Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of asphalt storage equipment, in particular to an environmentally friendly storage tank for high-viscosity asphalt. Background Art

[0002] Asphalt is a dark brown complex mixture composed of hydrocarbons of different molecular weights and their non-metallic derivatives. It is a type of high-viscosity organic liquid. It is liquid with a black surface and is soluble in carbon disulfide. High-viscosity asphalt refers to asphalt materials that can maintain a high viscosity under high temperature conditions.

[0003] Currently, the storage of high-viscosity asphalt primarily relies on conventional asphalt storage tanks. Due to its high viscosity, high-viscosity asphalt easily adheres to the inner walls of the tanks, resulting in a large amount of material residue. This not only wastes resources but also increases the difficulty and cost of cleaning. Furthermore, if cleaning is not thorough, the residual high-viscosity asphalt in the tank will affect the quality of subsequent storage, significantly reducing the tank's service life. Therefore, we propose an environmentally friendly storage tank for high-viscosity asphalt to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] An environmentally friendly storage tank for high-viscosity asphalt, comprising:

[0006] A truncated table, with support legs connected to both sides of the bottom surface of the table, a discharge pipe embedded in the middle of the table, and a valve installed on the body of the discharge pipe;

[0007] The tank body is fixed on the top of the truncated table. The upper and lower ends of the tank body are open structures. A scraper plate is slidably provided inside the tank body. A feed pipe is embedded in the middle of the scraper plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] This application provides an environmentally friendly storage tank for high-viscosity asphalt, which is mainly used to solve the problem that high-viscosity asphalt in the prior art is easily adhered to the inner wall of the storage tank due to its high viscosity, resulting in a large amount of material residue. This not only wastes resources, but also increases the difficulty and cost of cleaning. In addition, if the cleaning is not thorough, the high-viscosity asphalt remaining in the storage tank will affect the quality of the next storage, resulting in a significant reduction in the service life of the storage tank. The following technical solutions are provided. Figure 1-Figure 3 Give detailed instructions:

[0025] An environmentally friendly storage tank for high-viscosity asphalt, comprising:

[0026] The truncated platform 1 has support legs connected to both sides of its bottom surface, a discharge pipe 2 is embedded in the middle of the truncated platform 1, and a valve is installed on the body of the discharge pipe 2;

[0027] The tank body 3 is fixed on the top of the round table 1. The upper and lower ends of the tank body 3 are open structures. A scraper plate 4 is slidably provided inside the tank body 3. A feed pipe 5 is embedded in the middle of the scraper plate 4.

[0028] The cross plate 6 is fixed at the upper end of the tank body 3. A U-shaped channel 601 is constructed in the middle of the cross plate 6. The feed pipe 5 is slidably connected to the U-shaped channel 601.

[0029] The driving mechanism 7 is arranged on the side of the U-shaped channel 601, and the driving mechanism 7 is used to drive the feeding pipe 5 to move up and down.

[0030] Workflow Description

[0031] The first step is high viscosity asphalt feeding:

[0032] The driving mechanism 7 drives the feed pipe 5 upward, causing the hanging plate to move to the highest point (contacting the cross plate 6), and high-viscosity asphalt is added into the tank body 3 from the upper end of the feed pipe 5;

[0033] The second step is to discharge high viscosity asphalt:

[0034] When asphalt needs to be taken, open the valve on the discharge pipe 2 and the asphalt can be discharged through the lower port of the discharge pipe 2;

[0035] Step 3: Cleaning of high-viscosity asphalt:

[0036] The feed pipe 5 is driven downward by the driving mechanism 7. During the downward movement of the scraper plate 4, the adhered asphalt is scraped off and falls to the bottom of the tank 3 or is discharged together with the asphalt.

[0037] The environmentally friendly storage tank for high-viscosity asphalt is provided with a scraper plate 4 and a drive mechanism 7. Driven by the drive mechanism 7, the scraper plate 4 moves up and down along the inner wall of the tank body 3, scraping off the adhered asphalt and causing it to fall to the bottom of the tank body 3 or be discharged together with the asphalt, thereby reducing material residue and waste. Since the residue and adhesion of asphalt in the tank body 3 are reduced, the service life of the tank body 3 can be significantly extended, and the replacement cost is reduced.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 7 includes a "Four-character" plate 701 fixed on the side of the U-shaped channel 601, and a rotating rod 702 is rotatably connected between the inner side walls of the "Four-character" plate 701. A gear 703 is fixed to the middle of the rotating rod 702. A driving motor 704 is installed on one side of the cross plate 6. The output shaft of the driving motor 704 is connected to one end of the rotating rod 702. A tooth groove 705 is constructed on the side of the surface of the feeding tube 5 close to the "Four-character" plate 701. The tooth groove 705 is engaged with the gear 703. More specifically, the driving mechanism 7 works Principle: The operator starts the drive motor 704, the motor starts to rotate, and the output shaft of the drive motor 704 drives the rotating rod 702 to rotate. As the rotating rod 702 rotates, the gear 703 fixed in the middle of the rotating rod 702 also starts to rotate and meshes with the tooth groove 705 on the surface of the feed pipe 5. Due to the meshing action of the gear 703 and the tooth groove 705, the feed pipe 5 is driven to move up and down along the U-shaped channel 601. Through the up and down movement of the feed pipe 5, the adhesion of high-viscosity asphalt to the inner wall of the tank body 3 is effectively removed or prevented, thereby reducing material residue and waste.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the tank body 3 is coated with a solvent-free epoxy coating, the outer shell of the tank body 3 is a hollow structure, and its interior is filled with glass fiber 301. More specifically, the solvent-free epoxy coating has excellent chemical stability and corrosion resistance, and can protect the inner wall of the tank body 3 from being eroded by high-viscosity asphalt. At the same time, the smooth surface formed by the coating helps to reduce material adhesion and facilitates cleaning and maintenance. The low thermal conductivity characteristics of the hollow structure and the glass fiber 301 filler help to isolate the influence of external temperature changes on the material in the tank and keep the temperature in the tank stable. These design features of the tank body 3 make it more durable, safe and environmentally friendly, while also improving operating efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, a rubber sealing ring 8 is fixedly provided on the upper edge of the scraper plate 4. More specifically, the rubber sealing ring 8 can effectively prevent material leakage and external pollutants from entering, improve the sealing performance of the equipment, protect the equipment, extend its service life, reduce maintenance costs, and improve overall production efficiency and safety.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom surface of the scraper plate 4 is spherical, and a groove 101 that matches the bottom surface of the scraper plate 4 is constructed in the middle of the top of the cone 1. More specifically, the spherical shape and the design of the groove 101 can utilize the flow characteristics of high-viscosity asphalt, making it not easy to adhere to the scraper plate 4 and the top of the cone 1, and having a self-cleaning effect. In addition, due to the close fit between the spherical bottom surface of the scraper plate 4 and the groove 101 on the top of the cone 1, it is beneficial to the subsequent extrusion and discharge of the high-viscosity asphalt.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a pipe cover 9 is provided at the upper end of the feed pipe 5, and the pipe cover 9 is threadedly connected to the feed pipe 5. More specifically, the pipe cover 9 can prevent dust, dirt and other impurities from entering the feed pipe 5, and protect the internal high-viscosity asphalt from contamination. The threaded connection can provide good sealing and prevent material from leaking from the gap between the feed pipe 5 and the pipe cover 9.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, an extension rod 10 is connected to the inner top wall of the pipe cover 9, and a movable disk 11 is fixed to the bottom end of the extension rod 10. The movable disk 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feed pipe 5. More specifically, when the pipe cover 9 is opened or closed, the extension rod 10 drives the movable disk 11 to move up and down inside the feed pipe 5, and the outer edge of the movable disk 11 scrapes the inner wall of the feed pipe 5. The scraping action helps to remove high-viscosity asphalt attached to the pipe wall and prevents material from accumulating on the pipe wall, thereby maintaining the fluidity of the material and reducing the risk of blockage.

[0044] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
