[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a tank container, including a tank body 10, a mounting frame 20, a mounting ring assembly 30 and a heat insulation layer. The tank body 10 is located inside the mounting frame 20; the mounting ring assembly 30 is arranged between the tank body 10 and the mounting frame 20, and the mounting ring assembly 30 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the tank body 10; and the heat insulation layer is arranged between the mounting ring assembly 30 and the tank body 10.

[0029] In this embodiment, since a heat insulation layer is provided between the mounting ring assembly 30 and the tank body 10, direct contact between the mounting ring assembly 30 and the tank body 10 is avoided, thereby cutting off heat conduction between the mounting ring assembly 30 and the tank body 10, preventing the heat of the tank body 10 from being transferred to the mounting ring assembly 30 and the mounting frame 20, thereby reducing the heat loss of the tank body 10.

[0030] The tank container in the prior art usually adopts the following structure: the tank body is connected to the installation frame through the support beam, and the support beam bears the vertical, longitudinal and transverse loads to meet the requirements of transportation conditions. Since the support beam is welded to the installation frame and the support beam is welded to the tank body, the temperature of the medium in the tank body is directly transferred to the installation frame through the support beam, resulting in serious heat loss.

[0031] The technical solution of this embodiment isolates the mounting ring assembly 30 and the tank body 10 by providing a heat insulation layer between the mounting ring assembly 30 and the tank body 10, so that there is no direct contact between the mounting ring assembly 30 and the tank body 10. Since the heat insulation effect of the heat insulation layer is good, the tank body 10 is in direct contact with the heat insulation layer, which blocks the transfer of heat, reduces heat loss, avoids secondary heating of the tank body after short-distance transportation in the tank container, and reduces the cost loss of secondary heating.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting ring assembly 30 includes a mounting ring body 31 and a first heat insulating member 32. The mounting ring body 31 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the tank body 10, the outer wall surface of the mounting ring body 31 is connected to the mounting frame 20, the mounting ring body 31 has a mounting groove, and the opening of the mounting groove is arranged toward the tank body 10; the first heat insulating member 32 is arranged in the mounting groove, and the first heat insulating member 32 has a mounting surface adapted to the outer periphery of the tank body 10.

[0033] Specifically, the first thermal insulation component 32 is arranged in the installation groove and is adapted to the outer periphery of the tank body 10, so as to be arranged in close contact with the outer surface of the tank body 10, thereby being able to support the tank body 10, while preventing the tank body 10 from directly contacting the installation ring body 31, thereby avoiding heat conduction between the tank body 10 and the installation ring body 31.

[0034] Preferably, the first thermal insulation member 32 is made of wood.

[0035] Wood has good compressive strength and heat insulation effect, can support the vertical load of the tank body 10, and has low thermal conductivity, which effectively prevents the heat of the tank body 10 from being transferred to the mounting ring body 31. It is also inexpensive and low in cost.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting ring assembly 30 also includes a positioning sleeve 33, and a seat body 11 corresponding to the positioning sleeve 33 is provided on the tank body 10. The positioning sleeve 33 and the seat body 11 are relatively buckled to form a receiving space, and a second heat insulating member 34 is provided in the receiving space.

[0037] By setting the positioning sleeve 33 and the seat body 11, after the positioning sleeve 33 and the seat body 11 are buckled, the lateral load and longitudinal load of the tank body 10 can be effectively supported, and the tank body 10 can be prevented from rotating or axially moving during transportation. At the same time, since the second heat insulating member 34 is set in the accommodation space formed by the positioning sleeve 33 and the seat body 11, and the positioning sleeve 33 and the seat body 11 are spaced apart, heat conduction between the positioning sleeve 33 and the seat body 11 can be prevented, and the second heat insulating member 34 also plays a heat insulating role in the accommodation space, thereby preventing heat loss caused by heat transfer between the tank body 10 and the mounting ring body 31.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the second heat insulating member 34 includes a heat insulating ring 341 and a center pin 342. The heat insulating ring 341 is located in the accommodation space; the center pin 342 is arranged in the heat insulating ring 341; wherein the heat insulating ring 341 and the center pin 342 are made of glass fiber reinforced plastic material.

[0039] Specifically, due to the inherent properties of fiberglass, it is easy to cool when processed into a ring structure, so an insulation ring 341 is used in the accommodation space for filling and insulation. In order to further prevent heat conduction in the accommodation space, a center pin 342 is placed in the inner ring of the insulation ring 341, so that the inner ring can be insulated and the heat dissipation caused by heat conduction can be reduced.

[0040] FRP itself has good thermal insulation properties and corrosion resistance, and has low cost, good structural strength, and can provide good thermal insulation effect.

[0041] Furthermore, the heat insulating ring 341 can be an integral structure or two structures stacked together. When the heat insulating ring 341 is a structure in which two heat insulating rings are stacked together, the center pin 342 also plays a role in shear resistance between the two heat insulating rings, and the length of the center pin 342 is greater than the axial dimension of the two heat insulating rings. The specific number of settings and the volume of the heat insulating ring 341 are determined according to the operating space during assembly.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning sleeve 33 is formed by the mounting ring body 31 protruding outward, and the positioning sleeve 33 is provided with an opening and a cover body covering the opening. The cover body is detachably arranged so as to cover the opening after the center pin 342 is installed in the insulation ring 341.

[0043] Specifically, during the assembly process, the insulation ring 341 is first installed on the seat body 11, and then the positioning sleeve 33 is snapped onto the seat body 11. Finally, the center pin 342 is inserted into the interior of the insulation ring 341 through the opening on the positioning sleeve 33, and then the cover body is placed on the opening to complete the assembly.

[0044] Therefore, the above arrangement facilitates the assembly of the heat insulation ring 341 and the center pin 342.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a reinforcing plate 12 is further provided between the seat body 11 and the tank body 10 .

[0046] Specifically, when the seat 11 is mounted on the tank body 10, a mounting groove for mounting the seat 11 is firstly opened on the tank body 10, and then the seat 11 is installed in the mounting groove, so that the seat 11 and the tank body 10 are welded. In order to avoid affecting the structural strength of the tank body 10 due to the opening of the mounting groove, when the seat 11 is mounted on the tank body 10, a reinforcing plate 12 is arranged between the seat 11 and the tank body 10, and the reinforcing plate 12 is welded to the tank body 10 to increase the structural strength between the tank body 10 and the seat 11, and prevent the medium in the tank body 10 from leaking.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting ring assembly 30 includes a plurality of positioning sleeves 33 , and the plurality of positioning sleeves 33 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the mounting ring body 31 .

[0048] Through the above arrangement, the plurality of positioning sleeves 33 can position the tank body 10 in the circumferential direction of the tank body 10 , thereby preventing the tank body 10 from rotating due to its own inertia or vibration during transportation.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there are multiple mounting ring assemblies 30, and the multiple mounting ring assemblies 30 are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the tank body 10.

[0050] Specifically, there are two mounting ring assemblies 30 in this embodiment, and the two mounting ring assemblies 30 are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the tank body 10, so that the two mounting ring assemblies 30 can share the vertical load of the tank body 10 in the axial direction of the tank body 10. At the same time, each mounting ring assembly 30 is provided with a plurality of positioning sleeves 33, so that the tank body 10 is positioned in multiple directions, ensuring the stability of the tank body 10 during transportation.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the tank container includes a support beam 40 and a support seat 50. The support beam 40 is arranged between the upper end of the mounting frame 20 and the mounting ring assembly 30; the support seat 50 is arranged between the lower end of the mounting frame 20 and the mounting ring assembly 30; wherein the support beam 40 is welded to the mounting ring assembly 30 and the mounting frame 20, and the support seat 50 is welded to the mounting ring assembly 30 and the mounting frame 20.

[0052] Through the above arrangement, the upper end of the mounting frame 20 is connected to the mounting ring assembly 30 via the support beam 40, and there is no direct contact between the support beam 40 and the tank body 10. The lower end of the mounting frame 20 is connected to the mounting ring assembly 30 via the support seat 50, and there is no direct contact between the support seat 50 and the tank body 10. This prevents heat conduction between the tank body 10 and the mounting frame 20 or the support seat 50 while ensuring the supporting strength of the tank body 10.

[0053] The tank container of the present application mainly comprises a tank body 10, a mounting frame 20, a mounting ring assembly 30, a support beam 40 and a support seat 50, etc. Figure 1 shown.

[0054] The mounting ring assembly 30 is mainly composed of a mounting ring body 31, a positioning sleeve 33, a first thermal insulation member 32, a second thermal insulation member 34, etc. Two groups of mounting ring assemblies 30 are arranged longitudinally on the tank body 10, and each group of mounting ring assemblies 30 is provided with four second thermal insulation members 34 and one group of first thermal insulation members 32. The mounting frame 20 and the tank body 10 are connected by a support seat 50 and a support beam 40, and the materials in contact with the tank body 10 are the first thermal insulation member 32 and the second thermal insulation member 34, which effectively blocks the transfer of heat. Its specific structure and principle are as follows:

[0055] The support seat 50 is welded to the mounting frame 20 and the mounting ring body 31. The first heat insulating member 32 is installed in the mounting ring body 31 and contacts the tank body 10 to support the vertical downward load of the tank body 10. Since the first heat insulating member 32 has a low thermal conductivity, it can effectively prevent the heat loss from the tank body 10 to the mounting frame 20. Figure 3 shown.

[0056] The support beam 40 is welded to the mounting frame 20 and the mounting ring body 31. The first heat insulating member 32 is installed in the mounting ring body 31 and contacts the tank body 10 to support the vertical upward load of the tank body 10. The first heat insulating member 32 has a low thermal conductivity and can effectively prevent the heat loss from the tank body 10 to the mounting frame 20. Figure 4 shown.

[0057] The seat 11 is welded to the tank body 10, the positioning sleeve 33 is welded to the mounting ring body 31, and the second thermal insulation member 34 is placed between the positioning sleeve 33 and the seat 11. Each group of mounting ring bodies 31 has 4 supporting points, of which the 4 supporting points in one group support the transverse and longitudinal loads of the tank body 10, and the 4 supporting points in the other group support the transverse load of the tank body 10. This structure can effectively prevent stress concentration caused by longitudinal deformation of the tank body 10 due to temperature changes of the tank body 10. Since the second thermal insulation member 34 has a low thermal conductivity, it can effectively prevent heat loss from the tank body 10 to the mounting frame 20. Figure 5 As shown;

[0058] The tank container of the present invention has a simple structure, reasonable force, safety and reliability, and good thermal insulation effect, and can save energy cost loss of secondary heating and avoid secondary heating of tank containers for short-distance transportation.

[0059] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0060] Since a heat insulating layer is provided between the mounting ring assembly and the tank body, direct contact between the mounting ring assembly and the tank body is avoided, thereby cutting off heat conduction between the mounting ring assembly and the tank body, preventing heat from the tank body from being transferred to the mounting ring assembly and the mounting frame, and reducing heat loss from the tank body.

[0061] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0062] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
