[0002] Emulsifiers are substances that can improve the surface tension between various components in an emulsion, enabling it to form a uniform and stable dispersion system or emulsion. Emulsifiers are surface-active substances with both hydrophilic and lipophilic groups in their molecules. They aggregate at the oil / water interface, reducing interfacial tension and the energy required to form an emulsion, thereby increasing the energy of the emulsion.

[0003] When emulsifier products are stored for extended periods, storage devices are required. Existing emulsifier storage devices have relatively simple structures, and during use, the emulsifier may solidify over time. Solidified emulsifier is difficult to remove from the storage device when needed. Therefore, we propose a water-in-oil emulsifier storage device. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to its embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an oil-in-water emulsion storage device, including a tank 24, with an inlet pipe 5 and an outlet pipe 8 connected to the upper end of the outer wall and the bottom of the tank 24 respectively for discharging material, and multiple support legs 12 connected circumferentially at the bottom of the tank 24 to improve the overall stability of the tank 24. The top of the tank 24 is sealed with a top cover 2, and the bottom of the top cover 2 is connected with a support rod 9 that penetrates the bottom of the tank 24. The end of the support rod 9 is connected to the bottom of the tank 24. In order to facilitate the installation of the support rod 9 and the top cover 2, a limiting seat 25 is coaxially connected to the bottom of the top cover 2, and the top of the support rod 9 is detachably connected to the limiting seat 25.

[0023] like Figure 2 , 3As shown, multiple sets of stirring mechanisms are equidistantly arranged on the support rod 9. The multiple sets of stirring mechanisms are fixedly connected to each other, and each set of stirring mechanisms includes two second sliding seats 19 that are slidably connected to the support rod 9. Two sets of second connecting rods 17 are symmetrically arranged between the second sliding seats 19. There are two second connecting rods 17 in each set. The two second connecting rods 17 and the ends of the second connecting rods 17 are rotatably connected to the second sliding seats 19. A connecting seat 18 is provided on the side of the two second connecting rods 17 that are close to each other, and the ends of the two second connecting rods 17 are rotatably connected to the connecting seat 18. The second connecting rods 17 can move in a circle along the support rod 9 inside the tank 24. During the rotation, the second connecting rods 17 stir the emulsifier located in the tank 24 to prevent the emulsifier from solidifying after long-term storage.

[0024] To improve the stability of the connection between adjacent second sliding seats 19, a return spring 15 coaxial with the support rod 9 is connected between the two second sliding seats 19 in each group. There are two return springs 15, and the return springs 15 are connected between the second sliding seat 19 and the first sliding seat 14. During the rotation of the second connecting rod 17, the return springs 15 provide support between the two second sliding seats 19, ensuring that the two second connecting rods 17 in each group are always in a V-shaped structure, which is conducive to stirring. At the same time, a first sliding seat 14 slidably connected to the support rod 9 is set between the two second sliding seats 19. A first connecting rod 16 is rotatably connected between the middle of the first sliding seat 14 and the second connecting rod 17. The first connecting rod 16 not only improves the overall stability of the second connecting rod 17, but also improves the stirring efficiency.

[0025] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a support tube 22 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the tank 24, and a support rod 9 is installed through the support tube 22 and rotatably connected to it. The support rod 9 and the inner wall of the support tube 22 are rotatably connected by a sealed bearing to prevent the emulsifier from flowing out between the support tube 22 and the support rod 9, thus ensuring the overall sealing of the device. The second sliding seat 19 at the bottom is fastened to the top of the support tube 22. The bottom of the support tube 22 is connected to the motor 10 connected to the bottom of the tank 24. Gears 7 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support tube 22 extending to the bottom of the tank 24 and to the output end of the motor 10. The gears 7 are meshed together. During the stirring operation, the motor 10 controls the gears 7 to rotate, and under the meshing action, it drives the support tube 22 to rotate inside the tank 24, thereby realizing the stirring function of the second connecting rod 17.

[0026] In summary, this water-in-oil emulsion storage device, in order to facilitate the rapid discharge of emulsion from the tank 24 and avoid emulsion residue on the inner wall of the tank 24, has a top plate 21 slidably connected to the support rod 9 via a third sliding seat 23. A scraper 20 with a clearance fit to the inner wall of the tank 24 is obliquely connected to the bottom edge of the top plate 21, improving the scraping efficiency. An electric push rod 1 is connected between the top of the top plate 21 and the top cover 2, and an annular stop block 3 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top plate 21. The support rod 9 passes through the annular stop block 3. When the bottom of the top plate 21 abuts against the second sliding seat 19 located on the top layer, the second connecting rod 17 can rotate normally under the action of the annular stop block 3.

[0027] Meanwhile, to further prevent the emulsifier from solidifying, a protective cover 4 is coaxially connected to the outer wall of the tank 24. A heating wire 13 and a temperature sensor 26 are installed inside the protective cover 4 and are fastened to the outer wall of the tank 24. The temperature inside the tank 24 can be monitored in real time and always controlled within a certain temperature range. A bracket 11 is fastened to the bottom of the tank 24, and the motor 10 is fastened to the bracket 11. The bottom of the support rod 9 extends to the bracket 11 and is fixedly connected to it. A control box 6 is installed on the outer wall of the tank 24. The motor 10, the electric push rod 1, the heating wire 13, and the temperature sensor 26 are all connected to the controller in the control box 6.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
