Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, specifically to an asphalt storage tank for stable asphalt production. Background Technology

[0002] Asphalt, a dark brown complex mixture composed of hydrocarbons of different molecular weights and their non-metallic derivatives, exhibits the characteristics of a high-viscosity organic liquid. It often exists in liquid or semi-solid petroleum form and is widely used in many fields such as waterproofing, moisture-proofing, corrosion prevention, and road paving. During its production and use, it often needs to be stored in tanks with insulation.

[0003] When asphalt needs to be extracted for modification, quality testing, and adjustment, some asphalt adheres to the inner wall of the storage tank due to its high viscosity, making it difficult to completely remove. This results in a waste of raw materials and increases production costs. In existing technologies, cleaning residual asphalt on the inner wall mostly relies on manual operation, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient but also poses high safety risks. The difficulty and cost of manual cleaning are even more pronounced in large storage tanks. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stable asphalt storage tank for asphalt production, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that it is difficult to clean the inner wall of the asphalt storage tank when discharging asphalt.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution, including a tank body, with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe respectively connected to the left and right sides of the tank body. A heating structure is installed on the surface of the tank body. A support plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the tank body. A first motor and a second motor are fixedly connected to the top of the support plate respectively. The output shaft of the second motor is movably connected to the tank body. A stirring rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor. The right side of the stirring rod extends into the inner cavity of the tank body and is movably connected to its inner wall. A cleaning rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the stirring rod. An inclined plate is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the tank body. The surface of the cleaning rod is tightly fitted with the inclined plate. The left side of the cleaning rod extends to the outer side of the tank body. The surface of the output shaft of the second motor is connected to the cleaning rod through a transmission structure.

[0006] Preferably, the transmission structure includes a drive wheel, the inner cavity of which is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor, the drive wheel is connected to a driven wheel via a belt, and the inner cavity of the driven wheel is fixedly connected to the outer end of the cleaning rod.

[0007] Preferably, the heating structure includes an insulation shell, the inner cavity of which is fixedly connected to the tank body, and a heating wire is provided in the inner cavity of the insulation shell, the heating wire being connected to the surface of the tank body.

[0008] Preferably, a support ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the heat insulation shell, and support blocks are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the support ring.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] This solution allows workers to open the discharge pipe when it is necessary to discharge asphalt from the tank. The asphalt then flows out through the discharge pipe, and the inclined plate inside the tank guides the asphalt towards the discharge port, reducing residue. After most of the asphalt has been discharged, the second motor is started. The output shaft of the second motor drives the cleaning rod to rotate through the transmission structure. The cleaning rod cleans the residual asphalt on the inclined plate, thus solving the problem of cleaning the inner wall of the asphalt storage tank when discharging asphalt.

[0015] 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.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0017] Example 1:

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an asphalt storage tank for stable asphalt production, including a tank body 1. A feed pipe and a discharge pipe are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the tank body 1. A heating structure 2 is installed on the surface of the tank body 1. A support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the left side of the tank body 1. A first motor 4 and a second motor 5 are fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 3. The output shaft of the second motor 5 is movably connected to the tank body 1. A stirring rod 6 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 4. The right side of the stirring rod 6 extends into the inner cavity of the tank body 1 and is movably connected to its inner wall. A cleaning rod 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the stirring rod 6. An inclined plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the tank body 1. The surface of the cleaning rod 7 is tightly fitted with the inclined plate 8. The left side of the cleaning rod 7 extends to the outside of the tank body 1. The surface of the output shaft of the second motor 5 is connected to the cleaning rod 7 through a transmission structure.

[0019] Analysis of the above content: The staff first activates the heating structure 2 to preheat the tank 1 (setting an appropriate temperature according to the type of asphalt). After the temperature of the tank 1 stabilizes, the staff discharges the asphalt into the tank 1 through the feed pipe. Then, the first motor 4 is activated to drive the stirring rod 6 to rotate. The blades on the stirring rod 6 mix the asphalt evenly to prevent stratification. The heating structure 2 is then used to prevent the asphalt from solidifying due to low temperature, thus ensuring the stability of the asphalt inside the tank 1.

[0020] When it is necessary to discharge the asphalt inside tank 1, the staff opens the discharge pipe. At this time, the asphalt is discharged under its own weight and the push of the stirring rod 6. The inclined plate 8 inside the tank 1 can guide the asphalt to gather at the discharge port, reducing residue. After most of the asphalt is discharged, the staff turns off the first motor 4 and starts the second motor 5. The output shaft of the second motor 5 drives the cleaning rod 7 to rotate through the transmission structure. During the rotation, the cleaning rod 7 cleans the residual asphalt on the inclined plate 8. The cleaned asphalt can be discharged through the discharge pipe. After completion, the second motor 5 and the heating structure 2 are turned off, thus solving the problem of the difficulty in cleaning the inner wall of the asphalt storage tank when discharging asphalt.

[0021] Example 2:

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution based on Embodiment 1: the transmission structure includes a drive wheel 9, the inner cavity of the drive wheel 9 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 5, the drive wheel 9 is connected to the driven wheel 10 via a belt, and the inner cavity of the driven wheel 10 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the cleaning rod 7.

[0023] Analysis of the above content: The output shaft of the second motor 5 drives the drive wheel 9 to rotate, and the drive wheel 9 drives the driven wheel 10 to rotate in the same direction through the belt. The driven wheel 10 drives the cleaning rod 7 to rotate, thus completing the transmission.

[0024] Example 3:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: the heating structure 2 includes a heat preservation shell 201, the inner cavity of the heat preservation shell 201 is fixedly connected to the tank body 1, the inner cavity of the heat preservation shell 201 is provided with a heating wire 202, and the heating wire 202 is connected to the surface of the tank body 1.

[0026] Analysis of the above content: When asphalt is discharged into the inner cavity of tank 1 from the feed pipe, the insulation shell 201 wraps around tank 1, forming a closed insulation space, reducing the heat loss of asphalt inside tank 1 to the outside, and playing a role in heat insulation. At the same time, the heating wire 202 in its inner cavity can be energized and heated, and the heat is transferred to the surface of tank 1, thereby heating the asphalt inside tank 1, maintaining the appropriate temperature and fluidity of asphalt, avoiding asphalt separation and solidification due to low temperature, ensuring the smoothness of subsequent mixing, storage and discharge, and improving the quality of asphalt storage.

[0027] Example 4:

[0028] Please see Figure 1-3 Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: a support ring 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the heat insulation shell 201, and support blocks are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of the support ring 11.

[0029] Analysis of the above content: The support block at the bottom of the support ring 11 contacts the ground or foundation platform, and the weight of the insulation shell 201 and the tank 1 is evenly distributed through the support ring 11, so as to avoid the equipment tilting or shaking due to the weight of the asphalt inside the tank or the action of external forces, thereby ensuring the structural safety and stability of the storage tank during long-term use.
