Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material storage and transportation equipment technology, specifically to a storage tank with a self-locking bottom guard plate, which is particularly suitable for storage tanks with bottom guard plates in industries such as tobacco and grain storage. Background Technology

[0002] In industries such as tobacco processing that involve material storage tanks, the bottom guard plate of the tank is a key component to ensure production continuity. It protects the bottom of the tank from external damage and ensures the stability of the material storage and transportation process.

[0003] However, existing guard plates have significant drawbacks in practical applications: due to their heavy weight and high installation position, disassembly requires two operators working together, increasing labor costs and increasing the risk of safety hazards due to operator errors. Furthermore, the insufficient clearance between the traditional guard plate and the hook necessitates repeated angle adjustments to disassemble it, and during installation, space constraints make precise insertion into the slot difficult, leading to frequent guard plate falls. Falling guard plates not only threaten personnel safety but also cause deformation and damage, weakening the bottom belt's protective capabilities, increasing equipment maintenance costs, and impacting production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a storage cabinet with a self-locking bottom plate that can be operated by a single person, enabling rapid opening and closing and reliable fixation by a single person, fundamentally solving the risks of collaborative operation and the problem of installation falling off. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this application is to provide a storage cabinet with a self-locking bottom guard plate, which aims to solve the technical problems of existing storage cabinet bottom guard plates, which require two people to operate due to structural defects and are prone to falling off during installation, causing safety hazards and low efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: A storage cabinet with a self-locking bottom guard plate includes a support plate, side plates on both the left and right end walls of the support plate, a fixing plate on the outer side wall of the side plate, a fixing seat in the middle of the front side wall of the support plate, a through hole in the outer wall of the fixing seat, guard plates on the left and right sides of the front side wall of the support plate via a rotating connection mechanism, a handle at the bottom of the front side wall of the guard plate, a fixing rod rotatably connected to the bottom of the front side wall of the guard plate above the handle via a pin seat, a hook on the top wall of the fixing rod, and a permanent magnet on the rear wall of the fixing rod.

[0007] As a further improvement of this application, the rotating connection mechanism includes a connecting seat, and a round rod is rotatably connected to the connecting plates on the left and right sides of the connecting seat via bearings. A cylinder is interference-fitted to the outer wall of the round rod, and a top seat is provided on the outer wall of the cylinder. The bottom wall of the top seat is fixedly connected to the top wall of the guard plate.

[0008] As a further improvement of this application, the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the connecting plates on the left and right sides of the connecting seat, and the inner ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round rod.

[0009] As a further improvement of this application, the outer wall of the permanent magnet is magnetically attracted to the front side wall of the protective plate.

[0010] The technical solution provided in this application may include the following beneficial effects: During use, this application utilizes a linkage design between the pivot and the handle, allowing operators to rotate and unfold the protective plate with a single pull from a low position. This completely eliminates the need for two-person coordinated lifting operations required for traditional protective plate disassembly, significantly reducing reliance on manpower and associated safety hazards. The innovative magnetic fixing rod automatically attracts the protective plate through a permanent magnet after the hook is inserted into the through hole, forming a double lock. This effectively solves the installation misalignment and protective plate falling risk caused by the small gap between traditional hooks. The unfolded protective plate can be stably suspended in the working position, providing unobstructed operating space for storage tank maintenance. After the maintenance is completed, it can be quickly reset and the bottom protection belt can be restored, avoiding equipment downtime and increased maintenance costs due to protective plate deformation and damage.

[0014] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] See Figure 1-2 As shown, a storage cabinet with a self-locking bottom guard plate includes a support plate. Side plates are provided on both the left and right end walls of the support plate. A fixing plate is provided on the outer side wall of the side plate. A fixing seat is provided in the middle of the front side wall of the support plate. A through hole is provided on the outer wall of the fixing seat. Guard plates are provided on the left and right sides of the front side wall of the support plate through a rotating connection mechanism. A handle is provided at the bottom of the front side wall of the guard plate. A fixing rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the front side wall of the guard plate above the handle through a pin seat. A hook is provided on the top wall of the fixing rod. A permanent magnet is provided on the rear side wall of the fixing rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the rotating connection mechanism includes a connecting seat, and a round rod is rotatably connected to the connecting plates on the left and right sides of the connecting seat via bearings. A cylinder is interference-fitted to the outer wall of the round rod, and a top seat is provided on the outer wall of the cylinder. The bottom wall of the top seat is fixedly connected to the top wall of the protective plate.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the connecting plates on the left and right sides of the connecting seat, and the inner ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round rod.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer wall of the permanent magnet is magnetically attracted to the front side wall of the protective plate.

[0019] One specific application of this embodiment is: When in use, firstly, the device is fixed to the columns on both sides of the original storage tank guard plate using the fixing plate 3, according to the actual installation conditions and requirements on site, and is precisely installed by welding or bolting. This ensures the stability and reliability of the entire device in subsequent operations. When the guard plate 6 needs to be opened for related operations such as storage tank pest control, the operator only needs to apply a certain pulling force to the handle 7. Under this pulling force, the guard plate 6 will drive the top seat 16, cylinder 15 and round rod 14 connected to it to move together. Using the round rod 14 as the rotation axis, the guard plate 6 can rotate smoothly and orderly around the round rod 14 to open in a forward and upward manner. After the guard plate 6 is rotated and opened to the appropriate position, the fixing rod 9 is pulled forward. At this time, the fixing rod 9 will rotate around the pin seat 8 as the rotation center, thereby driving the permanent magnet 11 to be smoothly removed from the guard plate 6. Then, the pre-prepared hook 10 is precisely inserted into the through hole 5 located in a specific position, and the fixing rod 9 is hooked on the outer wall of the fixing seat 4. Through such a series of precise and coordinated operations, the guard plate 6 is fixed in a stable and reliable manner. At this time, a comprehensive and efficient cleaning operation can be carried out inside the storage tank. After the cleaning operation is completed, follow the reverse operation sequence: first pull the hook 10 out of the through hole 5, then slowly lower the protective plate 6. During the lowering process of the protective plate 6, due to its linkage with the top seat 16, cylinder 15 and round rod 14, these components will be driven to rotate in the opposite direction through the round rod 14, so that the protective plate 6 moves down along the predetermined trajectory and is accurately reset, effectively protecting the bottom of the storage tank again. Finally, firmly attach the permanent magnet 11 to the front side wall of the protective plate 6. With the help of the attraction between the permanent magnet 11 and the protective plate 6, the fixing rod 9 is stably fixed, ensuring that the entire device is restored to its initial protection.

[0020] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
