Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rust removal equipment, and in particular relates to sandblasting rust removal equipment for large oil tanks. Background Art

[0002] Oil storage tanks, referred to as oil tanks or storage tanks, are large containers with regular shapes used to store oil products. They can be divided into metal oil tanks and non-metal oil tanks according to different construction materials. Most metal oil tanks are steel oil tanks, which are commonly used in oil depots; non-metal oil tanks are also called "earth oil tanks". Due to poor safety risks, they have been gradually eliminated since the 1990s.

[0003] Crude oil storage tanks are key equipment in the storage and transportation process of petroleum and petrochemical enterprises. Oil storage tanks operate under natural environment and liquid level changes, and are affected by many adverse factors, which inevitably cause various damages. Because they are in the outdoor environment all year round, steel oil tanks are very prone to rust, and the rust of the tank body has a great impact on its service life. Therefore, the problem of rust removal and painting of the tank body is unavoidable. Usually, each oil tank needs to be rust-proofed on the inner and outer walls of the entire tank every 4 to 6 years.

[0004] The commonly used treatment method at present is to build scaffolding or hanging basket and manually complete the rust removal and painting operations. This treatment method has low work efficiency and high labor intensity.

[0005] The inventor of the present application discovered that the above technology has at least the following technical problems during the process of removing rust from oil tanks:

[0006] 1. Manual rust removal depends on manual control of the rust removal process, and stability and consistency are difficult to control;

[0007] 2. In addition, manual rust removal requires rust removal around the oil tank in circles, multiple changes of position and adjustment of workstation gaps. The processing position is relatively limited and it is inconvenient to adjust. For this reason, we propose a large oil tank sandblasting rust removal equipment to solve the above problems.
