[0002] Under the existing technology, compressed oxygen cylinders are mostly used to store oxygen, which is very inconvenient to use. The oxygen cylinders need to be repeatedly transported, replaced and replenished, which consumes huge manpower and wastes energy. However, the total expansion ratio of liquid oxygen is as high as 860:1. Choosing liquid oxygen instead of general gaseous oxygen can greatly reduce the energy waste caused by replacing oxygen cylinders.

In this embodiment, by setting the support mechanism 3, the support area can be increased when the spherical tank body 1 is installed, so that the spherical tank body 1 can be installed more stably, so that the tank body 1 is in a steady state environment when in use, and the safety of the tank body 1 is ensured. At the same time, by using the setting of the detection structure, the output port at the bottom of the tank body 1 can be detected in real time to prevent the output port of the tank body 1 from changing from a small leak to a large leak before it is discovered, and an explosion occurs in serious cases, which is convenient for early detection of potential dangers and further improves the safety of the tank body 1.
[0030] Furthermore, the support mechanism 3 includes: a support column 31, the support column 31 is arranged at the bottom of the base, the top of the support column 31 constitutes a mounting groove adapted to the bottom of the tank body 1, and a pull rod 32 is arranged between two adjacent support columns 31, one end of the pull rod 32 is hinged on the side wall of one of the support columns 31, and the other end is movably connected to a slide groove 33 provided on the other support column 31;
[0031] A groove 34 is provided at the center of the top of the support column 31, and a top column 35 is slidably connected in the groove 34. The top column 35 is movably connected to the movable end of the pull rod 32 through a connecting piece. A plug rod 36 is slidably connected to the bottom of the slide groove 33, and a support spring 37 is provided between the plug rod 36 and the bottom of the slide groove 33. In this embodiment, a specific structure of the support mechanism 3 is provided, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing the support area of the tank body 1 by the support mechanism 3. When in use, the support column 31 is first placed in advance to the position where the tank body 1 is to be placed. After the multiple support columns 31 are installed, the tank body 1 is placed in the installation grooves on the multiple support columns 31. The self-weight of the tank body 1 is used to press the top column 35 on the support column 31, so that the top column 35 moves downward, thereby driving the movable end of the pull rod 32 to swing downward. When the movable end swings downward, it just presses the plug rod 36 at the bottom of the slide groove 33, so that the plug rod 36 moves downward and stops being inserted into the soil, forming an auxiliary fixing effect; and the self-weight of the tank body 1 can be used to press the top column 35 on the support column 31, so that the top column 35 moves downward, thereby driving the movable end of the pull rod 32 to swing downward.

On the other hand, the downward movement of the pull rod 32 can also be used to achieve auxiliary tightening of the insertion rod 36, thereby increasing the contact tightness between the support mechanism 3 and the ground, and further improving the safety of the tank body 1. It should be noted that, as another embodiment, after the tank body 1 is placed in the installation groove formed on the support column 31, the support column 31 can be welded to the outer wall of the tank body 1, so that the support column 31 and the tank body 1 form an integrated structure, thereby ensuring the stability of the tank body 1 after placement, and further improving the safety of the liquid oxygen storage tank.
[0032] Furthermore, a safety mechanism 4 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 1, and the safety mechanism 4 includes a hanging chain 41, and the hanging chain 41 ball is hinged at the bottom center of the tank body 1, and a counterweight body 42 is fixed to the bottom of the hanging chain 41, and a safety groove 43 is provided on the side wall of one of the top columns 35 located around the counterweight ball, and a compression spring 44 is fixed in the safety groove 43, and a safety valve 45 is provided on the output port of the tank body 1, and the valve handle of the safety valve 45 is connected to one end of a connecting rod 46; the counterweight body 42 and the connecting rod 46 are connected by a linkage assembly.
[0033] The connecting assembly includes a cross bar 47, the other end of the connecting rod 46 is connected to the cross bar 47, one end of the cross bar 47 is fixedly provided with a No. 1 inclined block 48, and the other end is fixed to the counterweight body 42 through a ring, and the other end of the compression spring 44 is fixed with a No. 2 inclined block 49, and the No. 1 inclined block 48 is in contact with the inclined surface of the No. 2 inclined block 49. When the cross bar 47 is offset, it will drive the connecting rod 46 to offset, so that the valve handle moves to open the safety valve 45, allowing the liquid oxygen in the tank body 1 to leak out. In this embodiment, a safety mechanism 4 is also provided at the bottom of the tank body 1 to prevent the center of gravity problem of the tank body 1 when it is initially placed, and the explosion problem caused by excessive pressure due to violent shaking of the liquid storage tank when encountering disasters such as earthquakes. When encountering the above situation, the liquid oxygen stored in the tank body 1 can be released in advance in time to prevent the risk of worsening explosion. Specifically, during installation, the suspended counterweight 42 naturally droops under the action of its own weight, always maintaining the purpose of the vertical center, and also allowing the center of gravity of the tank body 1 to remain consistent after being placed in the installation slot. If an earthquake occurs and the ground vibrates, the counterweight 42 suspended at the bottom of the tank body 1 shakes, and the counterweight 42 The cross bar 47 fixed on one side is driven away. When the shaking amplitude is large, the No. 1 inclined block 48 fixed on one side of the cross bar 47 is forced to squeeze the No. 2 inclined block 49. The No. 2 inclined block 49 is passively pressed and compressed by the compression spring 44 under the squeezing force of the No. 1 inclined block 48. Therefore, the No. 1 inclined block 48 and the cross bar 47 can get rid of the pressure of the compression spring 44 and the No. 2 spring. The movement of the cross bar 47 drives the connecting rod 46 to move. When the cross bar 47 deviates, it drives the connecting rod 46 to deviate, so that the valve handle moves to open the safety valve 45, allowing the liquid oxygen in the tank body 1 to leak out of the tank body 1, so as to avoid the risk of explosion caused by the shaking of the tank body 1 in the earthquake state, and further improve the safety of the tank body 1.
[0034] The safety mechanism 4 in the present invention, on the one hand, can increase the counterweight during the initial installation process of the tank body 1 to maintain the balance of the center of gravity of the tank body 1, so that the tank body 1 is stable after installation; on the other hand, when an earthquake occurs, it can use the earthquake vibration to make the counterweight body 42 shake, thereby pulling the cross bar 47 and the connecting rod 46, and finally realize the opening of the safety valve 45 at the output port of the tank body 1, actively discharging liquid oxygen, and preventing the risk of explosion of the tank body 1.
[0035] Furthermore, the detection mechanism 5 includes: a detection sensor 51, which is used to detect whether there is leakage at the output port of the tank body 1. A ring-shaped member 52 is sleeved on the outside of the output port of the tank body 1, and the ring-shaped member 52 wraps the output port of the tank body 1. A knocking component 53 is provided on the outside of the ring-shaped member 52, and the knocking component 53 is used to knock the ring-shaped member 52. In this example, the output port of the tank body 1 is detected in real time by the detection sensor 51, so that the leakage of the tank body 1 can be monitored in time, and then small leakage can be curbed, and the leakage will not continue to deteriorate due to negligence and eventually end in explosion; at the same time, in order to prevent the detection sensor 51 from being damaged when the liquid oxygen leakage is large, a ring part 52 and a knocking component 53 are added. By knocking the ring part 52 by the knocking component 53, it is possible to indirectly judge whether the ring part 52 is damaged and indirectly verify whether a leakage occurs, thereby ensuring feedback on the liquid oxygen leakage and further ensuring the safety of the tank body 1; it should be noted that the detection sensor 51 is a prior art and can be one of a temperature sensor, a gas concentration sensor, etc.
[0036] Further, the knocking assembly 53 includes a solar panel 531, which is arranged on the top of the valve box 2, a set 532 is arranged on the outer side of the annular member 52, and the set 532 is fixedly arranged on the bottom of the tank body 1, and an annular groove 533 is arranged on the outer side of the set 532, and a plurality of through grooves 534 are opened in the annular groove 533, and one side of the through groove 534 is set as an arc surface 535, and a rotating ring 536 is arranged on the outer side of the set 532, and a slot 537 is arranged on the inner side of the rotating ring 536, and a knocking column 538 is slidably connected in the slot 537, and a reset spring 539 is arranged between the knocking column 538 and the slot 537, and the end of the knocking column 538 is slidably installed in the annular groove 533;
[0037] The motor 540 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the kit 532, and the output shaft of the motor 540 is connected to a gear 541, which is rotatably mounted on the kit 532, and the gear 541 is meshed with a gear ring 542 for transmission, and a gear ring 542 is fixedly arranged on the top of the rotating ring 536. Furthermore, a detector is arranged on the support column 31 away from the tank body 1, and the detector is used to detect the knocking sound generated between the knocking column 538 and the output port of the tank body 1, and a sound amplifier can also be installed at the bottom of the tank body 1 to amplify the knocking sound.
[0038] In this embodiment, the solar panel 531 is used to power the motor 540, the motor 540 drives the gear 541 to rotate, the gear 541 drives the ring gear 542 to rotate, the ring gear 542 mobilizes the rotating ring 536 to rotate the rod, and the rotating ring 536 will drive the knocking column 538 to slide circumferentially along the annular groove 533 when rotating. When encountering the through groove 534, the knocking column 538, which was originally in a compressed state, will instantly pop out from the through groove 534 and then impact the ring member 52, wherein the ring member 52 is made of plastic material. If liquid oxygen leaks, it will cause the ring member 52 to become brittle. Once the knocking column 538 impacts the brittle ring member 52, the ring member 52 will be broken, so the knocking column 538 will directly knock the tank On the outer wall of the output port of the tank body 1, both are made of metal, so a knocking sound occurs when they come into contact. At this time, a detector is installed on the outer support column 31 to detect the knocking sound, so that liquid oxygen leakage can be discovered in time and the leakage can be curbed. The present invention can determine whether the ring part 52 is damaged according to the embrittlement of the ring part 52 by continuously knocking with the knocking column 538, so that the knocking column 538 directly contacts the output port of the tank body 1 and makes a knocking sound, and then the knocking sound is detected by the detector for coordination. Compared with the situation that the output port of the tank body 1 is easily damaged by directly using a sensor to detect at close range, the close-range embrittlement and the long-distance detection of knocking sounds can more reliably determine the liquid oxygen leakage, thereby improving the safety of the tank body 1 storing liquid oxygen.
[0039] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
