Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil storage technology, specifically to an oil storage tank structure. Background Technology
[0002] Fats and oils are triglycerides formed by the combination of glycerol and three fatty acids through ester bonds. Based on their physical state at room temperature, they are divided into oils (liquid, such as vegetable oils) and fats (solid, such as animal fats). They are mainly derived from plant and animal extracts (such as palm oil and tallow) and chemical synthesis (such as synthetic lubricants).
[0003] The oil used in cooking is called cooking oil. The outer packaging of cooking oil is usually a transparent plastic bucket, which is not only not conducive to the storage of cooking oil, but also requires lifting the cooking oil bucket to pour it out each time it is used. This is very difficult for people with little strength. Therefore, a structure for oil storage tank is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a structure for an oil storage tank.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is an oil storage tank structure, including an oil storage tank and a mounting base. A light-shielding shell is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the oil storage tank. A feed funnel is fixedly inserted into the top of the light-shielding shell. The inside of the feed funnel is connected to the inside of the oil storage tank. An oil outlet is provided at the bottom of the oil storage tank. A valve is sleeved on the outside of the oil outlet. An opening is provided at the bottom of the light-shielding shell for the oil outlet and valve to pass through.
[0006] The mounting base is L-shaped, and a slot is provided at the top of the horizontal end face of the mounting base. There are multiple slots. The bottom end of the light-shielding shell is fixedly connected to a support plate. Two support plates are provided opposite each other, and the bottom ends of the two support plates are fixedly connected to insert blocks. The multiple slots are used for inserting the insert blocks.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the oil tank and the mounting base can be quickly disassembled and assembled through the vertical insertion of the plug and the slot and the limiting cooperation between the slider and the groove. The L-shaped mounting base can be fixed to the wall through the bolt holes to save countertop space, or it can be placed directly on the countertop using the anti-slip rubber pad at the bottom, adapting to different kitchen layouts. The oil outlet is raised due to the height difference created by the support plate, which facilitates the natural flow of oil. The overall design takes into account the convenience of installation, spatial adaptability and stability of use.
[0008] The oil storage tank combines transparent tempered glass with an opaque rubber light-proof shell. The opening and closing of the channel is controlled by a sliding baffle, which not only meets the need for oil quantity visualization but also isolates light to prevent oil oxidation. The light-proof shell and the closable channel form a dynamic light-proof system, which reduces light exposure and avoids oil deterioration caused by frequent opening of the lid, thus significantly extending the shelf life of edible oil.
[0009] Specifically, a groove is provided on one side of the vertical end face of the mounting base, and a slider is fixedly connected to the outer side of the light-shielding shell. The slider is T-shaped, and the groove is adapted to the slider for the slider to be installed and inserted.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the T-shaped slider on the outside of the light-shielding shell is aligned with the slide groove and pushed in, and the horizontal fixation is achieved by the limiting effect of the slide groove. The T-shaped structure prevents the slider from accidentally falling out, ensures a firm connection between the oil tank and the mounting base, and facilitates disassembly and maintenance.
[0011] Specifically, bolt holes are provided at the four corners of the vertical end face of the mounting base, and an anti-slip rubber pad is fixedly attached to the bottom of the horizontal end face of the mounting base.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, users can fix the mounting base to the wall by passing bolts through the bolt holes, which is suitable for kitchens with limited space; if placed on the countertop, the anti-slip rubber pad on the bottom can increase friction, prevent the mounting base from sliding during operation, and improve stability.
[0013] Specifically, an installation sleeve is threaded onto the lower outer side of the oil outlet, and a filter screen is provided at the bottom of the installation sleeve.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting sleeve is screwed onto the oil outlet by threads. It can be cleaned or replaced after disassembly. The filter screen can intercept impurities in the oil and prevent residue from flowing into the cooking container.
[0015] Specifically, a through groove is provided on one side of the light-shielding shell, and a baffle is movably installed on the inner side of the through groove.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to check the oil level, the horizontal sliding baffle exposes the through groove, and the oil level can be directly observed through the transparent oil tank; after use, the baffle is closed to maintain the integrity of the light-proof shell and prevent the oil from deteriorating due to frequent exposure.
[0017] Specifically, the top of the feed funnel is fitted with a cap via a threaded connection.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when adding edible oil, simply unscrew the cap to inject the oil through the feeding funnel. After injecting the oil, tighten the cap to prevent dust or foreign objects from falling into the tank. At the same time, the threaded design ensures airtightness and prevents the oil from oxidizing upon contact with air.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] (1) The oil storage tank structure described in this utility model realizes the quick assembly and disassembly of the oil storage tank and the mounting base through the vertical insertion of the plug and the slot and the limiting cooperation between the slider and the groove. The L-shaped mounting base can be fixed to the wall through the bolt holes to save countertop space, or it can be placed directly on the countertop using the anti-slip rubber pad at the bottom, adapting to different kitchen layouts. The oil outlet forms a height difference due to the support plate being raised, which facilitates the natural flow of oil. The overall design takes into account the ease of installation, space adaptability and stability of use.
[0021] (2) The oil storage tank structure described in this utility model is made of transparent tempered glass and opaque rubber light-proof shell. The opening and closing of the through slot is controlled by sliding baffle, which not only meets the need for oil quantity visualization, but also isolates light to avoid oil oxidation. The light-proof shell and the closable through slot form a dynamic light-proof system, which reduces light exposure and avoids oil deterioration caused by frequent opening of the lid, thus significantly extending the shelf life of edible oil.

[0028] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0029] As one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the structure of the oil storage tank of this utility model includes an oil storage tank 4 and a mounting base 7. A light-shielding shell 2 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the oil storage tank 4. A feeding funnel 8 is fixedly inserted into the top of the light-shielding shell 2. The inside of the feeding funnel 8 is connected to the inside of the oil storage tank 4. An oil outlet 17 is provided at the bottom of the oil storage tank 4. A valve 15 is sleeved on the outside of the oil outlet 17. An opening is provided at the bottom of the light-shielding shell 2 for the oil outlet 17 and the valve 15 to pass through.
[0030] The mounting base 7 is L-shaped. The top of the horizontal end face of the mounting base 7 is provided with a slot 13. There are multiple slots 13. The bottom end of the light-shielding shell 2 is fixedly connected to a support plate 6. There are two support plates 6 facing each other. The bottom ends of the two support plates 6 are fixedly connected to insert blocks 9. The multiple slots 13 are used for inserting the insert blocks 9.
[0031] In use, by inserting the plug 9 at the bottom of the support plate 6 into the slot 13 at the top of the mounting base 7, the oil tank 4 can be quickly fixed vertically to the mounting base 7, and the oil outlet 17 can be raised to a certain height to facilitate the discharge of oil. The distribution position of the slot 13 matches the plug 9, ensuring that no additional angle adjustment is required during installation. At the same time, the horizontal end face of the L-shaped mounting base 7 provides stable support for the oil tank 4.
[0032] It should be noted that the oil storage tank 4 is made of transparent tempered glass, while the light-proof outer shell 2 is made of opaque black rubber. The transparent tempered glass of the oil storage tank 4 allows users to directly observe the oil level, while the black rubber outer shell 2 completely blocks light, preventing the edible oil from oxidizing and deteriorating due to light exposure. The combination of the two satisfies the need for visibility while ensuring a light-proof storage environment.
[0033] The present invention also includes a sliding groove 12 provided on one side of the vertical end face of the mounting base 7, and a slider 10 fixedly connected to the outer side of the light-shielding shell 2. The slider 10 is T-shaped and the sliding groove 12 is adapted to the slider 10. The sliding groove 12 is used for the slider 10 to be installed and inserted.
[0034] When in use, align the T-shaped slider 10 on the outside of the light-shielding shell 2 with the slide groove 12 and push it in. The slide groove 12 will limit the horizontal fixation. The T-shaped structure prevents the slider 10 from accidentally coming out, ensuring a firm connection between the oil tank 4 and the mounting base 7, while also facilitating disassembly and maintenance.
[0035] The present invention also includes bolt holes 11 at the four corners of the vertical end face of the mounting base 7, and anti-slip rubber pads 5 are fixedly attached to the bottom of the horizontal end face of the mounting base 7.
[0036] When in use, the user can fix the mounting base 7 to the wall by passing the bolt through the bolt hole 11, which is suitable for kitchens with limited space; if placed on the countertop, the anti-slip rubber pad 5 on the bottom can increase the friction and prevent the mounting base 7 from sliding during operation, thus improving stability.
[0037] The present invention also includes a mounting sleeve 16 threadedly connected to the lower outer side of the oil outlet 17, and a filter screen 18 provided at the bottom end of the mounting sleeve 16.
[0038] When in use, the mounting sleeve 16 is screwed onto the oil outlet 17 by threads. It can be removed for cleaning or replacement. The filter screen 18 can intercept impurities in the oil and prevent residue from flowing into the cooking container.
[0039] The present invention also includes a through groove 1 on one side of the light-shielding shell 2, and a baffle 3 is movably installed on the inner side of the through groove 1.
[0040] When in use, if it is necessary to check the oil level, the horizontal sliding baffle 3 is exposed to the through groove 1, and the oil level can be directly observed through the transparent oil tank 4; after use, the baffle 3 is closed to maintain the integrity of the light-proof shell 2 and prevent the oil from deteriorating due to frequent exposure.
[0041] This utility model also includes a cap 14 threadedly connected to the top of the feed hopper 8.
[0042] When adding cooking oil, simply unscrew the cap 14 to pour the oil through the feed funnel 8. After pouring the oil, tighten the cap 14 to prevent dust or foreign objects from falling into the tank. The threaded design ensures a tight seal and prevents the oil from oxidizing upon contact with air.
[0043] In use, first insert the insert block 9 at the bottom of the support plate 6 into the slot 13 at the top of the mounting base 7, allowing the slider 10 to slide in along the slide groove 12. This connects the light-shielding shell 2 to the mounting base 7. Place the mounting base 7 on a kitchen workbench or fix it to the wall by passing bolts through the bolt holes 11. Then, unscrew the cap 14 and pour the cooking oil into the oil storage tank 4 through the feed funnel 8. After pouring, screw the cap 14 back on. Installed at the top of the feed funnel 8, it can completely cover the feed funnel 8 to prevent impurities from falling into the oil storage tank 4 through the feed funnel 8. By pulling open the baffle 3 to expose the through groove 1, the oil storage situation inside the oil storage tank 4 can be observed. When oil is needed, place a bowl directly below the oil outlet 17, and simply open the valve 15 to let the oil in the oil storage tank 4 flow out from the oil outlet 17. When not in use, the valve 15 should be kept closed, and the baffle 3 can cover the through groove 1 to ensure that the oil storage tank 4 is completely protected from light.
