[0023] The following will disclose multiple embodiments of the present utility model with illustrations. For the sake of clear description, many physical details will be described together in the following narrative. However, it should be understood that these physical details are not used to limit the present utility model. That is to say, in some embodiments of the present utility model, these physical details are unnecessary. In addition, for the sake of simplifying the illustrations, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 For the self-cleaning device of the oil storage tank of the present utility model, it includes an oil tank body 1. The two sides of the oil tank body 1 are provided with hemispherical shells 2. The design of the hemispherical shells 2 helps to improve the load-bearing capacity and durability of the oil tank body 1, and can also enhance the protection measures and optimize the space utilization rate. Both the oil tank body 1 and the hemispherical shells 2 are double-layered, and their interlayers are filled with heat insulation cotton. The heat insulation cotton can prevent the transmission of external high temperature and can play a certain buffering and protective effect when the oil tank body 1 is collided. A drain pipe 12 is provided at the lower end of the oil tank body 1, and the drain pipe 12 is used to discharge dirt. An oil outlet pipe 14 is provided at the lower end of the oil tank body 1. The oil outlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 12 are respectively located at the connection of the oil tank body 1 and the hemispherical shells 2. Gates are provided in both the oil outlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 12. An oil inlet pipe 15 is connected to the upper end of the oil tank body 1, and a cap is provided on the oil inlet pipe 15. The cap is used to close the oil inlet pipe 15. A support seat 16 is provided at the lower end of the oil tank body 1. The support seat 16 lifts the oil tank body 1 off the ground, which can not only leave space for the oil outlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 12, but also effectively prevent the ground moisture from corroding it.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 Inside the oil tank body 1, a spiral scraping strip 3 is arranged. The spiral scraping strip 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the oil tank body 1. Both ends of the spiral scraping strip 3 are connected with arc scraping strips 4. The arc scraping strips 4 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the hemispherical shell 2. The outer end of the hemispherical shell 2 is connected with a fixing ring 5. The side end of the fixing ring 5 is connected with a motor 6. The driving end of the motor 6 is rotatably connected inside the fixing ring 5. The fixing ring 5 is used to fix the motor 6. The side end of the arc scraping strip 4 is connected with a rotating shaft rod 7. The rotating shaft rod 7 is rotatably connected inside the fixing ring 5. The driving end of the motor 6 is connected with the rotating shaft rod 7. Thus, starting the motor 6 can drive the rotating shaft rod 7 to rotate. A mechanical seal ring 13 is arranged between the rotating shaft rod 7 and the fixing ring 5. The mechanical seal ring 13 is used to prevent air leakage and oil leakage from the connection gap between the rotating shaft rod 7 and the fixing ring 5, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the oil tank body 1.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 Inside the rotating shaft rod 7, a water spraying pipe 8 is connected. The side end of the water spraying pipe 8 is connected with a water spraying head 9. The water spraying head 9 faces the inner wall of the oil tank body 1. The water spraying pipe 8 is located inside the spiral scraping strip 3 and the arc scraping strip 4, and is arranged staggeredly with both of them, not in the same plane. Thus, the water spraying pipe 8 will neither interfere with the scraping work of the spiral scraping strip 3 and the arc scraping strip 4, nor can the two hinder the water spraying head 9 from spraying water onto the inner wall of the oil tank body 1. The water inlet end of the water spraying pipe 8 is connected with a rotating connector 10. The rotating connector 10 is located at the outer end of the fixing ring 5. A high-pressure water pump 11 is arranged at the side end of the rotating connector 10. The water inlet end of the high-pressure water pump 11 is connected with a water purifier, and the water outlet end is connected with the rotating connector 10. Thus, starting the high-pressure water pump 11 can inject purified water into the water spraying pipe 8.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 5 The outer end of the fixing ring 5 is connected with a conductive ring 17. The rotating shaft rod 7 is slidably connected inside the conductive ring 17. The lower end of the conductive ring 17 is connected with a ground wire 18. The ground wire 18 is connected with the earth or a ground wire. Thus, the static electricity inside the water spraying pipe 8, the spiral scraping strip 3, and the arc scraping strip 4 can be conducted to the ground.
[0028] When using the present utility model: all the oil in the oil tank body 1 is discharged from the device through the oil outlet pipe 14, then the oil outlet pipe 14 is closed and the sewage discharge pipe 12 is opened, and the high-pressure water pump 11 is started to inject clean water into the water spray pipe 8. The clean water will be sprayed from the water spray head 9 towards the inner wall of the oil tank body 1. The motor 6 is started to drive the water spray pipe 8 to rotate, and at the same time drive the spiral scraping strip 3 and the arc scraping strip 4 to rotate. The water spray head 9 will conduct high-pressure water flow washing towards the inner wall of the oil tank body 1. The spiral scraping strip 3 and the arc scraping strip 4 scrape and clean the dirt on the inner walls of the oil tank body 1 and the hemispherical shell 2. The two cooperate to clean the stains in the oil tank body 1. At the same time, the rotation of the spiral scraping strip 3 can push the fallen stains to move, so as to push the cleaning water and stains towards the sewage discharge pipe 12, thereby discharging them from the oil tank body 1.
[0029] The above is only the embodiment of the present utility model and is not used to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present utility model. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
