Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cryogenic storage tank weld quality detectors, in particular to a weld and ground deviation angle quality detector for an ultra-large LNG cryogenic storage tank. Background Art
[0002] Ultra-large LNG cryogenic storage tanks are equipment specially used to store liquefied natural gas (LNG). Their design and manufacturing require highly specialized technologies and materials. Ultra-large LNG cryogenic storage tanks usually adopt a double-layer vacuum structure. The inner liner is used to store low-temperature liquid LNG, and the space between the inner and outer layers is filled with pearlescent sand or vacuum wrapped to achieve thermal insulation.
[0003] Welding of ultra-large LNG cryogenic storage tanks is a critical step in the tank construction process. The welding quality and process directly affect the safety and service life of the tank. Tank welding involves welding metal plates together to form a single layer of tank. Layers are then welded upwards to form a complete tank.
[0004] However, in some coastal areas, such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, ultra-large LNG cryogenic storage tanks are generally built close to the sea, and the surface sand layer in this area is prone to settlement. Because the construction area of the tank is large, as the tank is erected layer by layer, and the overall weight of the tank increases, the deviation angle between the tank wall and the ground will not be completely vertical. There is a deviation angle between the metal welding plate and the ground, especially at the bottom, which is more important. If the inspection is not timely, as the tank is built upward layer by layer, it is easy to cause damage to the entire tank body or serious consequences, or require large-scale repairs. The existing inspection equipment for the welds of the tank welding parts does not have this function. If inspection is required, it must be carried out after completion, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is impossible to detect problems and provide feedback in time.
[0005] Therefore, it is particularly important to design a super-large LNG cryogenic storage tank weld and ground deviation angle quality detector that can detect the longitudinal or annular conditions of the tank weld, as well as the deviation angle between the tank surface and the ground, and can quickly alert the background staff.

[0055] A ground deviation angle detection module 4 is provided on the bottom side of the main vehicle side panel 201, and a base 401 is provided on the ground deviation angle detection module 4. The base 401 is connected to the bottom sides of the two main vehicle side panels 201. A slot is provided in the middle part of the base 401, and a bidirectional screw rod 408 is provided in the slot. The spiral patterns at both ends of the bidirectional screw rod 408 are opposite. The bidirectional screw rod 408 is driven by a motor to rotate in the slot. Sliding blocks 402 are provided on both ends of the bidirectional screw rod 408. The sliding blocks 402 are provided with internal threads that match the two ends of the bidirectional screw rod 408. The sliding blocks 402 are rotated by the rotation of the bidirectional screw rod 408 to achieve the approach and distance between the sliding blocks 402 on both sides. A fixed plate 403 and an adjustment plate are provided, and the fixed plate 403 and the adjustment plate are connected by a lifting rod 404. A level sensor is provided on the adjustment plate to detect the level of the adjustment plate, and then transmit the information to the processing module 407 via a wireless signal. The adjustment plate is provided with an infrared transmitter 406 and a processing module 407. The processing module 407 is also provided with an infrared receiver, which can receive the reflected infrared laser to determine the distance. The fixed plate 403 and the adjustment plate are connected with a side plate 405. A pin is provided at the connection between the adjustment plate and the side, which enables the adjustment plate to rotate on the side via the pin. The processing module is provided with a battery and a control processor to process the transmitted signal. Side panel cameras 210 are provided on both sides of the main vehicle side panel 201. A side camera 211 is provided in the direction of movement of the detection vehicle to detect the vehicle's route when the vehicle is in motion.
[0056] Working principle: the side panel cameras 210 on both sides of the main vehicle side panel 201 first shoot the tank pipe wall, and transmit the captured information to the processing module 407 via Bluetooth. At the same time, the horizontal sensors in the two adjustment plates start to detect and determine whether the adjustment plates are at a horizontal angle. If they are not at a horizontal angle, the signal is sent to the processing module 407. The processing module 407 controls the lifting rod 404 to adjust the adjustment plate to deflect the adjustment plate and put the adjustment plate in a horizontal position. After it is horizontal, the signal is sent to the processing module 407 and the lifting rod stops. At this time, the processing module 407 judges the distance between the infrared transmitters 406 on both sides and the tank pipe wall through the visual capture signal of the side panel cameras 210 on both sides, and controls the rotation of the two-way screw rod 408. At this time, the two sliding blocks 402 move relative to each other to align the infrared transmitter 406 with the inner and outer tank side walls. At this time, the horizontal sensor in the adjustment plate performs a detection and judgment to prevent offset when sliding on the two-way screw rod 408. The infrared transmitter 406 irradiates along the inner and outer tank walls. When the infrared laser is reflected on the ground and returned to the infrared receiver in the processing module 407, the processing module 407 calculates the height distance between the inner and outer walls based on the time of reflection. Then, the deviation angle of the tank wall from the ground is calculated based on the height distance. If the calculated deviation angle exceeds the rated value, a signal is immediately sent to the background staff to go to the site for investigation.
