[0041] The air pressure display unit 11 is installed on the top of the inner liner 3 and detects the air pressure inside the inner liner 3. The air pressure display unit 11 includes a barometer 111 fixedly installed on the top of the inner liner 3, and the detection end of the barometer 111 is arranged inside the inner liner 3. An indicator ring 112 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner liner 3 at a position on one side of the barometer 111, and an indicator line 113 is engraved on the annular end surface of the indicator ring 112. A rotating disk 114 is provided inside the indicator ring 112, and an indicator needle 115 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the rotating disk 114, and the indicator needle 115 is arranged above the indicator ring 112.

[0042] The drain pipe 12 is installed at the lower end of the side wall of the inner tank 3 and is connected to the interior of the inner tank 3. A control valve 13 is installed inside the drain pipe 12. The detection mechanism 14 includes a strip cover 141 fixedly installed on the top of the four hollow bars 72.

Secondly, the through hole is used in conjunction with an external tool (such as a thin rod, so that the indicating piston 144 can be pushed back and reset after a single use for the next use).

[0043] The exhaust assembly 15 includes an exhaust hole 151 opened on the end face of the sealing cover 5, and the exhaust hole 151 is connected to the sealing cover 91, the hole opening of the exhaust hole 151 is threadedly connected with a right fixing column 152, the hole wall of the exhaust hole 151 is opened with an air pressure hole 153, and an air pressure valve 154 is installed inside the air pressure hole 153, and the hole opening of the air pressure hole 153 is threadedly connected with a sealing plugging column 155. Under the action of high air pressure, the valve plate of the air pressure valve 154 will be flushed open, thereby discharging excess air through the air pressure hole 153, and the sealing plugging column 155 can ensure the sealing of the air pressure hole 153.

[0044] An air supply pipe 16 is fixedly inserted at the top of the inner liner 3 , and a pipe cover 17 is threadedly connected to the pipe mouth of the air supply pipe 16 . The air supply pipe 16 is connected to the interior of the inner liner 3 , and gas can be added to the inner liner 3 through the air supply pipe 16 .

[0045] The operating principle of the present invention is now described as follows: when the liquid to be stored is poured into the inner liner 3, the liquid is introduced into the inner liner 3 through the barrel mouth 4 (the distance between the liquid surface and the inner top of the inner liner 3 is not less than 30 cm), and then, the personnel rotate the four hollow bars 72 upward to a vertical state. Since the outer diameter of the floating plate 6 is smaller than the barrel mouth 4, the floating plate 6 and the four hollow bars 72 can be placed into the inner liner 3 through the barrel mouth 4. After entering the inner liner 3, the floating plate 6 will contact the liquid surface, and under the action of buoyancy, the floating plate 6 will be placed in the inner liner 3. Under the action of the floating plate 6, the floating plate 6 will float on the liquid surface, and due to the loss of the restraint of the personnel, the four hollow bars 72 will rotate downward and make the floating block 74 contact with the liquid surface. Under the cooperation of the floating block 74 and the floating plate 6, the four hollow bars 72 are above the liquid surface and in a horizontal state, and then the sealing cover 5 is screwed into the inside of the barrel mouth 4 (the top of the inner liner 3 is equipped with a sealing member on the outside of the barrel mouth 4. After the sealing cover 5 is completely screwed in, the sealing cover 5 will abut against the sealing member, so that the barrel mouth 4 can be sealed), and the installation of the sealing cover 5 is completed;

[0046] After the sealing cover 5 is installed, the personnel twists the left fixing column 89 to separate the left fixing column 89 from the sealing cover 5, and then pulls the left fixing column 89 back and forth up and down. When the left fixing column 89 moves up, it will drive the air pumping piston 84 to move up through the pull rod 83. At this time, the air capacity space below the air pumping piston 84 will increase and form a negative pressure state. Under the action of the internal and external pressure difference, the air above the liquid surface in the inner liner 3 will enter the air pump 81 through the air inlet hole 85, and when the air pumping piston 84 moves downward, the space below the air pumping piston 84 will be compressed. Under the action of the air outlet check valve 88 and the air inlet check valve 86, the air inside the inner liner 3 can only enter the air pump 81 along the air inlet check valve 86, and the air inside the air pump 81 The air can only be discharged along the air outlet one-way valve 88. Therefore, when the air extraction piston 84 moves downward, the air inside the air extraction cylinder 81 will enter the inside of the sealing cover 91 through the air outlet hole 87 and the air outlet pipe 92, and enter the inside of the air cavity 10 through the air supply hose 93, and finally enter the inside of the hollow bar 72 through the four connecting hoses 94. By continuously pulling and pulling the left fixed column 89, the air extraction piston 84 can continuously supply air to the inside of the four hollow bars 72. As the air pressure inside the hollow bars 72 continues to increase, under the action of the air pressure, the air push pistons 75 inside the four hollow bars 72 will drive the telescopic rods 73 on the same side to extend outward, so that the four floating blocks 74 can move toward the four vertical inner walls of the inner liner 3 until the four floating blocks 74 are against the inner wall of the inner liner 3.

[0047] After the sealing cover 5 is installed, the personnel need to unscrew the sealing plug 155 at the air pressure hole 153. When the four floating blocks 74 abut against the inner wall of the liner 3, the personnel continue to pull the left fixed column 89. The air entering the sealing cover 91 cannot be further discharged through the air supply hose 93. At this time, the air pressure inside the sealing cover 91 will continue to increase. Under the action of the increased air pressure, the valve plate of the air pressure valve 154 in the air pressure hole 153 is pushed open, so that the excess air can be discharged.

[0048] When the personnel pull out the left fixed column 89, they need to observe the barometer 111. When the barometer 111 shows a preset value (the preset value can be set according to the manufacturing material of the liner 3 and the size of the inner cavity, for example, -30KPa), the personnel stop pulling out the left fixed column 89, and screw the sealing plug 155 into the air pressure hole 153, and then screw the rotating screw 116. The rotating screw 116 will drive the rotating disk 114 to rotate. When the indicator needle 115 on the rotating disk 114 indicates the indicator line 113 corresponding to the air pressure value displayed on the barometer 111, the rotating screw 116 is stopped (when rotating the rotating screw 116, it is necessary to rotate it clockwise to prevent the indicator needle 115 from rotating. 15 abuts against the top of the indicator ring 112, and the rotating screw 116 will not separate from the inner liner 3 after rotating 360°). Since a large amount of air inside the inner liner 3 is extracted, less air is retained in the inner liner 3 in contact with the liquid, thereby reducing the impact of air on the stored liquid. During the storage of the liquid, if the sealing connection between the sealing cover 5 and the barrel mouth 4 fails, external air will enter the inner liner 3, thereby causing the air pressure value displayed by the barometer 111 to gradually increase. By comparing the air pressure value indicated by the barometer 111 with the air pressure value indicated by the indicator needle 115, the personnel can know whether the seal between the sealing cover 5 and the barrel mouth 4 fails. At this point, the liquid storage work is completed;

[0049] When the stored liquid is transported, the stored liquid is affected by the inertia of the car braking, acceleration, etc., as well as the impact of the road bumps, and the stored liquid will shake. At this time, the liquid surface will shake. Since the four floating blocks 74 at the floating plate 6 are against the four inner walls of the inner liner 3, the position of the floating plate 6 will remain relatively stable. With the flexible fan-shaped membrane 78 between the four hollow bars 72 resisting the liquid surface, the flow amplitude of the liquid to the upper side of the air can be minimized, thereby reducing the shaking of the liquid and improving the stability of the entire ton barrel during transportation.

[0050] When the stored liquid needs to be transferred out, the personnel connects the external pipe or container for receiving the liquid with the drain pipe 12, and then opens the control valve 13. At this time, the liquid in the inner tank 3 will be discharged through the drain pipe 12 (in order to prevent the liquid in the inner tank 3 from being affected by the negative pressure and affecting the normal discharge of the stored liquid, it is necessary to unscrew the pipe cover 17 in advance to allow external air to be replenished into the inner tank 3 so that the inner tank 3 can return to normal pressure. At this time, open the control valve 13, and the stored liquid can flow out normally). As the liquid is discharged, the height of the liquid level gradually decreases, and the floating plate 6 and the floating block 74 will drive the hollow bar 72 as a whole. The liquid level moves down synchronously (because the floating block 74 is against the inner wall of the inner liner 3 through the ball 147, the friction between the floating block 74 and the inner wall of the inner liner 3 is small, ensuring that the floating block 74 and the floating plate 6 can move down normally). When the inner wall of the inner liner 3 is not eroded, the structure of the inner wall of the inner liner 3 is stable, so the floating block 74 will move down stably with the liquid level. If the inner wall of the inner liner 3 is eroded, the inner wall of the inner liner 3 will become thinner due to erosion. When the floating block 74 moves to the thinned position, the distance between the inner wall at the thinned position and the floating plate 6 becomes larger. Under the action of air pressure, the floating block 74 will drive the telescopic rod 73 to move a certain distance again. When the telescopic rod 73 moves, it will drive the permanent magnet 143 to move synchronously, and the permanent magnet 143 will produce a magnetic attraction on the iron block 142. Therefore, under the magnetic attraction, the iron block 142 will slide synchronously along the inside of the strip cover 141, and when the iron block 142 slides, it will push the indicating piston 144 to move synchronously. When the inner liner 3 is not corroded, since the size of the inner liner 3 is fixed, the final distance moved by the indicating piston 144 is determined. When the inner wall of the inner liner 3 is corroded, the floating block 74 drives the telescopic rod 73 to move a larger distance, and the moving distance of the indicating piston 144 will also increase. Therefore, the personnel can check the inner wall of the inner liner 3. By observing the moving distance of the indicating piston 144 (this checking action is performed after the liquid is discharged, that is, the sealing cover 5 is unscrewed, and each hollow strip 72 is taken out and then checked), it can help personnel to judge whether the inner wall of the liner 3 is corroded to a certain extent (by providing personnel with a preliminary judgment basis for whether the liner 3 is corroded each time the liquid is transferred out, it is possible to find out in time that the liner may be corroded, assist in daily inspections, prevent accidents, and ensure transportation safety. At the same time, it can also reduce costs, reduce dependence on expensive testing equipment, and make quick judgments when the liquid is transferred out, saving time and improving work efficiency);

[0051] After all the liquid is discharged, the right fixing column 152 is unscrewed. At this time, the excess air in the sealing cover 91, the air cavity 10 and the hollow strip 72 will be discharged through the exhaust hole 151. Under the action of the elastic pull strip 77, each telescopic rod 73 will move back and reset. When each telescopic rod 73 moves back, the permanent magnet 143 on the telescopic rod 73 will move back and reset along with the telescopic rod 73, and the iron block 142 inside the strip cover 141 will also move back and reset under the action of magnetic attraction. Then the sealing cover 5 is unscrewed. The sealing cover 5 will pull the floating plate 6 upward through the air supply hose 93. Due to the loss of liquid obstruction, each hollow strip 72 will rotate downward to a vertical state under the action of gravity, and the floating plate 6 will be lifted up through the sealing cover 5 and the air supply hose 93. 6 is pulled out from the barrel mouth 4, and the four hollow bars 72 will be pulled out together, and then the personnel can check the position of each indicating piston 144 (the position of the indicating piston 144 can be judged by the scale line 146 on the strip transparent plate 145), wherein, when the hollow bar 72 is rotated downward to a vertical state, under the friction between the indicating piston 144, the strip cover 141 and the hollow bar 72, the indicating piston 144 can overcome its own gravity and will not slide down (the iron block 142 moves back and resets with the permanent magnet 143 under the action of magnetic attraction, so it will not cause downward pressure on the indicating piston 144 and will not affect the position of the indicating piston 144), ensuring the position accuracy of the indicating piston 144.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
