Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of raw material tank bases, and in particular to an adjustable base for a raw material tank that facilitates methanol-to-hydrogen production. Background Technology

[0002] Methanol-to-hydrogen is a technology that uses methanol as a raw material to produce hydrogen through a chemical reaction. Due to the easy availability of raw materials, mild reaction conditions, and compact equipment, it has become an important way of distributed hydrogen production and small-to-medium-scale hydrogen energy supply. Before hydrogen production, methanol needs to be stored in a raw material tank, which needs a base to support it.

[0003] Because the raw material tanks vary in size, placing them on a base does not allow for proper fixation according to tank specifications, resulting in poor stability. When the raw material is not in use, the outlet switch is closed, but during daily operation, there is a risk of accidental opening, leading to raw material leakage and resource waste. Therefore, we propose an adjustable base for raw material tanks that facilitates methanol-to-hydrogen production. Utility Model Content

[0028] Specifically, the drive motor 203 drives the lead screw 202 to rotate, thereby moving the position of the collar 204. Under the action of the slide rod 205, the fixed plate 201 moves. The drive motor 203 is a dual-axis motor, model YZR280M-8, and its output end is connected to two sets of lead screws 202. The surface of the lead screw 202 is provided with threads in opposite directions, so that when the lead screw 202 rotates, the collar 204 can move in the opposite or opposite directions. The inner surface of the collar 204 is provided with threads, and the position of the collar 204 is restricted by the limit plate 206 to prevent the collar 204 from disengaging from the lead screw 202. When the lead screw 202 rotates, it can drive the collar 204 to move in the same or opposite directions, and the movement will drive the slide rod 205 and the fixed plate 201 to move.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the base body 3 includes movable rollers 301, a base plate 302, a push rod 303, and a slide groove 304. Movable rollers 301 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the base plate 302, and a push rod 303 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the base plate 302.

The movable roller 301 is a universal wheel and is equipped with brake pads to keep the position of the base plate 302 stable. The push rod 303 is used to push the base plate 302. The slide groove 304 is long and strip-shaped and is located on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate 302.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the drive motor 203 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the base plate 302 at the middle position, the slide rods 205 are respectively embedded in the inside of the slide groove 304, the fixing plates 201 are all located above the base plate 302, and the tank body 102 is placed on the upper surface of the base plate 302 and located between the fixing plates 201.

[0032] Specifically, by fixing the drive motor 203 below the base plate 302, the collar 204 can move below the base plate 302, thereby driving the slide rod 205 to move inside the slide groove 304, causing the fixing plate 201 to move in opposite or opposite directions. When the fixing plate 201 moves in opposite directions, it can squeeze and fix the tank body 102.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting structure 4 includes a U-shaped plate 401 and an electric push rod 402, with the output end of the electric push rod 402 fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 401;

[0034] Specifically, the U-shaped plate 401 is moved up and down by the electric push rod 402, and the U-shaped plate 401 is in a U-shape.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the electric push rod 402 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 302 at the front position, and the discharge port 104 and the switch 103 are located inside the U-shaped plate 401.

[0036] Specifically, by fixing the electric push rod 402 to the upper surface of the base plate 302 in a front position, the electric push rod 402 is positioned in front of the tank body 102, and the U-shaped plate 401 is positioned below the discharge port 104. When the electric push rod 402 extends, the U-shaped plate 401 can move upward, restricting the position of the discharge port 104 and the switch 103. When the U-shaped plate 401 moves downward, the switch 103 can rotate above the discharge port 104 to open the discharge port 104.

[0037] It should be noted that during use, the raw materials are stored inside the tank body 102. The tank body 102 is placed on the bottom plate 302, and the drive motor 203 is started, causing the lead screw 202 to rotate, thereby driving the collar 204, slide bar 205, and fixing plate 201 to move in their respective directions. The fixing plate 201 clamps and fixes the tank body 102. The electric push rod 402 is started, causing the U-shaped plate 401 to rise, so that the switch 103 and the discharge port 104 are inside the U-shaped plate 401. When it is necessary to remove the material, the electric push rod 402 is started, causing the U-shaped plate 401 to move down, and the switch 103 is turned to open the discharge port 104.
