[0030] When detecting tank leaks, existing equipment simply places the tank body on a rotating assembly. It lacks a structure to limit and fix the tank body. This can easily cause the tank body to excessively shift or even detach from the rotating assembly during rotation, thus affecting the final detection effect. Furthermore, the device is typically only suitable for detecting tanks of a certain size and cannot simultaneously detect tanks of different sizes. To address the above issues, an embodiment of the present application provides an LNG tank leak detection device that can fix the tank body 18 and accommodate tank bodies 18 of different sizes.

The tank body 18 is accommodated between the clamping members 703, and at least one clamping member 703 is connected to the fixed plate 701 by an adjusting assembly, and the adjusting assembly is used to change the distance between the corresponding clamping member 703 and the fixed plate 701; the mounting plate 2 extends in the vertical direction, and a first threaded rod 4 extending in the same direction as the mounting plate 2 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 2, and a moving block 8 is engaged with the outer periphery of the first threaded rod 4, and the moving block 8 is slidingly connected to the mounting plate 2, and the first threaded rod 4 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 3 so that the moving block 8 moves up and down along the first threaded rod 4, and a detector 9 is provided on the side of the moving block 8 facing the turntable 6.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the moving block 8 is provided with adjustment grooves 11 on both sides relative to the first threaded rod 4, and the moving block 8 is provided with an adjustment rod 10 relative to the adjustment groove 11. The adjustment rod 10 is extended into the adjustment groove 11, and the distance between the detector 9 and the tank body 18 is adjusted by adjusting the relative position between the adjustment rod 10 and the adjustment groove 11; the relative position of the adjustment rod 10 and the adjustment groove 11 is fixed by a fixing structure.

[0034] Specifically, the fixing structure includes: threaded holes 12 respectively arranged on the moving block 8 and the adjusting rod 10, the threaded hole 12 on the moving block 8 is vertical and passes through the adjusting slot 11; a fixing bolt 13, one end of the fixing bolt 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 12 on the moving block 8 and any one of the threaded holes 12 on the adjusting rod 10 in sequence.

[0035] Specifically, the adjustment assembly includes a second threaded rod 702 connecting the clamping member 703 and the fixed plate 701. The second threaded rod 702 passes through the fixed plate 701 and engages with the fixed plate 701. The second threaded rod 702 is located at one end of the fixed plate 701 away from the clamping member 703 and is provided with a handle 705.

[0036] Specifically, an accommodating cavity is formed inside the clamping member 703, one end of the second threaded rod 702 passes through the side wall of the clamping member 703 and extends into the accommodating cavity where a stopper 706 is provided. The stopper 706 is movably installed in the accommodating cavity to drive the second threaded rod 702 to rotate relative to the clamping member 703 through the handle 705. The stopper 706 is used to prevent the second threaded rod 702 from falling out of the accommodating cavity.

[0037] Specifically, the surface of the clamping member 703 facing the storage tank body 18 is a curved surface, which matches the outer surface of the storage tank body 18; an anti-slip pad 704 is provided on the curved surface. In the embodiment of the present application, the specific material of the anti-slip pad 704 is soft silicone.

[0039] Specifically, the reduction motor 16 is arranged above the base 1 , and gears 17 are sleeved on the rotating rod 5 and the output shaft of the reduction motor 16 , and the two gears 17 are engaged with each other to drive the rotating rod 5 to rotate through the reduction motor 16 .

[0040] Specifically, the top of the mounting plate 2 is bent toward the horizontal plane, so that the driving motor 3 can be fixed through the bent end of the top of the mounting plate 2 .

[0041] Specifically, a limiting groove 14 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 2 facing the moving block 8, and the limiting groove 14 extends in the same direction as the first threaded rod 4. A limiting block 15 matching the limiting groove 14 is provided on the moving block 8. The limiting block 15 is placed in the limiting groove 14 to limit the sliding direction of the moving block 8. The limiting block 15 combined with the limiting groove 14 can prevent the moving block 8 from rotating with the rotation of the first threaded rod 4.

[0042] The working principle and usage process of the embodiment of the present application are as follows: the storage tank body 18 is placed on the turntable 6, and the two sets of handles 705 are rotated in sequence so that the two sets of clamping members 703 are respectively attached to the two sides of the bottom end of the storage tank body 18. The anti-slip pad 704 can improve the anti-slip property of the clamping side of the clamping member 703 and prevent the clamping member 703 from causing wear of the storage tank body 18; the two sets of bolts 13 are rotated in sequence so that the threaded ends of the two sets of bolts 13 are disengaged from the adjusting rod 10 and are located in the threaded holes 12 of the moving block 8. At this time, the bolts 13 do not limit the adjusting rod 10, and the detector 9 is moved so that the detector 9 is close to the storage tank body 18. The two sets of bolts 13 are rotated so that the two sets of bolts 13 are threadedly connected to the closest one on the adjusting rod 10. The adjusting rod 10 can be limited by the bolt 13 in the threaded hole 12 of the group, and the position of the adjusting rod 10 and the detector 9 are fixed; the driving motor 3 and the reduction motor 16 are started, and the driving motor 3 can drive the moving block 8 to move up and down, and then drive the detector 9 to move up and down, and the reduction motor 16 can drive the rotating rod 5 to rotate slowly, and then drive the tank body 18 on the turntable 6 to rotate slowly, which can facilitate the detector 9 to detect different positions of the tank body 18. At the later stage, the parts blocked by the two groups of fixed components 7 can be tested separately to complete the whole detection of the tank body 18. Moreover, since the fixed component 7 is narrow and the blocking range is small, it is simple and easy to implement to detect the blocked part separately.

[0043] The present invention provides an LNG tank leakage detection device: 1) by setting a fixing component 7, a plurality of clamping parts 703 are used to clamp the tank body 18, and the anti-slip pad 704 can improve the anti-slip property of the clamping side of the clamping part 703 and prevent the clamping part 703 from causing wear of the tank body 18. During the detection process, the tank body 18 is limited and fixed, and the tank body 18 is not easy to move, thereby improving the accuracy of the final detection result; 2) the clamping spacing between the two groups of fixing components 7 can be easily adjusted, which can adapt to the limit fixation of tanks of different specifications and sizes; 3) by adjusting the relative position between the adjusting rod 10 and the adjusting slot 11 to adjust the distance between the detector 9 and the tank body 18, the detector 9 is brought close to tanks of different specifications and sizes, and finally can adapt to the detection of tanks of different specifications and sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the equipment.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
