Description

[0002] At present, the storage of liquefied gas in my country mainly adopts tank storage, which is divided into traditional fully contained tanks and emerging membrane tanks according to the existing tank types. Fully contained tanks are welded with 9% nickel steel plates, while membrane tanks are welded with corrugated stainless steel plates; compared with fully contained tanks, membrane tanks use corrugated plate units to weld, so as to avoid weld stress, and the corrugations on the corrugated plates can better absorb and release energy when the tank is injected and output liquefied gas. In recent years, the domestic new energy vehicle industry has developed strongly, which is particularly important for the exploration and application of many new energy materials; liquid hydrogen, as a colorless, odorless, high-energy, low-temperature liquid fuel, is a liquid obtained by cooling hydrogen. In the low-temperature storage and transportation of liquid hydrogen, the most ideal storage carrier is also a membrane tank. The difficulty in the construction of membrane tanks lies in its complex design requirements, strict material standards, safety and reliability, environmental adaptability, regulatory compliance, and cost control. With the development of technology and the accumulation of experience, these challenges are gradually being overcome. Therefore, with the continuous development of the new energy industry, more new energy sources will be explored and discovered. In this process, membrane storage tanks will have greater application prospects in the storage and transportation of many liquefied gases in the future.

[0003] The corrugated plates that make up the membrane tank need to maintain good airtightness and anti-deformation ability. As the part that directly contacts the liquefied gas, the continuity and airtightness of the welding between the corrugated plates must be guaranteed, and the working conditions under specific environmental requirements must be met, that is, they must have high environmental adaptability; therefore, the structure, shape and forming quality of the corrugated plates are particularly important.

Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiment of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present application clear and concise, the present application omits detailed descriptions of known functions and known components.

[0050] The embodiment of the present application provides a corrugated plate 200 for assembling a liquefied gas tank. Figure 1-Figure 9 A schematic diagram of a corrugated plate 200 according to a preferred embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0051] First of all, it should be noted that the directional terms and position terms mentioned in this application are only exemplary descriptions and not restrictive descriptions. The position and orientation descriptions of the components should be understood as relative positions rather than absolute positions. Figure 1-Figure 9 The positions and directions of the components shown are understood; in the position description, the "lateral direction" is represented by D1, the "longitudinal direction" is represented by D2, and the "height direction" is represented by D3, and the three directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0052] First reference Figure 1 The corrugated plate 200 includes a corrugated plate body 20, transverse corrugations 30, longitudinal corrugations, reinforcing ribs and an intersection 60. The transverse corrugations 30 are formed on the corrugated plate body 20. The longitudinal corrugations include first longitudinal corrugations 40 and second longitudinal corrugations 50, which are both formed on the corrugated plate body 20 and are respectively located on opposite sides of the transverse corrugations 30. The reinforcing ribs are respectively formed on the transverse corrugations 30, the first longitudinal corrugations 40 and the second longitudinal corrugations 50. The intersection 60 is formed at the intersection of the transverse corrugations 30, the first longitudinal corrugations 40 and the second longitudinal corrugations 50.

[0053] It should be noted that, when describing the corrugated plate 200, the transverse direction D1 is represented as the extension direction of the transverse corrugation 30, the longitudinal direction D2 is represented as the direction perpendicular to the transverse direction D1 at the smooth top surface 61 of the intersection portion 60, and the height direction D3 is represented as the direction perpendicular to the smooth top surface 61 of the intersection portion 60. The intersection portion 60 is higher than the transverse corrugation 30, the first longitudinal corrugation 40 and the second longitudinal corrugation 50 in the height direction D3.

[0054] like Figure 7 The top view of the intersection portion 60 shown in the figure comprises a smooth top surface 61 and four draw ribs 62 extending from the smooth top surface 61 to the corrugated plate body 20, wherein each draw rib 62 extends from the smooth top surface 61 and smoothly transitions, and continues to extend in the transverse direction D1, the longitudinal direction D2 and the height direction D3, and smoothly intersects with the transverse corrugation 30, the first longitudinal corrugation 40, the second longitudinal corrugation 50 and the corrugated plate body 20, and in the process of the draw rib 62 extending from the smooth top surface 61 to the corrugated plate body 20, the cross-sectional size of the plane defined by the transverse direction D1 and the longitudinal direction D2 gradually increases.

[0055] In some embodiments, the corrugated board body 20 is mirror-symmetrical about a plane defined by the transverse direction D1 and the height direction D3 at the center line of the transverse corrugation 30 ridge at the top of the transverse corrugation 30, and the two symmetrical planes are not in the same plane, that is, the outer normals of the two symmetrical planes are at a certain angle. The outer sides of the two symmetrical planes are tilted upward at a certain angle, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 By designing the outer side of the corrugated plate body 20 to be tilted, when assembling into a liquefied gas storage tank, adjacent corrugated plates 200 can overlap each other to form a nearly circular tank body.

[0056] It can be understood that the portions of the corrugated plate body 20 located on opposite sides of the transverse corrugation 30 are gradually tilted from the transverse corrugation 30 to the direction away from the transverse corrugation 30, so that the first longitudinal corrugation 40 and the second longitudinal corrugation 50 are not on the same straight line, but there is a certain angle between them. The first longitudinal corrugation 40 and the second longitudinal corrugation 50 are mirror-symmetrical with respect to the transverse corrugation 30.

[0057] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the transverse corrugation 30 obtained by the plane defined by the longitudinal direction D2 and the height direction D3 is a circular arch. The cross-sectional shapes of the first longitudinal corrugation 40 and the second longitudinal corrugation 50 obtained by the plane defined by the transverse direction D1 and the height direction D3 are both circular arches; and / or, the arch width W1 of the transverse corrugation 30, the arch width W2 of the first longitudinal corrugation 40, and the arch width W3 of the second longitudinal corrugation 50 are equal, that is, W1=W2=W3, see Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 ; and / or, the height dimension H1 of the transverse corrugation 30, the height dimension H2 of the first longitudinal corrugation 40 and the height dimension H3 of the second longitudinal corrugation 50 are equal, that is, H1=H2=H3, see Figure 8 and Fig. 9 ; and / or, the arch width is twice the arch height; and / or, the arc radius of the transverse corrugation 30, the first longitudinal corrugation 40 and the second longitudinal corrugation 50 at their respective top ridges is equal, and the arc radius on both sides of their respective arch bottoms is equal, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the transverse corrugation 30, the first longitudinal corrugation 40 and the second longitudinal corrugation 50 are gradually contracted from bottom to top in the height direction D3. Such an arrangement can make the stress change and strain distribution change of the corrugated plate 200 in the optimal state.

[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the transverse corrugations 30 are provided with first reinforcing ribs 31 on the parts on both sides of the intersection 60, and the first reinforcing ribs 31 are formed by the top of the transverse corrugations 30 being partially depressed downward. The first longitudinal corrugations 40 are provided with second reinforcing ribs 41, and the second reinforcing ribs 41 are formed by the top of the first longitudinal corrugations 40 being partially depressed downward. The second longitudinal corrugations 50 are provided with third reinforcing ribs 51, and the third reinforcing ribs 51 are formed by the top of the second longitudinal corrugations 50 being partially depressed downward.

[0059] Further, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the radius of the fillet 311 of the first reinforcing rib 31, the fillet 411 of the second reinforcing rib 41, and the fillet 511 of the third reinforcing rib 51 are equal. The bottom surfaces of the first reinforcing rib 31, the second reinforcing rib 41, and the third reinforcing rib 51 are all arc surfaces, and the curvatures of the three are equal. The fillet radius of the first reinforcing rib 31, the second reinforcing rib 41, and the third reinforcing rib 51 are the same. On the basis of ensuring the consistency of the external dimensions of the four reinforcing ribs, and in the forming process of the corrugated plate 200, the forming of the reinforcing ribs will not have a significant impact on the flow of the surrounding sheet material.

[0060] In some embodiments, the vertical distance from the forming axis of the first reinforcing rib 31 formed on the transverse corrugation 30 to the plane where the smooth top surface 61 is located, the vertical distance from the forming axis of the second reinforcing rib 41 formed on the first longitudinal corrugation 40 to the plane where the smooth top surface 61 is located, and the vertical distance from the forming axis of the third reinforcing rib 51 formed on the second longitudinal corrugation 50 to the plane where the smooth top surface 61 is located are all equal and are constant values, such as 150 mm. The forming axes of the two first reinforcing ribs 31 formed on the transverse corrugation 30 are in the first horizontal plane and parallel to the smooth top surface 61, the forming axes of the second reinforcing rib 41 formed on the first longitudinal corrugation 40 and the forming axes of the third reinforcing rib 51 formed on the second longitudinal corrugation 50 are in the second horizontal plane and parallel to the smooth top surface 61, and the first horizontal plane and the second horizontal plane are not coplanar. Among them, the so-called forming axis refers to the axis of the circle where the bottom arc of the reinforcing rib is located. On the basis of ensuring that the vertical distances from the axes of the bottom arcs of the four reinforcing ribs to the smooth top surface 61 are equal, the reinforcing ribs formed on the corrugations form the same stiffness constraints on the corrugations; at the same time, it is more beneficial to ensure the stability of the shape of the middle intersection part 60 after forming.

[0061] The embodiment of the present application improves the rigidity and strength of the corrugations on the corrugated plate 200 after forming by providing four reinforcing ribs on the transverse and longitudinal corrugations, thereby increasing the surface area of ​​the tank body as a whole for absorbing and releasing energy after assembly; and when injecting liquefied gas into and out of the tank body, the four reinforcing ribs further enhance the energy buffering effect of the corrugated plate 200; at the same time, the four reinforcing ribs formed on the transverse and longitudinal corrugations change the original cross-sectional shape of the corrugations, increase the cross-sectional area of ​​the sheet material and the local thickness, and thereby improve the bearing capacity of the corrugated plate 200, that is, under the same external force, reduce the stress value borne by the corrugations; while strengthening the rigidity and strength of the corrugations on the corrugated plate 200, the four reinforcing ribs further restrict the deformation of the intersection portion 60, that is, the intersection portion 60 is more stable and less prone to deformation after forming. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lateral dimension W3 of the smooth top surface 61 is equal to the longitudinal dimension W4. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the smooth top surface 61 has four contour lines 68 defining the top surface, each of the four contour lines 68 is concave toward the center of the smooth top surface 61 at its center position, and the concave curvature radius of the four contour lines 68 is the same. Figure 7The minimum transverse dimension W5 of the smooth top surface 61 is equal to the minimum longitudinal dimension W6. In this way, the overall shape is fuller and more beautiful; at the same time, it is beneficial to the stability of the shape of the intersection 60 in the middle; and, the smooth top surface 61 is a square, so the constraint of the smooth top surface 61 on the surrounding sheet materials is more uniform, so that the stress distribution of the middle intersection 60 of the corrugated plate 200 is more uniform.

[0062] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the projection of the smooth top surface 61 of the intersection portion 60 in the projection plane defined by the transverse direction D1 and the height direction D3 is a straight line 63; the projection in the projection plane defined by the longitudinal direction D2 and the height direction D3 is a straight line 64, and the lengths of the two straight lines are the transverse dimension W3 and the longitudinal dimension W4 of the smooth top surface 61. Ensure that the smooth top surface 61 of the middle intersection portion 60 is a horizontal plane, and then ensure that the horizontal plane is parallel to the plane constrained by the forming axis of the arc surface at the bottom of each reinforcing rib.

[0063] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the first side surface 65 connected with the smooth top surface 61 and the transverse corrugation 30 is perpendicular to the projection surface defined by the transverse direction D1 and the longitudinal direction D2; the second side surface 66 connected with the smooth top surface 61 and the first longitudinal corrugation 40 and the second longitudinal corrugation 50 is also perpendicular to the projection surface defined by the transverse direction D1 and the longitudinal direction D2. The stability of the intersection part 60 in the middle during the forming process and the stability of the shape of the intersection part 60 after forming are ensured.

[0064] Optionally, the first side surface 65 and the second side surface 66 may also be concave in a macroscopic manner, and the curvature radii of the two surfaces are equal.

[0065] The transition fillet radius at the intersection of the smooth top surface 61 of the intersection portion 60 and the first side surface 65 and the second side surface 66, the transition fillet radius of the four draw ribs 62 of the intersection portion 60 and the transverse corrugation 30, the first longitudinal corrugation 40 and the second longitudinal corrugation 50, and the transition fillet radius at the intersection of the four draw ribs 62 of the intersection portion 60 and the corrugated plate body 20 are all equal. Therefore, from a macroscopic point of view, the intersection portion 60 has smooth transitions at each curved surface at the intersection, and the overall appearance is smooth and fluent, which largely ensures the surface quality of the component.

[0066] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the intersection part 60 of the corrugated plate 200 has a "Ji" shape in the first cross-section 610 at the center of the intersection part 60 in the plane defined by the transverse direction D1 and the height direction D3, and the intersection part 60 has a "Ji" shape in the second cross-section 611 at the center of the intersection part 60 in the plane defined by the longitudinal direction D2 and the height direction D3. Under actual and defined working conditions, it is more conducive to the absorption and release of energy, thus ensuring the service performance stability of the corrugated plate 200 under defined working conditions; at the same time, restricting the corrugated plate 200 from being easily deformed (especially the middle intersection part 60).

[0067] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the intersection part 60 is symmetric about the plane at the center of the intersection part 60 defined by the longitudinal direction D2 and the height direction D3, and is symmetric about the plane defined by the transverse direction D1 and the height direction D3; and / or, the two first reinforcing ribs 31 formed on the transverse corrugation 30 are symmetric about the plane at the center of the intersection part 60 defined by the longitudinal direction D2 and the height direction D3; and / or, the second reinforcing rib 41 formed on the first longitudinal corrugation 40 and the third reinforcing rib 51 formed on the second longitudinal corrugation 50 are symmetric about the plane defined by the transverse direction D1 and the height direction D3.

[0068] From Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 it can be seen that there are two first reinforcing ribs 31 provided on the transverse corrugation 30, and the two first reinforcing ribs 31 are respectively located on both sides of the intersection part 60 and are arranged close to the intersection part 60; one second reinforcing rib 41 is provided on the first longitudinal corrugation 40, one third reinforcing rib 51 is provided on the second longitudinal corrugation 50, and both the second reinforcing rib 41 and the third reinforcing rib 51 are also arranged close to the intersection part 60.

[0069] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the main body part of each draw bead 62 of the intersection part 60 extends along the direction intersecting with the first longitudinal corrugation 40, the second longitudinal corrugation 50, and the transverse corrugation 30, and has a smooth transition; each draw bead 62 intersects with the main body 20 of the corrugated plate and extends along a plane, and has a smooth transition.

[0070] As Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the curvature radius of the projection curves at the ridges 67 of the four draw ribs 62 of the intersection 60 (projections on the plane formed by the center lines of the diagonal ridges) is equal. At the same time, the fillet radius at the ridges 67 of the four draw ribs 62 of the intersection 60 is a constant and equal value (for example, the fillet radius is 15 to 20 mm). When observed in the plane defined by the transverse direction D1 and the longitudinal direction D2 (looking down), the angle between the center lines of the ridges of two adjacent draw ribs 62 is about 60°.

[0071] With reference to the above embodiments, it can be seen that the overall appearance of the corrugated plate 200 of the embodiment of the present application is smooth and fluent, and the corrugations formed on the corrugated plate 200 and the intersection 60 of the corrugations fully ensure the absorption and release of energy of the component in the application environment;

[0072] At the same time, the corrugations formed on the corrugated plate 200 and the intersection 60 of the corrugations are specific and special positions on the corrugated plate 200, and have a sharp material deformation, which fully guarantees the overall strength and stability of the corrugated plate 200 to a certain extent, and can also show good elasticity, contraction ability and tension;

[0073] At the same time, the reinforcing ribs formed on the corrugations increase the surface area of ​​the corrugated plate 200 in contact with the liquefied gas, and also increase the local cross-sectional area of ​​the corrugations, thereby further enhancing the strength and rigidity of the corrugations and the corrugated plate 200;

[0074] On this basis, the shape and performance stability of the corrugated plate 200 after forming are further ensured.

[0075] The embodiment of the present application also provides a liquefied gas storage tank, which includes the corrugated plate 200 in any of the above embodiments. The corrugated plate 200 and other parts are used together to assemble a tank body for storing liquefied gas.

[0076] Liquefied gas storage tanks can be used to store, for example, liquid hydrogen, liquefied natural gas, etc.

[0077] The above description is intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art may make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure. Moreover, the above examples (or one or more of them) may be used in combination with each other, and it is contemplated that these embodiments may be combined with each other in various combinations or permutations.
