Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a thermal insulation device for a tank truck, in particular to a thermal insulation device for a large-volume and heavy-load tank truck. Background Art

[0002] Large-capacity, heavy-load railroad tank cars are the future of railroad tank car technology and represent advanced productivity in railroad liquid transportation. Currently, existing railroad tank cars have been upgraded from 60-ton capacity tank cars to 70-ton capacity tank cars, and are gradually moving towards 80-ton capacity tank cars.

[0003] Under existing railway gauge standards, as loads increase and tank volumes increase, the thickness of the insulation layer on insulated tank cars is compressed to a certain extent. To reduce the thickness of the insulation layer on large, heavy-loaded railway tank cars and ensure the real-time insulation effect of the medium contained in these large, heavy-loaded tank cars, improvements must be made to the insulation layer and insulation structure of existing insulated tank cars. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that as the load of existing insulated tank trucks increases, the volume of the tank body increases, resulting in the thickness of the insulation layer being limited, and to provide an insulation device for large-volume heavy-load tank trucks.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A heat preservation device for a large-volume, heavy-load tank truck, which is special in that it comprises two head heat preservation shells, multiple annular heat preservation shells and two sets of bolster heat preservation shells;

[0007] The two head insulation shells are respectively arranged on the outer surfaces of the two heads of the tank car through annular supports;

[0008] The plurality of annular insulation shells are arranged on the tank body of the tank truck through annular supports and longitudinal supports, and are located between the two head insulation shells;

[0009] The bolster insulation shell is arranged at a relative position between the tank body and the bolster, and the bolster insulation shell is located between the annular insulation shell and the head insulation shell;

[0010] The outer surface of the tank body is coated with an aerogel thermal insulation coating to form a first thermal insulation layer;

[0011] Aerogel insulation cotton felt is arranged between the two head insulation shells and the tank body, between the multiple annular insulation shells and the tank body, and between the two groups of bolster insulation shells and the tank body to form a second insulation layer.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes circumferential moldings and longitudinal moldings arranged on the outer surfaces of the head insulation shell and multiple circumferential insulation shells.

[0013] Furthermore, the bolster insulation shell includes a first bolster insulation shell, two second bolster insulation shells, a third bolster insulation shell and a fourth bolster insulation shell;

[0014] The first bolster insulation shell, the two second bolster insulation shells, the third bolster insulation shell and the fourth bolster insulation shell are all arranged on the bottom of the tank body through the bolster circumferential support members, the bolster longitudinal support members and the bolster insulation shell support angle members;

[0015] Aerogel insulation cotton felt is provided between the first bolster insulation shell, the second bolster insulation shell, the third bolster insulation shell and the fourth bolster insulation shell and the tank body.

[0016] Furthermore, the aerogel insulation felt between the two head insulation shells and the tank body is fixedly connected by a head fixing strip and a head insulation fixing piece, and the head fixing strip is perpendicular to the head insulation fixing piece;

[0017] The aerogel insulation felt between the annular insulation shell and the tank body is fixedly connected by annular supports and longitudinal supports;

[0018] The aerogel insulation felt between the first bolster insulation shell, the two second bolster insulation shells, the third bolster insulation shell and the fourth bolster insulation shell and the tank body is fixedly connected by the bolster circumferential support member, the bolster longitudinal support member and the bolster insulation shell support angle member.

[0019] Furthermore, the annular support member includes an arc-shaped angle steel, a first supporting angle steel, and a first fiberglass backing plate;

[0020] The arc-shaped angle steel and the first supporting angle steel are separated by a first glass fiber reinforced plastic pad and connected by bolts; the first supporting angle steel is arranged on the tank body;

[0021] The bolster annular support member has the same structure as the annular support member.

[0022] Furthermore, the longitudinal support member includes an angle steel, a second supporting angle steel, and a second fiberglass backing plate;

[0023] The angle steel and the second supporting angle steel are separated by a second glass fiber reinforced plastic backing plate and connected by bolts; the second supporting angle steel is arranged on the tank body;

[0024] The bolster longitudinal support member has the same structure as the longitudinal support member.

[0025] Furthermore, the head insulation fixing member includes a steel plate, bolts, and nuts, and the bolts are pre-welded on the steel plate; the steel plate is connected to the tank body;

[0026] The nut fastens the head fixing strip to the bolt.

[0027] Furthermore, the bolster insulation shell supporting angle pieces are welded to the tank body.

[0028] Furthermore, the head insulation shell is made of conical carbon steel plates;

[0029] The width of the circumferential and longitudinal beadings is 80 mm, the thickness is 3 mm, and the material is flat steel plate;

[0030] The thickness of the annular insulation shell is 3mm and the material is carbon steel plate;

[0031] The thickness of the first bolster insulation shell, the second bolster insulation shell, the third bolster insulation shell, and the fourth bolster insulation shell are all 3 mm, and are made of carbon steel plates.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of the present invention are:

[0033] 1. The present invention's insulation device for large-volume, heavy-load tank trucks utilizes two insulation layers: aerogel insulation coating and aerogel insulation felt. The aerogel insulation coating forms a closed space on the tank surface, effectively preventing thermal bridges. Compared to traditional insulation materials such as glass wool and rock wool, aerogel insulation felt has a lower thermal conductivity and provides superior insulation performance when the insulation layer is thin. The combined use of two insulation layers ensures the thermal insulation performance of large-volume tank trucks, even with thin insulation layers.

[0034] 2. The heat-insulating fiberglass backing plate used in the heat-insulating device for large-volume heavy-load tank trucks of the present invention can effectively block the heat bridge of heat transfer from the tank body to the outside, improve the heat conduction resistance, and improve the heat insulation performance of the entire vehicle.

[0035] 3. The heat preservation device for a large-volume, heavy-load tank truck of the present invention connects the angle steel with the supporting angle steel. The support height can be adjusted by adjusting the drilling position of the connecting bolt hole to adapt to different insulation layer thicknesses.

[0036] 4. The insulation surface of the insulation structure of the large-volume and heavy-load tank car of the present invention adopts a pressure strip structure at the head, and is pre-tightened by bolt connection, which improves the fixation reliability of the insulation cotton and ensures that the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer do not fall off under the vibration conditions of railway operation, and the insulation performance at the head does not decay.
