[0029] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The transport support of the first embodiment of the present invention, which enables storage tanks to quickly enter and exit a standard container, includes: a support portion 100, fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the storage tank cylinder 410. When the storage tank 400 is placed flat, the lower surface of the support portion 100 is lower than or flush with the lowest point of the outer surface of the storage tank cylinder 410; a connecting portion 200, provided on the supporting portion 100, and the connecting portion 200 includes a load-bearing wheel 210; an adjusting mechanism 300, provided on the connecting portion 200, and the adjusting mechanism 300 can adjust the lowest point of the load-bearing wheel 210 to be lower than or higher than the lower surface of the supporting portion 100.

[0031] The support part 100 is mounted on the outer surface of the tank cylinder 410, and the connecting part 200 with the load-bearing wheel 210 is mounted on the support part 100. When the storage tank 400 is ready to be loaded into the container, the adjusting mechanism 300 is adjusted so that the load-bearing wheel 210 is lower than the support part 100 and contacts the ground. The adjusting mechanism 300 is continued to be adjusted, and the support part 100 drives the storage tank 400 connected thereto to continue to move away from the load-bearing wheel 210 and the ground, so that the storage tank 400 is suspended in the air, with only the load-bearing wheel 210 contacting the ground. At this time, the storage tank 400 can be easily pushed into the container. After the tank 400 enters the container, the adjusting mechanism 300 is adjusted so that the support part 100 and the load-bearing wheel 210 gradually approach each other, thereby driving the storage tank 400 to move downward, so that the storage tank 400 is placed on the container floor. The support part 100 also contacts the container floor at the same time, thereby increasing the friction between the storage tank 400 and the container floor, ensuring the stability of the storage tank 400 during transportation. Finally, the tank 400 can be fixed in a conventional manner. After arriving at the destination, the above steps are reversed to quickly and safely push the storage tank 400 out of the container and place it on the ground.

[0032] In certain embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 The support portion 100 includes a pad 110 and a support plate 120 . One side of the pad 110 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the tank cylinder 410 , and the support plate 120 is mounted on the other side of the pad 110 to meet the installation requirements of the connecting portion 200 .

[0033] Specifically, in some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the pad 110 is a plate-type structure that is adapted to the shape of the outer surface of the tank cylinder 410. One side is welded and fixed to the tank cylinder 410, and the other side is welded and fixed to the support plate 120. The pad 110 increases the contact area between the entire device and the tank cylinder 410, so that when the tank 400 is raised relative to the ground, no deformation will occur at this location. During transportation, the support plate 120 and the tank 400 contact the container bottom plate together, and the presence of the support plate 120 increases the friction between the tank 400 and the container bottom plate, thereby ensuring the stability of the tank 400 during transportation.

[0034] In certain embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 The bottom of the support plate 120 is a support flat foot, and on both sides of the support flat foot are respectively provided with support arms extending upward and gradually expanding outward from bottom to top, and the upper ends of the support arms are respectively connected to the pad 110. The structural design of larger top and smaller bottom makes the storage tank 400 more stable when placed.

[0035] Specifically, in some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the two support arms of the support plate 120 are configured to be one long and one short to adapt to the cylindrical outer surface of the storage tank barrel 410 .

[0036] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the two support arms of the support plate 120 are arranged in parallel, which can also achieve the purpose of supporting the storage tank 400.

[0037] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the support plate 120 support arms can be provided with 3, 4, or more support arms to adapt to storage tanks 400 of different sizes and weights.

[0038] In certain embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 The connecting portion 200 further includes a load-bearing wheel support frame 220 and a connecting member 230. The load-bearing wheel support frame 220 is detachably connected to the load-bearing wheel 210, and the load-bearing wheel 210 is rotatably disposed within the load-bearing wheel support frame 220. One end of the connecting member 230 is connected to the supporting portion 100, and the other end is connected to the load-bearing wheel support frame 220 via an adjustment mechanism 300. Adjusting the adjustment mechanism 300 can move the connecting member 230 away from or closer to the load-bearing wheel support frame 220, further enabling the storage tank body 410 to be lifted off or returned to the ground.

[0039] Specifically, the connecting member 230 is composed of two steel plates with a T-shaped side. One steel plate is connected to the support part 100, and the other steel plate is connected to the load-bearing wheel support frame 220 through the adjustment mechanism 300. Two ribs are provided at the corners of the connecting member 230 to increase the structural strength.

[0040] It can be understood that in some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the connecting member 230 can be formed by bending a steel plate, with the side being L-shaped and ribs provided at the corners, which can also achieve the functions that the connecting member 230 should have.

[0041] In certain embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1 The load-bearing wheel support frame 220 includes a frame body 221 and a wheel rod 222. The frame body 221 is U-shaped as a whole, with holes on both sides, and the load-bearing wheel 210 is installed in the middle. The wheel rod 222 passes through the hole of the frame body 221 and the center point of the load-bearing wheel 210 at the same time. When pushing the storage tank 400, the load-bearing wheel 210 will rotate with the wheel rod 222 as the rotation center.

[0042] Specifically, threads are provided at both ends of the wheel rod 222, and nuts can be used to fix the wheel rod 222 on the frame 221. A bearing is provided in the middle of the load-bearing wheel 210, and the wheel rod 222 passes through the bearing.

[0043] In certain embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 1The adjustment mechanism 300 includes an adjustment rod 310 and a fixed end 320. One end of the adjustment rod 310 is connected to the load-bearing wheel support frame 220, and the other end is connected to the fixed end 320. The adjustment rod 310 is movable relative to the fixed end 320. When the adjustment rod 310 moves relative to the fixed end 320, the load-bearing wheel support frame 220 moves relative to the connecting member 230, ultimately causing the storage tank body 410 to move up and down relative to the ground, thereby achieving the purpose of replacing the sliding friction of the storage tank 400 with the rolling friction of the load-bearing wheel 210.

[0044] In certain embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the fixed end portion 320 is fixedly mounted on the connector 230, and the adjusting rod 310 and the fixed end portion 320 are screw-coupled. The fixed end portion 320 is internally threaded, and the adjusting rod 310 is externally threaded. When the adjusting rod 310 rotates relative to the fixed end portion 320, the rotational motion is converted into up and down motion of the adjusting rod 310, thereby causing the load-bearing wheel 210 to move away from or toward the storage tank body 410, and accordingly, the storage tank 400 will leave the ground or return to the ground.

[0045] Specifically, in some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the load-bearing wheel support frame 220 is a universal wheel support frame structure in the prior art, so that the load-bearing wheel 210 can achieve a steering function.

[0046] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the adjusting rod 310 and the fixed end 320 may also be hydraulic structures, and the purpose of moving the adjusting rod 310 relative to the fixed end 320 can also be achieved by hydraulically driving the end of the adjusting rod 310 away from or close to the fixed end 320.

[0047] In certain embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 3 The fixed end 320 includes an upper adjusting nut 321 and a lower adjusting nut 322 mounted on the adjusting rod 310. A through hole is formed on the surface of the connecting member 230, through which the adjusting rod 310 passes. The upper adjusting nut 321 and the lower adjusting nut 322 respectively abut against the upper and lower surfaces of the connecting member 230. When the storage tank 400 needs to be raised, the upper adjusting nut 321 is first rotated to move it away from the connecting member 230. Then, a tool is used to rotate the lower adjusting nut 322 to move it away from the load-bearing wheel 210. Since the load-bearing wheel 210 is pressed against the ground, the reaction force forces the lower adjusting nut 322 to move the connecting plate 230 upward, thereby raising the storage tank 400. Finally, the upper adjusting nut 321 is rotated to tighten the connecting member 230, thereby firmly connecting the transport bracket to the storage tank 400 and safely and smoothly moving the storage tank 400.

[0048] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the upper adjusting nut 321 and the lower adjusting nut 322 can be provided in multiple groups, so that the entire device can bear a greater impact force and a greater load, and be safer and more stable.

[0049] In certain embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 3 The support portion 100 is detachably connected to the connection portion 200. After the storage tank 400 is transported, the connection portion 200 can be removed and stored for installation at the next transport. This ensures the aesthetic appearance of the outer surface of the storage tank 400 and prevents the connection portion 200 from rusting, which would affect the rotation of the load-bearing wheels 210 and prevent the next transport.

[0050] Specifically, in some embodiments of the first aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion 200 and the supporting portion 100 are detachably connected by bolts.

[0051] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the storage tank of the second aspect embodiment of the present utility model, the storage tank 400 includes the transport support of the above embodiment.

[0052] In certain embodiments of the second aspect of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , further comprising: a reinforcement ring 420, which is a circular ring disposed on the inner surface of the tank body 410. The area affected by the reinforcement ring 420 includes the area corresponding to the outer surface of the tank body 410 where the support portion 100 is fixedly mounted. The reinforcement ring 420 is an L-shaped circular ring in longitudinal section. It is pre-welded to the inner surface of the tank body 410 during the manufacture of the tank 400 to increase the rigidity of the area and prevent the tank 400 from becoming unstable and deforming.

[0053] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0054] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
