[0013] The following detailed, non-limiting description of the technical solution of the present invention, in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings, is provided. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0014] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-5The present invention provides a technical solution: a marine cryogenic tank, including a tank assembly 1, a shock-absorbing assembly, and a cold insulation system connected to the tank assembly 1 and the shock-absorbing assembly. The tank assembly 1 is used to store liquid and maintain liquid properties. The shock-absorbing assembly is used to improve the stability of the tank assembly 1 when used on a ship. The cold insulation system is used to judge and ensure the low temperature state of the liquid in the tank in real time, and to make timely monitoring and early warning to ensure the safety of liquid use.

[0015] refer to Figure 1 The shock absorption component includes a truss 2, which adopts a multi-member interlaced integrated welding method to improve support stability. The tank assembly 1 is set above the truss 2. Under normal use, the tank assembly 1 and the truss 2 are in a non-contact state. The bottom of the truss 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ship, and the upper end of the truss 2 is fixedly connected to a pad 29.

[0016] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The shock absorption assembly also includes a support component and an adjustment component. The support component is used to support the tank assembly 1, and the adjustment component is used to apply and adjust the support force on the tank assembly 1 in a timely manner to further improve the support stability of the tank. The supporting components include a first I-beam 5, a second I-beam 7, and a third I-beam 9, which are evenly arranged inside the truss 2 and fixed to the contacting hull bottom. The upper ends of the first I-beam 5, the second I-beam 7, and the third I-beam 9 are set with a certain curvature. A set of first damping shock absorbers 6, a set of second damping shock absorbers 8, and a set of third damping shock absorbers 10 are respectively hinged on the middle two sides of the first I-beam 5, the second I-beam 7, and the third I-beam 9. When the hull tilts, they play a certain role in shock absorption and stabilization.

[0017] The upper surfaces of the first I-beam frame 5, the second I-beam frame 7, and the third I-beam frame 9 are all connected with anti-slip pads 16. The anti-slip pads 16 are used to increase the friction between the contacting objects, and can be easily replaced with anti-slip pads 16 of appropriate size and thickness according to the tank size within a certain size range allowed by the tank, thereby improving the applicability of the support components.

[0018] A semi-ring frame 3 is connected to the lower surface of the tank assembly 1. The lower surface of the semi-ring frame 3 is in contact with the anti-slip pad 16. The semi-ring frame 3 facilitates the adjustment of the support force of the adjustment components on the tank assembly 1 as a whole, while preventing wear on the surface of the tank assembly 1.

[0019] The adjustment components include a first telescopic part 11, a second telescopic part 12, a third telescopic part 13, and a fourth telescopic part 14, including but not limited to electric telescopic rods, hydraulic cylinder structures, or pneumatic cylinder structures, each connected to its respective starting power source. The bottom of the first telescopic part 11 and the second telescopic part 12 are fixedly connected to a first base plate, and the bottom of the third telescopic part 13 and the fourth telescopic part 14 are fixedly connected to a second base plate. The first base plate and the second base plate are both fixedly connected to the bottom of the ship and are respectively located between the first I-frame 5 and the second I-frame 7, and between the second I-frame 7 and the third I-frame 9. The top of the first telescopic part 11, the second telescopic part 12, the third telescopic part 13, and the fourth telescopic part 14 are all hinged with contact blocks, which can apply a supporting force to the semi-ring frame 3 and increase the friction between them.

[0020] The tank assembly 1 includes an outer shell 21, and an inner liner 22 is provided inside the outer shell 21. The inner liner 22 is used to store cryogenic liquid and withstand pressure and low temperature. An insulation cavity 23 is provided between the outer shell 21 and the inner liner 22. Annular supports 24 are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the inner liner 22 and inside the insulation cavity 23 to support and connect the inner liner 22. It should be noted that the outer shell 21 is made of container steel, the inner liner 22 is made of cryogenic alloy steel, and the insulation cavity 23 is filled with perlite. refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 The tank assembly 1 also includes an inlet pipe 17, a first outlet pipe 18, and a vacuum pipe 19. The vacuum pipe 19 is connected to an external vacuum pump pipe and is used to evacuate the inside of the insulation chamber 23. One end of the inlet pipe 17 and the first outlet pipe 18 penetrates the surface of the inner liner 22 and is used for the entry and exit of liquid, respectively.

[0021] The cold insulation system includes a booster vaporizer 27, which is installed outside the tank assembly 1 and its installation height is lower than the lowest liquid level of the tank assembly 1. The booster vaporizer 27 can be an ambient temperature vaporizer. The principle of the booster vaporizer 27 is to use external heat to vaporize a small amount of low-temperature liquid into gas, which is then returned to the gas phase space of the container to pressurize the gas. The inner liner 22 has a gas pipe 26 and a second liquid outlet pipe 25 connected to the upper and lower parts of one side of its interior. The end of the second liquid outlet pipe 25 located outside the tank assembly 1 is connected to a pipe on one side of the booster vaporizer 27. The end of the gas pipe 26 located outside the tank assembly 1 is connected to a pipe on the other side of the booster vaporizer 27. A booster valve 28 is installed on this pipe for pressurization judgment. When the outlet pressure of the booster valve 28 is lower than the set value, it will open; when the pressure returns to above the set value, it will close. A control processor 4 is fixedly connected to the front side of the truss 2. The control processor 4 is connected to the cold insulation system and the shock absorption components. A control panel and control buttons are provided on the outer surface of the control processor 4 to receive detection data and make adjustments to the usage status of the tank.

[0022] In this embodiment, the truss 2 is pre-fixed to the envisioned ship bottom. Then, the first I-beam 5, the first base plate, the second I-beam 7, the second base plate, and the third I-beam 9 are interlaced and fixed to the ship bottom inside the truss 2 to complete the position fixation of the shock absorption component. Then, the semi-ring frame 3 is placed on the support component and contacts the anti-slip pad 16. Finally, the tank assembly 1 is placed inside the semi-ring frame 3. After the placement position is calibrated, the semi-ring frame 3 is fixed to the outer surface of the tank assembly 1. The fixing connection method includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit, plug-in, and bolt connection. The two parts of the connector are respectively set on the outer surface of the semi-ring frame 3 and the tank assembly 1. After the placement position is calibrated, the fixing connection is performed. It should be noted that this fixing connection method is not shown in the figure. After the connection, the semi-ring frame 3 will cause the tank assembly 1 to change.

[0023] After the tank assembly 1 is installed, the cold insulation system and the corresponding pipes connected to the tank assembly 1 are connected in sequence. Specifically, when the liquid is discharged from the first outlet pipe 18, the liquid level in the inner liner 22 will drop, the internal gas phase space will increase, and the internal pressure will drop. When the pressure in the inner liner 22 is lower than the set value of the pressure boosting valve 28, the liquid in the inner liner 22 will flow to the pressure boosting vaporizer 27 through the liquid level difference. Then the liquid vaporizes and is replenished to the inner liner 22 through the pressure boosting valve 28 and the gas pipe 26, so that the internal pressure of the inner liner 22 rises. When the pressure rises and reaches the set value of the pressure boosting valve 28, the pressure boosting valve 28 closes, thereby keeping the internal pressure and temperature in a balanced state.

[0024] When the hull tilts, the tilt of the tank assembly 1 is reduced by the installation of the first damping shock absorber 6, the second damping shock absorber 8, and the third damping shock absorber 10.

[0025] Example 2, based on Example 1, adds the following structure, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 The first I-beam frame 5 has a first front pressure detection unit 15 and a first rear pressure detection unit 30 respectively on the front and rear sides of its upper surface. Similarly, the second I-beam frame 7 has a second front pressure detection unit and a second rear pressure detection unit respectively on the front and rear sides of its upper surface. The third I-beam frame 9 has a third front pressure detection unit and a third rear pressure detection unit respectively on the front and rear sides of its upper surface. The first front pressure detection unit 15, the first rear pressure detection unit 30, the second front pressure detection unit, the second rear pressure detection unit, the third front pressure detection unit, and the third rear pressure detection unit are all located below the corresponding anti-slip pads 16. The first front pressure detection unit 15, the first rear pressure detection unit 30, the second front pressure detection unit, the second rear pressure detection unit, the third front pressure detection unit, and the third rear pressure detection unit constitute a pressure monitoring component, which is used to determine the degree of tilt of the tank and facilitate the control and adjustment components to provide precise support to the tank. The initial pressure values ​​of the first front pressure detection unit 15, the first rear pressure detection unit 30, the second front pressure detection unit, the second rear pressure detection unit, the third front pressure detection unit, and the third rear pressure detection unit after the tank is installed are F1 and F1, respectively. ’ F2, F2 ’ F3, F3 ’ ; The real-time pressure values ​​detected by the first front pressure detection unit 15, the first rear pressure detection unit 30, the second front pressure detection unit, the second rear pressure detection unit, the third front pressure detection unit, and the third rear pressure detection unit are recorded as f1, f1 ’ f2, f2 ’ f3, f3 ’ .

[0026] Among them, the control processor 4 simultaneously monitors the tilt degree of the tank and the actual pressure difference changes, and takes corresponding measures, specifically: First, the tilt of the tank has a certain directionality, as referenced Figure 6 The area where the adjustment component is located is divided into areas A, B, C, and D, which correspond to the support areas of the first telescopic part 11, the second telescopic part 12, the third telescopic part 13, and the fourth telescopic part 14 in sequence. Establish a function to find the extreme values, denoted as {f1, f2}. ’ f2, f2 ’ f3, f3 ’} MAX The system selects three maximum values ​​and compares them with their corresponding initial pressure values ​​to determine the following X tilt scenarios. When all three maximum values ​​are within the allowable pressure multiple of the corresponding initial pressure value, no adjustment is needed for the adjustment components, indicating a low degree of tilt. This allowable pressure multiple is set manually and depends on the shock absorption capacity of the support components and the natural environment conditions, and is usually taken as 1 to 1.2. When at least two of the three maximum values ​​are real-time pressure values ​​that exceed the allowable pressure multiple of their corresponding initial pressure values, it indicates a high degree of tilt. It should be noted that, according to the present invention, the adjustment component and support component are arranged with reference to... Figure 6 It is unlikely that only one real-time pressure value will change. Furthermore, since the tilt has a certain directionality, the three maximum values ​​are adjacent. Therefore, when a high degree of tilt occurs, the adjustment plan is as follows: If the maximum values ​​are f1 and f2 ’When f1 and f3 are in the same position, it indicates that the tank assembly 1 is tilted forward as a whole. The second telescopic part 12 and the fourth telescopic part 14 in the A and B areas extend to provide support. The extension length of the first telescopic part 11 and the second telescopic part 12 is determined according to the size of f1 and f3. If the maximum value is f1, f1 ’ When the tank assembly 1 is tilted to the right, the second telescopic part 11 and the first telescopic part 12 in areas A and C extend to provide support. The extension length of the first telescopic part 11 and the second telescopic part 12 is determined according to the size of f1 and f3. Similarly, when the whole structure tilts backward and to the left, the two corresponding telescopic parts extend to provide support when the maximum values ​​are on the same straight line. If the maximum values ​​are f1 and f2 ’ f1 ’ When this occurs, it indicates that the tank assembly 1 is tilted to the right front, and the second telescopic part 12 in area A extends out to provide support; Similarly, when the whole structure tilts to the right rear, left front, and left rear, and the maximum value forms a triangle, a corresponding telescopic part in the middle extends out to provide support. The length of the extended portion supported by the corresponding telescopic part is positively correlated with the pressure it receives.

[0027] This enables the determination of the tilt degree of tank component 1, and provides precise support in the specific tilt direction and applies precise support length based on the magnitude and location of the detected real-time pressure value.

[0028] In Example 3, based on Example 2, a differential pressure detection unit 20 is provided in the middle of the semi-ring frame 3. This unit is used to detect the vertical pressure value applied by the tank assembly 1 in real time, and to obtain the difference between the actual differential pressure change and the ideal differential pressure change by comparison. At the same time, the liquid leakage problem can be judged based on the difference value. Specifically, the ideal differential pressure range of the differential pressure detection unit 20 is recorded as [⊿G1, ⊿G2], which is the ideal differential pressure range obtained under the condition that the pressure inside the tank is maintained within a certain range under the action of the booster vaporizer 27 and the booster valve 28, and stored in the control processor 4; The real-time differential pressure of the differential pressure detection unit 20 is recorded as ΔG. S The differential pressure detection unit 20 transmits the real-time differential pressure to the control processor 4 in real time, establishes a real-time differential pressure curve, and compares it with the ideal differential pressure range for reference. Figure 7 ⊿G S -T curve, where T is the detection runtime.

[0029] When a tilt occurs in a single direction, the liquid flow within tank assembly 1 exhibits directional characteristics. However, when the tilt reaches a high degree, forming a triangular shape at its maximum value (i.e., multi-directional tilt), it indicates that the liquid flow within tank assembly 1 is non-directional, and the stability of the stored liquid is poor. The direction of this tilt will be determined based on the magnitude of the tilt and the real-time pressure difference ΔG. S Determine if a leakage problem exists and whether to issue a timely warning at control processor 4 to improve the safety of device use.

[0030] Specifically, a dangerous tilt coefficient a is set, which is taken from the pressure multiple. When the multiple between the maximum pressure value corresponding to the extended telescopic part and the initial pressure value reaches the dangerous tilt coefficient a, it indicates that the liquid fluctuation in the inner cavity 22 is high; otherwise, it is considered a stable condition. When multiple tilting occurs during liquid drainage, the real-time pressure difference of G should be measured first. S Comparison with the ideal differential pressure range: When the real-time pressure difference G S As long as the pressure differential remains within the ideal range, the drainage process continues; When the real-time pressure difference G S When phenomena outside the ideal pressure differential range occur: If the liquid experiences a phenomenon outside the ideal differential pressure range within a certain allowable fluctuation time t, but is considered to be a stable liquid condition, the draining process continues. If the liquid exhibits a phenomenon outside the ideal differential pressure range within a certain allowable fluctuation time t, but is considered to have high liquid volatility, the draining process is suspended until a stable condition is reached. If the liquid fluctuates beyond a certain allowable time t and is outside the ideal pressure differential range, the control processor 4 issues a warning. Scenario 1: When the liquid fluctuates significantly, drainage is suspended until the situation stabilizes. Scenario 2: When the liquid is stable, the pressure booster valve 28's set value is adjusted to increase the internal air intake. If the real-time pressure differential G is still present... S If the pressure difference is outside the ideal range, a leakage problem exists, and an alarm should be triggered.

[0031] When not discharging liquid, regardless of whether the liquid is highly volatile or stable, when the real-time pressure difference G... S If a phenomenon occurs that is outside the ideal pressure differential range, the control processor will issue a timely warning and notify the staff to carry out maintenance.

[0032] Through the above process, the system can intelligently determine the leakage of liquid in the tank based on real-time pressure difference changes and tilt conditions, and issue timely warnings to improve the safety of the equipment.
