Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of IBC containers, and specifically relates to a light-shielding IBC container for storing liquids. Background Art
[0002] IBC containers have the advantages of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, etc., and are widely used in industries such as chemical industry, medicine, food, coatings, and oils. They are essential tools for modern warehousing and transporting liquid products. The corner protector of the container is a protection device to protect the inner container from external damage within the frame. The current installation process is to first insert the inner container into the frame to two-thirds of its height, and then manually insert the corner protector into the gap between the inner container and the frame.
[0003] Common IBC containers are composed of a base, a liquid storage box, and an outer frame. When in use, the liquid storage box is inserted inside the outer frame for protection. However, in this way, since the inner side of the liquid storage box is in close contact with the inner side of the outer frame, if the outer frame is collided externally, it may cause the IBC container to be damaged, and the protection effect is poor. Moreover, in terms of light shielding, the IBC container only relies on the liquid storage box itself and the reflective material coated on its exterior for light shielding. When exposed to high temperatures or direct sunlight, it may accelerate the aging process of the IBC container and reduce its service life, failing to meet the working requirements of the IBC container. Therefore, a light-shielding IBC container for storing liquids is proposed. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] (1) Technical Problems to be Solved
[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a light-shielding IBC container for storing liquids to solve the technical problem that since the inner side of the liquid storage box is in close contact with the inner side of the outer frame, if the outer frame is collided externally, it may cause the IBC container to be damaged and the protection effect is poor.

[0011] Preferably, the front ends of the guide rods are all threaded structures. Nuts are screwed on the front parts of the guide rods. High-gloss paint coatings are coated on the outer sides of the protective baffles, which can reflect strong light.
[0012] Preferably, a reinforcing layer is installed inside the liquid storage tank. A light-shielding layer is laid inside the reinforcing layer. A clean layer is laid inside the light-shielding layer. The added reinforcing layer improves the strength of the liquid storage tank and enhances its ability to resist deformation. The light-shielding layer can block the penetration of light and can effectively protect the substances inside the liquid storage tank from the influence of light. The clean layer ensures the purity of the contents in the liquid storage tank.
[0013] Preferably, mounting seats are connected to the left and right sides of the top of the outer frame. Reel shafts are installed inside the mounting seats through tripod supports.

[0014] Preferably, hand wheels are coaxially connected to the front ends of the reel shafts. Connecting plates are installed at the front and rear inner ends of the reel shafts. First extension skeletons are connected to the tops of the connecting plates through bearings, which improves the strength of the light-shielding curtain after extension.
[0015] Preferably, the lower inner ends of the first extension skeletons are hinged to second extension skeletons through torsion spring shafts. The inner ends of the second extension skeletons are connected to the outer sides of the bottoms of the light-shielding curtains. The first extension skeletons and the second extension skeletons are both made of steel. By rotating the hand wheels to drive the rotation of the reel shafts, the light-shielding curtains can be retracted and extended under the cooperation of the first extension skeletons and the second extension skeletons.
[0016] (III) Beneficial effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model provides a light-shielding IBC container for liquid storage, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] The light-shielding IBC container for storing liquids is provided with protective baffles. When an impact force is generated on the liquid storage box due to external impact or improper loading, the protective baffles will be impacted first, causing the springs outside the guide rods to be compressed. With the cooperation of the buffer rods, the sliding sleeves drive the springs outside the cross bars to be compressed, thereby reducing the impact force on the outer frame and the liquid storage box. At the same time, it can avoid direct damage to the surface of the liquid storage box. Since the protective baffles are installed around the outer frame, it can play a role in shading the surface of the liquid storage box, preventing the liquid storage box from being directly exposed to high temperature or direct sunlight, slowing down the aging process of the IBC container, and increasing its service life.

Please refer to Figure 6 , nuts 12 are screwed on the front parts of the guide rods 6, and high-gloss paint coatings are coated on the outside of the protective baffles 7;
[0031] Please refer to Figure 5 , hinge ears 10 are installed on the upper and lower left and right sides of the inside of the protective baffle 7. Sliding sleeves 9 are sleeved on the left and right sides of the outside of the cross bar 5 at the inner ends of the springs 8. Buffer rods 11 are movably installed between the sliding sleeves 9 and the hinge ears 10 through bearings. By adding the protective baffle 7, when an impact force is generated on the liquid storage box 2 due to external impact or improper loading, the protective baffle 7 will be impacted first, causing it to squeeze the spring 8 outside the guide rod 6, and driving the sliding sleeve 9 to squeeze the spring 8 outside the cross bar 5 under the cooperation of the buffer rod 11. Thus, the impact force received by the outer frame 3 and the liquid storage box 2 can be reduced, and at the same time, direct damage to the surface of the liquid storage box 2 can be avoided.

First extension skeletons 17 are connected to the tops of the connecting plates 16 through bearings. Second extension skeletons 18 are hinged to the lower parts of the inner ends of the first extension skeletons 17 through torsion spring shafts. The inner ends of the second extension skeletons 18 are connected to the outer sides of the bottoms of the light-shielding curtains 141. The first extension skeletons 17 and the second extension skeletons 18 are both made of steel. By rotating the handwheels 15 to drive the rotation of the winding shafts 14, the light-shielding curtains 141 can be retracted and extended under the cooperation of the first extension skeletons 17 and the second extension skeletons 18, so as to protect the top and the water inlet of the liquid storage tank 2.
[0033] In this solution, due to the added protective baffle 7, when an impact force is generated on the liquid storage tank 2 due to external impact or improper loading, the protective baffle 7 will be impacted first, causing it to squeeze the spring 8 outside the guide rod 6, and driving the sliding sleeve 9 to squeeze the spring 8 outside the cross bar 5 under the cooperation of the buffer rod 11, so as to reduce the impact force received by the outer frame 3 and the liquid storage tank 2. At the same time, it can prevent the surface of the liquid storage tank 2 from being directly damaged. And because the protective baffle 7 is installed around the outer frame 3, it can play a role in shading the surface of the liquid storage tank 2, preventing the liquid storage tank 2 from being directly exposed to high temperature or direct sunlight, slowing down the aging process of the IBC container, increasing the service life. At the same time, by rotating the handwheels 15 to drive the rotation of the winding shafts 14, the light-shielding curtains 141 can be retracted and extended under the cooperation of the first extension skeletons 17 and the second extension skeletons 18, so as to protect the top and the water inlet of the liquid storage tank 2.
