[0002] With the wide application of LNG (liquefied natural gas), the number of LNG customers is increasing. Small customers increase significantly, and small customers have less LNG consumption but a large base, which requires suitable dedicated LNG distribution vehicles to distribute to small customer terminals. Since the main component of LNG is methane, its combustion has very little air pollution, which can meet the requirements of adjusting the energy structure in China, so the development space of LNG distribution vehicles in China is huge.

In order to realize the honeycomb service, the small LNG distribution vehicles usually need to unload multiple times. With the increase of unloading times, the LNG liquid level in the tank gradually decreases, and the pressure in the tank also decreases. In order to realize differential pressure conveying, the tank needs to be self-pressurized, and after reaching the rated pressure difference, unloading can be carried out.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0025] In the prior art, the self-pressurization time in the tank after multiple unloading increases, and the overall sealing ability and fatigue strength are poor when the tank body is divided by the partition 1.
[0026] Therefore, the present application provides a sub-mother tank of an LNG distribution vehicle, which comprises a tank body and a pipeline system. The tank body comprises a sub tank 4 and a mother tank 5, the mother tank 5 contains one or several sub tanks 4, the sub tank 4 is connected to the mother tank 5 through a connecting piece 6, and the pipeline system comprises a through liquid pipeline, a self-pressurization pipeline and a vent pipeline connected to the sub tank 4 and the mother tank 5 respectively.
[0027] Embodiment:
[0028] Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embodiment of the sub-mother tank of the LNG distribution vehicle of the present application is shown.
[0029] The LNG distribution vehicle comprises a vehicle frame and a tank body, the tank body is arranged on the vehicle frame, and the tank body is filled with liquefied natural gas, so as to realize liquefied natural gas distribution for small terminal equipment. In the specific embodiments of the present application, the LNG distribution vehicle specifically refers to a small LNG distribution vehicle with small capacity, and preferably, the capacity of the small LNG distribution vehicle is 4m 3 or 9m 3 or 15m3 The small LNG distribution vehicle is used for distribution of small terminal equipment with small storage capacity. The small LNG distribution vehicle needs to be unloaded many times during distribution, and self-pressurization is needed after each unloading for next differential pressure delivery.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 The mother- daughter tank 5 of the LNG distribution vehicle includes a tank body and a pipeline system. The tank body is divided into a daughter tank 4 and a mother tank 5 according to the inclusion relationship. The mother tank 5 contains several daughter tanks 4 to form a mother- daughter structure. In this embodiment, when the daughter tank 4 is several, the daughter tanks 4 can be freely arranged in the mother tank 5, or can be arranged in the form of layer-by-layer nesting from the outside to the inside.
[0031] In this embodiment, the tank body can also include one daughter tank 4 and one mother tank 5. The daughter tank 4 is arranged in the mother tank 5 and occupies a certain capacity of the mother tank 5. The daughter tank 4 and the mother tank 5 are both used for storing liquefied natural gas. In the preferred state, the capacity of the whole tank body is 13m 3 , wherein the capacity of the daughter tank 4 is 4m 3 , and the capacity of the mother tank 5 is 9m 3 The above capacity is only one combination of the present application, and the present application is not limited to the above combination.
[0032] In the specific embodiment of the present application, the pipeline system includes a liquid pipeline, a self-pressurization pipeline and a venting pipeline. The liquid pipeline is connected with the daughter tank 4 or the mother tank 5, thereby inputting or outputting liquefied natural gas to or from the mother tank 5 or the daughter tank 4. The self-pressurization pipeline is connected with the daughter tank 4 or the mother tank 5, thereby inputting the liquefied natural gas in the mother tank 5 or the daughter tank 4 after gasification to the mother tank 5 or the daughter tank 4, so as to increase the pressure in the mother tank 5 or the daughter tank 4, thereby creating conditions for differential pressure delivery of the liquefied natural gas. The venting pipeline is connected with the mother tank 5 or the daughter tank 4, thereby automatically discharging gaseous natural gas through the venting pipeline when the pressure in the mother tank 5 or the daughter tank 4 is too high, so as to stabilize the gas pressure in the tank body and prevent overpressure.
[0033] The daughter tank 4 is connected with the mother tank 5 through the connecting piece 6, so as to fix the relative position between the daughter tank 4 and the mother tank 5 and avoid relative displacement of the daughter tank 4 during transportation.
[0034] When it is needed to deliver liquefied natural gas outward, the liquefied natural gas in the daughter tank 4 is first delivered outward through the liquid pipeline, and then the liquefied natural gas in the mother tank 5 is delivered outward through the liquid pipeline after the liquefied natural gas in the daughter tank 4 is used up. Since the daughter tank 4 occupies part of the space of the mother tank 5, the part of the space of the daughter tank 4 is excluded when the mother tank 5 is pressurized, so it is not necessary to repeatedly pressurize the space in the daughter tank 4, thereby achieving the purpose of saving time.
[0035] Of course, the liquefied natural gas in the mother tank 5 can also be preferentially transported out through the liquid passage multiple times until the liquefied natural gas in the mother tank 5 is used up, and then the liquefied natural gas in the daughter tank 4 is transported out through the liquid passage. Since the daughter tank 4 occupies part of the space of the mother tank 5, when the daughter tank 4 is pressurized, the part of the space of the mother tank 5 is excluded, so it is not necessary to repeatedly pressurize the space in the mother tank 5, thereby achieving the purpose of saving time.
[0036] Moreover, the natural gas in the mother tank 5 and the daughter tank 4 can also be alternately used, so that the gas pressures in the daughter tank 4 and the mother tank 5 are kept relatively balanced.
