[0032] In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features known in the art are not described to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, the directions of up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside involved in this document are based on the directions of up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside shown in the figures of the present invention, and are explained here together.

[0034] This embodiment provides Figures 1 to 5 The petrochemical storage tank sealing detection device shown includes: a petrochemical storage tank 1 and a sealing detection mechanism 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the petrochemical storage tank 1 is used to contain petrochemical raw materials and has multiple pipe openings on its top, each of which has a removable top cover 3; the sealing detection mechanism 5 is covered above the pipe opening and the removable top cover 3 for detecting the airtightness of the pipe opening, and the sealing detection mechanism 5 includes a sleeve member 7 sleeved on the periphery of the pipe opening, a leakage test component 15 arranged in the inner cavity of the sleeve member 7, and a detection mark assembly 12 arranged on the upper part of the inner cavity of the sleeve member 7; the sleeve member 7 is covered above the pipe opening to form a closed space for sealing detection.

[0036] In this embodiment, the air leakage test component 15 comprises a retaining ring 14 disposed within the inner cavity of the sleeve member 7 and an annular array of foam lines 27 densely connected to the bottom surface of the retaining ring 14. The foam lines 27 are located around the connection between the nozzle and the removable top cover 3 to detect air leaks at the nozzle. The detection marking assembly 12 activates a marking pen 23 to mark the location of the leak on the top surface of the removable top cover 3. The marking pen 23 performs the actual marking action, drawing a line on the surface of the removable top cover 3 after the leak point is found. The foam lines 27 are preferably made of polystyrene, which is easily blown up by leaking gas, thereby visually indicating the leak location.

[0037] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the circumference of the fixing ring 14 is symmetrically fixedly connected with connecting blocks 28 , and one end of the two connecting blocks 28 away from the fixing ring 14 is fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve member 7 .

[0038] In this embodiment, an inspection cover 9 is screwed onto the top surface of the sleeve member 7. A transparent top plate 10 is embedded in the center of the top surface of the inspection cover 9. A sealed bearing 16 extends longitudinally through the center of the top surface of the transparent top plate 10. The transparent top plate 10, mounted on the inspection cover 9, allows the operator to directly observe the interior of the sleeve member 7, particularly the condition of the foam lines 27. A transparent side panel 11 is embedded in the side of the sleeve member 7, also allowing the operator to clearly see the condition of the pipe connection.

[0039] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 17 is longitudinally interference-fitted in the inner ring of the sealed bearing 16 . The bottom end of the rotating shaft 17 extends into the inner cavity of the sleeve member 7 , and a rotating handwheel 19 is fixed to the top end of the rotating shaft 17 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the detection mark assembly 12 includes an inverted U-shaped rocker arm 18 fixedly mounted at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 17, an inverted L-shaped slider 20 arranged below the U-shaped rocker arm 18, a positioning cross bar 25 that passes through the L-shaped slider 20 horizontally, and an electric lifting rod 21 fixed to the bottom surface of the L-shaped slider 20.

[0041] In this embodiment, the two ends of the positioning cross bar 25 are respectively fixed on the inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped rocker arm 18, so that the top surface of the L-shaped slider 20 is close to the inner top wall of the U-shaped rocker arm 18. An electric push-pull rod 24 is horizontally installed on one of the inner walls of the U-shaped rocker arm 18, and the telescopic free end of the electric push-pull rod 24 is fixed on the outer wall of the L-shaped slider 20.

[0042] In this embodiment, a base plate 22 is fixed to the bottom lifting end of the electric lift rod 21, and a marking pen 23 is vertically embedded in the base plate 22. The top surface of the U-shaped swing arm 18 has a junction box 26, which contains a battery that supplies power to the electric lift rod 21 and the electric push-pull rod 24.

[0043] In this embodiment, a matching base plate 6 is fixed to the bottom surface of the sleeve member 7, and the side of the matching base plate 6 facing away from the sleeve member 7 matches the peripheral outer wall of the petrochemical storage tank 1 and a silicone sealing gasket 13 in contact with the outer wall of the petrochemical storage tank 1 is bonded to its bottom surface.

[0044] In this embodiment, a transparent side panel 11 is embedded in the circumference of the sleeve member 7, and the transparent side panel 11 is located at the connection between the pipe mouth and the detachable top cover 3, so as to observe whether the foam line 27 is blown up by the leaked gas.

[0045] In this embodiment, handles 8 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the top surface of the matching base plate 6, a support base 2 is fixed on the bottom surface of the petrochemical storage tank 1, and an inspection platform 4 is provided behind the petrochemical storage tank 1. When it is necessary to detect whether there is a gas leak between the pipe mouth and the removable top cover 3, climb onto the inspection platform 4, hold the handle 8, and cover the matching base plate 6 on the pipe mouth and the removable top cover 3 so that the silicone sealing gasket 13 of the matching base plate 6 contacts the outer wall of the petrochemical storage tank 1 to ensure the internal sealing of the sleeve part 7. At this time, the sleeve part 7 covers the pipe mouth, and a circle of foam lines 27 inside the sleeve part 7 is located at the connection between the pipe mouth and the removable top cover 3. Observe the circle of foam lines 27 through the transparent top plate 10 and the transparent side plate 11 to see if the leaked gas has blown up. If the foam lines 27 are blown up, it means that the airtightness is poor and there is a leakage point. At this point, rotating handwheel 19 drives shaft 17, driven by sealed bearing 16, which in turn rotates U-shaped rocker 18. The end of U-shaped rocker 18, away from shaft 17, points toward the leak point, where foam line 27 is blown up. At this point, the buttons on the external operating panel (not shown) activate the electric push-pull rod 24 and electric lift rod 21. The electric lift rod 21 lowers the marking pen 23, causing the pen tip to contact the top surface of the removable top cover 3. The electric push-pull rod 24 pushes and pulls the L-shaped slider 20 in a linear motion, causing the marking pen 23 to draw a straight line to mark the leak point. After marking, handle 8 is used to remove the matching base plate 6 and proceed to the next pipe opening for inspection.

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] This petrochemical tank sealing test device ensures that the petrochemical tank 1 has stopped operating and the internal pressure has been released to a safe level. The operator then steps onto the inspection platform 4 and prepares to begin testing. Holding the handle 8 on the mating base plate 6, the mating base plate 6 is aligned with the pipe opening to be tested and the removable top cover 3. The mating base plate 6 is placed on the petrochemical tank 1, ensuring that the silicone sealing gasket 13 fits tightly against the outer wall of the petrochemical tank 1 to form a good seal. The pipe opening is covered with a sleeve 7, so that the foam line 27 is located exactly at the connection between the pipe opening and the removable top cover 3.

[0048] The status of the foam lines 27 can be observed through the transparent top panel 10 and side panels 11. By pressurizing the nozzle or using other methods to create an internal pressure differential, if a leak is present, the leaking gas will blow up the foam lines 27. If foam lines 27 are blown up by the gas, it indicates a leak. By rotating the handwheel 19, the shaft 17 rotates accordingly, driving the U-shaped swing arm 18 toward the leak point. One end of the U-shaped swing arm 18 will point to the location of the blown foam lines 27, thereby pinpointing the leak's location.

[0049] The electric lifting rod 21 is activated through the external operation panel to lower it, so that the marking pen 23 in the base plate 22 contacts the surface of the removable top cover 3. At the same time, the electric push-pull rod 24 is activated to push the L-shaped slider 20 to move linearly along the positioning crossbar 25, driving the marking pen 23 to draw a straight line on the removable top cover 3, clearly marking the location of the leak.

[0050] After marking is completed, turn off all power supplies, retract the electric lifting rod 21 and the electric push-pull rod 24, hold the handle 8 again, remove the matching base plate 6 and the entire sealing detection mechanism 5. Check the next pipe opening and repeat the above steps until all pipe openings that need to be tested have been checked.

[0051] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as one and two are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions. The sentence "including an element defined by ... does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device that includes the element."

[0052] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
