Detailed Description of the Invention

[0023] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0024] As Figures 1 to 5In an embodiment of an LNG enclosed ground flare 1 emission device of the present invention shown, it includes a gas tank 2 and a transmission mechanism. A support plate 21 is provided at the top of the gas tank 2, and a fixed gear 31 is rotatably installed on the support plate 21. A plurality of gas tanks 2 are circumferentially arranged around the transmission mechanism; the transmission mechanism includes an eccentric gear 41 and a rotating plate 43. The rotating plate 43 is rotatably installed on the support plate 21, and the eccentric gear 41 is rotatably installed on the rotating plate 43 and is eccentrically arranged. The eccentric gear 41 can be meshed with the fixed gear 31, and the eccentric gear 41 is driven by a motor 46; a gear disk 4 is also fixedly installed on the support plate 21. The gear disk 4 covers the upper part of the eccentric gear 41, and an internal tooth 47 is provided on the side wall of the gear disk 4. The eccentric gear 41 can be meshed with the internal tooth 47; a plurality of notches are circumferentially arranged on the side surface of the gear disk 4. The fixed gear 31 extends into the gear disk 4 from the notch. When the eccentric gear 41 is meshed with the fixed gear 31, it disengages from the internal tooth 47 of the gear disk 4; an intake pipe 14 and an exhaust pipe 13 are provided at the bottom of the gas tank 2, and a piston plate 33 is also provided in the gas tank 2. The piston plate 33 is slidably sealed between the inner wall of the gas tank 2, and the piston plate 33 can be controlled to slide up and down by the fixed gear 31.

[0025] Specifically, when using this LNG enclosed ground flare 1 emission device, connect the emission port of the device for emitting waste gas to the intake pipe 14 of the gas tank 2. Different types of waste gas are introduced into different gas tanks 2. During the subsequent process of introducing waste gas, start the motor 46. The motor 46 drives the eccentric gear 41 to rotate. The eccentric gear 41 meshes with the fixed gear 31 at the top of one gas tank 2, driving the fixed gear 31 to rotate. The fixed gear 31 drives the piston plate 33 to move upward, so that the waste gas begins to be accommodated below the piston plate 33 in the gas tank 2; after the piston plate 33 moves upward to the limit position, the fixed gear 31 cannot rotate, while the eccentric gear 41 continues to rotate driven by the motor 46. At this time, the eccentric gear 41 disengages from the immovable fixed gear 31 and instead meshes with the internal tooth 47 in the gear disk 4. Then the eccentric gear 41 rotates along the internal tooth 47 of the gear disk 4, driving the rotating plate 43 to rotate synchronously. After the eccentric gear 41 meshes with the next fixed gear 31, the eccentric gear 41 begins to continue driving the fixed gear 31 to rotate to inflate the next gas tank 2; after all the gas tanks 2 are filled, the motor 46 rotates in reverse, driving the fixed gear 31 to rotate in reverse through the eccentric gear 41, that is, the piston plate 33 in the gas tank 2 moves downward. Through the extrusion of the piston plate 33, the waste gas stored in the gas tank 2 is discharged from the exhaust pipe 13 into the LNG enclosed ground flare for the enclosed ground flare 1 to burn.

[0026] In the case of intermittent exhaust of the equipment discharging waste gas, the above-mentioned discharge device can fit the working frequency of the equipment discharging waste gas and work intermittently. When the equipment discharging waste gas is a device continuously outputting waste gas, the gear disk 4, its transmission mechanism and multiple gas tanks 2 are regarded as a group. Two groups of equipment can be set on the air supply pipeline 12 to make the two groups of equipment work alternately, ensuring that the continuously output waste gas can be completely collected and then sent to the LNG closed ground flare 1 for combustion; further, when the waste gas emission increases, multiple groups of equipment can be set on the air supply pipeline 12.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present application, preferably, a motor 46 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the gas tank 2, a motor gear 45 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 46, a connecting shaft is arranged on the lower surface of the eccentric gear 41, the connecting shaft passes through the rotating plate 43, and a transmission gear 42 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting shaft. The transmission gear 42 meshes with the motor gear 45; it is ensured that the transmission of the motor 46 is stable and reliable, and the eccentric gear 41 can be continuously and stably driven to rotate.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present application, preferably, a groove is opened on the support plate 21 below the fixed gear 31, an installation groove is opened on the rotating plate 43, and a movable key 44 is installed in the installation groove through a spring. The movable key 44 can extend into the groove on the support plate 21; specifically, when the eccentric gear 41 meshes with the fixed gear 31, the eccentric gear 41 rotates, which may drive the fixed gear 31 to rotate, or may cause the eccentric gear 41 itself to rotate along the internal teeth 47 of the gear disk 4, that is, drive the rotating plate 43 to rotate. At this time, the movable key 44 extends into the groove, restricting the rotation of the rotating plate 43, that is, restricting the rotation of the eccentric gear 41 along the internal teeth 47 of the gear disk 4, ensuring that the eccentric gear 41 can normally drive the fixed gear 31 to rotate. After the fixed gear 31 drives the threaded rod 3 to complete the operation and can no longer rotate, the eccentric gear 41 continues to rotate under the drive of the motor 46, squeezing the spring in the installation groove of the rotating plate 43, causing the movable key 44 to retract into the installation groove, and the rotating plate 43 is disengaged from the support plate 21. The eccentric gear 41 can continue to rotate along the internal teeth 47 of the gear disk 4 until it meshes with the next fixed gear 31, and the movable key 44 extends out again and is clamped in the groove corresponding to the next fixed gear 31, ensuring that the rotating plate 43 is fixed to the support plate 21 and enabling the eccentric gear 41 to operate normally..

[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, preferably, a threaded rod 3 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of the piston plate 33, a through hole is opened at the center of the fixed gear 31, an internal thread 34 is arranged in the through hole, and the threaded rod 3 passes through the through hole and cooperates with the internal thread 34; a limiting component is arranged in the gas tank 2 to prevent the piston plate 33 and the threaded rod 3 from rotating relative to the gas tank 2; it is ensured that the fixed gear 31 can drive the threaded rod 3 to move up and down during rotation.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the length of the threaded rod 3 is greater than the height of the gas tank 2; the length of the threaded rod 3 ensures the range of motion of the piston plate 33, so that the space in the gas tank 2 can be fully utilized.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the limiting assembly includes a limiting rod 32 and a limiting groove, the limiting rod 32 is vertically arranged on the inner wall of the gas tank 2, the limiting groove is opened at the edge of the piston plate 33, and the limiting rod 32 passes through the limiting groove; the piston plate 33, the threaded rod 3 and the gas tank 2 are restricted from relative rotation, ensuring that the fixed gear 31 can normally drive the threaded rod 3 to move during the rotation process.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, a plurality of limit grooves are evenly distributed on the edge of the piston plate 33 along the circumference of the piston plate 33, and a plurality of limit rods 32 are correspondingly arranged on the inner wall of the gas tank 2; so that the force on the piston plate 33 is balanced, on the one hand, the reliability of the limit is improved, and on the other hand, it prevents the piston plate 33 from tilting due to uneven force, causing the exhaust gas below the piston plate 33 to penetrate to the top of the piston plate.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the exhaust pipe 13 at the bottom of the gas tank 2 is connected to the gas supply pipeline 12, and the gas supply pipeline 12 is connected to the LNG closed ground flare 1; so that the gas in the gas tank 2 can pass into the gas supply pipeline 12, and then supply the LNG closed ground flare 1 for combustion.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, a base 11 is provided at the lower end of the LNG closed ground flare 1, and a gas supply pipe 12 is installed on the base 11. The LNG closed ground flare 1 is protected by the base 11 to prevent non-staff from contacting the LNG closed ground flare 1 and to prevent the heat emitted by the LNG closed ground flare 1 from burning the operator.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
