Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of advanced manufacturing and automation technology, specifically to a single-layer insulated oil tank with a heating structure. Background Technology
[0002] In today's rapidly developing oil tank technology field, with the continuous advancement of global industrialization, industrial production is showing a highly diversified trend. Different industries have increasingly complex application scenarios and performance requirements for oil tanks. From the storage and transfer of crude oil and various chemical raw materials in the petrochemical industry, to the safe storage of liquid food raw materials such as edible oil in the food processing field, and to the processing of new energy liquids such as biodiesel and ethanol in the new energy industry, all of these have put forward more refined and unique requirements for the functional characteristics of oil tanks.
[0003] Traditional heating and installation methods for oil tanks have gradually revealed many limitations. For single-layer oil tanks, heating is crucial when storing high-viscosity or easily solidified liquid materials. However, previous heating methods not only resulted in uneven heating, leading to large local temperature differences in the materials inside the tank, affecting the quality and flowability of the materials, but also had low heating efficiency and serious energy waste. In addition, when heating elements malfunction and need repair or replacement, since they are usually fixed inside the oil tank, the disassembly process is extremely complex and cumbersome. It often requires emptying the materials inside the tank and carrying out complex disassembly operations. This not only consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and time, but also causes production interruption, resulting in high economic losses for enterprises. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an insulated single-layer oil tank with a heating structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a single-layer insulated oil tank with a heating structure, comprising a support base, a detachable heating section, and a uniformly heated insulation section. A support leg is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the support base, and a support pad is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the support leg. The detachable heating section is located on the top of the support base, and the uniformly heated insulation section is located inside the detachable heating section.
[0006] Preferably, the detachable heating element specifically includes: an insulation barrel, fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the support base; a rock wool insulation layer, fixedly installed inside the insulation barrel; a single-layer oil tank, fixedly installed on the inner wall of the insulation barrel; and an installation ring plate, set on the top of the insulation barrel.
[0007] An insulated container is installed, which, together with a rock wool insulation layer, forms a double-layer insulation structure. The rock wool insulation layer has excellent insulation performance, effectively reducing heat loss from the oil tank to the outside. The insulated container, as the outer protective structure, further blocks the influence of external ambient temperature on the inside of the oil tank, allowing the materials inside the tank to be stored in a relatively stable temperature environment. This is of great significance whether it is preventing heat transfer and material deterioration in high-temperature environments or reducing heat loss to maintain the fluidity of materials in low-temperature environments. For example, when storing some temperature-sensitive oil products, this double-layer insulation structure can control temperature fluctuations within a very small range, extending the shelf life of the materials and reducing the degradation or loss of material performance caused by temperature changes.
[0008] Preferably, an oil inlet pipe is connected to the single-layer oil tank, and a threaded oil plug is connected to the inside of the oil inlet pipe. Heating cylindrical blocks are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the inner circumference of the single-layer oil tank. An installation groove is opened inside the heating cylindrical block. An installation port is opened at equal intervals on the outer circumference of the top of the single-layer oil tank, and the installation port is connected to the installation groove.
[0009] Preferably, heat-conducting plates are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the single-layer oil tank. Heat-conducting mounting holes are provided on the heat-conducting plates. The heat-conducting plates are fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the heating cylindrical block through the heat-conducting mounting holes. Temperature sensors are fixedly installed on the top of each heat-conducting plate. Threaded connecting sleeves are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the top circumference of the single-layer oil tank.
[0010] Preferably, hexagonal nuts are fixedly installed equidistantly around the circumference of the mounting ring plate. A threaded connecting rod is threadedly connected to the inside of the hexagonal nut. A rotating block is fixedly installed at one end of the threaded connecting rod. The other end of the threaded connecting rod movably passes through the top of the mounting ring plate and extends into the interior of the threaded connecting sleeve. The other end of the threaded connecting rod is threadedly connected to the threaded connecting sleeve.
[0011] A mounting ring plate is incorporated, serving as a connecting hub. This significantly simplifies the assembly process between the uniform heating and insulation unit and the single-layer oil tank. Operators simply insert the mounting block, containing components such as the heating resistance wire, into the single-layer oil tank through the mounting port, and accurately align and tighten the threaded connecting rod with the threaded connecting sleeve. Installation is complete without complex tools or specialized skills, reducing installation difficulty and labor costs. Furthermore, it allows for rapid disassembly when maintenance, cleaning, or component replacement is required for the heating device or the interior of the oil tank, improving the equipment's maintainability.
[0012] Preferably, the uniform heating and heat preservation part specifically includes: a threaded sleeve, which is circumferentially and equidistantly fixed on the top outer wall of the mounting ring plate; the bottom of the threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to a threaded rod, the threaded rod has a circular through groove inside, and an electric column is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the circular through groove. One end of the electric column extends to the top outer wall of the threaded rod, and the other end of the electric column extends to the bottom outer wall of the threaded rod.
[0013] Preferably, the other end of the power-conducting column is fixedly connected to a mounting top block, the power-conducting column and the mounting top block are electrically connected, the mounting top block is adapted to the mounting port, and a protective mesh is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the mounting top block.
[0014] Preferably, a mounting base block is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the protective mesh. A heating rod is fixedly connected between the mounting base block and the mounting top block. A heating resistance wire is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the heating rod. One end of the heating resistance wire is fixedly connected to the mounting base block, and the other end is electrically connected to the mounting top block. Both the protective mesh and the mounting base block are adapted to the mounting groove. The mounting base block and the mounting top block work together to provide a stable support structure for the heating rod and the heating resistance wire. They fit tightly with the mounting groove on the single-layer oil tank, ensuring that the heating element is fixed in position inside the oil tank. This avoids problems such as uneven heating or damage from collisions with other components caused by shaking or displacement during use. This allows heat to be transferred stably and evenly to the surrounding materials, improving heating efficiency and the consistency of heating effect. This is crucial for ensuring the temperature uniformity of the materials inside the oil tank, especially when handling temperature-sensitive materials, effectively preventing material deterioration or abnormal reactions caused by local temperature differences.
[0015] This utility model provides an insulated single-layer oil tank with a heating structure. It has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] (1) The present invention allows workers to easily remove the installation ring plate through the detachable design, thereby making it convenient to access the various heating components inside the oil tank without having to perform a complicated disassembly operation on the entire oil tank. This greatly shortens maintenance time and workload, reduces maintenance costs, and reduces production downtime caused by equipment failure. The detachable installation of the heating part allows the oil tank to flexibly replace heating elements of different power, specifications or types according to different usage needs and material characteristics.
[0017] (2) This utility model can heat the material in the oil tank from multiple directions by rationally arranging the heating rods inside the oil tank and the heating resistance wires wound on them. Compared with the traditional local heating method, this design ensures that the heat is evenly distributed in the oil tank and avoids the occurrence of local overheating or undercooling areas. The temperature sensor that works in conjunction with the uniform heating structure can monitor the temperature at different locations in the oil tank in real time. After these temperature data are fed back to the control system, the power and time of the heating resistance wire can be controlled by adjusting the power of the heating resistance wire, thereby achieving precise control of the temperature of the material in the oil tank.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0025] Example 1:
[0026] A preferred embodiment of the insulated single-layer oil tank with a heating structure provided by this utility model is, for example... Figure 1-4 As shown: A single-layer insulated oil tank with a heating structure includes a support base 1, a detachable heating part 3, and a uniform heating and insulation part 4. Support legs 2 are fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the support base 1, and support pads are fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the support legs 2. The detachable heating part 3 is disposed on the top of the support base 1. The uniform heating and insulation part 4 is disposed inside the detachable heating part 3.
[0027] The detachable heating unit 3 specifically includes: an insulation barrel 311, which is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the support base 1; a rock wool insulation layer 312, which is fixedly installed inside the insulation barrel 311; a single-layer oil tank 313, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the insulation barrel 311; and an installation ring plate 3111, which is set on the top of the insulation barrel 311.
[0028] A single-layer oil tank 313 is connected to an oil inlet pipe 314, and a threaded oil plug 315 is connected to the inside of the oil inlet pipe 314. Heating cylindrical blocks 318 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the inner circumference of the single-layer oil tank 313. The heating cylindrical blocks 318 have installation grooves inside. The top outer wall of the single-layer oil tank 313 has installation openings at equal intervals on the circumference, and the installation openings are connected to the installation grooves.
[0029] A heat-conducting plate 316 is fixedly installed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the single-layer oil tank 313. The heat-conducting plate 316 has heat-conducting mounting holes. The heat-conducting plate 316 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the heating cylindrical block 318 through the heat-conducting mounting holes. A temperature sensor 317 is fixedly installed on the top of the heat-conducting plate 316. Threaded connecting sleeves 319 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the top circumference of the single-layer oil tank 313.
[0030] Hexagonal nuts 3112 are fixedly installed equidistantly on the circumference of the mounting ring plate 3111. A threaded connecting rod 3113 is connected to the internal thread of the hexagonal nut 3112. A rotating block is fixedly installed at one end of the threaded connecting rod 3113. The other end of the threaded connecting rod 3113 moves through the top of the mounting ring plate 3111 and extends into the interior of the threaded connecting sleeve 319. The other end of the threaded connecting rod 3113 is threadedly connected to the threaded connecting sleeve 319.
[0031] In this embodiment, the heating resistance wire, protective mesh 415, and heating rod 416 are installed inside the mounting groove by using the mounting base 417. Then, by holding the rotating block, the threaded connecting rod 3113 is rotated so that one end passes through the hexagonal nut 3112 on the mounting ring plate 3111 and is screwed into the threaded connecting sleeve 319. By tightening the threaded connecting rod 3113, the mounting ring plate 3111 is fixedly connected to the single-layer oil tank 313, thereby firmly installing the uniform heating and heat preservation part 4 inside the detachable heating part 3. At this time, the mounting top block 414 should fit tightly with the mounting opening on the top of the single-layer oil tank 313, and the protective mesh 415 and mounting base 417 should be adapted to the mounting groove inside the heating cylinder block 318. This allows the staff to easily remove the mounting ring plate and conveniently access the various heating components inside the oil tank without having to perform a complicated disassembly operation on the entire oil tank. This greatly shortens the maintenance time and workload and reduces maintenance costs.
[0032] Example 2:
[0033] Based on Embodiment 1, a preferred embodiment of the insulated single-layer oil tank with a heating structure provided by this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-4 As shown: The uniform heating and heat preservation part 4 specifically includes: a threaded sleeve 411, which is circumferentially and equidistantly fixed on the top outer wall of the mounting ring plate 3111; the bottom of the threaded sleeve 411 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 412, the inside of the threaded rod 412 is provided with a circular through groove, and an electric post 413 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the circular through groove. One end of the electric post 413 extends to the top outer wall of the threaded rod 412, and the other end of the electric post 413 extends to the bottom outer wall of the threaded rod 412.
[0034] The other end of the power-conducting post 413 is fixedly connected to the mounting top block 414. The power-conducting post 413 and the mounting top block 414 are electrically connected. The mounting top block 414 is adapted to the mounting port. A protective mesh 415 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the mounting top block 414.
[0035] A mounting base 417 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the protective mesh 415. A heating rod 416 is fixedly connected between the mounting base 417 and the mounting top 414. A heating resistance wire is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the heating rod 416. One end of the heating resistance wire is fixedly connected to the mounting base 417, and the other end of the heating resistance wire is electrically connected to the mounting top 414. Both the protective mesh 415 and the mounting base 417 are adapted to the mounting groove.
[0036] In this embodiment, the energizing column 413 is energized, and the current passes through the heating resistance wire. The heating resistance wire heats up and transfers the heat to the heating rod 416. Then, through the protective mesh 415, the mounting base 417, and the heating cylindrical block 318, the heat is evenly transferred to the oil in the single-layer oil tank 313, achieving uniform heating of the oil. The temperature sensor 317, distributed on the top of the heat-conducting plate 316, monitors the temperature of the oil in the tank in real time and transmits the temperature signal to the control system. The control system automatically adjusts the current magnitude or on / off time of the energizing column 413 according to the preset temperature range to control the heating power of the heating resistance wire, thereby maintaining the oil temperature in the tank within the set suitable range. It can monitor the temperature at different locations in the tank in real time. After these temperature data are fed back to the control system, the power and time of the heating resistance wire can be controlled by adjusting the power of the heating resistance wire, thereby achieving precise control of the material temperature in the oil tank.
[0037] Working principle: When using:
[0038] Step 1: Fix the support leg 2 to the bottom outer wall of the support base 1, ensuring that the support pad at the bottom of the support leg 2 is in stable contact with the ground, providing a solid support foundation for the entire oil tank. Install the rock wool insulation layer 312 inside the insulation bucket 311. Then fix the single-layer oil tank 313 to the inner wall of the insulation bucket 311, ensuring that all components are installed firmly and tightly, with no risk of leakage. Install the threaded connecting sleeves 319 at equal intervals on the top circumference of the single-layer oil tank 313, and place the mounting ring plate 3111 on the top of the insulation bucket 311, so that the hexagonal nuts 3112 on the mounting ring plate 3111 correspond to the positions of the threaded connecting sleeves 319.
[0039] Step Two: Install the threaded rod 412 with the circular slot and the energizing post 413 onto the top outer wall of the mounting ring plate 3111 via the threaded sleeve 411, ensuring a tight connection without any looseness. At the bottom of the threaded rod 412, fix one end of the energizing post 413 to the mounting top block 414, ensuring a good electrical connection. Then, install the protective mesh 415 onto the bottom outer wall of the mounting top block 414. Next, fix the mounting base block 417 onto the bottom outer wall of the protective mesh 415, so that the heating resistance wire is sleeved on the heating rod 416 between the mounting base block 417 and the mounting top block 414, ensuring that both ends of the heating resistance wire are electrically connected to the mounting base block 417 and the mounting top block 414 respectively. Then, through the mounting base block 417, install the heating resistance wire, the protective mesh 415, and the heating rod 416 inside the mounting groove. Finally, hold the rotating block... Rotate the threaded connecting rod 3113 so that one end passes through the hexagonal nut 3112 on the mounting ring plate 3111 and is screwed into the threaded connecting sleeve 319. Tighten the threaded connecting rod 3113 to fix the mounting ring plate 3111 to the single-layer oil tank 313, thereby firmly installing the uniform heating and heat preservation part 4 inside the detachable heating part 3. At this time, the mounting top block 414 should fit tightly with the mounting opening on the top of the single-layer oil tank 313, and the protective mesh 415 and the mounting bottom block 417 should be adapted to the mounting groove inside the heating cylindrical block 318.
[0040] Step 3: Unscrew the threaded oil plug 315 and inject the oil to be stored or processed into the single-layer oil tank 313 through the oil inlet pipe 314. After reaching the required liquid level, screw the threaded oil plug 315 back into the oil inlet pipe 314 to ensure a good seal and prevent oil leakage.
[0041] Step 4: Power is supplied to the energizing column 413. The current passes through the heating resistance wire, which heats up and transfers the heat to the heating rod 416. The heat is then transferred through the protective mesh 415, the mounting base 417, and the heating cylinder 318. The heating cylinder 318 then evenly transfers the heat to the oil in the single-layer oil tank 313, achieving uniform heating of the oil. The temperature sensor 317, located on top of the heat-conducting plate 316, monitors the temperature of the oil in the tank in real time and transmits the temperature signal to the control system. The control system automatically adjusts the current or on / off time of the energizing column 413 according to the preset temperature range to control the heating power of the heating resistance wire, thereby maintaining the oil temperature in the tank within the set suitable range.
[0042] Step 5: During and after heating, the rock wool insulation layer 312 provides insulation, reducing heat loss to the external environment and ensuring that the oil in the tank remains within the required temperature range for a longer period, thus reducing energy consumption and improving energy efficiency. Regularly check the connections of each component, including the connection between the threaded connecting rod 3113 and the threaded connecting sleeve 319, and the electrical connection between the heating resistance wire and the mounting top block 414 and mounting bottom block 417, to ensure the safety and stability of the equipment operation. At the same time, check the working status of the temperature sensor 317 to ensure the accuracy of temperature monitoring, so as to promptly detect and handle any possible faults or abnormalities, ensuring the normal operation of the oil tank and good storage and handling conditions for the oil.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
