Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cryogenic liquid storage and transportation, in particular to a cryogenic liquid insulated tank truck traction pin assembly capable of achieving surge peak cutting. Background Art

[0002] A cryogenic liquid insulated tanker is a container used to store cryogenic liquids and transport them on public roads. It typically utilizes a semitrailer. The tanker's overall structure includes the tank, a running mechanism located at the rear, and a tow pin assembly located at the front for connection to the semitrailer. The tow pin assembly on the tank connects the cryogenic liquid insulated tanker to the semitrailer, enabling transportation of the cryogenic liquid insulated tanker.

[0003] The tank body of a cryogenic liquid insulated tank truck is a double-layer tank body. The inner tank body (inner container) is used to store cryogenic liquids such as liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquefied gas (the temperature is usually below -100°C). The outer tank body (outer container) is arranged on the periphery of the inner tank body, and the enclosed space between the outer tank body and the inner tank body is evacuated to form an insulating space; in addition, a layer of insulating material is also provided on the inner tank body.

[0004] During the transportation process, cryogenic liquid insulated tank trucks are subject to external factors (such as sudden stops, sudden starts, and accidental collisions with the front of the vehicle). The liquid in the tank will shake violently due to inertia, causing a surge impact on the tank body. The huge liquid surge impact force can potentially damage the tank body, thereby causing a major safety hazard. Based on actual usage analysis, the surge impact force generated by cryogenic liquid insulated tank trucks is usually the greatest in the three situations of starting, sudden stops, and accidental collisions with the front of the vehicle. This can cause the liquid surge in the tank body to reach its maximum peak, and its potential damage to the tank body is the greatest, which can easily lead to potential dangers such as liquid leakage or even explosion inside the tank body. Therefore, if ways can be found to reduce or minimize the surge peaks caused by tank truck starting, sudden stops, and accidental collisions with the front of the vehicle, the safety of cryogenic liquid insulated tank trucks can be greatly improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the above issues, this utility model proposes a traction pin assembly for cryogenic liquid insulated tank trucks that can achieve surge peak reduction, aiming to improve the safety of cryogenic liquid insulated tank trucks against surge impacts. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] The traction pin assembly of a cryogenic liquid insulated tank truck capable of achieving surge peak cutting comprises a traction frame arranged at both sides of the lower part of the tank body wall of the outer container of the cryogenic liquid insulated tank truck, a traction base connected to the lower part of the traction frame, a traction chamber arranged in the traction base, and a composite elastic deformation body installed in the traction chamber, the composite elastic deformation body comprises a rigid body arranged in the traction chamber for sliding in the horizontal direction, an elastic body arranged on the rigid body, an elastic deformation connection is formed between the elastic body in the composite elastic deformation body and the traction chamber in the horizontal direction, a gap is provided on the lower wall of the traction chamber that passes through the gap up and down, a traction pin is vertically provided on the rigid body in the composite elastic deformation body, and the traction pin passes downward through the gap on the lower wall of the traction chamber and is exposed to the lower position of the traction base.

[0007] In the present invention, the traction base is located at the front lower side of the tank body of the outer container of the cryogenic liquid insulated tank truck.

[0008] As one of the preferred solutions of the elastic body structure in the present invention, the elastic body is an annular elastic rubber belt wrapped around the four sides of the rigid body, and the annular elastic rubber belt is in elastic contact with the four inner side walls of the traction chamber.

[0009] As the second preferred solution of the elastomer structure in the present invention, the elastomer is an elastic rubber sleeve densely arranged in an array in the rigid body, and a transmission pin is inserted into each elastic rubber sleeve in an elastic contact manner, and the upper and lower ends of the transmission pin are respectively connected to the upper side wall and the lower side wall of the traction chamber.

[0010] Preferably, the rigid body is provided with both the annular elastic rubber belt and the elastic rubber sleeve.

[0011] In the present invention, the rigid body is densely provided with rubber sleeve mounting holes which pass through the rigid body in an array arrangement, and the elastic rubber sleeve is mounted in the rubber sleeve mounting holes in an elastic contact manner.

[0012] Preferably, the horizontal cross-section of the traction chamber is rectangular or circular.

[0013] When the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the traction chamber is rectangular, the rigid body adopts a rectangular rigid plate with a rectangular horizontal cross-sectional shape, and the elastic rubber sleeves are densely arranged in the rubber sleeve mounting holes of the rectangular rigid plate in a matrix array arrangement; when the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the traction chamber is circular, the rigid body adopts a circular rigid plate with a circular horizontal cross-sectional shape, and the elastic rubber sleeves are densely arranged in the rubber sleeve mounting holes of the circular rigid plate in a matrix array arrangement.

[0014] As a preferred solution of the traction base structure, the traction base is provided with an inner cavity with an open lower end for forming the traction chamber, and a cover plate is provided at the lower end of the traction base, which covers the open inner cavity on the traction base to form the traction chamber; the cover plate is fixed to the lower end surface of the traction base by bolts, and a plurality of positioning pins are further provided between the traction base and the cover plate.

[0016] Preferably, the upper pin hole and the lower pin hole are blind holes or stepped through holes, which can realize the limiting of the transmission pin in the up and down directions.

When installing the composite elastic deformable body, a layer of lubricating grease is applied to the sliding mating surfaces between the upper and lower surfaces of the sealed chamber and the rigid body (rectangular rigid plate or circular rigid plate) to reduce the resistance of the rigid body to horizontal sliding.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0021] First, the utility model provides a traction pin assembly of a cryogenic liquid insulated tank truck that can achieve surge peak cutting.

[0022] Second, the utility model provides a low-temperature liquid insulated tank truck traction pin assembly that can achieve surge peak clipping. By setting the elastomer in the composite elastic deformation body as an elastic rubber sleeve densely arranged in an array in a rigid body, the impact force between the tank truck and the front of the vehicle can be decomposed into each elastic rubber sleeve, so that the impact force borne by each elastic rubber sleeve is smaller. Compared with the elastomer using an annular elastic rubber belt, the fatigue strength and service life of the elastomer can be greatly improved, thereby reducing the maintenance and replacement costs of the traction pin assembly.

[0023] Third, the utility model provides a traction pin assembly for a cryogenic liquid insulated tank truck that can achieve surge peak cutting. Regardless of whether the elastic body adopts an annular elastic rubber belt or an elastic rubber sleeve arranged in an array, or adopts both an annular elastic rubber belt and an elastic rubber sleeve arranged in an array, it can achieve a bidirectional buffering effect in the longitudinal and lateral directions, thereby further improving the safety of the cryogenic liquid insulated tank truck against surge impact.
