AI Technical Summary
Water-based paints are prone to settling when stored in storage tanks for extended periods, leading to color differences and poor coating results.
A water-based paint storage tank designed to prevent settling includes a vertical cylinder and rigid and flexible connecting cylinders. By intermittently supplying air with an air pump, the flexible connecting cylinder expands and lifts the rigid connecting cylinder, thereby agitating the paint inside the tank and preventing settling.
It effectively prevents water-based paint from settling in the storage tank, maintaining the uniformity of the paint and the coating effect.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage tank technology, and in particular to a paint storage tank that prevents water settling. Background Technology
[0002] A water-based paint storage tank is a container specifically designed for storing water-based paints. It is typically made of metal or plastic and has a certain volume, capable of holding a large quantity of paint. The main function of this storage tank is to protect the paint from external environmental factors such as oxygen and moisture, preventing it from deteriorating, drying out, or solidifying. It also prevents paint evaporation and waste, improving paint utilization. In use, the paint is poured into the tank and then sealed with a lid to ensure the paint's freshness and fluidity.
[0003] However, water-based paints may settle when stored in storage tanks for extended periods. This sedimentation in the topcoat can cause noticeable color differences within a single can of paint, affecting the final coating result.
[0004] Therefore, a paint storage tank with anti-settling properties is proposed to solve or alleviate the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a paint storage tank that prevents settling.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A paint storage tank with anti-settling properties includes a tank body, in which a vertically arranged vertical cylinder is provided. The outer circumference of the vertical cylinder is connected to a plurality of rigid connecting cylinders located at various horizontal heights, and the rigid connecting cylinders are movable relative to the vertical cylinder.
[0008] Preferably, an air pipe is provided at the bottom of the tank, penetrating the bottom surface of the tank and extending therein. The air pipe is controllable by a valve, and the upper end of the air pipe is connected to the vertical cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, the outer peripheral wall of the vertical cylinder has several through holes, and a flexible connecting pipe that communicates with the through holes is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the vertical cylinder. The end of the flexible connecting pipe away from the vertical cylinder is connected to the rigid connecting cylinder, and the flexible connecting pipe has elastic deformation properties.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the tank is connected to a vertically arranged discharge pipe, and the discharge pipe is connected to an outlet valve.
[0011] Preferably, the tank body, vertical cylinder, air pipe, discharge pipe, and rigid connecting cylinder are all made of 314L stainless steel, and the flexible connecting pipe is made of silicone.
[0012] Preferably, a horizontally arranged feed pipe is connected to the upper outer peripheral wall of the tank, and an inlet valve is connected to the feed pipe.
[0013] Preferably, it also includes a support frame, on which the tank is fixedly connected.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This invention uses an inlet pipe to store water-based paint into a tank, and then closes the valve. To prevent settling, an air pump intermittently supplies air, causing airflow within the air pipe. This expands the flexible connecting pipe, lifting the rigid connecting cylinder. When the air pump stops supplying air, the flexible connecting pipe contracts, and the rigid connecting cylinder drops, thus agitating the water-based paint inside the tank and preventing settling. When discharge is required, the outlet valve is opened, and the paint is discharged through the outlet pipe. Attached Figure Description

[0026] A type of anti-settling water-based paint storage tank, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a support frame 1 and a tank body 2. The tank body 2 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1. A vertically arranged vertical cylinder 9 is installed inside the tank body 2. Several sets of rigid connecting cylinders 11 located at various horizontal heights are connected to the outer ring of the vertical cylinder 9. The rigid connecting cylinders 11 can be movably arranged relative to the vertical cylinder 9. Specifically, an air pipe 8 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 2, penetrating the bottom surface of the tank body 2 and extending into it. The air pipe 8 can be opened and closed by a control valve 7. The upper end of the air pipe 8 is connected to the vertical cylinder 9. Several through holes are opened on the outer peripheral wall of the vertical cylinder 9. A flexible connecting pipe 10 communicating with the through holes is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the vertical cylinder 9. The end of the flexible connecting pipe 10 away from the vertical cylinder 9 is connected to the rigid connecting cylinder 11. The flexible connecting pipe 10 has elastic deformation properties.
[0027] The bottom of the tank body 2 is connected to a vertically arranged discharge pipe 6, and the discharge pipe 6 is connected to an outlet valve 5. The tank body 2, vertical cylinder 9, air pipe 8, discharge pipe 6, and rigid connecting cylinder 11 are all made of 314L stainless steel, and the flexible connecting pipe 10 is made of silicone. The upper outer wall of the tank body 2 is connected to a horizontally arranged feed pipe, and the feed pipe is connected to an inlet valve 4.
[0028] In this invention, when storing water-based paint for extended periods, the water-based paint enters the tank 2 through the feed pipe 3. Then, the inlet valve 4 on the feed pipe 3 is closed, allowing the water-based paint to be stored in the tank 2. To prevent sedimentation of the water-based paint in the tank 2, the air pipe 8 is connected to the air pump, and the control valve 7 is opened to allow the air pump to intermittently supply air. This allows air to flow sequentially through the air pipe 8, vertical cylinder 9, flexible connecting pipe 10, and rigid connecting cylinder 11. As air is introduced, the air volume increases, causing the flexible connecting pipe 10 to expand. This lifts up the rigid connecting cylinder 11 connected to it. Due to the intermittent operation of the air pump, air will also flow out. The air leaves through the air pipe 8, and then the flexible connecting pipe 10 no longer remains in an expanded state. Under its own weight, the rigid connecting cylinder 11 begins to pull the flexible connecting pipe 10 down. Then, as the air pump works again, it is lifted up again. In this way, the rigid connecting cylinder 11 can be stirred up and down in the tank 2, so that the water-based paint stored therein can be fully mixed and is not prone to settling. When the water-based paint needs to be discharged, the outlet valve 5 is opened, and the water-based paint is discharged through the discharge pipe 6.
[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. 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.
