As a clean energy source, liquefied natural gas plays an important role in the energy industry. Storage tanks are required for the transportation and storage of liquefied natural gas.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent discloses: a liquefied natural gas storage and transportation tank, announcement number: CN211371908U, which is equipped with an alarm, a waterstop, a partition plate, contacts and an insulating plate. When the waterstop expands when encountering water, the insulating plate can be pushed outward, so that the contacts on one side of the two insulating plates approach each other until they are squeezed and contacted with each other. Therefore, the battery, the alarm and the two contacts form a closed circuit, and an alarm sound is issued to remind the transportation personnel that a leakage has occurred.

[0004] However, in the process of implementing the above technical solutions, it was found that at least the following technical problems exist: since the storage and transportation tanks are mostly designed to be cylindrical in shape, during transportation, as the vehicle turns and accelerates and decelerates, the liquefied natural gas will shake and vibrate in the tank, causing the tank body to move and bump, affecting the stability of the liquefied natural gas storage tank, which is not conducive to safe transportation.
