[0033] 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.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a tank cleaning machine, which mainly includes a water tank 2, a water pump 1, and a spray assembly 3. The inlet of the water pump 1 is connected to the water tank 2 through a pipe 4, and the outlet of the water pump 1 is connected to the spray assembly 3 through a pipe 4. A ball valve 7 is installed in the pipe 4 on the outlet side of the water pump 1 to control the start and stop of the water pump 1.

[0036] Combination Figures 3 to 7As shown, the spray assembly 3 is arranged around the tank conveyor chain to clean the tanks during the conveying process. The spray assembly 3 includes a loop tube 31 wrapped around the tank conveyor chain. One end of the loop tube 31 is connected to the water pump 1 through the pipe 4, and the other end is sealed by the quick-connect blind flange assembly 5. Four evenly distributed connecting pipe ends 311 are fixed on one side of the loop tube 31. Each connecting pipe end 311 is connected to a straight pipe 32 through the quick-connect clamp assembly 6. The end of the straight pipe 32 away from the loop tube 31 is sealed by the quick-connect blind flange assembly 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, four straight pipes 32 are wrapped around the tank conveyor chain and parallel to the conveying direction of the tank conveyor chain. The four straight pipes 32 are rectangularly distributed and are arranged on both sides of the tank conveyor chain, as well as above and below the tank conveyor chain. Each straight pipe 32 has a row of nozzles 33 connected to the side facing the tank conveyor chain, realizing comprehensive cleaning of the tanks on the tank conveyor chain. In addition, multiple bends 34 are connected to both sides of the upper straight pipe 32. The far ends of the bends 34 are vertically downward, and nozzles 33 are installed at the ends of the bends 34, expanding the cleaning area of ​​the entire spray assembly 3 and improving the cleaning quality of the tanks.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Based on the above embodiment one, as follows Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the water tank 2 is located below the spray assembly 3 to recover some of the cleaning water. A filter assembly is added to the water tank 2 to filter the water entering the pipe 4. By recycling the spray water, the water consumption for the cleaning operation is reduced.

[0040] In this embodiment, two sets of spray assembly 3, water pump 1, and water tank 2 are symmetrically arranged. The two sets of spray assembly 3 are symmetrically arranged around the center of the tank conveyor chain, and the corresponding straight pipes 32 in the two sets of spray assembly 3 are arranged on the same straight line. By setting two sets of spray assembly 3 to clean the tank twice, the cleaning quality of the tank is improved while realizing the recycling of spray water, ensuring that the tank is clean.

[0041] Work process:

[0042] Water pump 1 draws water from water tank 2 and inputs it into spray assembly 3; the solid tank conveyor chain runs between each straight pipe 32. During the process of the tank being transported on the solid tank conveyor chain, the nozzles spray the tank, and most of the water will fall into the water tank 2 below, realizing the recycling of water resources.

[0043] Example 3:

[0044] Based on the above embodiment two, as follows Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the conveyor chain for the full tank is supported on a lifting bracket, which allows the position of the conveyor chain to be adjusted at a certain height. The lifting bracket includes supports 8 at both ends and a pair of side plates 9 fixed between the two supports 8. The conveyor chain for the full tank is installed on the inner wall of the two side plates 9. Each side plate 9 is formed by joining multiple flat plates together, facilitating the selection of a suitable length. Through holes are provided on the side plates 9 to facilitate the installation of the spray assembly 3. A connecting plate 81 is slidably installed on the support 8, and the connecting plate 81 can slide up and down on the support 8. After the position of the connecting plate 81 is adjusted, the connecting plate 81 is fixed to the support 8 by positioning bolts. The side plates 9 are fixed on the connecting plates 81 and their height can be adjusted along with the connecting plates 81.

[0045] In this embodiment, the position of the tank conveyor chain can be adjusted at a certain height using a lifting bracket, enabling the cleaning machine to adapt to tanks of different heights and sizes, thus improving the equipment's versatility and adaptability. The lifting bracket adopts a combination design of support, connecting plate, and side upright plate, which is structurally stable and reliable, and facilitates the selection of a suitable length to accommodate tank conveyor chains of different lengths.

[0046] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0047] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
