[0026] 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 and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model; that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] The following is combined Figure 1-6 This invention describes a specific embodiment of a tank tilting and cleaning device, comprising:

[0029] The fixed support 1 includes a left support 11 and a right support 12. A support platform 111 is formed on the left support 11. A certain gap is formed between the left support 11 and the right support 12 for supporting and fixing the reaction vessel. In the process of tantalum powder preparation, the reaction vessel after sodium reduction reaction must be lined with a bottom, cleaned and dried before it can be put into use again. The fixed support 1 is used as a cleaning support for the reaction reduction vessel.

[0030] The loading container 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed support 1. The bottom of the loading container 2 is provided with a locking plate 231. The locking plate 231 has a clearance hole 232 for the reactor lifting ring to pass through. The loading container 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed support 1. The loading container 2 is used as a carrier for loading the reactor. By loading the reaction reduction vessel into the loading container 2, and at the same time, the loading container 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed support 1, so that the reaction reduction vessel is rotated synchronously when the loading container 2 is rotated, and finally the reaction vessel is flipped over to perform a comprehensive cleaning treatment of the reaction vessel, so as to avoid incomplete cleaning of reagents due to the limitation of the cleaning angle of the reaction vessel after the reduction reaction.

[0031] A flipping mechanism 3 is installed on the support platform 111. The output end of the flipping mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the loading container 2. The flipping mechanism 3 is used to drive the loading container 2 to flip on the fixed support 1. The flipping mechanism 3 is the driving component for the loading container 2 to rotate on the fixed support 1. The two ends of the loading container 2 are rotatably connected to the fixed support 1. The flipping mechanism 3 is connected to the left support 11, so that the output end of the flipping mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts. Finally, the flipping mechanism 3 is used to drive the loading container 2 and the reaction vessel loaded in the loading container 2 to flip and rotate on the fixed support 1 to perform a comprehensive cleaning of the reaction vessel.

[0032] A limiting mechanism 4 is installed on the loading container 2. The limiting mechanism 4 includes a limiting plate 42, which is used to limit the position of the reactor after it is installed in the loading container 2. After the reactor is loaded into the loading container 2, the limiting mechanism 4 limits the position of the reactor in the loading container 2 to prevent it from bumping against the fixed support 1 due to overturning in the loading container 2. The limiting mechanism 4 can improve the stability of the reactor installed in the loading container 2.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, the loading container 2 includes an upper ring body 21, a middle ring body 22, and a lower ring body 23 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The upper ring body 21, the middle ring body 22, and the lower ring body 23 are fixedly connected by a connecting plate 24. An mounting plate 34 is fixedly provided at the end of the connecting plate 24 away from the loading container 2. The fixed connection between the upper ring body 21, the middle ring body 22, the lower ring body 23, and the connecting plate 24 forms a hollow loading container 2. This structure can increase the contact area between the outer wall of the reactor and the cleaning liquid during reactor cleaning.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-3As shown, the mounting plate 34 is symmetrically distributed along the upper ring 21, and its end away from the loading container 2 is connected to the flipping mechanism 3. The two ends of the mounting plate 34 are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting plate 24 and the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed bracket 1 through the bearing seat, so that the loading container 2 can be rotatably connected to the fixed bracket 1 to provide loading space for the reaction vessel to be cleaned.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the mounting plate 34 is located between the upper ring body 21 and the middle ring body 22. The mounting plate 34 is located at the center of the reactor along its length, and distributes the torque evenly to the rotation of the reactor after it is loaded, thereby reducing the output force required to drive the reactor to rotate.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 2-4 As shown, the tilting mechanism 3 includes a worm gear 32, which is rotatably connected to the support platform 111. The worm gear 32 is fixedly connected to one of the mounting plates 34 via a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed bracket 1 via a bearing seat. A worm 33 is meshed and driven on one side of the worm gear 32, and a tilting handwheel 31 is fixedly mounted on the worm 33. The worm gear 32 is rotatably connected to the top of the support platform 111 via a mounting seat, and one end of the worm gear 32 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The other end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 34, and the rotating shaft rotates on the fixed bracket 1. That is, the rotation of the worm gear 32 will drive the mounting plate 34 and the loading container 2 to rotate synchronously. One side of 32 is engaged with a worm gear 33, and one end of the worm gear 33 is fixedly connected to a transmission component. The transmission component can be a manually operated rotating handwheel 31 or an electrically driven power device. The rotating handwheel 31 is used to manually drive the worm gear 33. In addition, the worm gear 33 can also be connected to a power device to realize the fully automatic rotation of the loading container 2. In this embodiment, by manually rotating the rotating handwheel 31, the rotating handwheel 31 drives the worm gear 33 to engage synchronously with the worm, thereby realizing the rotation of the loading container 2 on the fixed support 1. Finally, the reaction vessel loaded in the loading container 2 is rotated to facilitate cleaning of the reaction vessel and to completely pour out the reagents or cleaning liquid accumulated inside the reaction vessel.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4As shown, the locking plate 231 is provided with a fixing plate 233, which is fixedly connected to the locking plate 231. A pin hole 234 is provided on the fixing plate 233, which is used for locking and positioning the reactor in the loading container 2. The locking plate 231 is fixedly connected to the lower ring body 23, and the fixing plate 233 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the fixing plate 233. The pin hole 234 is provided on the fixing plate 233. During the installation of the reactor, by passing the lifting ring end of the reactor through the relief hole 232 and inserting the positioning pin in the pin hole 234, the positioning pin passes through the relief hole 232 and the lifting ring of the reactor simultaneously, so as to prevent the reactor loaded into the loading container 2 from slipping due to rotation.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the limiting mechanism 4 includes a threaded hole 41 located on the upper ring body 21. A screw 43 is threadedly fitted into the threaded hole 41. One end of the screw 43 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 42, and the other end of the screw 43 is fixedly provided with a limiting handwheel 44. The threaded hole 41 is formed on the upper ring body 21, and the screw 43 is threadedly fitted into the threaded hole 41. One end of the screw 43 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 42, while the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting handwheel 44. By holding the limiting handwheel 44, the screw 43 is rotated, so that the screw 43 and the threaded hole 41 are threadedly fitted, which can change the position of the upper ring body 21 on the upper ring body 21. Finally, the limiting plate 42 is adjusted to abut against the reactor, thereby limiting the other end of the reactor and preventing it from shaking around because the diameter of the reactor is smaller than the diameter of the upper ring body 21, thus preventing collisions with the loading container 2.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, multiple limiting mechanisms 4 are provided, and the multiple limiting mechanisms 4 are distributed in a circumferential array along the upper ring body 21. The multiple limiting mechanisms 4 can improve the stability of the connection between the reactor and the loading container 2, so as to prevent the reactor from shaking around in the loading container 2 when it is overturned.

[0040] Working principle of this utility model:

[0041] Rotate the loading container 2 so that the opening faces the direction, and adjust the position of the limiting plate 42 so that the reactor can pass through the upper ring body 21;

[0042] With the lifting ring end of the reactor facing downwards, pass the lifting ring through the clearance hole 232, and insert the pin into the pin hole 234 opened on the fixing plate 233. The pin passes through the pin hole 234 and the reactor lifting ring simultaneously. The connection between the bottom of the reactor and the loading container 2 is achieved by the insertion and engagement between the pin and the pin hole 234, so as to prevent the reactor from slipping when the loading container 2 is tilted.

[0043] By rotating the handwheel 44, the screw 43 is engaged with the threaded hole 41. At the same time, the other end of the screw 43 rotates with the limiting plate 42. By continuously rotating the screw 43, the limiting plate 42 comes into contact with the reactor, thus limiting one end of the reactor with multiple limiting plates 42. This allows the loading container 2 to be adapted to reactors of different diameters. At the same time, it can prevent the reactor from colliding with the loading container 2 during rotation, effectively protecting the integrity of the outer wall of the reactor.

[0044] When cleaning the reactor, cleaning fluid is added to the reactor to clean the reagents remaining inside and on the inner wall. By rotating the worm gear 33, the worm gear 33 and the turbine mesh and drive each other. Since the turbine is rotatably connected to the fixed support 1, and one end is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the fixed support 1 through the bearing seat, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 24 through the mounting plate 34, the rotation of the worm gear 33 can realize the rotation of the loading container 2 on the fixed support 1, so as to tilt and pour out the reactor that is limited in the loading container 2, and pour out the residual reagents and cleaning fluid inside the reactor. At the same time, the tilt angle can be controlled to avoid accidental injury to personnel from tilting and splashing.

[0045] After cleaning, the reactor is rotated and then its upper and lower limiters are brought into contact, thus achieving a complete cleaning of the reactor.

[0046] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
