Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of external floating roof storage tanks, in particular to an emergency drainage device for external floating roof storage tanks. Background Art

[0002] External floating roof tanks are usually used to store volatile petroleum products such as crude oil, gasoline or kerosene in open cylindrical steel tanks; the external floating roof of the tank rises or falls with the storage level, and there is no space for evaporation compared to fixed-roof tanks without floating roofs; in most cases, an emergency drainage system is provided on the floating roof to ensure that accumulated water can be discharged smoothly on rainy and snowy days to avoid sinking accidents; the emergency drainage device is a safety device on the floating roof of the external floating roof tank. Its function is to prevent the floating roof from tilting or sinking due to excessive accumulated water by setting an emergency drain port when heavy rain occurs and the central drain pipe of the floating roof is too late to drain the accumulated water on the floating roof. By setting an emergency drain port, the accumulated water above a certain height is directly discharged into the tank through the emergency drain port; although this practice causes rainwater to mix with the stored oil, it avoids the risk of the floating plate sinking or becoming unstable.

[0025] In this embodiment, the drainage assembly includes a drainage pipe 101, a water collecting box 102 is arranged on the drainage pipe 101, a rain roof 103 is arranged on the top of the water collecting box 102, four filter screens 104 are installed on the circumference of the water collecting box 102, a water seal box 105 is arranged at the bottom of the drainage pipe 101, six diffuser pipes 106 are evenly arranged on the top of the water seal box 105, the water seal box 105 is filled with water, the bottom of the drainage pipe 101 extends into the water in the water seal box 105, and the filter screen 104 is made of 204 stainless steel Under normal conditions, the rain roof 103 prevents rainwater and debris from entering the water collecting tank 102, and the water seal box 105 filled with water acts as a water seal to prevent oil and gas from overflowing through the drain pipe 101. When the water accumulated on the floating plate exceeds the height of the filter screen 104 around the water collecting tank 102 and needs emergency drainage, the collected water is filtered through the filter screen 104 and enters the water collecting tank 102, and flows into the water seal box 105 through the drain pipe 101, and finally discharged through the diffuser pipe 106 above the water seal box 105 for emergency drainage;

[0026] In this embodiment: the pumping assembly includes a pumping pipe 201, a water collecting pipe 202 is installed on the top of the pumping pipe 201, six water inlet pipes 203 are evenly arranged on the water collecting pipe 202, a pneumatic diaphragm pump 204 is installed on the pumping pipe 201, an air inlet pipe 205 is arranged in front of the pneumatic diaphragm pump 204, a water outlet pipe 206 is installed at the bottom of the pumping pipe 201, a one-way valve 207 is arranged at the bottom of the water outlet pipe 206, the water collecting pipe 202 is annular in shape, the water inlet pipe 203 is welded to the water collecting pipe 202, the gas is increased by the air inlet pipe 205 and transported into the pneumatic diaphragm pump 204, so that the pneumatic diaphragm pump 204 works, and the accumulated water is sucked into the pumping pipe 201 through the water inlet pipe 203 and the water collecting pipe 202, and discharged through the water outlet pipe 206 and the one-way valve 207 at the bottom thereof, which greatly improves the emergency drainage capacity, and the one-way valve 207 is used to prevent oil and gas from overflowing through the pumping pipe 201;

At the same time, the one-way valve 207 prevents oil and gas from overflowing through the pumping pipe 201; when the water accumulated on the floating plate exceeds the height of the filter screen 104 on the circumference of the water collection tank 102 and needs emergency drainage, the collected water is filtered through the filter screen 104 and enters the water collection tank 102, and flows into the water seal box 105 through the drain pipe 101, and finally flows through the diffuser on the water seal box 105. The water pipe 106 is discharged for emergency drainage; when the accumulated water is too much and higher than the water collecting tank 102, the float 305 floats up with the water surface, driving the valve stem 304 to rotate and open the control valve 303, so that the gas in the gas cylinder 301 is transported into the pneumatic diaphragm pump 204 through the gas supply pipe 302 and the air inlet pipe 205, so that the pneumatic diaphragm pump 204 works, and the accumulated water is sucked into the suction pipe 201 through the water inlet pipe 203 and the water collecting pipe 202, and discharged through the water outlet pipe 206 and the one-way valve 207 at its bottom, thereby greatly improving the emergency drainage capacity.
