Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil drum protection technology, and in particular to a protective cover for oil drums on offshore platforms. Background Technology
[0002] During drilling or production operations, offshore oil platforms require various moving parts such as lubricating oil and hydraulic oil to ensure normal operation. Therefore, offshore oil platforms often maintain a large reserve of oil. However, due to the high salinity and humidity of the offshore environment, water and salt accumulate on the tops of the oil drums, frequently causing corrosion and perforation. This leads to oil contamination and, consequently, oil spills into the sea, creating environmental problems. To avoid these issues, a protective cover for the oil drums that is both functional and easily accessible needs to be designed on-site. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a protective cover for oil drums on offshore platforms. The protective cover is characterized by being easy to stack, handle and extract oil, and having high strength.
[0004] This utility model is achieved by adopting the following technical solution.
[0005] A protective cover for an oil drum on an offshore platform includes a frustum-shaped cover body. A horizontally arranged baffle for sealing is provided in the cover body near the top of the cover body. Several drainage holes are formed on the cover body at the upper edge of the baffle. The bottom of the cover body is open, and an annular protective ring is connected to the lower edge of the cover body. An oil sampling groove is provided through the baffle. A handle is also provided on the baffle, and the handle is connected to the baffle via a rotating assembly.
[0006] Furthermore, the oil extraction tank is equipped with a plug, and the oil extraction tank and the plug are threaded together.
[0007] Furthermore, after the cover is connected to the barrel, the oil collection trough is located directly above the oil collection cover on the barrel.

[0023] The present patent application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a protective cover for an oil drum on an offshore platform includes a cover body 1, which is frustum-shaped. The top of the cover body 1 is an integrally sealed partition 3, and the top of the cover body 1 is higher than the partition 3, forming an annular upper edge. The bottom of the cover body 1 is open, and an annular protective ring 2 is provided at the bottom. A drain hole 1-1 is provided on the cover body 1 relative to the upper edge of the partition 3, allowing seawater or rainwater to drain quickly even if it splashes onto the partition 3. Because the cover body 1 is frustum-shaped, rainwater and seawater are guided out along the inclined surface of the cover body 1, making it less likely to corrode the oil drum. A through-hole oil sampling groove 4 is provided on the partition 3, and a handle 6 is provided on the partition 3. A rotating component is provided on the partition 3 relative to the handle 6. A drum body 14 is located directly below the cover body 1, and a sealing cap 15 is provided on the drum body 14. An oil sampling cap 16 is provided on the sealing cap 15 relative to the oil sampling groove 4.
[0025] The frustum-shaped design of the cover 1 allows multiple covers 1 to be stacked, saving storage space and effectively preventing them from slipping off each other. The oil collection groove 4 ensures that the oil collection groove 4 and the oil collection cap 16 are on the same vertical plane when the cover 1 is installed, allowing the oil inside the container 14 to be removed without opening the cover 1. The handle 6 makes it easy to pick up the cover 1, and the rotating component allows the handle 6 to be attached to the cover 1 when not in use.
[0026] It should be noted that the cover 1 is made of ABS plastic, which makes the cover 1 lightweight and easy to handle, and also prevents it from being corroded. The end of the cover 1 is passivated to prevent cuts and increase the safety of the cover 1.
[0027] The oil extraction tank 4 is equipped with a plug 5 inside. The oil extraction tank 4 and the plug 5 are threaded together, so that the oil extraction tank 4 can be sealed when oil extraction is not being performed.
[0028] There are two sets of rotating components, and each set of rotating components includes two positioning blocks 7. The two positioning blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the partition 3. The opposite surfaces of the two positioning blocks 7 are fixedly connected to a rotating rod 8. The handle 6 and the rotating rod 8 are movably connected. When it is necessary to take the cover 1, the handle 6 is rotated to rotate along the central axis of the rotating rod 8 until the handle 6 is perpendicular to the partition 3, and then the cover 1 can be taken out.
[0029] Specifically, a sleeve rod 9 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the rotating rod 8. A torsion spring 10 is provided on the inner side of the rotating rod 8 and the sleeve rod 9. The two ends of the torsion spring 10 are connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 8 and the inner side wall of the sleeve rod 9, respectively. The two ends of the sleeve rod 9 are connected to the two sides of the handle 6, respectively. When the handle 6 is rotated, the sleeve rod 9 rotates synchronously. While the sleeve rod 9 is rotating, it compresses the torsion spring 10. In this way, when the handle 6 is released, the handle 6 can be restored to the initial position of fitting with the cover 1 under the action of the restoring force of the torsion spring 10.
[0030] A pocket 11 is provided above the partition 3, and a cap-opening hammer 13 is inserted into the pocket 11. The cap-opening hammer 13 can be used to open the oil cap 16, and the cap-opening hammer 13 can be suspended by the pocket 11. A label box 12 is provided on the outside of the guardrail 2, and a label is inserted inside the label box 12 to identify the information of the barrel 14.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When installing the cover 1, it is simply snapped onto the top of the container 14, ensuring that the oil tray 4 and the oil cap 16 are on the same vertical plane. This allows the oil inside the container 14 to be removed without opening the cover 1. The frustum-shaped design of the cover 1 allows for stacking multiple covers, saving storage space and effectively preventing slippage. A handle 6 facilitates easy retrieval of the cover 1; a rotating component allows the handle 6 to be engaged with the partition 3 when not in use. A label box 12 identifies information about the container 14. A cap-opening hammer 13 opens the oil cap 16; a pocket 11 holds the cap-opening hammer 13.
[0032] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
