Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0028] A device simulating an underground oil storage tank at a gas station, as shown in the attached document. Figures 1-5 The system includes a base 1, with a simulated oil storage tank 2 fixedly connected to the upper part of the base 1. A cleaning plate 20 for cleaning the inner wall of the simulated oil storage tank 2 is slidably connected inside the simulated oil storage tank 2. A reciprocating mechanism for controlling the reciprocating sliding of the cleaning plate 20 is provided on the upper part of the simulated oil storage tank 2. The reciprocating mechanism includes a fixed plate 12 fixedly connected to the upper part of the simulated oil storage tank 2. A motor 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed plate 12. A second connecting plate 15 is provided at the output end of the motor 16. A slide groove 14 is slidably connected to the second connecting plate 15. The slide groove 14 is formed on the surface of a first connecting plate 13. The first connecting plate 13 and the fixed plate 12 are slidably connected. The first connecting plate 13 penetrates through the simulated oil storage tank 2 and extends into the interior of the simulated oil storage tank 2. The lower part of the first connecting plate 13 is connected to the cleaning plate 20. The connection between the two plates is fixed. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the simulated oil storage tank 2 to ensure that the quality of the oil in the simulated device is consistent with that of the oil in a real gas station, the oil inside the simulated oil storage tank 2 is emptied. At this time, the motor 16 fixedly installed on one side of the fixed plate 12 is started, causing the second connecting plate 15 set at the output end of the motor 16 to rotate in a circular motion. The rotation of the second connecting plate 15 drives the first connecting plate 13 to move up and down repeatedly through the sliding groove 14. The first connecting plate 13 and the fixed plate 12 are slidably connected to keep the first connecting plate 13 stable when it moves up and down. The lower part of the first connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the cleaning plate 20. That is, the first connecting plate 13 will eventually drive the cleaning plate 20, which is slidably connected inside the simulated oil storage tank 2, to slide up and down to clean the inner wall of the simulated oil storage tank 2.

[0029] Furthermore, the simulated oil storage tank 2 is equipped with a uniform spraying mechanism inside, and a connecting mechanism is provided on the upper part of the simulated oil storage tank 2. The connecting mechanism is used to connect the uniform spraying mechanism and the reciprocating mechanism. The uniform spraying mechanism includes a second water inlet pipe 22 rotatably connected inside the simulated oil storage tank 2. The surface of the second water inlet pipe 22 is provided with multiple nozzles 26 for spraying water. Multiple protective sleeves 27 for protecting the nozzles 26 are slidably connected to the second water inlet pipe 22. The second water inlet pipe 22 is slidably connected to the cleaning plate 20. The connecting mechanism includes a first rotating shaft 24 rotatably connected to the side of the fixed plate 12 away from the motor 16. The first rotating shaft 24 is fixedly connected to a first gear 25. The first gear 25 is meshed with the teeth on one side of the first connecting plate 13. The first rotating shaft 24 is fixedly connected to a bevel gear set 23. The bevel gear set 23 is fixedly connected to the second water inlet pipe 22. When the first connecting plate 13 moves up and down, the teeth on one side of the first connecting plate 13 will drive the first gear 25 to rotate. The first gear 25 will drive the first rotating shaft 24 to rotate the bevel gear set 23. The rotation of the bevel gear set 23 will drive the second water inlet pipe 22 to rotate, which will cause the multiple nozzles 26 on the surface of the second water inlet pipe 22 to rotate, so as to evenly spray water into the simulated oil storage tank 2 for cleaning. The protective sleeve 27 slidably connected to the surface of the second water inlet pipe 22 can protect the nozzles 26 when not in use. At the same time, the water pump 18 is turned on, so that the water stored in the water storage tank 3 is sucked into the first water inlet pipe 17. The first water inlet pipe 17 is sleeved on the outside of the second water inlet pipe 22, which will deliver water into the second water inlet pipe 22. The water inlet 19 set on the upper part of the water storage tank 3 can facilitate the addition of water into the water storage tank 3.

[0030] In addition, a control panel 5 is provided on the surface of the base 1, an alarm 4 for alarm function is provided on the upper part of the base 1, multiple filter holes 21 are provided on the surface of the cleaning plate 20, a water storage tank 3 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the base 1, a water inlet 19 for adding water to the water storage tank 3 is provided on the upper part of the water storage tank 3, a first water inlet pipe 17 is provided on the upper part of the water storage tank 3, a water suction pump 18 is provided at the connection between the first water inlet pipe 17 and the water storage tank 3, the first water inlet pipe 17 is sleeved outside the second water inlet pipe 22, and the first water inlet pipe 17 and the second water inlet pipe 22 are rotatably connected, an oil inlet pipe 11 for adding oil to the simulated oil storage tank 2 is provided on one side of the simulated oil storage tank 2, an oil outlet pipe 6 for discharging oil is provided on the side of the simulated oil storage tank 2 away from the oil inlet pipe 11, a water suction pump 8 is provided at the connection between the oil outlet pipe 6 and the simulated oil storage tank 2, an oil outlet valve 7 is provided on the upper part of the oil outlet pipe 6, and an exhaust valve is provided on one side of the simulated oil storage tank 2. The exhaust pipe 9 is equipped with an exhaust valve 10. A temperature sensor 28 and a pressure sensor 29 are installed inside the simulated oil storage tank 2. Oil is added to the simulated oil storage tank 2 through the oil inlet pipe 11 on one side of the simulated oil storage tank 2. The temperature and pressure inside the simulated oil storage tank 2 are monitored by the temperature sensor 28 and the pressure sensor 29 to ensure the safety of the device. An alarm 4 is installed on the upper part of the base 1 to issue an alarm to remind relevant personnel in case of abnormality. When the pressure inside the simulated oil storage tank 2 is detected to be too high, the exhaust valve 10 is opened to discharge the gas from the exhaust pipe 9 to the outside. When it is necessary to discharge the oil inside the simulated oil storage tank 2, the oil outlet valve 7 is opened and the oil suction pump 8 is started to suck the oil inside the simulated oil storage tank 2 into the oil outlet pipe 6. Finally, the oil stored inside the simulated oil storage tank 2 is discharged to the outside through the oil outlet pipe 6.

[0031] Working principle: During use, the motor 16 is started via the control panel, driving the cleaning plate 20 to slide back and forth on the inner wall of the simulated oil storage tank for cleaning. At the same time, the rotation of the motor 16 drives the second water inlet pipe 22 and its nozzle 26 in the uniform spraying mechanism to rotate, so as to uniformly spray water to assist in cleaning. The water pump 18 draws water from the water storage tank 3 and sends it into the second water inlet pipe 22 through the first water inlet pipe 17, and sprays it out through the nozzle 26. Oil is added through the oil inlet pipe 11. The temperature sensor 28 and the pressure sensor 29 monitor the temperature and pressure inside the tank to ensure safety. In case of abnormality, the alarm 4 will sound an alarm. When it is necessary to discharge oil, the oil outlet valve 7 is opened and the oil suction pump 8 is started to discharge the oil. The opening and closing of the exhaust valve 10 is controlled as needed to release the gas inside the tank.

[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
