In addition, there is a large space between the pontoon type floating pan and the oil liquid surface, and after the oil gas is mixed, not only the floating pan will be corroded, but also there is a risk of combustion and explosion, the maintenance risk is large, and the safety and reliability are also low. The full-liquid-contacting floating pan has comprehensive technical improvement compared with the pontoon type floating pan, the device has multiple floating units, generally a honeycomb-shaped partition plate is arranged inside, and the oil gas space is eliminated, and has the advantages of large structural strength, stable operation, high safety and the like.

[0004] Although the full-liquid-contacting floating pan has many advantages, there are still some problems in such devices in China at present.

[0005] 1) The floating unit is welded, the welding difficulty is great, the welding quality is difficult to guarantee, and if welding defects occur, the oil liquid will leak;

[0006] 2) The floating pan is guided by the lifting column in the storage tank, and when impacted by the liquid surface, the chuck is easy to be caused, and in severe cases, the floating pan will sink;

[0007] 3) The floating units are only simply spliced and assembled, the mechanical properties are poor, and when impacted, the floating units are easy to crack, the oil liquid is easy to leak, and the floating pan is easy to sink. SUMMARY

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. By arranging the flexible skin bag and the elastic large compensation sealing ring, the flexible skin bag is inflated by inflating the upper part of the flexible skin bag through the air inlet, so that the flexible skin bag is expanded, the gaps between the stainless steel connecting frame and the side wall of the storage tank are filled, a primary seal is formed, the flexible skin bag is tightly attached to the oil surface inside the storage tank, the oil gas space is eliminated, and the volatilization of the oil is greatly reduced. When the upper part of the flexible skin bag is inflated and pressurized, the elastic large compensation sealing ring can tightly attach to the tank wall under the action of the gas pressure, further eliminate the gap between the floating disc device and the side wall of the storage tank, and form a secondary seal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a flexible multi-power hydraulic drive type full-liquid-contact inner floating disc device for a storage tank includes a stainless steel fixed upper plate 1, a hydraulic cylinder 2, a stainless steel connecting frame 3 and a flexible bladder 4. The stainless steel fixed upper plate 1 is located on the upper part of the storage tank 5 and is integrated with the storage tank 5 by welding. The hydraulic cylinder 2 is fixed to the stainless steel fixed upper plate 1 by a hydraulic cylinder top fixing bolt set 6, and the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 2 is provided with a hydraulic cylinder fixing base 7. The hydraulic cylinder 2 and the hydraulic cylinder fixing base 7 are fixed to the stainless steel connecting frame 3 by a hydraulic cylinder bottom fixing bolt set 8. The upper surface of the stainless steel connecting frame 3 is provided with a connecting frame pulley assembly 9, which is fixed to the upper surface of the stainless steel connecting frame 3 by welding. The lower surface of the stainless steel connecting frame 3 is provided with a connecting device 10, which fixes the flexible bladder 4 and an elastic large compensation sealing ring 11 to the lower surface of the stainless steel connecting frame 3. An air inlet 12 is provided above the storage tank 5, an exhaust valve 13 is provided on the wall surface of the storage tank 5 between the stainless steel fixed upper plate 1 and the stainless steel connecting frame 3, and a one-way air inlet valve 14 and a one-way exhaust valve 15 are provided on the wall surface of the storage tank 5 below the flexible bladder 4. In addition, an oil inlet 16 and an oil outlet 17 are provided on the side wall of the bottom of the storage tank 5, and a gravity sensor 18 is provided on the bottom of the storage tank 5, which is connected to the foundation 19 and the computer 20.

[0023] Referring toFigure 3 The connecting frame pulley assembly 9 comprises an extension rod 91, a fixed frame 92, a sliding frame 93, a spring 94, a pulley 95 and a connecting element 96.

[0024] The specific working principle of the present application is as follows:

[0025] Referring to Figure 1 When the tank contains a certain height of oil, the gravity sensor 18 transmits the obtained data to the computer 20, and the height of the oil in the tank is accurately calculated, so as to control the hydraulic cylinder 2 to drive the stainless steel connecting frame 3 to slide to the appropriate position in the tank 5, and then the air inlet 12 starts to charge the tank 5 to increase the pressure, so that the elastic compensation sealing ring 11 is tightly attached to the tank wall to form a seal, and the flexible bladder 4 is inflated to tightly attach to the oil surface, eliminating the existence of oil-gas space. In this process, the one-way exhaust valve 15 on the tank wall is opened, so as to discharge the excess gas between the liquid surface and the flexible bladder, and make the flexible bladder 4 better contact with the oil in the tank 5.

[0026] When the oil level in the tank 5 changes, the gravity sensor 18 transmits the real-time data to the computer 20 and accurately calculates the oil level, and then controls the flexible bladder 4 to always maintain good contact with the oil surface.

[0027] The working principle of the connecting frame pulley assembly 9 in the present application is as follows:

[0028] Referring to Figure 3 When the stainless steel connecting frame 3 slides up and down in the tank, even if it has a slight angle of inclination, the sliding frame 93 can slide along the extension rod 91, so as to avoid the chucking phenomenon of the stainless steel connecting frame 3. And under the action of the spring 94, the displacement of the sliding frame 93 is not too large, so as to eliminate the problem of serious inclination of the stainless steel connecting frame 3, so that the stainless steel connecting frame 3 remains stable during lifting.
