Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tank equipment technology, specifically to a marine tank anti-sway structure. Background Technology
[0002] Tanks are widely used in both shipboard equipment and transport equipment. Because ships inevitably experience up-and-down movement during navigation, and the liquid inside the tanks sloshes during acceleration and deceleration. This sloshing of the liquid generates significant impact forces and moments, leading to poor tank stability and a tendency for displacement, posing a certain danger. Therefore, anti-sloshing structural designs are necessary to mitigate this problem.
[0003] Anti-sloshing structures come in various designs, aiming to reduce liquid sloshing during transportation and improve the stability and safety of the tank. Current anti-sloshing structures primarily use baffles to prevent sloshing. While simple baffles are structurally simple, their anti-sloshing effect is inadequate.
[0004] For example, the aforementioned problem exists in patent (CN221699808U); it describes "a stainless steel tank structure, including a tank body and anti-sloshing plates, an inspection port is provided at the upper end of the tank body, the anti-sloshing plates are provided inside the tank body, and two anti-sloshing plates are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the tank body, a cover assembly is provided at the upper end of the inspection port, the exterior of the tank body is covered with anti-rust paint, a first auxiliary water tank is provided at the right end of the tank body, and a second auxiliary water tank is provided at the left end of the tank body, with a connecting pipe at the front end of the second auxiliary water tank. Compared with existing ordinary stainless steel tanks, this stainless steel tank structure divides the entire tank into compartments by setting anti-sloshing plates inside the tank body, and the anti-sloshing plates have through holes on all four sides to ensure smooth water flow between the compartments and reduce the impact force of water flow on the tank body"; however, the anti-sloshing plates divide the tank body into compartments inside the tank body, and the anti-sloshing plates only reduce the impact force in the middle of the inner side of the tank body, resulting in poor anti-swaying effect.
[0005] To address the existing anti-sway structures for tanks, which mainly rely on wave deflectors to prevent swaying, we propose a new anti-sway structure for marine tanks. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a ship tank anti-sway structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a marine tank anti-sway structure, including a tank and a base, wherein the tank is located on the top of the base, and the top of the base is provided with a limiting component for the tank. The tank is provided with a plurality of wave deflectors inside, and the outer walls of the wave deflectors are provided with horizontally slidably connected floats on both sides. The outer walls of the floats away from the wave deflectors are provided with rotatably connected auxiliary plates. The top of the floats is provided with through grooves that match the auxiliary plates. The outer walls of the auxiliary plates are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the floats via a rotating shaft, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The two ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and the floats, respectively.
[0008] Furthermore, the baffle plate has a disc-shaped structure, the outer diameter of the baffle plate is equal to the inner diameter of the tank, and the outer wall of the baffle plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank. A first through hole is opened at the bottom of the outer wall of the baffle plate, and a second through hole is opened at the top of the outer wall of the baffle plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the wave deflector is vertically provided with a guide groove, and the two floats are fixedly connected by a connecting plate, which is slidably disposed inside the guide groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the wave deflector is provided with guide rails on both sides of the guide groove, and the outer wall of the float is provided with sliders that match the guide rails.
[0011] Furthermore, a first baffle is inclined at the top of the inner wall of the tank on one side of the baffle plate, and a second baffle is inclined at the top of the inner wall of the tank on the other side of the baffle plate. The bottoms of the first baffle and the second baffle are both inclined toward the baffle plate, and hemispherical shell-shaped baffles are provided at both ends of the inner wall of the tank.
[0012] Furthermore, the limiting component includes two limiting frames, which are symmetrically arranged. A first rubber roller frame and a second rubber roller frame are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the limiting frame. The first rubber roller frame and the second rubber roller frame are perpendicular to each other, and the top of the first rubber roller frame and the second rubber roller frame are respectively provided with a rotatably connected rubber roller.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of a tank body, base, wave deflector, float plate, auxiliary plate, through groove, rotating shaft, and torsion spring, provides isolation and wave protection for the liquid inside the tank, effectively dividing and isolating the liquid within the tank. This effectively reduces the impact force of the liquid inside the tank on the tank body, thereby improving the safety and stability of the tank on the ship. The float plate covers and supports the top of the liquid inside the tank on both sides of the wave deflector, effectively reducing the fluctuation of the liquid inside the tank. The auxiliary plate provides auxiliary restraint for the liquid inside the tank at one end of the float plate, and its elastic torsional support allows the auxiliary plate to adaptively protect the liquid inside the tank, effectively reducing the fluctuation of the liquid inside the tank, further reducing the impact force of the liquid inside the tank, and improving the anti-swaying effect of the tank. The uniquely designed anti-swaying structure of this utility model effectively improves the anti-swaying effect of the liquid inside the tank, preventing the tank on board from swaying during ship operation, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the marine tank.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, during normal ship navigation, the liquid inside the tank first impacts the surface of the wave deflector. The wave deflector effectively blocks and isolates the liquid inside the tank, thus segmenting the fluctuations and preventing uniform fluctuations from impacting the tank end. This effectively reduces the impact force of the liquid fluctuations, thereby improving the safety and stability of the tank on the ship. Simultaneously, the floats on both sides of the wave deflector provide horizontal support to the top of the liquid. The fluctuations of the liquid can only push the floats up and down, effectively reducing the fluctuations and making the liquid inside the tank more stable, further reducing the impact force. The liquid fluctuations acting on the auxiliary plate can push the auxiliary plate to rotate, compressing the torsion spring. Simultaneously, the rebound of the torsion spring can drive the auxiliary plate to reset. The rebound of the auxiliary plate pushes back onto the liquid inside the tank, further reducing the fluctuations and making the liquid inside the tank more stable, effectively reducing the impact force.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a marine tank anti-sway structure, comprising a tank body 1 and a base 2. The tank body 1 is located on top of the base 2, and a limiting component 3 for the tank body 1 is provided on the top of the base 2. The tank body 1 contains several anti-sloshing plates 4. Float plates 5 are horizontally connected to the outer walls of the anti-sloshing plates 4. An auxiliary plate 6 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the float plate 5 away from the anti-sloshing plates 4. A through groove 7 matching the auxiliary plate 6 is opened on the top of the float plate 5. The outer wall of the auxiliary plate 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the float plate 5 via a rotating shaft 8, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 8. The two ends of the torsion spring are respectively connected to the rotating shaft 8 and the float plate 5. Plate 5 is fixedly connected; the baffle plate 4 is a disc-shaped structure, the outer diameter of the baffle plate 4 is equal to the inner diameter of the tank 1, and the outer wall of the baffle plate 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank 1. A first through hole 401 is opened at the bottom of the outer wall of the baffle plate 4, and a second through hole 402 is opened at the top of the outer wall of the baffle plate 4; a first partition 101 is inclined on one side of the top of the inner wall of the tank 1 on the baffle plate 4, and a second partition 102 is inclined on the other side of the top of the inner wall of the tank 1 on the baffle plate 4. The bottoms of the first partition 101 and the second partition 102 are both inclined toward the baffle plate 4, and hemispherical shell-shaped isolation plates 103 are provided at both ends of the inner wall of the tank 1.
[0025] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the breakwater 4 is vertically provided with a guide groove 403, and the two floats 5 are fixedly connected by a connecting plate 9. The connecting plate 9 is slidably disposed inside the guide groove 403. The guide groove 403 and the connecting plate 9 cooperate to drive the floats 5 on both sides of the breakwater 4 to move synchronously up and down. The guide groove 403 guides the two floats 5 to move up and down through the connecting plate 9, which can effectively improve the safety and stability of the floats 5 rising and falling.
[0026] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the wave deflector 4 is provided with guide rails 404 on both sides of the guide groove 403, and the outer wall of the float 5 is provided with a slider 501 that matches the guide rails 404. The sliding cooperation between the guide rails 404 and the slider 501 can effectively ensure that the float 5 only moves vertically up and down, ensuring that the float 5 will not tilt or deviate, thereby ensuring the stability of the float 5.
[0027] In one embodiment, the limiting component 3 includes two limiting frames 301, which are symmetrically arranged and provide limiting support at both ends of the bottom of the tank 1, effectively improving the stability of the tank 1. A first rubber roller frame 302 and a second rubber roller frame 303 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the limiting frame 301. The first rubber roller frame 302 and the second rubber roller frame 303 are perpendicular to each other, allowing the first rubber roller frame 302 to clamp and limit the outer wall of the tank 1, and the second rubber roller frame 303 to... The end of the tank body 1 is blocked and limited. The first rubber roller frame 302 and the second rubber roller frame 303 provide limiting support on the side and end of the tank body 1, respectively, which can effectively improve the safety and stability of the tank body 1. The top of the first rubber roller frame 302 and the second rubber roller frame 303 are respectively provided with rotatably connected rubber rollers 304. The rubber rollers 304 contact and support the outer wall of the tank body 1. The use of rubber support components to contact the outer wall of the tank body 1 can effectively buffer and support the outside of the tank body 1, and can effectively improve the safety and stability of the tank body 1.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model:
[0029] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-5This utility model comprises a tank body 1, a base 2, a wave deflector 4, a float 5, an auxiliary plate 6, a channel 7, a rotating shaft 8, and a torsion spring. The base 2 is fixed to the hull, and the tank body 1 is mounted above the base 2. A limiting component 3 provides limiting support for the tank body 1 at the top of the base 2, effectively ensuring the safety and stability of the tank body 1. The wave deflector 4 isolates and prevents wave damage to the liquid inside the tank body 1, effectively dividing and isolating the liquid inside the tank body 1, thus reducing the impact force of the liquid on the tank body 1 and improving the safety and stability of the tank body 1 on the ship. The float 5 is positioned above the wave deflector 4. The top of the liquid inside the tank 1 is covered and supported on both sides, which can effectively reduce the fluctuation of the liquid inside the tank 1. The auxiliary plate 6 provides auxiliary limiting of the liquid inside the tank 1 at one end of the float plate 5. The through groove 7 provides movement space for the auxiliary plate 6. The rotating shaft 8 provides rotational support for the auxiliary plate 6, and the torsion spring provides elastic torsional support for the rotating shaft 8, thereby realizing elastic torsional support for the auxiliary plate 6. This allows the auxiliary plate 6 to perform adaptive anti-wave treatment for the liquid inside the tank 1, which can effectively reduce the fluctuation of the liquid inside the tank 1, further reduce the impact force of the liquid inside the tank 1, and improve the anti-sway treatment effect of the tank 1.
[0030] During normal ship navigation, tank 1 will sway with the ship. As tank 1 sways, the liquid inside will fluctuate. The liquid first impacts the surface of the wave deflector 4, which effectively blocks and isolates the liquid, thus segmenting the fluctuations and preventing a uniform impact on the end of tank 1. This reduces the impact force of the liquid fluctuations, improving the safety and stability of tank 1 on the ship. Simultaneously, floats 5 horizontally cover and support the top of the liquid on both sides of the wave deflector 4. When the liquid inside tank 1 fluctuates, the liquid needs to be supported by the floats. 5. Fluid fluctuation treatment: The sliding design of float 5 allows it to move only up and down, not tilt. This ensures that fluid fluctuations can only push float 5 up and down, effectively reducing fluid fluctuations and making the fluid inside tank 1 more stable, thus reducing the impact force of the fluid inside tank 1. In addition, when the fluid inside tank 1 fluctuates, the fluid acts on the auxiliary plate 6, pushing the auxiliary plate 6 to rotate. The torsion spring is compressed, and under the rebound support of the torsion spring, the auxiliary plate 6 can be reset. The rebound of the auxiliary plate 6 pushes the fluid inside tank 1, further reducing fluid fluctuations and making the fluid inside tank 1 more stable, thus effectively reducing the impact force of the fluid inside tank 1.
[0031] The baffle plate 4 is designed as a disc-shaped structure, and the size of the baffle plate 4 is limited so that the baffle plate 4 can fully cover and block the inside of the tank 1, which can effectively improve the partitioning and isolation effect inside the tank 1. The first through hole 401 at the bottom of the baffle plate 4 provides a communication channel for the liquid, ensuring that the liquid inside the tank 1 remains unobstructed. The second through hole 402 at the top of the baffle plate 4 provides a communication channel for the liquid, so that the fluctuating liquid can pass through the second through hole 402 from the top of the baffle plate 4 and move to other positions, which can effectively reduce the impact force of the fluctuating liquid completely hitting the baffle plate 4.
[0032] The first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 isolate and partition the liquid inside the tank 1 on both sides of the top of the baffle 4, resulting in more liquid partitioning at the top of the inner side of the tank 1. This effectively improves the separation and treatment of liquid fluctuations at the top of the inner side of the tank 1, and also improves the anti-surge treatment effect. The first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are inclined, and the inclination angles of the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are opposite, which can effectively isolate liquid fluctuations in different directions. The hemispherical baffle 103 provides isolation and protection at both ends of the inner wall of the tank 1, which can effectively improve the impact resistance of both ends of the tank 1.
[0033] This utility model utilizes a uniquely designed anti-sway structure for the tank body, which effectively improves the anti-sway effect of the liquid inside the tank body 1, preventing the tank body 1 from swaying during ship operation and ensuring the stability and reliability of the marine tank body 1.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
