Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage tank technology, and in particular to a moisture-proof mechanism for intermediate storage tanks. Background Technology
[0002] Intermediate product storage tanks are key equipment in chemical production used for the temporary storage of intermediate products from chemical reactions. Their design must balance corrosion resistance, sealing performance, and safety. These 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 storage tanks, polypropylene storage tanks, fiberglass storage tanks, ceramic storage tanks, rubber storage tanks, and stainless steel storage tanks. In terms of cost-effectiveness, steel-lined polyethylene storage tanks are currently the most superior, possessing excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and long service life. They can be manufactured in various shapes and sizes, including vertical, horizontal, transport, and mixing types.
[0003] Storage tanks may retain water stains due to various environmental conditions, cleaning, or transportation. These water stains need to be removed before the tank is used. Currently, most tanks are dried naturally. However, this method takes a long time to dry when the tank is in urgent need of use, which affects its performance. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems and deficiencies by proposing a moisture-proof mechanism for intermediate storage tanks: after the electric heater is started, it heats the gas, and finally the hot gas is sent to the inside of the storage tank body by the fan through the delivery pipe. The hot gas drives the gas flow inside the storage tank body, accelerating the drying speed of the storage tank body, facilitating rapid drying and making it easy to use.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A moisture-proof mechanism for an intermediate storage tank includes a tank body with an inlet and an outlet at both ends, and a valve installed in the outlet. A support base is installed on the bottom outer wall of the tank body, and a drying structure is provided at the end of the tank body located at the inlet and outlet. The drying structure includes a drying chamber, two partition plates welded to one end of the inner wall of the drying chamber, a fan installed on the inner wall of one end of the drying chamber, an electric heater installed in the drying chamber between the two partition plates, and a pull-out opening at the center of one end of the drying chamber.
[0007] Preferably, a filter media box is slidably connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber at the pull-out opening, and a maintenance plate is installed on the top outer wall of the drying chamber. Both the maintenance plate and the outer wall of the filter media box are welded with handles.
[0008] Preferably, air inlets are provided on both sides of the outer wall of one end of the filter media box, and sealing strips are adhered to the outer wall of the filter media box where it is attached to the inspection plate and the outer wall of the drying oven.
[0009] Preferably, each of the partition plates has a connecting opening at its center, and baffle plates are installed on the outer wall of the partition plates that are close to each other.
[0010] Preferably, the output end of the blower is connected to a conveying pipe, and the other end of the conveying pipe is connected to one end of the filling port or the discharge port of the storage tank body, and the input end of the blower is connected to the communication port of a partition plate.
[0011] Preferably, the drying oven has support legs installed at both ends of its two outer walls, and casters are installed on the bottom outer walls of the support legs. The fan and the heater are connected to a switch via wires, and the switch is connected to a power source via wires.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] After the electric heater is turned on, it heats the gas. Finally, the hot gas is sent into the tank body by the fan through the delivery pipe. The hot gas drives the gas flow inside the tank body, which accelerates the drying speed of the tank body, making it easy to dry quickly and use. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0019] Example:
[0020] Reference Figure 1-3A moisture-proof mechanism for an intermediate storage tank includes a tank body 1. The tank body 1 has an inlet and an outlet at both ends, with a valve installed in the outlet. A support base 2 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the tank body 1. A drying structure 3 is located at the end of the tank body 1 where the inlet and outlet are located. The drying structure 3 includes a drying chamber 4, two partition plates 5 welded to one end of the inner wall of the drying chamber 4, a fan 12 installed on the inner wall of one end of the drying chamber 4, an electric heater 8 installed between the two partition plates 5 in the drying chamber 4, and a pull-out port 9 located at the center of one end of the drying chamber 4. After the electric heater 8 is activated, it heats the gas. Finally, the hot gas is sent to the inside of the tank body 1 by the fan 12 through a conveying pipe 13. The hot gas drives the gas flow inside the tank body 1, accelerating the drying speed of the tank body 1, facilitating rapid drying and easy use.
[0021] A filter media box 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the drying oven 4 at the pull-out port 9, and a maintenance plate 14 is installed on the top outer wall of the drying oven 4. Both the maintenance plate 14 and the outer wall of the filter media box 10 are welded with handles 15.
[0022] Air inlet holes 11 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the filter media box 10. The outer wall of the filter media box 10 is attached to the inspection plate 14. Sealing strips are glued to the outer wall of the drying oven 4. The filter media box 10 and the inspection plate 14 are installed inside the drying oven 4 by sealing strips and screws to ensure that gas enters the interior only through the air inlet holes 11, so that the filter media can adsorb and filter the incoming gas.
[0023] Each partition plate 5 has a connecting port 6 at its center, and baffle plates 7 are installed on the outer wall of each partition plate 5 close to each other. The baffle plates 7 on the partition plate 5 allow the incoming gas to come into contact with the electric heater 8 from the four sides of the baffle plates 7, which facilitates the heating of the gas and makes it easy to use.
[0024] The output end of the blower 12 is connected to the conveying pipe 13, and the other end of the conveying pipe 13 is connected to the addition port or discharge port of the storage tank body 1. The input end of the blower 12 is connected to the communication port 6 of a partition plate 5.
[0025] The drying oven 4 has support legs 16 installed at both ends of its two outer walls, and casters are installed on the bottom outer walls of the support legs 16. The fan 12 and the heater 8 are connected to a switch via wires, and the switch is connected to a power source via wires. The drying oven 4 is moved by the casters on the support legs 16, which makes it easy to push and move.
[0026] Working principle: In use, place or install the storage tank body 1 in the support base 2, connect the conveying pipe 13 on the drying box 4 to the filling port or outlet of the storage tank body 1, and after the fan 12 at one end of the drying box 4 is started, it draws the gas inside the drying box 4 through the connecting port 6 on the partition plate 5. The gas passes through the air inlet 11 from the outside and comes into contact with the filter material inside the filter material box 10. The filter material adsorbs and filters the gas. Then the gas enters between the partition plates 5 through the connecting port 6. The baffle plate 7 on the outer wall of the partition plate 5 guides the gas to both ends of the partition plate 5. After the electric heater 8 is started, it heats the gas. Finally, the hot gas is sent to the inside of the storage tank body 1 by the fan 12 through the conveying pipe 13. The hot gas drives the gas flow inside the storage tank body 1, accelerates the drying speed of the storage tank body 1, facilitates rapid drying, and is easy to use.
