[0026] As mentioned in the background technology, in order to solve the problems in the prior art, this embodiment provides a multi-faceted lifting liquid storage tank device, comprising:

[0027] A first trough body 1, comprising a first sub-wall, a second sub-wall, and a third sub-wall connected in an integral manner, wherein the first sub-wall and the third sub-wall are vertically connected to both ends of the second sub-wall along a first horizontal direction and extend in the same direction;

[0028] The second tank body 2 is slidably matched with the first tank body 1 and can be enclosed with the first tank body 1 to form a liquid storage tank;

[0029] The driving mechanism is provided on the second trough body 2 and is used to drive the first trough body 1 to move in the vertical direction.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the liquid storage tank is approximately a rectangular shell with an open end at the top, and the first horizontal direction is the length direction of the liquid storage tank; the first tank body 1 includes three side walls of the liquid storage tank connected in sequence, and the second tank body 2 includes the remaining side wall and the bottom wall, and the two can be combined to form a liquid storage tank; the driving mechanism is provided on the second tank body 2, and its driving end is connected to the first tank body 1, which can drive the first tank body 1 to move in the vertical direction so that the first tank body 1 rises or falls relative to the second tank body 2. When the first tank body 1 descends, the liquid storage tank is opened, and when the first tank body rises, the liquid storage tank is closed.

[0031] By designing the liquid storage tank into two slidably matched parts, namely the first tank body 1 and the second tank body 2, and using a driving mechanism to drive the first tank body 1 to move in the vertical direction, so that it can rise or fall relative to the second tank body, the three side walls of the liquid storage tank can be opened by lowering the liquid storage tank. Compared with the traditional manual side opening door structure, it has high flexibility and can be better suitable for automated production lines. The lifting and opening structure can save more space and facilitate the layout of automated production lines.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the second tank body 2 has a connecting portion, and a sealing structure is provided on the periphery of the connecting portion. The sealing structure is used to ensure a sealed connection between the second tank body 2 and the first tank body 1 .

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting portion is the position where the outer periphery of the side walls and bottom walls of the second trough body 2 corresponds to the first trough body 1 when the second trough body 2 and the first trough body 1 are enclosed, that is, the portion sealed with the first trough body 1 through a sealing structure. A sealing structure is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting portion, which enables a sealed connection between the first trough body 1 and the second trough body 2 when they are combined.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the sealing structure includes a sealing groove 16, which is opened on the outer periphery of the connecting part. A first sealing strip 17 is provided in the sealing groove 16, and a second sealing strip 18 is provided at one end of the first sealing strip 17 away from the bottom of the sealing groove 16. The hardness of the second sealing strip 18 is greater than that of the first sealing strip 17.

[0035] like Figure 4As shown, the sealing groove 16 is opened on the outer periphery of the connecting part, the first sealing strip 17 is made of nitrile foam material, and the second sealing strip 18 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material. The first sealing strip 17 is arranged in the sealing groove 16, and the second sealing strip 18 is arranged on the side close to the open end of the sealing groove 16. The first sealing strip 17 made of nitrile foam material is soft and elastic, and the second sealing strip 18 made of polytetrafluoroethylene material has higher hardness and a smooth and wear-resistant surface. When the first trough body 1 moves relative to the second trough body 2, the squeezed first sealing strip 17 generates elasticity to make the second sealing strip 18 better fit on the first trough body 1. At the same time, the polytetrafluoroethylene material also has the advantages of high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, is more durable, and can adapt to the working environment in the liquid storage tank.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, a base 3 is fixed at the bottom of the second trough body 2, and the driving mechanism includes a driving motor 5, which is arranged on the base 3, and a transmission assembly is connected to the driving end of the driving motor 5. The transmission assembly is connected to the first trough body 1 and is used to drive the first trough body 1 to move in a vertical direction under the drive of the driving motor 5.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 3 is approximately a rectangular platform, which is arranged below the second trough body 2 and is used to fix the second trough body 2. The base 3 is also provided with supports 4 on both sides along the first horizontal direction. The drive motor 5 is arranged on one of the supports 4, and its driving end is connected to the first trough body 1 through a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly can drive the first trough body 1 to move in the vertical direction under the drive of the drive motor 5.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the free ends of the first sub-wall and the third sub-wall are respectively provided with connecting frames 6, and guide rails 7 are respectively fixed on the two connecting frames 6. Sliders are respectively provided at both ends of the base 3 along the first horizontal direction, and the slides are slidably matched with the guide rails 7.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the two connecting frames 6 are respectively fixed to the first sub-wall and the third sub-wall at one end away from the second sub-wall. A guide rail 7 is also provided on the connecting frame 6. The two supports 4 are respectively provided with sliders that can slide with the guide rail 7 on the side away from each other. In this embodiment, each support 4 is respectively provided with two sliders, and the two sliders are distributed in the vertical direction. By setting the guide rails 7 and sliders that can slide together, the movement of the first trough body 1 can be limited so that it can only move in the vertical direction relative to the second trough body 2. At the same time, the sliding connection method can make the first trough body 1 more stable when moving in the vertical direction.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a transmission shaft 8, which extends along a first horizontal direction and is rotatably connected to the base 3. The transmission shaft 8 is fixed to the driving end of the drive motor 5; transmission gears 9 are also sleeved on both ends of the transmission shaft 8, and the two transmission gears 9 are respectively engaged with racks 10, and the two racks 10 are respectively arranged on the two connecting frames 6.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the transmission shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the two supports 4 along the first horizontal direction, the driving motor 5 adopts a right-angle reduction motor in the prior art, the transmission shaft 8 and the driving end of the driving motor 5 are fixed by a flat key, and transmission gears 9 are respectively provided at both ends of the transmission shaft. The two racks 10 extend in the vertical direction and are correspondingly arranged on the two connecting frames 6. The two transmission gears 9 correspond to the two racks 10 one by one and are in transmission engagement; when in use, the driving motor 5 is started, and the driving motor 5 drives the transmission shaft 8 to rotate, so that the transmission gears 9 at both ends rotate around their axes, and then drive the first trough body 1 to move in the vertical direction through the racks 10.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, a limit assembly is further included, which is electrically connected to a controller. The limit assembly is used to generate a limit signal when the first trough body 1 moves to the upper limit position or the lower limit position in the vertical direction, and the controller controls the driving motor 5 to brake according to the limit signal.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper limit position is the position when the first trough body 1 moves to the position when it is combined with the second trough body 2, and the lower limit position is the lowest position to which the first trough body 1 can move in the vertical direction. The limit assembly is used to generate a limit signal when the first trough body 1 moves to the upper limit position and the lower limit position and transmit it to the controller. The controller controls the driving motor 5 to brake according to the limit signal, so that the first trough body 1 can be accurately braked when it is raised or lowered into place.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the limit assembly includes a limit switch 11, which is arranged on one side of the base along the first horizontal direction and is electrically connected to the controller. Two positioning blocks 12 are distributed in the vertical direction on one of the connecting frames 6. The two positioning blocks 12 can trigger the limit switch 11 respectively when the first trough body 1 moves to the upper limit position or the lower limit position along the vertical direction.

[0045] like Figure 3As shown, the limit switch 11 is arranged on the outside of one of the supports 4, and the limit switch 11 has a trigger end at one end close to the first trough body 1. Two positioning blocks 12 are provided on one of the connecting frames 6 on the same side as the limit switch 11. The two positioning blocks 12 are distributed in the vertical direction and can touch the trigger end when the first trough body 1 moves to the upper limit position or the lower limit position in the vertical direction, so that the limit switch 11 generates a limit signal and transmits it to the controller. The controller controls the driving motor 5 to brake according to the limit signal; in this embodiment, two limit switches 11 are provided, which can correspond to the two positioning blocks 12 respectively. At the same time, a proximity switch 13 is provided on the support 4 above the limit switch 11. The proximity switch 13 is located on one side of the transmission gear 9. The position of the first trough body 1 in the vertical direction can be detected by the number of teeth passing through the proximity switch 13 when the transmission gear 9 rotates.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of first oil discharge ports 14 are evenly formed on the inner wall of the first tank body 1 , a second oil discharge port is formed at the bottom of the second tank body, and the second oil discharge port is connected to an oil unloading valve 15 .

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of first strip-shaped oil discharge ports 14 are evenly arranged on the top of the inner wall of the first tank body 1, and the plurality of first oil discharge ports 14 are commonly connected to the oil tank. When the equipment is working, the oil in the liquid storage tank can overflow into the oil tank through the first oil discharge ports 14, thereby realizing the circulation of the oil; an oil unloading valve 15 is provided at the second oil discharge port, and the output end of the oil unloading valve 15 is also connected to an oil unloading pipeline. When the equipment is finished working, the oil unloading valve 15 can be opened to discharge the oil in the liquid storage tank through the second oil discharge port.

[0048] Working principle: Initially, the first trough body 1 and the second trough body 2 are combined into a liquid storage tank, and the drive motor 5 is started. The drive motor 5 drives the two transmission shafts 8, so that the two transmission gears 9 rotate around their axes, and then drives the first trough body 1 to descend in the vertical direction through the rack 10. When the first trough body 1 moves to the lower limit position, the positioning block 12 near the top of the connecting frame 6 triggers the corresponding limit switch 11, so that it generates a limit signal and transmits it to the controller, and the controller controls the drive motor 5 to brake; when the first trough body 1 and the second trough body 2 need to be combined, the drive motor 5 is started again, and the drive motor 5 drives the transmission shaft 8 to rotate, driving the rack 10 to make the first trough body 1 rise in the vertical direction. When the first trough body 1 rises to face the second trough body 2, the positioning block 12 near the bottom of the connecting frame 6 triggers the corresponding limit switch 11, so that the controller controls the drive motor 5 to brake. At this time, the first trough body 1 and the second trough body 2 are sealed and connected together to form a liquid storage tank.
