Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of methanol storage technology, and in particular to a storage tank for methanol production from natural gas. Background Technology
[0002] Natural gas to methanol production is a common method, which requires storage tanks to store the produced methanol. Polyethylene (PE) tanks are the most commonly used due to their good corrosion resistance, wear resistance, impact resistance, light weight, and ease of installation.
[0003] To ensure stable placement, existing storage tanks are typically designed with a flat bottom. However, this structure makes it difficult to move the tanks during use. Therefore, a storage tank that can be both stable and easy to move is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage tank for methanol production from natural gas, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art, where the bottom of existing storage tanks is usually set as a flat surface to ensure stable placement, but this structure makes it inconvenient to move the storage tank during use.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to a storage tank for methanol production from natural gas, comprising:
[0007] Tank body;
[0008] A convenient moving component includes a receiving ring, a receiving plate, and moving wheels. The receiving ring is fixedly installed on the outer ring of the tank. The receiving plate is movably connected to both ends of the bottom of the receiving ring, and the moving wheels are movably connected to both ends of the side of the receiving plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the convenient moving component also includes a receiving platform, a bidirectional rotating motor, a long shaft, a short shaft, and a rectangular plate. One end of the receiving platform is fixedly connected to the middle of the side of the receiving plate, and the other end of the receiving platform is fixedly connected to the bidirectional rotating motor. The output end of the bidirectional rotating motor is movably connected to the long shaft, the side of the long shaft is fixedly connected to the short shaft, the rectangular plate is fixedly connected between the short shafts, and the side of the rectangular plate is fixedly connected to a moving wheel.
[0010] Furthermore, the convenient moving component also includes a through hole, through which a short shaft is movably connected.
[0011] Furthermore, the convenient moving component also includes grooves, and grooves are formed at both ends of the receiving plate.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a convenient replacement component, which includes an external block, a slot, and a locking rod. The external block is fixedly connected to both sides of the receiving plate, and a slot is opened on the side of the external block. The locking rod is movably engaged between the slots.
[0013] Furthermore, the convenient replacement component also includes a receiving hole, a threaded groove, and a wing screw. The receiving hole is provided on the locking rod, and the threaded groove is provided in the middle of the outer block. The wing screw is movably inserted between the receiving hole and the threaded groove.
[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0015] This invention, by turning on the bidirectional rotating motor, can drive the rectangular plate and the moving wheel to rotate with the cooperation of the long shaft and the short shaft. At this time, the moving wheel rotates out of the groove and contacts the ground, while the receiving plate and the tank body are lifted off the ground, which facilitates the movement of the tank body. When the movement is not required, the bidirectional rotating motor is in the off state, the moving wheel is in the groove, and the receiving plate is in contact with the ground, so as to achieve the stable placement of the tank body.
[0016] Based on the aforementioned beneficial effects, by unscrewing the wing screws, the locking rod can be removed from the slot, making it easy to remove the end plates. The end plates can then be installed on the outside of another tank, facilitating the movement of other tanks and helping to save on usage costs. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The convenient moving component also includes grooves 2010, and grooves 2010 are provided at both ends of the receiving plate 202;
[0039] The groove 2010 ensures the smooth rotation of the movable wheel 203.
[0040] It also includes a convenient replacement component, which includes an external block 301, a slot 302 and a locking rod 303. The external block 301 is fixedly connected to both sides of the receiving plate 202.

[0044] Working principle: When it is necessary to move tank 101, the bidirectional rotation motor 205 is turned on, driving the long shaft 206 and the short shaft 207 to rotate. At this time, with the cooperation of the rectangular plate 208, the moving wheel 203 rotates, and the moving wheel 203 contacts the ground. When the moving wheel 203 pushes the receiving plate 202 off the ground, the bidirectional rotation motor 205 is turned off, facilitating the movement of tank 101. When it is necessary to move another tank 101... Remove the wing screw 306 from the receiving hole 304 and the threaded groove 305, then move the locking rod 303 from the slot 302, then separate the receiving rings 201 at both ends, and move the receiving rings 201 to the bottom of the receiving rings 201 on the tank 101 that needs to be moved, then install the locking rod 303 in the slot 302, and tighten the wing screw 306 at the same time. This step can facilitate the movement of the tank 101 and achieve the stable placement of the tank 101.
