The operator can complete the operation of all valves in a relatively concentrated area around the cylinder without having to move around the tank repeatedly, which improves work efficiency. The centralized arrangement also means that in an emergency, the operator can locate the valves that need to be operated more quickly and accurately, take timely measures, and minimize the risk of accidents, especially the probability of leakage accidents. At the same time, during daily maintenance, the staff only needs to perform routine inspections on the valves in a relatively concentrated area, which saves time and reduces the safety hazards caused by frequent climbing. In addition, the present application also sets detection components such as pressure gauges and ball valves on the cylinder, allowing the operator to monitor the valve status in real time without directly contacting the valve. Once an abnormal situation such as leakage is found, it can be quickly cut off through the ball valve to prevent the situation from escalating, further improving the inherent safety of the device and maximizing the personal safety of the operators.
[0021] 2. The valve bin device described in the present application adopts an integrated design, the cylinder is embedded in the tank body and welded, and an "L"-shaped reinforcement ring is set at the connection. The multiple structures work together to greatly improve the firmness of the connection between the cylinder and the tank body, ensuring that the structure can still remain stable under various harsh working conditions. The reinforcing ribs on the annular body of the reinforcement ring further enhance the strength and rigidity of the reinforcement ring itself, so that it can better withstand impact loads from all directions and protect the valve from damage. The valve bin device is made of the same material as the tank body, ensuring that the various components have consistent physical and chemical properties during welding and use, avoiding stress concentration, corrosion and other problems caused by material differences, and greatly extending the service life of the device. In summary, the valve bin device of the present application greatly improves the space utilization rate of the tank container and reduces the manufacturing and use costs while ensuring safety, and has significant economic and social benefits in the field of chemical liquid and gas transportation.

[0031] Example
[0032] When chemical companies use traditional tank containers to transport liquids or gases, they encounter a series of problems, highlighting the shortcomings of existing technologies: Space utilization and cost efficiency: The current decentralized layout of valve equipment takes up a lot of space and increases production costs. During loading and unloading, operators need to move around the tank to operate different valves. In an emergency, it is difficult to quickly find the correct valve, which can easily cause leakage accidents. During regular maintenance, maintenance personnel need to climb up and down to check the scattered valves, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also poses a safety hazard.
[0033] In order to solve the above problems, the following Figure 1-6 This application is described in further detail.
[0034] The embodiment of the present application discloses a valve bin device for a tank container, comprising a tank body 1 and an opening 2 opened on the tank body 1, a cylinder 3 is welded at the opening 2 of the tank body 1, the cylinder 3 comprises an embedded section 4 embedded in the tank body 1 and an extended section 5 extending to the outside of the tank body 1, the embedded section 4 and the extended section 5 are integrally formed, ensuring a tight connection between the cylinder 3 and the tank body 1 while providing sufficient external operating space, the outer end of the cylinder 3 extends to the outside of the tank body 1, a plurality of valve assemblies are connected to the cylinder 3 via flanges, the centralized arrangement of the valves is realized, and it is convenient for personnel to operate and manage all valves in one location, and since the valves are concentrated in one location, the operator does not need to move around the tank body, and can operate each valve more quickly and accurately. , especially in emergency situations, it can reduce the time of finding the correct valve, thereby reducing the risk of leakage accidents. During maintenance, maintenance personnel only need to check the centrally arranged valve components, reducing the frequency of climbing up and down, and reducing safety hazards. A reinforcement ring 9 is welded on the outer surface of the tank body 1, and the reinforcement ring 9 is arranged around the cylinder body 3. The side of the reinforcement ring 9 is welded and fixed to the outer circumference of the cylinder body 3, which enhances the strength of the connection between the cylinder body 3 and the tank body 1 and improves the stability of the overall structure, especially in the case of vibrations and impacts that may be encountered during transportation. A cylinder cover 10 is covered on the top of the cylinder body 3. The cylinder cover 10 on the top of the cylinder body 3 protects the internal valve components, prevents the influence of the external environment (such as rain and dust) on the valve, and extends the service life of the valve.
[0035] The cylinder body 3 is connected to the extending section 5 with a tube 11, and the outer end of the tube 11 is connected to a detection component, so that the condition of the cylinder body 3 can be monitored through the detection component without opening the cylinder cover 10, thereby improving the convenience and safety of daily monitoring.
[0036] Specifically, the cylinder cover 10 includes an annular segment 14 and an arc-shaped cover 15 connected to the top of the annular segment 14. Reinforcing ribs are arranged on the outer surface of the arc-shaped cover 15 to increase the strength and pressure resistance of the cylinder cover 10. An annular groove 16 is opened on the side of the annular segment 14 close to the cylinder body 3. A sealing ring 17 is embedded in the annular groove 16 to ensure the sealing between the cylinder cover 10 and the cylinder body 3 to prevent liquid or gas leakage. The cylinder cover 10 is located on the outer periphery of the annular segment 14 and is fixedly connected to a fixing ear seat 18. A fixing seat 19 is fixedly connected to the reinforcement ring 9. The fixing seat 19 and the fixing ear seat 18 are fastened by a movable bolt 20, which ensures the sealing while facilitating quick disassembly and assembly, improving the convenience of operation, and facilitating daily inspection and maintenance.
[0037] A hinge 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the cylinder cover 10 for connecting the cylinder cover 10 so that the cylinder cover 10 can be easily opened and closed to prevent the cylinder cover 10 from accidentally falling off when opened. The other end of the hinge 21 is fixed to the reinforcement ring 9. A handle 22 is fixedly connected to the cylinder cover 10 on the opposite side of the hinge 21 to facilitate the operator's grasping and operation, thereby facilitating the opening and closing of the cylinder cover 10.
[0038] The cross section of the reinforcement ring 9 is "L"-shaped. The reinforcement ring 9 includes an annular body 23 and a fixing ring 24 vertically connected to the annular body 23. The annular body 23 is welded to the outer surface of the tank body 1 to reinforce the structure at the opening of the tank body 1. The fixing ring 24 is welded to the outer surface of the extended section 5 of the cylinder 3 to further strengthen the stability of the connection between the cylinder 3 and the tank body 1 to prevent the cylinder 3 from being displaced or loosened during operation. The reinforcement ring 9, the tank body 1 and the cylinder 3 are made of the same material to ensure consistent physical and chemical properties during welding and actual use, avoid stress concentration or corrosion problems caused by material differences, and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0039] A reinforcement structure is provided on the upper surface of the annular body 23, which includes a plurality of reinforcement ribs evenly distributed along the circumference of the annular body 23, each reinforcement rib being perpendicular to the surface of the annular body and being used to increase the strength and rigidity of the reinforcement ring 9, and to increase the ability of the reinforcement ring 9 to withstand external forces, especially under high pressure or heavy load conditions, to ensure that the connection between the tank body 1 and the cylinder body 2 is stable and does not deform.
[0040] The valve assembly includes but is not limited to a gas phase valve 6 , a liquid phase valve 7 and a sampling valve 8 .
[0041] The gas phase valve 6 is connected with a gas pipe 25, which is arranged inside the tank body 1 and is V-shaped, with the port at the other end of the gas pipe 25 located at the inner top of the tank body 1. The gas pipe 25 is used to control the discharge or injection of the gas phase in the tank body 1. The gas pipe 25 is designed in a V-shape to better guide the gas at the top of the tank body 1 into the gas pipe 25, effectively remove the gas phase in the tank body 1, prevent the gas from being retained at the top of the tank body 1, and ensure the thoroughness of gas discharge.
[0042] A liquid pipe 26 is connected to the liquid phase valve 7, and the liquid pipe 26 extends to the interior of the tank body 1. The port at the other end of the liquid pipe 26 is 20-50 cm away from the inner bottom of the tank body 1, and is used to control the discharge or injection of the liquid in the tank body 1. The 20-50 cm interval design between the port of the liquid pipe 26 and the bottom of the tank body can prevent sediment at the bottom of the tank body 1 from entering the liquid pipe 26, thereby reducing the risk of blockage.
[0043] The sampling valve 8 is connected to a sampling tube 27 . The sampling tube 27 extends to the interior of the tank body 1 and is used to extract samples from the interior of the tank body 1 .
[0044] The detection components include but are not limited to a pressure gauge 12 and a ball valve 13. The pressure gauge 12 displays the pressure status inside the cylinder 3 in real time, which is convenient for monitoring whether the valve parts inside the cylinder 3 are leaking. The ball valve 13 is used as an emergency treatment method. Once a leak is found, it can be quickly closed to prevent the situation from escalating. This design allows the operator to monitor the internal conditions through the pressure gauge 12 without directly contacting the valve parts, which greatly reduces the operation risk and ensures the safety of personnel.
[0045] Regularly inspect and maintain the cylinder 3, including the appearance of the valve equipment, the sealing performance of the valve equipment, the operating performance of the valve equipment, etc. If the valve equipment is found to be abnormal, repair or replace it in time to ensure the normal use of the valve equipment.
[0046] Through the above methods, the problem of valve equipment being dispersed and occupying a large amount of space can be effectively solved, the effective use space of the tank container can be increased, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced; at the same time, the problems of inconvenient operation for operators, low work efficiency, and high risk of operating errors can also be solved; in addition, the problem of difficult inspection and maintenance of valve equipment, which may affect normal use and even cause safety accidents, can also be solved.
[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any minor modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
