Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage tank technology, and in particular to a storage tank that is easy to access. Background Technology
[0002] Storage tanks are closed containers used to store liquids or gases. They are widely used in many fields such as chemical, petroleum, food, and medicine. They are made of various materials, including metals and non-metals, and have various structural forms such as cylindrical, spherical, and non-circular cross-sections. Cylindrical storage tanks are the most common due to their ease of manufacture, while spherical storage tanks are suitable for high-pressure or large-capacity scenarios.
[0003] Currently, traditional storage tanks mostly use a discharge port at the bottom for discharging and retrieving materials. In actual application, the material may not be completely discharged, which increases the workload of operators. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a storage tank that facilitates material handling.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A storage tank for easy material handling includes a storage tank, a mounting frame installed at the bottom of the storage tank, a rotating shaft provided at both ends of the mounting frame, the rotating shaft being rotatably connected to a support frame through bearing components, the rotating shaft extending outside the support frame and being equipped with an operating rod, a locking piece provided at the bottom of the operating rod, the locking piece being connected to a locking mechanism in its natural state to achieve a limit position; Multiple locking mechanisms are installed on one side of the support frame. Each locking mechanism includes a movable block, which is slidably installed in a limiting groove on the outside of the support frame. The movable block and the limiting groove are connected by a spring. A rotating column is rotatably installed on one side of the movable block. When the locking plate is connected to the locking mechanism, the rotating column engages with the locking groove in the middle of the locking plate.
[0006] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, a storage tank is mounted on the middle of the mounting frame via a pivot.
[0007] Furthermore, a preferred structure is that the inner bottom of the storage tank is sloping, and a discharge port is provided at the bottommost side of the sloping bottom.
[0008] In addition, a preferred structure is that the top and bottom walls of the limiting groove are provided with sliding grooves, and a movable block is slidably installed in the sliding groove.
[0009] Furthermore, a preferred configuration is that the spring deforms when the moving block moves horizontally.
[0010] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, an extension rod is mounted on one side of the rotating column.
[0011] In addition, a preferred structure is that a locking groove is provided in the middle of one side of the locking piece, and arc-shaped walls are provided on both sides away from the locking groove.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this invention, the storage tank is equipped with an inclined bottom to facilitate the inclined discharge of materials. At the same time, the storage tank can be tilted by pulling the operating rod. After the storage tank is tilted to a certain angle, a locking mechanism automatically engages and locks the operating rod, thereby locking the tilted storage tank so that the materials inside can be discharged at an inclined angle, effectively improving the material handling efficiency.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0016] Reference Figure 1-6 A storage tank for easy material handling includes a storage tank 1, a mounting frame 13 installed at the bottom of the storage tank 1, and rotating shafts 14 provided at both ends of the mounting frame 13. The rotating shafts 14 are rotatably connected to the support frame 2 through bearing components. The rotating shafts 14 extend outside the support frame 2 and are equipped with an operating rod 3. A locking piece 4 is provided at the bottom of the operating rod 3. The locking piece 4 is connected to the locking mechanism in the natural state to achieve limit positioning. Multiple locking mechanisms are installed on one side of the support frame 2. The locking mechanism includes a moving block 55. The moving block 55 is slidably installed in a limiting groove 53 opened on the outside of the support frame 2. The moving block 55 and the limiting groove 53 are connected by a spring 52. A rotating column 5 is rotatably installed on one side of the moving block 55. When the locking plate 4 is connected to the locking mechanism, the rotating column 5 docks with the locking groove 41 opened in the middle of the locking plate 4.
[0017] The storage tank 1 is mounted on the middle part of the mounting frame 13 via a rotating shaft 14, and the storage tank 1 rotates via the rotating shaft 14.
[0018] The bottom of the storage tank 1 is set as an inclined bottom 12, and a discharge port 11 is opened at the bottommost side of the inclined bottom 12. The inclined bottom 12 effectively guides the material to flow to the inclined bottom side and discharges it through the discharge port 11. A valve is installed at the discharge port 11 to control the flow of materials. The specific valve is purchased and used directly from the market by the operator, and will not be explained further.
[0019] The top and bottom walls of the limiting groove 53 are provided with sliding grooves 54. A moving block 55 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 54. The top and bottom of the moving block 55 are provided with protrusions that fit with the sliding groove 52 so as to slide in the sliding groove 54.
[0020] When the moving block 55 moves horizontally, the spring 52 deforms.
[0021] An extension rod 51 is installed on one side of the rotating column 5. The extension rod 51 is easy for the operator to grip so as to move the rotating column 5.
[0022] A locking groove 41 is provided in the middle of one side of the locking plate 4, and arc-shaped walls 42 are provided on both sides away from the locking groove 41. When the arc-shaped walls 42 come into contact with the rotating column 5, the rotating column 5 is driven to move by the inclined surface.
[0023] In this embodiment, during the material removal process of storage tank 1, the internal material is released by opening the discharge port 11. When the discharge port 11 stops discharging, that is, when most of the material inside storage tank 1 has been discharged, two operators stand on both sides of storage tank 1 and hold the operating rod 3. At the same time, the operator standing on the side of the locking plate 4 presses down the extension rod 51 to drive the rotating column 5 to disengage from the locking groove 41 opened at the bottom of the locking plate 4. Then, the operators rotate the operating rod 3 together to tilt storage tank 1. When the locking plate 4 rotates to the corresponding position with the operating rod 3, the locking plate 4 docks with another rotating column 5. The rotating column 5 is locked into the locking groove 41 to complete the engagement. At this time, the rotation of storage tank 1 is restricted, and storage tank 1 discharges material at an inclined angle.
[0024] During the rotation of the locking piece 4, the locking piece 4 presses against the outer wall of the rotating column 5, and under the guidance of the inclined surface of the arc wall 42, the rotating column 5 is displaced by force until the locking piece 4 rotates completely, and the rotating column 5 is pushed into the locking groove 41 by the spring 52. Conversely, by pulling the extension rod 51 outward, the rotating column 5 and the moving block 55 can be moved, causing the rotating column 5 to disengage from the locking groove 41.
[0025] A locking mechanism is provided directly below the operating lever 3 to lock the storage tank 1 in its natural vertical state. Meanwhile, another locking mechanism is located diagonally below the operating lever 3 to lock the tank 1 after tilting it at an angle.
[0026] The locking mechanism includes a moving block 55, a rotating column 5, a limiting groove 53, a sliding groove 54, and a moving block 55.
[0027] It is worth noting that the storage tank 1 is made of non-metallic material, which makes it relatively light after the material is emptied. The storage tank 1 can be tilted at a certain angle by the operating lever 3.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
