Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chemical equipment, and in particular to an outdoor storage tank. Background Art

[0002] Chemical storage tanks are commonly used equipment in chemical enterprises, and many chemical enterprises' storage tanks are installed outdoors. At present, storage tanks are mainly made of welded steel plates. In order to prevent the storage tanks from rusting, most of the current practices are to apply a layer of anti-rust paint on the outer surface of the storage tanks. However, after long-term use, the anti-rust paint will fall off due to wind and rain. If the storage tanks are not maintained in time, they will rust and corrode. Especially in some areas with strong winds and sand, the anti-rust paint will fall off quickly, which brings safety hazards to the production of enterprises.

[0003] In response to such a situation, Patent 201520940090.2 discloses a vacuum explosion-proof chemical storage tank, comprising an outer tank body with a spherical structure and an inner tank body arranged in the inner cavity of the outer tank body, a plurality of support columns are fixedly arranged between the inner wall of the outer tank body and the outer wall of the inner tank body, and a vacuum cavity is formed between the outer tank body and the inner tank body; an explosion-proof layer and a one-way valve are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the outer tank body, a vacuum pump is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the outer tank body, and the one-way valve and the vacuum pump are connected to each other through an exhaust pipe; an elastic bladder, a feed port and a discharge port are arranged on the inner wall of the inner tank body; a plurality of folds are formed on the unexpanded part of the elastic bladder; the feed port and the discharge port are respectively connected to each other through the outer tank body, the explosion-proof layer, the inner tank body and the elastic bladder and the inner cavity of the inner tank body in sequence. The beneficial effects of the modified invention are as follows: a vacuum explosion-proof chemical storage tank, the main body of which is composed of an inner tank body and an outer tank body, a plurality of support columns are arranged in the cavity between the inner tank body and the outer tank body and is evacuated by a vacuum pump, an explosion-proof layer made of Kevlar fiber is arranged on the inner wall of the outer tank body, an elastic capsule is arranged in the inner tank body, once the inner tank body is broken, the folds on the elastic capsule unfold and continue to wrap the inner medium, the vacuum cavity between the inner and outer tank bodies forms a buffer for the pressure of the inner tank body, the explosion-proof layer can prevent the inner tank body fragments from smashing the outer tank body, and when the outer tank body is damaged, the inner tank body is still intact and no leakage occurs; the structure is reasonable, and has the advantages of simple structure, easy use, safety and reliability, etc., and effectively solves the problem of leakage caused by damaged chemical storage tanks.

[0004] Theoretically, the above patent is feasible, but its manufacturing process is too complicated and the cost is too high, which makes it difficult for many companies to accept it; and the outer tank body of this patent still has the safety hazard of rust and corrosion.
