On the basis of the assembling mechanism, the protection safety height is increased through a protection rod, and the operation safety is improved; and when the diesel storage tank is transferred and transported, the assembly mechanism is used for driving the protective rods to turn over, and the protective rods can be turned over to the horizontal position from the vertical position, so that the overall height of the guardrail is rapidly reduced, and smooth transportation of the diesel storage tank is facilitated.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of diesel storage tank safety protection technology, and in particular to a detachable and foldable guardrail for diesel storage tanks. Background Technology

[0002] Diesel storage tanks are essential equipment in oil drilling operations. These tanks are placed at the drilling site to store diesel fuel to power multiple high-power diesel engines (such as the 12V190 model) and generator sets. Each of these diesel engines, operating at full load daily, consumes 2-4 tons of fuel and generates 1000 kW of power. Each drilling rig is equipped with up to six high-power diesel engines and generator sets of various models, with a total installed power of approximately 3800 kW to 5000 kW. Without diesel storage tanks, frequent fuel truck transport would be necessary, hence their widespread use at oil drilling sites. Small diesel storage tanks typically have a capacity of less than 30,000 liters, while large diesel storage tanks, with dimensions of 8.5*2.2*2.2m, have a capacity of over 30,000 liters.

[0003] As per the instruction manual Figure 1-2 As shown, during the manufacturing process, a perimeter fence is installed around the top of the diesel storage tank. This fence includes vertical support rods mounted on the tank and horizontal bars connected to these support rods. The overall height of the fence is determined by the vertical support rods, which are typically set at around 20cm. This prevents tools and other equipment from falling from the top of the tank during actual use. However, a lower fence does not provide adequate safety protection for operators working on top of the tank. If the fence were set to a safe height, it would pose a safety hazard during tank transfer and transportation. Therefore, the current design uses a fence of approximately 20cm, which still presents a safety risk for operators working on top of the tank. Furthermore, if... Figure 3 As shown, if space is limited at the work site, and to avoid the difficulty of fabricating a hardened base for the diesel storage tank again, a small diesel storage tank will be placed on top of the main diesel storage tank to increase the on-site fuel storage capacity. Simultaneously, the small tank on top can utilize the height difference to allow fuel to flow to the diesel engine fuel line under gravity. However, working on top of the small diesel storage tank further increases the working height, thereby increasing the safety risks of the operation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application aims to provide a detachable and foldable guardrail for diesel storage tanks. This guardrail is detachably mounted on the horizontal bar of the enclosure and extends upward to a certain safe height, thereby ensuring safety when working on diesel storage tanks and small diesel storage tanks placed on top. At the same time, the guardrail can be flipped to a horizontal state during transportation, thus facilitating the transportation of diesel storage tanks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a detachable and foldable guardrail for a diesel storage tank, wherein a fence is provided around the top of the diesel storage tank, the fence including vertical support rods installed on the diesel storage tank and horizontal rods connected to multiple vertical support rods, characterized in that: the guardrail is detachably assembled on the horizontal rods and extends upward to a certain safe height, the guardrail including an assembly mechanism connected to the horizontal rods and a protective rod that can be flipped and connected to the assembly mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the assembly mechanism includes a sleeve connected to a horizontal rod, with symmetrical oblique slots on the side wall of the sleeve, the protective rod being connected to the oblique slots, and an opening on one side wall of the sleeve for the protective rod to flip to a horizontal position, and a connecting member connected to the horizontal rod at the bottom of the sleeve.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting member is a U-shaped connecting plate that is looped around the horizontal bar and connected to the sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting member includes a slot formed at the bottom of the sleeve and fitted onto the horizontal rod, and a threaded rod that connects the horizontal rod to the sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the protective rod is a U-shaped structure connected to the adjacent sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, the protective rod is connected to each sleeve, and a connecting rope is threaded between adjacent protective rods.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this application are: the guardrail is assembled on the existing enclosure of the diesel storage tank by the assembly mechanism, avoiding the increased cost and time required for reconstruction, and avoiding the safety risks of flammability during welding operations between the enclosure and the top surface of the diesel storage tank, thereby solving the problems of high cost, long cycle and significant safety risks associated with reconstruction.

[0012] Based on the assembly mechanism, the safety height is increased by using guardrails to improve operational safety. When transferring diesel storage tanks, the assembly mechanism is used to drive the guardrails to flip from a vertical position to a horizontal position, thereby quickly reducing the overall height of the guardrail and facilitating the smooth transportation of diesel storage tanks.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions of this application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] See attached document Figures 1-13 The illustration shows a detachable and foldable guardrail for a diesel storage tank. The tank has a perimeter fencing 1 around its top. The fencing 1 includes vertical support rods 11 mounted on the tank and horizontal bars 12 connected to the vertical support rods 11. The overall height of the fencing is determined by the vertical support rods 11, which are typically set at around 20cm to prevent tools and other equipment from falling from the top of the tank during actual use. To further enhance safety for operators, this application provides a prefabricated and foldable guardrail, such as... Figure 7 , 12 As shown, the guardrail is detachably mounted on the horizontal bar 12 and extends upward to a certain safe height, thereby ensuring safety when working on diesel storage tanks and small diesel storage tanks placed on top. The guardrail includes an assembly mechanism connected to the horizontal bar 12, and a reversible protective bar 2 connected to the assembly mechanism.

[0034] The assembly mechanism is used to assemble the guardrail onto the existing enclosure 1 of the diesel storage tank, avoiding the increased costs and time required for modification, and eliminating the flammability risks associated with welding between the enclosure 1 and the top of the diesel storage tank. Therefore, the assembly mechanism allows for assembly onto the existing enclosure 1, solving the problems of high cost, long cycle, and significant safety risks associated with modification. Based on the assembly mechanism, the protective rod 2 increases the safety height, improving operational safety. During the transfer and transportation of the diesel storage tank, the assembly mechanism drives the protective rod 2 to flip from a vertical position to a horizontal position, quickly reducing the overall height of the guardrail and facilitating the smooth transportation of the diesel storage tank.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the assembly mechanism includes a sleeve 3 connected to the horizontal rod 12. symmetrical oblique slots 3a are formed on the side wall of the sleeve 3. The protective rod 2 is connected to these oblique slots 3a. An opening 3b is also formed on one side wall of the sleeve 3 to flip the protective rod 2 to a horizontal position. The disassembly and assembly structure of this assembly mechanism is as follows: Figure 5As shown, the protective rod 2 is connected to the inclined slot 3a of the sleeve 3 via connecting bolts, and the protective rod 2 can move obliquely up and down along the inclined slot 3a. When the protective rod 2 moves down, it is embedded in the sleeve 3 (both the protective rod 2 and the sleeve 3 are preferably square tubes), and the side wall of the sleeve 3 restricts the rotation of the protective rod 2, positioning the protective rod 2 in a vertical protective state; and when the diesel storage tank needs to be transported, such as Figure 6 As shown, the lifting guard rod 2 slides upward in the oblique slot 3a. After being raised to a certain height, the guard rod 2 can be flipped towards the opening 3b on the side wall of the sleeve 3, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the guard rod 2 is inserted into the opening 3b and flipped to a horizontal position to lower its protective height, allowing for the smooth transportation of the diesel storage tank.

[0036] To facilitate the smooth connection between the above structure (sleeve 3) and the horizontal rod 12, a connecting member for connection with the horizontal rod 12 is also provided at the bottom of the sleeve 3. This connecting member specifically includes the following embodiments:

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the connecting component is a U-shaped connecting plate 4 that loops around the horizontal bar 12 and connects to the sleeve 3. During assembly, the bottom end of the sleeve 3 is placed against the top surface of the horizontal bar 12, and then the U-shaped connecting plate 4 is used to loop around the horizontal bar 12 from the bottom. Then, the two side walls of the U-shaped connecting plate 4 overlap with the side walls of the sleeve 3 at a certain height, and a connecting bolt is inserted at this part to assemble the guardrail onto the fence 1.

[0039] If the width of the horizontal bars 12 of the enclosure 1 of different diesel storage tanks is different, then as follows Figure 9-10 As shown, the sidewall of the U-shaped connecting plate 4 can be configured as a Z-shaped structure that fits the sidewall of the horizontal bar. Other components of the assembly structure remain unchanged. This Z-shaped U-shaped connecting plate can preferably be rapidly manufactured by mechanical bending, enabling it to adapt to the horizontal bar 12 and connect smoothly with the sleeve 3. Figure 10 The state shown improves the applicability of the guardrail assembly.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] like Figure 11 As shown, if the horizontal rod 12 is a vertical, narrow structure, the connecting component includes a slot 3c opened at the bottom of the sleeve 3 and fitted onto the horizontal rod 12, and a threaded rod 5 that connects the horizontal rod 12 and the sleeve 3. During assembly, the sleeve 3 can be directly fitted onto the horizontal rod 12 through the slot 3c, and a through hole is made on the horizontal rod 12 using a hand drill according to the position of the sleeve 3 (hand drilling does not involve an open flame compared to welding, making it safer, so holes can be made on the horizontal rod 12), and then assembly is achieved by inserting the connecting threaded rod.

[0042] Since diesel storage tanks have a certain width, in order to achieve overall protection within their width, based on the above assembly, this application also provides the following embodiments:

[0043] Example 3

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the protective rod 2 is a U-shaped structure that connects to the adjacent sleeve 3. This U-shaped protective rod 2 can be simultaneously connected to adjacent assembled sleeves 3, utilizing the horizontal width of the protective rod 2 to achieve protection. The overall assembled structure is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, this can be applied to embodiments 1-2 above. To further prevent the sleeve 3 of embodiment 1 from sliding on the horizontal rod 12, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, safety ropes are also tied to the guardrails 2 on the side to prevent the guardrail from sliding as a whole. Adjacent guardrails 2 can be connected by bolts to form an integral structure.

[0045] Example 4

[0046] like Figure 12 As shown, when the guard rod 2 is a single straight tube structure, after connecting the guard rod 2 to each sleeve 3, a connecting rope 6 (preferably a steel wire rope) is threaded between adjacent guard rods 2, and the outer end of the connecting rope 6 is connected via a... Figure 13 The hook sleeve 8 shown is inserted and connected by clamping screw 81. During later transportation, the connecting rope 6 can be pulled out and each assembly mechanism can be disassembled, packaged and transported. It can be applied in the above embodiments 1-2.

[0047] The principle of this application is as follows: When assembling guardrails on the existing diesel storage tank enclosure 1, the sleeve 3 is first connected to the horizontal bar 12 of the enclosure 1 via a clamp or a U-shaped connecting plate 4. Then, a protective rod 2 is assembled on a single sleeve 3, and multiple protective rods 2 are connected by connecting ropes 6; or the U-shaped protective rod 2 is connected to an adjacent sleeve 3. During protection, the bottom end of the protective rod 2 is inserted into the sleeve 3, and the side wall of the sleeve 3 is used to limit the protective rod 2, keeping it in a vertical protective state. When the diesel storage tank needs to be transported, the protective rod 2 is lifted and flipped to a horizontal state through the opening 3b on the side wall of the sleeve 3, thus allowing the diesel storage tank to be transported.

[0048] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application. Various changes and modifications may be made to this application without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
