Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of special vehicles, and in particular to a milk tanker, a tank body and a tank body forming method. Background Art

[0002] At present, fresh milk needs to be transported at low temperatures during long-distance transportation to prevent it from spoiling. Existing milk tankers generally use two methods to refrigerate and insulate milk. One is to set a coil inside the tank body, and the coil is connected to an external refrigeration device. This structure, because the coil is set inside the tank body, causes great inconvenience to the cleaning quality and efficiency during cleaning; the other is to set the coil on the outer surface of the tank body. Due to the limited contact area between the coil and the tank body, the cooling effect is not ideal, and the temperature at the front end of the tank body is often lower and the temperature at the tail end is higher, which is not conducive to the long-distance transportation of fresh milk. At the same time, due to the long length of the coil, the coil is prone to loosening after long-term use, which leads to loosening of the interfaces of the coil, resulting in refrigerant leakage, affecting the refrigeration effect, and even contaminating the fresh milk in the tank in severe cases. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings and provides a tank body, which comprises an inner tank and an expansion plate, the expansion plate is welded to the outer surface of the inner tank by pressure welding points, an expansion space is formed between the expansion plate and the outer surface of the inner tank, a refrigerant feed interface is provided at the top of the expansion plate, a refrigerant discharge interface is provided at the bottom of the expansion plate, an insulation layer is provided on the outer surface of the insulation layer, an outer skin is provided on the outer tank, a tank mouth is provided on the inner tank, and a refrigeration device is externally connected to the refrigerant feed interface and the refrigerant discharge interface.

[0004] The present invention also provides a can body forming method as described above, comprising the following steps: Lay down the tank body plate and open the lower tank opening hole on the tank body plate; Cut the expansion plate, and cut the upper tank opening, feed hole and discharge hole on the expansion plate; Lay the expansion plate flat on the tank body plate, and partially position weld the two sides of the expansion plate on the tank body plate so that the center of the upper tank mouth hole and the lower tank mouth hole coincide with each other; The tank body plate and the expansion plate are integrally rolled into a round shape, and then the circular tank body plate is separated from the circular expansion plate, and the circular tank body plate is made into an inner tank, and a refrigerant feed interface and a refrigerant discharge interface are welded at the feed hole and the discharge hole of the expansion plate; The circular expansion plate and the inner tank are re-nested and positioned, the expansion plate is fully welded to the inner tank around the periphery, the upper tank opening hole is fully welded to the lower tank opening hole, and the other parts of the expansion plate are matrix spot welded to the inner tank by a spot welding machine; An external expansion machine is connected to the refrigerant feed interface and the refrigerant discharge interface to expand the expansion plate so that an expansion space is formed at the unwelded area between the expansion plate and the tank plate; after the expansion is completed, the expansion machine is removed; Weld and install the tank mouth at the upper tank mouth hole and the lower tank mouth hole; An external refrigeration device is connected at the refrigerant feed interface and the refrigerant discharge interface; A heat-insulating layer and an outer skin are arranged on the outer surface of the expansion plate to form the tank body.

[0005] Furthermore, the area of ​​the expansion plate is smaller than the area of ​​the tank body plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the thickness of the tank body plate is 4-5 mm, and the thickness of the expansion plate is 1-3 mm.

[0007] Furthermore, the diameter of the upper tank mouth hole is greater than the diameter of the lower tank mouth hole.

[0008] The present invention further provides a milk tanker, comprising a chassis and a tank body arranged on the chassis, wherein the tank body is any one of the tank bodies described above.

[0009] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. After expansion, an expansion space is formed between the outer wall of the inner tank and the expansion plate. During refrigeration, the area through which the refrigerant flows is larger, the refrigeration effect is faster and better, and it is conducive to the low-temperature long-distance transportation of fresh milk.

[0010] It is no longer necessary to set coils on the inside or outside wall of the tank, the structure is simpler, and the production cost is greatly reduced compared with before.

[0011] Since an expansion plate is provided on the outside of the inner tank, the strength of the inner tank is increased, making it more durable; at the same time, since the coil structure is abandoned, the refrigerant flows between the expansion plate and the outer wall of the inner tank, which improves the cooling effect and effectively prevents refrigerant leakage.
