Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surfactant storage tank technology, and in particular to a surfactant transfer storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] Surfactants have become a flexible and versatile class of fine chemical products due to their series of physicochemical functions such as wetting or anti-sticking, emulsification or demulsification, foaming or defoaming, as well as solubilization, dispersion, washing, corrosion prevention, and antistatic properties, and their corresponding practical applications. In addition to being used as detergents in daily life, surfactants can be applied to almost all fine chemical fields.

[0003] In chemical production and related fields, storage tanks for surfactant transfer are key equipment for storing and transporting surfactants. Traditional storage tanks are usually designed with fixed casters or rigid support legs for handling. Although storage tanks with fixed casters are more convenient to move and can easily change the direction of transport by taking advantage of the directional characteristics of the casters, after the storage tank is placed on the work site, the casters are in continuous contact with the ground and are susceptible to external forces, which may cause the tank to slide unexpectedly, leading to safety hazards such as loose connecting pipes and material leakage. Utility Model Content

[0004] While fixed casters are convenient for moving storage tanks and allow for easy changes in transport direction, they also present safety hazards. When placed on the work site, the casters remain in constant contact with the ground, making the tank susceptible to slippage due to external forces. This can lead to loosening of connecting pipes, material leakage, and other safety issues. This invention provides a surfactant transfer storage tank with a foldable, retractable structure, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a storage tank for surfactant transfer, comprising a storage tank, a plurality of support legs fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage tank, a movable ring plate at the bottom of the storage tank, a screw hole sleeve fixedly installed in the middle of the movable ring plate, a plurality of universal wheels fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable ring plate, a drive cavity opened at the bottom of the storage tank, a motor base fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the storage tank, a servo motor installed at the upper end of the motor base, a first sprocket installed at the bottom of the motor base, the servo motor being connected to the upper end of the first sprocket via a coupling, a chain being meshed on the surface of the first sprocket, a second sprocket being meshed on the inner side of the other end of the chain, and an adjusting screw being fixedly installed at the bottom of the second sprocket through a support rod passing through the drive cavity, the adjusting screw being threadedly connected to the inside of the screw hole sleeve.

[0006] Preferably, the surface of the movable ring plate is evenly provided with multiple guide grooves, and the movable ring plate is slidably installed on the outside of the support leg through the guide grooves. Multiple mounting seats are fixedly installed at the upper middle part of the movable ring plate, and multiple V-shaped reinforcing plates are hinged to the upper end of the mounting seats. The V-shaped reinforcing plates are arranged horizontally and their upper ends are hinged to the bottom of the storage tank.

[0007] By setting guide grooves, precise guidance is provided for the up and down movement of the movable ring plate, ensuring smooth lifting and lowering of the movable ring plate and enhancing the overall structural stability.

[0008] Preferably, a stirring motor is installed at the upper end of the storage tank, and two horizontal plates are provided inside the storage tank, with a connecting plate fixedly installed in the middle of the two horizontal plates.

[0009] By installing a stirring motor, power is provided to rotate the horizontal plate, which promotes the stirring of surfactants in the storage tank and avoids phenomena such as sedimentation and stratification.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the stirring motor is connected to the upper end of one of the horizontal plates via a coupling, and scrapers are provided on both sides of the two horizontal plates, with the other side of the scrapers adhering to the inner wall of the storage tank.

[0011] By using a scraper, the surfactant on the inner wall of the storage tank is scraped off as the horizontal plate rotates, preventing it from accumulating on the tank wall and ensuring uniform storage.

[0012] Preferably, a slider is fixedly installed on the side of the scraper near the horizontal plate, and guide rails are provided on both sides of the horizontal plate, with the slider slidably installed inside the guide rails.

[0013] By setting up a slider, the scraper can slide within the guide rail of the horizontal plate, and its position can be adjusted adaptively to ensure that the scraper always adheres to the tank wall for effective scraping.

[0014] Preferably, a return spring is fixedly installed on the side of the slider, and the other end of the return spring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the guide rail.

[0015] By using a reset spring, the scraper is kept in close contact with the inner wall of the storage tank, ensuring a stable and reliable scraping effect.

[0016] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. A servo motor drives the first sprocket to rotate, which in turn drives the second sprocket to rotate synchronously via a chain. Since an adjusting screw is fixed to the bottom of the second sprocket, its rotation causes the adjusting screw to rotate. Based on the principle of threaded transmission, the rotation of the adjusting screw causes the movable ring plate to move downwards along the guide groove on the outside of the support leg, gradually lowering the caster to contact the ground and lift the storage tank. At this point, the operator can easily change the transport direction and move the storage tank using the caster's steering characteristics. When the adjusting screw rotates in the opposite direction, the movable ring plate moves upwards under the constraint of the guide groove, and the caster retracts. The storage tank is then supported by the support leg, effectively preventing accidental slippage of the tank caused by the caster continuously contacting the ground, and preventing safety hazards such as loose connecting pipes and material leakage.

[0018] 2. When the stirring motor is set, it drives the horizontal plate to rotate. The scrapers on both sides of the horizontal plate are closely attached to the inner wall of the tank. As the horizontal plate rotates, the scrapers scrape off the surfactants attached to the tank wall. When the scraper is affected by the resistance of the tank wall or other external forces during rotation, the slider will slide in the guide rail. The return spring will generate elastic force. According to Hooke's Law, the elastic force of the return spring will keep the scraper pressing against the tank wall, ensuring that the scraper is closely attached to the tank wall. Even if vibration or other situations occur during stirring, the scraper can maintain a good scraping effect under the action of the return spring, effectively preventing surfactants from accumulating on the tank wall, ensuring storage uniformity, and improving storage quality.

[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] Please see Figures 1-5 A storage tank for surfactant transfer includes a storage tank 1, a plurality of support legs 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage tank 1, a movable ring plate 3 provided at the bottom of the storage tank 1, a screw hole sleeve 5 fixedly installed in the middle of the movable ring plate 3, a plurality of casters 6 fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable ring plate 3, and a drive cavity 7 opened at the bottom of the storage tank 1.

[0027] A motor mount 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of storage tank 1. A servo motor 9 is installed on the upper end of the motor mount 8. A first sprocket 10 is installed at the bottom of the motor mount 8. The servo motor 9 is connected to the upper end of the first sprocket 10 via a coupling. A chain 11 is meshed on the surface of the first sprocket 10. A second sprocket 12 is meshed on the inner side of the other end of the chain 11. The bottom of the second sprocket 12 is supported by a support rod that passes through the drive cavity 7 and is fixedly installed with an adjusting screw 13. The servo motor 9 drives the first sprocket 10 to rotate. Through the transmission of the chain 11, the second sprocket 12 rotates synchronously. Since the adjusting screw 13 is fixed at the bottom of the second sprocket 12, the rotation of the second sprocket 12 drives the adjusting screw 13. 3. Rotate the adjusting screw 13 to connect with the internal thread of the screw hole sleeve 5. According to the principle of thread transmission, the rotation of the adjusting screw 13 will cause the movable ring plate 3 to move downward along the guide groove 4 on the outside of the support leg 2, so that the caster 6 gradually descends to contact the ground and supports the storage tank 1. At this time, the operator can easily change the direction of transportation and move the storage tank by taking advantage of the steering characteristics of the caster 6. When the adjusting screw 13 rotates in the opposite direction, the movable ring plate 3 moves upward under the restriction of the guide groove 4, and the caster 6 retracts accordingly. The storage tank 1 is supported by the support leg 2, which effectively avoids the accidental slippage of the tank caused by the continuous contact of the caster 6 with the ground and prevents safety hazards such as loose connecting pipes and material leakage.

[0028] Please see Figures 2-4Multiple guide grooves 4 are evenly provided on the surface of the movable ring plate 3. The movable ring plate 3 is slidably installed on the outside of the support leg 2 through the guide grooves 4. Multiple mounting seats 14 are fixedly installed at the upper middle part of the movable ring plate 3. Multiple V-shaped reinforcing plates 15 are hinged to the upper end of the mounting seats 14. The V-shaped reinforcing plates 15 are arranged horizontally and their upper ends are hinged to the bottom of the storage tank 1. When the tank is placed, the V-shaped reinforcing plates 15 are arranged horizontally and their upper ends are hinged to the bottom of the storage tank 1. When the tank is subjected to external force or pressure generated by its own weight, the V-shaped reinforcing plates 15 can distribute the weight of the tank to the movable ring plate 3 and the support leg 2. Through the stability principle of the triangular structure, the stability of the tank when it is placed is effectively enhanced, and the storage safety is improved. The bend of the V-shaped reinforcing plate 15 is hinged. Because the bend is hinged, the V-shaped reinforcing plate can flexibly adjust the angle to better distribute the weight of the tank to the support leg 2 and the movable ring plate 3.

[0029] A stirring motor 16 is installed at the top of the storage tank 1. Inside the storage tank 1 are two horizontal plates 18, with a connecting plate 17 fixedly installed in the middle of the two horizontal plates 18. The bottom of the stirring motor 16 is connected to the upper end of one of the horizontal plates 18 via a coupling. Scrapers 19 are provided on both sides of the two horizontal plates 18, with the other side of the scrapers 19 adhering to the inner wall of the storage tank 1. When the stirring motor 16 is installed, it drives the horizontal plates 18 to rotate. The scrapers 19 on both sides of the horizontal plates 18 are tightly attached to the inner wall of the tank. As the horizontal plates 18 rotate, the scrapers 19 scrape off the surfactant adhering to the tank wall. A slider 20 is fixedly installed on the side of the scraper 19 closest to the horizontal plate 18. Guide rails 21 are provided on both sides of the horizontal plates 18. The slider 20 is slidably installed inside the guide rail 21. A return spring 22 is fixedly installed on the side of the slider 20, and the other end of the return spring 22 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the guide rail 21. When the scraper 19 is affected by the resistance of the tank wall or other external forces during rotation, the slider 20 will slide inside the guide rail 21, and the return spring 22 will generate elastic force. According to Hooke's Law, the elastic force of the return spring 22 will make the scraper 19 always maintain pressure towards the tank wall, ensuring that the scraper 19 is in close contact with the tank wall. Even if vibration or other situations occur during stirring, the scraper 19 can maintain a good scraping effect under the action of the return spring 22, effectively preventing surfactants from accumulating on the tank wall, ensuring storage uniformity, and improving storage quality.

[0030] Working principle: In actual use, the servo motor 9 is started to drive the first sprocket 10 connected to it to rotate. The first sprocket 10 meshes with the second sprocket 12 through the chain 11, thereby driving the second sprocket 12 to rotate synchronously. Since the bottom of the second sprocket 12 is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw 13, the rotation of the second sprocket 12 causes the adjusting screw 13 to rotate accordingly. The adjusting screw 13 is threadedly engaged with the screw hole sleeve 5 in the middle of the movable ring plate 3. When the adjusting screw 13 rotates, the movable ring plate 3 will move downward along the guide groove 4 on the outside of the support leg 2 under the action of the thread transmission. As the movable ring plate 3 descends, the universal wheel 6 installed at its bottom gradually contacts the ground and supports the storage tank 1. At this time, the operator can use the steering characteristics of the universal wheel 6 to easily push the storage tank to move, change the transport direction, and achieve convenient transport.

[0031] Once the storage tank reaches the designated position, the servo motor 9 is started in reverse. The servo motor 9 reverses and drives the first sprocket 10 to rotate in the opposite direction. Through the chain 11, the second sprocket 12 also rotates in the opposite direction. The adjusting screw 13 rotates in the opposite direction as well. This causes the movable ring plate 3 to move upward under the restriction of the guide groove 4. The caster 6 gradually retracts, and the storage tank 1 is finally supported by the support leg 2. This effectively avoids the accidental slippage of the tank that may be caused by the caster 6 continuously contacting the ground, and prevents safety problems such as loose connecting pipes and material leakage.

[0032] When the surfactant in the storage tank needs to be stirred, the stirring motor 16 is started to drive the horizontal plate 18 to rotate. The scrapers 19 installed on both sides of the horizontal plate 18 rotate with the horizontal plate 18. The scrapers 19 are always in contact with the inner wall of the storage tank 1, which can effectively scrape off the surfactant adhering to the tank wall, prevent its accumulation, and ensure the uniformity of storage.
