[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] An anti-oxidation peanut oil storage tank includes a tank body 1. The top 4 of the tank body 1 is domed, and the bottom of the tank body 1 is conical, forming a slag collection bottom 19. A slag outlet 20 is provided at the bottom of the slag collection bottom 19, and a slag outlet valve is installed on the slag outlet 20. An oil outlet pipe 5 is installed on the lower side of the tank body 1, and the oil outlet pipe 5 is installed on the upper side of the slag collection bottom 19. By designing the bottom of the tank body 1 as conical, this utility model allows the oil slag formed inside the tank body 1 to fall into the slag collection bottom 19, thereby collecting the oil slag through the slag collection bottom 19 and improving the quality of the edible oil output from the oil outlet pipe 5.

[0024] A support base 21 is installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the tank 1.

[0025] A float 2 is slidably installed inside the tank 1. The float 2 has a hollow cavity, which is a sealed cavity preventing edible oil from entering. The hollow cavity provides buoyancy to the float 2, allowing it to float on the edible oil inside the tank 1. The outer diameter of the float 2 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the tank 1, resulting in a very small gap between the outer circumference of the float 2 and the inner wall of the tank 1. This invention, by installing a float 2 inside the tank 1, effectively reduces the contact area between the edible oil and the air inside the tank 1, thereby significantly reducing the oxidation of the peanut oil inside the tank 1.

[0026] The tank body 1 is equipped with an oil inlet pipe 3, which passes through the float box 2. The top of the oil inlet pipe 3 passes through the tank top 4 of the tank body 1 and is fitted with a cover 24. An oil outlet pipe 5 is installed on the lower side of the float box 2, and an oil outlet valve is installed on the oil outlet pipe 5. The cover 24 on the oil inlet pipe 3 can be connected to the oil inlet pipe 3 via a flange. In application, peanut oil is transported to the bottom of the tank body 1 through the oil inlet pipe 3, that is, to the lower side of the float box 2. When the float box 2 descends to its lowest point in the tank body 1, the bottom of the oil inlet pipe 3 remains below the float box 2. During the process of oil being injected into the bottom of the tank body 1 through the oil inlet pipe 3, the peanut oil will cause the float box 2 to float upward. A distance sensor can be installed inside the tank top 4 of the tank body 1 to monitor the height of the float box 2. When the peanut oil causes the float box 2 to rise to its highest position, the injection of oil into the tank body 1 stops.

[0027] A hook 6 is installed on the top of the float 2. A lifting hole 12 is provided on the top 4 of the tank body 1, and a lifting hole cover 25 is installed on the lifting hole 12. A winch 13 is installed on the upper side of the lifting hole 12 on the top 4 of the tank body 1. This invention, by providing a hook 6 on the top of the float 2, facilitates the lifting of the float 2 during maintenance and cleaning of the tank body 1. When lifting the float 2, the lifting hole cover 25 is first removed. Then, workers enter the tank body 1 through the first manhole 14 and the ladder, and connect the hoisting rope of the winch 13 to the hook 6. The winch 13 can then drive the float 2 upwards via the hoisting rope.

[0028] The tank body 1 has a first manhole 14 on its top 4, and a first manhole cover 22 is installed on the top 4 of the tank body 1. A ladder 15 is installed on the lower side of the top 4 of the tank body 1, and a second manhole 16 is provided on the float 2 for the ladder 15 to pass through. A second manhole cover 23 is installed on one side of the second manhole 16. The bottom of the ladder 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 1. By providing the second manhole 16, this utility model allows workers to enter the lower side of the float 2 through the second manhole 16 and maintain the bottom of the float 2 and the rotating nozzle 10 and other structures.

[0029] The tank body 1 is also equipped with a guide rod 17. The upper and lower ends of the guide rod 17 are fixedly connected to the top 4 and bottom of the tank body 1, respectively. By setting the guide rod 17, the guide rod 17 and the oil inlet pipe 3 can prevent the float box 2 from rotating, but only raise and lower.

[0030] Multiple support rods 18 are installed at the bottom of the float box 2. By installing support rods 18 at the bottom of the float box 2, this utility model can prevent the bottom of the float box 2 from contacting the bottom of the tank body 1, so that the bottom of the float box 2 always maintains a certain space with the bottom of the tank body 1.

[0031] The floating box 2 has an installation hole 7 in the middle. The installation hole 7 is a through hole. A cleaning pipe 8 is fixedly installed in the installation hole 7. The cleaning pipe 8 is made of stainless steel. The cleaning pipe 8 can be fixedly connected to the upper side of the installation hole 7 by welding or other means.

[0032] The top of the cleaning pipe 8 is provided with a connector 9. The cleaning pipe 8 can be connected to a hose. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the tank 1, the connector 9 at the top of the cleaning pipe 8 can be connected to a hose. The hose extends out of the top 4 of the tank 1 and is connected to a water pump. The water pump pumps the cleaning liquid into the cleaning pipe 8.

[0033] The bottom of the cleaning pipe 8 extends downward through the mounting hole 7 and is fitted with a rotating nozzle 10. When the cleaning fluid is pumped into the cleaning pipe 8 by a water pump, it will then be pumped into the rotating nozzle 10. The rotating nozzle 10 will rotate and spray under pressure. The rotating nozzle 10 is existing technology and has mature applications in cleaning tanks such as reaction vessels 1.

[0034] A sealing cover 11 is detachably installed on the bottom of the float box 2 outside the mounting hole 7. The rotating nozzle 10 is inside the sealing cover 11. The lower side of the mounting hole 7 is provided with an internal thread. The top of the sealing cover 11 is inserted into the mounting hole 7 and threadedly connected to the mounting hole 7. By setting the sealing cover 11, this utility model can prevent the rotating nozzle 10 from contacting cooking oil when not cleaning.

[0035] The hook 6 is positioned above the mounting hole 7 and is fixedly mounted on the top of the float box 2 via a hook bracket. By providing a hook bracket, this invention ensures that the hook 6 is positioned above the mounting hole 7, thus preventing it from interfering with the connection between the cleaning pipe 8 and the hose. The hook bracket is welded and fixed to the top of the float box 2.
