[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This embodiment provides a storage tank, such as Figures 1-2As shown, the tank includes a tank body 1 and an opening / closing device 2. The opening / closing device 2 is mounted on the tank body 1. A material inlet is located at the top of the tank body 1, and a top door is provided at the material inlet to close it. The opening / closing device 2 is connected to the top door and can drive one end of the top door to move vertically away from or towards the tank body 1, separating or contacting the top door with the material inlet. In this embodiment, the storage tank has a material inlet at the top, a top door at the material inlet, and the opening / closing device 2 is mounted on the tank body 1. The opening / closing device 2 can drive one end of the top door to move vertically away from or towards the tank body 1, separating or contacting the top door with the material inlet. Therefore, this device can control the opening and closing of the top door after it is separated from the tank body 1, thereby avoiding friction between the top door sealing strip and the tank body 1 when the top door moves within the guide rail, reducing wear on the sealing strip, increasing its service life, and thus improving the sealing performance of the storage tank.

[0029] In some embodiments of this example, the top door includes a sliding unit 4 and a door body 3. The sliding unit 4 includes a pair of oppositely arranged guide rails 7. Two sliding members 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the door body 3. Both guide rails 7 span across the tank body 1 and are respectively arranged on both sides of the material inlet. The sliding members 8 are slidably connected to the guide rails 7. The operation of the door body 3 sliding on the guide rails 7 is relatively simple, and the operator can easily control the opening and closing of the door body 3, thereby quickly completing the loading and unloading of materials and improving work efficiency.

[0030] In some implementations of this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the opening and closing device includes a lifting unit, which is located below one end of the guide rail 7. The other end of the guide rail 7 is rotatably connected to the tank body 1 around a first axis. The lifting unit includes a lifting component 11, which is rotatably connected to the tank body 1. The output component of the lifting component 11 is movably connected to the end of the guide rail 7, enabling the end of the guide rail 7 to move vertically away from or towards the tank body 1. The lifting unit can adjust the height and tilt of the top door, separating the top door from the tank body 1. This prevents the top door sealing strip from rubbing against the tank body 1 when the top door moves within the guide rail 7, avoiding wear on the sealing strip, improving its service life, and ensuring the sealing effect of the storage tank.

[0031] In some embodiments of this example, the top door also includes a power unit, which includes a drive component. The output component of the drive component is fixedly connected to the door body 3 to drive the door body 3 to slide back and forth along the guide rail 7. The power unit enables the opening and closing of the door body 3 to be automated, replacing manual operation, significantly reducing labor costs and labor intensity, improving operational convenience and production efficiency; the drive component can be in the form of a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0032] In some implementations of this embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the lifting unit also includes a swing arm 9 and a connecting rod 10. One end of the swing arm 9 is rotatably connected to the output component of the lifting unit around a second axis, and the other end of the swing arm 9 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 10 around a third axis. The other end of the connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the end of the guide rail 7 around a fourth axis. The swing arm 9 and the connecting rod 10 enable the lifting of the top door to better meet actual needs. At the same time, the swing arm 9 and the connecting rod 10 can absorb some of the impact force during movement, reducing the direct impact on the guide rail 7 and the tank 1, reducing the risk of equipment damage, and extending the service life of the equipment. The first axis, second axis, third axis, and fourth axis are all parallel to each other.

[0033] In some embodiments of this example, the opening and closing device 2 further includes a control unit. The control unit is signal-connected to both the power unit and the lifting unit and can control the opening and closing of the power unit and the lifting unit. The control unit is located at the bottom of the tank body 1. According to a preset program or instruction, the control unit can automatically control the opening and closing of the power unit and the lifting unit without direct manual operation. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the influence of human factors, making the opening and closing of the top door more accurate and stable.

[0034] In some implementations of this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the tank body 1 is formed by four large arc plates 12 and four small arc plates 13, which are arranged alternately, and the diameter of the large arc plates 12 is larger than the diameter of the small arc plates 13. The use of large arc plates 12 and small arc plates 13 to enclose the storage tank effectively improves space utilization and increases the loading capacity of the tank, while maintaining the same external dimensions. Furthermore, the absence of sharp corners between the arc plates effectively avoids stress concentration and facilitates the removal of materials from the tank.

[0035] In some embodiments of this example, the storage tank further includes a frame 5, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tank body 1 to support the tank body 1. The frame 5 can provide additional support to the tank body 1, so that the tank body 1 maintains a stable shape and position when it is filled with materials or subjected to other external forces, preventing the tank body 1 from deforming, tilting or even collapsing, and ensuring its safe operation.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] This embodiment provides a tanker transport vehicle, including a frame and a storage tank as shown in Embodiment 1, which is mounted on the frame. In this embodiment, the storage tank has a material inlet at the top, with a top door at the inlet. An opening and closing device 2 is mounted on the tank body 1. The opening and closing device 2 can drive one end of the top door to move vertically away from or towards the tank body 1, causing the top door to separate from or contact the material inlet. Therefore, this device can control the opening and closing of the top door after it has separated from the tank body 1, thereby preventing friction between the top door sealing strip and the tank body 1 when the top door moves within the guide rail, reducing wear on the sealing strip, increasing its service life, and thus improving the sealing performance of the storage tank.

[0038] In some embodiments of this example, the storage tank includes a frame 5, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tank body 1. Multiple corner pieces are provided at the bottom of the frame 5, and these corner pieces are detachably connected to the vehicle frame. This detachable connection between the corner pieces and the vehicle frame makes the assembly and disassembly of the transport equipment more convenient. Workers can easily separate the frame 5, along with the tank body 1, from the vehicle frame, facilitating individual processing, installation, debugging, or maintenance of each component, thus improving work efficiency and reducing operational difficulty.
