Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oil tanker technology, specifically a self-stabilizing oil tanker. Background Technology

[0002] Tanker trucks offer various refueling or oil transportation functions depending on their purpose and operating environment, including oil suction, pumping, and dispensing of different types of oil. The specialized components of a tanker truck consist of the tank body, power take-off (PTO), drive shaft, gear oil pump, and piping system. The piping system comprises an oil pump, three-way four-position ball valves, two-way ball valves, filters, and pipes. Tank shapes include square, oval, and round.

[0003] During the operation of tanker trucks, numerous unexpected situations arise on the road, such as emergency lane changes, which can easily cause the oil inside the tank to slosh. Existing baffles are mainly designed to counteract the wave effect of oil moving forward and backward within the tank, but they have limited buffering effect on lateral sloshing. If the lateral sloshing of the oil within the tank is large, the lateral force on the tanker truck will increase, potentially leading to rollovers and other safety accidents, thus reducing the safety of tanker truck operation. Bumps cause the oil inside the tank to slosh continuously, repeatedly impacting the tank wall and easily causing fatigue cracks, especially in weak areas such as welds and joints. Over time, these cracks may gradually widen, potentially leading to tank leaks and safety accidents. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] To effectively solve the above problems, see the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figures 1-7 As shown, a self-stabilizing tanker truck includes a tank body 1, a manhole 11, and a baffle 12, the baffle 12 having a flow hole 13 at its center; it also includes:

[0032] A longitudinal baffle 14 is disposed inside the tank body 1 and is vertically fixed by a fastener. A support ring 15 is provided on one side of the anti-surge plate 12, and a rotating ring 16 is provided at one end of the longitudinal baffle 14. The rotating ring 16 is rotatably connected to the support ring 15 by a ball bearing. A scraper 17 is sleeved on the top of the longitudinal baffle 14 and is slidably connected to the longitudinal baffle 14 by a spring. Grooves 18 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the longitudinal baffle 14, and buffer plates 19 are evenly distributed in the grooves 18. The buffer plates 19 are vertically facing the bottom of the tank body 1 and are hinged to the inner wall of the grooves 18 by a torsion spring. The bottoms of the longitudinal baffle 14 and the buffer plates 19 are far away from the inner wall of the tank body 1. A chain 2 is sleeved on the rotating ring 16 and the top of the chain 2 is fixed to the top of the anti-surge plate 12. The top of each anti-surge plate 12 is located below the manhole 11.

[0033] A secondary baffle 21 is provided on both sides of the longitudinal baffle 14, with one end of the secondary baffle 21 located in the middle of the longitudinal baffle 14 and the other end close to the top of the oil tank; a worm gear 22 is provided in the middle of the longitudinal baffle 14, and the worm gear 22 is connected to one end of the secondary baffle 21; a worm 23 is rotatably connected to the longitudinal baffle 14, and the worm gear 22 is connected to the worm 23; a sleeve 24 for connecting to the outside is installed on the manhole 11, and the top of the worm 23 is fitted inside the bottom of the sleeve 24;

[0034] The fasteners are conventional hardware used for connection and fixation, such as bolts. When the tank 1 does not need to be cleaned, the longitudinal baffle 14 is vertically fixed inside the tank 1 by bolts. When the tank 1 needs to be cleaned, the bolts used for fixing on the longitudinal baffle 14 are removed. The rotating ring 16 is rotatably connected to the support ring 15 by ball bearings, reducing the friction between the two and reducing wear. The chain 2 is fitted onto the rotating ring 16, and the top of the chain 2 is fixed to the anti-surge plate 12 near the manhole 11 by bolts. When cleaning, the chain 2 is connected by a rotating device, and the rotating ring 16 is rotated by driving the chain 2 to rotate. The worker can also remove the chain 2 when cleaning is not needed, and put the chain 2 back onto the rotating ring 16 when cleaning is needed. The longitudinal baffle 14 divides the internal space of the tank 1 into a left cavity and a right cavity. The tank 1 is a conventional circular type, and the tank 1 is equipped with observation points, which allow the driver and workers to accurately observe the oil level in the tank 1.

[0035] Specific workflow: When the oil in tank 1 sloshes longitudinally, it collides with the baffle plate 12 and flows through the flow hole 13 in the center of the baffle plate 12. The multiple baffle plates 12 obstruct the oil, reducing the kinetic energy of the oil sloshing back and forth in tank 1, thus achieving a buffering effect. When the oil sloshes left and right, for example, when the oil in the left cavity of tank 1 flows to the right cavity, since the longitudinal baffle plate 14 is vertically fixed, the buffer plate 19 is also vertical. The flow of oil squeezes and pushes the buffer plate 19, which is hinged by a torsion spring. The groove 18 is opened by swinging, so that when the oil passes through the longitudinal baffle 14 through the groove 18, part of the oil's kinetic energy acts on the longitudinal baffle 14. The longitudinal baffle 14 is located in the middle of the tank body 1, and also in the middle of the tank truck. This causes the oil in the left cavity of the tank body 1 to impact the longitudinal baffle 14, and the oil in the right cavity of the tank body 1 to impact the side wall of the tank body 1. This distributes the impact of the oil, reduces the force of the oil impacting one side of the tank body 1, and avoids all the oil in the tank body 1 impacting a single side wall of the tank body 1, which would increase the risk of tipping over.

[0036] Furthermore, the buffer plate 19, through the torsion spring connection, can offset part of the impact of the oil as it passes through the longitudinal baffle 14, reducing the impact on the longitudinal baffle 14 and providing buffering for the longitudinal baffle 14, thereby improving the buffering effect on the oil flow and thus improving the stability of the tanker truck when turning. In addition, since the buffer plate 19 and the groove 18 are located at the bottom of the longitudinal baffle 14, the oil in the left cavity of the tank 1 flows to the right cavity at the bottom of the longitudinal baffle 14, that is, the lower half of the tank 1, thereby stabilizing the center of gravity of the tank 1 in the middle of the tanker truck and improving stability. Moreover, compared with the oil flowing directly to the inner wall of the tank 1, the longitudinal baffle 14 divides the interior of the tank 1, reducing the flow space and free flow path of the oil, dispersing the flow kinetic energy of the oil, and together with the above effects, further improving the buffering effect, thereby improving the stability of the tanker truck during operation.

[0037] When the amount of oil in tank 1 decreases, for example, when tank 1 is half full, the space for oil to slosh around inside tank 1 increases. Therefore, the driver and worker observe the oil level through the observation point on tank 1. Under safe conditions, the worker twists the sleeve 24, which drives the worm gear 23 to rotate. The worm gear 23 drives the worm wheel 22 to rotate, and the worm wheel 22 drives the auxiliary baffle 21 to swing from top to bottom until one side of the auxiliary baffle 21 contacts the oil surface, confining the oil to the lower half of tank 1, reducing the flow space of the oil, reducing the sloshing amplitude of the oil, thereby improving the buffering effect, and thus improving the self-stabilization effect of the tanker truck and improving its practicality.

[0038] Some components in the oil are prone to oxidation upon contact with air. Oxidized oil produces gel-like substances and sediments, which adhere to the inside of tank 1, increasing dirt accumulation. When the tanker needs cleaning, workers reset the auxiliary baffle 21, perform safety treatment on the inside of tank 1, and open the manhole 11. The manhole 11 drives the sleeve 24 to disengage from the worm gear 23. Workers connect the chain 2 to the driven device through the manhole 11. The chain 2 drives the rotating ring 16 to rotate, and the rotating ring 16 rotates on the support ring 15 via ball bearings. The rotating ring 16 drives the longitudinal baffle 14 to rotate, and the longitudinal baffle 14 drives the scraper 17 to scrape the inner wall of tank 1, removing dirt and reducing the residue of impurities on the inner wall, improving the cleanliness of tank 1, and reducing oil contamination, thereby improving the cleanliness of the tanker during oil transportation. Furthermore, the inside of tank 1 has been safely treated before the scraper 17 cleans, so the scraping of the scraper 17 will not affect safety.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] Based on Embodiment 1, the scraper 17 is provided with a sliding plate 25 at the end away from the longitudinal baffle 14. The sliding plate 25 is composed of a mounting plate 26 and a hinge plate 27. Each mounting plate 26 has a hinge plate 27 hinged at both ends. One mounting plate 26 and two hinge plates 27 form a group, and multiple groups are connected to form a sliding plate 25. The bottom of the mounting plate 26 is connected to the scraping groove 28 opened at the end of the scraper 17. The mounting plate 26 is inserted through the scraping groove 28 near the manhole 11, and the sliding plate 25 is fixed to the scraper 17 with bolts through the manhole 11. A cleaning brush 29 is provided on one side of the sliding plate 25, and the cleaning brush 29 contacts the inner wall of the tank 1. The two ends of the cleaning brush 29 contact the connection between the longitudinal baffle 14 and the anti-surge plate 12, respectively. A guide tube 3 is provided on one side of the longitudinal baffle 14, and one end of the guide tube 3 is close to the inner wall of the tank 1. A camera component 31 is provided inside the guide tube 3.

[0041] The longitudinal baffle 14 is provided with a steam pipe 32, one end of which is close to the inner wall of the oil tank, and the other end is located between the longitudinal baffle 14 and the baffle 12 and below the manhole 11. The steam pipe 32 and the guide pipe 3 are located on both sides of the longitudinal baffle 14.

[0042] The top of the mounting plate 26 is uniformly provided with extrusion blocks 33, and the extrusion blocks 33 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 26 by springs. One end of the extrusion block 33 is connected to a sensor 34 inside the mounting plate 26. The sensor 34 is away from the steam pipe 32.

[0043] The end of the extrusion block 33 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped outer surface of the end of the extrusion block 33 contacts the inner wall of the oil tank through the roller 35. The arc-shaped end of the extrusion block 33 away from the roller 35 contacts the inner wall of the oil tank.

[0044] The inner surface of the extrusion block 33 is provided with a collection groove 36, and the top of the collection groove 36 is located on the inner surface of the extrusion block 33 away from the inner wall of the oil tank, and the bottom of the collection groove 36 is located on the outer surface of the extrusion block 33 away from the roller 35. The bottom of the collection groove 36 is provided with filter cotton 37; the filter cotton 37 is a conventional part used for filtering oil.

[0045] During the installation of mounting plate 26, remove the fixing parts of scraper groove 28 near manhole 11, such as fixing bolts and fixing plates. Place the bottom of mounting plate 26 into scraper groove 28 below manhole 11, and place them one by one, connecting them one by one through hinge plate 27, until the end of scraper 17 is covered. Then reinstall the fixing parts to fix the mounting plate 26 in scraper groove 28, keeping the sliding plate 25 composed of mounting plate 26 and hinge plate 27 in contact with the inner wall of tank 1 and the inner wall of baffle 12. The mounting plate 26 located at the corner of scraper 17 realizes the swing function of adjacent mounting plates 26 through hinge plate 27, so that the mounting plate 26 is fixed at the corner of scraper 17, and the sliding plate 25 cleans the dead corner of the connection between baffle 12 and inner wall of tank 1 by cleaning brush 29. When steam needs to be introduced, the worker connects to steam pipe 32 through external steam equipment. The longitudinal baffle 14 is rotated less than one revolution to the left and then rotated slightly to the right. The longitudinal baffle 14 rotates in a cycle of one week to avoid the steam pipe 32 from becoming entangled due to continuous rotation in the same direction. The camera component 31 is a conventional device for taking pictures, and the sensor 34 is a conventional pressure sensor. Both the camera component 31 and the sensor 34 are high-temperature resistant. When cleaning is required, the camera component 31 is inserted into the guide tube 3 through the manhole 11 and fixed. The shooting end of the camera component 31 is close to the inner wall of the tank 1. When cleaning is not required, the camera component 31 and the sliding plate 25 are removed. Moreover, workers can clean the tank 1 through the manhole 11 safely, improving convenience. Furthermore, the steam pipe 32 and the guide tube 3 are located on both sides of the longitudinal baffle 14. When steam is ejected from the steam pipe 32, the camera component 31 is located on the other side of the longitudinal baffle 14. The longitudinal baffle 14 acts as a barrier to prevent steam from approaching the camera component 31, reducing the impact on the camera component 31 and improving practicality.

[0046] Specific workflow: When cleaning tank 1, the worker installs the sliding plate 25. The cleaning brush 29 located at the top of the scraper 17 contacts the inner wall of tank 1, the cleaning brushes 29 located on both sides of the scraper 17 contact the surface of the baffle 12, and the cleaning brushes 29 located at the corners of the scraper 17 contact the dead corners of the baffle 12. Although tank 1 is cylindrical, it cannot be guaranteed that tank 1 will not deform during production and use. The scraper 17 and the longitudinal baffle 14 are connected by a spring, which allows the scraper 17 to fit more closely to the inner wall of tank 1 and clean the inner wall. The cleaning brush 29 cleans along the inner wall of the tank 1, improving the cleaning effect while reducing rigid contact and avoiding damage to the tank 1. During the cleaning process, the scraper 17 drives the cleaning brush 29 to rotate. The camera component 31 performs visual inspection of the inner wall of the tank 1 by illuminating it with a light source. If the camera component 31 still finds dirt after one cleaning cycle of the cleaning brush 29, it means that the dirt is difficult to clean. By driving the chain 2 to rotate forward and backward at a high frequency, the cleaning brush 29 can repeatedly scrub the dirt and improve the cleaning effect.

[0047] Furthermore, during repeated washing, steam is sprayed onto the dirt through the steam pipe 32, increasing the temperature of the inner wall of the tank 1, softening the dirt, and improving the cleaning effect. Continuously introducing steam into the tank 1 also dilutes the internal environment, maintaining continuous flow of the internal environment during cleaning and preventing potential hazards due to insufficient internal environment flow. Moreover, when the mounting plate 26 rotates, it causes the squeezing block 33 to rotate and contact the inner wall of the tank 1. The sensor 34 between the squeezing block 33 and the mounting plate 26 detects a set value. If the squeezing block 33 moves along the inner wall of the tank 1 to an uneven area, it is affected by the spring and moves away from or deeper into the mounting plate 26. If the pressure change detected by the sensor 34 exceeds the range, it will be fed back to the worker via signal transmission. The worker can then promptly detect any issues with the tank based on the data. 1. Damage or deformation of the inner wall, and the range of deformation, for example: when the squeezing block 33 moves to the recessed part of the inner wall of the tank 1, the squeezing block 33 enters the recess and moves away from the mounting plate 26, and the sensor 34 detects that the pressure between the squeezing block 33 and the mounting plate 26 is greatly reduced; when the squeezing block 33 moves to the protruding part of the inner wall of the tank 1, the protrusion pushes the squeezing block 33 up, and the squeezing block 33 penetrates into the mounting plate 26, and the sensor 34 detects that the pressure between the squeezing block 33 and the mounting plate 26 is greatly increased; when the squeezing block 33 rotates, on the one hand, it can scrape off dirt through a small area of ​​contact, improve the cleaning contact force, and thus improve the cleaning effect; on the other hand, it can detect the damage and deformation of the inner wall of the tank 1 through the squeezing block 33, so that workers can use pressure data to assist in the inspection and maintenance of the inner wall of the tank 1;

[0048] When the mounting plate 26 drives the extrusion block 33 to rotate forward, the extrusion block 33 contacts the inner wall of the oil tank through the roller 35, reducing friction during normal cleaning, reducing frictional damage, and increasing protection for the inner wall of the tank 1; when the mounting plate 26 drives the extrusion block 33 to rotate in reverse, the arc-shaped tip of the extrusion block 33 moves along the inner wall of the tank 1, and the extrusion block 33 inserts into the dirt through the arc-shaped tip, cleaning the dirt by shoveling, and further improving the cleaning effect and the cleanliness of the tank 1 by combining with the action of steam and cleaning brush 29; and, due to the extrusion The inner surface of the extrusion block 33 contacts the dirt. After the dirt is scraped off, it slides along the inner surface of the extrusion block 33 into the collection tank 36, reducing the residue of dirt and preventing too much dirt from falling out of the tank 1, which would affect the normal subsequent cleaning work. Moreover, during cleaning, some water and other special cleaning solutions will collect at the bottom of the tank 1. During the cleaning process, the extrusion block 33 moves in reverse and passes through the bottom of the tank 1. The cleaning solution passes through the extrusion block 33 through the collection tank 36. The filter cotton 37 filters the passing cleaning solution, collects impurities, and further improves the cleanliness.

[0049] Example 3:

[0050] Based on Embodiment 2, elastic plates 38 are evenly provided on one side of the sub-baffle 21, with one elastic plate 38 located at the top of the sub-baffle 21 and the other elastic plate 38 located at the bottom of the sub-baffle 21. The bottom of the sub-baffle 21 is connected to the longitudinal baffle 14 through the elastic plate 38. The elastic plate 38 is a conventional rubber plate and has wear-resistant properties. The elastic plate 38 located at the top of the sub-baffle 21 is the upper elastic plate 38, and the elastic plate 38 located at the bottom of the sub-baffle 21 is the lower elastic plate 38.

[0051] The elastic plate 38 located at the top of the sub-baffle 21 is arc-shaped, and a support piece 39 is provided inside the elastic plate 38. The arc-shaped support piece 39 contacts the inner wall of the oil tank through the elastic plate 38; the support piece 39 is made of elastic metal.

[0052] Specific workflow: When the sub-baffle 21 flips, the top of the upper elastic plate 38 contacts the inner wall of the tank 1, and the curvature of the upper elastic plate 38 continues to increase along its original bending direction, maintaining the effect of the upper elastic plate 38 in intercepting and guiding the oil against the inner wall of the tank 1. The lower elastic plate 38 is bent due to the flipping effect of the sub-baffle 21. During the shaking process, the oil is guided by the elastic plate 38, improving the smoothness of the oil passing through the angle of the sub-baffle 21, reducing the impact of the oil at this point, dispersing the impact kinetic energy, and thus improving the buffering effect. In addition, the upper elastic plate 38 scrapes downward along the inner wall of the tank 1 during the movement, on the one hand reducing the area of ​​oil contacting the inner wall of the tank 1, reducing the area of ​​dirt generated on the inner wall of the tank 1, which helps with subsequent cleaning work; on the other hand, scraping the inner wall of the tank 1 and wiping the inner wall of the tank 1 with rubber reduces the initial generation of dirt, which helps with subsequent cleaning work.

[0053] By setting the support plate 39, a supporting force is provided for the elastic plate 38 during the bending process, which avoids the elastic plate 38 bending too much and reducing the contact between the elastic plate 38 and the inner wall of the tank 1. This improves the blocking effect of the elastic plate 38 on the oil while also improving the cleaning power of the elastic plate 38 on the inner wall of the tank 1.

[0054] Example 4:

[0055] Based on Embodiment 3, the auxiliary baffle 21 is uniformly provided with an elastic filter screen 4 on one side, and the filter screen 4 is in the shape of a herringbone. At the bottom of the filter screen 4, one end is bent close to the middle of the elastic plate 38, and the other end is bent away from the elastic plate 38.

[0056] A connecting bracket 41 is provided between the support plate 39 and the filter screen 4, and the connecting bracket 41 is used for the assembly and disassembly of the filter screen 4, and the filter screen 4 and the connecting bracket 41 are connected by a pull rope 42.

[0057] Specific workflow: During the oil sloshing process, if the auxiliary baffle 21 does not contact the oil surface, the oil will contact the filter screen 4 during the surging process and enter the interior of the filter screen 4 through the top, thus filtering the oil and improving its cleanliness. If the auxiliary baffle 21 contacts the oil surface, the filter screen 4 is located below the oil, and the oil will be filtered by the filter screen 4 as it descends and is discharged, thus improving the cleanliness of the discharged oil. Furthermore, during the filtration process, the pull rope 42 pulls and supports the filter screen 4 to prevent it from being bent or deformed.

[0058] By setting the connecting bracket 41, the support strength of the filter screen 4 during filtration is improved, and the sturdiness of the filter screen 4 is enhanced. Furthermore, during disassembly and assembly, the longitudinal baffle 14 is rotated to a horizontal position, and the worker stands on the flat longitudinal baffle 14 to replace the filter screen 4 through the connecting bracket 41, thereby improving the ease of use and thus enhancing practicality.

[0059] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
