Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage tank technology, specifically a water-reducing agent storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] Water-reducing agents are concrete admixtures that reduce the amount of mixing water while maintaining a relatively constant concrete slump. Most are anionic surfactants, including lignin sulfonates, naphthalene sulfonates, and formaldehyde polymers. When added to concrete mixes, they disperse cement particles, improving workability, reducing water consumption per unit area, and enhancing the fluidity of the concrete mix; or they reduce cement usage per unit area, saving cement. Water-reducing agent storage tanks are containers used to store water-reducing agents. Temperature is a crucial factor during storage; maintaining a stable temperature is essential for the performance of the water-reducing agent. However, existing water-reducing agent storage tanks have simple structures and single functions, and cannot effectively insulate the water-reducing agent. Both excessively low and high temperatures can affect the use of the water-reducing agent. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Please see Figure 1-6 In this embodiment of the present invention, a water-reducing agent storage tank includes: a support base 100, a heat preservation mechanism 200, and a protective mechanism 300. A storage tank body 110 is fixedly connected to the support base 100, and a temperature sensor is installed and fixed on the storage tank body 110. A discharge port 111 is connected and fixed to the bottom of the outer side of the storage tank body 110, and a sealing cap 112 is screwed and connected to the top inlet of the storage tank body 110. The heat preservation mechanism 200 is disposed on the storage tank body 110 for heat preservation of the water-reducing agent stored inside the storage tank body 110. The protective mechanism 300 is disposed on the outer side of the storage tank body 110 for protection of the storage tank body 110.

[0037] Specifically, the storage tank body 110 facilitates the storage of water-reducing agent, and the temperature sensor facilitates the detection of the water-reducing agent's temperature. After the discharge port 111 is connected to the external valve, the sealing cover 112 facilitates the sealing of the storage tank body 110. The heat preservation mechanism 200 facilitates the heat preservation of the water-reducing agent, and the heat preservation mechanism 200 can stir the water-reducing agent stored in the storage tank body 110 to reduce the possibility of sedimentation. The protective mechanism 300 provides protection and support for the storage tank body 110.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figure 3-4As shown, in this embodiment, the heat preservation mechanism 200 includes: a rotating shell 210 and multiple circulation pipes 220. The top of the rotating shell 210 is rotatably sleeved with the bottom of the tank body 110. A rotating plate 211 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating shell 210, and a circular shell 212 is fixedly connected to the rotating shell 210. A driving assembly is provided on the outside of the rotating shell 210, and a water supply assembly is provided at the bottom of the rotating shell 210. Multiple circulation pipes 220 are all disposed inside the tank body 110. One end of each circulation pipe 220 is connected and fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shell 210, and the other end of each circulation pipe 220 is connected and fixedly connected to the circular shell 212. The driving assembly includes: a circular pipe 230 and a fixed shell 240. The top of the circular pipe 230 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 110, and the circular pipe 230 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shell 210. A circular shell 240 is sleeved on the circular pipe 230. A gear 231 is fixedly connected to the fixed housing 240 and the support base 100. A motor 241 is fixedly connected inside the fixed housing 240. A gear 242 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 241 and meshes with the gear 231. The water supply assembly includes a water tank 250 and a water pump 260. The water tank 250 is fixedly connected to the support base 100. A connecting pipe 251 is fixedly connected to the water tank 250. One end of the connecting pipe 251 passes through the side wall of the fixed housing 240 and is rotatably sleeved with the bottom of the round shell 212. The water pump 260 is fixedly connected to the support base 100. A delivery pipe 261 is fixedly connected to the water pump 260 and is fixedly connected to the water tank 250. A delivery pipe 262 is fixedly connected to the water pump 260 and one end of the delivery pipe 262 passes through the side wall of the fixed housing 240 and is rotatably sleeved with the rotating plate 211.

[0040] In this embodiment, by starting the motor 241, the second gear 242 is driven to rotate. The second gear 242 meshes with the first gear 231, thereby causing the circular tube 230, the rotating shell 210, and the circular shell 212 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the multiple circulation pipes 220 to rotate, which stirs the water-reducing agent inside the storage tank body 110, reducing the possibility of sedimentation. If the temperature sensor detects that the internal temperature of the water-reducing agent is too high, the water pump 260 is started. The water pump 260, the first delivery pipe 261, and the second delivery pipe 262 facilitate the delivery of cold water from the water tank 250. The water is gradually transported between the rotating plate 211 and the rotating shell 210, and then gradually into the interior of multiple circulation pipes 220. Cold water flows inside the circulation pipes 220 and into the interior of the round shell 212. The water inside the round shell 212 is then transported to the interior of the water tank 250 through the connecting pipe 251, thereby realizing the circulation of cold water. The cold water is used to cool down the multiple circulation pipes 220. The circulation pipes 220 come into contact with the water-reducing agent, thereby cooling the water-reducing agent and preventing it from degrading or becoming moldy due to excessive temperature. The rotation of the multiple circulation pipes 220 increases the contact area with the water-reducing agent, thereby improving the temperature regulation efficiency of the water-reducing agent.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, an electric heater 252 is installed and fixed on the water tank 250.

[0042] In practice, an electric heater 252 is used to heat the water inside the water tank 250 to warm water. When the temperature sensor detects that the internal temperature of the water-reducing agent is too low, the water pump 260 is started, so that the warm water flows inside multiple circulation pipes 220 to heat up the multiple circulation pipes 220, thereby heating up the water-reducing agent and preventing crystallization of the water-reducing agent due to low temperature.

[0043] In order to facilitate the operator's control of the utility model, a PLC controller can be set up, and the temperature sensor, motor 241, electric heater 252 and water pump 260 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller. The PLC controller is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] Based on Example 1, in order to shield, protect and reinforce the storage tank body 110.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the protective mechanism 300 includes: two protective shells 310, multiple fixing blocks 320, multiple fixing bolts 330, and multiple support plates 340. The two protective shells 310 are both disposed on the outside of the tank body 110, and the two protective shells 310 are opposite to each other. The multiple fixing blocks 320 are respectively fixed to the two protective shells 310. One end of the multiple fixing bolts 330 is respectively screwed to the corresponding fixing block 320. The multiple support plates 340 are respectively fixed to the inner sidewalls of the two protective shells 310, and the multiple support plates 340 are in contact with the outer sidewalls of the tank body 110. Multiple ventilation holes 311 are opened on the protective shells 310, and multiple baffles 350 are fixedly connected to the protective shells 310.

[0047] In specific implementation, by screwing the fixing bolts 330 and the corresponding fixing blocks 320 together, the protective mechanism 300 is easily fixed to the outside of the tank body 110. The two protective shells 310 installed after installation provide shielding protection for the tank body 110, and the two protective shells 310 can provide light protection for the tank body 110. Multiple ventilation holes 311 are used to allow ventilation inside the two protective shells 310, and the baffles 350 are used to block the ventilation holes 311 to prevent sunlight from shining on the tank body 110 through the ventilation holes 311. After the two protective shells 310 are installed and fixed, the multiple support plates 340 fixed on them will contact the outer wall of the tank body 110, thereby supporting and reinforcing the tank body 110.

[0048] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0049] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
