[0026] Furthermore, the sliding assembly 8 includes a guide rail 81, which is fixed inside the outer shell 1. The guide rail 81 is slidably connected to a slider 82 inside, and the slider 82 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 83 outside.

The bottom of the inner shell 5 is located inside the support frame 92, supporting the inner shell 5 to prevent contact and collision with the outer shell 1. The rubber ring 95 is made of nitrile rubber, which is an oil-resistant and low-temperature resistant rubber material with good low-temperature elasticity. It can remain soft and elastic in low-temperature environments and is not easily hardened or cracked.

The internal data is observed from the observer 104 through the detection of the probes of the pressure sensor 102 and the temperature sensor 103, which is convenient for observing the condition of the internal liquid at any time.
[0030] In this embodiment, when installing the storage tank, the outer shell 1 is not sealed first, and the inner shell 5 is placed inside the outer shell 1, so that the connecting block 83 drives the slider 82 to slide inside the guide rail 81, and the inner shell 5 slides to the top of the support ring 91. The outside of the inner shell 5 contacts the outside of the rubber ring 95, and the bottom of the inner shell 5 is located inside the support frame 92. The spring 73 drives the sliding plate 74 to slide inside the sleeve 72. The sliding plate 74 moves the fixed plate 76 by pushing the connecting column 75. The fixed plate 76 pushes the positioning plate 77 to contact and fix the position of the inner shell 5, and the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 5 are filled with a thermal insulation layer 6. The outer shell 1 is sealed and a sealing cover is installed. The internal data is observed from the observer 104 through the detection of the pressure sensor 102 and the temperature sensor 103 probes. When in use, the inner shell can be stably supported and protected.
