Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chemical equipment, in particular to a telescopic isobutyl methacrylate storage tank. Background Art

[0002] Isobutyl Methacrylate storage tanks are specially designed for storing isobutyl methacrylate (IBMA). Isobutyl methacrylate is an organic compound commonly used as a monomer in organic synthesis and a raw material for resins, plastics, coatings, printing inks, adhesives, lubricant additives, dental materials, fiber treatment agents, and paper coatings.

[0003] After searching, the patent with patent publication number CN216071442U discloses a chemical storage tank. Although the device can lift up the storage tank when it descends through the cooperation of the second fixed rod and the top block when in use, thereby achieving a shock-absorbing effect on the storage tank, and the third spring can provide a reaction force to the fixed block when the fixed block descends, thereby slowing down the downward trend of the fixed block, thereby achieving a shock-absorbing effect on the storage tank, but the capacity of the device is fixed when in use and cannot be adjusted, and cannot adapt to storage needs of different magnitudes. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a retractable isobutyl methacrylate storage tank, which solves the problems raised in the background technology.

[0005] The utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems as follows:

[0006] A retractable isobutyl methacrylate storage tank comprises a middle tank body, an upper tank body is mounted on the upper end of the middle tank body, a lower tank body is mounted on the bottom end of the middle tank body, and a base is mounted on the bottom end of the lower tank body;

[0007] A first slide groove is formed inside the upper tank body, a second slide groove is formed inside the lower tank body, and a slider is provided on the middle tank body. The upper tank body and the lower tank body are fixed at both ends of the middle tank body by the cooperation of the first slide groove, the second slide groove and the slider;

[0008] The base is provided with a connecting plate, the upper surface of the connecting plate is provided with an upper support, the bottom end of the connecting plate is provided with a lower support, the base supports the lower tank body through the upper support, and supports the upper tank body, middle tank body, lower tank body and base through the lower support.

[0009] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, a detection port is provided at the top of the upper tank body, and a pressure sensor or a temperature sensor is installed on the upper tank body through the detection port.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0012] Pressure and temperature sensors monitor the pressure and temperature within storage tanks in real time. This is particularly important for chemicals like isobutyl methacrylate, as improper pressure and temperature conditions can cause the material to decompose, volatilize, or even explode. Real-time monitoring can promptly detect abnormalities and trigger early warning systems, thereby preventing safety incidents. By monitoring the pressure and temperature within the storage tank, materials can be ensured to maintain a safe and stable storage environment. If pressure and temperature exceed normal ranges, appropriate measures can be taken to adjust the situation, such as adding a cooling system or reducing the feed rate, to ensure storage safety.

[0013] Furthermore, a first shield is provided on the inner surface of the upper tank body at the first slide groove, and a first sealed cavity is provided between the first shield and the upper tank body, and the slider slides in the first sealed cavity.

[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0015] The first sealed chamber formed between the first shield and the upper tank body provides a closed sliding environment for the slider. This design effectively prevents direct contact between the slider and the external environment during sliding, reducing the risk of leakage caused by external factors, thereby enhancing the overall sealing performance of the storage tank. The first shield and first sealed chamber also protect the slider and chute. During the sliding process of the slider, the environment within the first sealed chamber is relatively stable, reducing damage to the slider and chute due to friction, wear, and intrusion of external impurities, thereby extending the service life of these components.

[0016] Furthermore, a second shield is provided on the inner surface of the lower tank body at the second slide groove, a second sealed cavity is provided between the second shield and the lower tank body, and the slider slides in the second sealed cavity.

[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0018] The second sealed chamber formed between the second shield and the lower tank body provides a closed sliding environment for the slider. This design effectively isolates the slider from the external environment, reducing the risk of leakage due to friction, wear, or the intrusion of external impurities, thereby significantly enhancing the tank's sealing performance. This is particularly important for storing materials that require a high degree of sealing, such as flammable, explosive, or toxic chemicals. The environment within the second sealed chamber is relatively stable, reducing wear and corrosion on the slider and chute caused by direct exposure to the external environment. This helps extend the service life of these critical components, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the overall reliability of the tank.

[0019] Furthermore, a feed inlet and outlet pipe is provided at the bottom end of the lower tank body, and the lower tank body is loaded and unloaded through the feed inlet and outlet pipe.

[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0021] Positioning the feed and discharge pipes at the bottom of the lower tank makes loading and unloading operations extremely direct and efficient. Materials can be directly transported into and discharged from the storage tank via the pipes, eliminating the need for complex transfer processes and saving time and labor costs. Because the feed and discharge pipes are located at the bottom of the storage tank, materials can be discharged more thoroughly, reducing residue and waste. This is particularly important for expensive materials or those that require precise metering.

[0022] Furthermore, the upper tank body and the lower tank body are in a hemispherical shape, and the middle tank body is in a circular tube shape. The contact surfaces of the upper tank body, the lower tank body and the middle tank body are all provided with sealing rings.

[0023] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0024] The hemispherical upper and lower tank bodies are designed with excellent mechanical properties and can withstand large internal pressures and external forces. This shape can more effectively disperse stress and reduce the risk of structural damage due to pressure concentration. At the same time, the tubular middle tank body also provides good support, making the entire storage tank structure more stable. Sealing rings are provided on the contact surfaces of the upper and lower tank bodies with the middle tank body to ensure a tight connection between the various components and effectively prevent material leakage. Sealing rings are usually made of elastic materials and can adapt to certain deformations and displacements to maintain a long-term sealing effect. This design is particularly important for storing flammable, explosive, toxic or corrosive materials, and can ensure the safe storage and transportation of materials.

[0025] Furthermore, the upper support is in contact with the bottom surface of the lower tank body.

[0026] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:

[0027] The tight fit of the upper support and the bottom of the lower tank provides a solid support foundation for the entire tank. This design helps reduce shaking and vibration during operation, improving overall stability. Especially when subjected to heavy weight or external forces, the tightly fitting support can more effectively distribute and transfer the load, ensuring the safe operation of the tank. When the tank is subjected to internal pressure or external loads, the tight fit of the upper support and the bottom of the lower tank helps optimize stress distribution. By transferring some stress to the support and base system, the direct impact on the tank body is reduced, reducing the risk of damage caused by stress concentration. This helps extend the service life of the tank and improves overall safety performance.

[0028] The utility model provides a retractable isobutyl methacrylate storage tank, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] The design of the upper, middle, and lower tank bodies, particularly the tubular middle tank body, combined with the sliding of the slider within the first and second chutes, allows the entire storage tank to be vertically retractable. This design allows the tank body height to be adjusted to suit different storage needs, saving space and improving storage efficiency.

[0030] Sealing rings are installed between the upper, lower, and middle tanks. Seal chambers are also formed between the first shield and the upper tank, and between the second shield and the lower tank, ensuring a tight seal during the sliding process. This design effectively prevents leakage of stored materials and ensures a safe and pure storage environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the embodiment provided by the utility model:

[0042] Example 1

[0043] A retractable isobutyl methacrylate storage tank comprises a middle tank body 2, with an upper tank body 1 mounted on the upper end of the middle tank body 2. The top of the upper tank body 1 is provided with a detection port 101. A pressure sensor or temperature sensor is mounted on the upper tank body 1 through the detection port 101. The pressure sensor and temperature sensor are capable of monitoring the internal pressure and temperature conditions of the storage tank in real time. This is crucial for chemicals such as isobutyl methacrylate, as inappropriate pressure and temperature conditions can cause the material to decompose, volatilize, and even explode. Real-time monitoring can promptly detect abnormal conditions and activate early warning systems to avoid safety accidents. By monitoring the pressure and temperature within the storage tank, the material can be ensured to be stored in a safe and stable environment at all times. Once it is discovered that the pressure and temperature are outside the normal range, appropriate measures can be taken to adjust them, such as adding a cooling system, reducing the feed rate, etc., to ensure storage safety. The bottom end of the middle tank body 2 is installed with a lower tank body 3, and the bottom end of the lower tank body 3 is provided with an inlet and outlet pipe 303. The lower tank body 3 is loaded and unloaded through the inlet and outlet pipe 303. The inlet and outlet pipe 303 is set at the bottom end of the lower tank body 3, making the loading and unloading operations extremely direct and efficient. Materials can be directly transported into or discharged from the storage tank through the pipeline, eliminating the need for a tedious transportation process, thereby saving time and labor costs. Because the inlet and outlet pipe 303 is located at the bottom of the storage tank, materials can be discharged more thoroughly, reducing residue and waste. This is especially important for materials that are expensive or require precise measurement. A base 4 is installed at the bottom end of the lower tank body 3. The upper tank body 1 and the lower tank body 3 are hemispherical, and the middle tank body 2 is tubular. The contact surfaces of the upper tank body 1 and the lower tank body 3 with the middle tank body 2 are provided with sealing rings. The hemispherical upper tank body 1 and the lower tank body 3 are designed with excellent mechanical properties and can withstand large internal pressure and external forces. This shape can more effectively disperse stress and reduce the risk of structural damage caused by pressure concentration. At the same time, the tubular middle tank body 2 also provides good support, making the entire storage tank structure more stable. Providing sealing rings on the contact surfaces of the upper tank body 1 and the lower tank body 3 with the middle tank body 2 can ensure that the components are tightly connected and effectively prevent material leakage. The sealing ring is usually made of elastic material and can adapt to certain deformation and displacement to maintain a long-term sealing effect. This design is particularly important for storing flammable, explosive, toxic or corrosive materials, and can ensure the safe storage and transportation of materials. A first slide groove 102 is opened through the interior of the upper tank body 1, and a first protective cover 103 is provided on the inner surface of the upper tank body 1 at the first slide groove 102, and a first sealed cavity 104 is provided between the first protective cover 103 and the upper tank body 1. The slider 201 slides in the first sealed cavity 104. The first sealed cavity 104 formed between the first protective cover 103 and the upper tank body 1 creates a closed sliding space for the slider 201.This design successfully prevents the slider 201 from directly contacting the external environment during sliding, reducing the risk of leakage caused by external factors and thereby enhancing the overall sealing performance of the storage tank. The first shield 103 and the first sealed cavity 104 also serve to protect the slider 201 and the chute. During the sliding process of the slider 201, the environment within the first sealed cavity 104 is relatively stable, reducing damage to the slider 201 and the chute caused by friction, wear, or the intrusion of external impurities, thereby extending the service life of these components. A second chute 304 is formed throughout the interior of the lower tank body 3. A second shield 301 is provided on the inner surface of the lower tank body 3 at the location of the second chute 304. A second sealed cavity 302 is defined between the second shield 301 and the lower tank body 3. The slider 201 slides within the second sealed cavity 302. The second sealed cavity 302 formed between the second shield 301 and the lower tank body 3 provides a closed sliding environment for the slider 201. This design effectively isolates the slider 201 from the external environment, reduces the risk of leakage due to friction, wear or intrusion of external impurities, and significantly improves the sealing performance of the storage tank. This is especially critical for storing materials that require extremely high sealing properties, such as flammable, explosive or toxic chemicals. The environment in the second sealed cavity 302 is relatively stable, reducing the wear and corrosion of the slider 201 and the chute caused by direct exposure to the external environment. This helps to extend the service life of these key components, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the overall reliability of the storage tank. A slider 201 is provided on the middle tank body 2, and the upper tank body 1 and the lower tank body 3 are installed at both ends of the middle tank body 2 by cooperating with the first chute 102, the second chute 304 and the slider 201.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] In order to stably support the entire device, for example, Figures 1 to 5As shown, the present invention also includes: the base 4 is provided with a connecting plate 402, and the upper surface of the connecting plate 402 is provided with an upper support 401, and the upper support 401 is fitted with the bottom surface of the lower tank body 3. The close fit between the upper support 401 and the bottom end of the lower tank body 3 provides a stable support foundation for the entire storage tank. This design helps to reduce the shaking and vibration of the storage tank during operation and improve the overall stability. Especially when bearing a large weight or external force, the fitted support can more effectively disperse and transfer the load to ensure the safe operation of the storage tank. When the storage tank is subjected to internal pressure or external loads, the fitting design of the upper support 401 and the bottom end of the lower tank body 3 helps to optimize the stress distribution. By transferring part of the stress to the support and base 4 system, the direct effect on the storage tank body can be reduced, reducing the risk of damage caused by stress concentration. This helps to extend the service life of the storage tank and improve the overall safety performance. A lower support 403 is provided at the bottom end of the connecting plate 402. The base 4 supports the lower tank body 3 through the upper support 401, and supports the upper tank body 1, the middle tank body 2, the lower tank body 3 and the base 4 through the lower support 403.

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] When storage capacity needs to be increased, an external drive mechanism (such as a hydraulic cylinder, electric push rod, etc.) pushes the upper tank body 1 and the lower tank body 3, causing the slider 201 to slide in the first slide groove 102 and the second slide groove 304, causing the upper tank body 1 and the lower tank body 3 to extend downward relative to the middle tank body 2, thereby increasing the overall height and capacity of the storage tank. Conversely, when storage capacity needs to be reduced or maintenance is required, the drive mechanism moves in the opposite direction, causing the slider 201 to slide in the opposite direction, causing the upper tank body 1 and the lower tank body 3 to retract into the middle tank body 2, reducing the overall size of the storage tank.

[0048] During the telescopic adjustment process, the sealing ring always remains on the contact surface to ensure that the sealing of the storage tank is not affected. At the same time, the slider 201 in the first sealed cavity 104 and the second sealed cavity 302 also plays a certain sealing role during the sliding process.

[0049] The pressure sensor or temperature sensor installed at the detection port 101 monitors the pressure, temperature and other parameters of the material in the tank in real time. Once the parameters exceed the normal range, an alarm is immediately triggered or other protective measures are taken to ensure the safety of the storage tank and the material.

[0050] The inlet and outlet pipes 303 at the bottom of the lower tank body 3 are used for loading and unloading of materials. When loading is required, the valves of the inlet and outlet pipes 303 are opened to transport the materials into the storage tank through the pipes; when unloading is required, the valves are also opened to discharge the materials from the storage tank.

[0051] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention.
