Полезная модель относится к устройствам для размыва донных отложений, образующихся на дне вертикальных резервуаров с нефтью или нефтепродуктами, и для перемешивания нефти (нефтепродуктов) с целью предотвращения образования отложений. Технический результат, достигаемый при реализации полезной модели, заключается в повышении надежности устройства для размыва донных отложений в резервуарах с нефтью. Устройство для размыва донных отложений в резервуаре с нефтью включает корпус с подшипниковыми опорами и уплотнениями, фланец для монтажа устройства к стенке резервуара, вал, один конец которого соединен посредством плоскозубчатой ременной передачи с электродвигателем, а на другом конце вала закреплен гребной винт. В отличие от прототипа, для углового поворота корпуса применен привод, состоящий из мотор-редуктора, выходной вал которого соединен с кривошипом, связанный с шатуном. Шатун с помощью оси шатуна имеет подвижное соединение с корпусом. Корпус с подшипниковыми опорами и уплотнениями может свободно поворачиваться на неподвижных осях фланца. Полезная модель, сохраняя основные характеристики прототипа, является более надежной, ремонтопригодной, дешевой и лучше приспособленной к регулировке положения затопленной струи. 4 з.п. ф-лы, 2 ил.

Автор: Роман Андреевич Полосин
Принадлежит: Роман Андреевич Полосин

Полезная модель относится к средствам очистки стенок ёмкостей от нефтепродуктов и имеющихся при этом загрязнений, и может быть использована, в частности, для очистки вагонов-цистерн от застывших тёмных нефтепродуктов.Технический результат от использования предложенного технического решения может быть выражен в повышении эффективности очистки ёмкостей от остатков нефтепродуктов:- за счёт увеличения площади охвата омываемой поверхности (в т.ч. отсутствия или сведения к минимуму непромытых «мёртвых» зон);- за счёт минимизации топливно-энергетических ресурсов (ТЭР) на достижение результата;- за счёт снижения времени воздействия;- за счёт снижения количества установок моечного оборудования;- за счёт эргономичности (продуманности/ удобства в пользовании), минимизирующем максимальные потребные усилия оператора, количество совершаемых операций, лёгкость контроля при их совершении;- за счет возможности подачи моющего средства под высоким давлением, порядка 100 бар.Заявленный технический результат достигается следующим образом.Универсальная моечная установка для очистки цистерн от отложений нефтепродуктов содержит опорный диск раздвижные штанги с установленными на них моющими головками. При этом точка раздвижения штанг максимально приближена к опорному люку, в то же время, не допуская с ним контакта. Свободные концы раздвижных штанг могут быть оснащены телескопическими или съёмными удлинителями. При этом универсальная моечная установка оснащена паровым каналом с одним или несколькими паровыми соплами. Также опорный диск может быть оснащён средствами для подачи воздуха (подачи и откачки газо-воздушной среды для сушки и дегазации).Также опорный диск может быть оснащён клапаном для заливки горячей воды под низким давлением (для разогрева сверхнормативного остатка тёмных нефтепродуктов в холодное время года).
