Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage tank technology, and more specifically, to a metal storage tank that can be flipped. Background Technology

[0002] Storage tanks are sealed containers used to store liquids, gases and metal products. They are essential infrastructure in industries such as petroleum, chemical, grain and oil, food, fire protection, transportation, metallurgy, and national defense. China has made continuous breakthroughs and innovations in the design, construction and materials of large storage tanks. The construction scale and technical level of storage tanks are constantly improving, which makes storage tanks a better way to store metal products and makes metal products less prone to rust.

[0003] A search revealed that publication number CN117108920A discloses a storage tank. The tank's manhole flange includes a first bushing, and the end cover includes a second bushing. The second bushing abuts against the first bushing, and a sealing ring is disposed between the second and first bushings to seal the connection, thereby improving the sealing performance at the connection between the manhole flange and the end cover and enhancing the safety of the storage tank. During the development of this invention, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology:

[0004] When storing metal products in existing storage tanks, the metal products will rust due to the poor sealing of the tanks, making them unsuitable for long-term storage. Traditional storage tanks store multiple different metal products together, making it difficult to classify and retrieve them. Some metal product storage tanks are placed horizontally and multiple partitions are installed inside the tank to classify and store metal products. However, placing the tanks horizontally will greatly increase the footprint of the tanks, making it unsuitable to place multiple tanks together.

[0005] Therefore, a flip-over metal storage tank is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a flip-over metal storage tank to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a reversible metal storage tank, comprising a reversing mechanism, a shell assembly, and a support assembly. The shell assembly is mounted on the side of the reversing mechanism, and the support assembly is mounted below the reversing mechanism. The reversing mechanism includes a driving assembly, a transmission assembly, and a connecting plate. The transmission assembly is placed on the side of the driving assembly, and the connecting plate is mounted on the outer diameter surface of the transmission assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the outer shell assembly includes a tank body, an observation window, a first tank door, and a second tank door. The observation window is installed on the outer wall surface of the tank body, the first tank door is placed below the observation window, and the second tank door is placed above the observation window.

[0009] Preferably, the support assembly includes a support leg, a support column, and a connecting block, with the support column mounted above the support leg and the connecting block mounted above the support column.

[0010] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a drive motor, a drive shaft, and a drive gear, with the drive shaft mounted below the drive motor and the drive gear mounted on the outer diameter surface of the drive shaft.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a transmission gear, a transmission shaft, and a connecting shaft, wherein the transmission shaft is mounted on the inner diameter surface of the transmission gear, and the connecting shaft is mounted on the side of the transmission shaft.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. Compared with the existing technology, this flip-up metal storage tank uses tin-plated steel plates to isolate external oxygen and moisture, and the tank body is welded to prevent oxygen and moisture from entering the tank, thus prolonging the oxidation time of the metal products. In addition, a desiccant box is installed inside the tank to absorb the moisture inside the tank.

[0014] 2. Compared with existing technologies, this flip-over metal product storage tank is designed as two tanks through a flipping mechanism to store different metal products. The tanks are stored vertically, reducing the space occupied when the tanks are stored. When workers need to store metal products, they need to turn on the motor to adjust the storage tank to a horizontal position with the first tank door facing upwards. Then, they open the first tank door and place the metal product inside the tank. Similarly, workers can place another type of metal product into the other tank. Then, they activate the flipping mechanism to restore the metal product storage tank to a vertical position, saving storage space. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] As attached Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated metal storage tank that can be flipped includes a flipping mechanism 1, a shell assembly 2, and a support assembly 3. The shell assembly 2 is mounted on the side of the flipping mechanism 1, and the support assembly 3 is mounted below the flipping mechanism 1. The flipping mechanism 1 includes a drive assembly 4, a transmission assembly 5, and a connecting plate 6. The transmission assembly 5 is placed on the side of the drive assembly 4, and the connecting plate 6 is mounted on the outer diameter surface of the transmission assembly 5.

[0024] The structure includes: a tilting mechanism 1 that can tilt the storage tank; a metal outer shell assembly 2 that provides a storage space; a support assembly 3 that supports the tilting mechanism 1; and a bearing connecting the support assembly 3 and the tilting mechanism 1. The outer shell assembly 2 is welded to the side of the tilting mechanism 1, and the support assembly 3 is installed below it. The tilting mechanism 1 includes a drive assembly 4, a transmission assembly 5, and a connecting plate 6. The drive assembly 4 provides power to the tilting mechanism 1, the transmission assembly 5 transmits the torque of the drive assembly 4, and the connecting plate 6 connects the tilting mechanism 1 and the outer shell assembly 2. The transmission assembly 5 is placed on the side of the drive assembly 4, and the connecting plate 6 is welded to the outer diameter surface of the transmission assembly 5. When a worker operates the metal... When storing the products, the worker needs to use the tilting mechanism 1 to adjust the storage tank to a horizontal position with the first tank door 9 facing upwards. Then, the worker opens the first tank door 9 and places the metal products into the tank body 7 through the first tank door 9. The first tank door 9 and the tank body 7 are connected by threads. After placement, the worker can tilt the storage tank over so that the first tank door 9 of another tank body 7 faces upwards and place a different type of metal product inside. During the process of placing metal products into the tank body 7, the worker can observe the amount of metal products stored inside the tank body 7 through the observation window 8. After placement, the worker needs to check whether the first tank door 9 and the second tank door 10 are in a sealed state to prevent the tank door from being pushed up by the metal product when the storage tank is tilted. To mitigate the risks of opening, after inspection, workers need to activate the tilting mechanism 1 to verticalize the storage tank, saving warehouse space. When workers need to remove metal products from the tank 7, they must tilt the tank 7 with the metal product to be removed horizontally downwards, then open the second tank door 10. The metal product inside the tank 7 will fall out due to the tilt. If the metal product has not yet fallen, the horizontal angle between the tank 7 and the ground can be adjusted, or manual assistance can be provided. If only a single metal product needs to be removed, workers only need to adjust the storage tank to a horizontal position with the first tank door 9 facing upwards, then open the first tank door 9 to remove the metal product inside the tank 7. The tilting mechanism 1 is activated... After activation, the drive motor 14 drives the drive gear 16 to rotate via the drive shaft 15. The drive gear 16 meshes with the transmission gear 17, and the rotation of the drive gear 16 drives the transmission gear 17 to rotate. The transmission gear 17 and the transmission shaft 18 are connected by bolts, and the transmission shaft 18 and the connecting shaft 19 are connected by threads. When the transmission gear 17 rotates, it drives the connecting shaft 19 to rotate via the transmission shaft 18. The connecting shaft 19 drives the connecting plate 6 to rotate. The connecting plate 6 and the two side tanks 7 are connected by welding, so when the connecting plate 6 rotates, the two side tanks 7 will also rotate. The bracket assembly 3 is supported by the flipping mechanism 1, and the bracket assembly 3 and the flipping mechanism 1 are connected by bearings.
