[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tanker protection, in particular to a tank body protection device and a tank transport vehicle. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of industrialization and logistics, tank trucks, as an important means of logistics and transportation, have been widely used in many industries such as chemical, food, and petroleum. Safety accessories, such as safety valves, are often installed on the top of the tank of a tank truck to ensure that the tank can automatically release pressure in the event of abnormal pressure or other emergencies, and to prevent safety accidents such as explosions caused by excessive internal pressure. However, these safety accessories are exposed on the top of the tank. When the tank truck rolls over, the tank is prone to roll over, causing damage to the safety accessories installed on the tank, which in turn affects the safety performance of the tank.
[0003] At present, in order to improve the safety performance of the tank, the tank transport vehicles on the market usually have a long strip or large platform roll cage on the top of the tank to prevent the tank from rolling over after rolling over, and to reduce the accident losses by blocking or delaying the rolling of the tank and preventing the safety accessories from directly colliding with the ground when the tank rolls over. Although the roll cage can play a certain protective role, it also has the problems of complex structure, heavy weight, high cost, and may affect the overall performance and appearance of the tank truck; at the same time, the roll cage increases the overall height of the tank transport truck, affecting the transport truck's passability.
[0004] In view of this, it is indeed necessary to provide a technical solution to the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a tank protection device to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A tank protection device, comprising:
[0008] A tank body, wherein the top of the tank body is provided with a safety valve for pressure relief;
[0009] A protective cover is arranged on the tank body, and a receiving cavity with one end open is formed between the inner side of the protective cover and the tank body. The safety valve is located in the receiving cavity, and the top of the safety valve is lower than the top of the receiving cavity.
[0010] As an improvement of the tank protection device, an opening is provided at the bottom of the protection cover, and a guide hole is formed between the opening and the tank body to connect the accommodating cavity with the outside.
[0011] As an improvement of the tank protection device, the protective cover is in a conical cylindrical shape, the side edges of the cross section of the protective cover are gradually inclined downward from top to bottom, and the top of the protective cover is a plane.
[0012] As an improvement of the tank protection device, at least two openings are provided, and the two openings are respectively provided on two sides of the bottom of the protection cover and respectively face the radial sides of the tank.
[0013] As an improvement of the tank protection device, the protection cover is a semicircular structure, and the accommodating cavity is open on the upper side.
[0014] As an improvement of the tank protection device, the number of the protective covers is more than one. When the number of the protective covers is multiple, the multiple protective covers are distributed along the length direction of the top of the tank.

[0028] The standard parts used in the utility model can all be purchased from the market, and special-shaped parts can be customized according to the instructions and the drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt the conventional means such as mature bolts, rivets, welding, etc. in the existing technology. The machinery, parts and equipment all adopt the conventional models in the existing technology, and the circuit connection adopts the conventional connection method in the existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a tank protection device comprises:
[0030] A tank body 2, with a safety valve 3 for pressure relief on the top of the tank body 2;
[0031] The protective cover 4 is arranged on the tank body 2 , and a receiving chamber 6 with one end open is formed between the inner side of the protective cover 4 and the tank body 2 . The safety valve 3 is located in the receiving chamber 6 , and the top end of the safety valve 3 is lower than the top of the receiving chamber 6 .
[0032] Specifically, by setting the protective cover 4 on the top of the tank body 2, the safety valve 3 is located inside the protective cover 4, and the protective cover 4 covers the safety valve 3 in the accommodating chamber 6, which can effectively protect the exposed safety valve 3 and reduce the potential safety hazards caused by the exposure of the safety valve 3. The protective cover 4 is set on the top of the tank body 2. In the case of the vehicle rolling over, the protective cover 4 abuts against the ground 7 to generate resistance, which can play a protective role in preventing the vehicle from further rolling over. This design can block and delay the direct rolling of the circular tank body 2 after the overturning, thereby reducing the risk and severity of the accident; it also avoids the collision between the safety valve 3 and the ground 7 after the tank body 2 rolls over, further improving the safety performance of the tank body 2. At the same time, compared with the traditional long strip or large platform protective frame, the utility model adopts a protective cover 4 with two open ends, which is connected to the tank body 2 to form an accommodating chamber 6 with one open end, which is used to accommodate and protect the safety valve 3, which not only simplifies the structure, but also reduces the overall weight of the tank transport vehicle 1.
[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, an opening is formed at the bottom of the protective cover 4, and a guide hole 5 is formed between the opening and the tank body 2 to connect the accommodating cavity 6 with the outside. Specifically, the formation of the guide hole 5 allows the liquid in the accommodating cavity 6 to flow out through the guide hole 5 and flow downward along the outer wall of the tank body 2, which can effectively prevent water from accumulating inside the accommodating cavity 6 of the protective cover 4 on rainy days or when the tank body 2 is cleaned, thereby keeping the inside of the protective cover 4 clean and dry.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the protective cover 4 is in a conical cylindrical shape, and the side edges of the cross section of the protective cover 4 are gradually inclined downward from top to bottom, and the top of the protective cover 4 is a plane.
[0035] Specifically, the protective cover 4 is set to an oblique cone design of a conical cylindrical structure so that it has a certain thickness and strength, which can improve the impact resistance generated when the tank truck 1 rolls over, thereby preventing the tank truck 1 from further rolling and reducing the losses caused by the accident.
[0036] The side edges of the cross section of the protective cover 4 are gradually tilted downward from top to bottom, and the top of the protective cover 4 is a plane. When the tank transport vehicle 1 is driving, obstacles such as sagging electric wires that affect the passability come into contact with the protective cover 4, and the inclined design of the side of the protective cover 4 will guide the sagging electric wires upward to avoid the sagging electric wires from pulling against the protective cover 4 and affecting the passage of the vehicle. Compared with the traditional long strip or large platform type protective frame, designing the protective cover 4 as a conical structure can more effectively reduce air resistance and friction resistance, and has better streamlined characteristics, thereby reducing the resistance of the vehicle during driving and turning, so that the protective device of the tank body 2 has better passability and can more effectively cope with different road conditions and driving conditions. The conical cylindrical protective cover 4 is connected to the arc position of the outer wall of the tank body 2 to ensure the close combination of the device and the tank body 2, thereby enhancing the protective effect.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, at least two openings are provided, and the two openings are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the protective cover 4 and respectively face the radial sides of the tank body 2. Specifically, openings are provided on both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the protective cover 4. After the protective cover 4 is connected to the tank body 2, two guide holes 5 are formed, and the liquid falling into the accommodating chamber 6 is discharged outward through the guide holes 5 on both sides, thereby improving the drainage capacity of the protective cover 4 and avoiding affecting the operation of the safety valve 3 in the accommodating chamber 6.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the protective cover 4 is a semicircular structure, and the accommodating chamber 6 is open on the upper side. Specifically, the semicircular protective cover 4 is set to effectively cover the safety valve 3 on the top of the tank body 2, provide comprehensive protection, and prevent external factors (such as collisions, falling objects, etc.) from damaging the safety valve 3. The semicircular shape is more streamlined than other shapes (such as long strips, large platforms, etc.), which helps to reduce air resistance and improve the driving efficiency of the vehicle. At the same time, this design can also reduce wind noise to a certain extent and improve driving comfort. It can also reduce the passability problems caused by the complex structure when the vehicle is driving, such as the jamming caused by insufficient height of the wires. Although the semicircular shape itself does not directly provide an anti-rollover function, through reasonable design and installation position, it can be used in conjunction with other anti-rollover devices (such as anti-rollover guardrails) to jointly improve the stability of the vehicle during rollover and reduce the risk of rollover.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the protective shields 4 is more than one. When the number of the protective shields 4 is more than one, the plurality of protective shields 4 are distributed along the length direction of the top of the tank body 2. Specifically, by providing a plurality of protective shields 4, the safety accessories on the top of the tank body 2, such as the safety valve 3, can be more fully covered, providing a stronger protective effect; when a collision or impact occurs, the plurality of protective shields 4 can share the impact force together, reduce the pressure on a single protective shield 4, and further improve the protective effect. When an accident such as a rollover occurs, the plurality of protective shields 4 can work together to stabilize the vehicle and reduce the risk of the vehicle rolling over.
[0040] A tank transport vehicle includes the above tank protection device. Specifically, the tank transport vehicle 1 using the above tank protection device has the advantages of enhanced safety performance, optimized aerodynamic performance, improved trafficability, lightweight design, easy installation and maintenance, flexibility and adaptability. These advantages make the tank vehicle safer, more efficient and reliable during transportation.
[0041] According to the disclosure and teaching of the above description, the technicians in the field of the utility model can also change and modify the above implementation. Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the above specific implementation, and any obvious improvement, replacement or modification made by the technicians in this field on the basis of the utility model belongs to the protection scope of the utility model. In addition, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for the convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation to the utility model.
