Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid transportation technology, and in particular to a liquid transportation vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The transportation of liquids such as alcoholic beverages often utilizes ordinary tank trucks, which have a simple structure consisting only of a vehicle body and a tank. While these tank trucks can perform basic liquid transportation functions, they have several drawbacks, such as cumbersome loading and unloading, a high risk of leakage and waste, and low efficiency. Cleaning and disinfection of the vehicles are inconvenient, making it difficult to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the transport containers and potentially contaminating subsequently transported liquids. Furthermore, each truck can only carry the same type of liquid, resulting in limited flexibility. To improve transportation efficiency and facilitate cleaning, existing technologies have modified the loading and unloading methods of vehicles. For example, specialized container transfer vehicles with fully openable wing doors and side operating doors have been designed to facilitate loading, unloading, and dispensing of palletized tank units, improving work efficiency. Additionally, to enhance flexibility, existing technologies have modified the tank bodies, dividing them into multiple independent spaces. However, when transporting the same liquid, each tank must be filled and unloaded separately, resulting in low efficiency. Maintaining uniform liquid distribution also requires controlling the liquid load in each tank, further complicating operation and reducing loading and unloading efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a liquid transport vehicle with high efficiency in liquid filling and disassembly, good flexibility in use, and good cleanability.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A liquid transport vehicle, comprising:

[0006] The vehicle body includes a front end and a platform, and tires are provided under both the front end and the platform.

[0007] The chassis is detachably connected to the vehicle platform. Two rows of liquid tanks are arranged on the chassis at intervals along the width direction of the vehicle platform. Each row of liquid tanks forms multiple receiving cavities distributed along the length direction of the vehicle platform. A switch is provided between each two adjacent receiving cavities to control the opening and closing of the two adjacent receiving cavities.

[0008] There are two main inlet and outlet pipes, and each row of liquid tanks is provided with a branch pipe. The multiple branch pipes are connected to the multiple receiving cavities one by one. Each branch pipe is provided with a first valve. Each main inlet and outlet pipe is connected to the multiple branch pipes located in the same row.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of a liquid transport vehicle, each of the inlet and outlet manifolds has a main inlet and outlet and multiple branch inlets and outlets. The ends of the multiple branch manifolds that are away from the receiving cavity are connected to the multiple branch inlets and outlets in a one-to-one correspondence. A second valve is provided on each inlet and outlet manifold near the main inlet and outlet, and the second valve is used to control the opening and closing of the inlet and outlet manifold.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of a liquid transport vehicle, it also includes a liquid pump mounted on the underframe, one port of which is detachably connected to the main inlet / outlet of the main inlet / outlet pipe.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of a liquid transport vehicle, each of the receiving cavities is equipped with a high-level liquid level gauge and a low-level liquid level gauge. The high-level liquid level gauge is higher than the low-level liquid level gauge. The high-level liquid level gauge is used to detect whether the liquid level in the receiving cavity is higher than a first preset liquid level, and the low-level liquid level gauge is used to detect whether the liquid level in the receiving cavity is lower than a second preset liquid level.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of a liquid transport vehicle, it also includes a controller, wherein each of the high-level liquid level gauges, each of the low-level liquid level gauges, and each of the first valves are electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is used to acquire the detection signals of the high-level liquid level gauges and the low-level liquid level gauges, and to control the opening and closing of each of the first valves.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of a liquid transport vehicle, the switching element is a third valve, each row of liquid tanks includes multiple boxes arranged along the length of the vehicle body, each box forming a receiving cavity, and the third valve is provided between each two adjacent boxes.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of a liquid transport vehicle, each of the containers is provided with an opening at the top, and the opening is provided with an openable and closable sealing cover.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of a liquid transport vehicle, each of the containers is equipped with a visual level gauge for displaying the liquid level within the containment cavity.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of a liquid transport vehicle, each of the containers has a vent valve connected to its top.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This utility model provides a liquid transport vehicle, which includes a vehicle body, a chassis, and two inlet / outlet main pipes.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment provides a liquid transport vehicle, which includes a vehicle body 1, a chassis 2, and two inlet / outlet manifolds 4. The vehicle body 1 includes a cab 11 and a platform 12. Both the cab 11 and the platform 12 are equipped with running tires. The cab 11 houses the driver's cab and control room for controlling the overall operation of the liquid transport vehicle. The chassis 2 is detachably connected to the platform 12. Two rows of liquid tanks 3 are spaced apart along the width of the platform 12 on the chassis 2. For example, the four corners of the chassis 2 are detachably connected to the platform 12 via locking tongues and locking seats. The locking tongue and locking seat are relatively mature existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here. For example, they can be detachably connected by bolts. Each row of liquid tanks 3 forms multiple receiving cavities distributed along the length of the vehicle plate 12. A switch is provided between each two adjacent receiving cavities to control the opening and closing of the two adjacent receiving cavities. Each row of liquid tanks 3 is provided with a branch pipe 5. Multiple branch pipes 5 are connected to multiple receiving cavities one by one. Each branch pipe 5 is provided with a first valve. Each inlet and outlet main pipe 4 is connected to multiple branch pipes 5 located in the same row. The detachable connection between the base frame 2 and the platform 12 allows the base frame 2, which carries the liquid tank 3, to be easily removed from the platform 12 for cleaning and maintenance, ensuring the cleanliness of the transported liquid and preventing contamination and deterioration. The two rows of separately arranged liquid tanks 3 facilitate inspection or other operations between the rows. The on / off switch between each pair of adjacent compartments allows for the transport of one or more liquids as needed, effectively ensuring uniform liquid distribution and thus guaranteeing the stability and safety of the liquid transport vehicle. Furthermore, the two main inlet / outlet pipes 4 and multiple branch pipes 5 enable simultaneous filling and unloading of several compartments, improving loading and unloading efficiency. The liquids can be spirits, beer, oil, water, milk, etc.

[0031] Preferably, a walkway 7 is also provided on the base frame 2 between the two rows of liquid tanks 3, so that operators can move on the walkway 7 to observe or inspect the two rows of liquid tanks 3 from the vehicle. More preferably, a climbing frame is also provided on the base frame 2, so that operators can climb onto the walkway 7 on the base frame 2 loaded on the vehicle platform 12.

[0032] In this embodiment, each main inlet / outlet pipe 4 has a main inlet / outlet and multiple branch inlets / outlets. The ends of the branch pipes 5 opposite to the receiving cavity are connected to the branch inlets / outlets one-to-one. A second valve 6 is installed on each main inlet / outlet pipe 4 near the main inlet / outlet. The second valve 6 controls the opening and closing of the main inlet / outlet pipe 4. During liquid filling, by opening and closing the second valve 6 and selectively opening and closing each first valve according to the required receiving cavity, the liquid can be controlled to flow from the main inlet / outlet pipe 4 into the selected branch pipe 5 and then into the selected receiving cavity.

[0033] It should be noted that each row of liquid tanks 3 is also equipped with multiple independent inlets and outlets that correspond one-to-one with multiple receiving cavities. These independent inlets and outlets are connected to independent inlet and outlet pipes, and independent control valves are installed at the independent inlets and outlets or within the independent inlet and outlet pipes. When multiple different types of liquids need to be transported, the liquids to be filled into the receiving cavities can be filled through the independent inlet and outlet pipes, thus avoiding cross-contamination or mixing of different types of liquids caused by filling through the main inlet and outlet pipe 4. Of course, in other embodiments, the simultaneous transport of different types of liquids can also be achieved through other methods. For example, both ends of the main inlet and outlet pipe 4 can be connected to the external environment, with one end being the main inlet and outlet and the other end being a free port. A second valve 6 is installed at the main inlet and outlet, and a fourth valve is installed at the free port. After filling with one type of liquid, the main inlet and outlet pipe 4 is flushed with clean water. The clean water enters from the main inlet and outlet and exits from the free port to completely flush the main inlet and outlet pipe 4. After cleaning, the main inlet and outlet pipe 4 can be connected to another type of liquid, and the first valves on several branch pipes 5 can be opened and closed as needed. The main inlet and outlet are located at the rear end of the vehicle platform 12, which is convenient for operators to use.

[0034] Preferably, the liquid transport vehicle also includes a liquid pump 20, which is mounted on the base frame 2. One end of the liquid pump 20 is detachably connected to a main inlet / outlet pipe 4. When filling or unloading liquid, one end of the liquid pump 20 is connected to the main inlet / outlet, for example, through a pipe, and the other end is connected to the container holding the liquid or the container to be unloaded containing the liquid. Turning on the liquid pump 20 allows liquid to be filled into or unloaded from the liquid tank 3. Of course, in practical applications, the liquid pump 20 on the base frame 2 or an additional liquid pump 20 can be used as needed; for example, different types of liquids may require different liquid pumps 20.

[0035] Specifically, the switching element is a third valve. Each row of liquid tanks 3 includes multiple boxes arranged along the length of the vehicle body 12, each box forming a receiving cavity. A third valve is provided between every two adjacent boxes. By controlling the opening and closing of the third valve, the connection between two adjacent receiving cavities can be controlled, so that the overall size of each independent space can be controlled as needed. For example, when it is necessary to use a receiving cavity larger than one but smaller than two receiving cavities to hold the same liquid, the third valve between the two boxes is opened, so that the two adjacent receiving cavities are connected. Only one independent inlet and outlet needs to be connected to fill the two receiving cavities with liquid at the same time, and the liquid in the two receiving cavities is automatically and evenly distributed, ensuring the stability of the vehicle body 1. Compared with filling two separate receiving cavities separately, not only is the filling and unloading efficiency higher, but the transportation safety of the liquid transport vehicle is also higher.

[0036] In this design, each row of liquid tanks 3 has multiple partition plates spaced along the length of the vehicle platform 12. These partition plates divide the internal space of the liquid tank 3 into multiple compartments, effectively dividing the liquid tank 3 into multiple boxes. Each partition plate has a through-hole, and a third valve is installed at the through-hole, for example, by installing a through-hole pipe with a third valve inside. Alternatively, each box can be an independent structure, with adjacent boxes arranged close together or spaced apart, and a through-hole pipe connecting two adjacent side walls, with a third valve inside the through-hole. Of course, in other embodiments, the structure of each row of liquid tanks 3 can also be different, and the through-hole components can also have other structures, such as a lifting plate installed inside the liquid tank 3, which can achieve spatial separation or opening by lifting.

[0037] Preferably, each box has an opening at the top, and an openable sealing cover 8 is provided at the opening. By opening and closing the sealing cover 8, the operator can intuitively understand the internal condition of each box, and it is also convenient to clean the inside of the box from the opening.

[0038] Preferably, each box is equipped with a vent valve 10 at the top to facilitate the discharge of gas from the box and ensure the air pressure balance inside the box.

[0039] Furthermore, each tank is equipped with a visual level gauge 9, which displays the liquid level inside the containment chamber, allowing for intuitive external observation and recording of the liquid level within each tank, thus enabling real-time monitoring of the liquid capacity within each tank. The visual level gauge 9 may be, but is not limited to, a magnetic level gauge.

[0040] Furthermore, each receiving cavity is equipped with a high-level gauge and a low-level gauge. The high-level gauge is positioned higher than the low-level gauge. The high-level gauge detects whether the liquid level in the receiving cavity is higher than a first preset level, while the low-level gauge detects whether the liquid level is lower than a second preset level. By installing these high-level and low-level gauges, operators can easily monitor whether the liquid level in each receiving cavity has reached the warning line, preventing overfilling during filling and avoiding the liquid pump 20 operating without load during unloading.

[0041] Preferably, the liquid transport vehicle further includes a controller. Each high-level liquid level gauge, each low-level liquid level gauge, and each first valve are electrically connected to the controller. The controller is used to acquire the detection signals from the high-level and low-level liquid level gauges and to control the opening and closing of each first valve. During liquid filling, when the liquid level in a certain chamber reaches a first preset level, the corresponding high-level liquid level gauge detects a signal and transmits it to the controller. The controller then controls the corresponding first valve to close based on this signal, thus ending the filling of that chamber. During liquid unloading, when the liquid level in a certain chamber falls below a second preset level, the corresponding low-level liquid level gauge detects a signal and transmits it to the controller. The controller then controls the corresponding first valve to close, thus ending the unloading of that chamber. This automatic control by the controller allows for a fast response time and precise control of the liquid volume in each chamber.

[0042] It should be noted that the second valve 6, the third valve, the fourth valve, and the independently controlled valves can be manual valves or electrically controlled valves. The electrically controlled valves are all electrically connected to the controller, and the opening and closing of each valve is realized through the controller, which has a high degree of automation and precision.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
