Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] As Figure 1 shown, an automatic flushing frame for tank truck tank opening includes a water tank 1, and further includes: a support 2 for arranging the water tank 1, the lower part of the support 2 being provided with an equipment table 21; a lifting mechanism 3 arranged on the equipment table 21, the lifting mechanism 3 including a lifting block 31; a hard pipeline 4 arranged at the bottom of the lifting block 31, the hard pipeline 4 being in communication with a hose 11, and the hose 11 being in communication with the water tank 1; an advancing frame 5 slidingly connected to the hard pipeline 4; a rotating mechanism 6 arranged at the top of the advancing frame 5, the rotating mechanism 6 being connected to the lifting block 31 through a telescopic rod 7; an adjusting frame 8 arranged at the bottom of the advancing frame 5, the adjusting frame 8 including a push-pull rod 81, a rotating rod 82 and a bottom support 83, the bottom support 83 being rotatably connected to the bottom of the hard pipeline 4; and an upper spray pipe 9 arranged on the rotating rod 82, the spray pipe 9 being in communication with the bottom support 83.

[0026] The front end of the lifting block 31 extends forward, and the length of the lifting block 31 is greater than the distance from the tank opening of the tank truck to the support 2, so as to ensure that the tank truck does not collide with the device when moving. In use, the truck can be parked below the lifting block 31 for cleaning.

[0027] The lifting mechanism 3 further comprises a first motor 32, a threaded rod 33 and a limiting rod 34, the fixed end of the first motor 32 is fixedly connected with the equipment table 21, the threaded rod 33 is fixedly connected with the output end of the first motor 32, the first motor 32 can drive the threaded rod 33 to rotate, the limiting rod 34 is fixedly connected with the equipment table 21, the limiting rod 34 is vertically arranged, the limiting rod 34 is arranged in parallel with the threaded rod 33, the lifting block 31 is screwed on the threaded rod 33, the lifting block 31 is slidingly connected with the limiting rod 34, and the threaded rod 33 drives the lifting block 31 to move up and down.

[0028] A communication device 311 is fixedly connected to the lifting block 31, one end of the communication device 311 is communicated with the top of the hard pipeline 4, and the other end of the communication device 311 is communicated with the hose 11. When the lifting block 31 moves up and down, the hard pipeline 4 moves together, at this time, the hose 11 does not affect the connection with the water tank 1 through its flexibility, the length of the hose 11 can meet the movement of the lifting block 31, the water in the water tank 1 enters the communication device 311 through the hose 11, and then enters the hard pipeline 4.

[0029] As shown in Figure 2 , the advancing frame 5 comprises a frame body 51, a sliding ring 52 and a rotating gear 53, the frame body 51 is four L-shaped vertical rods, the sliding ring 52 is an octagonal shape with a hole in the middle, the sliding ring 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame body 51, the sliding ring 52 is slidingly connected to the hard pipeline 4, and the rotating gear 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame body 51. The frame body 51, the sliding ring 52 and the rotating gear 53 move up and down synchronously, and can also relatively move with the hard pipeline 4.

[0030] As shown in Figure 3 , the rotating mechanism 6 comprises two annular slide rails 61, a support frame 62, a driving gear 63 and a second motor 64, the two annular slide rails 61 are arranged at the bottom and the top of the rotating gear 53 respectively, the support frame 62 is fixedly connected with the annular slide rails 61, the driving gear 63 is engaged with the rotating gear 53, the driving gear 63 is fixedly connected with the output end of the second motor 64, and the fixed end of the second motor 64 is fixedly connected with the support frame 62. When the second motor 64 is started to drive the driving gear 63 to rotate, the rotating gear 53 is further rotated, and finally the spray pipe 9 is rotated, so that the tank opening cleaning is more comprehensive.

[0031] The annular slide rails 61 are arranged at the side edges of the frame body 51, the rotating gear 53 is slidingly connected with the annular slide rails 61, the two annular slide rails 61 limit the rotating path of the rotating gear 53, the hard pipeline 4 penetrates through the rotating gear 53, and the hard pipeline 4 does not rotate synchronously with the rotating gear 53.

[0032] When the lifting block 31 moves, the rotating mechanism 6, the advancing frame 5 and the hard pipeline 4 move synchronously, when the telescopic rod 7 is extended or retracted, the rotating mechanism 6 and the advancing frame 5 move synchronously, and at this time, the hard pipeline 4 does not move.

[0033] As Figure 5 shown, the push-pull rod 81 is rotatably connected to the sliding ring 52 at one end, and rotatably connected to the side wall of the rotating rod 82 at the other end. The bottom of the rotating rod 82 is rotatably connected to the bottom support 83. When the sliding ring 52 moves downward while the rigid pipe 4 is stationary, the sliding ring 52 presses the push-pull rod 81 downward, causing the push-pull rod 81 to push the rotating rod 82 to expand outward. When the sliding ring 52 moves upward, the push-pull rod 81 drives the rotating rod 82 to rotate inward and contract. When the spray pipe 9 needs to enter the tank from the tank opening, the rotating rod 82 is contracted. After the spray pipe 9 enters the tank opening, the rotating rod 82 is expanded, allowing the spray pipe 9 to spray water around the tank opening. During the washing process, the second motor 64 is started to rotate the spray pipe 9, allowing the spray pipe 9 to spray water in all directions to thoroughly clean the inside of the tank opening.

[0034] The spray pipe 9 is clamped on the rotating rod 82, and the top end of the spray pipe 9 is provided with a water jet head 91. The water jet head 91 can increase the pressure of the water jet and change the shape of the water jet, making the tank opening cleaner.

[0035] The bottom support 83 is provided with a hollow tube 831, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rigid pipe 4. The bottom of the rigid pipe 4 is provided with a circular ring 41, and the inner wall of the hollow tube 831 is provided with a groove. The circular ring 41 is rotatably connected to the groove, and the bottom support 83 and the hollow tube 831 are connected to the sliding ring 52 through the adjusting frame 8 and rotate synchronously with the sliding ring 52. The bottom of the spray pipe 9 is inserted into the hollow tube 831, and the water in the rigid pipe 4 enters the hollow tube 831 and then enters the spray pipe 9 to be sprayed out.

[0036] The rigid pipe 4 is provided with a spray prevention piece 42, which is arranged above the hollow tube 831. The spray prevention piece 42 prevents water from being sprayed out of the tank opening through the gap between the hollow tube 831 and the rigid pipe 4.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some technical features. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
