Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tanks, in particular to an anti-sedimentation glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tank. Background Art
[0002] Storage tanks are widely used in the petroleum, chemical, grain and oil, food, fire protection, transportation, metallurgy and other industries, and are essential infrastructure in these industries. They are used to store various liquid or gas raw materials and finished products. For many companies, storage tanks are indispensable equipment for normal production.
[0003] The utility model patent with announcement number CN 215099624 U proposes a storage tank. The tank is equipped with a fixing plate, a bracket group, a support plate, etc., and the card block is engaged with the fixing groove. The bracket group can be disassembled to prevent the anti-dumping equipment from affecting the transportation of the fiberglass reinforced plastic storage tank. The support frame and the support plate can support the fiberglass reinforced plastic storage tank. The fixing assembly can fix the support frame and the limit frame to prevent the bracket group from rotating at will, thereby preventing the storage tank from tipping over. The anti-slip ridges can enhance the friction between the support plate and the ground and improve the anti-dumping effect. This design changes the situation that traditional fiberglass vertical flat-bottom storage tanks are easy to tip over, and prevents the storage tank from tipping over through anti-dumping equipment.
[0004] However, in actual use, although the above case effectively solves the problem of easy tipping of FRP storage tanks, when storing certain liquid media for a long time, especially those materials that are easy to precipitate or stratify (such as certain chemicals, suspensions, paints, coatings, etc.), the medium may be deposited inside the tank, resulting in uneven media, affecting product quality, and even clogging pipelines. The sedimentation phenomenon not only reduces the effective storage capacity of the tank, but may also cause safety hazards due to excessive local concentration. In addition, although the above anti-tip design enhances the stability of the tank, it does not directly solve the problem of medium precipitation. For occasions where long-term storage is required and there are high requirements for medium uniformity, it is not enough to rely solely on physical support to prevent tipping. It is also necessary to consider how to promote the flow of the medium inside the tank to prevent or reduce the occurrence of precipitation. Therefore, the utility model provides a sedimentation-resistant FRP storage tank to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

[0010] Optionally, a plurality of water flow holes are provided inside the main rotating blade and the side rotating blade, and the main rotating blade and the side rotating blade are both located inside the storage tank body.
[0011] Optionally, the side rotating blade passes through the sealing box, and the contact surface between the sealing box and the side rotating blade is fixedly connected with a sealing sleeve. The outer side of the sealing box and the two ends intersecting the side rotating blade are fixedly connected with a limiting rod, and the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the tank body.
[0012] Optionally, the storage tank body is made of fiberglass.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0014] In the above scheme, by setting up an anti-sedimentation component, including a rotating shaft, a rotating sleeve, a driving gear, a driven gear, a main rotating blade and a side rotating blade, these components work together to form an all-round stirring effect inside the storage tank, effectively preventing the medium from settling at the bottom of the storage tank or in a certain area due to long-term stationary state. Due to the continuous stirring action of the anti-sedimentation component, the medium inside the storage tank can be kept evenly distributed, avoiding the problem of uneven concentration caused by medium stratification or precipitation, which is particularly important for occasions where it is necessary to maintain medium uniformity.
[0015] By setting up a driving gear and a sealing box, and by virtue of the setting that the diameter of the driving gear is larger than that of the driven gear, the device can drive the side rotating blades to rotate synchronously without external power, and the rotation speed of the side rotating blades can be greater than that of the main rotating blades, so that the waste liquid inside the main body forms a vortex that diffuses from the middle to the upper and lower ends, thereby accelerating the stirring efficiency. The setting of the sealing box can prevent the medium from soaking the driving gear and the driven gear, thereby improving the practicality of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides an anti-sedimentation glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tank, including a storage tank body 1, the bottom end of one side of the storage tank body 1 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe, the top of the storage tank body 1 is fixedly connected to an input pipe 13, the outside of the discharge pipe is fixedly connected to a control valve, and the tops of both sides of the storage tank body 1 are fixedly connected to handles 11; an anti-sedimentation component, the anti-sedimentation component is used to prevent the material inside the storage tank body 1 from settling, the anti-sedimentation component is connected to the storage tank body 1, the anti-sedimentation component includes a rotating shaft 2 rotatably connected to the inside of the storage tank body 1, the outside of the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve 3, the outside of the rotating sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to a sealing box 4, the inner sides of both ends of the sealing box 4 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 2, and both sides of the rotating sleeve 3 are rotatably connected to driven gears 6, the outside of the rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected to a driving gear 5, and the two ends of the driving gear 5 are respectively meshed at right angles with the two driven gears 6, and the two ends of the outer side of the rotating shaft 2 at the sealing box 4 are fixedly connected to main rotating blades 8, and the driven gear 6 is fixed away from the side of the rotating sleeve 3. The top of the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the inside of the top of the tank body 1, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 2 passes through the bottom end of the tank body 1. The contact surface of the sealing box 4 and the rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected with a sealing ring. The bottom of the tank body 1 is fixedly connected to a plurality of support rods 9. The bottom of the support rods 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom plate 10. The center of the top of the bottom plate 10 is fixedly connected to the motor 12. The output end of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 2. The main rotating blade 8 and the side rotating blade 7 are both provided with Several water holes, main rotating blades 8 and side rotating blades 7 are all located inside the storage tank body 1, and the side rotating blades 7 pass through the sealing box 4. The contact surface of the sealing box 4 and the side rotating blade 7 is fixedly connected with a sealing sleeve. The outer side of the sealing box 4 and the two ends intersecting with the side rotating blade 7 are fixedly connected to limit rods, and the limit rods are fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the storage tank body 1. The anti-precipitation fiberglass reinforced plastic storage tank is installed in the specified position, ensuring that the support rods 9 and the bottom plate 10 firmly support the storage tank body 1, connecting the power supply of the motor 12, and starting the motor 12. The output end of the motor 12 will drive the shaft 2 to start rotating, open the valve on the input pipe 13 (not shown in the figure), and fill the medium to be stored into the storage tank body 1 through the input pipe 13. During the filling process, the flow of the medium in the storage tank body 1 can be observed to ensure that the medium is evenly distributed. When the motor 12 is started, the shaft 2 will drive the driving gear 5 to rotate. Because the driving gear 5 meshes with the two driven gears 6 at right angles, the driven gears 6 also rotate synchronously. Since the driving gear 5 has a larger diameter than the driven gears 6, when they rotate at the same angular velocity, the linear velocity of the driven gear 6 is greater than that of the driving gear 5. This causes the side rotors 7 to rotate faster than the main rotors 8. The rotation of the main and side rotors 8 and 7 creates a stirring effect, causing the medium within the tank body 1 to form eddy currents that spread from the center toward the upper and lower ends. This eddy current effectively prevents the medium from settling at the bottom of the tank or in a specific area for extended periods of time.
[0030] The provision of sealing box 4 prevents the medium from soaking the driving gear 5 and driven gear 6, thereby extending the gear's service life and improving the device's practicality. Furthermore, the provision of a sealing ring and sealing sleeve also ensures the device's sealing performance. To discharge the medium from the storage tank body 1, the valve on the inlet pipe 13 is closed and the control valve on the discharge pipe is opened. The medium will then flow out of the storage tank body 1 through the discharge pipe, completing the medium discharge operation.
[0031] By installing an anti-sedimentation assembly, including a rotating shaft 2, a rotating sleeve 3, a driving gear 5, a driven gear 6, a main rotating blade 8, and a side rotating blade 7, the medium within the tank body 1 is stirred omnidirectionally. This stirring effect effectively prevents the medium from settling at the bottom of the tank or in a specific area. Thanks to the continuous stirring action of the anti-sedimentation assembly, the medium within the tank body 1 is evenly distributed. This is particularly important in applications where maintaining medium uniformity is crucial, such as liquid storage in the chemical and food industries. The anti-sedimentation fiberglass reinforced plastic storage tank of the present invention not only solves the problem of medium sedimentation but also retains the basic functions of the original tank. Furthermore, the rotation of the rotating shaft 2 and the rotating blades is driven by a motor 12, making it easy to operate and maintain. The presence of a sealing box 4 prevents the medium from soaking key components such as the driving gear 5 and the driven gear 6, thereby extending their service life. Furthermore, the use of sealing components such as sealing rings and sealing sleeves ensures the sealing performance and service life of the device. By effectively preventing medium sedimentation and maintaining medium uniformity, problems such as pipe blockage and equipment failure caused by medium sedimentation are reduced. This reduces the maintenance and operating costs of the tank, thereby improving the economic benefits of the enterprise.
[0032] The material of the storage tank body 1 is fiberglass. As the material of the storage tank body 1, fiberglass has multiple advantages such as excellent corrosion resistance, light weight and high strength, design flexibility, good thermal insulation performance and environmental protection and recyclability.
[0033] The working principle provided by the present invention is that when the motor 12 is started, its output end will drive the rotating shaft 2 to start rotating. The rotating shaft 2 is the core component of the entire anti-precipitation assembly, and its rotation will drive the driving gear 5 connected to it to rotate together. The driving gear 5 is meshed with the two driven gears 6 at right angles. This design ensures that when the driving gear 5 rotates, the driven gear 6 can rotate synchronously and stably. Since the diameter of the driving gear 5 is larger than that of the driven gear 6, according to the principle of gear transmission, when they rotate at the same angular velocity, the linear velocity of the driven gear 6 will be greater than the linear velocity of the driving gear 5. The outer side of the rotating shaft 2 is located at both ends of the sealing box 4 and is fixedly connected to the main rotating blade 8, while the side of the driven gear 6 away from the rotating sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the side rotating blade 7. When the rotating shaft 2 and the driving gear 5 rotate, the main rotating blade 8 and the side rotating blade 7 will also rotate accordingly. The rotation of the main rotating blade 8 and the side rotating blade 7 will produce a powerful stirring effect, causing the medium in the storage tank body 1 to form a vortex that diffuses from the middle to the upper and lower ends. This eddy current can not only effectively prevent the medium from settling at the bottom of the tank or in a certain area for a long time, but also ensure the uniform distribution of the medium in the tank. The setting of the sealing box 4 is a highlight of the present invention. It prevents the medium from directly soaking key components such as the driving gear 5 and the driven gear 6, thereby extending the service life of these components. At the same time, the use of sealing parts such as sealing rings and sealing sleeves also ensures the sealing performance of the device, preventing medium leakage. When filling the medium, open the valve on the input pipe 13 and fill the medium to be stored into the tank body 1 through the input pipe 13. During the filling process, the flow of the medium in the tank body 1 can be observed to ensure the uniform distribution of the medium. When the medium in the tank body 1 needs to be discharged, close the valve on the input pipe 13 and open the control valve on the discharge pipe. The medium will flow out of the tank body 1 through the discharge pipe, completing the medium discharge operation.

To provide a thorough understanding of this invention, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments of this invention, but those skilled in the art will be able to fully understand this invention without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.
[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
