Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of oil storage, and in particular relates to an oil and gas balance system. Background Art
[0002] During the oil storage process, in order to prevent the leakage of oil and gas in the oil tank and reduce safety risks such as fire and explosion, nitrogen is usually filled into the oil tank as a protective gas. When the nitrogen concentration decreases, it is repeatedly filled. When the external temperature changes, the air pressure in the tank changes, and the negative pressure formed causes damage to the tank. The current method is to install a breathing valve at the exhaust hole. This method requires repeated filling of nitrogen, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly.
[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a nitrogen filling device for oil tanks (authorization announcement number CN208070544U). This patented technology allows a flexible airbag to shrink and reduce its volume when the external temperature or air pressure changes, and to add nitrogen to the oil tank; or to buffer the nitrogen that expands and overflows from the oil tank, thereby automatically replenishing or buffering nitrogen according to changes in temperature and air pressure, and realizing free exchange of nitrogen in the oil tank and in the airbag. When the nitrogen loss volume or concentration reaches a certain level, the nitrogen filling device can be used to directly replenish the oil tank or airbag. The operation is convenient and the maintenance is simple, which reduces the operating cost of nitrogen replenishment and maintenance.
[0004] However, it still has disadvantages: it maintains the nitrogen concentration in the oil tank by the free exchange of nitrogen in the oil tank and nitrogen in the air bag. However, since the oil and gas will continue to evaporate, a mixed gas of nitrogen and oil and gas is formed in the oil tank. As the oil and gas continue to evaporate, the oil and gas content in the mixed gas will gradually increase, which will cause the oil and gas content in the air bag to increase. There is still a risk of oil and gas combustion and explosion caused by lightning strikes and static electricity. In addition, its concentration is increased by supplementing nitrogen, and the production cost of nitrogen is high, so its overall maintenance cost is very high. Utility Model Content

[0027] In the present application, the valve 5 is preferably an electric valve, and the valve 5 and the third air pipe 7 are both connected to the inside of the oil tank 26 .
[0028] In the present application, the oil gas and nitrogen mixed gas in the oil tank 26 enters the balance box 1 through the air intake mechanism 2, is screened by the screening membrane 16, and is discharged back to the oil tank 26 through the third air pipe 7.
[0029] In the present application, the screening membrane 16 can allow nitrogen to pass through and block the oil and gas; the screening membrane 16 includes a solid frame and a membrane body installed inside the frame, and the membrane body is any one of a polyimide membrane, a polysulfone membrane, and a ceramic membrane.
[0030] In the present application, the detection ends of the first gas sensor 12 and the second gas sensor 13 are both located inside the oil tank 26; the first gas sensor 12 is a PID sensor for detecting the oil and gas content; the second gas sensor 13 is a nitrogen sensor for detecting the nitrogen content.

The motor 20 is installed on the lower surface of the interior of the second chamber 18, and the adjustment rod 21 is rotatably connected to the front and rear surfaces of the interior of the second chamber 18. A first gear 22 is installed on the output end of the adjustment rod 21, and a second gear 23 is installed on the outside of the adjustment rod 21. The first gear 22 is meshed and connected to the second gear 23. The outside of the adjustment rod 21 is located at the rear side of the second gear 23 and is threadedly connected with an adjustment block 24. The adjustment block 24 penetrates and is slidably connected to the inner wall between the first chamber 15 and the second chamber 18, and an electromagnet 25 is installed on the right end of the adjustment block 24.
[0035] In the present application, the front and rear surfaces of the screening membrane 16 inside the balancing box 1 are flush with the front and rear surfaces of the balancing box 1 ; an openable box door is provided on the upper surface of the replacement box 10 for adding the screening membrane 16 .
[0036] In the present application, the screening membrane 16 in the first chamber 15 is slidably connected inside the first chamber 15 , and its outer surface is movably fitted with the inner surface of the first chamber 15 ; the front surface of the iron block 17 is flush with the front surface of the screening membrane 16 .

Each time it is started, it extends a certain distance, which can drive the screening membrane 16 on the far left inside the first chamber 15 to fit the inner wall between the first chamber 15 and the second chamber 18; at this time, the rear surface of the electromagnet 25 just fits the iron block 17.
[0038] In the present application, a hole is opened on the rear surface of the replacement box 10, which is opposite to the screening membrane 16 and is the same as the front surface of the screening membrane 16; the motor 20 drives the adjusting rod 21 to rotate, which can drive the electromagnet 25 to slide backward, drive the screening membrane 16 inside the first chamber 15 to enter the balance box 1, and squeeze out the screening membrane 16 originally in the balance box 1, so as to automatically replace the screening membrane 16; a box for receiving the fallen screening membrane 16 is installed on the oil tank 26; the telescopic cylinder 14, the electromagnet 25, and the motor 20 are all electrically connected to the external control system, so as to perform automatic start and stop operation.
[0039] The working principle of the utility model is:
[0040] When the first gas sensor 12 and the second gas sensor 13 detect that the oil and gas content in the oil tank 26 is much greater than the nitrogen content, the valve 5 and the fan 3 are opened, and the fan 3 draws the mixed gas in the oil tank 26 into the balance box 1. When the mixed gas passes through the screening membrane 16, the nitrogen passes through, and the oil and gas are blocked. As the temperature decreases, it liquefies and flows into the collection tank 9, thereby reducing the oil and gas content; when the first gas sensor 12 and the second gas sensor 13 detect that the oil and gas content in the oil tank 26 is close to the nitrogen content, the valve 5 and the fan 3 are closed; at regular intervals (when the valve 5 is closed), the electric The magnet 25 is powered off, and the motor 20 drives the adjusting rod 21 to rotate through the first gear 22 and the second gear 23, driving the adjusting block 24 to move forward to the head, and then the telescopic cylinder 14 starts to drive the leftmost screening membrane 16 in the first chamber 15 to move to face the electromagnet 25, and the electromagnet 25 starts to attract the iron block 17 on the screening membrane 16. The motor 20 starts again to drive the adjusting block 24 to move backward, thereby pushing the screening membrane 16 in the balance box 1 out, driving the screening membrane 16 in the first chamber 15 to lift the position of the screening membrane 16 in the balance box 1, thereby completing the replacement of the screening membrane 16.
