Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of methanol storage, in particular to a sodium methoxide storage environment cooling device. Background Art
[0002] Sodium methoxide is an organic compound that is an important raw material for the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals. It is also a hazardous chemical, corrosive and pyrophoric. At room temperature, sodium methoxide is a white or slightly yellow hygroscopic powder or lump. It is soluble in methanol and ethanol, but insoluble in benzene and toluene. It decomposes in air above 126.6°C and in contact with water into methanol and sodium hydroxide. Sodium methoxide products are available in two main forms: solid and liquid. The solid form is pure sodium methoxide, while the liquid form is a methanol solution of sodium methoxide.
[0003] Sodium methoxide is generally stored in warehouses. Due to high temperatures in summer and strong sunlight radiation, the ambient temperature can easily exceed 40°C. The commonly used method is to use water cannons or fog cannons to cool down the ambient temperature when the ambient temperature is too high. Although this method is low in cost, it is a passive emergency measure and the cooling effect is relatively poor. It takes a long time to achieve the cooling purpose and requires the participation of multiple people. Therefore, we proposed a sodium methoxide storage environment cooling equipment to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present application provides a sodium methoxide storage environment cooling device, which solves the problem of cooling the storage environment of a methanol storage tank.
[0005] The present application provides a sodium methoxide storage environment cooling device, comprising a storage bin, wherein a wrapping outer layer is provided on one side wall of the storage bin, a gas circulation structure is provided between the wrapping outer layer and the storage bin to ensure the upward and downward circulation of gas, and a spraying structure is also provided between the wrapping outer layer and the storage bin, and both the gas circulation structure and the spraying structure are driven by photovoltaic panels.
[0006] Preferably, the gas circulation structure wraps a ventilation window arranged at the bottom of the outer wrapping layer, and an air duct is provided on the top of the ventilation window. A fan is installed in the air duct, and the fan is connected to the photovoltaic panel.
[0007] Preferably, the spraying structure includes a water tank installed on one side of the storage bin and a water pump installed on the storage bin, the water pump and the water tank are connected through a water pipe, a dropper is provided on the side wall between the outer wrapping layer and the storage bin, a dripper is installed on the dropper, and the dropper is connected to the water pump.
[0008] Preferably, a temperature sensor is installed on the outer side wall of the storage bin.
[0009] Preferably, the outer wrapping layer is connected to the storage bin via a support rod.
[0010] Preferably, the photovoltaic panel is fixed to the storage bin via a protective frame.
[0011] Preferably, a maintenance ladder is installed on one side of the storage bin, and the maintenance ladder passes through the outer wrapped layer and extends to the outside of the outer wrapped layer.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wrapping layer includes a heat-insulating layer and a water-storage layer, and the heat-insulating layer is located outside the water-storage layer.
[0013] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the present application provides a sodium methoxide storage environment cooling device. When the present application is in use, the photovoltaic panels are installed according to the standard, and the gas circulation structure is driven by the photovoltaic panels. When there is no sunlight, the ambient temperature is also low, and the natural wind will also pass through the gap between the outer layer of the package and the storage bin for cooling. When sunlight occurs, the photovoltaic panels will drive the gas circulation structure to generate a strong airflow in the gap between the outer layer of the package and the storage bin for cooling. When the temperature reaches a certain height, water can be sprayed in the gap between the outer layer of the package and the storage bin through the spraying structure, and the purpose of cooling is achieved by using water through evaporation, and the water is located in the gap between the outer layer of the package and the storage bin. The water consumption in the cooling process is small, and the cooling effect is obvious.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0015] 1. By wrapping the outer layer and the storage bin, a sandwich layer is formed on the side wall of the storage bin. On the one hand, it plays the role of heat insulation and protection from sunlight, and on the other hand, it is easy to control the surface temperature of the storage bin, so that a space is formed around the storage bin that is convenient for monitoring and temperature control.
[0016] 2. Through the installation of gas circulation structure and photovoltaic panels, it is possible to provide flowing gas for cooling in the cooling space formed by the outer wrapping layer and the storage bin, and to monitor and control it through solar energy. The higher the light intensity, the stronger the ventilation capacity.
[0017] 3. Through the setting of spraying structure and photovoltaic panels, water can be sprayed in while ventilation and cooling, and heat is absorbed through evaporation of water, which further improves the temperature control and cooling effect, and also cools down through solar energy.
[0018] In summary, the present application forms a cooling space around the methanol storage bin by setting up a methanol storage bin. While isolating from heat and sunlight, it can also form air cooling through the space for temperature control. It can further cool down by spraying water and utilizing the heat absorption of water evaporation. Not only is the water consumption small, but the control of the present application is all controlled by photovoltaic panels. When there is sunlight, the temperature is high and cooling is carried out. When there is no sunlight, the temperature is low and the photovoltaic panels stop cooling because they cannot meet the functional requirements. The higher the light intensity, the better the cooling effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] In order to enable people skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0025] See also Figure 1-3, a sodium methoxide storage environment cooling device, the present application is used to cool the sodium methoxide storage environment, specifically to cool the warehouse where sodium methoxide is stored, specifically, it includes a storage bin 1, the storage bin 1 is a conventional storage bin, that is, it can meet the storage conditions for normal storage of sodium methoxide, and a reinforcing structure can be installed when necessary to be suitable for the installation of this application, a wrapped outer layer 2 is provided on the side wall of the storage bin 1, and a flow cavity for air flow is formed between the storage bin 1 and the wrapped outer layer 2, specifically, the wrapped outer layer 2 is connected to the storage bin 1 by a support rod 3, which can maintain the space thickness of the flow cavity, and a gas circulation structure is provided between the wrapped outer layer 2 and the storage bin 1 to ensure the upward and downward circulation of gas, the gas circulation structure can allow the gas in the flow cavity to flow, specifically according to the upper and lower air pressures of the storage bin 1, when the upper end is at high pressure, the gas flows from top to bottom, and when The upper end is at low pressure and the gas flows from bottom to top, and the purpose of cooling is achieved by the flowing gas, and a spraying structure is also provided between the wrapped outer layer 2 and the storage bin 1. When the flowing airflow fails to achieve the purpose of cooling, water can be sprayed into the flow cavity to achieve the purpose of cooling by evaporating the water. In the present application, the gas flow structure and the spraying structure are both driven by the photovoltaic panel 5. The start-up of the present application is controlled by the photovoltaic panel 5. When the photovoltaic panel 5 reaches the specified power generation, the gas flow structure is opened. When the power generation is further increased, the spraying structure is opened for further cooling. When the power generation is insufficient, that is, when the light is insufficient, the storage bin 1 is less affected by the light, and the temperature will not rise too quickly except in special circumstances, and no cooling treatment is required. Therefore, the present application can be adjusted according to the influence of light, with good cooling effect, and is self-sufficient through solar energy.
[0026] In the present invention, the gas circulation structure is wrapped around a ventilation window 7 arranged at the bottom of the wrapped outer layer 2. The ventilation window 7 is a fixed shutter, which can reduce the entry of rainwater while ventilating. An air duct 8 is provided on the top of the ventilation window 7. The ventilation window 7 and the air duct 8 together constitute an air circulation channel for cooling. At the same time, a fan 9 is installed in the air duct 8. When the temperature is high, the fan 9 can also accelerate the air flow for cooling. The fan 9 is connected to the photovoltaic panel 5. The start-up of the fan 9 is controlled by the light intensity of the photovoltaic panel 5, so that the power of the fan 9 is proportional to the light intensity.
[0027] In the present invention, the spraying structure includes a water tank 15 installed on one side of the storage bin 1 and a water pump 13 installed on the storage bin 1. The water tank 15 is located at the bottom of the storage bin 1 to facilitate checking whether the water level is sufficient and to facilitate adding water. The water pump 13 can be installed on the top or bottom of the storage bin 1, or a submersible pump can be used to install it in the water tank 15. When installed outside the water tank 15, the water pump 13 and the water tank 15 are connected through a water pipe 14. A dropper 10 is provided on the side wall between the wrapped outer layer 2 and the storage bin 1. The dropper 10 is distributed on the wrapped outer layer 2 and the storage bin 1. A dripper 11 is installed on the dropper 10, and the dropper 10 is connected to the water pump 13. The dripping position of the dripper is located on the side wall of the wrapped outer layer 2 and the storage bin 1, which can effectively reduce the speed of water descent, increase the contact area with the flowing air, increase its evaporation amount, further improve the cooling level, and make the side wall of the storage bin 1 quickly cool down.
[0028] In some embodiments, the temperature around the storage bin 1 is not necessarily affected by the light intensity, such as in the event of a fire. Therefore, a temperature sensor 12 is installed on the outer wall of the storage bin 1. When the temperature around the storage bin 1 is higher than the preset value, it can also be cooled by spraying water to improve the reliability of the present application.
[0029] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic panel 5 is fixed to the storage bin 1 via a protective frame 6 . The protective frame 6 supports the photovoltaic panel 5 on one hand, and prevents maintenance personnel from falling on the other hand.
[0030] In some embodiments, a maintenance ladder 4 is also installed on one side of the storage bin 1. The maintenance ladder 4 passes through the wrapped outer layer 2 and extends to the outside of the wrapped outer layer 2. The maintenance ladder 4 is located on the outside of the wrapped outer layer 2, but is supported by the storage bin 1 with a stronger structure, making it convenient for staff to climb up the storage bin 1 for maintenance.
[0031] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the cooling purpose, the wrapped external layer 2 includes an insulation layer 21 and a water storage layer 22. The insulation layer 21 is located on the outside of the water storage layer 22. The outside of the insulation layer 21 is painted white to reduce the absorption of light. The inner water storage layer 22 is mainly made of canvas, and gauze is pasted on the inner side of the insulation layer 21 to slow down the flow rate of water, and a part of it is retained on the inner wall of the wrapped external layer 2 to achieve better cooling purpose.
[0032] It can be seen from the above technical solution that when the present application is in use, the photovoltaic panel 5 is installed according to the standard, and the gas circulation structure is driven by the photovoltaic panel 5. When there is no sunlight, the ambient temperature is also low, and the natural wind will also pass through the gap between the wrapped outer layer 2 and the storage bin 1 to cool down. When sunlight occurs, the photovoltaic panel 5 will drive the gas circulation structure to generate a strong airflow in the gap between the wrapped outer layer 2 and the storage bin 1 to cool down. When the temperature reaches a certain height, water can be sprayed in the gap between the wrapped outer layer 2 and the storage bin 1 through the spraying structure, and the purpose of cooling is achieved by using water through evaporation, and the water is located in the gap between the wrapped outer layer 2 and the storage bin 1. The water consumption in the cooling process is small and the cooling effect is obvious.
