Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of concrete full-capacity LNG storage tanks, and in particular to a LNG storage tank sealing device transportation and auxiliary installation device. Background Art

[0002] In a chemical natural gas concrete full-containment LNG storage tank, the tank structure is a vertical cylindrical structure consisting of an outer tank and an inner tank. The outer tank is a reinforced concrete structure consisting of a base, walls, and dome. A spherical steel structure is attached to the lower surface of the dome, forming a spherical crown, called the vault. During the vault installation, external pressure equipment is used to pressurize the sealed space formed by the vault structure, the concrete outer wall, and the base (a sealed space is formed using a sealing system), thereby creating a pressure differential between the enclosed space and the external space. The vault structure uses this pressure differential to move, rising from the bottom to the top, and then contacting the steel pressure ring embedded in the top of the outer tank wall. It is then welded to the pressure ring. Therefore, to ensure the sealing effect between the edge of the vault and the concrete outer wall, a sealing device is required around the edge of the vault.

[0003] The existing method for installing the sealing device is to install it manually when the arch is at the bottom. Since there is still a certain height between the arch and the bottom at this time, workers are required to use a ladder to carry the raw materials of the sealing device to climb to a predetermined height to install the sealing device. Since the installation positions are distributed along the circumference of the arch, workers are required to repeatedly move the manual ladder along the circumference during the installation process, which not only has low safety, but also greatly increases manual labor intensity and reduces installation efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems existing in the installation of existing sealing devices, the present invention aims to provide a LNG tank sealing device transportation and auxiliary installation device with high safety, low labor cost and high efficiency.
