[0022] Embodiments of this application are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. Rather, embodiments of this application include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0023] The oil tank surface cleaning device according to an embodiment of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the oil tank surface cleaning device of this application embodiment may include a movable support 1, two limiting components 2, a vertical plate 3, an adjusting component 4, two semi-ring plates 5, two scrubbing components 6, two rinsing components 7, two transmission components 8, two cameras 9, and a controller 10.

[0025] Two limiting components 2 are respectively set on the movable support 1. The limiting components 2 are in contact with the outer wall of the oil tank. A semi-annular groove 11 is detachably connected to the limiting components 2. The upright plate 3 is set on the movable support 1. The side wall of the upright plate 3 is provided with a first sliding module 12. A first sliding table 13 is slidably connected to the first sliding module 12. A support frame 15 is provided on the first sliding table 13.

[0026] It should be noted that the two semi-annular grooves 11 form a circular structure after being closed, and a drain pipe (not shown in the figure) is connected to the bottom of the semi-annular grooves 11 to facilitate the discharge of sewage in the semi-annular grooves 11.

[0027] Furthermore, the upright plate 3 is an L-shaped plate, which supports the first sliding table module 12. The first sliding table module 12 is a linear sliding table module, and the height of the first sliding table module 12 is higher than that of the oil tank. The height of the semi-ring plate 5 can be adjusted vertically through the first sliding table module 12.

[0028] The adjusting component 4 is connected to the support frame 15. The two semi-ring plates 5 are respectively connected to the adjusting component 4. After the two semi-ring plates 5 are closed, they form a ring structure coaxial with the oil tank. The arc-shaped concave surface of the semi-ring plate 5 is provided with a second slide module 14. A second slide 16 is slidably connected to the second slide module 14. The two wiping components 6 are respectively arranged on the corresponding second slide 16, and the wiping components 6 are connected to the semi-ring plate 5.

[0029] It should be noted that the adjustment component 4 described in this embodiment can adjust the opening and closing angle of the two semi-ring plates 5. When the two semi-ring plates 5 are closed, a circular structure is formed, and the circular ring is fitted around the outside of the oil tank.

[0030] Further, see Figure 2 Electromagnetic blocks 22 are embedded and installed at the closed end of the semi-ring plate 5. When the two electromagnetic blocks 22 are energized, they generate magnetism and attract each other, so that the two semi-ring plates 5 can fit together more tightly.

[0031] In the embodiments of this application, the second slide module 14 has a semi-circular arc structure. When the two second slide modules 14 are closed, they form a ring structure, which can drive the scrubbing component 6 and the rinsing component 7 to rotate around the oil tank, so as to better wipe and clean the impurities on the outer wall of the oil tank.

[0032] Two rinsing components 7 are respectively disposed on the upper surface of the corresponding second slide 16, and the rinsing components 7 are connected to the semi-ring plate 5. Two transmission components 8 are respectively disposed on the upper surface of the corresponding second slide 16, and the transmission components 8 are connected to the rinsing components 7.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, when the second slide module 14 is started, it can drive the second slide 16 to move in a circular motion, and through the cooperation of the transmission component 8, drive the flushing component 7 to swing back and forth, thereby enabling a more comprehensive flushing of the oil tank.

[0034] Two cameras 9 are positioned opposite each other on the corresponding second slide 16, and a controller 10 is mounted on the upright plate 3. The controller 10 is connected to the camera 9 and the second slide module 14 respectively.

[0035] It should be noted that the camera 9 described in this embodiment can take pictures of impurities on the surface of the oil tank in a timely manner and transmit the pictures to the controller 10. The controller 10 compares the received picture information with the preset picture and controls the second slide module 14 according to the analysis results to ensure that the impurities on the oil tank can be cleaned.

[0036] Furthermore, the controller 10 can be electrically connected to the camera 9 and the second slide module 14 via wired or wireless means respectively. By analyzing and comparing the photos transmitted by the camera 9, the controller controls the second slide 16 of the second slide module 14 to move back and forth, thereby repeatedly removing impurities that are difficult to clean.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment component 4 may include two support shafts 40 and two first gears 41, wherein the two support shafts 40 are respectively rotatably disposed inside the support frame 15, and the two first gears 41 are respectively disposed on the corresponding support shafts 40, and the two first gears 41 are meshed with each other.

[0038] It should be noted that one of the support shafts 40 described in this embodiment is connected to a drive motor. The drive motor can drive the support shaft 40 to rotate, and through the cooperation between the two first gears 41, it can drive the two semi-ring plates 5 to rotate in opposite directions by a certain angle.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the side wall of the semi-ring plate 5 is provided with a connecting block 17, which is connected to the support shaft 40. When the support shaft 40 rotates, the semi-ring plate 5 can be driven to rotate with the cooperation of the connecting block 17.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the scrubbing assembly 6 may include a connecting shaft 60, a second gear 61, a first arc-shaped toothed plate 62, and a friction head 63. The connecting shaft 60 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the second slide 16, the second gear 61 is mounted on the connecting shaft 60, the lower surface of the semi-annular plate 5 is provided with a first connecting plate 18, the first arc-shaped toothed plate 62 is mounted on the first connecting plate 18 and is meshed with the second gear 61, and the friction head 63 is mounted at the end of the connecting shaft 60.

[0041] It should be noted that a nozzle is provided in the center of the friction head 63. The nozzle is connected to the cleaning agent. The cleaning agent can be pumped into the nozzle by a liquid pump and sprayed onto the surface of the oil tank. The cleaning agent can dissolve some of the oil and impurities. Then, the friction head 63 is used to rub and clean the impurities, thereby improving the removal effect of impurities.

[0042] Furthermore, when the connecting shaft 60 and the second gear 61 follow the circular motion of the second slide table 16, they are restricted by the first arc-shaped toothed plate 62, which allows the connecting shaft 60 to rotate on its own axis, thus improving the cleaning effect on the surface of the oil tank.

[0043] To further clarify the above embodiments, in one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown,

[0044] The flushing assembly 7 may include a support rod 70, an arc plate 71, and a plurality of nozzles 72. The support rod 70 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the second slide table 16, the arc plate 71 is mounted at the end of the support rod 70, and the plurality of nozzles 72 are evenly distributed on the side of the arc plate 71 adjacent to the oil tank.

[0045] It should be noted that the support rod 70 described in this embodiment is an L-shaped rod, the nozzle 72 is a high-pressure nozzle, and the nozzle 72 is connected to an external water source through a liquid pump. The nozzle 72 can rinse the surface of the oil tank, thereby improving the cleaning effect of impurities.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the transmission assembly 8 may include a third gear 80, a second arc-shaped toothed plate 81, a connecting rod 82, and a swing rod 83. The third gear 80 is rotatably mounted above the second slide table 16 via a transmission shaft. The upper surface of the semi-annular plate 5 is provided with a second connecting plate 19. The second arc-shaped toothed plate 81 is connected to the second connecting plate 19 and meshes with the third gear 80. The swing rod 83 is mounted on the support rod 70. One end of the connecting rod 82 is eccentrically hinged to the third gear 80, and the other end of the connecting rod 82 is hinged to the swing rod 83.

[0047] In the embodiments of this application, when the second slide 16 rotates around the oil tank, it can drive the third gear 80 to rotate around the oil tank. At the same time, with the cooperation of the second arc-shaped toothed plate 81, the third gear 80 can rotate. Under the action of the connecting rod 82, it drives the swing rod 83 and the support rod 70 to swing back and forth, and drives the arc-shaped plate 71 and multiple nozzles 72 to swing back and forth. This not only increases the coverage area of ​​the nozzles 72, but also improves the uniformity of the spray from the nozzles 72, which is beneficial for thoroughly and evenly rinsing the oil tank.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the limiting component 2 may include a screw 20 and a limiting plate 21. The screw 20 is threadedly connected to the movable bracket 1, and the limiting plate 21 is disposed at the end of the screw 20 and is fitted to the surface of the oil tank.

[0049] In the embodiments of this application, the movable bracket 1 can be fixed by the cooperation between the screw 20 and the limiting plate 21 to prevent the movable bracket 1 from moving, and multiple movable wheels are provided at the bottom of the movable bracket 1 to facilitate the movement of the entire cleaning device.

[0050] Specifically, when cleaning the surface of the oil tank, the relevant personnel move the entire device to the position of the oil tank and place the two limiting components 2 on both sides of the oil tank. Then, the relevant personnel rotate the screw 20, which drives the limiting plate 21 to move towards the oil tank, and finally the limiting plate 21 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the oil tank.

[0051] Subsequently, relevant personnel controlled one of the support shafts 40 to rotate, and through the cooperation between the two first gears 41, drove the other support shaft 40 to rotate. With the cooperation of the connecting block 17, the two semi-ring plates 5 could rotate in opposite directions, and finally the ends of the two semi-ring plates 5 away from the connecting block 17 were put into contact with each other. With the cooperation of the electromagnetic fastener, the ends of the two semi-ring plates 5 were tightly fitted together. At this time, the two semi-ring plates 5 formed a ring structure coaxially set with the oil tank, and the friction head 63 was in contact with the outer wall of the oil tank.

[0052] Then, the relevant personnel can control the second slide module 14 to start. The second slide module 14 drives the second slide 16 to rotate around the oil tank, and drives the second gear 61 to rotate around the oil tank. Since the first arc-shaped toothed plate 62 is fixed, the second gear 61 can also rotate, thereby driving the connecting shaft 60 and the friction head 63 to rotate, thus achieving the purpose of removing impurities from the surface of the oil tank.

[0053] Furthermore, the camera 9 can take pictures of the wiped area in a timely manner and transmit the pictures to the controller 10. The controller 10 determines whether the impurities have been cleaned based on the pictures. If there are still impurities on the surface of the oil tank, the controller 10 controls the second slide 16 to move back and forth in the area to focus on repeatedly rubbing the stubborn impurities, thereby improving the effect of impurity removal.

[0054] Meanwhile, the second slide 16 can also drive the third gear 80 to rotate around the oil tank, and through the cooperation of the second arc-shaped toothed plate 81, drive the third gear 80 to rotate. Then, with the cooperation of the connecting rod 82 and the swing rod 83, drive the support rod 70 to swing back and forth to evenly wash the surface of the oil tank.

[0055] Finally, the relevant personnel controlled the first slide module 12 to start, and the first slide 13 slowly moved downward to thoroughly clean the surface of the oil tank, effectively avoiding the residue of impurities and improving the quality of the oil tank surface cleaning.

[0056] In summary, the oil tank surface cleaning device of this application embodiment can achieve comprehensive removal of impurities on the surface of the oil tank, avoid impurity residue, and thus significantly improve the cleaning effect of the oil tank surface.
