Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, and in particular to a horizontal gas storage tank that is easy to clean. Background Technology
[0002] A gas storage tank is a device specifically designed to store gases and stabilize system pressure. Based on the pressure it can withstand, gas storage tanks can be classified as high-pressure tanks, low-pressure tanks, and atmospheric pressure tanks. Based on the material, they can be classified as carbon steel tanks, low-alloy steel tanks, and stainless steel tanks. A gas storage tank (pressure vessel) generally consists of a cylinder, end caps, flanges, connecting pipes, sealing elements, and supports. In addition, it is equipped with safety devices, gauges, and internal components that perform various production processes.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent application number 202420834005.3 discloses a horizontal gas storage tank that is easy to clean, belonging to the field of gas storage tank technology. It includes: a gas storage tank body; a water inlet pipe installed on the surface of the gas storage tank body; multiple connecting gas valves installed on the surface of the gas storage tank body; a cleaning mechanism installed on the surface of the gas storage tank body; an auxiliary valve installed on the surface of the gas storage tank body; a drain valve installed on the surface of the gas storage tank body; two support seats installed at the bottom of the gas storage tank body; and a sealing cover plate provided on the surface of the water inlet pipe. This solution stores gas through the gas storage tank body, and facilitates air intake and exhaust through the connecting gas valves. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the gas storage tank body, water is added to the inside of the gas storage tank body through the water inlet pipe. At this time, under the action of the cleaning mechanism, the inner wall of the gas storage tank body can be cleaned evenly. After cleaning, waste liquid and impurities are discharged through the drain valve.
[0004] In the process of using the above-mentioned patent, water is first added to the gas storage tank through the water inlet pipe, and then the inner wall of the gas storage tank is cleaned by the cleaning mechanism. However, the device lacks a drying function, and water stains will still remain on the inner wall of the gas storage tank after cleaning. Since the gas storage tank is mostly in a sealed state, the residual water stains are difficult to air dry naturally. Moreover, under the action of gravity, the water stains accumulate along the curved surface of the inner wall of the gas storage tank to the bottom of the gas storage tank. As a result, when gas is injected into the gas storage tank later, the residual moisture may contaminate the gas. At the same time, the cleaning mechanism of the device is located inside the gas storage tank, which is inconvenient for the staff to perform daily maintenance on the device. Utility Model Content

[0029] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0030] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in conjunction with Figure 1-5 As shown. A horizontally oriented gas storage tank that is easy to clean includes a gas storage tank 1. A rotating mechanism is provided on one side of the gas storage tank 1. A rotating hollow shaft 2 is rotatably connected inside the gas storage tank 1. A water supply pipe 3 and a gas supply pipe 4 are fixedly connected to both sides inside the rotating hollow shaft 2, respectively. Several nozzles 5 are fixedly connected to both the water supply pipe 3 and the gas supply pipe 4. Two rotating frames 6 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating hollow shaft 2. A water tank 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the gas storage tank 1. A water supply mechanism is provided on one side of the water tank 7. A heating box 8 is fixedly connected to the other side of the gas storage tank 1. A heating mechanism is provided inside the heating box 8. A drain valve 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gas storage tank 1. The water supply pipe 3 and the gas supply pipe 4 are fixedly connected to the interior of the two rotating frames 6, respectively. The nozzles 5 are fixedly inserted through the rotating frames 6. Several air inlets 19 are opened on the top of the heating box 8. A water inlet 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 7. Two connecting air valves 21 are fixedly connected to the top of the gas storage tank 1.
[0031] In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism includes a drive motor 10 fixedly installed on one side of the gas storage tank 1. A gear 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 10. A gear 12 meshes with the outer surface of the gear 11. The gear 12 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating hollow shaft 2.
[0032] In this embodiment, the water supply mechanism includes a water pump 13 fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 7. The outlet end of the water pump 13 is fixedly connected to a second water supply pipe 14. The other end of the second water supply pipe 14 is rotatably connected to the first water supply pipe 3 through a sealed bearing. A one-way valve 18 is provided on the water supply pipe.
[0033] In this embodiment, the heating mechanism includes a blower 15 and several heating rods 16. The several heating rods 16 are all fixedly installed inside the heating box 8. The blower 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the heating box 8. The air outlet of the blower 15 is fixedly connected to the second air supply pipe 17. The second air supply pipe 17 is provided with a one-way valve 18. The other end of the second air supply pipe 17 is rotatably connected to the first air supply pipe 4 through a sealed bearing.
[0034] By incorporating a rotating mechanism, a heating mechanism, a rotating hollow shaft 2, a rotating frame 6, an air supply pipe 4, and a nozzle 5, the system heats the outside air and sprays it onto the inner wall of the gas storage tank 1, thus rotating and drying the inner wall. This prevents residual moisture in the gas storage tank 1 from contaminating the gas stored subsequently, thereby greatly improving the cleaning efficiency of the gas storage tank 1. Furthermore, since the heating mechanism and the water supply mechanism are both located outside the device, the tank body is not obstructed, facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of the heating mechanism and the water supply mechanism after use.
[0035] Working principle: When it is necessary to clean the gas storage tank 1, the staff first injects water into the water tank 7 through the water inlet 20, and then starts the water pump 13 and the drive motor 10. The water pump 13 draws the water in the water tank 7 from the water pump end, and flows through the water outlet end to the water supply pipe 1 3 and the water supply pipe 2 14 in sequence, and finally sprays it from the nozzle 5 onto the inner wall of the gas storage tank 1.
[0036] At the same time, the output end of the drive motor 10 drives the gear 11 to rotate, thereby driving the drive gear 12, the rotating hollow shaft 2 and the rotating frame 6 to rotate synchronously, so that the nozzle 5 rotates in the air tank 1 to achieve all-round water spray cleaning of the inner wall. The waste liquid and impurities generated during cleaning are discharged through the drain valve 9 under the action of gravity.
[0037] After the inner wall of the air tank 1 is cleaned, the water pump 13 is turned off, and the heating rod 16 and the blower 15 are started. The exhaust end of the blower 15 draws air from the heating box 8, creating a negative pressure inside the heating box 8. Outside air enters the heating box 8 through the air inlet 19 and is heated by the heating rod 16 to form hot air. The hot air flows from the exhaust end of the blower 15 to the air supply pipe 4 and the air supply pipe 17 in sequence, and is finally sprayed onto the inner wall of the air tank 1 by the nozzle 5. At the same time, the rotating frame 6 continues to rotate, so that the hot air nozzle 5 sprays onto the inner wall of the air tank 1, thereby drying the cleaned inner wall.
[0038] When it is necessary to use the gas storage tank 1 to store gas, the gas intake and exhaust operations are performed by connecting the gas valve 21.
[0039] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
