[0030] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description relating to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements.
[0031] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this disclosure to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information.
[0032] Oil storage tanks are crucial infrastructure for storing various types of petroleum and its derivatives (such as crude oil, gasoline, diesel, and aviation kerosene), and are widely used in the petrochemical industry, aerospace industry, transportation sector, and energy supply systems. With global economic development and increasing energy demand, the design, manufacture, and use of oil storage tanks face increasingly stringent requirements. Currently, there are numerous types and brands of oil storage tanks available, offering consumers a wide range of choices. Therefore, how to gain consumer favor and enhance product competitiveness has become an increasingly important issue for oil storage tank manufacturers.
[0033] In related technologies, oil storage tanks are equipped with light-transmitting holes for operators to inspect the inside of the tank. However, these light-transmitting holes pose a safety hazard of falling for the operators.
[0034] Based on this, the present disclosure provides an oil storage tank 100, which can improve the safety of inspection personnel when inspecting the oil storage tank 100.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, an oil storage tank 100 is provided, comprising a tank body 110, a protective device 120, and a sealing cap 130. The tank body 110 has a receiving cavity 111 for storing oil and a light-transmitting hole 112 communicating with the receiving cavity 111. The protective device 120 includes a mounting member 121 and a protective net 122. The mounting member 121 is fixed to the side wall of the light-transmitting hole 112, and the protective net 122 is disposed in the light-transmitting hole 112 through the mounting member 121 to cover the light-transmitting hole 112. The sealing cap 130 is movably connected to the tank body 110 to open or close the light-transmitting hole 112. When the sealing cap 130 opens the light-transmitting hole 112, the protective net 122 covers the light-transmitting hole 112.
[0036] Thus, when the oil storage tank 100 is in use, oil can be stored inside the tank 100 through the receiving cavity 111 of the tank body 110. By providing a light-transmitting hole 112 communicating with the receiving cavity 111 in the tank body 110, light can pass through the light-transmitting hole 112 when inspection personnel are conducting inspections of the oil storage tank 100, facilitating the inspection. By movably installing a sealing cover 130 in the tank body 110, the light-transmitting hole 112 is opened when the oil storage tank 100 is inspected, allowing light to pass through. After the inspection of the oil storage tank 100 is completed, the sealing cover 130 closes the light-transmitting hole 112 to prevent external contamination of the oil inside the oil storage tank 100 through the light-transmitting hole 112. When the sealing cover 130 opens the light-transmitting hole 112 to facilitate inspection personnel's inspection of the oil storage tank 100, the protective net 122 installed on the light-transmitting hole 112 can cover the light-transmitting hole 112, which can prevent personnel from falling into the oil storage tank 100 and improve the safety of inspection personnel when inspecting the oil storage tank 100. Furthermore, the use of the protective net 122 can also reduce the impact on the light transmission of the oil storage tank 100, thereby minimizing the impact on inspection personnel during their inspection of the oil storage tank 100.
[0037] It should be noted that there are several ways to implement the sealing cap 130 being movably connected to the tank body 110 to open or close the light-transmitting hole 112, including the sealing cap 130 being slidably connected to the tank body 110 and the sealing cap 130 being rotatably connected to the tank body 110.
[0038] like Figure 2As shown, in one example, the sealing cap 130 is rotatably connected to the tank body 110 to open or close the light-transmitting hole 112.
[0039] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting component 121 includes a mounting portion 1211 and a supporting portion 1212. A first included angle exists between the mounting portion 1211 and the supporting portion 1212. The mounting component 121 is fixed to the sidewall of the light-transmitting hole 112 via the mounting portion 1211, and the protective net 122 abuts against the supporting portion 1212. Thus, the mounting portion 121 is fixedly connected to the sidewall of the light-transmitting hole 112 to secure the mounting component 121 to the sidewall of the light-transmitting hole 112. The protective net 122 abuts against the supporting portion 1212, and the first included angle between the mounting portion 1211 and the supporting portion 1212 allows the protective net 122 to cover the light-transmitting hole 112, thereby preventing inspection personnel from falling into the oil storage tank 100 during inspections and improving the safety of inspection personnel.
[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the supporting portion 1212 is provided with a groove 1213 adapted to the protective net 122, and the protective net 122 cooperates with the groove 1213 to abut against the supporting portion 1212. In this way, by cooperating with the groove 1213, the groove 1213 can limit the movement of the protective net 122, prevent the protective net 122 from moving, and improve the reliability of the protective net 122 in covering the light-transmitting hole 112.
[0041] It should be noted that there are multiple ways to implement the mounting part 121, including the mounting part 1211 and the supporting part 1212 being manufactured as a single piece, or the mounting part 1211 and the supporting part 1212 being manufactured separately and then assembled.
[0042] like Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting part 1211 and the supporting part 1212 are manufactured as a single piece. This reduces assembly steps and improves the assembly efficiency of the protective device 120.
[0043] It should be noted that there are several ways to achieve the first included angle, including 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° and 120°, etc.
[0044] like Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first included angle is 90°. Thus, when the first included angle between the mounting part 1211 and the supporting part 1212 is 90°, the protective net 122 disposed on the supporting part 1212 has a good effect of covering the light-transmitting hole 112.
[0045] It should be noted that there are various ways to fix the mounting part 1211 to the side wall of the light-transmitting hole 112, including screw fixing, welding fixing and riveting fixing, etc.
[0046] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting part 1211 is welded to the tank body 110. This method of welding to fix the mounting part 1211 to the tank body 110 is easy to implement and provides good fixation.
[0047] In other embodiments, the protective device 120 further includes threaded fasteners, and the mounting portion 1211 is screwed to the side wall of the light-transmitting hole 112 by means of the threaded fasteners. In this way, the screw-fixing method is easy to implement and facilitates disassembly, maintenance and replacement.
[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting members 121 include multiple members, which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the light-transmitting hole 112 on the sidewall of the light-transmitting hole 112. Thus, by evenly spaced multiple mounting members 121 along the circumference of the light-transmitting hole 112 on the sidewall of the light-transmitting hole 112, the protective net 122 is mounted on the light-transmitting hole 112 using the multiple mounting members 121. The evenly spaced arrangement of the multiple mounting members 121 helps to ensure uniform stress on the protective net 122, thereby improving the reliability of the protective net 122.
[0049] It should be noted that the number of installation parts 121 can be set according to actual needs, including 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7, etc.
[0050] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting component 121 and the protective net 122 are made of stainless steel. Since the oil stored in the oil tank 100 is corrosive, making the mounting component 121 and the protective net 122 stainless steel helps prevent corrosion of the protective device 120, thus improving its reliability.
[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the protective device 120 further includes a connector 123, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the light-transmitting hole 112, and the other end is connected to the protective net 122. Thus, by connecting one end of the connector 123 to the side wall of the light-transmitting hole 112 and the other end to the protective net 122, the protective net 122 is prevented from falling into the oil storage tank 100.
[0052] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the connector 123 is made of metal. Since the oil stored in the oil tank 100 is corrosive, making the connector 123 of metal helps prevent corrosion and improves its reliability.
[0053] It should be noted that the material of connector 123 can be made in various ways, including iron, iron alloy, copper, copper alloy, etc.
[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the connector 123 includes a chain, one end of which is connected to the side wall of the light-transmitting hole 112, and the other end is connected to the protective net 122.
[0055] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the protective net 122 is coated with an oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer. Thus, by coating the protective net 122 with an oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer, the protective net 122 can be further protected from oil corrosion, further improving the lifespan and reliability of the protective device 120.
[0056] Of course, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in some other embodiments, the mounting component 121 may also be coated with an oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer. Thus, by coating the mounting component 121 with an oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant layer, the mounting component 121 can be further protected against oil corrosion, thereby further improving the lifespan and reliability of the protective device 120.
[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0058] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this disclosure, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this disclosure, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.
