Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage tanks, and in particular to an insulated transport tank and an insulated transport tank truck. Background Technology

[0002] For storage tanks and tank trucks, a walkway is typically provided on the top of the tank for staff movement. However, traditional storage tanks usually require multiple fixed supports on the top to stably support the walkway. Furthermore, these supports are often directly fixed to the tank using welding or bolts. This structural design leads to several problems: First, the fixed supports are in direct contact with the tank body, increasing heat dissipation and reducing the tank's insulation performance. Second, the installation of the fixed supports can easily affect the sealing of the insulation layer, reducing its insulating effect. Third, the fixed supports require openings in the insulation layer surface, which can allow water to seep in and further compromise insulation. Therefore, the traditional walkway structure and its installation significantly reduce the insulation performance of storage tanks. Utility Model Content

[0003] One objective of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide an insulated transport tank and insulated transport tank truck that offers better insulation performance and is easier to manufacture and maintain efficiently.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An insulated transport container, comprising:

[0006] A storage tank includes a tank body and a protruding structure disposed on the top of the tank body, the protruding structure protruding from the top of the tank body;

[0007] A walkway structure is distributed along the axial direction of the tank and located on the top of the tank. The walkway structure includes multiple walkway panels, a front support and a rear support. The front support is located at the front end of the tank and the rear support is located at the rear end of the tank. The multiple walkway panels are supported on the top of the tank by the protruding structure, the front support and the rear support.

[0008] In one exemplary embodiment, there is no other supporting structure between the walkway slab and the tank.

[0009] In one exemplary embodiment, the walkway panel includes a body and reinforcing portions located on both sides of the body. The reinforcing portions extend axially, and in the vertical direction of the tank, the height of the reinforcing portions is higher than the height of the body, and the thickness of the reinforcing portions is greater than the thickness of the body.

[0010] In one exemplary embodiment, the reinforcing part and the body are integrally bent or welded together.

[0011] In an exemplary embodiment, the reinforcing portion includes a first bending portion and a second bending portion connected in sequence. The first bending portion bends away from the body and includes a first surface higher than the body. The second bending portion bends downward from the first bending portion and there is a gap between the second bending portion and the top surface of the tank. The second bending portion includes a second surface facing the outside of the walkway plate.

[0012] In one exemplary embodiment, a guardrail is also included, which is mounted on the second surface.

[0013] In one exemplary embodiment, the reinforcing portion further includes a third bending portion connected to the second bending portion, the third bending portion bending toward the body, and the third bending portion including a third surface toward the body.

[0014] In one exemplary embodiment, a support beam is further included, which is perpendicular to the reinforcing portion, and both ends of the support beam are fixedly connected to the second bending portion, and the support beam is pressed against the third surface.

[0015] In one exemplary embodiment, the body is provided with reinforcing ribs that extend along the axial direction.

[0016] In one exemplary embodiment, the protruding structure is square, and the outer side of the protruding structure is provided with a connecting surface for connecting walkway panels.

[0017] In one exemplary embodiment, a ladder is also included, the top of which is fixed to the walkway structure.

[0018] A refrigerated transport tanker includes a chassis and a refrigerated transport tank, wherein the refrigerated transport tank is supported on the chassis.

[0019] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0020] The aforementioned insulated transport tank features a walkway structure supported by raised features, eliminating the need for direct welding to the outer wall of the tank and reducing heat dissipation pathways and welding workload. Furthermore, fewer connection points on the tank surface reduce the likelihood of water seepage into the insulation layer, improving its insulation performance. The walkway structure also facilitates the installation and wrapping of the insulation layer, enabling more efficient manufacturing and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Typical embodiments embodying the features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that this utility model can have various variations in different embodiments, all of which do not depart from the scope of this utility model, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit this utility model.

[0034] In the description of this application, it should be understood that, in the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, the indications of direction or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back) are merely for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the accompanying drawings. If the description of the positions of these elements changes, these directional indications also change accordingly.

[0035] This invention provides an insulated transport tanker truck and its insulated transport tank. The insulated transport tank can be used to transport edible oil or other edible liquids. The insulated transport tank has good heat preservation properties.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 The insulated transport tanker of this embodiment includes an insulated transport tank 10 and a frame 20, with the frame 20 supporting the insulated transport tank 10. The insulated transport tanker of this embodiment can be towed by a tractor (not shown), in which case the front end of the insulated transport tank 10 can be supported on the tractor, and the rear end of the insulated transport tank 10 is supported on the frame 20.

[0037] The insulated transport tank 10 of this embodiment includes a storage tank 11 and a walkway structure 12. The storage tank 11 is used to store the medium to be transported, and the walkway structure 12 is located above the storage tank 11 for carrying personnel to walk on.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 The storage tank 11 includes a tank body 111 and a protruding structure 112 disposed on the top of the tank body 111. The protruding structure 112 protrudes from the top of the tank body 111. The tank body 111 can be a horizontal storage tank and is provided with an insulation layer (not shown) covering the outer surface.

[0039] The raised structure 112 can be an existing functional device on the top of the tank 111, such as an overflow box or manhole structure, without the need for additional structures. The raised structure 112 only needs to provide support and can be fixedly connected to the walkway structure 12. Therefore, the walkway structure 12 achieves its fixed support using the existing raised structure 112, avoiding increasing its contact area with the tank 111, reducing welding work between it and the tank 111, reducing heat dissipation paths of the tank 111, and improving the insulation effect of the tank 111's insulation layer. Furthermore, the reduction in surface welding and fixing work on the tank 111 reduces the need for openings on the insulation layer surface, facilitating the manufacturing and maintenance of the tank.

[0040] The outer side of the protruding structure 112 is provided with a connecting surface 113, which is flat to facilitate support of the walkway structure 12. A connector 114 is provided on the connecting surface 113, and the connector 114 has bolt holes for bolting the walkway structure 12.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the protruding structure 112 can be square. The outer surface of the protruding structure 112 is provided with a connecting surface 113 for connecting to the walkway slab 121. Since the protruding structure 112 is square, the connecting surface 113 is flat, which facilitates support of the walkway structure 12. Furthermore, a connector 114 can also be provided on the connecting surface 113 of the protruding structure 112. The connector 114 is provided with bolt holes for bolting the protruding structure 112 and the walkway slab 121.

[0042] The protruding structure 112 can be an overflow box located on the top of the tank 111. When the tank 111 stores liquid or hazardous media, an overflow box is provided on the top of the tank 111 to prevent the media in the tank 111 from overflowing.

[0043] In other embodiments, the protrusion structure 112 may also have other shapes, such as a cylindrical shape, and may be a manhole structure or other protrusion structure.

[0044] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 The walkway structure 12 is distributed along the axial direction of the tank body 111 and is located on the top of the tank body 111. The walkway structure 12 includes multiple walkway plates 121, a front support 122 and a rear support 123.

[0045] A front support 122 is located at the front end of the tank 111, and a rear support 123 is located at the rear end of the tank 111. Both the front and rear supports 122 and 123 are rigid supports. Their structures are largely similar. Each of the front and rear supports 122 and 123 has two legs, which are fixedly connected to the tank 111 to minimize their contact area. The extension direction of the front and rear supports 122 and 123 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the tank 111 to provide stable support.

[0046] Multiple walkway panels 121 are mounted on top of the tank body 111 by a raised structure 112, a front support 122, and a rear support 123. The front support 122 and the rear support 123 are located at the front and rear ends of the tank body 111, respectively, providing end support for the walkway panels 121 located at the front and rear ends.

[0047] Between the walkway 121 and the tank 111, apart from the walkway 121 at the front and rear ends contacting the tank 111 via the front support 122 and the rear support 123, there are no other supporting structures between the walkway 121 and the tank 111. Therefore, compared to conventional storage tanks, the storage tank of this embodiment no longer has other fixed supports between the walkway 121 and the tank 111, thus greatly reducing the contact points and contact area between the walkway 121 and the tank 111.

[0048] There can be multiple walkway panels 121. There can also be multiple raised structures 112. The two ends of the walkway panels 121 at the front end are supported on the front support 122 and the raised structures 112, respectively. The two ends of the walkway panels 121 at the rear end are supported on the rear support 123 and the raised structures 112, respectively. The two ends of the walkway panels 121 in the middle only need to be supported and fixed by two adjacent raised structures 112. Therefore, in this embodiment, the walkway structure 12 utilizes the existing raised structures 112, reducing the welding work between the walkway panels 121 and the tank body 111, and ensuring the insulation effect of the insulation layer of the tank body 111. Furthermore, without the extra walkway support frames on the tank body 111, the installation of the insulation layer on the outside of the tank body 111 is more convenient and simpler, reducing installation workload and production time.

[0049] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The walkway panel 121 includes a main body 124 and reinforcing portions 125 located on both sides of the main body 124. The reinforcing portions 125 extend axially in the vertical direction of the tank body 111. The height of the reinforcing portions 125 is greater than the height of the main body 124, and the thickness of the reinforcing portions 125 is greater than the thickness of the main body 124.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the reinforcing part 125 and the main body 124 are integrally bent structures.

[0051] The main body 124 is made of sheet metal, and its surface may have an anti-slip structure formed by stamping. This anti-slip structure consists of perforations, which can reduce the weight of the main body.

[0052] The main body 124 is provided with reinforcing ribs 1241 along the axial direction of the tank body 111. The reinforcing ribs 1241 can be stamped ribs. The reinforcing ribs 1241 and the main body 124 are an integral structure, enhancing the strength of the main body. Multiple reinforcing ribs 1241 can be used. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing ribs 1241 can be triangular. This type of reinforcing rib 1241 has high strength, improving the load-bearing capacity of the main body 124 and making it less prone to deformation under pressure. The reinforcing ribs 1241 can also be steel bars, reinforcing strips, etc.; the specific structure of the reinforcing ribs 1241 is not limited here.

[0053] The reinforcing portion 125 includes a first bent portion 1251 and a second bent portion 1253 connected in sequence. The first bent portion 1251 bends away from the body 124 and includes a first surface 1252 that is higher than the body 124. The first surface 1252 raises the height of the reinforcing portion 125, increases the overall thickness of the reinforcing portion 125, and enhances the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing portion 125.

[0054] The second bend 1253 bends downward from the first bend 1251, and a gap exists between the second bend 1253 and the top surface of the tank body 111. The second bend 1253 includes a second surface 1254, which faces away from the main body 124 and towards the outer side of the walkway plate 121. Because the first surface 1252 is relatively high, the second surface 1254 is also relatively wide in the vertical direction, which facilitates installation. Furthermore, the second bend 1253 does not come into contact with the tank body 111, ensuring the heat insulation effect of the tank body 111.

[0055] Please see Figure 6 The walkway structure 12 also includes a guardrail 127, which is mounted on the second surface 1254. The second surface 1254 is heightened by a second bend 1253, and the height of the second surface 1254 allows for the installation of the guardrail 127. Specifically, the second surface 1254 has mounting screw holes, and the guardrail 127 can be fastened to the second surface 1254 with bolts. Therefore, the guardrail 127 can be directly installed on the reinforcing part 125, avoiding the need for welding between the guardrail 127 and the tank body 111.

[0056] A diagonal brace 128 is also provided between the guardrail 127 and the raised structure 112. One end of the diagonal brace 128 is supported on the outer side of the raised structure 112, and the other end is connected to the guardrail 127 to improve the stability and strength of the guardrail 127.

[0057] Please refer to it again. Figure 5 The reinforcing part 125 also includes a third bending part 1255 connected to the second bending part 1253. The third bending part 1255 bends toward the body 124. The side of the third bending part 1255 facing the body 124 is a third surface 1256.

[0058] The first bend 1251 of the reinforcing part 125 of the walkway slab 121 has a large bending height, which greatly increases the bending strength and load-bearing capacity of the walkway slab 121. The reinforcing rib 1241 in the middle of the walkway slab 121 increases the central support strength of the walkway slab 121, eliminating the need for additional reinforcement. The reinforcing rib 1241 does not require additional parts and can be directly formed by bending the walkway slab 121, making the structure of the walkway slab 121 simple and easy to manufacture.

[0059] Please refer to it again. Figure 4The walkway structure 12 also includes a support beam 126, which is fixedly mounted on the body 124. The support beam 126 is perpendicular to the reinforcing part 125. The support beam 126 is located on the back of the body 124. The two ends of the support beam 126 are welded to the second bending parts 1253 on both sides, thereby ensuring the support strength in the middle of the walkway slab 121. The support beam 126 can be pressed against the third surface 1256 to enhance the connection strength between the support beam 126 and the walkway slab 121.

[0060] In other embodiments, the reinforcing part 125 and the body 124 can also be a welded structure. In this case, the walkway panel can also be made by splicing multiple plates together.

[0061] The support beam 126 can be made of channel steel, I-beam, etc. The support beam 126 is also provided with weight-reducing holes 1261. These weight-reducing holes 1261 reduce the weight of the support beam 126 while ensuring its strength.

[0062] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The insulated transport tank 10 of this embodiment also includes a ladder 13, the top of which is fixed to the walkway structure 12. The ladder 13 is located at the rear end of the tank body 111, and the top of the ladder 13 is fixed to the rear support 123. The top of the ladder 13 is fixed through the walkway structure 12, which also avoids contact fixation between the ladder 13 and the outer surface of the tank body 11, avoids increasing the heat dissipation path, and improves the heat preservation effect of the tank body 11.

[0063] The insulated transport tank 10 provided in this embodiment has a walkway structure 12 supported by a protruding structure 112, which eliminates the need for direct welding to the outer wall of the tank body 111, reducing heat dissipation paths and welding workload. Furthermore, fewer connection points on the surface of the tank body 111 reduce the probability of water seepage into the insulation layer, improving its insulation effect. Additionally, the design of the walkway structure 12 facilitates the installation of the insulation layer on the tank body 111, making efficient manufacturing and maintenance easier.

[0064] The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples of structures. The structures in each embodiment are not fixed combinations. In the absence of structural conflicts, the structures in multiple embodiments can be arbitrarily combined and used.

[0065] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
