Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of storage and transportation of petrochemical products, and in particular to a safety ventilation device for an internal floating roof storage tank. Background Art
[0002] The tank top vent is set on the top edge of the internal floating roof tank for storing light oil products without sealing requirements or volatile chemical products. It is a safe ventilation device used to disperse the oil vapor in the tank and prevent the oil vapor in the tank from reaching the explosion limit. The traditional tank top vent is a bow-shaped structure, one end of which is welded to the tank top opening, and the other end opens downward and is welded with a bird-proof wire mesh; Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the light-transmitting hole of the traditional storage tank is set on the top of the tank, which is generally a round hole with a diameter of 500-600mm, sealed with a flange and a flange cover. When lighting is required, all bolts, nuts and fasteners need to be removed and the flange cover needs to be opened to achieve lighting. In order to achieve the above two functions, multiple openings need to be set on the top of the storage tank respectively; and a large number of fasteners need to be disassembled and installed when the light-transmitting hole is opened and closed, which is inconvenient to operate. Summary of the invention

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution of the present invention includes the following contents: a ventilation and light-transmitting dual-purpose device for a vertical cylindrical internal floating roof storage tank, characterized in that the ventilation and light-transmitting dual-purpose device is arranged at the edge of the outer tank top of the vertical cylindrical internal floating roof storage tank, a rectangular opening is opened in the tank top plate, the opening is reinforced by a tank top reinforcement ring, and a whole circle of water retaining frame is connected to the edge of the opening, and a semi-cylindrical escutcheon is installed on the upper part of the opening; one side of the semi-cylindrical escutcheon is connected to the tank top reinforcement ring through a connecting hinge, and when the semi-cylindrical escutcheon is closed, the rectangular hole surrounded by the tank top plate is blocked by a bird-proof net, and the bird-proof net is connected to the semi-cylindrical escutcheon; a locking device is installed between the semi-cylindrical escutcheon and the tank top reinforcement ring, and a handle is installed on the upper part of the semi-cylindrical escutcheon.
[0005] When the ventilation and light-transmitting dual-purpose device is used as a vent under operating conditions, the locking device is locked, the semi-cylindrical escutcheon is in a closed state, and the oil and gas in the storage tank diffuses into the atmosphere through the opening of the tank top plate, the holes of the semi-cylindrical escutcheon, and the bird-proof net in sequence, preventing the oil and gas in the storage tank from reaching the explosion limit.
[0006] When installing and inspecting the ventilation and light-transmitting dual-purpose device, the locking device is opened, and the semi-cylindrical hole cover is pulled up by the handle to be opened by rotating the connecting hinge, so that the upper part of the tank top opening is not blocked, and light enters the storage tank through the opening to realize lighting.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the ventilation and light transmission device for the vertical cylindrical internal floating roof storage tank described in the present invention includes a semi-cylindrical hole cover 1, a handle 2, a bird-proof net 3, a connecting hinge 4, a water-retaining frame 5, a locking device 6, and a tank top reinforcement ring 7.
[0020] The ventilation and light transmission dual-purpose device is arranged at the edge of the outer tank top of a vertical cylindrical internal floating roof storage tank. A rectangular opening 8 is provided on the tank top plate, and the opening is reinforced by a tank top reinforcement ring 7, and a whole circle of water retaining frame 5 is connected to the edge of the opening, and a semi-cylindrical escutcheon 1 is installed on the upper part of the opening; one side of the semi-cylindrical escutcheon 1 is connected to the tank top reinforcement ring 7 through a connecting hinge 4, and when the semi-cylindrical escutcheon 1 is closed, the rectangular hole surrounded by the tank top plate is blocked by a bird-proof net 3, and the bird-proof net 3 is connected to the semi-cylindrical escutcheon 1; a locking device 6 is installed between the semi-cylindrical escutcheon 1 and the tank top reinforcement ring 7, and a handle 2 is installed on the upper part of the semi-cylindrical escutcheon 1.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, when the ventilation and light-transmitting dual-purpose device is used as a vent in operating conditions, the locking device 6 is locked, the semi-cylindrical escutcheon 1 is in a closed state, and the oil and gas in the storage tank are diffused into the atmosphere through the opening of the tank top plate, the channel of the semi-cylindrical escutcheon 1, and the bird-proof net 3 in sequence, preventing the oil and gas in the storage tank from reaching the explosion limit.
