Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquid helium storage equipment, in particular to a liquid ammonia storage tank capable of preventing leakage and shock. Background Art

[0002] Liquid helium is a colorless, transparent, odorless and tasteless liquid. It is the liquid form of helium and will not solidify under normal pressure. It has the characteristics of superfluidity and superthermal conductivity. It is not only a key material in low-temperature physics research, but also plays a vital role in various high-tech applications. Liquid helium storage tanks are equipment used to store and transport liquid helium. They have high thermal insulation and reliability, and can ensure the effective storage and transportation of liquid helium under various conditions.

[0003] The existing Chinese patent (application number: 202311858481.5) proposes a liquid ammonia storage tank leakage warning system. When ammonia leakage occurs at the tank mouth of the liquid ammonia storage tank and is detected by the detection component, the processing center will display the detection information on the display screen for warning. At the same time, the push-up component moves the detection component close to the ammonia leakage point, and the leaked ammonia is pre-collected and processed to a certain extent, thereby avoiding the continuous increase of ammonia leakage around the liquid ammonia storage tank before the operator performs emergency treatment, facilitating emergency treatment and reducing the losses caused by ammonia leakage.

[0004] Although the above scheme can complete the detection and early warning tasks, there is a gap between the helium detector and the tank mouth seal, and there is an air flow channel between the two, which will affect the detection accuracy.

[0005] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Utility Model Content

Adjacent detection mechanisms are installed by connecting rods. A display processor is installed at the front end of the crossbeam, and the display processor is electrically connected to the detection mechanism.

[0009] In one embodiment, the detection mechanism is displayed in a matrix-type corresponding manner on the display processor. When a leakage occurs in a certain detection mechanism, the human can immediately see the alarm prompt at the matrix display point.

A plurality of fixing rods are arranged in an annular array. The fixing rods are integrally arranged in an arc-shaped rod structure, and their inner walls are attached to the spherical structures at both ends of the tank body. Friction pads are installed on the inner walls of the fixing rods.

[0013] In one embodiment, a base mechanism is installed at the bottom of the tank body. The base mechanism consists of a support seat, a slot, a jack, a locking rod, a screw, a strap, a counterweight, and a positioning hole. An installation groove adapted to the tank body is provided in the middle of the top surface of the support seat. Slots are provided on the top surface of the support seat.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] During operation, by sleeving the tightening opening 37 of the sealing bag 36 on the pipe orifice 42, the tank body 4 is in communication with the detection box 31, the helium detector 32, the one-way valve pipe 33, the blower 34, and the connecting pipe 35. In case of a leakage, after the helium detector 32 detects the leaked gas, the one-way valve pipe 33 is closed, and the blower 34 is started to pump the helium into the detection box 31 for collection, waiting for the maintenance personnel to arrive for repair.
