Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and transportation technology, specifically a new type of dry bulk cargo tank container. Background Technology
[0002] Tank containers are specialized containers manufactured for transporting liquid goods such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Their structure consists of a liquid tank fixed within a metal frame. An international standard tank is a stainless steel pressure vessel mounted within a secure external frame. The inner liner of the tank is mostly made of 316 stainless steel. Most tank containers are equipped with steam or electric heating devices, inert gas protection devices, pressure reducing devices, and other optional equipment required for fluid transport and handling.
[0003] Dry bulk cargo refers to various primary products and raw materials. Generally, based on the size of the transported quantity, dry bulk cargo is divided into two categories: bulk cargo and small-volume cargo. Bulk cargo mainly includes: coal, metal ores, and grains; small-volume cargo includes: steel, timber, fertilizers, and cement.
[0004] A search revealed a novel dry bulk cargo tank container disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218173395U. Its key technical features include: a fixed base plate and a container body; a first support frame fixedly connected to the top of the container body; a fourth support frame fixedly connected to the middle of the first support frame; a first fixing block fixedly connected to the top of the fourth support frame; a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the side of the fourth support frame; one end of the hydraulic cylinder rotatably connected to the first fixing block; and a second fixing block fixedly connected to the lower left side of the container body, the lower part of which rotatably connects to the piston rod in the hydraulic cylinder. This invention solves the problems of existing dry bulk cargo tank containers, where the horizontal position of the tank body results in slow discharge speed, wasting considerable time, and the pressure of the internal material during transportation easily damaging the valve at the discharge port, leading to valve loosening and leakage of internal material over time.
[0005] However, the lack of a buffer and shock absorption mechanism in existing technologies makes containers susceptible to significant impacts during transshipment and loading / unloading, potentially causing deformation or damage and affecting normal use. This application addresses this deficiency by incorporating components such as support rods and sliders. The support rods, through the sliders, drive the contraction of damping rods, thereby absorbing and reducing impact forces and achieving a protective effect for the container. Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model discloses a novel dry bulk tank container, comprising a fixed frame, a transport tank fixedly connected inside the fixed frame, a base plate provided below the fixed frame, four support rods rotatably connected to the lower surface of the fixed frame, a slider rotatably connected to the other end of each support rod, four sliding grooves formed on the upper surface of the base plate, four damping rods fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate, a spring sleeved on the outer surface of each damping rod, and four limiting members fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate.
[0007] Furthermore, a hollow rod is rotatably connected inside the transport tank, and a cleaning valve is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the transport tank.
[0008] Furthermore, a control box is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixed frame, and a first rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the transport tank.
[0009] Furthermore, each of the limiting components has a limiting groove on its outer surface, and each limiting groove has a limiting pin inside it.
[0010] Furthermore, the transport tank is rotatably connected to an auger, and a scraper is installed inside the transport tank.
[0011] Furthermore, four top blocks are fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame, and two bottom grooves are formed on the lower surface of the base plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a second pulley is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the transport tank, and the second pulley is driven by a transmission belt.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model, by setting up components such as support rods and sliders, and through the cooperation between the support rods and sliders, enables the support rods to drive the damping rods to retract via the sliders, thereby achieving the effect of buffering the impact force on the bottom plate by setting up support rods and sliders. This solves the shortcomings of current technical solutions that lack shock absorption mechanisms and are not convenient for protecting containers.
[0015] 2. This utility model, by setting up a scraper and an auger, and through the cooperation between the scraper and the auger, enables the scraper and the auger to scrape the inner wall of the transport tank by rotating, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the material adhering to the inner wall of the transport tank by setting up a scraper and an auger.

Each slider 5 is slidably connected to the base plate 3 through the corresponding groove 6. Each slider 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding damping rod 7. One end of each spring 8 is in contact with the outer surface of the corresponding slider 5, and the other end of each spring 8 is in contact with the outer surface of the corresponding damping rod 7. When the base plate 3 is impacted, the base plate 3 and the fixed frame 1 move relative to each other, causing the support rod 4 to drive the slider 5 to slide. The slider 5 drives the damping rod 7 to contract, and the spring 8 is compressed, thereby reducing and buffering the impact on the fixed frame 2 and the transport tank 3.
[0026] Each limiting component 9 has a limiting groove 14 on its outer surface, and each limiting groove 14 has a limiting pin 15 inside. Each limiting pin 15 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed frame 1. The limiting pin 15 plays an auxiliary limiting role for the fixed frame 1 through the limiting groove 14.
[0027] A hollow rod 10 is rotatably connected inside the transport tank 2. A cleaning valve 11 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the transport tank 2. Several nozzles are opened on the outer surface of the hollow rod 10. The cleaning valve 11 is connected to the inside of the hollow rod 10. Water is injected into the inside of the hollow rod 10 through the cleaning valve 11, so that the water is sprayed out from the nozzles on the outer surface of the hollow rod 10, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the transport tank 2.
[0028] A control box 12 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixed frame 1, and a first rotating wheel 13 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the transport tank 2.

The scraper 17 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the central rod 3, and the scraper 17 is in contact with the inner wall of the transport tank 2.
[0030] The top of the fixed frame 1 is fixedly connected with four top blocks 18, and the bottom plate 3 has two bottom grooves 19 on its lower surface. The top blocks 18 and bottom grooves 19 are matched. By setting the top blocks 18 and bottom grooves 19, the container can be more stable when stacked.

The slider 5 causes the damping rod 7 to contract, compressing the spring 8, thereby damping and buffering the impact on the fixed frame 2 and the transport tank 3. During discharge, the discharge port is opened, and the motor is started. The output end of the motor drives the first pulley 13 to rotate. The rotation of the first pulley 13 causes the auger 16 to rotate, and the auger 16 discharges the material inside the transport tank 2 through rotation. During cleaning... Water is injected into the hollow rod 13 through the cleaning valve 11, and the water flow is sprayed out through the nozzle to clean the inner wall of the transport tank 2. The motor is started, the first pulley 13 rotates, the first pulley 13 drives the auger 16 to rotate, the first pulley 13 drives the second pulley 20 to rotate through the transmission belt 21, the second pulley 20 drives the hollow rod 13 to rotate, and the hollow rod 13 drives the scraper 17 to rotate, scraping the inner wall of the transport tank 2, so that the residual material and cleaning water on the inner wall of the transport tank 2 are discharged through the discharge port.
