Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical product storage and transportation technology, specifically a transit storage and transportation integrated tank to prevent cross-contamination. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of chemical product processing and storage, the transfer of liquid or powdered chemicals (such as water treatment agents, disinfectants, carbon sources, etc.) often faces problems such as cross-contamination, low cleaning efficiency, and insufficient transportation stability. Traditional storage and transportation equipment mostly uses fixed single storage tanks or compartmentalized containers. Although these can achieve basic storage functions, they have significant shortcomings in practical applications. For example, when the same storage tank is repeatedly loaded with different products, the inside of the tank needs to be cleaned frequently to avoid residual contamination. Especially for highly reactive or corrosive chemicals (such as sodium hypochlorite and sodium acetate), manual cleaning is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also poses safety risks. While compartmentalized storage tanks can separate and store different materials, their compartment capacity is fixed, making it difficult to adapt to diverse product needs. Moreover, the complex structure of the partitions can easily create dead corners during cleaning, leading to secondary contamination. In addition, vibration or tilting of the storage tank during transportation may cause liquid sloshing, stratification, or even leakage, affecting product quality.

[0003] In existing technologies, some improved solutions employ a detachable inner tank design to reduce cross-contamination; however, such solutions still have limitations: inner tank installation relies on manual alignment, which is cumbersome and difficult to guarantee sealing; the lack of a dynamic fixing structure makes the inner tank prone to displacement or collision during transportation, increasing the risk of leakage; at the same time, traditional storage tanks have limited functions and lack integrated protective measures (such as anti-oxidation and moisture protection), leading to decreased stability of perishable products (such as ferrous sulfate and glucose) during handling. These problems restrict the efficiency and safety of chemical transshipment, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, where high cleaning costs and potential product losses further compress profit margins. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated transfer and storage tank that prevents cross-contamination. It can solve the technical problems of high risk of cross-contamination, low cleaning efficiency and poor transportation reliability in the prior art, and meet the needs of efficient turnover of multiple types and small batches of chemicals.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a transfer and storage integrated tank to prevent cross-contamination, including a base, a movable wheel at the bottom of the base, a fixed outer shell on the base, an internal rotating cylinder that can rotate axially inside the fixed outer shell, and multiple storage tanks inside the internal rotating cylinder.

[0006] One end of the fixed outer shell and the inner rotating cylinder in the same direction is an open end. The storage tank is installed into the inner rotating cylinder from the open end. The other end of the fixed outer shell has an opening. The other end of the inner rotating cylinder is a closed end and is placed in the opening at one end of the fixed outer shell. A rotating wheel is provided on the closed end of the inner rotating cylinder.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the fixed outer shell is provided with at least two annular grooves, and a plurality of first guide wheels are arranged circumferentially within the annular grooves, with the first guide wheels contacting the outer wall of the inner rotating cylinder.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the inner rotating cylinder is provided with multiple sets of first annular protrusions, the number of which is the same as the number of annular grooves. Each set of first annular protrusions includes two protrusions. Multiple first guide wheels are located in a single annular groove, with the first guide wheels positioned between the two protrusions of the single set of first annular protrusions.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the inner rotating drum is provided with a partition, which divides the interior of the inner rotating drum into multiple compartments, and a storage tank is installed in each compartment.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the partition plate is provided with an opening, and a second guide wheel is provided in the opening. The two sides of the second guide wheel extend into the compartments on both sides of the partition plate and contact the outer wall of the storage tank in the compartment.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a magnetic suction plate is provided on the inner wall of the closed end of the internal rotating cylinder, and the magnetic suction plate is connected to the bottom of the storage tank by magnetic attraction.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a second annular protrusion is provided on the outer wall of the internal rotating cylinder portion passing through the opening at one end of the fixed housing, and the second annular protrusion cooperates with the groove on the wall surface of the opening at one end of the fixed housing.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a discharge pipe is provided on the end wall of the storage tank that faces the same direction as the opening of the internal rotating drum.

[0014] The integrated transfer and storage tank for preventing cross-contamination provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects by adopting the above-described structure:

[0015] (1) Through the modular design of the internal rotating drum and independent storage tank, different chemicals can be stored in separate areas. The storage tank can be quickly disassembled from the opening end of the rotating drum, avoiding the tedious process of repeated cleaning of traditional storage tanks, and reducing the risk of residual pollution. It is especially suitable for the turnover of highly active or corrosive products (such as sodium hypochlorite and sodium acetate).

[0016] (2) The internal rotating drum forms a multi-point rolling support structure by cooperating with the first guide wheel in the annular groove and the first annular protrusion, which effectively buffers the vibration and tilt during transportation. At the same time, the rotating drum can be used to adjust different storage tanks to the bottom for discharge operation. The second guide wheel on the partition plate is in flexible contact with the outer wall of the storage tank, which further reduces the collision and friction of the tank body, prevents liquid stratification or leakage, and facilitates the loading and unloading operation of the storage tank on the internal rotating drum.

[0021] like Figure 1-2 In the present invention, a transshipment and storage tank for preventing cross-contamination includes a base 1, a movable wheel 2 at the bottom of the base 1, a fixed outer shell 3 on the base 1, an inner rotating cylinder 4 that can rotate axially inside the fixed outer shell 3, and a plurality of storage tanks 9 inside the inner rotating cylinder 4.

[0022] One end of the fixed outer shell 3 and the inner rotating cylinder 4 in the same direction is an open end. The storage tank 9 is installed into the inner rotating cylinder 4 from the open end. The other end of the fixed outer shell 3 has an opening. The other end of the inner rotating cylinder 4 is a closed end and is placed in the opening at one end of the fixed outer shell 3. A rotating wheel 13 is provided on the closed end of the inner rotating cylinder 4.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the fixed outer shell 3 is provided with at least two annular grooves 5, and a plurality of first guide wheels 6 are arranged circumferentially within the annular grooves 5, the first guide wheels 6 being in contact with the outer wall of the inner rotating cylinder 4.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the inner rotating cylinder 4 is provided with multiple sets of first annular protrusions 7, the same number as the number of annular grooves 5. Each set of first annular protrusions 7 includes two protrusions. Multiple first guide wheels 6 are located in a single annular groove 5, with the first guide wheels 6 positioned between the two protrusions of the single set of first annular protrusions 7.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the inner rotating cylinder 4 is provided with a partition 8, which divides the interior of the inner rotating cylinder 4 into multiple compartments, and a storage tank 9 is installed in each compartment.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the partition 8 is provided with an opening 14, and a second guide wheel 15 is provided in the opening 14. The two sides of the second guide wheel 15 extend into the compartments on both sides of the partition 8 and contact the outer wall of the storage tank 9 in the compartment.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, a magnetic suction plate 11 is provided on the inner wall of the closed end of the internal rotating cylinder 4, and the magnetic suction plate 11 is connected to the bottom of the storage tank 9 by magnetic attraction.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a second annular protrusion 12 is provided on the outer wall of the inner rotating cylinder 4 that passes through the opening at one end of the fixed outer shell 3. The second annular protrusion 12 cooperates with the groove on the wall surface of the opening at one end of the fixed outer shell 3.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, a discharge pipe 10 is provided on the end wall of the storage tank 9 and the inner rotating cylinder 4, both facing the same direction.

[0030] The integrated transfer and storage tank for preventing cross-contamination disclosed in this utility model, when loading storage tank 9:

[0031] Align the open end of the inner rotating cylinder 4 (the side closest to the operator) with the open port of the fixed outer casing 3, and manually rotate the rotating wheel 13 to drive the inner rotating cylinder 4 to rotate, so that the target compartment is aligned with the open end. Push the storage tank 9 into the compartment, and the bottom of the tank will automatically adhere and be fixed to the magnetic suction plate 11 at the closed end of the inner rotating cylinder 4.

[0032] When the device is in the transfer operation, the storage tank 9 moves together with the base 1. The eight first guide wheels 6 made of nylon installed in the two annular grooves 5 on the inner wall of the fixed outer shell 3 roll into contact with the first annular protrusion 7 on the outer wall of the inner rotating cylinder 4 to disperse the vibration energy. At the same time, the second guide wheel 15 on the partition 8 abuts against the outer wall of the storage tank 9 to prevent the tank from shaking.
