Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical storage tank technology, specifically relating to a sedimentation-resistant self-cleaning chemical storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] Chemical storage tanks are containers used to store chemical and corrosive materials. Different types of chemical storage tanks are selected based on the characteristics and types of the materials when storing different kinds of materials. Chemical storage tanks are divided into three categories: metal, non-metal, and metal-non-metal composite. Chemical storage tanks are used to stably collect and store materials.

[0003] Modern chemical storage tanks mainly consist of three parts: an outer shell, an inner liner, and a sealing cover. Materials are poured into the inner liner, which is made of a material that allows for stable storage and prevents corrosion. The sealing cover ensures the overall sealing effect of the chemical storage tank during material storage, preventing leakage of materials from inside the tank.

[0004] While existing chemical storage tanks possess basic storage functions, material stratification can occur during long-term storage. Specifically, light components adhere to the tank walls, forming a difficult-to-remove layer, while heavy components deposit at the bottom, forming sediment. This stratification effect leads to the separation of the effective components of the material, deterioration of storage quality, and a significant increase in equipment maintenance intensity.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the upper surface of the sealing cover is equipped with an installation bracket, which provides support for the installation and operation of the drive motor, and the connecting rod is a hollow tubular structure.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a cleaning mechanism, which includes a mounting base, a connecting arm and a cleaning scraper. The mounting base is installed outside the connecting rod and above the stirring component. The connecting arm is installed at equal intervals on the side of the mounting base. The cleaning scraper is installed at the end of the connecting arm and moves along the inner wall of the main tank.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism further includes a spray port, a connecting pipe and a feeding bin. The cleaning scraper is equipped with a spray port on its side, and the connecting arm is equipped with a connecting pipe on its side. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to the spray port, and the other end of the connecting pipe is connected to the connecting rod. A feeding bin is installed on the outside of the connecting rod.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the cleaning mechanism further includes a feeding trough and an input end. The feeding trough for inputting materials is equidistantly opened on the outside of the connecting rod and on the side of the feeding bin. The feeding bin is rotatably connected to the connecting rod, and the input end is installed on the side of the feeding bin.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a base is installed on the upper surface of the sealing cover, the base is connected to the feeding bin, and the connecting rod passes through the feeding bin and the base.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the main tank body is composed of an outer shell and an inner liner, with the outer shell located below the sealing cap and the inner liner installed inside the outer shell.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention effectively solves the stratification problem caused by long-term storage in chemical tanks by incorporating a stirring mechanism and a cleaning mechanism within the main tank. The stirring component drives the connecting rod to rotate, which on the one hand prevents material from adhering to the wall and settling, maintaining material uniformity; on the other hand, the connecting rod drives the cleaning mechanism to rotate, causing the cleaning scraper to move along the inner wall of the tank to promptly remove any adhered material.

[0015] This invention effectively suppresses material stratification, ensuring the stability of the quality of stored materials, significantly reducing the frequency of tank maintenance, and significantly improving the overall efficiency of the tank.

[0016] In the cleaning process, the cleaning agent can be fed into the connecting rod through the feeding hopper and sprayed from the spray port onto the inner wall of the tank through the connecting pipe, assisting the cleaning scraper in removing residual materials, thus achieving efficient cleaning.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.

[0026] Depend on Figure 1 As shown, this is a structural schematic diagram of the anti-sedimentation self-cleaning chemical storage tank in this embodiment. The chemical storage tank includes a main tank body 1, and a sealing cover 2 is installed at the top of the main tank body 1. The sealing cover 2 covers and seals the opening at the top of the main tank body 1 to prevent the material stored in the main tank body 1 from leaking due to long-term contact with air. A discharge end 3 is installed at the bottom of the main tank body 1. The discharge end 3 is controlled to open and close by a control valve to output the material stored inside the main tank body 1.

[0027] The material is introduced into the main tank 1, and then the material is processed stably through the operation of the main tank 1 and its internal components.

[0028] From the appendix Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the stirring mechanism 4 in this embodiment. The upper surface of the sealing cover 2 is equipped with a stirring mechanism 4 for stirring the material inside the main tank 1 and preventing the material inside the main tank 1 from settling. The stirring mechanism 4 consists of a drive motor 41 and a connecting rod 42. The upper surface of the sealing cover 2 is equipped with a mounting bracket, and the drive motor 41 is mounted on the mounting bracket. The output end of the drive motor 41 is equipped with a connecting rod 42, which is rotatably connected to the sealing cover 2. The connecting rod 42 passes through the sealing cover 2 and enters the main tank 1.

[0029] The drive motor 41 drives the connecting rod 42 to rotate. The end of the connecting rod 42 is equipped with a stirring element 43 to agitate the material in the main tank 1. When the connecting rod 42 rotates, the stirring element 43 rotates synchronously with the connecting rod 42 to agitate the material in the bottom area of ​​the main tank 1, preventing the material from settling and precipitating after a long period of stillness.

[0030] From the appendix Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the cleaning mechanism 5 in this embodiment. The main tank 1 is provided with a cleaning mechanism 5 for cleaning the inner wall of the main tank 1. The cleaning mechanism 5 includes a mounting base 51 and a connecting arm 52. The mounting base 51 is mounted on the connecting rod 42. The connecting arm 52 is equidistantly mounted on the side of the mounting base 51. The end of the connecting arm 52 is equipped with a cleaning scraper 53 for cleaning the inner wall of the main tank 1. When the connecting rod 42 rotates, the connecting rod 42 drives the mounting base 51 and the connecting arm 52 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the cleaning scraper 53 slides along the inner wall of the main tank 1 to clean the material attached to the inner wall of the main tank 1.

[0031] In this example, a feeding bin 56 is installed on the outside of the connecting rod 42. The feeding bin 56 is a hollow cylindrical structure. An input end 58 for inputting cleaning agent is installed on the side of the feeding bin 56. A feeding trough 57 is opened on the connecting rod 42 to guide and transport the cleaning agent entering the feeding bin 56. Because the connecting rod 42 itself is a hollow tubular structure, the cleaning agent flows along the inner wall of the connecting rod 42.

[0032] The cleaning agent is fed into the feeding hopper 56 through the input end 58 of the cleaning agent cylinder, and then fed into the connecting rod 42 through the feeding groove 57 on the connecting rod 42, so as to facilitate the subsequent spraying of the cleaning agent.

[0033] In this embodiment, a connecting pipe 55 for guiding cleaning agent is installed on the side of the connecting arm 52, and a spray port 54 is installed on the side of the cleaning scraper 53. One end of the connecting pipe 55 is connected to the connecting rod 42, and the other end of the connecting pipe 55 is connected to the spray port 54. The cleaning agent conveyed in the connecting rod 42 is input into the spray port 54 through the connecting pipe 55. The cleaning agent is sprayed directly out of the spray port 54. After the material in the main tank 1 is discharged, the cleaning agent is sprayed onto the inner wall of the main tank 1, and the cleaning scraper 53 is used to perform stable cleaning of the inner wall of the main tank 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the spray port 54 can also spray additives during use, which changes the traditional method of adding additives. It enables the additives to be introduced into the material while it is being stirred, thus improving the quality of the final product.

[0035] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
