[0048] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, this embodiment provides a replaceable mobile zero-carbon fuel tank cabinet, which can safely store and transport fuel. When replacing the fuel, only the tank cabinet needs to be lifted and replaced, without the need for long-distance fuel transmission to avoid difficulties in pipeline docking and with low safety risks.

[0049] The replaceable mobile zero-carbon fuel tank cabinet includes a tank body 100, a valve assembly, and a lifting frame body.

[0050] The tank body 100 is used to store fuel. An openable and closable inlet / outlet port 301 is provided on the tank body 100, and fuel can be filled into the interior of the tank body 100 from the inlet port; the tank body 100 is composed of a cylindrical barrel 101 and butterfly-shaped heads 102 located at both ends of the barrel 101.

[0051] The valve assembly is arranged on the tank body 100, and the filling or discharging of fuel can be safely controlled through the valve assembly.

[0052] The lifting frame body is connected to the outside of the tank body 100 and is used to cooperate with the lifting equipment at the port when replacing the tank cabinet. Specifically, the barrel 101 of the tank body 100 is welded to the lifting frame body through a connecting skirt and a skirt reinforcement ring.

[0053] The fuel is directly stored in the tank body 100 after production, and the tank cabinet is sent to the port by a vehicle at a predetermined time. When the ship docks for unloading, the lifting frame body is lifted by the lifting equipment to realize the transfer of the tank cabinet.

[0054] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, a baffle plate 103 is provided on the inner wall of the tank body 100. During transportation, in case of emergencies such as sudden braking or impact accidents, the liquid stored inside the tank body 100 will flow and impact the inner wall of the tank body 100. When the impact force is too large, there are certain safety hazards. Therefore, setting the baffle plate 103 can strengthen the cylindrical part 101 of the tank body 100, effectively reduce the fluctuation of the liquid fuel inside the tank body 100 and the impact on the inner wall of the tank body 100, and improve the stability of the tank body 100 during combined transportation and hoisting. When installing the baffle plate 103, first weld the reinforcing ring on the inner wall of the tank body 100, and then fix the baffle plate 103 on the reinforcing ring through bolts, thus completing the installation of the baffle plate 103.

[0055] As Figure 2 shown, the replaceable mobile zero-carbon fuel tank cabinet further includes a walkway 200. The walkway 200 is arranged on the tank body 100 and is used to provide a manual operation platform when the tank body 100 is being cleaned and inspected.

[0056] The walkway 200 includes an axial walkway 201 and a radial walkway 202. The axial walkway 201 is parallel to the axis of the tank body 100, and the radial walkway 202 is perpendicular to the axial walkway 201. Both the radial walkway 202 and the axial walkway 201 are arranged on the top of the tank body 100; the length of the axial walkway 201 is the same as the length of the cylindrical part 101 of the tank body 100, which helps the staff to move to various positions on the top of the tank body 100 through the axial walkway 201; one end of the radial walkway 202 is connected to the axial walkway 201. The radial walkway 202 includes multiple groups, and at least one group is arranged near the valve assembly.

[0057] The walkway 200 is made of AL5083 aluminum alloy. The walkway 200 is formed by bending the side edges of the aluminum alloy plate surface. The aluminum alloy material can ensure the strength of the walkway 200, and the side edges are bent and welded to the top of the tank body 100 by welding. A number of L-shaped support bending parts 204 are provided at the bottom of the walkway 200. The support bending parts 204 increase the strength of the walkway 200 and facilitate the staff to step on it; a number of through holes 203 are provided on both the axial walkway 201 and the radial walkway 202. The through holes 203 are oblong holes. The setting of the through holes 203 can not only increase the friction between the soles of the staff and the walkway 200, improve the safety of the staff during maintenance and cleaning, but also reduce the weight of the walkway 200, which is convenient for transportation and hoisting.

[0058] As Figure 2As shown, the valve assembly includes a charging / discharging valve and a vacuum valve 302. The charging / discharging valve is arranged at the charging / discharging port 301 at the bottom of the tank body 100, facilitating the filling and discharging of fuel. The vacuum valve 302 is arranged on the tank body 100. The vacuum valve 302 controls the air pressure difference inside and outside the tank body 100 by opening and closing the valve. Its function is to ensure that the internal space of the tank body is isolated from the external atmosphere within a certain set pressure range, and can communicate with the atmosphere when exceeding this pressure range, preventing the tank body from being damaged due to the pressure difference, and at the same time reducing the evaporation loss of the stored liquid and ensuring safety during transportation.

[0059] As Figure 2 shown, the valve assembly further includes a gas phase valve 303 and a safety valve 304. The gas phase valve 303 is arranged on the tank body 100. The gas phase valve 303 is a safety valve. When a certain overpressure or vacuum is formed inside the tank body 100, the gas inside the tank body 100 is balanced through the gas phase valve 303, so as to ensure that the air pressure difference inside and outside the tank body 100 does not exceed the specified value. The charging / discharging valve and the gas phase valve 303 adopt a linkage mode. When the charging / discharging valve performs the discharging operation, the gas phase valve 303 automatically opens or closes, without the need for manual operation by personnel.

[0060] The safety valve 304 is installed at the top of the tank body 100 and has an emergency pressure relief function. When the pressure inside the tank body 100 exceeds the rated discharge pressure, the safety valve 304 opens to discharge the pressure inside the tank body 100.

[0061] When the tank body 100 is installed with the lifting frame body, the tank body 100 is welded in the lifting frame body in an inclined state. The charging / discharging valve is installed at the lower end of the tank body 100 and the charging / discharging valve inclines downward at a certain angle, facilitating the discharge of fuel. The charging / discharging valve cannot exceed the outer edge of the lifting frame. Through comprehensive consideration and multiple tests, it is obtained that the most suitable angle for the charging / discharging valve to incline downward is 30°.

[0062] As Figure 2 shown, a valve box 306 is arranged outside the valve assembly. The valve box 306 is equipped with an electronic seal. The electronic seal uses technologies such as Bluetooth and RFID, and cooperates with corresponding hardware devices and APP small programs to realize the sealing and unsealing operations. These are all existing technologies, and the present utility model does not involve software improvement, so no further elaboration is made. The valve box 306 can protect the valve assembly, and can also prevent irrelevant personnel from misoperating or damaging the valve assembly, avoiding potential safety hazards. The valve box 306 only needs to be opened during the loading and unloading operations. The normal valve exhaust is relatively slight, and the valve box 306 will not affect its exhaust.

[0063] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, a manhole 305 is provided on the tank body 100. The manhole 305 is a maintenance device installed on the top of the tank body 100 and can also be used as a safety emergency ventilation device, which is used in combination with other valve components. A ladder 104 leading down into the tank body 100 is provided in the manhole 305. The upper end of the ladder 104 is threadedly connected in the manhole 305, and the lower end is in a free state. A long circular hole is provided on the bottom surface inside the tank body 100 corresponding to the lower end of the ladder 104. The lower end of the ladder 104 can be inserted into the long circular hole, which can prevent vibration, thermal expansion and contraction from damaging the ladder 104.

[0064] A liquid level gauge port 307 is also provided on the tank body 100. A liquid level gauge is installed in the liquid level gauge port 307. A liquid level gauge float or an electronic liquid level gauge can be used to facilitate reading the stock value of the fuel in the tank body 100.

[0065] As Figures 7 to 9 shown, the lifting frame body includes end frames 401, multiple cross beams 402 and diagonal braces 403. Specifically:

[0066] The end frame 401 includes an upper end beam 4011, a lower end beam 4012 and two end columns 4013. The upper end beam 4011 and the lower end beam 4012 are arranged in parallel. The two ends of the two end columns 4013 are respectively connected to the ends of the upper end beam 4011 and the lower end beam 4012 to form a rectangular frame. In this embodiment, the end frame 401 includes two groups, which are respectively located at both ends of the tank body 100. The end frame 401 is used to fix and strengthen the front and rear ends of the tank body 100 and provide a basic frame that can withstand low-temperature impact.

[0067] Support beams 4014 are connected between the upper end beam 4011 and the end column 4013 of the end frame 401 and between the lower end beam 4012 and the end column 4013. The support beams 4014 can not only further fix and strengthen both ends of the tank body 100, but also improve the connection strength between the upper end beam 4011, the lower end beam 4012 and the end column 4013 to adapt to the lifting operation of combined water and land transportation.

[0068] In this embodiment, it includes four cross beams 402. The four cross beams 402 are respectively connected between the two groups of end frames 401 and are strengthened by fixing the top corners. The two groups of end frames 401 and the four cross beams 402 form a cuboid accommodation area, and the volume of the accommodation area is adapted to the volume of the tank body 100.

[0069] There are multiple sets of diagonal braces 403. One end of the diagonal brace 403 is connected to the cross beam 402, and the other end is connected to the end frame 401. In this embodiment, one end of four sets of diagonal braces 403 is connected to the upper end beam 4011 of the end frame 401, and the other end is connected to the top cross beam 402 adjacent to the upper end beam 4011. For the other four sets of diagonal braces 403, one end is connected to the end post 4013 of the end frame 401, and the other end is connected to the bottom cross beam 402 adjacent to the end post 4013. The diagonal braces 403 can improve the stability of the tank body 100 during intermodal transportation and hoisting.

[0070] A handle 404 is also provided on the upper end beam 4011 of the end frame 401. When the staff needs to reach the walkway 200 on the top of the tank body 100, they need to climb up through the ladder 104. The handle 404 facilitates the staff to grip and reach the walkway 200 on the top of the tank body 100.
