Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a cleaning equipment for ICB stainless steel ton containers. Background Technology
[0002] ICB stainless steel ton containers are large containers used for storing and transporting liquids or solids. Due to the excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and stability of stainless steel, they are widely used in the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries. In the field of unsaturated resin production and processing, ICB stainless steel ton containers are often used to store and transport unsaturated resin raw materials or finished products. Because unsaturated resins are acidic and tend to harden and adhere to the inner wall surface of the ton container during storage and transportation, the ton containers must be thoroughly cleaned before reuse to ensure the quality and safety of subsequent materials and the reusability of the containers.
[0003] Existing ICB stainless steel ton-of-container (IBC) cleaning equipment mostly employs a single cleaning method, such as relying solely on high-pressure water rinsing or simple chemical reagent soaking. For unsaturated resin that has solidified on the IBC surface, conventional high-pressure water rinsing is insufficient to break down its solidified structure, and chemical reagent soaking often results in incomplete cleaning due to insufficient reaction, affecting the safe reuse of the IBC. Some companies have attempted to manually scrub the IBC with highly volatile solvents to remove stubborn resin residues. However, in enclosed or poorly ventilated cleaning environments, highly volatile solvents easily evaporate, forming high-concentration vapors. This not only poses significant safety hazards due to flammability and explosion, but also poses serious occupational hazards to workers who are exposed to such environments for extended periods, continuously inhaling high concentrations of harmful solvent vapors, leading to respiratory illnesses and nervous system damage. Therefore, this paper proposes a new ICB stainless steel IBC cleaning equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an ICB stainless steel ton container cleaning device, which aims to improve the existing technology for cleaning unsaturated resin that has been cured on the surface of the ton container.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 The first cleaning component includes an alkali tank 7 and a sedimentation tank 9. Both the alkali tank 7 and the sedimentation tank 9 are fixedly connected to the top left side of the base plate 21. The alkali tank 7 is used to store a caustic soda solution of a certain concentration. The sedimentation tank 9 is used to receive and settle the caustic soda water returned from the cleaning process. An alkali pump 8 is installed between the alkali tank 7 and the sedimentation tank 9. The alkali pump 8 can transport the caustic soda solution in the alkali tank 7 to the sedimentation tank 9. A shower pump 10 is installed on the right side of the sedimentation tank 9. The shower pump 10 can extract the caustic soda water that has undergone sedimentation treatment in the sedimentation tank 9. The output end of the shower pump 10 is connected to the inside of the sedimentation tank 9. A water distributor 11 is installed at the output end of the shower pump 10 through a pipe. The water distributor 11 sprays the caustic soda water delivered by the shower pump 10 evenly onto the surface of the stainless steel ton barrel. Taking advantage of the chemical properties of unsaturated resin being acidic and caustic soda being a strong alkali, the surface of the ton barrel is rinsed and wetted to remove stains and some impurities from the surface of the ton barrel.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-3The second cleaning component includes a water storage tank 12, which is fixedly connected to the top right side of the base plate 21. The water storage tank 12 is used to store clean water required for cleaning the stainless steel ton container and provides a water source for the high-pressure cleaning process. A water replenishment pump 13 is provided on the left side of the water storage tank 12. The water replenishment pump 13 can draw clean water from an external water source to replenish the water storage tank 12 in a timely manner according to the water level in the water storage tank 12.

The output end of the high-pressure plunger pump 15 is provided with a high-pressure nozzle 16 through a pipe. The high-pressure nozzle 16 impacts the surface of the stainless steel ton container with a water flow of 500 PSI pressure, which completely cleans the hardened resin and dust on the surface of the ton container and further improves the cleaning effect.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The outer walls of the alkali tank 7, sedimentation tank 9 and water storage tank 12 are all equipped with level gauges 17. The level gauges 17 can monitor the liquid level in the alkali tank 7, sedimentation tank 9 and water storage tank 12 in real time. The staff can intuitively understand the storage status of the liquid in the tank through the level gauges 17.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 pH probes 18 are installed on the outer walls of the alkali tank 7, water tank 12 and sedimentation tank 9. The pH probes 18 are used to detect the acidity and alkalinity of the liquid in the alkali tank 7, water tank 12 and sedimentation tank 9 in real time. During the cleaning process, the information fed back by the pH probes 18 can automatically adjust the operation of the alkali pump 8.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A temperature probe 19 is installed on the outer wall of the sedimentation tank 9 near the alkali pump 8. The temperature probe 19 is used to monitor the temperature of the caustic soda solution in the sedimentation tank 9 in real time, because the temperature will affect the chemical reaction rate between the caustic soda solution and the unsaturated resin and the cleaning effect. A heating rod 20 is installed on the outer wall of the sedimentation tank 9 near the shower pump 10. The heating rod 20 heats the caustic soda solution to keep its temperature within a suitable range and ensure the cleaning effect.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water storage tank 12 is equipped with three filters 14. The filters 14 can filter the clean water in the water storage tank 12, remove impurities and particles in the water, and prevent these impurities from entering the high-pressure plunger pump 15 and the high-pressure nozzle 16.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The input end of the alkali pump 8 is connected to the inside of the alkali tank 7 through a pipe, and the output end of the alkali pump 8 is connected to the inside of the sedimentation tank 9 through a pipe. The alkali pump 8 can accurately deliver the caustic soda solution stored in the alkali tank 7 to the sedimentation tank 9, and adjust the delivery volume in a timely manner according to the concentration detection of the caustic soda water in the sedimentation tank 9.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The input end of the water replenishment pump 13 is connected to an external water source through a pipe, and the output end of the water replenishment pump 13 is connected to the inside of the water storage tank 12 through a pipe. When the water level in the water storage tank 12 drops, the water replenishment pump 13 can promptly draw clean water from the external water source to replenish the water storage tank 12, ensuring that there is always enough water in the water storage tank 12 to supply the high-pressure cleaning process.
[0039] Working Principle: After the stainless steel ton container is placed on the conveyor belt 2, the motor 3 drives the conveyor belt 2 to operate at a set flow rate, transporting the ton container to different cleaning stations in sequence. First, it enters the cleaning range of the first cleaning component. The alkali pump 8 delivers the caustic soda solution from the alkali tank 7 to the sedimentation tank 9, adjusting the concentration of the caustic soda solution in the sedimentation tank 9. Subsequently, the shower pump 10 extracts the caustic soda solution that has undergone sedimentation treatment from the sedimentation tank 9 and sprays it evenly onto the surface of the ton container through the water distributor 11. Because the unsaturated resin is acidic and caustic soda is a strong alkali, the two react chemically, wetting and softening the hardened resin on the surface of the ton container.
[0040] During this process, the pH probe 18 on the outer wall of the sedimentation tank 9 monitors the acidity and alkalinity of the caustic soda solution in real time, feeding back the information to the control system, which automatically adjusts the operation of the alkali addition pump 8 to stabilize the concentration of the caustic soda solution. The temperature probe 19 monitors the temperature of the caustic soda solution, and when the temperature is lower than the set value, the heating rod 20 starts heating to ensure that the chemical reaction takes place at a suitable temperature. At the same time, the level gauges 17 on the outer walls of the alkali tank 7, sedimentation tank 9, and water storage tank 12 monitor the liquid level in real time to ensure an adequate supply of cleaning solution.
[0041] After being soaked in caustic soda solution, the ton containers are conveyed by conveyor belt 2 into the high-pressure cleaning chamber of the second cleaning component. High-pressure plunger pump 15 draws clean water filtered through three filters 14 from water tank 12, pressurizes it to 500 PSI, and uses high-pressure nozzles 16 to spray high-pressure water onto the surface of the ton containers, thoroughly washing away the softened resin and dust. Water replenishment pump 13 monitors the water level in water tank 12 in real time and replenishes water from an external source as needed to ensure the continuous operation of the high-pressure cleaning process.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only 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, 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.
