Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of IBC (In-Battery Container) draining technology, specifically to an auxiliary draining structure for an IBC. Background Technology

[0002] IBC (Individual Bulk Container) refers to IBC medium-sized bulk containers, which are essential tools for modern warehousing and transportation of liquid products. IBC containers are usually composed of an inner container and a metal frame. The inner container is made of high-molecular-weight, high-density polyethylene blow molding, which is high in strength, corrosion-resistant, and hygienic, thus meeting the needs of various liquid raw materials. The metal frame provides structural impact protection for the inner container, improves the overall pressure resistance of the device, and expands its application range.

[0003] However, most currently used IBC containers discharge liquid by directly connecting a hose to the discharge valve on the IBC container and then discharging the liquid by its own weight. While this can meet most liquid transportation needs, for liquids with high viscosity, relying solely on the liquid's own weight for discharge makes it difficult to guarantee the output speed, which can easily affect the efficiency of related processes. Although existing technologies can add pumping equipment for raw material extraction, the use of pumping equipment is greatly limited in environments without electricity, and its practicality is still lacking. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an auxiliary drainage structure for IBC containers, solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary drainage structure for an IBC (Inner Container Chamber), including an inner container body and a metal frame fitted outside the inner container body. The top of the inner container body is provided with a threaded connecting pipe communicating with its own space, and the bottom of the inner container body is installed with a drainage valve pipe communicating with its own space. A support plate is provided outside the top of the inner container body, and clamping components are connected to both sides of the support plate. The two clamping components can clamp and limit the inner container body.

[0006] The inner container body is internally fitted with a support plate, a support cylinder, a bevel gear box, and a guide cylinder. The bottom of the support cylinder is fixed to the top of the support plate. The housing of the bevel gear box is fitted to the bottom inner side of the support plate by a pin. One end of the guide cylinder is fixed between the guide cylinder and the surface of the bevel gear box housing, and the other end of the guide cylinder is aligned with the drain valve pipe. The output end of the bevel gear box is driven by a spiral blade shaft fitted inside the guide cylinder.

[0007] The input end of the bevel gearbox is fixed with a square limiting sleeve, and an adjusting shaft is installed inside the support cylinder. One end of the adjusting shaft is fixed with a square block that can engage with the square limiting sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, both clamping components include an L-shaped curved plate and a T-shaped threaded rod. One end of the L-shaped curved plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate, and a threaded cylinder is fixedly sleeved inside the other end of the L-shaped curved plate. The middle part of the T-shaped threaded rod is threadedly connected inside the threaded cylinder.

[0009] Specifically, a first wrench is fixed to the end of the T-shaped threaded rod away from the L-shaped curved plate, the T-shaped threaded rod adopts a T-shaped structure, and the corner structures of the two L-shaped curved plates are both set as rounded corner structures.

[0010] The support plate has a recessed groove inside, and the corners of the recessed groove are rounded to avoid scratches. The recessed groove and the outer ring structure of the support plate cooperate to form an auxiliary handle structure.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the adjustment shaft extends to the outer side of the top of the inner container body, and a second wrench is fixedly connected to the top end of the adjustment shaft for easy turning and applying force.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting component is provided between the top surface of the adjusting shaft and the inner wall of the top of the support cylinder. The limiting component includes an elastic sealing ring and a magnetic ring. The inner wall of the elastic sealing ring is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the adjusting shaft, and the surface of the elastic sealing ring is in close contact with the inner wall of the bottom of the support cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the magnet ring is fixedly nested on the top surface of the adjusting shaft, and the surface of the magnet ring can be magnetically connected to the inner wall of the top of the support cylinder, thereby improving the connection strength between the adjusting shaft and the support cylinder.

[0014] The bevel gearbox is designed to be reciprocated inside the support sleeve via a pin, allowing for easy adjustment and installation. The support sleeve is fitted with a limiting threaded rod that can contact and limit the bevel gearbox housing surface. The support plate has a threaded hole inside, and one end of the limiting threaded rod extends to the top outer side of the support plate, where it is helically locked with the threaded hole.

[0015] The top end of the limiting threaded rod is fixedly connected to a third handle for easy subsequent tightening and force application. The surface of the structure where the limiting threaded rod engages with the support sleeve is embedded with a magnet, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the limiting threaded rod and the support sleeve when not in use.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-3 , Figure 6 An auxiliary drainage structure for an IBC (Inner Container Chamber) includes an inner container body 1 and a metal frame 2 fitted outside the inner container body 1. The top of the inner container body 1 is provided with a threaded connecting pipe communicating with its own space, and the bottom of the inner container body 1 is installed with a drainage valve pipe 9 communicating with its own space. A support plate 3 is provided on the top of the inner container body 1. The support plate 3 has a relief groove inside, and the edges and corners of the relief groove are all set with a rounded corner structure to avoid scratches. The relief groove and the outer ring structure of the support plate 3 cooperate to form an auxiliary handle structure.

[0028] Both sides of the support plate 3 are connected to clamping components 4, and the two clamping components 4 can clamp and limit the inner container body 1. Each clamping component 4 includes an L-shaped curved plate 41 and a T-shaped threaded rod 42. One end of the L-shaped curved plate 41 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support plate 3, and a threaded cylinder is fixedly sleeved inside the other end of the L-shaped curved plate 41. The middle part of the T-shaped threaded rod 42 is threadedly connected inside the threaded cylinder. A first wrench is fixed at the end of the T-shaped threaded rod 42 away from the L-shaped curved plate 41. The T-shaped threaded rod 42 adopts a T-shaped structure, and the corner structures of the two L-shaped curved plates 41 are all set as rounded corner structures.

[0029] The inner container body 1 is internally fitted with a support sleeve 6, a support cylinder 5, a bevel gear box 7, and a guide cylinder 8. The bottom of the support cylinder 5 is fixed to the top of the support sleeve 6. The housing of the bevel gear box 7 is fitted to the bottom inner side of the support sleeve 6 by a pin. One end of the guide cylinder 8 is fixed with the surface of the housing of the bevel gear box 7, and the other end of the guide cylinder 8 is aligned with the drain valve pipe 9. The output end of the bevel gear box 7 is driven by a spiral blade shaft 12 fitted inside the guide cylinder 8.

[0030] A square limiting sleeve is fixed at the input end of the bevel gearbox 7. An adjusting shaft 10 is installed inside the support cylinder 5. A square block that can engage with the square limiting sleeve is fixed at one end of the adjusting shaft 10. One end of the top of the adjusting shaft 10 extends to the outer side of the top of the inner container body 1. A second wrench is fixedly connected to the top end of the adjusting shaft 10 for easy turning and applying force.

[0031] Specific usage of this embodiment:

[0032] For the output of materials with high viscosity inside the inner container body 1, the support sleeve 6, bevel gear box 7, guide cylinder 8, support cylinder 5, adjustment shaft 10 and other structures can be sequentially installed inside the inner container body 1. During the installation process, the guide cylinder 8, spiral blade shaft 12 and bevel gear box 7 will rotate and make room under the support of the pin shaft, so that the guide cylinder 8 is aligned with the drain valve pipe 9 and the shell surface of the bevel gear box 7 is in contact with the bottom inner wall of the inner container body 1.

[0033] Next, the T-shaped threaded rods 42 inside the two clamping components 4 are turned so that the two T-shaped threaded rods 42, supported by their respective L-shaped curved plates 41 and threaded sleeves, can clamp and limit the inner container body 1.

[0034] Then, push the adjusting shaft 10 so that the square block connected to the bottom of the adjusting shaft 10 fits into the square limiting sleeve fixed at the top input end of the bevel gear box 7. If the initial fit is not successful, the adjusting shaft 10 can be turned so that the adjusting shaft 10 drives the square block to rotate and probe at the top of the square limiting sleeve until the square block can engage with the square limiting sleeve.

[0035] After the adjusting shaft 10 and the bevel gear box 7 are assembled, the adjusting shaft 10 is reciprocated by using the second wrench. The adjusting shaft 10 drives the bevel gear box 7 by the engagement of the square block and the square limit sleeve. Then, the output end of the bevel gear box 7 drives the spiral blade shaft 12 to rotate synchronously. Then, some of the raw materials are accelerated to be transported to the inside of the drain valve pipe 9 by spiral extrusion conveying, thereby speeding up the conveying speed of the drain valve pipe 9 and solving the problem of slow conveying of raw materials with high viscosity.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-3 , Figure 6 A limiting component is provided between the top surface of the adjusting shaft 10 and the inner wall of the top of the support cylinder 5. The limiting component includes an elastic sealing ring and a magnetic ring. The inner wall of the elastic sealing ring is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the adjusting shaft 10, and the surface of the elastic sealing ring is in close contact with the inner wall of the bottom of the support cylinder 5. The magnetic ring is fixedly nested on the top surface of the adjusting shaft 10, and the surface of the magnetic ring can be magnetically connected to the inner wall of the top of the support cylinder 5, thereby improving the connection strength between the adjusting shaft 10 and the support cylinder 5.

[0037] Specific usage of this embodiment:

[0038] Considering the issues of material overflow caused by the gap between the support cylinder 5 and the adjusting shaft 10 during rotation, as well as the stability of the adjusting shaft 10's rotation, an elastic sealing ring is used to fill the gap between the support cylinder 5 and the adjusting shaft 10. This ensures the flexible rotation of the adjusting shaft 10 while preventing material overflow caused by the gap. Similarly, a magnetic ring is used to enhance the connection strength between the adjusting shaft 10 and the support cylinder 5, thereby improving the stability of the adjusting shaft 10's rotation without interfering with its rotation.

[0039] Please see Figure 4-5 , Figure 6 The bevel gearbox 7 can be reciprocated inside the support sleeve 6 via a pin, which facilitates adjustment and installation. The support sleeve 6 has a limiting threaded rod 11 that can contact and limit the bevel gearbox 7 housing surface. The support plate 3 has a threaded hole inside. One end of the limiting threaded rod 11 is screwed together with the threaded hole and extends to the top outer side of the support plate 3.

[0040] The top end of the limiting threaded rod 11 is fixedly connected to a third handle, which facilitates subsequent tightening and force application. The surface of the structure where the limiting threaded rod 11 engages with the support sleeve 6 is nested with a magnet, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the limiting threaded rod 11 and the support sleeve 6 when not in use.

[0041] Specific usage of this embodiment:

[0042] Considering the potential instability of the bevel gearbox 7 during the reciprocating rotation of the adjusting shaft 10, a limiting threaded rod 11 is used to limit the bevel gearbox 7. Specifically, after the bevel gearbox 7 rotates to make room, the limiting threaded rod 11 is screwed on so that the limiting threaded rod 11 contacts the bevel gearbox 7 under the spiral support of the support plate 3 and the guidance of the support sleeve plate 6. This, in conjunction with the inner container body 1, constrains the upward space of the bevel gearbox 7, ensuring the stability of the subsequent transmission output of the bevel gearbox 7.
