Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of oil tanker trucks, specifically relating to anti-wave devices and liquid level detection mechanisms for oil tanker trucks. Background Technology
[0002] When a tanker truck is moving, it will be subjected to a great impact in the forward direction and vertical direction due to uneven road surface, bouncing or sudden stop. When turning, the tank body of the tanker truck will be subjected to lateral impact due to liquid sloshing. In order to reduce the impact, baffles are welded inside the tank body.
[0003] Currently, most tank truck baffles are horizontally welded inside the tank body, which can effectively reduce the impact when the vehicle brakes. However, because the baffles are fixed, the oil constantly impacts the baffles when the tank truck starts and brakes frequently during operation. Over time, the baffles are prone to loosening and damage.
[0004] Therefore, a wave-damping device and liquid level detection mechanism for oil tankers are designed to solve the technical problem that fixed wave-damping plates in the prior art are damaged after long-term impact from oil.
[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, the above description is not considered to constitute prior art information. Utility Model Content
[0006] This disclosure provides at least one anti-wave device and liquid level detection mechanism for oil tank trucks.
[0007] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a wave-damping device for oil tankers, comprising:
[0008] A liquid tank is installed on an oil tanker, and the upper surface of the liquid tank is provided with several liquid inlets;
[0009] The liquid level detection mechanism is located inside the liquid tank and is suitable for detecting the liquid level height of liquid entering the tank through the inlet.
[0010] Several linear wave-damping mechanisms are evenly arranged inside the liquid tank along its length to mitigate the impact of the liquid inside the tank on both ends of the tank during the movement of the tanker truck; and
[0011] Several lateral wave-damping mechanisms are spaced apart from each of the linear wave-damping mechanisms inside the liquid tank to mitigate the impact of the liquid inside the tank on the side wall of the tank when the tanker truck turns.
[0012] In one optional embodiment, the liquid level detection mechanism includes:
[0013] The detection rod is vertically installed inside the liquid tank; wherein
[0014] The outer wall of the detection rod has several liquid inlets, and the top of the detection rod passes through the liquid tank and is connected to the display.
[0015] A magnetic float is sleeved on the outside of the detection rod and slidably connected to the outer wall of the detection rod;
[0016] A magnetic slider is disposed inside the detection rod and slidably connected to the inner wall of the detection rod; and
[0017] A distance sensor is disposed inside the detection rod, with its output end facing the magnetic slider, and the distance sensor is electrically connected to the display.
[0018] In one optional embodiment, the linear wave-damping mechanism includes:
[0019] Several baffles are arranged along the width of the liquid tank, and the top of each baffle is connected to the top bearing of the inner wall of the liquid tank.
[0020] Several buffer components, the number corresponding to the baffle plate, are adapted to limit the deflection angle of the baffle plate when liquid impacts it in the tank.
[0021] In one alternative implementation, the buffer component includes:
[0022] A buffer sleeve, the top of which is connected to a bearing at the top of the inner wall of the liquid tank;
[0023] A buffer rod, the top of which is inserted into the buffer sleeve and slidably connected to the buffer sleeve, and the bottom of which is connected to the bearing on the outer wall of the corresponding anti-wave plate.
[0024] In one optional implementation, the lateral wave-damping mechanism includes:
[0025] A pair of arc-shaped plates symmetrically arranged along the width of the liquid tank; among which
[0026] Both ends of each of the aforementioned arc-shaped plates are connected to the inner wall of the liquid tank via connectors; and
[0027] The gap between each of the connecting parts is a flow gap.
[0028] Secondly, embodiments of this disclosure also provide a liquid level detection mechanism, comprising:
[0029] The detection rod is vertically installed inside the liquid tank; among which
[0030] The outer wall of the detection rod has several liquid inlets, and the top of the detection rod passes through the liquid tank and is connected to the display.
[0031] A magnetic float is sleeved on the outside of the detection rod and slidably connected to the outer wall of the detection rod;
[0032] A magnetic slider is disposed inside the detection rod and slidably connected to the inner wall of the detection rod; and
[0033] A distance sensor is disposed inside the detection rod, with its output end facing the magnetic slider, and the distance sensor is electrically connected to the display.
[0034] The beneficial effect of this utility model is that, by setting up a linear anti-wave mechanism, through several buffer components in the linear anti-wave mechanism, during the start-up and braking process of the tanker truck, when the oil impacts the anti-wave plate, the buffer rod and buffer sleeve corresponding to the anti-wave plate slide relative to each other. At this time, the anti-wave plate shifts to buffer the impact of the oil on the anti-wave plate. Through the shift of the anti-wave plate, the impact force of the oil is buffered, and the anti-wave plate is prevented from being damaged due to long-term full impact.

[0053] Research has found that when a tanker truck is moving, it experiences significant impacts in both its forward and vertical directions due to uneven road surfaces, bouncing, or sudden stops. When turning, the tanker is subjected to lateral impacts from liquid sloshing. To reduce these impacts, baffles are welded inside the tank. Currently, most tanker truck baffles are welded horizontally inside the tank, effectively mitigating impacts during braking. However, because the baffles are fixed, frequent starts and stops during driving cause the oil to continuously impact them, which can lead to loosening and damage over time.
[0054] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides a wave-damping device and a liquid level detection mechanism for oil tankers. By setting up a linear wave-damping mechanism, through several buffer components in the linear wave-damping mechanism, during the starting and braking process of the oil tanker, when the oil impacts the wave-damping plate, the buffer rod and buffer sleeve corresponding to the wave-damping plate slide relative to each other. At this time, the wave-damping plate shifts to buffer the impact of the oil on the wave-damping plate. Through the shift of the wave-damping plate, the impact force of the oil is buffered, and the wave-damping plate is prevented from being damaged due to long-term full impact.
[0055] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.
[0056] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0057] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the operator introduces the oil to be transported into the tank 1 through the inlet 10. As the amount of oil in the tank increases, the liquid level rises, causing the magnetic float 23 to move along the guide direction of the detection rod 21. The magnetic float 23 attracts the magnetic slider 22 and slides upward inside the detection rod 21. The distance sensor 200 detects the distance between the magnetic slider 22 and the distance sensor 200 and uploads the detection data to the display 20 for the operator to read, thereby providing feedback on the amount of oil filled into the tank 1. When the value displayed on the display 20 reaches the preset value, the operator stops filling the tank 1 with oil and closes the inlet 10 to complete the filling process.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, during the movement of the tanker truck carrying the liquid tank 1, when the tanker truck starts or brakes, the oil in the liquid tank 1 will slosh. At this time, the oil impacts the corresponding baffle 30. Each baffle 30 deflects around the bearing connection at the top of the inner wall of the liquid tank 1. Buffer components are provided on both sides of each baffle 30. When the oil impacts the baffle 30, the buffer rod 32 on the impacted side of the baffle 30 slides away from the corresponding buffer sleeve 31, pulling the corresponding baffle 30 to avoid... To prevent excessive deflection of the baffle plate 30, the corresponding buffer rods 32 and buffer sleeves 31 located on the back of the impact surface of the baffle plate 30 slide closer together to buffer the impact force of the oil on the current baffle plate 30. Air is provided between each buffer rod 32 and the corresponding buffer sleeve 31. After the impact of the oil on the baffle plate 30 ends, each buffer component resets. Therefore, the buffer components on both sides of the baffle plate 30 are used to buffer the impact force of the oil on the baffle plate 30, avoiding damage to the baffle plate 30 caused by long-term impact of the oil.
[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, when the tanker truck is turning, the oil in tank 1 flows in the opposite direction of the turn. Two arc-shaped plates 40 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of each baffle 30. When tank 1 follows the turn, the arc-shaped plates 40 block part of the oil. When the oil flows due to inertia, it is intercepted by the corresponding arc-shaped plates 40 and then flows back to its original position through the flow gap 410. This prevents the oil from flowing in the opposite direction of the turn of tank 1 at the same time, thus improving the stability of the tanker truck during the turn.
[0061] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0062] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence unless expressly indicated herein. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed above may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment.
[0063] Spatially relative terms, such as “inside,” “outside,” “below,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “up,” etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature illustrated in the figures and another element or feature. In addition to the orientations depicted in the figures, spatially relative terms may be intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as “below” or “below” other elements or features would be oriented as “above” other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.
[0064] In the above discussion, unless otherwise stated, when used to describe numerical values, the terms “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc., indicate a change of + / - 10% in that value.
[0065] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
