[0032] In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present invention clear and concise, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and well-known components are omitted.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses an oil storage tank capable of delivering oil barrels in mid-air, and the oil storage tank capable of delivering oil barrels in mid-air comprises: an oil tank body 10, a positioning component and a hoisting device 30.

[0034] Specifically, the oil tank body 10 includes a side wall 11, a top wall 12 located at the top, and a bottom wall 13 located at the bottom, and the side wall 11, the top wall 12, and the bottom wall 13 enclose a chamber; a positioning component, which is located in the chamber of the oil tank body 10, and the positioning component includes a bottom plate 21 for placing the oil barrel and two straps 22 connected to the bottom plate 21 at both ends for binding the oil barrel; a winch device 30, which is installed at the bottom of the top wall 12, and the winch device 30 has a drum 31 and a cable 32 that can be deployed by controlling the rotation of the drum 31, and the cable 32 is installed with The connecting component is detachably connected to the positioning component or the oil barrel; the bottom wall 13 of the oil tank body 10 is configured as a valve that can be opened and closed by pivoting. In non-emergency situations, the oil tank body 10 is suspended in the air with the aircraft, the bottom wall 13 is opened, and the oil barrel is transported to the ground with the fixing device 20 by the winch device 30, and then the connecting component is separated from the oil barrel. Then the winch device 30 recycles the cable 32 to the oil tank body 10, and the bottom is reversely pivoted and closed. Then the oil tank body 10 returns with the aircraft, thereby avoiding the oil tank body 10 from being discarded on the ground. The top wall 12 of the oil tank body 10 has at least two lifting ears 14, and the lifting ears 14 are equipped with a release device 33. The oil tank body 10 is hung on the bottom of the aircraft through the lifting ears 14. The connecting device is configured as the release device 33. In an emergency, after the bottom plate 21 is opened, the release device 33 allows the oil barrel to be directly airdropped with the separation of the fixing device 20 and the winch device 30.

[0035] Based on the above, we can know that:

[0036] In non-emergency situations, the bottom wall 13 of the oil tank body 10 is opened by pivoting through electrical control, and the oil drum is transported to the ground along with the fixing device 20 by the winch device 30. Then, the release device 33 is separated from the fixing device 20 or the oil drum. Then, the cable 32 of the winch device 30 is retracted, and then, the bottom wall 13 is pivoted in the opposite direction to close the bottom of the oil tank body 10, and finally returns with the aircraft.

[0037] In an emergency, the bottom wall 13 of the main body is opened by pivoting through electric control, and the releasing device 33 is released by electric control to release the fixing device 20, and the oil barrel is dropped to the ground along with the fixing device 20. In this case, the hoisting device 30 does not need to perform the unfolding and conveying work. Subsequently, the bottom wall 13 is pivoted in the opposite direction to close the bottom of the oil tank body 10, and finally returns with the aircraft.

[0038] The oil storage bin provided by the present invention will not be discarded on the ground in either emergency or non-emergency situations, thereby saving equipment costs.

[0039] In some preferred solutions, the release device 33 is configured as an electromagnetic release device 33 by electromagnetic attraction.
