Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of liquid petrochemical product storage tank feeding systems, and in particular relates to a novel storage tank feeding distributor. Background Art

[0002] Large storage tanks are important facilities for the storage and transportation of liquids such as petroleum and petrochemical products. In order to prevent static electricity accumulation, reduce the impact of feed on the floating roof or other tank accessories, and ensure the safe operation of the storage tank, reasonable devices should be used to reduce the feed speed and disperse the feed flow, especially for storage tanks with assembled internal floating roofs, the feed speed should not be greater than 1m / s.

[0003] There are two types of tank feeding that are widely used at present: (1) The inner end of the tank feed pipe adopts a downward curved structure, and the feed liquid impacts the bottom plate. The feed speed is fast and the feed is concentrated near the tank wall, which can easily cause safety hazards such as static electricity accumulation and tilting of the floating roof; (2) The inner end of the tank feed pipe is connected to a diffuser with a certain length and a side wall opening and an open end, which can reduce the feed speed and keep the feed position at a certain distance from the tank wall. However, since the end of the diffuser is open, the feed is mainly concentrated at the outlet of the diffuser, causing impact on the floating roof support, heating coil and other tank accessories. During use, there was also an accident in which the pipeline purge ball entered the tank through the expansion pipe, causing the internal floating roof to be broken. Utility Model Content

[0022] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the described scope.

[0023] In order to avoid the impact of concentrated feeding on the tank body, floating roof and other tank accessories, the utility model proposes a new type of tank feed distributor, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a tank feed pipe 1, the pipe mouth of the tank feed pipe 1 located in the tank is connected to an equal-diameter porous pipe 6, and liquid outlet holes are arranged obliquely below both sides of the equal-diameter porous pipe 6. One end of the equal-diameter porous pipe 6 is connected to the tank feed pipe 1 through a flange assembly, and the other end is closed by a flange cover assembly. The equal-diameter porous pipe 6 is supported by a pipe rack 7.

[0024] Compared with the existing storage tank feed pipe mouth connected to the diffusion tube, the storage tank feed pipe mouth of the utility model is connected to the equal-diameter porous tube with closed ends, and liquid outlet hole structures are arranged obliquely below both sides of the equal-diameter porous tube. On the one hand, the impact of concentrated feed on the tank body, floating roof and other accessories in the tank can be reduced; on the other hand, the utility model discharges liquid through the liquid outlet hole structure instead of local discharge at the end, which effectively reduces the feed speed, prevents static electricity accumulation, facilitates the smooth lifting and lowering of the floating roof, and prevents the accident of the pipeline purge ball accidentally entering the tank.

[0025] The liquid outlet hole structure includes liquid outlet hole 1 6-1 and liquid outlet hole 2 6-2. Liquid outlet hole 1 6-1 is located on 1 / 2 of the length of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 close to the pipe mouth of the storage tank feed pipe 1, and liquid outlet hole 2 6-2 is located on 1 / 2 of the length of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 away from the pipe mouth of the storage tank feed pipe 1. The diameter of liquid outlet hole 2 6-2 is larger than the diameter of liquid outlet hole 1 6-1.

[0026] Furthermore, the total area of ​​the liquid outlet hole 1 6-1 and the liquid outlet hole 2 6-2 is 3 to 5 times the cross-sectional area of ​​the equal-diameter porous tube 6. The area of ​​the liquid outlet hole 1 6-1 is 0.3 to 0.4 times the total area of ​​the liquid outlet hole 1 6-1 and the liquid outlet hole 2 6-2; the area of ​​the liquid outlet hole 2 6-2 is 0.6 to 0.7 times the total area of ​​the liquid outlet hole 1 6-1 and the liquid outlet hole 2 6-2.

[0027] The utility model distributor has two kinds of liquid outlet holes, and the flow distribution of the liquid outlet holes is more uniform, which avoids concentrated feeding and effectively reduces the feeding speed.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the line connecting the center of the first and second outlet holes 6-1 and 6-2 to the center of the cross section of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 is at an angle of 45 degrees to the vertical center line. The spacing between the first and second outlet holes 6-1 and 6-2 along the length direction of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 is equal.

[0029] In the present invention, the diameter of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 is the same as the diameter of the storage tank feed pipe 1, and the length of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 is 0.65 to 0.75 times the diameter of the storage tank.

[0030] In order to prevent residual materials in the equal-diameter porous tube 6, leakage holes 6-3 are opened every 2m~3m at the bottom of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 in this example. In order to prevent gas accumulation at the end of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 causing uneven flow distribution of the liquid outlet, a vent hole 6-4 is opened at the top of the end of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 away from the tank feed pipe 1 in this example.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the pipe rack 7 is composed of a plurality of pipe rack units, each of which includes a pair of columns 7-1. The upper and lower parts of the two columns 7-1 are respectively provided with a top crossbeam 7-3 and a bottom crossbeam 7-2. The top crossbeam 7-3 is connected to the column 7-1 through a pipe rack bolt 7-4 and a pipe rack nut 7-5. The bottom crossbeam 7-2 is fixedly connected to the column 7-1. The column 7-1 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the storage tank, and a pad is provided between the column 7-1 and the bottom plate.

[0032] In this embodiment, the double columns 7-1, the bottom cross beam 7-2, and the top cross beam 7-3 are all made of steel sections.

[0033] Furthermore, a circular hole is formed in the top cross beam 7-3 at the position where the pipe rack bolts 7-4 are passed through, and an oblong hole is formed in the vertical direction in the double columns 7-1 at the position where the pipe rack bolts 7-4 are passed through.

[0034] The upper surface of the bottom cross beam 7 - 2 contacts the bottom of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 , and the top cross beam 7 - 3 is located above the equal-diameter porous tube 6 , with a gap between it and the top of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 .

[0035] The equal-diameter porous pipe 6 of the utility model is supported by a bracket, and is easy to install and disassemble.

[0036] One end of the equal-diameter porous tube 6 is connected to the tank feed pipe 1 by using a flange 2, a gasket 3, a flange bolt 4 and a flange nut 5, and the other end is closed by using a flange 2, a flange cover 8, a gasket 3, a flange bolt 4 and a flange nut 5, so that the equal-diameter porous tube 6 is easy to disassemble.
