[0035] The filling structure 2 is located between the tank body 1 and the insulation board 6; LNG (liquefied natural gas) storage tanks are containers specifically used to store LNG at low temperatures, usually about -162°C (-260°F) to keep it in liquid form. These tanks are a key component of the LNG supply chain, enabling efficient storage and transportation of natural gas in a compact form. Studies have shown that the global LNG storage tank market size will reach approximately US$5.71 billion in 2023. Driven by the growing demand for liquefied natural gas as a cleaner and more efficient energy source, the market is expected to grow at an annual rate of 4.6% between 2024 and 2032, reaching nearly US$8.57 billion by 2032;

[0036] The film storage tank uses a stainless steel plate with a thickness of about 1-2 mm, and an expansion joint is pressed out, which is anchored with the cold insulation polyurethane module, and the polyurethane is bonded to the concrete outer tank. In this way, the inner and outer tanks are integrated, and the seismic performance is better. In addition, the film of the inner tank shrinks and expands in situ, and changes with temperature like a flat spring, which can meet the needs of rapid reheating and rapid precooling of LNG storage tanks.

The filling structure 2 has a low thermal conductivity, high strength, and is easy to install. It has good resilience and can fill the gaps more tightly to reduce heat conduction.

[0049] The telescopic rod 508 can push the movable plate 507 to move, and then push the mounting seat 506 to move. The mounting seat 506 can push the positioning plate 502 to move along the vertically distributed guide plate 503 through the first support plate 504 and the second support plate 505, so that the two positioning plates 502 can approach each other or move away from each other. The positioning plates 502 are close to each other and can clamp the filling structure 2 in the middle, fix the position between the glass fiber cloth 203 and the first glass wool board 201 and the second glass wool board 202. At this time, when the tape is wrapped, the glass fiber cloth 203 is not easy to move, and the winding of the tape is more convenient, which can speed up the winding work of the horizontal tape 205 and the vertical tape 204, and speed up the forming speed of the filling structure 2.
