ABSTRACT:
Sludge disintegrating apparatus comprises, in accordance with a first embodiment (11), a floating roof (2) of a floating roof type oil storage tank (1) through which the pressurized liquid spurting devices (11) are axially disposed so as to be axially movable relative to the roof (2), rotatable about the axes of the devices (11), and bendable through an angle .beta. so as to provide the apparatus with three different mode movements. To effect the change in geometrical configuration of the devices (11) so as to attain their bent modes, each device (11) includes a rotary cylinder (12) and a liquid-spurting cylinder (14) which are operatively engaged with each other along inclined interfaces (21, 21'). A rotary rod (29) is connected to cylinder (14) so as to rotate the same relative to cylinder (12) so as to achieve the 90.degree. re-orientation of cylinder (14) relative to cylinder (12) as seen in phantom in FIG. 3. In accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a stationary cylinder (42), a rotary cylinder (43), an intermediate folding cylinder (44), and a spurting cylinder (45) having a spurting nozzle (46). An inner driving cylinder (62) is provided with upper (64) and lower (63) bevel gears, and a mating bevel gear (52) is fixed upon intermediate cylinder inclined face (51). Consequently, rotation of inner driving cylinder (62) by external bevel gear (67) rotates lower bevel gear (63) for rotating mating bevel gear (52) thereby rotating intermediate cylinder (44) relative to rotating cylinder (43) so as to be disposable at a maximum angle of 90.degree. relative thereto. Driving cylinder (62) is also driven from control box (41) so as to drive driven cylinder (69) through pin-groove connections (71,70) thereby rotating rotary cylinders (43), and rotary control rod (74) is likewise driven from control box (41) so as to rotate spurting cylinder (45) through a maximum angle of 90.degree. relative to intermediate cylinder (44) as a result of inclined mating interfaces (54, 55). The entire spurting device can then achieve a substantially U-shaped configuration as seen in FIG. 9.
