[0002] There are three ways to store oil at sea: above-water storage, surface storage and underwater storage. The technologies of the first two are relatively mature, but the cost of above-water storage platforms is very high. Due to the limitation of the bearing capacity of the supporting structure, the oil storage capacity cannot be too large. Surface storage is greatly affected by external wind and waves, ocean currents, ice and snow. In comparison, underwater storage has many advantages, because the oil storage tank is located below the water surface, isolated from fire sources and lightning, with low oil and gas loss and natural explosion-proof performance. At the same time, it avoids the influence of wave washing, the tank capacity is not limited, and it has huge The oil storage capacity of the tank is unknown. After searching, Chinese patent CN102700869A discloses a concrete water circulation oil storage tank. First, a tank body of suitable height is prefabricated with concrete in a dock. Oil holes are set at the bottom of the partition wall, and oil holes are set at the upper part of the partition wall. After setting water inlets and outlets on one side of the lower part of the tank body, the water inlets and outlets are temporarily blocked.

Secondly, when the above-mentioned patent is in use, the oil storage tank sinks and the sealing cover of the oil pipeline is always above the horizontal plane. This means that the oil storage tank of the above-mentioned patent can only be installed in the diving area, and it is inconvenient to install in deep water areas. Summary of the Invention

[0036] The oil storage tank body 1 of the present invention is provided with a water-oil tank, and an oil-water separation float 22 is provided in the water-oil tank. The oil-water separation float 22 divides the water-oil tank into an oil storage tank 23 and a water tank 24. The oil storage tank 23 is located above the water tank 24. The oil-water separation float 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the oil storage tank body 1. At least one oil storage tank oil port 25 is provided on the surface of the oil storage tank body 1. The oil storage tank oil port 25 is communicated with the oil storage tank 23 through a pipeline.

[0037] The upper outer wall of the oil storage tank body 1 of the present invention extends radially outward to form a limiting boss 28, so as to prevent the oil storage tank body 1 from excessively sinking through the limiting boss.

[0038] As attached Figure 1-9, the oil storage tank body 1 of the utility model adopts a prefabricated concrete tank body, which is composed of a water-oil tank and an excavation tank 3 from top to bottom. The inner wall of the water-oil tank is separated by an oil-water separation float 22. The oil storage tank 23 is above the oil-water separation float 22, and the water tank 24 is below. The lower end of the excavation tank 3 is open, and an excavation equipment 4 is arranged in the excavation tank 3. A robot control system can be set on the support frame 9. The robot control system, such as a PLC control system, can be installed on the support frame 9 and the excavation mechanical arm 10. Existing equipment such as lighting and cameras can be installed. These devices are connected to the robot control system with the slurry pump 8, the cutter suction drive motor 12, the first excavation drive cylinder 17, the second excavation drive cylinder 19, and the third excavation drive cylinder 21. They are controlled by the robot control system. The robot control system can be connected to the ship's control system through a cable, which is convenient for the operator on the ship to understand the underwater situation at any time. At the same time, power is transmitted to the excavation equipment 4 through the cable, as shown in the attached Figure 3 The cable can enter the excavation chamber 3 through the excavation chamber water inlet 13 and the excavation water inlet channel 14 and be connected to the robot control system. The utility model uses the suction head 11 to suck and the slurry pump 8 to pump the mud and water mixture to the surrounding waters or ships through the mud suction pipe, mud and water pipeline 7, mud discharge channel 6, and mud discharge pipe 5. The excavation chamber water inlet 13 can be connected to the water pump through the water pipe. The water pump is driven to continuously replenish water to the soil borrowing chamber through the excavation chamber water inlet 13 and the excavation water inlet channel 14 to meet the suction demand. Since the soil support at the bottom of the oil storage tank 1 is hollowed out, the oil storage tank 1 loses its bottom support and continues to sink downward as a whole. This cycle continues until the oil storage tank 1 sinks to the specified depth, and a limit boss 28 is formed on the upper outer part of the oil storage tank 1. When the oil storage tank 1 sinks into place, the limit boss 28 contacts the seabed as a whole to prevent the oil storage tank 1 from sinking excessively as a whole. The utility model does not require an electric system for oil filling, oil extraction, and daily maintenance, and has almost zero maintenance cost.

[0039] Use a ship to tow the utility model to the designated waters, sink the utility model vertically to the seabed, start the excavation equipment 4 to perform underwater excavation until the tank reaches the designated depth below the seabed. Specifically, after the ship tows the utility model to the designated location, the oil port 25 of the oil storage tank can be installed with an oil pipe, and a valve is installed on the oil pipe. Open the oil port 25 of the oil storage tank,

[0040] As attached Figure 4 , Attachment Figure 6 , Attachment Figure 7Under the action of its own weight, the external water enters the water tank 24 from the water tank outlet 26 of the utility model, pushing the oil-water separation float 22 to move upward, squeezing the air in the oil storage tank 23, and the air in the oil storage tank is discharged through the oil storage tank oil port 25. After the air is discharged, the overall buoyancy of the utility model becomes smaller and begins to sink. By controlling the valve of the oil pipe on the oil storage tank oil port 25, the sinking speed of the utility model can be controlled. At the same time, the excavation equipment 4 is started, the suction drive motor 12 is started, the suction head 11 is driven to suction, and the slurry pump 8 is started to discharge the mud and water mixture to the surrounding waters through the mud suction pipe, mud and water pipeline 7, mud discharge channel 6, and mud discharge pipe 5. Or on a ship, the soil support at the bottom of the oil storage tank 1 is hollowed out, the oil storage tank 1 loses its bottom support, and the whole body continues to sink downward. At the same time, in order to ensure the rapid suction of the winch head 11, the excavation bin water inlet 13 can be connected to the water pump through a water pipe. The water pump is driven to continuously replenish water to the soil borrowing bin through the excavation bin water inlet 13 and the excavation water inlet channel 14, thereby increasing the water content of the soil below the seabed at the lower end of the winch head 11, which is convenient for winch suction. Since the soil support at the bottom of the oil storage tank 1 is hollowed out, the oil storage tank 1 loses its bottom support and the whole body continues to sink downward. This cycle continues until the oil storage tank 1 sinks to a specified depth, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 7 As shown, the limiting boss 28 is placed on the seabed, and the oil storage tank 1 is sunk to a specified depth.

[0041] When the utility model settles into place, as shown in the attached Figure 8 The oil required for storage is injected into the oil storage tank 23 through the oil storage tank oil port 25. As the oil storage volume increases, the oil-water separation float 22 moves downward, and the water in the water tank 24 is discharged through the water tank inlet and outlet pipe 27 and the water tank outlet 26. After the oil filling is completed, the valve of the oil pipe on the oil storage tank oil port 25 is closed, and the oil filling pipeline is removed. Since the density of oil is smaller than that of water and oil and water are incompatible with each other, the oil is stably sealed in the oil storage tank 23 due to the pressure of the water.

[0042] As attached Figure 9 When it is necessary to take oil from the oil storage tank 1, the external oil taking equipment is connected to the oil port 25 of the oil storage tank through the oil taking pipeline. An oil pump can be installed on the oil taking pipeline. The valve on the oil pipe on the oil port 25 of the oil storage tank is opened, and external water enters the water tank 24 through the water tank outlet 26 and the water tank inlet and outlet pipe 27. The oil-water separation float 22 moves upward, and the oil in the oil storage tank 23 reaches the water surface and enters the oil taking vessel under the combined action of water pressure and the oil pump on the oil taking pipeline.

[0043] Compared with the existing technology, the oil storage tank body 1 of the utility model has its own sinking mechanism 2, which can be quickly sunk below the seabed through the excavation chamber 3 and the excavation equipment 4, and is fixed by the mud and silt on the seabed. The installation is convenient and fast. Only the upper end of the oil storage tank body 1 is exposed to the seabed ground, and it will not shake. It has high safety and will not be damaged or leaked. At the same time, because it has its own excavation equipment 4, the utility model is not limited to the depth of the seabed. It can be used in shallow water areas and deep water areas. It does not require daily maintenance and has low cost of use.

[0044] Due to the above structure, the utility model has the advantages of stable structure, can be sunk deep into the seabed, the oil storage box is not easy to be damaged, the oil storage is safe and leak-proof, the use cost is low, and the installation is convenient and quick.
