the same time, it can also strengthen the structural strength of the overall elastic component. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments according to actual needs during specific implementation.

[0068] The working process and principle of the tank container of the present invention:

[0069] During the assembly of the tank container, the tank body 2 is moved into the frame 1 along the guide wheels 6. Then, the tank body 2 fixing component 31 is installed on the outside of the tank body 2 and fixed thereon. Specifically, in this embodiment, it abuts against the positioning ring 21. Next, the frame fixing component 32 is installed from one end of the frame 1, aligning it together with the elastic component 4 with the tank body fixing component 31. The connector 431 of the elastic component 4 is inserted into the slot 311 on the tank body fixing component 31 to form a connection. Then, the frame fixing component 32 is installed and fixed onto the mounting base 11 of the frame 1 using bolts. Similarly, from the other end of the frame 1, the frame fixing component 32 is connected to the elastic component 4, so that the connector 431 of the elastic component 4 is aligned with the slot 311 of the tank body fixing component 31 for connection. The fixing devices 3 at both ends form a clamp to fix the tank body 2 to the frame 1. During liquid transportation, if shaking or vibration occurs, the tank body 2 may sway or vibrate back and forth, up and down, or left and right. The elastic component 4 can absorb the vibration. When it is necessary to disassemble the tank, simply reverse the installation process; further details will not be provided here.

[0070] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0071] The tank container provided by the present invention clamps the tank onto the frame by setting two sets of fixing mechanisms. The fixing device 3 includes a tank fixing component 31 and a frame fixing component 32. The tank fixing component 31 and the frame fixing component 32 are connected by an elastic component 4, so that the tank 2 and the frame 1 can move elastically through the elastic connection between the corresponding tank fixing component 31 and the frame fixing component 32. When shaking or vibration occurs, the elastic component 4 is used to dampen the vibration of the tank and prevent the loaded liquid cargo from shaking or being violently agitated, which helps to protect the transported products.
