Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ton barrels, in particular to a lightweight ton barrel structure. Background Art

[0002] Ton barrels, or intermediate bulk containers, are often used to store liquid products. Their structural design consists of an outer metal frame that not only bears the weight but also acts as a crash barrier. Inside, they contain a blow-molded plastic container specifically designed for storing liquids. The metal frame is designed to protect the plastic container from damage, ensuring the safe transport of liquid products.

[0003] However, the ton barrels currently in widespread circulation are generally overweight, which not only directly increases logistics costs but also indirectly increases other related costs, such as energy consumption during handling, storage, and transportation. Furthermore, overweight ton barrels create numerous inconveniences for users, such as difficulty handling and reduced operational efficiency, thus impacting the smoothness of the overall operational process. For example, the ton barrels disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication Nos. 220702109 and 219688177 exhibit these issues.

[0027] In this embodiment, the main structure consists of two major parts: the barrel and the inner container. The barrel, serving as the load-bearing structure, combines the design of the top cover and the base. The edge of the top cover extends toward the base, forming several evenly distributed connecting ribs that are fixedly connected to the base. These connecting ribs, the top cover, and the base together form a chamber for containing materials.

[0028] Specifically, the barrel body is constructed from high-quality metal or composite materials to withstand the forces of storage and transport. The top lid is designed with a flat, spacious surface for easy operation and maintenance. Extending downward from the edge of the lid are a series of precisely calculated connecting ribs. These ribs not only strengthen the connection between the lid and base, but also, through their specific distribution, enhance the overall strength of the barrel body. Together, the connecting ribs, the lid, and the base form a closed-off cavity, providing secure external protection for the inner container.

[0029] In this embodiment, the inner liner serves as a storage unit and includes a first fixed portion fixedly connected to the top cover, a second fixed portion fixedly connected to the base, and a bile bag portion located between the first and second fixed portions. The bile bag portion defines a liquid storage chamber for storing liquid. To ensure efficient liquid circulation, an inlet pipe is provided on the first fixed portion, directly leading to the liquid storage chamber; while a liquid outlet pipe is provided on the second fixed portion, also connected to the liquid storage chamber. The bile bag portion of the inner liner is made of a flexible material to accommodate different shapes and capacities.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the bile bag portion 23 is made of four layers of flexible material, which are sequentially arranged from the inside to the outside as a contact layer 2301, a barrier layer 2302, a reinforcement layer 2303 and a protection layer 2304.

[0031] Specifically, the bladder bag is made of four layers of flexible materials, from the inside to the outside, they are contact layer, barrier layer, reinforcement layer and protective layer, and each layer of material has different functions; the contact layer is in direct contact with the liquid and is made of corrosion-resistant and low-permeability materials; the barrier layer further improves the anti-penetration performance to ensure liquid safety; the reinforcement layer enhances the pressure and tear resistance of the bladder by strengthening the arrangement of material fibers; the outermost layer is the protective layer, which resists physical and chemical damage in the external environment.

[0032] In this embodiment, the contact layer 2301, the barrier layer 2302, the reinforcement layer 2303, and the protective layer 2304 are fixedly connected by adhesive. The adhesive is used to fix the layers of the liner together to ensure the integrity and sealing of the liner.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 15 are formed between the plurality of connecting ribs 13. In order to enhance the structural strength of the barrel, reinforcing ribs are further provided between the connecting ribs to help disperse external pressure.

[0036] In this embodiment, to ensure efficient and safe liquid inflow and outflow, an inlet valve is installed on the first fixed portion of the inner liner. This valve is connected to a detachable inlet tube for easy cleaning and replacement. The inlet tube is made of corrosion-resistant material to ensure long-term wear and tear resistance. Similarly, a discharge valve and a detachable discharge tube are installed on the second fixed portion to ensure smooth liquid discharge. The discharge valve is designed to be easy to operate and has a good seal to prevent leakage during the discharge process.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, an air valve assembly 25 connected to the liquid storage chamber 231 is provided on the first fixed part 21, and the air valve assembly 25 includes a regulating air valve 251, an air intake pipe 252 and an air exhaust pipe 253, and the air intake pipe 252 and the air exhaust pipe 253 are detachably connected to the regulating air valve 251.

[0038] In this embodiment, to ensure stable pressure within the liquid storage chamber, an air valve assembly is added to the first fixed portion. This assembly includes a regulating air valve, an air inlet pipe, and an air extraction pipe. Through detachable connections, the user can adjust the air pressure within the chamber as needed. This is particularly important for certain pressure-sensitive liquids, effectively preventing leakage or quality changes caused by pressure fluctuations.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the base 12 is formed with multiple evenly distributed support legs 16, and the top cover 11 is provided with support grooves 17 corresponding to the support legs 16.
