[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown: a transport device with a tank tipping function, including a vehicle body and a tank body 2. The vehicle body and the tank body 2 are introduced in detail below.

[0030] The vehicle body includes a frame 10, a frame lifting mechanism 11, a tank clamping mechanism 12, a tank lifting mechanism 13, a steering mechanism 14, a cab 15, and a power mechanism 16, wherein:

[0031] The frame 10 is provided with a groove 100 for receiving the can 2. In this embodiment, the groove 100 is provided on the side of the frame 10, i.e., it is open on one side and is U-shaped, so that there is no obstruction and the can 2 can be loaded into the frame 10 through the groove 100. Preferably, guide grooves 101 are provided on the frame 10 on both sides of the groove 100 to serve as guides for loading the can 2.

[0032] The tank body clamping mechanism 12 and the tank body lifting mechanism 13 are both connected to the vehicle frame 10 and are arranged around the groove 100.

[0033] The tank body clamping mechanism 12 is arranged on opposite sides of the groove 100 for clamping the tank body 2. Specifically, the tank body clamping mechanism 12 is arranged in the guide groove 101 of the frame 10. The tank body clamping mechanism 12 can adopt a telescopic cylinder, such as an air cylinder, an oil cylinder, etc. A pair of telescopic cylinders are provided for clamping from both sides or from top to bottom.

[0034] The tank lifting mechanism 13 is connected to the frame 10 between the tank clamping mechanisms 12 on both sides, that is, the frame 10 at the bottom of the groove 100, and is used to connect with the tank body 2 to control its tipping. The tank lifting mechanism 13 can also be a telescopic cylinder, such as a gas cylinder, an oil cylinder, etc. One end of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the frame 10, and the other end is used to connect with the tank body 2.

[0035] The steering mechanism 14 and the frame lifting mechanism 11 are both connected to the bottom of the frame 10. Together, these three components, along with the tires, form a running assembly. Specifically, the steering mechanism 14 is connected to the bottom of the frame 10, the frame lifting mechanism 11 is connected to the steering mechanism 14, and the wheels 17 are connected to the frame lifting mechanism 14. The steering mechanism 14 can drive the entire frame lifting mechanism 11 and wheels 17 to steer. The frame lifting mechanism 11 is used to elevate the frame 10 and can utilize a lifting suspension. The wheels 17 are dual-tire and mounted side by side. Multiple sets of running assemblies are provided along the front-to-back direction of the frame 10, and two sets are provided along the left-to-right direction of the frame 10.

[0036] The cab 15 is connected to one end of the vehicle frame 10, and the power mechanism 16 is connected to the vehicle frame 10 below the cab 15 to provide power to various mechanisms. In addition, a tank monitoring system can be installed in the cab 15. The remote monitoring device in the cab 15 can adjust the outflow position of the tank to ensure the safety of personnel.

[0037] The tank body 2 includes a tank body 20, a tank body rotation mechanism 21, and a connection portion 22. The tank body rotation mechanism 21 is connected to opposite sides of the tank body 2, allowing the tank body 20 to rotate relative to the tank body rotation mechanism 21. The tank body rotation mechanism 21 can use a rotating shaft. The tank body clamping mechanism 12 clamps the tank body rotation mechanism 21 from both sides or from top to bottom, not only securing the tank body 2 but also fine-tuning the center of gravity of the tank body 2 to ensure uniform force on the vehicle frame 10. The connection portion 22 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 20 for connection to the tank body lifting mechanism 13.

[0038] The transport device of this embodiment has multiple states: tank transport, tank loading, and tank tipping. When the tank is transported: the tank body 20 is located in the groove 100, the tank clamping mechanism 12 tightens the tank rotation mechanism 21, and the extension direction of the wheel 17 axis is consistent with the opening direction of the groove 100; when the tank is loaded, the extension direction of the wheel 17 axis is perpendicular to the opening direction of the groove 10; when the tank is tipped: the tank lifting mechanism 13 lifts the bottom of the tank body 20, and at the same time, the frame lifting mechanism 11 located on one side of the tank lifting mechanism 13 rises, and / or the frame lifting mechanism 11 located on the other side of the tank lifting mechanism 13 descends.

[0039] The working process of this embodiment is described in detail below:

[0040] When the tank body 2 needs to be transported, the tank body 2 is placed on a flat surface, the frame lifting mechanism 11 is lowered, so that the opening of the groove 100 on the frame 10 is facing the tank body 2, the steering mechanism 14 is turned 90 degrees, and the device travels horizontally, with the guide groove 101 on the frame 10 facing the tank body rotating mechanism 21, so that the tank body rotating mechanism 21 enters the guide groove 101. When the tank body 2 is in place in the guide groove 101, the tank body clamping mechanism 12 clamps the tank body rotating mechanism 21, thereby fixing the tank body 2, the frame lifting mechanism 11 is raised, the steering mechanism 14 is turned 90 degrees, and the device can travel as a whole vehicle. Figure 4-8 As shown;

[0041] When the liquid in the tank body 2 needs to be poured out, the steering mechanism 14 turns 90 degrees, the tank body lifting mechanism 13 contracts, the tank body rotating mechanism 21 turns, the tank body 20 rotates slowly, and then the frame lifting mechanism 11 on one side of the tank body lifting mechanism 13 rises, while the frame lifting mechanism 11 on the other side of the tank body lifting mechanism 13 falls, and the liquid in the tank body 20 can slowly flow out. Figure 9 、 10 shown.

[0042] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those familiar with the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications based on the spirit of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
