Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil storage technology, and in particular to oil drums. Background Technology

[0002] A gasoline drum is a container used for storing and transporting gasoline. It safely holds gasoline, preventing leaks and facilitating the transfer and temporary storage of gasoline between different locations (such as gas stations, factories, and auto repair shops). However, existing gasoline drums, due to their metal body structure, make it difficult to measure the amount of gasoline remaining when using or transferring it, thus hindering the determination of the remaining gasoline level. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an oil drum in order to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An oil drum includes a sealed drum body; an installation plate is provided on the upper wall of the drum body, a vertical rocker arm is hinged to the lower side of the installation plate, a horizontal rocker arm is hinged to the lower end of the vertical rocker arm, and a float is connected to the end of the horizontal rocker arm; an oil dipstick is hinged to the upper side of the horizontal rocker arm near the vertical rocker arm, the upper end of the oil dipstick passes through the installation plate, and a through hole for the oil dipstick to pass through is provided in the middle of the installation plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the dipstick has a curved section near the end of the transverse swing arm.

[0007] Furthermore, a guide tube is provided on the lower side of the mounting plate. The guide tube corresponds to the through hole of the mounting plate and has the same inner diameter. The oil dipstick passes through the guide tube.

[0008] Furthermore, a fixing rod is provided on the lower side of the mounting plate, and the upper end of the vertical swing rod is hinged to the lower end of the fixing rod.

[0009] Furthermore, an external threaded cylinder is installed on the upper wall of the barrel, and an internal threaded cap is connected to the upper end of the external threaded cylinder by a thread.

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0029] Specific embodiments of the oil drum provided by this utility model:

[0030] Please see Figure 1-6 The oil drum includes a sealed drum body 1; the drum body 1 has a square horizontal cross-section and a volume that can be set to thirty to sixty gallons. Two casters 2 and four swivel casters 3 are installed at the lower end of the drum body 1. The casters 2 and swivel casters 3 support the drum body 1 on the ground, ensuring that the upper and lower walls are horizontal and the side walls are vertical. An inverted U-shaped handle 4 is installed on one side of the upper end of the drum body 1, with the upper part of the handle 4 bent at a certain angle away from the drum body 1.

[0031] An oil injection pipe 5 is connected to the upper wall of the barrel body 1. The lower end of the oil injection pipe 5 communicates with the interior of the barrel body 1. The outer side of the upper end of the oil injection pipe 5 has external threads. In some embodiments, a sealing cap with internal threads that matches the external threads of the oil injection pipe 5 is provided. A filter screen can be installed on the inner side of the upper part of the oil injection pipe 5.

[0032] An oil pump 6 is installed at the upper end of the barrel body 1. The oil pump 6 is hand-cranked, and the input end of the oil pump 6 is connected to an oil inlet pipe that extends to the bottom of the barrel body 1. The lower end of the oil inlet pipe is provided with an angled opening. In actual use, the output port of the hand-cranked oil pump 6 is generally interference-fitted with an oil outlet hose. A pipe rack 7 for placing the oil outlet hose is installed at the upper end of the barrel body 1. The pipe rack 7 is provided with two rows of pipe grooves to facilitate the placement of the coiled oil outlet hose.

[0033] The inner sides of the upper and lower walls of the barrel 1 are provided with reinforcing ribs 8. The reinforcing ribs 8 improve the strength of the barrel 1. The reinforcing ribs 8 are arranged in a cross shape and the cross section of the reinforcing ribs 8 is U-shaped, with the U-shaped opening facing the upper or lower wall of the barrel 1.

[0034] An mounting plate 9 is provided on the upper wall of the barrel body 1. Specifically, an external threaded cylinder 16 is fixedly inserted through the upper wall of the barrel body 1. The upper end of the external threaded cylinder 16 is connected to an internal threaded cover 17 by a thread. The external threaded cylinder 16 and the internal threaded cover 17 clamp the mounting plate 9 to fix the mounting plate 9. The mounting plate 9 can be removed by unscrewing the internal threaded cover 17.

[0035] The mounting plate 9 is a circular plate structure. The inner side of the upper end of the external threaded cylinder 16 is provided with an annular groove. The groove corresponds to the edge of the mounting plate 9 for the mounting plate 9 to be placed. One side of the mounting plate 9 is provided with a protrusion 91. The upper end of the external threaded cylinder 16 is provided with a notch 161 corresponding to the groove. The protrusion 91 extends into the notch 161 to achieve the function of rotation limit and prevent the mounting plate 9 from rotating.

[0036] A vertical swing rod 10 is hinged to the lower side of the mounting plate 9. Specifically, a fixing rod 15 is provided on the lower side of the mounting plate 9, and the upper end of the vertical swing rod 10 is hinged to the lower end of the fixing rod 15.

[0037] A horizontal swing arm 11 is hinged to the lower end of the vertical swing arm 10, and a float 12 is connected to the end of the horizontal swing arm 11. A dipstick 13 is hinged to the upper side of the horizontal swing arm 11 near the vertical swing arm 10. The dipstick 13 is a circular rod-shaped structure, and a scale strip can be set on the upper outer side of the dipstick 13 for more accurate understanding of the remaining gasoline level. In some other embodiments, the upper outer side of the dipstick 13 is set with different colors in sequence to make the remaining gasoline level more intuitive. The upper end of the dipstick 13 passes through the mounting plate 9, and the mounting plate 9 has a through hole in the middle for the upper part of the dipstick 13 to pass through. The inner diameter of the through hole of the mounting plate 9 and the inner diameter of the inner thread cap 17 are both larger than the outer diameter of the dipstick 13.

[0038] A vertical guide tube 14 is provided on the lower side of the mounting plate 9. The guide tube 14 corresponds to the through hole of the mounting plate 9 and has the same inner diameter. The oil dipstick 13 passes through the guide tube 14, which makes the oil dipstick 13 nearly vertical and prevents the oil dipstick 13 from being tilted.

[0039] As the amount of gasoline inside container 1 gradually decreases, the float 12 descends with the oil level, causing the end of the horizontal swing arm 11 to swing downwards, which in turn causes the vertical swing arm 10 to swing. The dipstick 13 moves downwards along the guide tube 14 as the horizontal swing arm 11 swings downwards. As the amount of gasoline in container 1 decreases, the extension length of the dipstick 13 becomes smaller, thus determining the amount of gasoline inside container 1. Because the lower hinged part of the dipstick 13 is close to the end of the horizontal swing arm 11 near the vertical swing arm 10, the range of rise and fall of the dipstick 13 is smaller than the range of rise and fall of the oil level, avoiding interference caused by the dipstick 13 extending too far.

[0040] The dipstick 13 has a curved section 131 at the end near the transverse rocker arm 11. In this embodiment, the curved section 131 is V-shaped. Compared with a simple straight rod structure, the dipstick 13 with the curved section 131 can better resist external forces in all directions. For example, when the dipstick 13 moves through the guide tube 14 and is subjected to lateral forces from the transverse rocker arm 11 and the vertical rocker arm 10, the V-shaped curved section 131 can disperse these forces, making the dipstick 13 less prone to bending deformation.

[0041] The internal rocker arm and float 12 can be removed. The process is as follows: unscrew the inner threaded cover 17, move the mounting plate 9 upward to expose the upper end of the vertical rocker arm 10, remove the hinge of the fixing rod 15 and the vertical rocker arm 10, continue to lift the mounting plate 9 upward and pull the vertical rocker arm 10 upward, so that the horizontal rocker arm 11 tends to be vertical, and the rocker arm, dipstick 13 and float 12 can be removed by passing through the external threaded cylinder 16.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments without creative effort, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
