[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0029] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or apparatuses.

[0030] like Figure 1-7 The metal powder storage tank for easy transportation shown in the figure comprises a hollow tank body 2, the tank body 2 comprises an integral cone 210 and a cylinder 230, when placed upright, the cone 210 is located below the cylinder 230, because the upper end of the cone 210 is small and the lower end is large, so the lower part of the tank body 2 when placed upright will be obviously larger than the upper part, the outer surface of the cone 210 is fixedly connected with a cantilever 220, the cantilever 220 is horizontal, and there are two cantilevers 220, the two cantilevers 220 are symmetrically arranged and coaxial, that is, located on the symmetrical side of the cone 210, and the outer side surface of each cantilever 220 is provided with a coaxial slip ring groove 22 1. After the lifting rope is hooped into the slip ring groove 221, it will be blocked by the side wall of the slip ring groove 221, thereby improving the position stability of the lifting rope relative to the cantilever 220. After the storage tube is lifted, it can rotate along the axis of the slip ring groove 221. The outer side of the barrel 230 is fixedly connected with a lifting ring 232, which can also be connected to the lifting mechanism to lift the entire storage tank. There are at least three lifting rings 232, which can effectively prevent the storage tank from turning over. The lifting rings 232 are equidistantly arranged around the axis of the barrel 230, so that the horizontal heights of the lifting rings 232 are the same, which is faster when connecting with the lifting rope of the lifting mechanism.

[0031] A connecting end 1 is provided at the top of the tank body 2 for connecting to the discharge end of the metal powder output equipment. The connecting end 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the cone 210, and can more conveniently cooperate with the downward discharge end of the metal powder production equipment. The top of the cone 210 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 213 through a lower connecting plate 211, so the sleeve 213 is the topmost component of the entire tank body 2, and the connecting end 1 includes an upper connecting plate 101 that cooperates with the sleeve 213. The upper end surface of the upper connecting plate 101 has an embedded cone 103 for connecting the inside of the tank body 2 with the outside world, and is also a component inserted into the discharge end of the metal powder output equipment. An embedded groove 214 is also provided on the upper end surface of the sleeve 213, and the lower end surface of the upper connecting plate 101 has an embedded ring 104 correspondingly, which fits exactly with the embedded groove 214. After the fit, the connecting end 1 and the tank body 2 have very good airtightness, and the upper connecting plate 101 can be connected to the lower connecting plate through the connecting piece 3. The plate 211 is fixedly connected. Specifically, the upper connecting plate 101 is provided with an upper through hole 105, and the lower connecting plate 211 is provided with a lower through hole 212. There are several upper through holes 105 and lower through holes 212, and the positions are corresponding. They are generally arranged equidistantly around the axis of the connecting end 1. The connecting piece 3 adopts a very common bolt 301 and a nut 302. The bolt 301 will pass through the upper through hole 105 and the lower through hole 212 in turn and then cooperate with the nut 302. After tightening, the connecting end 1 can be completely fixed to the upper end of the tank body 2, and it has good air tightness. The outer side surface of the upper connecting plate 101 is provided with a card groove 102 for engaging with the bolting structure of the discharge end of the metal powder production equipment. There are at least two card grooves 102, which can well ensure the connection stability between the upper connecting plate 101 and the discharge end of the metal powder production equipment, and are arranged equidistantly around the axis of the upper connecting plate 101, so that after the connection, the force will be more uniform.

[0032] A base 4 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 2 so that the entire tank body 2 can be suspended at a certain height from the placement surface. The specific structure of the base 4 includes a pallet 405 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the tank body 2. In fact, an upward clearance groove 231 is opened on the bottom surface of the cylinder 230, and the pallet 405 is fixedly connected in the clearance groove 231. The bottom surface of the pallet 405 has a support column 403, and the lower end of the support column 403 also has a bottom plate 402. The bottom surface size of the bottom plate 402 is greater than or equal to the horizontal size of the tank body 2. The projection of the support column 403 on the horizontal plane is located within the horizontal projection of the pallet 405 and the bottom plate 402, and the support column 403 is usually located in the center of the bottom plate 402 and the pallet 405, so that the two lifting arms of the forklift can be easily inserted between the bottom plate 402 and the pallet 405.

[0033] A stop groove 404 is provided on the outer side surface of the support column 403, and a support ring 240 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 230. The lower end surface of the support ring 240 contacts the upper surface of the base plate 402. The support ring 240 is provided with a slot 241 that passes through the inner and outer walls. A wear-resistant pad 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base plate 402. The wear-resistant pad 401 is generally made of rubber or silicone material, which can prevent the storage tank from making hard contact with the placement surface when placed, and can buffer the contact impact, reduce ground damage and placement noise.

[0034] Working principle: The storage tank has three transportation methods. The first method is to use the lifting ring 232 on the side of the tank body 2. This transportation method requires the use of a lifting device. The storage tank is lifted up by the lifting rope of the lifting device for transportation. During the transportation process, the entire storage tank will be very stable with a small swing amplitude. The second method is to use the symmetrical cantilever 220 on the tank body 2. The lifting device is also required. The lifting rope is hooked on the slip ring groove 221 on the cantilever 220. The entire storage tank can be rotated after being lifted. The angle of the entire storage tank can be adjusted by hooking the lifting ring 232 on the tank body 2, and it can even be turned upside down. And it is convenient to pour out all the metal powder in the storage tank; in the above two methods, the movable position range is limited by the position of the lifting equipment. The third method uses a forklift, which is very flexible. The double fork arm of the forklift will pass through the slot 241 of the support ring 240 and fit with the side stop groove 404 of the support column 403. After the entire storage tank is lifted, it can neither move up and down relative to the fork arm nor rotate relative to the fork arm. The forklift can transfer the storage tank very freely, which is more suitable for outdoor transportation when there is no lifting equipment. Compared with the first two transfer methods using lifting equipment, the forklift has a higher transportation efficiency.
