[0005]基于此,本实用新型的目的是提供一种大型化学罐内部清理设备,以解决设备在对目标区域进行清理时设备的稳定性较差易发生移动的技术问题
[0027] 1. This utility model is equipped with an electric push rod, a movable ring, a sliding plate, a movable rod, a rotating plate, a contact plate, and an anti-slip pad. When it is necessary to stop the equipment in a certain position inside the tank, the electric push rod can be activated. The operation of the electric push rod drives the movable ring to move, which in turn pushes the rotating plate to rotate. The rotating plate then pushes the sliding plate to move, thereby causing the contact plate and the anti-slip pad to move towards the inner wall of the tank. When the anti-slip pad is in close contact with the inner wall of the tank, the electric push rod can be turned off. At this time, the contact between the anti-slip pad and the inner wall of the tank can improve the stability of the equipment and prevent the equipment from moving randomly, which would affect the sandblasting treatment of the target, thereby improving the sandblasting cleaning effect on the inner wall of the tank.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical tanks, specifically a cleaning device for the interior of large chemical tanks. Background Technology
[0002] Chemical tanks are containers or container systems used for storing, processing, or reacting various chemical substances. They are not simply "large tanks," but industrial equipment with strict design and manufacturing standards based on their intended use. After prolonged use, the old coating on the inner wall of the tank will age and peel off, and oxide scale and rust will form on the metal surface. These substances have weak adhesion to the metal substrate. If a new coating is applied directly on top, the new coating will actually adhere to these "loose layers," just like applying new tiles directly to a loose wall, which will quickly fall off in one piece. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the tank before re-coating. Cleaning the inner wall of the tank requires the use of sandblasting equipment. The sandblasting equipment sprays abrasive into the inner wall of the tank to remove the old coating, rust, oxide scale, oil stains, etc., exposing the "natural color" of the metal, which is convenient for subsequent coating application.
[0003] The internal cleaning of large chemical tanks involves several steps. First, preliminary cleaning and pretreatment are performed (using a high-pressure water jet generated by a high-pressure water pump to impact the tank wall, removing loose dirt, residual liquid, and some solid deposits). Next is surface treatment: after the preliminary cleaning, in order to achieve the standard of exposing the metal substrate and forming a certain surface roughness (anchor pattern depth) to facilitate the adhesion of new coatings, the inner wall of the tank needs to be sandblasted. That is, an air compressor provides high-pressure air, and the abrasive (such as copper ore sand, steel shot, quartz sand, brown corundum, etc.) is mixed with air through a sandblasting can (pressure tank), delivered to the spray gun through a sandblasting hose, and then sprayed out through the nozzle to blast the tank wall.
[0004] Most existing chemical tank cleaning equipment relies on simple support structures (such as fixed rollers and brackets) to contact the inner wall of the tank. When the sandblasting mechanism sprays high-pressure abrasive, the resulting sandblasting reaction force acts directly on the entire equipment. The fixed support structure cannot provide sufficient reverse restraint force, causing the equipment to easily slide or deviate along the inner wall of the tank. This causes the sandblasting nozzle to deviate from the preset cleaning area, resulting in over-cleaning of some areas and uncleaning of others. This seriously affects the cleaning accuracy and requires subsequent manual cleaning, increasing operation time and costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning device for the interior of a large chemical tank, so as to solve the technical problem that the device is unstable and prone to movement when cleaning the target area.

[0008] Furthermore, four support seats are fixed to the outer wall of the housing, and a protective cover is installed on the outer surface of two support seats. A second motor is installed inside the protective cover, and rollers are provided on the output ends of the two second motors and the other two support seats.

[0012] Furthermore, a side plate is fixed to one side of the sealing plate, a material conveying pipe is installed at the bottom of the side plate, and a rotary joint is installed between one end of the material conveying pipe and the other end of the material distributing pipe.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotary joint allows the distribution pipe to rotate while the conveying pipe remains fixed, facilitating material conveying.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the abrasive can enter the inside of the feed pipe through the feed hose.
[0016] Furthermore, the movable ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the housing, and the movable ring is slidably connected to the housing.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable ring can slide on the housing, thereby adjusting the position of the movable ring.
[0018] Furthermore, the shell is located inside the tank, the roller contacts the inner wall of the tank, and the anti-slip pad is made of silicone rubber.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the shell can be moved inside the tank.
[0020] Furthermore, the driving gear meshes with the driven gear.

[0027] 1. This utility model is equipped with an electric push rod, a movable ring, a sliding plate, a movable rod, a rotating plate, a contact plate, and an anti-slip pad. When it is necessary to stop the equipment in a certain position inside the tank, the electric push rod can be activated. The operation of the electric push rod drives the movable ring to move, which in turn pushes the rotating plate to rotate. The rotating plate then pushes the sliding plate to move, thereby causing the contact plate and the anti-slip pad to move towards the inner wall of the tank. When the anti-slip pad is in close contact with the inner wall of the tank, the electric push rod can be turned off. At this time, the contact between the anti-slip pad and the inner wall of the tank can improve the stability of the equipment and prevent the equipment from moving randomly, which would affect the sandblasting treatment of the target, thereby improving the sandblasting cleaning effect on the inner wall of the tank.
[0028] 2. This utility model has a sliding rod that can guide the sliding plate, thereby improving the stability of the sliding plate when it moves. The anti-slip pad can prevent the contact plate from directly contacting the inner wall of the tank, thus improving the protection effect on the inner wall of the tank.
[0029] 3. This utility model is equipped with a first motor, a driving gear, a driven gear, a rotary joint, and a distribution pipe. When it is necessary to perform all-round sandblasting treatment on the inner wall of the tank, the first motor can be started. The operation of the first motor can drive the driving gear to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear to rotate, and then drives the distribution pipe to rotate, so that the spray pipe and nozzle can rotate continuously, so as to perform all-round sandblasting treatment on the inner wall of the tank and improve the cleaning effect on the inner wall of the tank.

The sealing ring 15 is made of silicone rubber.
[0048] Example 3:
[0049] Based on the above embodiment one, the following structure will be set up to facilitate material feeding.
[0050] Specifically, a feed hose 12 is installed at one end of the feed pipe 11 via a flange. The feed hose 12 is connected to an external feeding device, and the abrasive can enter the feed pipe 11 through the feed hose 12, thus facilitating the feeding process.
[0051] Example 4:
[0052] Based on the above embodiment 1, in order to prevent the contact plate 25 from directly adhering to the inner wall of the tank 27, the following structure will be provided.
[0053] Specifically, the anti-slip mat 26 is made of silicone rubber and is arc-shaped to prevent the contact plate 25 from directly contacting the inner wall of the tank 27, while improving the stability of the fit with the inner wall of the tank 27.
[0054] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the operator places the equipment inside the tank 27 to be cleaned and starts the second motor 17 through the external control panel. The second motor drives the roller 4 connected to it to rotate. The roller 4 rolls along the inner wall of the tank 27, moving the entire equipment to the target cleaning area. After reaching the target area, the electric push rod 19 is started. The electric push rod 19 pushes the movable ring 20 to slide along the outer wall of the shell 1 through the piston rod. During the movement of the movable ring 20, it drives the rotating plate 24 connected to it by the pin to rotate. The rotating plate pushes the sliding plate 22 to slide along the sliding rod 21 towards the inner wall of the tank 27. The sliding plate 22 drives the movable rod 23 and the contact plate 25 to move synchronously until the anti-slip pad 26 on the contact plate 25 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the tank 27. Then the electric push rod 19 is turned off, and the equipment achieves stable positioning.
[0055] After positioning is completed, the external feeding equipment delivers abrasive and high-pressure air to the conveying pipe 11 through the feeding hose 12; the abrasive enters the distribution pipe 2 through the conveying pipe 11 and the rotary joint 13, and the distribution pipe distributes the abrasive to multiple spray pipes 5, and finally sprays it out from the nozzle 6; at the same time, the first motor 9 is started, the first motor drives the drive gear 8 to rotate, the drive gear 8 drives the driven gear 7 meshing with it to rotate, the driven gear 7 drives the distribution pipe 2 to rotate, and the distribution pipe 2 drives the spray pipes 5 and the nozzle 6 to rotate synchronously, so as to achieve 360° all-round sandblasting cleaning of the inner wall of the tank 27, and remove old coatings, rust, oxide scale and other dirt;
[0056] After cleaning a single area, reverse the electric push rod 19 to disengage the anti-slip pad 26 from the inner wall of the tank 27, then start the second motor 17 again to move the equipment to the next cleaning area. Repeat the above positioning and sandblasting steps until the inner wall of the tank 27 is completely cleaned.
