Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide storage equipment, in particular to a high-safety carbon dioxide storage tank with an alarm function. Background Art
[0002] A carbon dioxide storage tank is a container used to store carbon dioxide, which is usually stored in a liquid state. When stored in a tank for a long time, carbon dioxide may sometimes vaporize to a certain extent due to the increase in temperature inside the tank, causing the pressure inside the tank to increase. To prevent the tank from rupturing, leaking, or other malfunctions caused by the high pressure, a safety valve is generally installed on the tank to prevent overpressure. When the pressure inside the tank is too high, the safety valve automatically opens and releases gas to ensure the safety of the tank. However, relying solely on the safety valve to release carbon dioxide gas to reduce pressure not only results in a waste of carbon dioxide, increases production costs, but also has an impact on the environment. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present application provides a high-safety carbon dioxide storage tank with an alarm function, which can solve the following problems: relying solely on a safety valve to release carbon dioxide gas to reduce pressure not only causes waste of carbon dioxide and increases production costs, but also has an impact on the environment.
[0004] In the present application, a high-safety carbon dioxide storage tank with an alarm function is provided, comprising a tank body, a safety valve being provided on the tank body, and an alarm being provided at the safety valve, which sounds an alarm when the safety valve automatically opens to exhaust gas; a cooling pipe being provided in the tank body, both ends of the cooling pipe being connected to a section of a delivery pipe outside the tank body, and a switch valve being provided at each end of the cooling pipe, one end of the two delivery pipes being connected to the cooling pipe, and the other end being connected to a cooling water tank, which is used to store coolant, and a water pump being provided at one section of the delivery pipe, and when the switch valve is opened, the water pump can circulate coolant into the cooling pipe to cool the tank body.
[0005] In one embodiment, the cooling tube is spiral-shaped.
[0006] In one embodiment, the diameter of the spiral line in the setting direction of the cooling pipe is half of the inner diameter of the storage tank body.
[0007] In one embodiment, the alarm includes a light.
[0008] In one embodiment, the alarm includes a buzzer.
[0009] In one embodiment, a remote controller is further included for controlling the opening and closing of the switch valve and the start and stop of the water pump.
[0010] In summary, in this application, a high-safety carbon dioxide storage tank with an alarm function has the following beneficial effects compared to the prior art:
[0011] When the temperature inside the tank body rises and gasification occurs, causing the pressure to increase and the safety valve to start discharging gas, the alarm starts to sound. The staff can then circulate the coolant into the cooling pipe inside the tank body to cool the tank body, thereby returning the pressure inside the tank body to normal. After the pressure inside the tank body returns to normal, the alarm ends and the staff can stop the coolant circulation in the cooling pipe. By combining cooling and venting, the pressure inside the tank body can be returned to normal more quickly, effectively reducing carbon dioxide emissions, saving carbon dioxide and protecting the environment.

[0019] The following is a further description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0021] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 A high-safety carbon dioxide storage tank with an alarm function includes a storage tank body 1. The storage tank body 1 is provided with a safety valve 2. The specific structure and setting method of the safety valve 2 are prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0022] See also Figure 2 The safety valve 2 is provided with an alarm 3, which sounds an alarm when the safety valve 2 automatically opens to vent air. The alarm 3 senses the opening and closing of the safety valve 2 via conventional sensors such as a switch sensor (using a limit switch; when the safety valve 2 opens or closes, the switch is triggered, thereby sending a signal to the alarm 3) or a pressure sensor (using a pressure sensor to detect pressure changes on both sides of the safety valve 2; when the safety valve 2 opens, the pressure change triggers the alarm 3). The specific principles and structures of these switch sensors, pressure sensors, or other conventional sensors are conventional and are not described in detail here.
[0023] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 4A cooling pipe 6 is fixedly provided in the tank body 1. The cooling pipe 6 is a hollow pipe. Both ends of the cooling pipe 6 are connected to a delivery pipe 8 outside the tank body 1, and a switch valve 7 is provided at each end of the cooling pipe 6 (the switch valve 7 is located at the connection between the cooling pipe 6 and the delivery pipe 8, and is used to control the opening and closing here). One end of the two delivery pipes 8 is connected to the cooling pipe 6, and the other end is connected to the same cooling water tank 10. The cooling water tank 10 is provided next to the carbon dioxide storage tank for storing coolant. A water pump 9 is provided at one section of the delivery pipe 8. When the switch valve 7 is opened, the water pump 9 can circulate the coolant into the cooling pipe 6 to cool the tank body 1. With this arrangement, when the temperature in the tank body 1 rises and gasification occurs, causing the pressure to increase and the safety valve 2 to start discharging gas, the alarm 3 starts to sound an alarm, and then the staff can circulate the coolant into the cooling pipe 6 in the tank body 1 to cool the tank body 1, thereby returning the pressure in the tank body 1 to normal. After the pressure in the tank body 1 returns to normal, the alarm 3 ends the alarm, and the staff can stop the circulation of the coolant in the cooling pipe 6. By combining cooling and venting, the pressure in the tank body 1 can be returned to normal more quickly, effectively reducing carbon dioxide emissions, saving carbon dioxide and protecting the environment.
[0024] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment, the cooling tube 6 is spirally shaped, and the tank body 1 is generally cylindrical. The axis of the cooling tube 6 is along the central axis of the tank body 1. This configuration provides a larger contact area within the tank body 1 due to the spiral shape of the cooling tube 6, thereby improving cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the diameter of the spiral line of the cooling tube 6 (in the spiral direction) is half the inner diameter of the tank body 1. This configuration results in a more uniform cooling effect.
[0025] See also Figure 2 In one embodiment, the alarm 3 includes a light 4. When the alarm is sounded, the light 4 flashes to alert the staff, which improves the alarm effect. Furthermore, the alarm 3 also includes a buzzer 5. When the alarm is sounded, the buzzer 5 continues to sound, further improving the alarm effect.
[0026] See also Figure 5In one embodiment, a remote controller 11 is further included for controlling the opening and closing of the switch valves 7 and the start and stop of the water pump 9. After an alarm is detected, the two switch valves 7 are first controlled to open, and then the water pump 9 is started to transport coolant to the cooling pipe 6 for cooling; after the alarm ends, the water pump 9 is first controlled to stop, and then the two switch valves 7 are controlled to close. Furthermore, a first button 12 and a second button 13 are provided on the remote controller 11. The first button 12 is used to control the opening and closing of the two switch valves 7, and the second button 13 is used to control the start and stop of the water pump 9. With this arrangement, it is more convenient to operate through the remote controller 11. The specific principle and structure of the remote controller 11 are prior art and will not be introduced in detail here.
