Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water tanks, specifically relating to a locking device for the mouth of a fiberglass food water tank. Background Technology

[0002] Fiberglass food water tanks are containers commonly used to store drinking water or food-grade liquids. Their structural design takes into account strength, corrosion resistance, and hygiene requirements. In the field of food storage and transportation, the sealing performance of food water tanks is crucial, as it directly affects the quality, safety, and shelf life of food.

[0003] The sealing device of a typical food water container usually uses a flange structure to fix the sealing cap to the container opening. The sealing of the water container is achieved through the cooperation between the flange and the container opening and the elastic deformation of the sealing ring. This sealing method can meet basic sealing requirements to a certain extent. The structure is relatively simple and easy to install and disassemble. However, the sealing structure of a single flange and sealing ring has obvious limitations. During long-term use, the sealing ring will gradually age and wear due to compression, friction, and environmental factors such as temperature changes, humidity, and food component corrosion, resulting in reduced elasticity and decreased sealing performance. At the same time, the flange connection may loosen due to vibration, collision, or long-term stress, making the fit between the flange and the container opening worse and further affecting the sealing effect. Once the seal fails, external air, moisture, dust, and microorganisms can easily enter the container, causing food spoilage and decay. This not only causes economic losses but may also threaten the health of consumers. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problem that the sealing effect of a single flange seal may decrease after long-term transportation when using a water tank mouth locking device, a new type of fiberglass food water tank mouth locking device is proposed.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a fiberglass food water tank mouth locking device, including a tank body and a fixing structure. The fixing structure includes a fixing cylinder and a sealing ring 1. The fixing cylinder is fixedly connected to the opening of the tank body. An outer sealing structure and an inner sealing structure are installed inside the fixing cylinder. The outer sealing structure includes a sealing cover 1 and a sealing seat. The inner sealing structure includes a sealing ring 2 and a sealing cover 2. The inner wall of the fixing cylinder is fixedly connected to the sealing ring 2 and the sealing ring 1, which are distributed on the left and right sides. The sealing cover 2 is hinged to the left end of the sealing ring 2. The sealing seat is fixedly connected to the center of the left end of the sealing cover 1. The outer wall of the sealing seat is attached to the inner wall of the fixing cylinder. The left end of the sealing seat has a groove 1 that surrounds the tank. A sealing ring 1 is installed in the groove 1. The right end of the sealing ring 1 has a groove 2. The left end of the sealing seat is attached to the right end of the sealing ring 1. The outer wall of the sealing ring 1 is attached to the inner wall of the groove 2. The outer wall of the fixing cylinder has slots that are distributed vertically. An air inlet valve and an air outlet valve are installed in the upper and lower slots, respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, six fixing holes are equidistantly distributed around the right edge of the fixing cylinder, and positioning sleeves are fixedly connected to the right openings of the fixing holes.

[0007] Furthermore, the right end of the sealing cover has a series of equally spaced fixing holes, which correspond one-to-one with the fixing holes.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the positioning sleeve fits into the inner wall of the fixing hole one, and the sealing cover one is fixed to the right end of the fixing cylinder by bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the fixed cylinder is fixed with six reinforcing ribs that are equidistantly arranged around the perimeter, and the left end of the reinforcing ribs is fixed to the outer wall of the tank.

[0010] Furthermore, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the right edge of the sealing cover 2, and a groove is opened at the upper end of the fixing block, with a spring pin installed on the inner wall of the groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the left end of the spring pin is attached to the right end of the second sealing ring, and the right edge of the second sealing cover is fixed with the second sealing ring, the right end of the second sealing ring being attached to the left end of the second sealing ring.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By flipping and closing the sealing cover two hinged to the left end of the sealing ring two, a certain sealing effect can be provided to the tank. The sealing seat can fit against the inner wall of the fixed cylinder and the right end of the sealing ring one, providing a certain sealing effect to the tank. Then, the sealing ring one in the groove one can cooperate with the groove two to improve the sealing effect of the sealing cover one to the fixed cylinder. Finally, the vacuum pump connected to the air outlet valve can evacuate the space between the sealing ring one and the sealing ring two, and atmospheric pressure can assist in fixing the sealing cover one and the sealing cover two. Compared with the existing water tank mouth locking device, the added inner sealing structure and outer sealing structure can provide a double sealing effect to the tank. The vacuum pump can evacuate the space between the sealing cover one and the sealing cover two, and atmospheric pressure can push the sealing cover one and the sealing cover two to fit and press the sealing ring one and the sealing ring two, thereby improving the sealing effect of the tank.
