[0018] 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.
[0019] Example
[0020] See also Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a spherical concrete oil tank comprising a tank body 11, which is coated, from the outside to the inside, with an inorganic coating 1, a PVDF coating 2, a thermal insulation layer 3, a reinforced concrete layer 4, and an anti-corrosion and anti-seepage layer 5. The thermal insulation layer 3 is made of polyurethane. In this embodiment, the difficulty of forming a "spherical" shape is addressed by using a soft fabric membrane as the building material. Based on the required design appearance, a computer is used to accurately simulate and draw the membrane. The membrane is then cut and spliced into a "spherical" shape, ensuring that the membrane components fit tightly together. Finally, through inflation, the desired architectural contour is firmly formed, effectively solving the difficult problem of spherical building formation and achieving a perfect combination of design concept and construction practice.
[0021] Reduce the middle support pipe: The reinforced concrete structure has good compressive performance. The overall structural design has no beams or columns in the middle, realizing a structural layout that does not require additional support. It has strong mechanical properties, effectively resists wind loads, and demonstrates stronger mechanical properties, ensuring the stability and safety of the structure.
[0022] Excellent blast resistance: The "sphere" reinforced concrete structure is renowned for its exceptional performance, significantly enhancing its ability to withstand force majeure events such as earthquakes and typhoons. Furthermore, when exposed to unexpected and powerful external forces, such as explosions and missile blasts, the structure effectively mitigates the impact of localized damage, ensuring overall structural stability and safety, demonstrating its exceptional blast resistance.
[0023] Superior thermal insulation: The structural layer is composed of multiple layers, each with excellent performance and protective properties. The outer layer is sprayed with a polyurethane layer, which exhibits excellent thermal insulation performance, significantly reducing the impact of atmospheric temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight on the temperature of stored oil. This design effectively isolates heat transfer, thereby lowering the internal ambient temperature, reducing oil volatilization, and achieving the positive effect of reducing oil evaporation losses.
[0024] Excellent fire resistance: The internal reinforced concrete layer is constructed of non-combustible fireproof material, while the outer layer's ultra-fine inorganic cotton finish meets Class A fire protection standards, demonstrating exceptional fire resistance. To further optimize the fire protection design, firebreaks have been added at specific heights within the structural layer, with a thickness of at least 300 mm. This design significantly enhances the structure's fire resistance and significantly improves its fire resistance.
[0025] Good anti-corrosion and anti-seepage layer 5: The outer side of the internal reinforced concrete layer is made of anti-violence polyurea, which can effectively isolate the oil from the concrete, thereby significantly reducing the risk of oil leakage.
[0026] Specifically, a sawtooth-shaped base 6 is provided below the oil tank body 11 .
[0027] In this embodiment, a serrated annular base is specially designed at the key position of the base connection. This unique design is intended to prevent the negative effects that may be caused by leakage to the greatest extent possible and ensure the stability and safety of the overall structure.
[0028] Specifically, the upper surface of the sawtooth base 6 is provided with sawtooth openings 10 , which are evenly distributed sawtooth-shaped openings.
[0029] Specifically, a fixing bolt annular steel belt 9 is provided at the connection between the serrated opening 10 and the oil tank body 11 .
[0030] Specifically, a pile foundation 8 is provided below the sawtooth-shaped base 6 .
[0031] Specifically, a breathing valve 7 is provided above the oil tank body 11 .
[0032] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are: This method is a simple and efficient method for constructing large-diameter spherical concrete oil tanks, with a flexible and adaptable capacity range, which can be expanded according to actual needs. Its core value lies in the excellent performance of reinforced concrete materials, whose excellent durability ensures a stable service life, thereby significantly improving economic benefits.
[0033] This spherical structure demonstrates exceptional structural performance, reducing the complexity of foundation preparation and significantly reducing construction costs. The use of a one-piece molding process ensures the integrity and stability of the tank structure, enabling it to withstand various external forces with exceptional performance. To prevent leakage, we have implemented a variety of advanced measures to effectively minimize the adverse effects of external air and sunlight on the temperature of the stored oil. Furthermore, the tank exhibits high safety features in terms of explosion and fire resistance, further enhancing its application value and safety.
[0034] In summary, this technology has broad application prospects and important practical value.
[0035] The working principle and use process of this utility model: A large "spherical" concrete oil tank, the structure of which mainly includes pile foundation, sawtooth annular base, spherical shell composed of multi-layer composite materials and finely designed detailed structure. Specifically, the sawtooth annular base is detailed in Figure 1 The design has a zigzag oil-isolating seam at the junction of the base and the concrete. The seam is 100mm wide and 200mm deep. It aims to ensure a stable and leak-proof connection between the spherical shell and the concrete base, effectively preventing oil leakage.
[0036] The structure of the spherical shell reflects a high degree of technical integration. From the outside to the inside, it consists of ultra-fine inorganic cotton coating, soft fabric membrane, polyurethane layer, reinforced concrete layer and anti-explosion polyurea layer. Figure 2 In addition, a fireproof isolation zone with a thickness of not less than 300mm is provided at a specific height of the spherical shell. Figure 3 This design significantly optimizes the fire protection performance and greatly enhances the fire protection capability of the oil tank.
[0037] In terms of detailed structure, the top of the oil tank adopts a "rain cap" breathing valve design. Figure 4 This innovative design can effectively connect to the external environment, timely adjust and reduce the pressure inside the spherical building, thereby avoiding the risk of explosion caused by pressure accumulation and ensuring the safe operation of the oil tank.
