The other end of 144 is rotatably connected to the door axis connector B 145 via the door axis B 142, and the door axis connector B 145 is rotatably connected to the door panel 12 via the door axis C 143.

[0022] Please see again Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer sides of both ends of the door panel 12 are detachably connected to the inner sides of the corresponding door frames 11. The door shaft C 143 is installed at the middle of the outer side of the door panel 12 so that the door shaft connector B 145 can apply force to the door panel 12.

[0023] In addition, a door control connector 15 is provided on the door frame 11 , and both ends of the door panel 12 are detachably connected to the door control connector 15 at the corresponding ends through a fastening connection assembly 13 .

[0024] Specifically, the fastening connection assembly 13 includes a threaded screw 131 and a handwheel 132. One end of the threaded screw 131 is rotatably disposed on the door panel 12, and the other end is movable through the door control connection piece 15 at the corresponding position and is detachably connected to the handwheel 132. Correspondingly, the door control connection piece 15 is provided with a reserved hole adapted to the threaded screw 131 for the threaded screw 131 to pass through. The threaded screw 131 can rotate left and right relative to the door panel 12, and the handwheel 132 is detachably connected to the threaded screw 131 and can rotate relative to the threaded screw 131. The threaded screw 131 can be fastened by tightening the handwheel 132, thereby fastening the connection between the threaded screw 131 and the door control connection piece 15. When using: please refer to Figure 4 As shown, when the inspection door needs to be closed, the door panel 12 can be tightly closed on the door frame 11 by rotating the threaded screw 131 to make it perpendicular to the door panel 12, and then passing it through the door control connector 15 and tightening it through the hand wheel 132; please refer to Figure 5 As shown, when the inspection door needs to be opened, the hand wheel 132 is unscrewed from the threaded screw 131, and the door panel 12 is pushed toward the inner wall of the tank body 2 to separate the door panel 12 from the door frame 11. The threaded screw 131 is rotated to make it parallel to the door panel 12, and then the door panel 12 can be translated inwardly opened by rotating the connecting assembly 14.

[0025] Please see again Figure 3 As shown, a sealing gasket 16 is provided at the portion where the door frame 11 and the door panel 12 are connected, so that the sealing between the door frame 11 and the door panel 12 can be increased. During installation, the sealing gasket 16 is installed on the door frame 11 and arranged along the door frame 11. When the inspection door is closed, the greater the pressure on the door panel 12, the denser the sealing gasket 16 is squeezed, and the better the sealing effect.

[0026] Please see again Figure 2 As shown, the door panel 12 is provided with a plurality of stiffening ribs 17, which can effectively improve the stability and torsion resistance of the door panel 12. In this embodiment, from left to right, three vertical stiffening ribs 17 are provided in the door panel 12, specifically, stiffening ribs 17 are provided at the positions where the threaded screw 131 and the door shaft C 143 are installed in the door panel 12.

[0027] In the present invention, the material of the inner opening inspection door 1 can be stainless steel or other steel or fiberglass, and the material of the tank body 2 can be concrete or stainless steel or other steel or fiberglass. The inner opening inspection door 1 is connected to the tank body 2 through the door frame 11. When the material of the tank body 2 is concrete (i.e., the tank is a concrete tank), please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a door frame embedded part 18 is provided in the side wall of the storage tank body 2, and the door frame 11 is fixedly connected (welded) to the door frame embedded part 18; when the material of the storage tank body 2 is steel (that is, the storage tank is a steel storage tank), the door frame 11 can be directly welded to the side wall of the storage tank body 2; when the material of the storage tank body 2 is fiberglass (that is, the storage tank is a fiberglass storage tank), the storage tank is made into a whole with the door frame 11 during processing, that is, the storage tank body 2 and the door frame 11 are directly integrated.

[0028] The method of using the inner opening inspection door of the storage tank described in the utility model is as follows:

[0029] Under normal conditions, Figure 4 As shown, the inward opening inspection door 1 is in a closed state, and both ends of the door panel 12 are tightly fitted to the door frame 11 through the fastening connection assembly 13 (specifically: the threaded screw 131 on the door panel 12 passes through the door control connection piece 15 on the door frame 11 and is connected to the hand wheel 132, and the hand wheel 132 is tightened to tighten the threaded screw 131, thereby fastening the door panel 12 to the door frame 11);

[0030] When the storage tank needs to be inspected and repaired, the fastening connection assembly 13 is opened to separate the two ends of the door panel 12 from the door frame 11 (specifically: the hand wheel 132 is unscrewed from the threaded screw 131, and the door panel 12 is pushed toward the inner wall of the storage tank body 2, so that the threaded screw 131 is withdrawn from the door control connector 15, thereby separating the two ends of the door panel 12 from the door frame 11. After separation, the threaded screw 131 is rotated to make it parallel to the door panel 12), and then a force is applied to the door panel 12 through the door shaft connector A144 and the door shaft connector B145, so that the door panel 12 is translated to the inner side of one side of the door frame 11, so that the door panel 12 is opened inwardly. At this time, the inward opening inspection door 1 is in Figure 5 The open state shown in the figure, and then the maintenance personnel can enter the storage tank through the maintenance opening 21 on the storage tank body 2 to perform maintenance on the storage tank.

[0031] From the above, it can be seen that the inward opening inspection door 1 provided by the utility model is installed in the inspection port 21 opened on the side wall of the storage tank body 2. After the maintenance personnel open the inward opening inspection door 1, they can enter the storage tank through the inspection port 21 on the storage tank body 2 to carry out maintenance on the storage tank. Compared with the inspection port provided on the top of the storage tank, the maintenance is convenient and the maintenance cost is low. In addition, the inward opening inspection door 1 adopts an inward opening method. Compared with the outward opening inspection door, when the storage tank is full of materials, the greater the pressure, the pressure borne by the inward opening inspection door 1 makes the sealing effect between the door panel 12 and the door frame 11 better, and the door frame 11 is subjected to stress as a whole, which can reduce safety hazards and enhance the sealing effect.

[0032] Finally, it is necessary to point out that the above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the utility model.
