[0002] A floating tray is a device used to store liquids, especially in the petrochemical industry. It is a large tray that floats on the surface of the liquid and is usually used to reduce the evaporation loss of the liquid. The floating tray can effectively cover the surface of the liquid, thereby reducing the contact area between the liquid and the air, and thus reducing the evaporation rate. In addition, the floating tray can also help prevent pollution and reduce the risk of fire. When designing and using a floating tray, factors such as the nature of the liquid, storage conditions, and the material and structure of the floating tray need to be considered to ensure that it works safely and effectively.

[0035] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 This application is described in further detail.

[0036] Embodiment 1: This embodiment discloses a flexible floating plate.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A flexible floating plate includes a floating plate 1 formed by a plurality of floating boxes 11. The floating plate 1 is formed according to the shape of a liquid storage tank. An air bag 3 is arranged circumferentially on the outer side of the floating plate 1. The air bag 3 fills the gap between the floating plate 1 and the side wall of the liquid storage tank by inflation.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The pontoon 11 adopts a cubic structure with a hexagonal cross-section. Two symmetrical diagonals along the middle axis of the pontoon 11 are integrally formed with positioning blocks 13. Two positioning pins 14 are symmetrically arranged on the positioning blocks 13. The two positioning pins 14 are spaced a certain distance from the pontoon 11. The diagonals on the pontoon 11 between the two positioning blocks 13 are recessed inward to form positioning grooves 15. The depth of the positioning grooves 15 is consistent with the thickness of the positioning blocks 13. A positioning hole 12 is opened on the bottom surface of the positioning grooves 15. The positioning hole 12 passes through the pontoon 11. When the pontoons 11 are combined, the corners of the three pontoons 11 are connected to each other. The positioning grooves 15 on the two pontoons 11 cooperate to form a complete trough body. The corners of the other pontoon 11 with the positioning blocks 13 are connected to the other two pontoons 11. The positioning block 13 is embedded in the trough body formed by the combination of the positioning grooves 15 set in the two pontoons 11. The two positioning pins 14 on the positioning block 13 are respectively inserted into the positioning holes set on the bottom surface of the positioning grooves 15 12, the three buoyancy boxes 11 are combined into a whole by the cooperation of the locating pins 14 and the locating holes 12. After the locating block 13 is embedded in the locating groove 15, the surface of the locating block 13 is flush with the surface of the buoyancy box 11. A limiting plate 2 is provided at the connection between the locating block 13 and the buoyancy box 11. Two threaded holes 16 are provided at the edge of the locating groove 15 on the buoyancy box 11. The limiting plate 2 is fixed to the buoyancy box 11 by the cooperation of the screws and the threaded holes 16. The limiting plate 2 extends to the bottom surface of the locating block 13, thereby axially limiting the locating block 13 to prevent the locating block 13 from detaching from the buoyancy box 11. The gap set between the two adjacent buoyancy boxes 11 after being connected makes a certain compensation space between the two adjacent buoyancy boxes 11, so that relative movement can be generated between the floating plates 1. A flexible sealing strip is provided inside the gap to improve the overall sealing performance of the floating plate 1. At the same time, the sealing strip buffers the movement between the buoyancy boxes 11 to prevent damage caused by collision between the two buoyancy boxes 11.

[0039] The implementation principle of a flexible floating plate in this embodiment is: The number of floats 11 is set according to the shape and size of the liquid storage tank. The floats 11 are arranged in a honeycomb shape, and the corners of three adjacent floats 11 are connected to each other. The positioning block 13 on one float 11 is matched and connected with the positioning grooves 15 on the other two floats 11, and is axially fixed and limited by a limit plate 2 fixedly installed on the float 11. A plurality of floats 11 are combined to form a floating plate 1. An air bag is circumferentially arranged on the edge of the floating plate 1. After the floating plate 1 is arranged inside the liquid storage tank, the air bag is inflated to fill the gap between the floating plate 1 and the liquid storage tank. When the liquid inside the liquid storage tank moves, since there is space for relative movement between adjacent floats 11 in the floating plate 1, the floating plate 1 can move with the movement of the liquid, so that the floating plate 1 always floats on the surface of the liquid, preventing leakage and volatilization of the liquid, and improving the sealing performance and anti-evaporation performance of the floating plate 1.

[0040] Embodiment 2: The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the positioning block 13 in this embodiment is an independent component. In this embodiment, the pontoon 11 can be a regular polygonal cube with any number of sides greater than or equal to four. The corners of the pontoon 11 are all recessed inward to form a positioning groove 15. When the pontoon 11 is a quadrilateral, the positioning groove 15 is set to an arc with an angle of 90 degrees. The corners of the four pontoons 11 are combined to form a circular positioning groove 15. Four positioning pins 14 are correspondingly set on the positioning block 13. When the positioning block 13 is embedded in the positioning groove 15, the positioning pin 1 4 is inserted and arranged inside the positioning hole 12, and the four floating boxes 11 are connected to form a whole through the cooperation of the positioning pin 14 and the positioning hole 12. The bottom surfaces of the four floating boxes 11 are all provided with a quarter-circular arc-shaped limiting plate 2, and the limiting plate 2 extends to the bottom surface of the positioning block 13 to limit the positioning block 13. There is a set gap between the four floating boxes 11, and a sealing strip is arranged in the middle of the gap. When the liquid storage tank is rectangular, the floating box 11 is arranged in a quadrilateral, so that the assembled floating plate 1 can adapt to the size of the liquid storage tank and fit the liquid storage tank tightly, thereby improving the sealing performance of the floating plate 1.

[0041] Embodiment three: The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, in this embodiment, a sphere is arranged at the end of the positioning pin 14, and a positioning hole 12 with a spherical inner wall is arranged inside the positioning groove 15. When two adjacent pontoons 11 are connected, the positioning block 13 is embedded in the positioning groove 15, and the sphere at the end of the positioning pin 14 is inserted into the positioning hole 12 with a spherical inner wall. The positioning pin 14 and the positioning hole 12 form a ball hinge structure, so that the two adjacent pontoons 11 can move in any direction through the ball hinge structure, expanding the amplitude of relative movement between the two pontoons 11, thereby further improving the flexibility of the floating plate 1 and improving the sealing effect of the floating plate 1.

[0042] In summary, the float in the present application is formed by a combination of multiple float boxes, and the size of the float can be freely set according to the size of the liquid storage tank, which expands the scope of application of the float. The float boxes are detachably connected by positioning blocks and positioning grooves, which are convenient for disassembly and assembly. The gaps set between adjacent float boxes make the float as a whole flexible and can move with the movement of the liquid, thereby improving the sealing effect of the float and reducing the evaporation rate of the liquid. In the present application, the float boxes are detachably connected by positioning blocks and positioning grooves, and the positioning blocks and positioning grooves are also provided with matching positioning pins and positioning holes. A limiting plate is provided on the float box, and the radial limiting of the float box is achieved by the matching of the positioning pins and positioning holes, and the axial limiting of the float box is achieved by the limiting plate, which effectively improves the structural strength of the connection between the float boxes, improves the stability of the overall structure of the float, and thus improves the sealing effect of the float. Therefore, the present application effectively overcomes the various shortcomings in the prior art and has a high industrial utilization value.

[0043] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or change the above embodiments without violating the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed in the present application shall still be included in the protection scope of the present application.
