Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of ton tank technology, and in particular to an integrated ton tank. Background Technology
[0002] A tonne tank (MTT) is a medium-sized bulk container, an essential tool for modern warehousing and transportation of liquid products. The TMT consists of an inner container and a metal frame. The inner container is made of high-molecular-weight, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) through blow molding, offering high strength, corrosion resistance, and good hygiene. Using TMT packaging significantly reduces production, storage, transportation, and operational costs. It saves substantial manpower and resources, saving up to 35% of storage space compared to traditional packaging. Forklifts can be used for loading and unloading, reducing the hassle of manual handling. Filling capacity: 1 TMT equals 5 200L drums. The filling process reduces the hassle of repeated operations and avoids waste such as leakage and spillage.
[0003] However, current ton tank structures generate numerous weld seams during manufacturing, affecting aesthetics. Insufficient curvature of the ton tank surface also leads to insufficient overall stress, necessitating improvement. Chinese Patent CN216334311U discloses an integrated ton tank, including a frame. Bases are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the tray. An integrated top cover is fixedly connected to the top of the inner container. A feed inlet is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the integrated top cover. Several grooves are provided on the surfaces of both the inner container and the integrated top cover. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the fixing frame. A bent pipe is fixedly connected to the front side of the top of the integrated top cover. In this invention, the integrated top cover design reduces weld seams, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing and practical design. The grooves on the integrated top cover and the inner container increase the overall curvature of the inner container, enhancing its practicality. Rotating the rotating component moves it upwards, then moving the pressure plate disengages it from the cover surface. Pulling the handle opens the cover. The addition of a sealing gasket further improves the sealing and stability of the feed inlet.
[0004] During transportation, ton containers are typically loaded onto trucks using forklifts and then stacked together for transport. Most existing metal frames are simply fitted directly onto the outer surface of the inner container and secured with screws. However, during handling and transportation, the sloshing of the solution inside the ton container and the bumps during movement can easily cause collisions, compression, and friction between the inner container and the metal frame. Over time, this can lead to wear and leakage of the inner container and even the ton container tipping over. Therefore, to improve the stability and safety of ton containers during transportation and handling, this invention provides an integrated ton container. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, this application provides an integrated ton tank.
[0006] The integrated ton tank provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An integrated ton tank includes an inner container comprising an integrally molded base and a barrel body. An integral top cover is fixedly connected to the top of the barrel body. Several sets of positioning rings are evenly distributed on the sides of the inner container, with reinforcing ribs connecting the positioning rings on the same horizontal plane. The base of the inner container and adjacent side walls of the barrel body all feature arc-shaped transitions. An airbag stabilization mechanism includes several sets of airbags and a gas supply mechanism. The airbags are arranged in a ring on the inner side of the barrel body, each airbag containing several circumferentially distributed independent air chambers. The surface of the airbags has a honeycomb texture structure and a hydrophobic coating. The gas supply mechanism includes a swing plate rotatably mounted at the bottom of the barrel body. An air pump mechanism is connected to both sides of the swing plate via universal joints, and the air outlet pipe of the air pump mechanism is connected to the airbag set. A rigid balancing mechanism includes a ring track mounted on the top cover. A counterweight is installed on the circular track, and guide gears are arranged in a circumferential array along the movement track of the counterweight on the circular track. The guide gears include a set of driving wheels and several sets of driven wheels. The driving wheels are driven by an adjusting motor. The counterweight includes a block body and annular guide racks distributed on both sides of the circular track. The block body meshes with the annular guide racks. A float-type liquid level sensor is also installed on the side wall of the tank. The float-type liquid level sensor is arranged in a circumferential array around the inner wall of the tank. The float-type liquid level sensor and the adjusting motor are both connected to the controller. The frame includes a base and positioning rods distributed in a ring around the base. The positioning rods pass through the positioning ring on the side of the inner container. The top of the positioning rod passes through the positioning frame and is fixedly connected to the positioning frame by a locking nut. Several sets of buffer components are installed at the bottom of the positioning frame to hold the integrated top cover in place.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the base and barrel of the inner container are integrally molded, and an integral top cover is fixedly connected to the top of the barrel. The entire inner container only requires welding to connect the barrel and the top cover. The sides of the inner container are connected to the longitudinally distributed positioning rods on the frame via positioning rings. The reinforcing ribs between the positioning rings connect the positioning rings on the same horizontal plane, reinforcing the structure of the outer ring of the inner container. Together with the positioning rods on the frame, the inner container can be stably installed in the frame. The top of the positioning rod adopts a partially threaded structure to cooperate with the locking nut to fix it to the fixed frame. The buffer component installed at the bottom of the positioning frame can hold the inner container tightly in the frame. During the transportation of the ton tank, the buffer component can provide cushioning for the inner container in the frame, reducing the possibility of damage to the inner container in the ton tank during transportation. When the ton tank is storing liquid, the float level sensor monitors the liquid level in real time, and links the airbag stabilization mechanism and rigid balance mechanism to suppress liquid sloshing and improve the stability of the ton tank during transportation. When the liquid inside the ton tank begins to slosh during transport, the sloshing liquid acts on a swaying plate, causing it to swing. The swaying plate, via universal joints on both sides, drives air pump mechanisms on both sides of the tank bottom. The air pump mechanisms have inlet pipes for air intake and outlet pipes for supplying air to the airbag assembly. Both inlet and outlet pipes are equipped with one-way valves, allowing the swaying plate to reciprocate and inflate the airbag assembly. The inflated airbag assembly compresses the liquid inside the ton tank, and the expansion of the airbag assembly, along with the liquid inside, fills the space inside the ton tank, thus reducing sloshing. Simultaneously, while the liquid sloshes, a circumferential array of float level sensors around the tank provides feedback on the monitored liquid level to the controller. The controller transmits signals to the rigid balancing mechanism. The rigid balancing mechanism drives the motor to engage with the ring guide rack on the outside of the configuration block, and works in conjunction with other driven wheels on the outside of the configuration block and the driven wheels on the inside of the configuration block to move the configuration block, rotating it to a position opposite to the sloshing of the liquid inside the tank, thereby improving the overall stability of the ton tank.
[0009] Preferably, a feed inlet is provided at the center of the top of the cover, and a cover body is rotatably mounted on the feed inlet. A connecting plate is installed on the side of the cover body away from the rotating part, and a connecting hole is provided on the connecting plate. A connecting rod corresponding to the connecting hole is installed at the feed inlet, wherein the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the side of the feed inlet, and the connecting rod can pass through the connecting hole and be fixed by a fixing nut.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the feed port at the center of the top of the cover is used to add material to the ton tank. The cover plate rotatably installed on the feed port is connected and fixed to the connecting rod on the feed port through the connecting plate. When connected, the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the side of the feed port and cooperates with the connecting hole opened on the connecting plate during the closing process. After the cover is completely closed, it is connected to the fixing nut through the thread opened on the free end of the connecting rod, thereby fixing the cover to the feed port.
[0011] Preferably, the positioning rings are evenly distributed on the side of the barrel, wherein the thickness of the reinforcing ribs between the positioning rings is the same as that of the positioning rings, and the reinforcing ribs and the outer surface of the positioning rings adopt an arc transition.
[0012] Preferably, the top corners of the base are integrally formed into L-shaped corner protectors, and the top of the L-shaped corner protectors are fixed by connecting and fixing to the perforations on the positioning frame through limiting blocks.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning ring is located on the side of the barrel, and the thickness of the reinforcing ribs connecting the positioning rings is the same as that of the rings themselves. The connection is provided with an arc transition, which can stably reinforce the inner container. The L-shaped corner protectors set at the top corners of the base can protect the inner container from the four top corners. The top of the L-shaped corner protectors passes through the perforation on the positioning frame through the limiting block, which can be used to support the positioning frame and cooperate with the locking nut at the top of the positioning rod to fix the positioning frame.
[0014] Preferably, the buffer assembly includes a pressure plate rotatably mounted on the positioning rod, a buffer spring is fitted on the top of the pressure plate on the positioning rod, and the buffer spring is rotatably connected to the positioning frame through a retaining plate fitted on the positioning rod.
[0015] Preferably, the top cover has a groove that matches the pressure plate, and the one-piece top cover is welded to the barrel body; the height of the positioning frame is greater than the height of the top cover, and the top cover is located at the center of the positioning frame.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the buffer assembly uses a pressure plate that cooperates with the groove on the top cover, and the pressure plate is pressed tightly in the groove under the action of the buffer spring. When adjusting the pressure plate, a locking plate is set on the top of the buffer spring, which can drive the entire buffer assembly to rotate on the positioning rod, making it convenient for the buffer assembly to lock and unlock the inner container.
[0017] Preferably, the cross-section of the airbag assembly adopts an inverted L-shaped structure, and the airbag assembly fits against the side wall and top surface of the barrel. A strip-shaped float-type liquid level sensor is provided between each individual airbag assembly. A float is installed in the tank. The float-type liquid level sensor includes a float and an ultrasonic rangefinder installed on the top of the tank.
[0018] Preferably, the airbag assembly has several independent air chambers distributed from bottom to top, each of which is connected to the air outlet pipe of the air pump mechanism. The side of the air pump mechanism closest to the swing plate is connected to the outside of the ton tank through the air inlet pipe, and the air outlet pipe is located at the end of the air pump mechanism away from the air inlet pipe.
[0019] Preferably, the swing plate is a floating baffle, wherein the swing plate has several perforations, and the universal joint is connected to the connecting rod at the top center of the swing plate, and the universal joint is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the swing plate.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the liquid inside the tank is disturbed by external forces during transportation, the float-type liquid level sensor triggers the ultrasonic rangefinder through the displacement of the float in the tank, and feeds back three-dimensional liquid level data to the controller in real time. The inverted L-shaped airbag assembly fits against the side wall and top surface of the tank to form a continuous pressure-bearing surface. The layered independent air chambers are inflated by an air pump mechanism. When the swing plate is deflected by the fluid impact, the symmetrically distributed universal joints drive the air pump mechanism to inflate the airbag assembly. After the air inlet pipe introduces external air, it is tiered and inflated and deflated to each independent air chamber through the air outlet pipe. The synergistic effect of the honeycomb texture and hydrophobic coating on the airbag surface enhances the damping of the gas-liquid interface. At the same time, the counterweight intelligently displaces along the track to compensate for the center of gravity shift, forming a dual stabilization system. Finally, the efficient and stable operation of the ton tank is achieved through closed-loop control of mechanical deformation transmission and electronic control feedback.
[0021] Preferably, the annular track is installed around the feed inlet, the cross-section of the annular track adopts a convex structure, the bottom of the counterweight adopts a groove adapted to the convex structure, wherein the bottom of the groove is provided with annular guide racks on both sides, and the inner and outer sides of the annular guide racks are provided with corresponding guide gears.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the convex structure of the circular track is adapted to the groove at the bottom of the counterweight, and the annular guide racks set on both sides of the bottom of the groove can mesh with the guide gears on the inner and outer sides to drive the counterweight to move and adjust on the circular track through the guide gears.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. The contents of this application only require welding to connect the tank body and the top cover, which improves the overall aesthetics of the ton tank and increases the bending coefficient and overall stress of the ton tank surface;
[0025] 2. This application uses a buffer assembly at the bottom of the positioning frame to hold the inner container firmly within the frame. During the transportation of the ton tank, the buffer assembly can provide cushioning for the inner container within the frame, reducing the possibility of damage to the inner container in the ton tank during transportation.
[0026] 3. This application reduces stress concentration through an integrally molded barrel body and an arc-shaped transition design. The positioning ring and the reinforcing rib network form a spatial truss structure, which improves the resistance to deformation. The inverted L-shaped airbag assembly fits against the barrel wall and top surface, and together with the layered independent air chambers, it compresses the liquid inside the barrel. Combined with the eddy current damping of the honeycomb texture and the ball effect of the hydrophobic coating, it reduces the empty space inside the barrel, thereby reducing the sloshing of the liquid.
[0027] 4. This application uses float-type liquid level sensors installed around the tank to monitor the liquid level inside the tank, and uses the signal transmission of the controller to intelligently displace the counterweight along the track to compensate for the center of gravity shift, thus forming a dual stabilization system.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.
[0036] This application discloses an integrated ton tank.
[0037] Reference Figures 1-6An integrated ton tank includes an inner container 1, which comprises an integrally formed base 11 and a barrel 12. An integral top cover 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the barrel 12. Several sets of positioning rings 14 are evenly distributed on the sides of the inner container 1, with the positioning rings 14 on the same horizontal plane connected by reinforcing ribs 141. The base 11 of the inner container 1 and adjacent side walls of the barrel 12 all feature arc-shaped transitions. An airbag stabilization mechanism 4 includes several sets of airbag assemblies 41 and a gas supply mechanism 42. The airbag assemblies 41 are ring-shaped. The airbags are distributed in a honeycomb pattern on the inner side of the barrel 12. The airbag assembly 41 includes several circumferentially distributed independent air chambers 411, and the surface of the airbag assembly 41 is provided with a honeycomb texture structure and a hydrophobic coating. The gas supply mechanism 42 includes a swing plate 421 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the barrel 12. The swing plate 421 is connected to an air pump mechanism 43 on both sides via universal joints 422, and the air outlet pipe of the air pump mechanism 43 is connected to the airbag assembly 41. A rigid balancing mechanism 5 includes an annular track 51 mounted on the top cover 13, on which are mounted... A counterweight 52 is mounted on a circular track 51. Guide gears 511 are arranged circumferentially along the track of the counterweight 52 on the circular track 51. Each guide gear 511 includes a set of driving wheels 512 and several sets of driven wheels 513. The driving wheels 512 are driven by an adjusting motor 514. The counterweight 52 includes a main body 521 and annular guide racks 522 distributed on both sides of the circular track 51. The main body 521 meshes with the annular guide racks 522. A float-type liquid level sensor 6 is also installed on the side wall of the tank 12. The float-type liquid level sensor 6 is arranged in a circumferential array around the inner wall of the tank 12, and both the float-type liquid level sensor 6 and the regulating motor 514 are connected to the controller. The frame 2 includes a base 21 and positioning rods 22 distributed in a ring around the base 21. The positioning rods 22 pass through the positioning ring 14 on the side of the inner container 1, and the top of the positioning rods 22 passes through the positioning frame 23. The top of the positioning rods 22 is fixedly connected to the positioning frame 23 by a locking nut 221. Several sets of buffer components 3 are installed at the bottom of the positioning frame 23 to press against the integrated top cover 13. The base 11 and the tank 12 in the inner container 1 adopt an integrated molding structure. The top of the tank 12 is fixedly connected to the integrated top cover 13. The entire inner container 1 only needs to be welded together to connect the tank 12 and the top cover 13.The inner container 1 is connected to the side of the frame 2 via positioning rings 14 and longitudinally distributed positioning rods 22. Reinforcing ribs 141 between the positioning rings 14 connect the rings 14 on the same horizontal plane, reinforcing the outer structure of the inner container 1. Together with the positioning rods 22 on the frame 2, the inner container 1 can be stably installed within the frame 2. The top of the positioning rods 22 has a partially threaded structure that engages with the locking nut 221 to fix it to the fixed frame. The buffer assembly 3 installed at the bottom of the positioning frame 23 can hold the inner container 1 firmly within the frame 2. During the transport of the ton tank, the buffer assembly 3 provides cushioning for the inner container 1 within the frame 2, reducing the risk of damage to the inner container 1 during transport. When the ton tank is storing liquid, the float ball 62 level sensor monitors the liquid level in real time, triggering the airbag stabilization mechanism 4 and the rigid balance mechanism 5 to suppress liquid sloshing and improve the stability of the ton tank during transport. When the liquid inside the ton tank begins to slosh during transport, the sloshing liquid acts on the swing plate 421, causing it to swing. The swing plate 421, through universal joints 422 on both sides, drives the air pump mechanisms 43 on both sides of the bottom of the tank 12. The air pump mechanism 43's air inlet pipe 431 intakes air and air outlet pipe supplies air to the airbag assembly 41. Both the air inlet pipe 431 and the air outlet pipe are equipped with one-way valves, allowing the swing plate 421 to swing back and forth, thus inflating the airbag assembly 41. The inflated airbag assembly 41 compresses the liquid inside the ton tank. Through the expansion of the airbag assembly 41 and the liquid inside the ton tank, the space inside the ton tank is filled, thereby reducing the sloshing of the liquid inside the ton tank. At the same time, when the liquid sloshes inside the ton tank, the circumferential array of level sensors in the float chamber 62 around the tank 12 can feed back the monitored liquid level to the controller. The controller transmits a signal to the rigid balancing mechanism 5. The rigid balancing mechanism 5 drives the driving wheel 512 to mesh with the annular guide rack 522 on the outside of the configuration block through the adjustment motor 514. It also works with other driven wheels 513 on the outside of the configuration block and the driven wheels 513 on the inside of the configuration block to move the configuration block and rotate it to a position opposite to the liquid sloshing inside the tank 12, thereby improving the overall stability of the ton tank.
[0038] Reference Figures 1-6The top cover 13 has a feed inlet 131 at its center. A cover body 132 is rotatably mounted on the feed inlet 131. A connecting plate 133 is mounted on the side of the cover body 132 away from the rotating part, and a connecting hole is provided on the connecting plate 133. A connecting rod 134 corresponding to the connecting hole is installed at the feed inlet 131. The connecting rod 134 is rotatably connected to the side of the feed inlet 131, and the connecting rod 134 can pass through the connecting hole and be fixed by a fixing nut 1341. The feed inlet 131 at the top center of the top cover 13 is used to add material to the ton tank. The cover plate rotatably installed on the feed inlet 131 is connected and fixed to the connecting rod 134 on the feed inlet 131 via the connecting plate 133. During connection, the connecting rod 134 is rotatably connected to the side of the feed inlet 131 and cooperates with the connecting hole opened on the connecting plate 133 during the closing process. After the cover 132 is completely closed, it is connected to the fixing nut 1341 through the thread opened on the free end of the connecting rod 134, thereby fixing the cover 132 to the feed inlet 131.
[0039] Reference Figures 1-6 Positioning rings 14 are evenly distributed on the sides of the barrel 12. The thickness of the reinforcing ribs 141 between the positioning rings 14 is the same as that of the positioning rings 14, and the reinforcing ribs 141 and the outer surface of the positioning rings 14 are connected by an arc. The top corners of the base 21 are integrally formed with L-shaped corner protectors 211. The top of the L-shaped corner protectors 211 is connected and fixed to the through hole on the positioning frame 23 through the limiting block 2111. The positioning rings 14 are located on the sides of the barrel 12, and the thickness of the reinforcing ribs 141 connecting the positioning rings 14 is the same as that of the rings themselves. The connection is provided with an arc transition, which can stably reinforce the inner container 1. The L-shaped corner protectors 211 set at the top corners of the base 21 can protect the inner container 1 from the four top corners. The top of the L-shaped corner protectors 211 passes through the through hole on the positioning frame 23 through the limiting block 2111, which can be used to support the positioning frame 23 and cooperate with the locking nut 221 at the top of the positioning rod 22 to fix the positioning frame 23.

A buffer spring 32 is fitted on top of the pressure plate 31 on the positioning rod 22, and the buffer spring 32 is rotatably connected to the positioning frame 23 via a retaining plate 33 fitted on the positioning rod 22. The top cover 13 has a groove 135 adapted to the pressure plate 31, and the one-piece top cover 13 is welded to the barrel body 12. The height of the positioning frame 23 is greater than the height of the top cover 13, and the top cover 13 is located at the center of the positioning frame 23. The buffer assembly 3 uses the pressure plate 31 to cooperate with the groove 135 on the top cover 13, and under the action of the buffer spring 32, the pressure plate 31 is pressed tightly in the groove 135. When adjusting the pressure plate 31, the retaining plate 33 on top of the buffer spring 32 can drive the entire buffer assembly 3 to rotate on the positioning rod 22, which facilitates the locking and unlocking of the inner container 1 by the buffer assembly 3.
[0041] Reference Figures 1-6 The airbag assembly 41 has an inverted L-shaped cross-section and fits against the side wall and top surface of the tank body 12. A strip-shaped float-type liquid level sensor 6 is provided between each individual airbag assembly 41. A float 62 is installed inside the tank body 61. The float-type liquid level sensor 6 includes the float 62 and an ultrasonic rangefinder 63 installed on the top of the tank body 61. Several independent air chambers 411 are distributed sequentially from bottom to top within the airbag assembly 41. Each independent air chamber 411 is connected to the air outlet pipe of the air pump mechanism 43. The side of the air pump mechanism 43 closest to the swing plate 421 is connected to the outside of the tank via an air inlet pipe 431. The air outlet pipe is located at the end of the air pump mechanism 43 furthest from the air inlet pipe 431. The swing plate 421 is a floating baffle, with several perforations. A universal joint 422 is connected to a connecting rod 423 at the top center of the swing plate 421, and the universal joints 422 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the swing plate 421. When the liquid in the tank is disturbed by external forces during transportation, the float-type liquid level sensor 6 triggers the ultrasonic rangefinder 63 through the displacement of the float 62 in the tank body 61, and feeds back the three-dimensional liquid level data to the controller in real time. The inverted L-shaped airbag assembly 41 fits against the side wall and top surface of the tank body 12 to form a continuous pressure-bearing surface. The layered independent air chambers 411 are inflated by the air pump mechanism 43. When the swing plate 421 is deflected by the fluid impact, the symmetrically distributed universal joints drive the air pump mechanism 43 to inflate the airbag assembly 41. After the air inlet pipe 431 introduces external air, it is inflated and deflated in stages to each independent air chamber 411 through the air outlet pipe. The synergistic effect of the honeycomb texture and hydrophobic coating on the surface of the airbag enhances the damping of the gas-liquid interface. At the same time, the counterweight 52 intelligently displaces along the track to compensate for the center of gravity shift, forming a dual stabilization system. Finally, the efficient and stable operation of the ton tank is achieved through closed-loop control of mechanical deformation transmission and electronic control feedback.
[0042] Reference Figures 1-6 An annular track 51 is installed around the feed inlet 131. The cross-section of the annular track 51 has a convex structure. The bottom of the counterweight 52 has a groove 135 that matches the convex structure. Annular guide racks 522 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the groove 135, and corresponding guide gears 511 are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the annular guide racks 522. The convex structure of the annular track 51 matches the groove 135 at the bottom of the counterweight 52, and the annular guide racks 522 on both sides of the bottom of the groove 135 can mesh with the guide gears 511 on both sides for transmission. The guide gears 511 drive the counterweight 52 to move and adjust on the annular track 51.
[0043] Working principle: During the installation of the ton tank, the barrel 12 and the top cover 13 in the inner container 1 are welded together. When the inner container 1 is placed in the frame 2, the positioning rings 14 around the inner container 1 cooperate with the positioning rods 22 on the frame 2. Then, the positioning frame 23 is installed on the top of the frame 2. The through hole on the positioning frame 23 cooperates with the limiting block 2111 on the L-shaped corner protector 211. The positioning rod 22 passes through the positioning frame 23 and is fixed by the locking nut 221. The buffer assembly 3 located at the top of the positioning rod 22 rotates the pressure plate 31 into the groove 135 on the top cover 13. During the operation of the ton tank for liquid storage, the float ball 62 level sensor monitors the liquid level in real time. When the liquid in the ton tank begins to slosh during transport, the sloshing liquid acts on the swing plate 421, causing it to swing. The swing plate 421, through universal joints 422 on both sides, drives the air pump mechanism 43 on both sides of the bottom of the tank body 12. The air pump mechanism 43 has an air inlet pipe 431 for intake and an air outlet pipe for supplying air to the air bladder assembly 41. Both the air inlet pipe 431 and the air outlet pipe are equipped with one-way valves, allowing the swing plate 421 to swing back and forth, thus inflating the air bladder assembly 41. The inflated air bladder assembly 41 compresses the liquid in the ton tank. The expansion of the air bladder assembly 41 and the liquid in the ton tank fill the space inside, thereby reducing the sloshing of the liquid inside the ton tank. At the same time, when the liquid sloshes inside the ton tank, the float ball 62 chamber level sensor array around the tank body 12 can feed back the monitored liquid level to the controller. The controller transmits a signal to the rigid balancing mechanism 5. The rigid balancing mechanism 5 drives the driving wheel 512 to mesh with the annular guide rack 522 on the outside of the configuration block through the adjustment motor 514. It also works with other driven wheels 513 on the outside of the configuration block and the driven wheels 513 on the inside of the configuration block to move the configuration block and rotate it to a position opposite to the liquid sloshing inside the tank 12, thereby improving the overall stability of the ton tank.
[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
