Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fluid chemical product packaging, specifically to an adjustable pressure chemical drum. Background Technology

[0002] Chemical drums are containers used to hold chemical raw materials and are widely used in chemical enterprises. They are currently the ideal choice for long-distance transportation of chemical products. However, during transportation, when moving from low-altitude areas to high-altitude areas or when the temperature changes from low to high, some chemical raw materials will evaporate, changing from a liquid to a gaseous state. This causes the air pressure in the sealed environment to increase continuously, which may lead to the expansion of the drum or even an explosion. Conversely, when moving from high-altitude areas to low-altitude areas or when the temperature changes from high to low, some chemical raw materials will condense, changing from a gaseous state to a liquid state. This causes the air pressure in the sealed environment to decrease continuously, reducing the pressure inside the chemical drum and causing adverse phenomena such as drum collapse or suction, affecting the appearance of the goods or causing damage to the drum itself.

[0003] A utility model patent with publication number "CN205802092U" discloses an anti-expansion plastic chemical drum. The drum has a pressure relief hole at the top with a pressure relief valve. A pressure gauge and alarm indicator light are located at the bottom of the drum, and a control device is installed on the surface of the drum. When the pressure inside the chemical drum exceeds a warning value, the control device sounds an alarm, the alarm indicator light flashes, and the pressure relief valve opens to release pressure, bringing the pressure inside the chemical drum back to normal. However, this structure has the following problems: the pressure relief operation is cumbersome, and it cannot prevent the drum from collapsing or sucking in when the pressure inside the chemical drum is lower than atmospheric pressure. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the aforementioned problems in the prior art by providing an adjustable pressure chemical drum. The invention features an air inlet cover and an air vent cover on the chemical drum, which balances the pressure inside the drum with atmospheric pressure, preventing the drum from expanding or collapsing.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an adjustable pressure chemical drum includes a drum body and a drum lid.

[0007] Furthermore, the vent cover is longitudinally provided with through holes, including through holes three and four located on the top and bottom walls of the vent cover respectively, and the two are interconnected; a second telescopic device is provided inside the vent cover, the second telescopic device includes a spring two and a conical plug two, the conical plug two is located inside the vent cover with its conical head facing through hole four, and the two ends of the spring two abut against the top wall of the vent cover and the conical plug two, and the spring two is in a compressed state in its natural state.

[0009] Furthermore, the air intake cover and the air vent cover are equipped with sealing rings.

[0010] Furthermore, the air inlet cover and the air vent cover are respectively connected to the barrel body via threads.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting an air inlet cover and an air vent cover, when the pressure inside the barrel is less than atmospheric pressure, the first spring in the air inlet cover is compressed, and external air enters the barrel through the through hole; when the pressure inside the barrel is greater than atmospheric pressure, the second spring in the air vent cover is compressed, and the gas inside the barrel is discharged through the through hole; when the pressure inside the barrel is the same as atmospheric pressure, the first and second springs return to their original state, and the first and second conical plugs block the through hole, thereby adjusting the pressure of the chemical barrel.

[0025] The principles and features of this utility model are described below. The embodiments given are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1-8 As shown, an adjustable pressure chemical drum according to this embodiment includes a drum body 1 and a drum lid. The drum lid includes an air inlet cover 2, an air vent cover 3, and an outer cover 4. The air inlet cover 2 and the air vent cover 3 are disposed on the top of the drum body 1. The air inlet cover 2 and the air vent cover 3 are used to adjust the air pressure inside the drum body 1 to balance the atmospheric pressure. The outer cover 4 covers the outside of the air inlet cover 2 and the air vent cover 3 and serves as a dust cover.

[0027] like Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the air inlet cover 2 is longitudinally provided with through holes, including through hole 5 and through hole 6 located on the top and bottom walls of the air inlet cover 2, respectively, and the two are interconnected; a first telescopic device is provided inside the air inlet cover 2, the first telescopic device including spring 7, connecting rod 14, conical plug 8 and baffle plate 9. The two ends of the connecting rod 14 are fixedly connected to conical plug 8 and baffle plate 9. Conical plug 8 is located inside the air inlet cover 2, below through hole 5, and the conical head of conical plug 8 faces through hole 5. Baffle plate 9 is located on the bottom side of air inlet cover 2. The two ends of spring 7 abut against conical plug 8 and bottom wall of air inlet cover 2. In its natural state, spring 7 is in a compressed state. Under the action of spring 7, conical plug 8 can block through hole 5, and at the same time, baffle plate 9 blocks through hole 6, maintaining the airtightness of the chemical drum. During the transportation of chemical drums, when the temperature drops or the drum is transported from a high-altitude area to a low-altitude area, the pressure inside the drum 1 decreases, the spring 7 is compressed, the conical plug 8 moves away from the through hole 5, and the baffle plate 9 moves away from the through hole 26. External gas enters the drum 1 through the through holes 5 and 26 to regulate the atmospheric pressure balance inside and outside the drum.

[0028] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the vent cover 3 has a through hole arranged longitudinally. The through hole includes a third through hole 10 and a fourth through hole 11 located on the top and bottom walls of the vent cover 3, respectively, and the two are interconnected. A second telescopic device is provided inside the vent cover 3. The second telescopic device includes a second spring 12 and a second conical plug 13. The second conical plug 13 is located inside the vent cover 3 with its conical head facing the fourth through hole 11. The two ends of the second spring 12 abut against the top wall of the vent cover 3 and the second conical plug 13. In its natural state, the second spring 12 is compressed. In the compressed state, the two ends of spring 12 are fixedly connected to the top wall of the vent cover 3 and the conical plug 13, respectively. In the initial state, the conical plug 13 blocks the through hole 11 to maintain the airtightness of the chemical drum. During the transportation of the chemical drum, when the temperature rises or when it is transported from a low-altitude area to a high-altitude area, the pressure inside the drum 1 increases, spring 12 is further compressed, and the conical plug 13 leaves the through hole 11. The gas inside the drum 1 is discharged through the through hole 11 and the hole 10 to regulate the atmospheric pressure balance inside and outside the drum.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a sealing ring is provided between the air inlet cover 2 and the air vent cover 3 and the barrel body 1. A sealing ring can also be provided at the contact points between the conical plug 18, the conical plug 23 and the contacting through hole, so as to improve the sealing performance between the air inlet cover 2, the air vent cover 3 and the barrel body 1, and ensure the airtightness of the chemical barrel in the non-pressure regulating state.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air cover 2 and the vent cover 3 are respectively connected to the barrel body 1 by threads, which makes disassembly convenient.

[0031] The above embodiments are used to further illustrate the present invention, but do not limit the present invention to these specific embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and variations made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be understood as being within the protection scope of the present invention.
