[0029] It also includes a rubber ring 204; each handle 9 is fixed with a rubber ring 204, which blocks the gap in the receiving groove between the handle 9 and the mounting plate 5 to prevent melted snow water from flowing out of the gap and causing ice to form on the surface of the handle 9, thereby affecting the use of the handle 9.

[0030] A plurality of drainage holes 5003 communicating with the outside are respectively formed at both ends of the arc-shaped groove 5001 of the mounting plate 5 .

[0031] The working steps of this embodiment are:

[0032] The following rotations are from front to back, from top to bottom, and from right to left.

[0033] The operator connects an external power supply to the hot air blower 201. In winter, not only is the outside temperature low, but there is also snow. When the tank truck is transporting oil, a large amount of snow will fall on the surface of the tank, which will cause the heat inside the tank to be lost quickly. Under the action of low temperature, the oil will solidify, which will affect the unloading efficiency. Therefore, before the tank truck is transported, the operator grabs one of the handles 9, drives the elliptical ring 6, the sealing plate 7 and the insulation cloth 8 to move to the right together, and moves the folded elliptical ring 6, the sealing plate 7 and the insulation cloth 8 out of the arc groove 5001, and unfolds several insulation cloths 8. During the movement, several The elliptical ring 6 and several pulleys 102 slide on the two support rods 101. When the sliding is about to reach the end, the sealing plate 7 will contact the wedge block 103, forcing the wedge block 103 and the pull rod 105 to move toward the storage tank 2. The spring 104 automatically stretches, and then after the sealing plate 7 passes over the wedge block 103, the spring 104 drives the wedge block 103 and the pull rod 105 to automatically reset, and come to the coverage of the insulation cloth 8 and the left side of the sealing plate 7, restricting the sealing plate 7 to prevent the elliptical ring 6, the sealing plate 7, the insulation cloth 8 and the sealing plate 7 from moving back and forth on the two support rods 101 during the transportation of the tanker.

[0034] When the sealing plate 7 is restricted, the insulation cloth 8 is fully unfolded to cover the storage tank 2 and the protective frame 4, so that the falling snow is intercepted by the insulation cloth 8 and will not adhere to the surface of the storage tank 2, thereby insulating the storage tank 2 and preventing a large amount of snow from adhering to the storage tank 2 and accelerating the heat loss inside the storage tank 2. It ensures that the oil in the storage tank 2 has a certain amount of heat and is in a liquid state, and will not cool and solidify, which is convenient for subsequent unloading.

[0035] When the tanker truck transports the oil to the required location, the operator grabs the pull rod 105 and moves the wedge block 103 toward the storage tank 2, forcing the spring 104 to stretch so that the wedge block 103 no longer restricts the sealing plate 7. The operator then grabs the handle 9 to move the connected parts to the left, and moves the elliptical ring 6 and the insulation cloth 8 into the arc groove 5001. At this time, the sealing plate 7 blocks the arc groove 5001; thereby, the insulation cloth 8 is encapsulated in the arc groove 5001.

[0036] When the unfolded insulation sheets 8 cover the storage tank 2, some snow will be attached to them. After the insulation sheets 8 are folded into the arc groove 5001, the snow on the insulation sheets 8 will condense into ice in the low temperature environment, making the folded insulation sheets 8 stick to each other, resulting in difficulty in unfolding the insulation sheets 8 in subsequent use. Manually cleaning the snow on the insulation sheets 8 in all directions without leaving any residue will take a long time, and the cleaning workers need to stay in the cold for a longer time. In an environment with low working efficiency, therefore, when a cleaning worker climbs onto the top of the storage tank 2 to start cleaning work, the utility model only requires the cleaning worker to use a snow-clearing tool such as a broom to quickly sweep most of the snow in the accessible area off the surface of the insulation cloth 8, while another worker under the storage tank 2 gradually retracts the insulation cloth 8 to leave a foothold for the cleaning worker, and they cooperate with each other to quickly sweep off large pieces of snow on the surface of the insulation cloth 8. Although a small amount of residual snow may remain, it has little effect. When several insulation cloths 8 are received in the arc groove 5001 and the sealing plate 7 seals the arc groove 5001, the insulation cloth 8 is quickly swept away. When the air is blocked, the hot air blower 201 is controlled to start, and the outside air is sucked into the hot air blower 201 through the air inlet pipe 202, and the air is heated by the hot air blower 201, and then the hot air is discharged into the arc groove 5001 through the air outlet pipe 203. As the hot air gradually increases, the temperature in the arc groove 5001 will gradually rise. At this time, the snow attached to the plurality of insulation cloths 8 will gradually melt into water under the action of the continuously blown hot air, and the melted water will flow to the two ends of the arc groove 5001 and be discharged from the plurality of drainage holes 5003. When the hot air blower 201 continues to work, the temperature in the arc groove 5001 will gradually rise. After working for a period of time and the snow on the several insulation cloths 8 melts, the hot air blower 201 is controlled to stop working. In this way, the hot air is continuously transported into the arc groove 5001 by the hot air blower 201, so that the temperature in the arc groove 5001 gradually rises, and the snow attached to the several insulation cloths 8 is melted, thereby preventing the snow on the several insulation cloths 8 from freezing and freezing in a low temperature environment, making it impossible for the several insulation cloths 8 to be unfolded. In this way, there is no need for manual cleaning of the snow in all directions and without leaving any residue, which not only reduces the manual workload, but also saves time and effort.

[0037] It should be noted that when a large amount of snow falls on the insulation cloth 8, the two support rods 101 are used to support the elliptical ring 6 and the insulation cloth 8 to prevent the insulation cloth 8 from being collapsed by the large amount of snow and affecting the insulation effect of the insulation cloth 8.

[0038] It should be noted that when the tanker truck is driving and it really rolls over due to an accident, the wear of the storage tank 2 by the ground or other objects that can damage the storage tank 2 will directly contact the storage tank 2, resulting in a greater probability of damage to the storage tank 2 of a general tanker truck, and the oil inside it will flow out, further causing the oil explosion. Therefore, when the tanker truck rolls over, the storage tank 2 is protected by the protective frame 4, so that the storage tank 2 will not directly contact the ground, and objects on the ground that have the ability to damage the storage tank 2 will be prevented from contacting the storage tank 2, and friction damage caused by the storage tank 2 contacting the ground will be avoided, which can greatly reduce the secondary damage caused by the friction between the storage tank 2 and the ground and the probability of subsequent explosion and combustion.

[0039] The technical principles of the embodiments of the present utility model are described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the embodiments of the present utility model, and cannot be interpreted in any way as limiting the protection scope of the embodiments of the present utility model. Based on the explanations here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementation methods of the embodiments of the present utility model without creative work, and these methods will fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present utility model.
