After the docking ring 5 and the connecting ring 22 are connected by multiple sets of bolts, the sealing gasket 21 is tightly fitted with the connecting ring 22 and the docking ring 5, thereby improving the sealing between the connecting part of the tank cover 6 and the tank body 1.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 5A drain port 16 is installed at the lower position of the outer surface of one end of the tank body 1, a water inlet 4 is installed at the upper position of the outer surface of the end of the tank body 1 away from the drain port 16, and a steam exhaust port 18 is installed at the upper position of the outer surface of the end of the tank body 1 close to the drain port 16. An oblong opening 20 arranged along the length direction of the tank body 1 is opened at the upper position of the outer surface of the tank body 1, and an upper semicircular sleeve 2 for blocking the oblong opening 20 is provided outside the oblong opening 20. A rubber pad 26 is pasted on the inner surface of the upper semicircular sleeve 2. The rubber pad 26 is made of high-temperature resistant silicone rubber. The rubber pad 26 fits the surface of the tank body 1. After the structure formed by the lower semicircular sleeve 11 and the upper semicircular sleeve 2 is installed on the tank body 1, the rubber pad 26 is between the upper semicircular sleeve 2 and the tank body 1. On the one hand, the rubber pad 26 improves the sealing between the upper semicircular sleeve 2 and the tank body 1, and on the other hand, the rubber pad 26 can be squeezed, thereby providing a buffer for the thermal expansion and contraction of the upper semicircular sleeve 2.

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 A steam inlet 3 is installed at the middle position of the outer surface of the upper semicircular sleeve 2. The lower end of the steam inlet 3 penetrates the rubber pad 26 and the oblong opening 20 and extends to the upper position inside the tank body 1. The lower end of the steam inlet 3 is connected to a steam distribution pipe 24 through a bend pipe 23. The steam distribution pipe 24 is arranged at the lower position inside the tank body 1 and is arranged along the length direction of the tank body 1. A plurality of exhaust pipes 25 are equidistantly installed at the lower position of the outer surface of the steam distribution pipe 24. After high-temperature steam enters the steam distribution pipe 24 through the channel formed by the steam inlet 3 and the bend pipe 23, the high-temperature steam flows into the water in the tank body 1 through a plurality of exhaust pipes 25, thereby heating the water in the tank body 1, thereby achieving the heat storage of steam thermal energy.

[0027] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 The lower part of the outer surface of the tank body 1 is wrapped with a lower semicircular sleeve 11, and both ends of the upper semicircular sleeve 2 are connected and fixed with an upper connecting bar 17. A lower connecting bar 15 is provided directly below the upper connecting bar 17.

There is a gap between the support bar 13 and the lower connecting bar 15. The support bar 13 is connected and fixed to the lower semicircular sleeve 11, and one end of the connecting screw 19 passes through the upper connecting bar 17, the lower connecting bar 15 and the support bar 13 in sequence. The nut 12 is threadedly connected. When the upper semicircular sleeve 2 and the lower semicircular sleeve 11 are connected by means of a connecting screw 19 that cooperates with the nut 12, one end of the connecting screw 19 passes through the upper connecting bar 17, the lower connecting bar 15 and the supporting bar 13 in sequence, and then the nut 12 is screwed onto the connecting screw 19. At this time, under the support of the supporting bar 13, the nut 12 and the lower connecting bar 15 are not in contact. When the nut 12 and the connecting screw 19 cannot be disassembled by conventional tools, the connecting screw 19 can be cut off by using the gap between the supporting bar 13 and the lower connecting bar 15, thereby providing a backup method for disassembling the lower semicircular sleeve 11 and the upper semicircular sleeve 2.

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 A horizontally arranged electric push rod 7 is installed on one side of a support 9, and the movable end of the electric push rod 7 is connected to a fixed connecting ear 10 and connected to the lower semicircular sleeve 11, so that the steam inlet 3 is inserted into the oblong opening 20, and the steam inlet 3 and the steam distribution pipe 24 are connected by a curved pipe 23, wherein the other end of the steam inlet 3 is connected to an external pipeline through a hose. When the electric push rod 7 is controlled to extend and retract, the electric push rod 7 drives the structure formed by the lower semicircular sleeve 11 and the upper semicircular sleeve 2 to slide along the tank body 1, and at this time, the steam inlet 3 is in the oblong opening 20. The position of the steam inlet 3 changes. At this time, the steam distribution pipe 24 is driven to move in the tank body 1 through the bent pipe 23, so that the steam inlet 3 and the steam distribution pipe 24 are moved to different parts of the tank body 1. That is, the relative positions of the steam inlet 3, the steam distribution pipe 24 and the tank body 1 are adjustable, so that the area of ​​the tank body 1 where the steam inlet 3 is installed is heated evenly at the initial stage of passing high-temperature steam, and the part of the tank body 1 where the steam inlet 3 is installed is prevented from being damaged due to stress concentration caused by uneven heating. After the overall temperature of the tank body 1 tends to be stable, the circuit of the electric push rod 7 is cut off.

This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
