Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of container filling safety, and more particularly to an automatic filling limiting device for a container. Background Art

[0002] The storage and transportation of refrigerated liquefied gas is an extremely special field. The requirements for auxiliary devices installed inside the storage tanks shall be in accordance with the anti-overfilling design requirements of GB / T18442.3-2019 "Fixed Vacuum Insulated Cryogenic Pressure Vessels": the inner container shall be provided with an overflow port. Small cryogenic containers with a geometric volume not exceeding 10 m³ shall also be equipped with an anti-overfilling device. GB / T34510-2017 also has similar requirements for vehicle gas cylinders. It is necessary to ensure that a certain safety space is left at the top of the gas cylinder liner, so an anti-overfilling device needs to be installed in the storage tank liner. In order to prevent accidents caused by overfilling of the tank body, the design and manufacturing units shall propose measures to control the maximum filling volume of the tank body, and the manufacturing unit shall be responsible for the geometric volume less than or equal to 10m³. 3 The cryogenic pressure vessel is equipped with a filling limit device. One of the existing technologies is: overflow port observation + manual valve closing. The main drawback of this technology in the application process is that the cryogenic medium flows out too fast during the pump filling process, and there is no time to close the valve, resulting in overfilling; that is, this technical solution is only applicable to non-pump filling status and cannot be used in all working conditions. The second existing technology is the reserved gas phase space method. This technology pre-sets a small gas phase space tank inside the tank body, which is generally 10% of the total volume. It is a welded closed structure with only a small air intake hole. During the pump filling process, only a very small amount of liquid can flow into the small air intake hole, which can automatically cut off the pump filling process. In actual applications, the internal small tank is often flattened, causing the tank body to be in an abnormal working state. For example, the patent applicant disclosed in Chinese patent publication number CN212745968U a container filling limit device fixed inside the container, comprising a filling limit valve body and a float assembly, wherein the filling limit valve body includes a liquid filling channel connected to the container, and is characterized in that the float assembly is connected to the valve body via a lever assembly, and a flap is also provided in the liquid filling channel connected to the filling limit valve body, one end of the flap is provided with a hinge shaft, and the movable end face of the flap rotating along the hinge shaft forms a movable closed connection with the liquid filling channel, and the other movable end face forms a push connection with the lever assembly (including a soft cable). This patent structure implements the buoyancy transmission through the soft cable in the first stage. Due to the influence of thermal expansion and contraction, there is a hidden danger of unstable buoyancy transmission. The influence of fluid thrust also needs to be considered, so it is necessary to make structural improvements. Summary of the Invention
