[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A hot water storage tank in this embodiment includes a tank body 1 and a base 2, and a spray cleaning mechanism inside the tank body 1 for automatically cleaning the inner wall.
[0025] The spraying cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning agent tank 3, a water tank 4, and a rotary motor 5, all fixedly connected to the top of the tank body 1. A conical hollow turntable 6 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor 5. The top of the conical hollow turntable 6 has a water inlet 7, and the outer side and bottom of the conical hollow turntable 6 have water outlets 8. A screen 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side of both the water inlet 7 and the water outlet 8. Feed pipes 10 are fixedly connected to the tops of both the cleaning agent tank 3 and the water tank 4. A delivery pipe 11, with one end penetrating the tank body 1 and extending into it, is fixedly connected to the bottom of both the cleaning agent tank 3 and the water tank 4. A drain pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 1. The outside of the tank body 1 is equipped with a heat insulation structure. The cleaning agent storage tank 3 and the water storage tank 4 can sequentially inject cleaning agent and water into the conical hollow turntable 6. The rotary motor 5 can drive the conical hollow turntable 6 to rotate clockwise at a low speed. Because the center of gravity of the conical hollow turntable 6 is low, the superposition of gravity and centrifugal force during low-speed rotation increases the pressure at the bottom of the conical hollow turntable 6, so that the cleaning agent and water are sprayed in a rotating manner from the mesh of the interception net 9 at the outlet 8 to the surrounding inner wall for automatic cleaning of the inner wall of the tank.
[0026] In this embodiment, the cleaning agent inside the cleaning agent storage tank 3 can be changed according to the material to be cleaned.
[0027] It should be noted that a suction pipe for extracting liquid from inside the tank is fixedly connected to the back of the tank 1.
[0028] In this embodiment, the insulation structure includes a rock wool insulation sleeve 13 bonded to the outside of the tank body 1, an aluminum foil reflective film 14 bonded to the outside of the rock wool insulation sleeve 13, and an insulation cotton sleeve 15 bonded to the outside of the aluminum foil reflective film 14. The rock wool insulation sleeve 13, the aluminum foil reflective film 14, and the insulation cotton sleeve 15 have a good insulation effect, thereby effectively reducing heat loss and improving the insulation effect.
[0029] It should be noted that there are two of each of the rock wool insulation sleeve 13, aluminum foil reflective film 14, and insulation cotton sleeve 15. The rock wool insulation sleeve 13, aluminum foil reflective film 14, and insulation cotton sleeve 15 are all semi-circular in shape. The semi-circular shape of the rock wool insulation sleeve 13, aluminum foil reflective film 14, and insulation cotton sleeve 15 makes it easier for workers to layer and wrap the insulation structure onto the outside of the tank body 1.
[0030] Specifically, the cleaning agent storage tank 3 and the water storage tank 4 are the same size, and both the delivery pipe 11 and the drain pipe 12 are equipped with solenoid valves.
[0031] In this embodiment, an electric heating tube 16 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the tank 1, and a temperature sensor 17 is installed on the outer side of the tank 1. The electric heating tube 16 can achieve the effect of heating and heat preservation, and the temperature sensor 17 can monitor the temperature change inside the tank 1 in real time.
[0032] In this embodiment, a hot water pipe 18 is fixedly installed on the right side of the tank 1, and a pressure relief pipe 19 is fixedly installed on the left side of the tank 1. A safety valve is installed on the outside of the pressure relief pipe 19. The pressure relief pipe 19 and the safety valve automatically release pressure when the steam pressure inside the tank 1 exceeds the set threshold to avoid the risk of explosion.
[0033] It should be noted that a water tank 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 2, and a filter plate 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 20. The tank body 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 2. A drain pipe is fixedly connected to the left side of the water tank 20. The water tank 20 and the filter plate 21 can filter the cleaning agent and water discharged from the drain pipe 12 to separate large particles of residue, making it easier to clean.
[0034] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0035] During use, the hot water pipe 18 introduces hot water into the tank 1 for temporary storage. At this time, the electric heating element 16 provides heating and insulation. The temperature sensor 17 monitors the temperature changes inside the tank 1 in real time. The pressure relief pipe 19 and safety valve automatically release pressure when the steam pressure inside the tank 1 exceeds a set threshold to prevent the risk of explosion. After the hot water is extracted from the tank 1 and the inner wall needs cleaning, the worker can inject cleaning agent into the conical hollow turntable 6 sequentially through the feed pipe 10, which connects to the cleaning agent storage tank 3 and the water storage tank 4. Add detergent and water to clean the limescale left by hot water. Use acetic acid solution as the detergent. During this process, start the rotary motor 5, which will drive the conical hollow turntable 6 to rotate clockwise at a low speed. Because the center of gravity of the conical hollow turntable 6 is low, the superposition of gravity and centrifugal force during low-speed rotation increases the pressure at the bottom of the conical hollow turntable 6. This causes the detergent and water to be sprayed in a rotating manner from the mesh of the interceptor net 9 at the outlet 8 to the surrounding inner wall, so as to automatically clean the inner wall of the tank. During the cleaning process, the detergent and water will be discharged from the drain pipe 12.
[0036] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods, and any method that achieves the desired beneficial effect can be implemented. Furthermore, all electrical components in this embodiment are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional, known device such as a computer that performs control functions. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming, and the existing disclosed power connection technologies are common knowledge in the field. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate further on their specific structural composition and working principles.
[0037] The embodiments described above merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be defined by the appended claims.
