DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-5 The present application provides a technical solution: an alcohol-based fuel storage tank constant temperature control device, comprising an alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1 and a constant temperature control shell 2. The constant temperature control shell 2 is hollow. The alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1 is located in the middle of the constant temperature control shell 2 and extends out of the constant temperature control shell 2 at both ends. A constant temperature space 3 is formed between the middle position of the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1 and the constant temperature control shell 2. A temperature reduction spray assembly 4 and a temperature increase heating assembly 5 are respectively arranged in the constant temperature space 3. The temperature reduction spray assembly 4 and the temperature increase heating assembly 5 respectively spray and heat the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1. A temperature sensor 6 and a pressure sensor 7 are respectively arranged at the upper end of the constant temperature control shell 2. The temperature sensor 6 and the pressure sensor 7 respectively extend into the constant temperature space 3.

[0024] The alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1 is a main container for storing alcohol-based fuel, and the constant temperature control shell 2 extends from both ends to facilitate the connection of external pipelines or equipment. The constant temperature control shell 2 is a hollow structure that surrounds the middle part of the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1, forming a closed constant temperature space 3. The design purpose of the constant temperature control shell 2 is to isolate the influence of the external environment on the temperature inside the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1 and provide a microenvironment that is easy to control to regulate the temperature inside the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1. Temperature sensor 6 and pressure sensor 7 are installed at the upper end of the constant temperature control shell 2 and extend into the constant temperature space 3 to monitor the changes in temperature and pressure in real time. These data can be fed back to the control system to automatically adjust the working state of the cooling spray assembly 4 and the heating assembly 5, ensuring that the temperature in the constant temperature space 3 is maintained within a predetermined safe range. When the cooling spray assembly 4 detects that the temperature in the constant temperature space 3 is too high, the cooling spray assembly is activated to spray cooling liquid into the constant temperature space 3 to lower the ambient temperature and indirectly cool the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1. If the temperature in the constant temperature space 3 is too low, the heating assembly 5 will be activated. It can transfer energy to the constant temperature space 3 in the form of steam to heat the surrounding air and keep the fuel in the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1 within the appropriate temperature range. It can also collect waste heat generated during production and use industrial waste heat for heating, which can save a lot of energy.

[0025] Specifically, the constant temperature control shell 2 includes an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22. The upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 are mirror images arranged on the upper and lower ends of the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1. The upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 are respectively provided with an upper extension edge 211 and a lower extension edge 221 at one end adjacent to each other. The upper extension edge 211 and the lower extension edge 221 are fixedly connected by a plurality of fastening bolts. The lower shell 22 is provided with a support assembly 8 at the lower end. The side wall of the lower shell 22 is provided with an auxiliary support assembly 9.

[0026] Dividing the constant temperature control shell 2 into an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22 facilitates production and installation. If a part is damaged or needs to be repaired, it can be replaced individually without affecting other parts. The combination of the upper extension edge 211, the lower extension edge 221, and the fastening bolts simplifies the on-site assembly process and improves construction efficiency.

[0027] Specifically, the cooling spray assembly 4 comprises a water inlet pipe 41, a water outlet pipe 42, a water inlet valve 43, a water outlet valve 44, a hollow cavity 45, and a spray head 46. The water inlet pipe 41 is fixedly installed at the middle of the upper end of the upper shell 21. The water inlet valve 43 is fixedly installed at one end of the water inlet pipe 41. The hollow cavity 45 is opened in the interior of the upper shell 21 and communicates with the water inlet pipe 41. The spray head 46 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the upper shell 21 and communicates with the hollow cavity 45. The spray head 46 is linearly arranged along the length direction of the constant-temperature space 3 and circumferentially arranged at an angle within the circumferential direction of the constant-temperature space 3. The water outlet pipe 42 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the lower shell 22, and the water outlet valve 44 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the water outlet pipe 42.

[0028] When the temperature sensor 6 detects that the temperature in the constant-temperature space 3 exceeds the preset value, the external control system starts the cooling spray assembly 4. The water inlet pipe 41 is connected to the external liquid supply equipment. At this time, the water inlet valve 43 is opened. The cooling liquid enters the hollow cavity 45 through the water inlet pipe 41 and is uniformly sprayed to the surface of the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1 from the plurality of spray heads 46. The uniform layout of the spray heads 46 ensures that the cooling liquid can fully cover the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1, realizing efficient heat exchange. After the cooling liquid absorbs the heat in the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1 and the surrounding air, it flows to the lower shell 22 by gravity and is finally discharged through the water outlet pipe 42 and the water outlet valve 44.

[0029] Specifically, the heating assembly 5 comprises a connecting head one 51, a connecting head two 52, and a spiral heating pipe 53. The connecting head one 51 and the connecting head two 52 are respectively arranged at the upper end of the upper shell 21. The spiral heating pipe 53 is arranged in the constant-temperature space 3 and spirally arranged on the outer wall of the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1. A gap is left between the spiral heating pipe 53 and the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1. The two ends of the spiral heating pipe 53 are respectively connected to the connecting head one 51 and the connecting head two 52.

[0030] When it is necessary to heat the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1, the external heat source enters the spiral heating pipe 53 through the connecting head one 51, flows along the spiral path while transferring heat to the surrounding air. Due to the spiral arrangement of the spiral heating pipe 53, it can maximize the coverage of the outer surface of the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1, ensuring that the heat is uniformly and efficiently transferred to the alcohol-based fuel inside the alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1. The heat medium finally flows out through the connecting head two 52, completing a cycle.

[0031] Specifically, the support assembly 8 is mirror-imaged and arranged at the lower end of the lower shell 22. The support assembly 8 includes a support plate 81, support legs 82, and a reinforcement plate 83. The support plate 81 is symmetrically mounted on the lower end of the lower shell 22, and the support legs 82 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the lower end of the support plate 81. The reinforcement plate 83 is fixedly mounted on the end of the support leg 82.

[0032] The support components 8 are arranged at both ends of the lower housing 22 in a mirror-symmetrical manner. This design is not only aesthetically pleasing, but more importantly, it ensures balanced force on both sides, avoiding structural deformation or damage caused by excessive force on one side.

[0033] Specifically, the auxiliary support assembly 9 is mirror-imaged on both sides of the lower shell 22. The auxiliary support assembly 9 includes an L-shaped rod 91 and an auxiliary support plate 92. The auxiliary support plate 92 is disposed at the lower end of the alcohol-based fuel storage tank 1. The auxiliary support plate 92 and the lower shell 22 are fixedly connected via the L-shaped rod 91. The L-shaped rod 91 is arranged in a circular array between the auxiliary support plate 92 and the lower shell 22.

[0034] One end of the L-shaped rod 91 is fixed to the auxiliary support plate 92, and the other end is fixed to the lower shell 22 to form a stable connection. The auxiliary support plate 92 provides auxiliary support to increase the placement stability of the alcohol-based fuel storage tank 1. The auxiliary support plate 92 can add anti-slip material or coating on its surface to increase friction and prevent sliding.

[0035] Working principle: alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1 is used to store alcohol-based fuel main container, both ends extend out constant temperature control shell 2, in order to connect external pipeline or equipment, constant temperature control shell 2 is a hollow structure, surrounds the middle part of alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1, forms a closed constant temperature space 3, the design purpose of constant temperature control shell 2 is to isolate the influence of external environment on the temperature inside alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1, and provide a micro environment to adjust the temperature in alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1, temperature sensor 6 and pressure sensor 7 are installed at the upper end of constant temperature control shell 2 and extend to the inside of constant temperature space 3, to monitor the change of temperature and pressure in real time, these data can be fed back to the control system, and the working state of cooling spray assembly 4 and heating assembly 5 is automatically adjusted, to ensure that the temperature in constant temperature space 3 is maintained in a preset safe interval, when cooling spray assembly 4 detects that the temperature in constant temperature space 3 is too high, cooling spray assembly is started, and cooling liquid is sprayed into constant temperature space 3 to reduce the ambient temperature, indirectly cooling alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1, if the temperature in constant temperature space 3 is too low, heating assembly 5 will be activated, which can transfer energy to constant temperature space 3 in the form of steam, thereby heating the surrounding air, so that the fuel in alcohol-based fuel storage tank body 1 is kept in the appropriate temperature range, and waste heat generated during production can be collected and used for heating, which can save a lot of energy.
