Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of horizontal storage tanks, specifically a PPH horizontal storage tank structure. Background Technology
[0002] Storage tanks are used to store refined chemical substances such as acids, alkalis, alcohols, gases, and liquids. Storage tanks are widely used in North China and, depending on the material, generally include: polyethylene tanks, polypropylene tanks, fiberglass tanks, ceramic tanks, rubber tanks, and stainless steel tanks. Horizontal storage tanks are a type of storage tank that can be used to store certain chemical substances.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent (authorization announcement number CN220647848U) disclosing a horizontal storage tank. This patented technology includes: an outer shell forming a accommodating cavity; an inner shell disposed within the accommodating cavity, forming a liquid storage chamber for storing cryogenic liquids; a fixed support assembly fixedly connected to the outer shell on one side and to the inner shell on the other; a sliding support assembly fixedly connected to the outer shell on one side and slidably connected to the inner shell on the other; the fixed and sliding support assemblies are arranged along the axial direction of the inner shell; and a saddle located at the bottom of the outer shell and connected to it; at least two saddles are provided, one corresponding to the fixed support assembly and the other corresponding to the sliding support assembly. This invention can significantly reduce the impact of shrinkage of the inner shell during pre-cooling or liquid filling on the support assembly, preventing deformation or weld cracking due to stress, and avoiding leakage of the medium or loss of the interlayer vacuum.
[0004] In existing technologies, horizontal storage tanks are usually designed with a sealed structure to maintain the airtightness of the stored liquid. As a result, it is difficult to control the internal liquid volume, which leads to the inability to replenish the tank with new liquid as the liquid is used. In addition, horizontal storage tanks are usually large in volume, and it is particularly inconvenient to sample and inspect the liquid in the tank when the liquid level is low. Therefore, this utility model provides a PPH horizontal storage tank structure. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and address the problem that horizontal storage tanks are typically designed with a sealed structure to maintain the airtightness of the stored liquid, making it difficult to control the internal liquid volume, which leads to the inability to replenish the tank with new liquid as it is used. Furthermore, horizontal storage tanks are usually large in size, making it particularly inconvenient to sample and inspect the liquid in the tank when the liquid level is low. Therefore, this utility model proposes a PPH horizontal storage tank structure.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The PPH horizontal storage tank structure of this utility model includes a base, a support frame slidably connected to the top of the base, a tank body fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, a feed inlet provided at the top of the tank body, a motor fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base, the output end of the motor extending into the interior of the tank body and fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft, two brackets symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft with the feed inlet as the center, a second rotating shaft fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the two brackets, and a hopper rotatably connected between the two second rotating shafts.
[0007] Preferably, a counterweight is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper.
[0008] Preferably, a pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank, one end of the pipe extends to the outside of the tank and is set in a vertical position, a transparent cover is provided on the outer wall of the pipe, and a filter plate is fixedly connected to the inside of the pipe.
[0009] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft, and two first sliding shafts are symmetrically slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate. A limit block is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two first sliding shafts, and a cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the other end of each of the two first sliding shafts. The cleaning brush is ring-shaped, and a first spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the first sliding shaft. One end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush, and the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the fixing plate. The cleaning brush is in contact with the outer wall of the filter plate.
[0010] Preferably, a positioning plate is fixedly connected to one side of the tank, a third rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the positioning plate, a cam is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third rotating shaft, two second sliding shafts are symmetrically fixedly connected inside the base, both second sliding shafts are slidably connected to the support frame, a second spring is sleeved on the outer wall of each of the two second sliding shafts, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the base, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the support frame, one end of the first rotating shaft passes through the tank and is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear, and a second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the top of the third rotating shaft, with the first bevel gear meshing with the second bevel gear.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the support frame is symmetrically and fixedly connected to two fourth rotating shafts, and the outer walls of the two fourth rotating shafts are rotatably connected to pulleys.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the support frame is provided with a control panel, which is electrically connected to the motor.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. The PPH horizontal storage tank structure described in this utility model, through the setting of a counterweight block, ensures that the opening of the hopper remains upward while rotating around the motor. When the hopper rotates to the inlet, it can transfer the chemical material at the bottom of the tank to the top of the tank, making it easy for sampling personnel to remove. This facilitates sampling of chemical materials when the liquid level in the tank is low. While the first rotating shaft rotates, the cam rotates through the cooperation of the first and second bevel gears. Under the compression of the cam and the reset of the second spring, the tank is driven to sway left and right, thereby mixing the chemical material in the tank and preventing the chemical material in the tank from settling, which would affect the accuracy of sampling and inspection.
[0015] 2. The PPH horizontal storage tank structure described in this utility model utilizes the principle of communicating vessels to ensure that the liquid level in the pipeline is level with the liquid level in the tank. Operators can observe the liquid level in the pipeline by looking through the transparent cover, thereby gaining an understanding of the liquid level in the tank. A first spring is installed to press the cleaning brush against the filter plate, and the rotating cleaning brush continuously washes the filter plate, preventing the precipitates in the chemical materials from clogging the filter plate.

[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0028] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The term "embodiment" appearing in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it specifically limit its independence or connection with other embodiments.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the use of related terms herein is merely for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit this application.
[0030] In the description of this application, the term "and / or" is used to describe the logical relationship between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A exists, B exists, and A and B exist simultaneously. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following objects have an "or" logical relationship.
[0031] In this application, terms such as “first” and “second” are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual quantity, hierarchy or order relationship between these entities or operations.
[0032] Unless otherwise specified, the use of terms such as “comprising,” “including,” “having,” or other similar expressions in this application is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, which does not exclude the presence of additional elements in a process, method, or product that includes the stated elements, such that a process, method, or product that includes a list of elements may include not only those defined elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, or product.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a PPH horizontal storage tank structure, including a base 1, a support frame 11 slidably connected to the top of the base 1, a tank body 12 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 11, a feed inlet 13 provided at the top of the tank body 12, a motor 14 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base 1, the output end of the motor 14 extending into the interior of the tank body 12 and fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft 15, two supports 16 symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 15 with the feed inlet 13 as the center, a second rotating shaft 17 fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the two supports 16, a hopper 18 rotatably connected between the two second rotating shafts 17; a counterweight 19 fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper 18.
[0034] Through the above technical solution, chemical materials are placed into the tank 12 through the inlet 13. When it is necessary to sample and inspect the chemical materials in the tank 12, the motor 14 is started, which drives the first rotating shaft 15 to rotate, causing the hopper 18 to rotate around the motor 14. This allows the hopper 18 to enter the chemical materials. Through the set counterweight 19, the opening of the hopper 18 remains facing upward while rotating around the motor 14. After the hopper 18 enters the chemical materials, the chemical materials enter the hopper 18. With the rotation of the first rotating shaft 15, when the hopper 18 rotates to the inlet 13, it is easy for the sampling personnel to take it out. This facilitates the sampling of chemical materials when the liquid level in the tank 12 is low.
[0035] Specifically, a pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank 12. One end of the pipe 2 extends to the outside of the tank 12 and is set in a vertical position. A transparent cover plate 21 is provided on the outer wall of the pipe 2, and a filter plate 22 is fixedly connected to the inside of the pipe 2.
[0036] Through the above technical solution, the liquid level in the pipe 2 is made level with the liquid level in the tank 12 by using the principle of communicating vessels. The operator can check the liquid level in the pipe 2 by looking at the transparent cover 21, and thus understand the liquid level in the tank 12. The filter plate 22 can filter the liquid entering the pipe 2, and the precipitates in the chemical materials can enter the pipe 2 and cause blockage.
[0037] Specifically, a fixing plate 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 15. Two first sliding shafts 24 are symmetrically slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 23. One end of each of the two first sliding shafts 24 is fixedly connected to a limit block 25. The other end of each of the two first sliding shafts 24 is fixedly connected to a cleaning brush 27. The cleaning brush 27 is ring-shaped. A first spring 26 is sleeved on the outer wall of the first sliding shaft 24. One end of the first spring 26 is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 27, and the other end of the first spring 26 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 23. The cleaning brush 27 is attached to the outer wall of the filter plate 22.
[0038] Through the above technical solution, the first spring 26 is set to make the cleaning brush 27 press against the filter plate 22. When the first rotating shaft 15 rotates, it drives the fixed plate 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the first sliding shaft 24 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning brush 27 to rotate. The rotating cleaning brush 27 continuously brushes the filter plate 22, preventing the precipitates in the chemical materials from clogging the filter plate 22.
[0039] Specifically, a positioning plate 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the tank body 12, a third rotating shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the positioning plate 3, a cam 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third rotating shaft 31, two second sliding shafts 35 are symmetrically fixedly connected inside the base 1, both second sliding shafts 35 are slidably connected to the support frame 11, and a second spring 36 is sleeved on the outer wall of each of the two second sliding shafts 35. One end of the second spring 36 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the other end of the second spring 36 is fixedly connected to the support frame 11. One end of the first rotating shaft 15 passes through the tank body 12 and is fixedly connected to the first bevel gear 33, and a second bevel gear 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the third rotating shaft 31. The first bevel gear 33 and the second bevel gear 34 are meshed together. Two fourth rotating shafts 37 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 11, and pulleys 38 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of each of the two fourth rotating shafts 37.
[0040] Through the above technical solution, the first rotating shaft 15 rotates while driving the first bevel gear 33 to rotate, causing the second bevel gear 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the third rotating shaft 31 to rotate, causing the cam 32 to rotate. When the protruding end of the cam 32 rotates to a position close to the base 1, under the pressure of the cam 32, the cam 32, the tank body 12, and the support frame 11 move to the left, pressing the second spring 36. Through the set pulley 38, the friction between the support frame 11 and the base 1 is reduced. When the protruding end of the cam 32 rotates to a position away from the base 1, the pressure of the cam 32 is lost. Under the action of the second spring 36, the tank body 12 and the support frame 11 move to the right. This process repeats, and when the motor 14 starts, it drives the tank body 12 to shake left and right. This can mix the chemical materials in the tank body 12 evenly and prevent the chemical materials in the tank body 12 from settling, which would affect the accuracy of sampling and inspection.
[0041] Specifically, a control panel 39 is provided on the outer wall of the support frame 11, and the control panel 39 is electrically connected to the motor 14.
[0042] With the above technical solution, the start and stop of the motor 14 can be controlled through the control panel 39.
[0043] In use, the chemical material is placed into the tank 12 through the inlet 13. Using the principle of communicating vessels, the liquid level in the pipe 2 is made level with the liquid level in the tank 12. Operators can observe the liquid level in the pipe 2 through the transparent cover 21, thus understanding the liquid level in the tank 12. The filter plate 22 filters the liquid entering the pipe 2, preventing sediment from entering and clogging the pipe 2. When sampling and testing of the chemical material in the tank 12 is required, the motor 14 is started, driving... The first rotating shaft 15 rotates, causing the hopper 18 to rotate around the motor 14. This allows the hopper 18 to enter the chemical material. A counterweight 19 ensures that the opening of the hopper 18 remains upward as it rotates around the motor 14. Once inside the hopper 18, the chemical material enters. As the first rotating shaft 15 rotates, when the hopper 18 reaches the inlet 13, it is easily removed by the sampling personnel. This facilitates sampling of the chemical material when the liquid level in the tank 12 is low. A first spring 26 further ensures that the sample is properly cleaned. The cleaning brush 27 presses against the filter plate 22. As the first rotating shaft 15 rotates, it drives the fixed plate 23 to rotate, causing the first sliding shaft 24 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning brush 27 to rotate. The rotating cleaning brush 27 continuously scrubs the filter plate 22, preventing precipitates from the chemical materials from clogging it. Simultaneously, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 15 drives the first bevel gear 33 to rotate, causing the second bevel gear 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the third rotating shaft 31 to rotate, causing the cam 32 to rotate. When the protruding end of the cam 32 rotates to a position close to the base 1, the cam 32, under pressure, presses against the tank body. The tank 12 and support frame 11 move to the left, pressing the second spring 36. The friction between the support frame 11 and the base 1 is reduced by the pulley 38. When the protruding end of the cam 32 rotates to a position away from the base 1, the compression of the cam 32 is lost. Under the action of the second spring 36, the tank 12 and support frame 11 move to the right. This process repeats. When the motor 14 starts, it drives the tank 12 to shake left and right. This can mix the chemical materials in the tank 12 evenly and prevent the chemical materials in the tank 12 from settling, which would affect the accuracy of sampling and inspection.
