Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of biomedical container equipment manufacturing, in particular to a stainless steel liquid storage tank aseptic flange. Background Art
[0002] Stainless steel liquid storage tanks are widely used in the biomedical equipment manufacturing industry. When installing pipelines or instruments, sterile flanges are used for the heads of liquid storage tanks. However, there may be some special situations where the tank volume is very small, the head area is small, or the tank head requires more flange interfaces.
[0003] The existing sterile flanges are in a single-body form. Considering the influence of various factors such as the head opening, welding operability, and welding deformation, they need a certain gap to be welded to the head of the liquid storage tank. This makes the space and number of sterile flanges that can be installed on the head of the liquid storage tank very limited, which may make it difficult to install the pipes and instruments required on the liquid storage tank. Figure 1 As shown, it can be seen that when the size of the head is fixed, installing two sterile flanges there will not only fail to leave a gap, but may even cause interference. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to provide a flange structure, comprising a flange pressing plate with at least two flange holes, which increases the installation space of the external configuration and improves the installation efficiency when the head area of the liquid storage tank is fixed.

[0009] According to the utility model, further, a sealing ring is arranged between the upper surface and the flange pressure plate, and the position and aperture of the sealing ring correspond to the position and aperture of the flange hole.
[0010] The utility model also provides a liquid storage tank, which has a sealing head as a connection surface, adopts the above-mentioned flange structure, and the flange base is fixedly connected to the sealing head.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0019] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a flange structure, including a flange base 1, the flange base 1 has an upper surface 11, a lower surface 12 opposite to the upper surface, and a through hole 13 penetrating the upper surface 11 and the lower surface 12, the lower surface 12 is welded and fixedly connected or detachably fixedly connected to the head of the liquid storage tank, the position of the through hole 13 corresponds to the position of the connection surface (such as the head of the liquid storage tank), the upper surface 11 is detachably fixedly connected with a flange pressing plate 2, the flange pressing plate 2 has two flange holes 21, the number and position of the through holes 13 correspond to the flange holes 21, and the lower surface 12 of the flange base 1 is fixedly connected to the head of the liquid storage tank. The flange hole 21 is used to install external configurations such as instruments and equipment, and in a limited space, a larger external configuration installation space is added. The position of the through hole 13 corresponds to the position of the head of the liquid storage tank, ensuring that the instrument or instrument installed in the flange hole 21 can be connected to the head of the liquid storage tank. Preferably, the flange pressing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the flange base 1 by bolts 3, which is easy to disassemble and replace. Preferably, the aperture sizes of the two flange holes 21 can be the same or different, corresponding to the size of the instrument connection port.
[0020] Furthermore, the flange pressure plate 2 includes a first connecting section 22 and a second connecting section 23, and the first connecting section 22 is a rectangular plate. The first connecting section 22 has a first side surface 221 and a second side surface 222 that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first side surface 221 and the second side surface 222 are both provided with a first arc groove 4, and the openings of the two first arc grooves 4 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first connecting section 22 is installed in the middle position of the flange base 1. Preferably, the longitudinal center line of the first connecting section 22 coincides with the longitudinal center line of the flange base 1, and the longitudinal direction here is relative to Figure 2 Description; There are two second connecting segments 23, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the first connecting segment 22 about the longitudinal center line of the first connecting segment 22. The second connecting segment 23 has a third side surface 231, and a second arc groove 5 is opened on the third side surface 231. The opening of the second arc groove 5 faces the opening of the corresponding first arc groove 4, and the openings of the two arc grooves together form a flange hole 21. Under the condition of the same head, two flange holes 21 are formed, which increases the installation space of the external configuration, and there will be no problem of mutual interference, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the external configuration.
[0021] Furthermore, in order to improve the installation efficiency, the flange pressure plate 2 can have three or more flange holes 21. If there are three flange holes 21, two first connecting sections 22 need to be set in the middle to form a flange hole 21 located in the middle, and the two second connecting sections 23 are located on the left and right sides to form flange holes 21 located on both sides; the same applies to more than three flange holes 21, and a first connecting section 22 can be added in the middle.
[0022] In order to improve the sealing performance, a sealing ring 6 is arranged between the upper surface 11 and the flange pressing plate 2, and the position and aperture of the sealing ring 6 correspond to the position and aperture of the flange hole 21. When the flange hole 21 is required to connect an instrument or meter, the flange pressing plate 2 presses the sealing ring 6 to achieve the peripheral sealing of the flange hole 21, thereby improving the sealing performance of the flange pressing plate 2 and the flange base 1.
[0023] When the flange hole 21 is not needed, such as when cleaning the liquid storage tank, the instrument or device is removed and the blind plate 7 blocks the opening of the flange hole 21 .
