Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil tank nitrogen injection devices, in particular to a gas station oil tank nitrogen injection device. Background Art

[0002] Before the construction and renovation of a gas station, in order to avoid fire and explosion caused by the diffusion of oil and gas in the oil tank, the tank must be cleaned in advance to ensure the safe progress of the renovation work. The traditional method is mainly to inject water into the oil tank to avoid the risk of fire and explosion, but this method will produce a large amount of hazardous waste, which is not conducive to environmental protection. At the same time, the cost of treating hazardous waste is expensive. Research practice has shown that inert gases have a good inhibitory effect on combustion and explosion. Nitrogen is used to inertate and replace oil and gas in oil tanks due to its stable properties, easy preparation, and low price. Existing nitrogen injection devices generally use ordinary pipelines to provide a channel for nitrogen to enter the oil tank. When nitrogen enters the oil tank from the pipeline at equal pressure, the injection speed is limited, resulting in poor diffusion of nitrogen in the oil tank. The efficiency of replacing oil and gas needs to be improved. For this reason, a nitrogen injection device for gas station oil tanks is proposed. Utility Model Content

When the nitrogen enters the oil tank body 1 through the gas inlet pipe 4, it passes through the gas acceleration chamber 5. The diameter of the gas acceleration chamber 5 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Under isobaric conditions, the nitrogen injection speed is improved in the gas acceleration chamber 5. The nitrogen molecules gain greater kinetic energy and can diffuse more rapidly in the tank, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of replacing oil and gas. The side walls of the gas acceleration chamber 5 are evenly connected with outlet pipes 6. After acceleration, the nitrogen is discharged from multiple outlet pipes 6 into the oil tank body 1. The discharge is more uniform, which increases the comprehensiveness of nitrogen diffusion and further improves the efficiency of replacing oil and gas.

[0023] Specifically, the outlet pipe 6 includes a connecting section 601, one end of which is connected to the gas acceleration chamber 5, and the other end of the connecting section 601 is connected to one end of the acceleration section 602, and the other end of the acceleration section 602 is connected to the outlet section 603. After the nitrogen is accelerated by the gas acceleration chamber 5 and discharged into the oil tank body 1 along the outlet pipe 6, it is accelerated again by the acceleration section 602 and ejected, further increasing the diffusion rate of the nitrogen in the oil tank body 1.

[0024] Specifically, the connecting section 601 and the accelerating section 602 are integrally connected, and the accelerating section 602 and the air outlet section 603 are integrally connected. The integrally formed connection ensures that the air outlet pipe 6 is solid and reliable as a whole.

[0025] Specifically, the acceleration section 602 gradually reduces in diameter along the axial direction, wherein the diameter of the connection port between the acceleration section 602 and the connection section 601 is larger than the connection end between the acceleration section 602 and the outlet section 603. The acceleration section 602 gradually reduces in diameter so that the nitrogen gas flow velocity increases continuously under constant pressure.

[0026] Specifically, the diameter of the connecting section 601 is equal to the diameter of the large-diameter port of the acceleration section 602, and the diameter of the air outlet section 603 is equal to the diameter of the small-diameter port of the acceleration section 602.

[0027] Specifically, the gas outlet 3 is connected to a gas outlet pipe 7 , and a valve for controlling the flow rate of the exhaust gas is provided on the gas outlet pipe 7 . Oil, gas and excess nitrogen are discharged along the gas outlet pipe 7 .

[0028] Working principle: A gas inlet 2 and a gas outlet 3 are provided on the oil tank body 1. The gas inlet 2 and the gas outlet 3 are used for the entry and discharge of the replacement gas in the oil tank respectively. A gas inlet pipe 4 runs through the gas inlet 2. The end of the gas inlet pipe 4 located outside the oil tank body 1 is connected to the nitrogen source.

The end of the gas inlet pipe 4 located inside the oil tank body 1 is connected to a gas acceleration chamber 5. The gas acceleration chamber 5 is a truncated cone-shaped cavity structure. The upper end of the gas acceleration chamber 5 is a large-diameter end, and the lower end of the gas acceleration chamber 5 is a small-diameter end.

When the nitrogen enters the oil tank body 1 through the gas inlet pipe 4, it passes through the gas acceleration chamber 5. The diameter of the gas acceleration chamber 5 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Under constant pressure, the nitrogen injection speed is improved in the gas acceleration chamber 5. The nitrogen molecules gain greater kinetic energy and can diffuse more rapidly in the tank, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of replacing oil and gas. The side walls of the gas acceleration chamber 5 are evenly connected with outlet pipes 6. After acceleration, the nitrogen is discharged from multiple outlet pipes 6 into the oil tank body 1. The discharge is more uniform, which increases the comprehensiveness of nitrogen diffusion and further improves the efficiency of replacing oil and gas.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] See also Figure 4The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the gas inlet pipe 4 and the gas acceleration chamber 5 are rotatably connected. Figure 4 As shown, a first connecting ring 8 is provided through the upper side wall of the gas acceleration chamber 5, and a second connecting ring 9 is fixedly connected to the inside of the gas inlet tube 4. The second connecting ring 9 is located inside the first connecting ring 8 and is coaxially arranged. The first connecting ring 8 and the second connecting ring 9 are rotatably connected through a bearing to realize the rotational connection between the gas acceleration chamber 5 and the gas inlet tube 4. A rotating rod 10 is coaxially provided inside the first connecting ring 8, and a spiral fan blade 11 is fixedly connected to the outer rear face of the rotating rod 10. The rotating rod 10 can be fixed in the first connecting ring 8 by a rod, and the extension direction of the rotating rod 10 is extended in the same direction as the axis of the first connecting ring 8. When the gas is blown into the gas acceleration chamber 5 from the gas inlet tube 4, the gas flows through the spiral fan blade 11, driving the rotating rod 10 to rotate. The rotating rod 10 drives the first connecting ring 8 to rotate, so that the gas acceleration chamber 5 can be rotated, and the gas can be ejected more evenly.

[0031] Specifically, a connecting pipe 12 is provided for the internal rotation of the rotating rod 10, and the connecting pipe 12 is coaxially arranged with the rotating rod 10. The upper end of the connecting pipe 12 is fixedly connected to an air intake hood 13, and the air intake hood 13 is funnel-shaped, and the connecting pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gas inlet pipe 4 through a number of connecting rods. The lower end of the connecting pipe 12 passes through the lower side wall of the gas acceleration chamber 5 and is fixedly connected to a connecting shell 14. The outer wall of the connecting shell 14 is provided with an air blowing port 15. The gas blown in by the gas inlet pipe 4 is blown into the inside of the connecting pipe 12 by the air intake hood 13 and blown out at high speed from the air blowing port 15 on the bottom connecting shell 14. The gas inlet pipe 4 is made of flexible pipe fittings. Since the gas inlet pipe 4 is located at one end inside the oil tank body 1, when the gas is blown out from the air blowing port 15, it can drive the gas inlet pipe 4 to bend, so that the gas acceleration chamber 5 moves to the center of the oil tank body 1, so that the gas is more evenly filled into the oil tank body 1.
