[0016] Beneficial effects
[0017] The utility model provides a pressure relief and explosion-proof device for oil depot safety. Compared with the existing technology, it has the following advantages:
[0018] (1) The oil depot safety protection pressure relief explosion-proof device floats on the surface of the oil liquid due to the buoyancy of the float. Since the disc is set above the float, the disc and the oil liquid surface maintain a relatively fixed space, and the volatile gas of the oil liquid is in this space. As the oil level changes in actual use, the disc slides downward along the inner wall of the oil storage tank, so that the space between the disc and the oil liquid surface will not change significantly, thereby avoiding the accumulation of a large amount of volatile gas due to excessive space and reducing safety hazards.
[0019] (2) The oil depot safety protection pressure relief and explosion-proof device ensures that the disc can only slide stably in the vertical direction through the limit rod and will not deviate. When the disc rises to a certain height, the limit ring will prevent it from moving further upward, thereby limiting the disc's upward stroke. In addition, when the gas discharged through the pressure relief pipe passes through the filter element, it can effectively filter out toxic components in the gas, ensuring that the discharged gas is relatively pure, reducing pollution to the environment and potential harm to personnel, thereby further reducing safety hazards.

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] This utility model provides two technical solutions:
[0027] Figures 1-4 The first embodiment is shown: a pressure relief and explosion-proof device for oil depot safety, comprising:
[0028] Oil storage tank 1, used for storing oil;
[0029] The floating assembly 2 includes a disc 21 and a plurality of buoys 22. The outer wall of the disc 21 is in close contact with the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1 and can slide freely up and down. The plurality of buoys 22 are distributed below the buoys 22 in an equidistant circular array. The outer wall of the buoys 22 is fixedly connected to a plurality of connecting frames 23. The connecting frames 23 are fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the disc 21. The connecting frames 23 serve to connect the buoys 22 and the disc 21 to ensure the stability of the entire floating assembly 2.
[0030] The limiting component 3 is arranged inside the oil storage tank 1 and is used to limit the floating component 2;
[0031] The pressure relief assembly 5 is arranged outside the oil storage tank 1 and is used to discharge the internal pressure of the oil storage tank 1 .
[0032] A plurality of vent holes 11 are provided through the top of the oil storage tank 1, and a fixed pipe 12 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the oil storage tank 1. One end of the fixed pipe 12 passes through the outer wall of the oil storage tank 1 and extends to the interior. A hose 4 is fixedly connected between the top of the disc 21 at one end of the fixed pipe 12, and the hose 4 can adapt to the lifting and lowering of the disc 21 so that the disc 21 is always connected to the fixed pipe 12.
[0033] The limiting assembly 3 includes a limiting rod 31 and a limiting ring 32. The number of limiting rods 31 is set to be multiple. The outer wall of the limiting rod 31 slides through the end of the disc 21. The top and bottom ends of the limiting rod 31 are respectively fixed to the top surface and the bottom surface of the oil storage tank 1. The limiting ring 32 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1, and the limiting ring 32 is arranged above the disc 21 to limit the upward movement of the disc 21 on the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1. The limiting rod 31 ensures that the disc 21 can only slide stably in the vertical direction and will not deviate. When the disc 21 rises to a certain height, the limiting ring 32 will prevent it from continuing to move upward, thereby limiting the rising stroke of the disc 21.
[0034] Figures 1-4The second embodiment is shown, which mainly differs from the first embodiment in that the pressure relief assembly 5 includes a pressure relief cylinder 51 installed at the bottom end of the fixed pipe 12 through a flange, and a piston 52 is provided on the inner wall of the pressure relief cylinder 51. When the internal pressure of the oil storage tank 1 increases, the gas pushes the piston 52 to move downward to achieve the pressure relief function. The outer wall of the piston 52 is close to the inner wall of the pressure relief cylinder 51 and can slide up and down. The bottom end of the piston 52 is fixedly connected to a sliding rod 53, and the outer wall of the sliding rod 53 slides through the inner bottom surface of the pressure relief cylinder 51 and extends downward. The bottom end of the sliding rod 53 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 55, and the top surface of the limiting block 55 contacts the bottom surface of the pressure relief cylinder 51, which is used to limit the upward travel of the piston 52 on the inner wall of the pressure relief cylinder 51. The sliding rod 53 moves with the piston 52, and the limiting block 55 at the bottom end limits the upward travel of the piston 52 on the inner wall of the pressure relief cylinder 51, ensuring the stability of the movement of the piston 52. The sleeve is provided with a spring 54, the top and bottom ends of the spring 54 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the piston 52 and the inner bottom surface of the oil storage tank 1 respectively. The spring 54 is compressed when the pressure increases, and the elastic restoring force pushes the piston 52 upward when the pressure decreases, and returns to the initial position to prepare for the next pressure relief. The outer wall of the pressure relief cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to a pressure relief pipe 56, and the outer wall of the pressure relief pipe 56 is fixedly sleeved with a threaded pipe 57. A filter element 510 is placed inside the threaded pipe 57, and a threaded cover 58 is threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the threaded pipe 57. An air outlet 59 is opened at one end of the threaded cover 58. The toxic components in the exhaust gas can be effectively filtered out through the filter element 510 to ensure that the exhaust gas is relatively pure, reducing pollution to the environment and potential harm to personnel. The threaded cover 58 is removed from the threaded pipe 57 to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the filter element 510, and the gas can be discharged smoothly through the air outlet 59.
[0035] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0036] When oil is stored in the oil storage tank 1, the float 22 floats on the surface of the oil due to the buoyancy. Since the disc 21 is located above the disc 21, the disc 21 and the oil surface maintain a relatively fixed space, and the volatilized gas of the oil is in this space. As the oil level changes during actual use, the disc 21 slides downward along the inner wall of the oil storage tank 1, so that the space between the disc 21 and the oil surface does not change significantly, thereby avoiding the accumulation of a large amount of volatilized gas due to excessive space, reducing safety hazards. When the volatilized gas of the oil accumulates to a certain extent, the pressure increases, and the high-pressure gas will It passes through the hose 4 and the fixed tube 12 in turn and enters the pressure relief cylinder 51, pushing the piston 52 downward and compressing the spring 54 at the same time. When the piston 52 is pushed down to a certain extent by the gas, the gas in the pressure relief cylinder 51 is discharged through the pressure relief pipe 56. When the pressure decreases, the elastic restoring force of the spring 54 pushes the piston 52 to move upward and return to its initial position. The gas discharged through the pressure relief pipe 56 can effectively filter the toxic components in the gas when passing through the filter element 510, ensuring that the discharged gas is relatively pure, reducing pollution to the environment and potential harm to personnel, thereby further reducing safety hazards.
