Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas storage and processing technology, and in particular to a horizontal gas storage tank designed to prevent clogging. Background Technology
[0002] A horizontal gas storage tank is a pressure vessel used to store gases. It is typically a horizontally lying cylinder, usually made of rolled and welded steel plates to form a sealed cylindrical container. It stores gas through its internal space. When external gas enters the tank through the inlet pipe, it is compressed and stored inside the tank under the pressure. The tank can withstand a certain pressure, thus maintaining the gas in a stored state at a relatively high pressure to provide a stable gas source when needed. A gas outlet pipe is usually installed at the top of the horizontal gas storage tank to transport the stored gas to equipment or systems that require it. In this system, when downstream production equipment, pneumatic tools, etc., require an air source, the gas in the air tank will flow out through the outlet pipe to provide power to these devices or meet process requirements. After prolonged use, rust and impurities will accumulate on the inner wall of the outlet pipe, causing blockages. This will reduce the gas flow rate and pressure of the air tank, resulting in insufficient air supply for downstream equipment, significantly reducing work efficiency or even preventing normal operation. Impurities may also enter the equipment with the airflow, causing wear and tear, malfunctions, increased maintenance costs and downtime, affecting production continuity, and in severe cases, even causing safety accidents due to abnormal pressure.

Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0029] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] Reference Figures 1-8 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an anti-clogging horizontal gas storage tank, which includes a main body component 100 and a cleaning component 200. The two work together to clean impurities on the inner wall of the pipeline.
[0032] Specifically, the main component 100 includes an air outlet pipe 101 and an air storage tank 102. The air storage tank 102 is located at the bottom of the air outlet pipe 101, and the air outlet pipe 101 is connected to the air storage tank 102.
[0033] As a device specifically for storing gases, the gas storage tank 102 can store gases such as compressed air for later use in industrial production. When gas-consuming equipment needs a large amount of gas in a short period of time, the gas storage tank 102 can supply it in time to solve the contradiction of gas consumption in the system in a short period of time. The gas outlet pipe 101 is used to transport the gas stored in the gas storage tank to the equipment or system that needs gas.
[0034] Specifically, the cleaning component 200, located on the inner wall of the vent pipe 101, includes a connecting rod 201a, a connecting plate 201b, a cleaning ring 201c, a squeezing block 201d, a toggle block 201e, a connecting shaft 201f, a door 201g, and a collection frame 201h. The connecting plate 201b is located at the top of the connecting rod 201a, the cleaning ring 201c is located at one end of the connecting plate 201b and slides on the inner wall of the vent pipe 101, the squeezing block 201d is located at one end of the cleaning ring 201c, the toggle block 201e is located on the inner wall of the vent pipe 101, the connecting shaft 201f is inserted into the inner wall of the toggle block 201e, the door 201g is located on one side of the connecting shaft 201f, and the collection frame 201h is located on one side of the door 201g, with the other end located at one end of the vent pipe 101.
[0035] An outlet groove is provided on the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 101, and a lever 201e is provided on the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 101 for movement.
[0036] When it is necessary to clean impurities inside the vent pipe 101, the connecting rod 201a is moved, which in turn moves the connecting plate 201b. As the connecting plate 201b moves, it slides along the inner wall of the vent pipe 101. This movement of the connecting plate 201b causes the cleaning ring 201c to slide along the edge of the inner wall of the vent pipe 101. The cleaning ring 201c is inclined, and a collection groove is formed on its inner wall. The movement of the cleaning ring 201c cleans the impurities adhering to the wall of the vent pipe 101, causing them to fall into the collection groove. When the cleaning ring 201c moves to the outlet groove on the air outlet pipe 101, the impurities will slide down along the guide of the cleaning ring 201c to the inner wall of the collection frame 201h. The movement of the cleaning ring 201c will drive the squeezing block 201d to move. When the squeezing block 201d moves to squeeze the push block 201e, the push block 201e will rotate. The rotation of the push block 201e will drive the connecting shaft 201f to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 201f can drive the door 201g to open. The opening of the door 201g can release the impurities on the inner wall of the collection frame 201h.
[0037] There are usually impurities on the inner wall of the vent pipe 101. When it is necessary to remove these impurities, the connecting rod 201a is moved. The movement of the connecting rod 201a causes the connecting plate 201b to move. The connecting plate 201b causes the cleaning ring 201c to slide on the edge of the inner wall of the vent pipe 101. The sliding of the cleaning ring 201c can clean the impurities hanging on the wall of the vent pipe 101, and the impurities fall into the collection groove. When the cleaning ring 201c moves to the outlet groove on the vent pipe 101, these impurities will slide down the inner wall of the collection frame 201h as guided by the collection groove of the cleaning ring 201c. When the cleaning ring 201c moves, it will cause the squeezing block 201d to squeeze the prying block 201e, causing the prying block 201e to flip and move. The movement of the prying block 201e causes the connecting shaft 201f to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 201f causes the door 201g to open, so that the impurities cleaned by the cleaning ring 201c can slide down the inner wall of the collection frame 201h.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] Reference Figures 1-8 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0040] Specifically, the cleaning component 200 also includes a cleaning element 202, which is disposed at one end of the air outlet pipe 101. It includes a sliding frame 202a, a sliding frame 202a at one end of the connecting rod 201a, a slide bar 202b on the inner wall of the sliding frame 202a, a rotating rod 202c on one side of the slide bar 202b, a groove 202c-1 on the inner wall of the rotating rod 202c, and the rotating rod 202c is inserted into the inner wall of the sliding frame 202a.
[0041] By rotating the rotating rod 202c, the rotating rod 202c drives the sliding groove 202c-1 to squeeze the sliding strip 202b and make it move. The movement of the sliding strip 202b will drive the sliding frame 202a to move. The movement of the sliding frame 202a will drive the connecting rod 201a to move. The movement of the connecting rod 201a can drive the cleaning ring 201c to remove impurities from the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 101.
[0042] Specifically, the cleaning component 202 includes a rotating rod 202c, a drive shaft 202d is inserted into the inner wall of the rotating rod 202c, and a support frame 202e is sleeved on the outer side of the drive shaft 202d.
[0043] By rotating the drive shaft 202d, the rotation of the drive shaft 202d will drive the rotating rod 202c to rotate. The support frame 202e is used to support the drive shaft 202d.
[0044] Specifically, the cleaning component 202 also includes a protective strip 202f on the drive shaft 202d, and a motor 202g is provided on the top of the rotating rod 202c.
[0045] The protective strip 202f is used to protect the drive shaft 202d and prevent it from falling off. The other end of the drive shaft 202d is mounted on the inner wall of the support frame 202e and rotates. By starting the motor 202g, the power of the motor 202g will drive the drive shaft 202d to rotate, and the drive shaft 202d will drive the rotating rod 202c to rotate.
[0046] Specifically, the cleaning component 202 also includes a support rod 202h, which is disposed on the inner wall of the sliding frame 202a and fixed at both ends to the support frame 202e.
[0047] The support rod 202h is used to support the sliding frame 202a, making the sliding frame 202a more stable when moving.
[0048] Specifically, the cleaning component 202 also includes a protective frame 202i, which is fitted onto the outside of the support frame 202e.
[0049] The protective frame 202i is used to protect the support frame 202e.
[0050] When it is necessary to remove impurities from the inner wall of the vent pipe 101, the motor 202g is started. The power of the motor 202g drives the drive shaft 202d to rotate. The drive shaft 202d drives the rotating rod 202c to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 202c causes the sliding groove 202c-1 to squeeze the sliding strip 202b, causing the sliding strip 202b to move. The movement of the sliding strip 202b causes the sliding frame 202a to slide on the support rod 202h. The movement of the sliding frame 202a causes the connecting rod 201a to move. The movement of the connecting rod 201a causes the cleaning ring 201c to slide on the edge of the inner wall of the vent pipe 101, thereby cleaning the impurities hanging on the wall of the vent pipe 101.
[0051] Example 3
[0052] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0053] Specifically, the cleaning component 202 also includes a collection component 203, which is set on the inner wall of the collection frame 201h. The collection component 203 includes an inclined plate 203a, which is set on the inner wall of the collection frame 201h. A drive ring 203b is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting shaft 201f, and a door 201g is set at one end of the drive ring 203b.
[0054] When the cleaning ring 201c transfers impurities to the inclined plate 203a on the inner wall of the collection frame 201h, the movement of the cleaning ring 201c will drive the squeezing block 201d to move. When the squeezing block 201d moves to squeeze the push block 201e, the push block 201e will rotate. The rotation of the push block 201e will drive the connecting shaft 201f to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 201f will drive the drive ring 203b to rotate. The rotation of the drive ring 203b will drive the door 201g to open. At this time, the impurities on the inclined plate 203a will slide off through the guide of the inclined plate 203a, thereby completing the cleaning of the air outlet pipe 101.
[0055] Specifically, the collecting component 203 includes a placement plate 203c. There are two placement plates 203c, each set at one end of the connecting shaft 201f. A torsion spring 203d is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 201f. One end of the torsion spring 203d is fixed to one end of the placement plate 203c, and the other end is fixed to one end of the drive ring 203b.
[0056] The placement plate 203c is used to support the connecting shaft 201f. When the pressing block 201d moves to press the lever block 201e, the lever block 201e will rotate. The rotation of the lever block 201e drives the connecting shaft 201f to rotate. The connecting shaft 201f drives the drive ring 203b to rotate. The rotation of the drive ring 203b will apply pressure to the torsion spring 203d. The rotation of the drive ring 203b can drive the door 201g to open. At this time, the impurities on the inclined plate 203a will slide off through the guide of the inclined plate 203a, thereby completing the cleaning of the vent pipe 101. After cleaning, the cleaning ring 201c returns to its original position. The movement of the cleaning ring 201c drives the pressing block 201d to separate from the lever block 201e. At this time, the rebound force of the torsion spring 203d can drive the drive ring 203b to return to its original position. The movement of the drive ring 203b drives the door 201g to close.
[0057] Specifically, the collection component 203 also includes a positioning plate 203e, which is located at the bottom of the placement plate 203c and has its other end fixed to one end of the air outlet pipe 101.
[0058] The positioning plate 203e is used to support the placement plate 203c.
[0059] Specifically, a support 103 is provided at the bottom of the gas storage tank 102, and a connecting pipe 104 is also provided at one end of the gas storage tank 102.
[0060] The bracket 103 can stably support the gas storage tank 102 in a specific position, ensuring its stability during storage and use, preventing the gas storage tank 102 from tipping over or shifting due to external forces, vibrations, or its own weight, and ensuring the safe operation of the gas storage tank 102. The connecting pipe 104 can serve as an emergency discharge channel to safely discharge the gas in the gas storage tank 102 to a designated location to protect the safety of equipment and personnel.
[0061] In use, when it is necessary to clean impurities in the vent pipe 101, the motor 202g is turned on. The power of the motor 202g drives the drive shaft 202d to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 202c to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 202c causes the slide groove 202c-1 to press against the slide bar 202b, causing the slide bar 202b to move. The movement of the slide bar 202b causes the sliding frame 202a to slide on the support rod 202h. The movement of frame 202a causes connecting rod 201a to move, which in turn causes connecting plate 201b to slide on the inner wall of exhaust pipe 101. The movement of connecting plate 201b causes cleaning ring 201c to slide along the edge of the inner wall of exhaust pipe 101. The movement of cleaning ring 201c cleans impurities adhering to the wall of exhaust pipe 101, causing them to fall into the collection tank. When cleaning ring 201c moves to the outlet slot on exhaust pipe 101, impurities will flow down the cleaning ring 201c. The guide slides down to the inner wall of the collection frame 201h and falls onto the inclined plate 203a. When the cleaning ring 201c moves, it drives the squeezing block 201d to move. The movement of the squeezing block 201d squeezes the dial block 201e, causing it to rotate. The rotation of the dial block 201e drives the connecting shaft 201f to rotate, which in turn drives the drive ring 203b to rotate. The rotation of the drive ring 203b applies pressure to the torsion spring 203d. The rotation of the drive ring 203b... This will open the door 201g, allowing impurities to fall through the guide plate 203a, thus cleaning the vent pipe 101. After cleaning, the cleaning ring 201c returns to its original position, causing the squeezing block 201d and the toggle block 201e to separate. The force of the torsion spring 203d returning to its original position will then drive the drive ring 203b to return to its original position, and the drive ring 203b will move to close the door 201g for the next use.
[0062] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
