[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown: a transport device with a tank tipping function, including a vehicle body and a tank body 2. The vehicle body and the tank body 2 are specifically introduced in detail below.

[0030] The vehicle body includes a frame 10, a frame lifting mechanism 11, a tank clamping mechanism 12, a tank lifting mechanism 13, a steering mechanism 14, a cab 15, and a power mechanism 16, wherein:

[0031] The frame 10 is provided with a groove 100 for receiving the tank 2. In this embodiment, the groove 100 is provided on the side of the frame 10, i.e., it is open on one side and is U-shaped without any obstacles. The tank 2 can be loaded into the frame 10 through the groove 100. Preferably, guide grooves 101 are provided on the frame 10 on both sides of the groove 100, which can serve as guides for loading the tank 2.

[0032] The tank body clamping mechanism 12 and the tank body lifting mechanism 13 are both connected to the vehicle frame 10 and are arranged around the groove 100.

[0033] The tank body clamping mechanism 12 is arranged on opposite sides of the groove 100 for clamping the tank body 2. Specifically, the tank body clamping mechanism 12 is arranged in the guide groove 101 of the frame 10. The tank body clamping mechanism 12 can adopt a telescopic cylinder, such as a gas cylinder, an oil cylinder, etc. A pair of telescopic cylinders are provided for clamping from both sides or up and down.

[0034] The tank lifting mechanism 13 is connected to the frame 10 between the tank clamping mechanisms 12 on both sides, that is, the frame 10 at the bottom of the groove 100, and is used to connect with the tank 2 to control its tipping. The tank lifting mechanism 13 can also be a telescopic cylinder, such as a gas cylinder, an oil cylinder, etc. One end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the frame 10, and the other end is used to connect with the tank 2.

[0035] The steering mechanism 14 and the frame lifting mechanism 11 are both connected to the bottom of the frame 10, and a steering mechanism 14, a frame lifting mechanism 11, and a tire constitute a walking assembly. Specifically, the steering mechanism 14 is connected to the bottom of the frame 10, the frame lifting mechanism 11 is connected to the steering mechanism 14, and the wheel 17 is connected to the frame lifting mechanism 14. The steering mechanism 14 can drive the entire frame lifting mechanism 11 and the wheel 17 to turn; the frame lifting mechanism 11 is used to lift the frame 10, and the frame lifting mechanism 11 can adopt a lifting suspension; the wheel 17 is a double tire and installed. Multiple groups of walking assemblies are set along the front and rear direction of the frame 10, and two groups are set along the left and right direction of the frame 10.

[0036] The cab 15 is connected to one end of the frame 10, and the power mechanism 16 is connected to the frame 10 below the cab 15 to provide power for each mechanism. In addition, a tank monitoring system can be provided in the cab 15, and the outflow position of the tank can be adjusted by a remote monitoring device in the cab 15 to ensure personnel safety.

[0037] The tank body 2 includes a tank body 20, a tank body rotating mechanism 21, and a connecting portion 22. The tank body rotating mechanism 21 is respectively connected to opposite sides of the tank body 2, and the tank body 20 can rotate relative to the tank body rotating mechanism 21. The tank body rotating mechanism 21 can use a rotating shaft, and the tank body clamping mechanism 12 clamps the tank body rotating mechanism 21 from both sides or from top to bottom, which can not only fix the tank body 2, but also fine-tune the center of gravity of the tank body 2, so that the frame 10 is evenly stressed; the connecting portion 22 is arranged at the bottom of the tank body 20, and is used to connect with the tank body lifting mechanism 13.

[0038] The transport device of this embodiment has multiple states of tank transport, tank loading, and tank tipping. When the tank is transported: the tank body 20 is located in the groove 100, the tank clamping mechanism 12 tightens the tank rotating mechanism 21, and the extension direction of the axis of the wheel 17 is consistent with the opening direction of the groove 100; when the tank is loaded, the extension direction of the axis of the wheel 17 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the groove 10; when the tank is tipped: the tank lifting mechanism 13 lifts the bottom of the tank body 20, and at the same time, the frame lifting mechanism 11 located on one side of the tank lifting mechanism 13 rises, and / or the frame lifting mechanism 11 located on the other side of the tank lifting mechanism 13 descends.

[0039] The working process of this embodiment is described in detail below:

[0040] When the tank body 2 needs to be transported, the tank body 2 is placed on a flat surface, the frame lifting mechanism 11 is lowered, so that the opening of the groove 100 on the frame 10 is facing the tank body 2, the steering mechanism 14 is turned 90 degrees, and the device travels horizontally, with the guide groove 101 on the frame 10 facing the tank body rotating mechanism 21, so that the tank body rotating mechanism 21 enters the guide groove 101. When the tank body 2 is in place in the guide groove 101, the tank body clamping mechanism 12 clamps the tank body rotating mechanism 21, thereby fixing the tank body 2, the frame lifting mechanism 11 rises, the steering mechanism 14 is turned 90 degrees, and the device can travel as a whole vehicle. Figure 4-8 As shown;

[0041] When the liquid in the tank body 2 needs to be poured out, the steering mechanism 14 turns 90 degrees, the tank body lifting mechanism 13 contracts, the tank body rotating mechanism 21 turns, the tank body 20 slowly rotates, and then the frame lifting mechanism 11 on one side of the tank body lifting mechanism 13 rises, and the frame lifting mechanism 11 on the other side of the tank body lifting mechanism 13 falls, and the liquid in the tank body 20 can slowly flow out. Fig. 9 , 10 shown.
