[0002] A gas storage tank is a device specifically designed to store gases and stabilize system pressure. Based on the pressure it can withstand, gas storage tanks can be classified as high-pressure, low-pressure, and atmospheric-pressure tanks. Based on the material, they can be classified as carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and stainless steel tanks. A gas storage tank generally consists of a cylinder, end caps, flanges, connecting pipes, sealing elements, and supports. In addition, it is equipped with safety devices, gauges, and internal components that perform different production processes.

[0023] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, a horizontal gas storage tank that is easy to clean includes a base 1, a gas storage tank 2 fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1, a connecting plate 3 fixedly connected to the side of the base 1, a connecting assembly 8 fixedly connected to the top surface of the connecting plate 3, a drive motor 4 fixedly connected to the top surface of the connecting assembly 8, a locking block 5 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 4, a locking tube 6 sleeved on the surface of the locking block 5, a cleaning brush 7 fixedly connected to one end of the locking tube 6, the cleaning brush 7 being rotatably connected to the inside of the gas storage tank 2, a threaded opening at one end of the gas storage tank 2, a sealing cap threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded opening, and a drying assembly 9 disposed inside the threaded opening; the connecting assembly 8 includes a frame 81 fixedly connected to the top surface of the connecting plate 3, a connecting block 82 placed on the surface of the frame 81, a through limiting hole opened on the side of the connecting block 82 and the frame 81, a limiting rod 83 inserted into the limiting hole, and insertion holes opened at both ends of the limiting rod 83, with elastic inserts 84 inserted into the insertion holes;

[0025] During operation, the frame 81 of the connecting component 8 is fixed to the top surface of the connecting plate 3, and the bottom of the connecting block 82 is in contact with the surface of the frame 81. Positioning is achieved by the limiting rod 83 passing through the limiting hole on the side wall of the connecting block 82 and the frame 81. U-shaped elastic inserts 84 are inserted into the insertion holes at both ends of the limiting rod 83 to form an elastic locking structure. The drive motor 4 is fixed to the top of the connecting block 82. When disassembling, the drive motor 4 can be separated by pulling out the elastic inserts 84 and pulling out the limiting rod 83, realizing the flexible configuration of multiple gas tanks 2 sharing the same drive motor 4. After the drive motor 4 is started, its output end locking block 5 drives the sleeved locking tube 6 to rotate, so that the cleaning brush 7 rotates along a trajectory that coincides with the axis of the gas tank 2. The outer edge of the brush bristles continuously contacts the inner wall of the tank, completing efficient cleaning.

[0026] Furthermore, the drying assembly 9 includes a layered frame 91 disposed on the top surface of the connecting plate 3. An air pump 92 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the layered frame 91. A connecting pipe 93 is connected to one end of the air pump 92. A fan 94 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the layered frame 91. An electric heating grid 95 is fixedly connected to the side of the fan 94. A guide pipe 96 is fixedly connected to the side of the electric heating grid 95. A duct 97 is fixedly connected to one end of both the connecting pipe 93 and the guide pipe 96. Several air holes are opened on the surface of the duct 97.

[0027] During operation, the top air pump 92 inside the layered frame 91 of the drying component 9 is connected to the perforated air duct 97 through the connecting pipe 93, and the bottom fan 94 delivers the air heated by the electric heating grid 95 to another air duct 97 through the guide pipe 96. After cleaning, the two symmetrical air ducts 97 are inserted into the threaded opening of the air storage tank 2. The electric heating grid 95 and the fan 94 are started to blow hot air evenly into the tank through the air holes to accelerate the evaporation of water stains. At the same time, the air pump 92 draws in humid air through the air duct 97 of the connecting pipe 93 to form a circulating dry airflow, which avoids water vapor residue corroding the tank body. After the sealing cap is tightened, the air storage tank 2 is sealed.

[0028] Furthermore, the rotation axis of the cleaning brush 7 coincides with the axis of the air tank 2, and the outer edge of the bristles of the cleaning brush 7 contacts the inner wall of the air tank 2.

[0029] During operation, the drive motor 4 drives the clamping tube 6 and cleaning brush 7 to rotate at a constant speed around the axis of the gas storage tank 2 via the clamping block 5. The brush bristles sweep evenly along the inner wall of the tank, achieving cleaning without dead angles. This structural design ensures that the brush bristles are in continuous contact with the tank wall, avoiding local residual stains, while reducing equipment vibration caused by eccentric rotation, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and tank protection effect.

[0030] Furthermore, the elastic insert 84 is a U-shaped elastic metal strip, with its two ends inserted into the insertion holes at both ends of the limiting rod 83 to form an elastic locking structure.

[0031] During operation and installation, the elastic insert 84 is pressed into the insertion hole at both ends, and its rebound force is used to lock the limiting rod 83. During disassembly, only the two ends of the disassembly strip need to be pressed to unlock it. This design enables quick disassembly and assembly of the drive motor 4 and the connecting component 8, avoiding the cumbersome operation caused by bolt fixing. At the same time, the elastic locking structure effectively prevents the limiting rod 83 from accidentally falling off, ensuring the structural stability of the motor during operation and extending the service life of the connecting components.

[0032] Furthermore, the output end of the drive motor 4 is detachably connected to the cleaning brush 7 through the sleeve connection of the locking block 5 and the locking tube 6;

[0033] During operation, the card block 5 adopts a polygonal or irregular cross-section structure to match the inner cavity shape of the card tube 6. After insertion, power transmission is achieved by rotating and locking. This structure allows users to separate the drive motor 4 from the cleaning brush 7 after cleaning, which facilitates the individual cleaning or replacement of the cleaning brush 7. At the same time, it avoids damage caused by long-term exposure of the motor to a humid environment, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the equipment reuse rate.

[0034] Working principle: The drive motor 4 is installed on the surface of the frame 81 through the connecting block 82 in the connecting assembly 8. After the limiting rod 83 is inserted into the limiting hole of the connecting block 82 and the side wall of the frame 81, the elastic insert 84 is locked into the insertion hole of the limiting rod 83 by both ends to ensure the stable operation of the drive motor 4. After starting, the locking block 5 at the output end of the drive motor 4 drives the locking tube 6 and the cleaning brush 7 to rotate around the axis of the air tank 2. The brush bristles continuously contact the inner wall of the tank to complete the cleaning. After cleaning, the drive motor 4 is disassembled and the two symmetrical air ducts 97 of the drying assembly 9 are inserted into the threaded port of the air tank 2. The electric heating grid 95 is energized and heated, and the fan 94 delivers hot air through the guide pipe 96 to the air hole of the air duct 97 and blows it into the tank. At the same time, the air pump 92 draws in humid air through the other air duct 97 connected by the connecting pipe 93 to form a hot air circulation drying system. After drying, the air duct 97 is removed and the sealing cap is tightened on the threaded port to achieve sealed storage of the air tank 2.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or similar improvements made within the theoretical and principle content of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
