Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of triethylene glycol processing technology, specifically to a storage device for triethylene glycol processing. Background Technology
[0002] Triethylene glycol, also known as triethylene glycol diethylene glycol, is an alcohol-based organic compound. It is usually a colorless, odorless, sweet-tasting viscous liquid with hygroscopic properties. It is miscible with many organic solvents such as water, ethanol, and benzene, but sparingly soluble in ethers and insoluble in petroleum ether. Its physical properties are stable, but it can undergo reactions such as ether bond cleavage under high temperatures or in the presence of catalysts. Triethylene glycol is easily decomposed and oxidized at high temperatures, leading to quality degradation and even safety issues. Storage devices need to be equipped with a constant temperature system to stabilize the temperature within the room temperature range and avoid direct sunlight or heat radiation. Stainless steel storage tanks are used for storing triethylene glycol and are a commonly used, cost-effective choice in industry. Although triethylene glycol is relatively weakly corrosive, long-term storage may lead to metal corrosion due to trace amounts of moisture or impurities. Stainless steel, through the addition of elements such as chromium and nickel to form a dense oxide film, can effectively resist the corrosion of triethylene glycol and its possible acidic or alkaline impurities, ensuring the lifespan of the tank and the purity of the liquid.
[0003] If a storage tank tipps over during transportation due to shaking, it may cause the tank to collide violently with the ground or other objects, resulting in deformation of the tank wall, cracking of welds, or breakage of the supporting structure, leading to leakage of the stored contents.

[0025] Example 1
[0026] Reference Figure 1-4This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a storage device for processing triethylene glycol, including a storage tank 1 and a feed inlet 2. The feed inlet 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 1. Placement plates 3 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the outer surface of the storage tank 1. A connecting ring 4 is provided on the top of the placement plate 3 and is fitted onto the surface of the storage tank 1. Grooves 5 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the connecting ring 4. Slots 6 are provided on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the groove 5. Locking blocks 7 are fixedly connected on both the left and right sides of the connecting ring 4. A cavity 8 is provided inside the locking block 7. A plugging mechanism 9 is provided inside the cavity 8 and is plugged into the inside of the slot 6. A rotating mechanism 10 is provided inside the cavity 8 to cooperate with the plugging mechanism 9. The inner wall of the connecting ring 4 is rounded and fits against the surface of the storage tank 1. The locking blocks 7 on the surface of the connecting ring 4 can be adjusted according to the grooves 5 on the surface of the connecting ring 4 to connect two adjacent connecting rings 4.
[0027] Specifically, the connecting ring 4 can be fitted onto the surface of the storage tank 1 according to transportation needs, and then adjacent connecting rings 4 can be connected by the locking block 7 to fix the adjacent storage tanks 1, thereby improving the stability of the storage tank 1 during transportation.
[0028] Furthermore, the connecting ring 4 is fitted onto the surface of the storage tank 1, and then connected to the groove 5 on the surface of another connecting ring 4 by the locking block 7 on the surface of the connecting ring 4, thereby completing the fixation of the storage tank 1 and improving the stability of the storage tank 1.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] In the second embodiment of this utility model, the insertion mechanism 9 includes a compression spring 901, two connecting blocks 902, two inserts 903, and two toothed blocks 904. The compression spring 901 is disposed inside the cavity 8. The two connecting blocks 902 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the compression spring 901. The two inserts 903 are respectively fixedly connected to the two connecting blocks 902 on the opposite sides, and the inserts 903 are inserted into the slot 6. The two toothed blocks 904 are respectively fixedly connected to the two connecting blocks 902 on the side near the connecting ring 4. The toothed blocks 904 cooperate with the rotating mechanism 10. A support rod 12 is fixedly connected inside the cavity 8, and the support rod 12 passes through the surface of the two connecting blocks 902. The connecting blocks 902 are slidably connected to the surface of the support rod 12.
[0031] Specifically, the connecting rings 4 can be plugged into the connecting mechanism 9 to fix two adjacent connecting rings 4 and improve the stability of the connection.
[0032] Furthermore, the movement of the toothed block 904 can drive the connecting block 902 to move. When the connecting block 902 moves, it can squeeze the compression spring 901, and then drive the insert post 903 into the cavity 8. At this time, the connecting ring 4 can be engaged with the groove 5 on the surface of another connecting ring 4 through the locking block 7.
[0033] Example 3
[0034] In the third embodiment of this utility model, the rotating mechanism 10 includes two rotating gears 1001, a linkage gear 1002, two rotating wheels 1003, a transmission belt 1004, and a rotating column 1005. The two rotating gears 1001 are respectively disposed on the right side of the two tooth blocks 904 and mesh with the tooth blocks 904. The linkage gear 1002 is rotatably connected to the inside of the cavity 8. The two rotating wheels 1003 are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the linkage gear 1002 and the rotating gear 1001. The transmission belt 1004 is sleeved on the surface of the two rotating wheels 1003. The rotating column 1005 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating gear 1001 and extends out of the surface of the locking block 7. A vertical groove 11 is provided on the top of the rotating column 1005.
[0035] Specifically, the two connecting rings 4 can be assembled by rotating the mechanism 10 to drive the insertion mechanism 9 to move.
[0036] Furthermore, the rotating column 1005 rotates, which drives the rotating gear 1001 to rotate. The rotating gear 1001, in turn, drives the meshing linkage gear 1002 to rotate. The rotation of the linkage gear 1002 then drives the rotating wheel 1003 to rotate, which in turn drives another rotating wheel 1003 to rotate via the transmission belt 1004. This rotation of the rotating wheel 1003 drives the rotating gear 1001 at its bottom to rotate. At this time, both rotating gears 1001 drive the two meshing tooth blocks 904 to move.
[0037] Working principle:
[0038] Rotating the rotating column 1005 drives the rotating gear 1001 to rotate, which in turn drives the meshing linkage gear 1002 to rotate. The rotation of the linkage gear 1002 then drives the rotating wheel 1003 to rotate, which in turn drives another rotating wheel 1003 to rotate via the transmission belt 1004. This rotation of the rotating wheel 1003 drives the rotating gear 1001 at its bottom to rotate. At this time, both rotating gears 1001 drive two meshing toothed blocks 904 to move. The movement of the toothed blocks 904 drives the connecting block 902 to move. When the connecting block 902 moves, it can compress the compression spring 901, which then drives the insert post 903 into the cavity 8. At this time, the connecting ring 4 can be engaged with the groove 5 on the surface of another connecting ring 4 via the locking block 7. After the engagement is completed, the rotating column 1005 can be rotated in the opposite direction to insert the insert post 903 into the slot 6, thereby completing the connection of the two connecting rings 4.
[0039] In summary, by using the storage tank 1, inlet 2, placement plate 3, connecting ring 4, groove 5, slot 6, locking block 7, cavity 8, insertion mechanism 9, rotation mechanism 10, vertical groove 11, and support rod 12 in combination, the problem of leakage of internal stored materials is solved if the storage tank tipps over due to shaking during transportation, which may cause the tank to collide violently with the ground or other objects, resulting in deformation of the tank wall, cracking of welds, or breakage of the support structure.
