Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of edible oil storage, and more specifically to an automatic stirring device in a rapeseed oil storage tank. Background Art
[0002] During the rapeseed oil production process, the oil after the initial pressing still contains a significant amount of impurities and remains in a semi-finished state. To improve the oil's quality, this semi-finished rapeseed oil is typically poured into storage tanks, where natural sedimentation and filtration allow the impurities to gradually settle to the bottom of the tank. The relatively clear oil layer is then extracted from the tank for further deep filtration and refining. However, this traditional process has certain drawbacks: as the sedimentation process progresses, a large amount of sediment and sludge accumulates at the bottom of the tank. This residue not only reduces the tank's reusability but also poses a potential threat to the purity of subsequent oil products. Particularly, some tank designs fail to adequately consider ease of cleaning, making cleaning extremely difficult and making it difficult to completely remove sediment. This not only increases production time and labor costs, but can also lead to hygiene issues due to incomplete cleaning, compromising the quality and food safety of the final product. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that effectively addresses the issues of sediment accumulation and cleaning difficulties within storage tanks, enabling efficient management and quality assurance of rapeseed oil storage. In this context, it is particularly important to develop an automatic stirring device for rapeseed oil storage tanks that combines automation and high efficiency. The device is designed to reduce sediment accumulation by stirring regularly or on demand, while facilitating subsequent cleaning, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0012] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0013] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0014] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not require further definition or explanation in subsequent drawings.
[0015] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientation or position relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0016] The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for distinction and description and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0017] The terms "parallel" and "perpendicular" do not necessarily mean that the components must be absolutely parallel or perpendicular, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "parallel" simply means that the direction is more parallel than "perpendicular", not that the structure must be completely parallel, but rather that it can be slightly tilted.
[0018] Terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "overhanging" do not necessarily mean that a component must be absolutely horizontal, vertical, or overhanging. A slight tilt is permitted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its orientation is more horizontal than "vertical." It does not mean that the structure must be perfectly horizontal, but rather that a slight tilt is permitted.
[0019] Furthermore, terms like "approximately" and "substantially" are intended to clarify that the relevant content does not require absolute precision, but rather allows for certain deviations. For example, "approximately equal" does not simply mean absolute equality. Because absolute equality is difficult to achieve in actual production and operational processes, certain deviations generally exist. Therefore, in addition to absolute equality, "approximately equal" also encompasses the aforementioned situation of certain deviations. Taking this as an example, in other contexts, unless otherwise specified, terms like "approximately" and "substantially" have similar meanings as described above.
[0020] It should also be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
