[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application.

[0026] In the description of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0027] Referring to Figures 2-4 As shown in FIG. 1, a roll molding inner liner plug for fire extinguisher tank 3 includes:

[0028] The plug body 1 includes a first cylindrical part 11, a second cylindrical part 12, an octagonal head part 13, and a groove 14. When the plug is installed, the lower end face of the octagonal head part 13 is attached to the end face of the tank body opening 31, and the two are attached to facilitate positioning of the thickness of the plastic lining part of the tank body opening 31. The diameter of the second cylindrical part 12 is smaller than the diameter of the first cylindrical part 11, and the diameter of the second cylindrical part 12 is also smaller than the diameter of the internal thread of the tank body opening 31, so as to ensure that the plug can be normally assembled to the tank body opening 31. The first cylindrical part 11 is located on the side of the second cylindrical part 12 away from the octagonal head part 13. The bottom of the groove 14 is provided with a mounting hole. The side of the first cylindrical part 11 is provided with external threads for connecting with the tank body opening 31. The side of the second cylindrical part 12 is provided with at least two air vents 121, which communicate with the groove 14. When the tank body 3 is in a heated rotating state and the plastic powder begins to melt and flow, the air trapped between the bottom of the plug and the gap between the bottom of the internal thread of the tank body opening 31 can flow along the gap between the threaded connection and be discharged to the outside through the air vents 121 on the second cylindrical part 12. At least two air vents 121 are provided to avoid the accumulation of impurities in a single air vent 121 during long-term use, which can cause the air venting effect to decrease if not checked in time, affecting the rotational molding quality. The probability of both air vents 121 being blocked at the same time is relatively small. The height of the first cylindrical part 11 is affected by the height of the tank body opening 31. The height of the first cylindrical part is such that the length of the external threads can normally fix the plug to the tank body opening 31.

[0029] There is also a vent pipe 2 which is detachably arranged in the mounting hole. The length of the vent pipe 2 passing through the mounting hole is greater than the thickness of the tank body 3 that needs to be lined with plastic, and the vent pipe 2 can be replaced to ensure that the gas in the tank body 3 can be discharged during rotational molding.

[0030] Specifically, to facilitate the installation of the vent pipe 2 and position the length of the vent pipe 2 passing through the mounting hole, a first flange 21 is arranged on the side of the vent pipe 2 to limit the length of the vent pipe 2 passing through the mounting hole. After the rotational molding is completed, the plug needs to be rotated and pulled out, and the first flange 21 can also prevent the vent pipe 2 from falling off the mounting hole during disassembly.

[0031] Specifically, a second flange 22 is arranged on the inner side of the vent pipe 2 close to the lower end face, and a third flange 23 is arranged at a distance from the second flange 22. Filter cotton 24 is filled between the second flange 22 and the third flange 23. By arranging filter cotton on the inner side of the vent pipe 2, impurities can be prevented from entering the inside of the tank body 3 or plastic powder can be prevented from being poured out during rotational molding. The second flange 22 and the third flange 23 can limit the position of the filter cotton, which is not easy to fall out. The filter cotton can be replaced according to actual use.

[0032] Specifically, the filter screen 25 is arranged on the side of the third boss 23 close to the second boss 22, so that the filter cotton can be prevented from being blown out by the heated and expanded gas in the tank body 3.

[0033] Specifically, the vent pipe 2 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the commonly used inner lining material is PP or PE. The surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene is highly non-stick, and most substances are difficult to adhere to the surface. The non-stick property hinders the plastic lining from being easily bonded, so that the plug is convenient to disassemble.

[0034] Specifically, the plug body 1 is made of brass. The brass has good casting and processing performance, and can be processed into a plug with precise shape through various processing methods. Whether through turning, milling or casting process, the plug meeting the requirements can be produced relatively easily.

[0035] The above only describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be variously changed and modified. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
