Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edible oil production technology, and in particular to a crude oil tank that prevents sedimentation. Background Technology
[0002] Edible oil production requires crude oil. Currently, most crude oil purchased by enterprises comes from abroad. Due to different processing techniques, crude oil contains more impurities. Furthermore, during storage, crude oil from different suppliers may be stored in the same tank, resulting in quality differences. Prolonged storage of crude oil can lead to stratification, and oil sediment will form at the bottom of the tank. This affects refining efficiency, poses a risk of clogging centrifuges, causes a decline in oil quality, and makes tank cleaning difficult and results in significant losses.
[0003] Currently, most companies have installed rotary jet agitators on their crude oil tanks for mixing and blending. However, these current rotary jet agitators are installed at the bottom of the tank. They generate rotational force through oil supply for both oil supply and mixing. The outlet angle of the rotary jet agitator needs to be customized according to the diameter and depth of the crude oil tank, limiting its applicability. Furthermore, when damaged, it requires waiting for replacement parts, affecting operational efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this patent application is how to provide a crude oil tank with good anti-deposition effect and simple structure.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A crude oil tank for preventing sedimentation includes a tank body, an oil supply pipe at the bottom of the tank body, the oil supply pipe being connected to the tank body via a bracket, an end of the oil supply pipe being connected to a rotary sprayer, the rotation axis of the rotary sprayer being aligned with the axis of the tank body, an oil outlet pipe on the rotary sprayer, a first flange at the end of the oil outlet pipe, a groove being provided inwardly on the first flange, a first ridge being evenly provided on the end face of the groove, an oil outlet nozzle, a second flange being provided opposite the groove on the oil outlet nozzle, a second ridge being evenly provided on the end face of the second flange opposite the first ridge, a pressure ring being provided on the oil outlet nozzle, the pressure ring being fitted with the first flange, and a sealing ring being provided between the first flange and the second flange.
[0007] During use, the second flange of the oil outlet is inserted into the groove of the first flange. After rotating to the corresponding angle, the pressure ring is locked to the first flange. The provided clamping force ensures the connection between the two, guaranteeing normal oil discharge under high pressure. Simultaneously, the first and second protrusions interlock to effectively lock the angle of the oil outlet, preventing rotation and ensuring optimal performance. This solution utilizes a rotary sprayer for mixing and stirring, effectively preventing sedimentation. The angle of the oil outlet is adjustable, meeting the versatility requirements of different tank types, and operation is simple.
[0008] As an optimization, a boss is provided on the end face of the second flange, the height of the boss being the same as the height of the second rib, and the second rib being evenly distributed circumferentially outside the boss.
[0009] In this way, when assembling the oil outlet and the oil pipe, the boss can fit tightly against the groove surface of the first flange, and together with the sealing ring, it can play a sealing role and prevent oil leakage.
[0010] As an optimization, both the boss and the first flange are provided with annular grooves, and the sealing ring is disposed in the annular grooves.
[0011] This allows for quick positioning and installation of the sealing ring, ensuring its sealing stability during use.
[0012] As an optimization, the oil outlet is L-shaped.
[0013] In this way, after adjusting the angle, the oil outlet direction can be tangent to the rotary sprayer on the horizontal plane, which is more conducive to generating rotational force.
[0014] As an optimization, the rotary sprayer is positioned downwards within the tank.
[0015] This lower installation position allows for better mixing and blending of the sediment on the bottom surface.
[0016] This solution has the advantages of good anti-deposition effect and simple structure. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an anti-deposition crude oil tank includes a tank body 1. An oil supply pipe 11 is provided at the bottom of the tank body. The oil supply pipe is connected to the tank body via a bracket 12. The end of the oil supply pipe is connected to a rotary sprayer 10. The rotation axis of the rotary sprayer is consistent with the axis of the tank body. An oil outlet pipe 13 is provided on the rotary sprayer. A first flange 14 is provided at the end of the oil outlet pipe. The first flange has a groove inward. A first ridge 15 is evenly provided on the end face of the groove. The tank also includes an oil outlet nozzle 16. A second flange 17 is provided opposite the groove on the oil outlet nozzle. A second ridge 18 is evenly provided on the end face of the second flange opposite the first ridge. A pressure ring 19 is also provided on the oil outlet nozzle. The pressure ring is configured to cooperate with the first flange. A sealing ring 2 is provided between the first flange and the second flange.
[0025] During use, the second flange of the oil outlet is inserted into the groove of the first flange. After rotating to the corresponding angle, the pressure ring is locked to the first flange. The provided clamping force ensures the connection between the two, guaranteeing normal oil discharge under high pressure. Simultaneously, the first and second protrusions interlock to effectively lock the angle of the oil outlet, preventing rotation and ensuring optimal performance. This solution utilizes a rotary sprayer for mixing and stirring, effectively preventing sedimentation. The angle of the oil outlet is adjustable, meeting the versatility requirements of different tank types, and operation is simple.
[0026] Specifically, the rotary sprayer is the type of rotary sprayer used by those skilled in the art, which has a rotating oil outlet head, a deceleration mechanism, and an anti-static mechanism, which will not be elaborated here. In this solution, the oil outlet pipe involving angle adjustment is set on the oil outlet head.
[0027] In this embodiment, a boss 21 is provided on the end face of the second flange. The height of the boss is the same as the height of the second rib, and the second rib is evenly distributed circumferentially outside the boss.
[0028] In this way, when assembling the oil outlet and the oil pipe, the boss can fit tightly against the groove surface of the first flange, and together with the sealing ring, it can play a sealing role and prevent oil leakage.
[0029] In this embodiment, both the boss and the first flange are provided with annular grooves 22, and the sealing ring is disposed in the annular grooves.
[0030] This allows for quick positioning and installation of the sealing ring, ensuring its sealing stability during use.
[0031] In this embodiment, the oil outlet is L-shaped.
[0032] In this way, after adjusting the angle, the oil outlet direction can be tangent to the rotary sprayer on the horizontal plane, which is more conducive to generating rotational force.
[0033] In this embodiment, the rotary sprayer is positioned downwards inside the tank.
[0034] This lower installation position allows for better mixing and blending of the sediment on the bottom surface.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
