Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of production auxiliary equipment, and in particular, it relates to a raw material buffer tank. Background Technology

[0002] Buffer tanks are mainly used in various systems to buffer pressure fluctuations and make the system work more smoothly. Isooctane is usually stored and regulated in buffer tanks. When isooctane is stored in a buffer tank, it will separate into layers. To improve the quality of isooctane, stirring is usually used to prevent it from separating into layers. However, the stirring position is not easy to adjust and cannot meet the stirring requirements of isooctane, resulting in inconsistent isooctane concentration and reducing the quality of isooctane.

[0003] A search revealed a design for a surface cleaning device for a raw material gas buffer tank (publication number CN220678868U). This device includes a tank body, a support leg fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body, a support plate fixedly connected to the right side of the support leg, a motor fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, a reciprocating screw fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a fixed plate movably connected to the top of the reciprocating screw via a bearing, a moving block threaded onto the surface of the tank body on the left side of the fixed plate, a cleaning ring fixedly connected to the left side of the moving block, a cleaning ring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning ring, and a reinforcing plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate. This invention utilizes a cleaning assembly to clean the surface of the buffer tank, preventing debris from corroding the tank and improving its service life. However, this buffer tank does not consider the need to stir stratified isooctane, making it difficult to adjust the stirring position of the stirring plate to suit the stirring requirements of isooctane, resulting in inconsistent isooctane concentrations and reduced isooctane quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a raw material buffer tank to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a raw material buffer tank, comprising a buffer tank body for storing isooctane, an electric push rod embedded in the side of the buffer tank body, a fixed bearing interference fit at the moving end of the electric push rod, a fixed plate fixedly connected to the outer ring of the fixed bearing, a connecting plate rotatably connected to the top and bottom surfaces of the fixed plate via a pin, a stirring plate for stirring and stratifying isooctane rotatably connected to the end of the connecting plate away from the fixed plate via a pin, limit plates welded to both ends of the stirring plate, the side of the limit plate away from the stirring plate slidingly rubbing against the inner wall of the buffer tank body, grooves opened on the sides of the two right limit plates, rotating plates slidably connected to the inner walls of the grooves of the two limit plates, the sides of the rotating plates rotatingly rubbing against the inner wall of the buffer tank body.

[0006] Preferably, the outer curved surface of the buffer tank is equipped with an inlet and an outlet, and the output shaft of a rotary motor is welded to the side of the rotating plate away from the limiting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the fixed end of the rotary motor is detachably connected to the buffer tank by bolts, and a support plate is embedded and fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the buffer tank.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom surface of the support plate is provided with a base plate, and the top two ends of the base plate are fixedly connected with limit blocks.

[0009] Preferably, a rotating block is embedded in the side of the limiting block and rotated, and the two rotating blocks are welded to the support plate on adjacent sides.

[0010] Preferably, the support plate has a through groove on its side, and a movable rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the through groove.

[0011] Preferably, L-shaped movable plates are welded to both ends of the movable rod, and the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder is welded to the inner top wall of the movable plate.

[0012] Preferably, the fixed ends of the two hydraulic cylinders are mounted on the top surface of the base plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] This raw material buffer tank has an inlet and an outlet for introducing and removing isooctane from its interior. Since isooctane is easily separated into layers when stored inside the buffer tank, the density of the upper and lower layers differs, resulting in inconsistent quality of the extracted isooctane and a decrease in overall quality. A rotary motor provides power, causing the output shaft to rotate and drive two stirring plates. During this process, two stirring plates agitate the isooctane inside the buffer tank, ensuring even distribution. Simultaneously, an electric push rod provides power, and through the connection of a fixed plate and two connecting plates, adjusts the distance between the two stirring plates, thereby controlling their stirring position, enhancing the stirring effect, and improving the quality of the isooctane.

[0015] The raw material buffer tank is equipped with a support plate that provides support and fixation for the tank body. A limiting block fixes the position of the rotating block, allowing the support plate to rotate around the two rotating blocks as axes. Two hydraulic cylinders provide power, causing the moving end of the hydraulic cylinder to move the moving plate longitudinally, which in turn moves the movable rod longitudinally. The movable rod rotates and moves relative to the support plate along the through groove, which in turn pushes the support plate to rotate around the rotating blocks as axes. During the transmission process, the buffer tank body is tilted, which enhances the stirring effect of isooctane inside the buffer tank body and prevents the isooctane from stratifying.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, the directions of up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside involved in this document are based on the directions of up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside shown in the figures of the present invention, and are explained here together.

[0027] The connection method can be bonding, welding, bolt connection, etc., which shall be based on actual needs.

[0028] To address the issue of inconsistent isooctane concentrations due to the difficulty in adjusting the stirring position during use of the raw material buffer tank, which leads to isooctane stratification and reduces its quality, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1 to 6 The main structure of the device is as follows: a buffer tank 1 for storing isooctane. The buffer tank 1 is used to store and regulate isooctane. The buffer tank is mainly used to buffer pressure fluctuations in various systems, making the system work more smoothly. The buffering performance of the buffer tank is mainly achieved by compressing the compressed air in the tank. The outer curved surface of the buffer tank 1 is equipped with an inlet 10 and an outlet 11. The inlet 10 and outlet 11 are used to introduce and export isooctane into and out of the buffer tank 1, respectively. At the same time, both the inlet 10 and outlet 11 are equipped with electromagnetic ball valves, which control the opening and closing of the inlet 10 and outlet 11. An electric push rod 2 is embedded in the side of the buffer tank 1.

[0029] A through groove is provided on the side of the buffer tank 1. The inner wall of the through groove of the buffer tank 1 is detachably connected to the fixed end of the electric push rod 2 by bolts. The connection between the electric push rod 2 and the buffer tank 1 is sealed. The moving end of the electric push rod 2 is interference-fitted with a fixed bearing 3. A fixed plate 4 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the fixed bearing 3. The fixed bearing 3 provides the condition for relative rotation between the fixed plate 4 and the moving end of the electric push rod 2. The top and bottom surfaces of the fixed plate 4 are rotatably connected to a connecting plate 5 by a pin, realizing relative rotation between the two connecting plates 5 and one fixed plate 4. The connecting plate 5 is away from the fixed plate. One end of plate 4 is rotatably connected to a stirring plate 6 for stirring and separating isooctane via a pin. When isooctane is stored in the buffer tank 1 for a long time, the isooctane will separate into its original form, resulting in a difference in density between the upper and lower liquid surfaces of the isooctane, causing a layering phenomenon and reducing the quality of isooctane. Power is provided by an electric push rod 2, and the stirring distance between the two stirring plates 6 is adjusted during the transmission process to increase the stirring range of the stirring plates 6 on the isooctane stored in the buffer tank 1, prevent the isooctane from separating when stored in the buffer tank 1, and thus improve the quality of isooctane.

[0030] Limiting plates 7 are welded to both ends of the stirring plate 6. The side of the limiting plate 7 away from the stirring plate 6 slides and rubs against the inner wall of the buffer tank 1. The four limiting plates 7 enhance the relative longitudinal positional stability of the two stirring plates 6. The two right limiting plates 7 have grooves on their sides. Rotating plates 8 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the grooves of the two limiting plates 7. The side of the rotating plates 8 rotates and rubs against the inner wall of the buffer tank 1. The rotating plates 8 provide a fixing effect on the movement path of the two right limiting plates 7, further enhancing the positional stability of the stirring plate 6.

[0031] The output shaft of a rotary motor 9 is welded to the side of the rotating plate 8 away from the limiting plate 7. The fixed end of the rotary motor 9 is detachably connected to the buffer tank 1 by bolts. The rotary motor 9 provides power, causing the output shaft of the rotary motor 9 to rotate and drive the rotating plate 8 to rotate. During the transmission process, the two stirring plates 6 rotate and provide a stirring effect on the isooctane stored inside the buffer tank 1. A support plate 12 is embedded and fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the buffer tank 1. A groove is opened on the top surface of the support plate 12. The inner wall of the groove of the support plate 12 is fixedly connected to the buffer tank 1. The support plate 12 provides support and fixation for the buffer tank 1. A base plate 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the support plate 12. Limiting blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the top two ends of the base plate 13. Rotating blocks 15 are rotatably connected to the side of the limiting blocks 14.

[0032] The limiting block 14 is set to fix the rotation position of the rotating block 15. The two rotating blocks 15 are welded to the adjacent sides of the support plate 12, so that the support plate 12 rotates around the two rotating blocks 15 as the axis. The side of the support plate 12 is provided with a through groove. The inner wall of the through groove of the support plate 12 is movably connected to the movable rod 16, so that the movable rod 16 rotates and moves relative to the inner wall of the through groove of the support plate 12. The two ends of the movable rod 16 are welded to the L-shaped movable plate 17. The inner top wall of the movable plate 17 is welded to the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder 18. The fixed ends of the two hydraulic cylinders 18 are installed on the top surface of the base plate 13. The fixed ends of the two hydraulic cylinders 18 are detachably connected to the top surface of the base plate 13 by bolts, so that the two hydraulic cylinders 18 provide power. Under the connection provided by the movable plate 17, the movable rod 16 moves longitudinally. During the transmission process, the support plate 12 tilts, so that the buffer tank 1 tilts, which enhances the stirring effect of the isooctane stored in the buffer tank 1, prevents the isooctane from stratifying, and improves the quality of isooctane.

[0033] The electric push rod 2, rotary motor 9, and hydraulic cylinder 18 are all existing technologies. Their working principles, dimensions, and models are irrelevant to the function of this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of this utility model is controlled by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0034] Working principle

[0035] When using this raw material buffer tank, the user introduces and discharges isooctane into and out of the buffer tank 1 through the inlet 10 and outlet 11, respectively. The rotary motor 9 is started, and the output shaft of the rotary motor 9 rotates, driving the rotary plate 8 to rotate. During the transmission process, the two stirring plates 6 rotate and stir the isooctane. The electric push rod 2 is started, and the moving end of the electric push rod 2 moves. With the connection of a fixed plate 4 and two connecting plates 5, the distance between the two stirring plates 6 is adjusted to increase the stirring range, and the right limit plate 7 moves along the path of the rotary plate 8.

[0036] When the two hydraulic cylinders 18 are activated, the moving end of the hydraulic cylinder 18 moves and drives the moving plate 17 to move longitudinally, which in turn drives the movable rod 16 to rotate and move relative to each other along the inner wall of the through groove of the support plate 12, so that the support plate 12 rotates around the two rotating blocks 15 as the axis, causing the buffer tank 1 located on the top surface of the support plate 12 to tilt.
