Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas storage tank technology, specifically a novel gas storage tank that is easy to clean. Background Technology

[0002] As a key piece of equipment in the industrial field, the cleanliness of gas storage tanks directly affects gas quality and equipment lifespan. Currently, the industry mainly uses manual cleaning and fixed nozzle cleaning methods.

[0003] Manual cleaning requires operators to use hand tools to rinse and wipe the inside of the tank. On the one hand, it is limited by the operating space, making it difficult to achieve a comprehensive cleaning of the inside. On the other hand, the safety factor and cleaning efficiency are both low. Fixed nozzle rinsing involves a static spray device pre-installed inside the tank, which rinses the inner wall with water at a fixed angle. However, since the position and angle of the nozzles are not adjustable, there are obvious blind spots in the water flow coverage, making it impossible to clean thoroughly. Secondary manual treatment is required. Utility Model Content

The lower side of the tank body 1 is also provided with a water outlet 4, from which the cleaned water can be discharged.

[0028] Furthermore, the water outlet 4 is detachably equipped with a sealing disc. When cleaning the tank 1, the sewage can be discharged by removing the sealing disc. When the tank 1 is in normal use, the sealing disc can ensure the airtightness of the tank 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, as the core technical concept of this utility model, the gas storage tank (the above-mentioned novel gas storage tank that is easy to clean) also includes a connecting drive mechanism 7. The connecting drive mechanism 7 includes a connecting unit 72 connected to the cleaning mechanism 5, and the water supply to the cleaning mechanism 5 can be realized through the connecting unit 72. The connecting drive mechanism 7 also includes a drive unit 71 that is drively connected to the connecting unit 72, and the drive unit 71 can drive the connecting unit 72 to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning mechanism 5 to rotate, so as to realize the circumferential rinsing of the inner wall of the tank 1.

[0030] Combination Figure 4 Firstly, regarding the structure of the connecting unit 72 and its connection with the cleaning mechanism 5, the cleaning mechanism 5 includes a cleaning pipe vertically disposed in the middle of the tank body 1. The cleaning pipe has several water outlet holes, and the lower end of the cleaning pipe is rotatably connected to the bottom of the tank body 1, while the upper end extends out of the tank body 1. The connecting unit 72 includes a connecting pipe 721 vertically connected to the upper end of the cleaning pipe. The lower outer ring of the connecting pipe 721 is provided with a transmission gear 722, and the upper end is connected to an adapter 724. The adapter 724 is configured to connect the connecting pipe 721 and an external water pipe without affecting the rotation of the connecting pipe 721.

[0031] Specifically, the adapter 724 includes an upper connecting part and a lower connecting part that are arranged vertically and can rotate relative to each other. The two connecting parts are connected in the middle, and the lower connecting part is connected to the upper end of the connecting pipe 721. The upper connecting part can be connected to an external water supply pipe.

[0032] Combination Figure 5 Regarding the structure of the drive unit 71 and its transmission method with the cleaning mechanism 5, the upper part of the tank body 1 is also provided with a mounting base 6. The drive unit 71 includes a drive motor 711 mounted on the upper part of the tank body 1 through the mounting base 6. Its transmission end is provided with a transmission screw 713, and the transmission screw 713 is meshed with the transmission gear 722 for transmission connection.

[0033] Based on the above structure, by connecting the adapter 724 to the external water pipe, water can be introduced into the cleaning pipe through the connecting pipe 721 and then sprayed out through the water outlet. With the driving action of the drive motor 711, the connecting pipe 721 can be rotated through the transmission gear 722, which in turn drives the cleaning pipe to rotate, so as to achieve a thorough cleaning of the inner wall of the tank 1 without dead angles. The cleaning method is simpler and more convenient, and the cleaning effect is better.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, in order to further ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning pipe on the inner wall of the tank 1, and to ensure that the water flow can accurately rinse the inner wall of the tank 1, a water spray pipe perpendicular to the outer ring of the cleaning pipe is provided at the position corresponding to the water outlet.

[0035] As a further preferred embodiment, in order to control the cleaning water flow, a switching valve 723 is also provided on the connecting pipe 721 between the transmission gear 722 and the adapter 724.

[0036] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, in order to prevent the installation of the connecting unit 72 and the driving unit 71 from affecting the normal use of the tank 1, the connecting unit 72 and the driving unit 71 are detachably connected to the upper end of the connecting pipe 721 and the mounting base 6, respectively.

[0037] Specifically, the lower end of the connecting pipe 721 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the cleaning pipe. In addition, the upper end of the tank body 1 is provided with an adapter 8, through which the upper end of the connecting pipe 721 passes. The gas storage tank also includes a sealing cap 9, which is configured to replace the connecting unit 72 in the connection with the adapter 8. In this way, when the gas storage tank is put into normal use after cleaning, the connecting unit 72 can be removed and replaced with the sealing cap 9 to seal the upper end of the cleaning pipe, ensuring the normal use of the gas storage tank.

[0038] As a further preferred embodiment, in order to further ensure the sealing of the upper end of the gas storage tank and the connection strength between the adapter 8 and the tank body 1, the upper end of the tank body 1 is provided with an opening, the adapter 8 is inserted into the opening, and the outer ring is welded and fixed to the opening.

[0039] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 3 Regarding the installation structure of the drive unit 711, the mounting base 6 includes a base 61 welded and fixed to the upper part of the tank body 1. The base 61 includes a horizontally arranged support plate. A slot 611 is horizontally opened on the upper side of the support plate. A plug-in seat 712 is provided on the lower side of the drive unit 711, which can be inserted and cooperate with the slot 611 laterally, making the disassembly and assembly of the drive unit 711 simpler and more convenient.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, in order to ensure the stability of the insertion and fixing of the plug-in seat 712 relative to the mounting seat 6, a retaining groove is provided in the lower middle part of the plug-in seat 712, and a stop torque 62 is elastically provided in the lower middle part of the support plate, which can engage with the retaining groove when the plug-in seat 712 is inserted into the slot 611.

[0041] Specifically, the stop torque 62 is vertically inserted through the middle of the support plate, and a tension spring 63 is provided between its lower end and the lower side of the support plate. The lower outer ring of the stop torque 62 is also provided with a stop plate, and the lower side of the support plate is provided with a mating groove corresponding to the stop plate. In its natural state, the stop torque 62 is subjected to an upward pulling force, causing the stop plate to be inserted into the mating groove. The upper end of the stop torque 62 extends out of the support plate and can cooperate with the stop groove on the lower side of the plug-in seat 712 inserted into the slot 611 to achieve the snap-fit ​​fixation of the plug-in seat 712. When disassembling the drive motor 711, the stop torque 62 can be pulled down to disengage it from the stop groove, thereby disengaging the plug-in seat 712 from the slot 611.

[0042] Of course, when installing the connector 712, the stop knob 62 can be pulled down to avoid its interference with the connector 712's insertion operation. When the upper end of the stop knob 62 is against the lower side of the connector 712, the stop knob 62 can be released and the connector 712 can be inserted into the slot 611 to the preset position. The stop knob 62 will then spring up and engage with the slot.
