Abstract

The invention discloses a liquefied natural gas storage tank film structure and a liquefied natural gas storage tank, and belongs to the technical field of liquefied natural gas storage. The liquefied natural gas storage tank film structure comprises a plurality of corrugated plate units which are connected with one another; the corrugated plate unit comprises a base plate, and spherical corrugations and connecting corrugations are formed on the base plate; the spherical corrugation is located in the center of the base plate, the multiple connecting corrugations are located on the periphery of the spherical corrugation, one end of each connecting corrugation is connected and communicated with the spherical corrugation, and the other end of each connecting corrugation extends to the edge of the base plate; every two adjacent corrugated plate units are connected in an edge-to-edge mode, and every two connecting corrugations at the joint are connected and communicated. The liquefied natural gas storage tank film structure has enough deformability, can meet the strength requirement and the fatigue life standard, is simple in overall structure, can be formed through one-time punch forming, simplifies the production process and is suitable for batch production.
