[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of spherical tank cooling, in particular to a spherical tank spraying device. Background Art

[0002] Spherical tanks containing liquefied hydrocarbon materials are susceptible to high temperatures, increasing storage risks. In order to reduce the impact of high temperatures in summer on spherical tanks containing liquefied hydrocarbon materials, traditional technology generally uses water pipes to spray the spherical tanks regularly to reduce the temperature of the spherical tank surface, thereby reducing the risk of storing liquefied hydrocarbon materials in the spherical tanks. However, when spraying the spherical tanks with water pipes, it is difficult for water to evenly cover the surface of the spherical tanks, resulting in a technical problem of poor cooling effect of the spherical tanks.

The water flows through the water pump control valve and the water pipe in sequence and is sprayed out from the nozzle of the rotating nozzle. The reaction force of the water flow sprayed from the nozzle is used to drive the rotating nozzle to rotate, so that the sprayed water forms a water curtain and is sprinkled onto the spherical tank. At the same time, the static electricity generated by the rotating nozzle during the rotation process is discharged through the electrostatic line. Finally, the water pressure of the water flow is controlled by the water pump control valve, thereby controlling the coverage range of the water curtain so that the water curtain fully covers the spherical tank.

[0031] Below, combined Figures 1 to 2 , the above-mentioned spherical tank spraying device 100 is further explained.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the water pipe 20 includes a fixed pipe 21, a transfer pipe 22 and a connecting pipe.

There are multiple nozzles 33, and each nozzle 33 is installed on the rotating seat 32 around the rotation axis of the rotating seat 32. The nozzle 33 includes a horizontal section 331 and an inclined section 332. The horizontal section 331 is connected to the rotating seat 32, and the inclined section 332 is equivalent to the inclined setting of the horizontal section 331. Water flows out from the inclined section 332, and the thrust generated by the water flow is used to push the rotating seat 32 to rotate around the connecting seat 31.

At the same time, the static electricity generated by the rotating nozzle 30 during the rotation process is discharged through the electrostatic line 42. Finally, the water pressure of the water flow is controlled by the water pump control valve, thereby controlling the coverage range of the water curtain, so that the water curtain fully covers the spherical tank.
