[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material tank technology, and in particular to an adjustable material tank. Background Technology
[0002] Material tanks are used for temporary storage of slurry, and the slurry can be stirred and aerated inside the material tank.
[0003] Existing material tanks typically have a fixed structure, and the tank's volume and size are also fixed. When production needs change, it is troublesome to replace different material tanks, which consumes a lot of time and leads to lower production efficiency, which has a certain adverse impact on the material production process. In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, we propose an adjustable material tank. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an adjustable material tank that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

Two sets of first-order silicone rubber sealing rings are installed between the lower outer wall of the first expansion joint and the inner wall of the main tank body. A first-order corrugated compensator is installed between the upper end of the main tank body and the outer wall of the first expansion joint. A second expansion joint is located at the middle of the upper end of the first expansion joint. Two sets of second-order silicone rubber sealing rings are installed between the lower outer wall of the second expansion joint and the inner wall of the first expansion joint. A second-order corrugated compensator is installed between the upper end of the first expansion joint and the outer wall of the second expansion joint. Four sets of mounting seats are fixed to the lower outer wall of the main tank body. A set of hydraulic rods is installed on the upper end of two sets of mounting seats. A set of mounting seats is fixed to each of the two upper outer walls of the second expansion joint. The upper ends of the two sets of hydraulic rods are respectively connected to the lower ends of a set of connecting plates.
[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the four sets of mounting seats is provided with a mounting bracket, and the lower end of the mounting bracket is equipped with two sets of synchronization valves for controlling the synchronous extension and retraction of the two sets of hydraulic rods.
[0008] Preferably, a discharge pipe is provided at the lower end of the main tank, and a valve is provided on the side wall of the discharge pipe.
[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the first expansion joint is movably connected to the inner wall of the main tank, and the outer wall of the second expansion joint is movably connected to the inner wall of the first expansion joint.
[0010] Preferably, both the No. 1 and No. 2 corrugated compensators are telescopic. The upper and lower ends of the No. 1 corrugated compensator are respectively sealed and fixedly connected to the upper end of the main tank and the outer wall of the No. 1 expansion joint. The upper and lower ends of the No. 2 corrugated compensator are respectively sealed and fixedly connected to the upper end of the No. 1 expansion joint and the outer wall of the No. 2 expansion joint.
[0011] Preferably, a sealing cover is installed at the upper end of the second telescopic joint, and two sets of handles are provided at the upper end of the sealing cover.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] In this invention, two sets of hydraulic rods are controlled to extend and retract synchronously by a synchronous valve, driving the second and first telescopic joints to slide nested together, thereby achieving stepless adjustment of the tank height. This can meet the material storage needs of different production stages, and the adjustable tank height and volume save more space.
[0014] In this invention, the No. 1 silicone rubber sealing ring and the No. 2 silicone rubber sealing ring, together with the No. 1 corrugated compensator and the No. 2 corrugated compensator, maintain double sealing during the expansion and contraction of the tank, so that the tank maintains its sealing performance during the adjustment of its volume.

The outer wall of the second expansion joint 3 is movably connected to the inner wall of the first expansion joint 2. The second expansion joint 3 and the first expansion joint 2 together form a telescopic structure, giving the material tank an adjustable structure. Two sets of second-generation silicone rubber sealing rings 16 are installed between the lower outer wall of the second expansion joint 3 and the inner wall of the first expansion joint 2. The second-generation silicone rubber sealing rings 16 are used to maintain the seal between the outer wall of the second expansion joint 3 and the inner wall of the first expansion joint 2. A second-generation corrugated compensator is installed between the upper end of the first expansion joint 2 and the outer wall of the second expansion joint 3. 15. The second corrugated compensator 15 is used to further maintain the sealing between the second expansion joint 3 and the first expansion joint 2. Both the first corrugated compensator 13 and the second corrugated compensator 15 are telescopic. The upper and lower ends of the first corrugated compensator 13 are respectively sealed and fixedly connected to the upper end of the main tank 1 and the outer wall of the first expansion joint 2.
