[0024] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] A safety device for filling a spherical tank with water includes a spherical tank 100, an external water injection pipeline 200, an internal water injection pipeline 300, and a support 400. A water injection line top valve 110 is installed on the top of the spherical tank 100. One end of the external water injection pipeline 200 is connected to the water injection line top valve 110, and the other end is connected to a water source. One end of the internal water injection pipeline 300 is connected to the water injection line top valve 110, and the other end extends to a position near the bottom of the inner cavity of the spherical tank 100 and is connected to a slow-flow diffuser 310. The support 400 is disposed between the inner wall of the spherical tank 100 and the internal water injection pipeline 300, and the support 400 serves to fix the internal water injection pipeline 300.
[0026] The aforementioned safety device for water injection into the spherical tank includes an in-tank water injection pipeline 300. The in-tank water injection pipeline 300 extends from the top edge of the tank to the bottom edge and is connected to a slow-flow diffuser 310. This slow-flow diffuser 310 at the end of the in-tank water injection pipeline 300 reduces the flow velocity of the water, allowing the water to settle evenly to the bottom of the spherical tank 100. As a result, the bottom of the spherical tank 100 is filled with water of higher density, ensuring that the ignition point or leakage point of the bottom flange is filled with water, thus guaranteeing the safety of property and personnel on site.
[0027] As an example, in this embodiment, the other end of the water injection pipeline 300 extends to a distance of 500mm from the bottom of the inner cavity of the spherical tank 100.
[0028] In one embodiment, the water injection pipeline 300 is vertically installed inside the spherical tank 100.
[0029] In one embodiment, the slow-flow diffuser 310 is Y-shaped and has water passage holes 311.
[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In another embodiment, the plane of the Y-shaped slow-flow diffuser 310 is parallel to the axis of the water injection line 300 inside the tank.
[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the plane of the Y-shaped slow-flow diffuser 310 is perpendicular to the axis of the water injection line 300 inside the tank. It should be noted that, in conjunction with the reference... Figure 5Specifically, the support part 400 comprises a support rod 410 and a hoop 420 fixed to the support rod 410. During installation, the support rod 410 is detachably fixed to the inner wall of the spherical tank 100, and then the hoop 420 is wrapped around the in-tank water injection pipeline 300, and then the hoop 420 is installed on the support rod 410 through bolts and nuts.
[0032] In an embodiment, the bottom of the spherical tank 100 is connected with the in / out material pipeline 120.
[0033] It should be noted that the material in the spherical tank 100 is in gas-liquid two phases, the bottom of the spherical tank is liquid-phase material, and the top is gas-phase material. The existing water injection method is to inject water through the bottom liquid-phase material pipeline, i.e. Figure 1 the in / out material pipeline 120, specifically, the water injection pipeline is connected between the pipeline cut-off valve 121 and the tank bottom hand valve 122. In this arrangement, the bottom liquid-phase material pipeline can be used as a passage for the outflow of the bottom liquid-phase material, and also as a passage for the injection of water into the tank body. Since the bottom liquid-phase material pipeline of the spherical tank 100 has a valve and needs to pass material in both directions, it must be connected to the tank bottom opening and the in / out material, and the in-tank water injection pipeline 300 cannot be directly passed through the tank by setting a slow-flow diffusion pipe 310 in the tank. Therefore, in the present embodiment, water can be directly injected into the tank from the top gas-phase space through the in-tank water injection pipeline 300, without affecting the in / out material pipeline 120 connected to the bottom, thereby achieving better water injection effect.
[0034] In an embodiment, the in / out material pipeline 120 is provided with a pipeline cut-off valve 121 and a tank bottom hand valve 122.
[0035] In an embodiment, the tank bottom water injection control valve 210 is provided on the out-of-tank water injection pipeline 200, the tank bottom water injection control valve 210 is connected with a water injection pump 220, and the water injection pump 220 is connected with a water source.
[0036] As shown in Figure 1 , specifically, the pipeline cut-off valve 121 is electrically connected with a PLC device, the tank bottom water injection control valve 210 is electrically connected with the PLC device, and the water injection pump 220 is electrically connected with the PLC device. The PLC device, i.e. the remote control system, is arranged in a control room, receives various signal sources on site, and controls the related control valves on site, i.e. the pipeline cut-off valve 121 and the tank bottom water injection control valve 210.
[0037] In an embodiment, the water injection pump 220 is installed outside the tank area of the spherical tank 100 to supply water to the out-of-tank water injection pipeline 200 in the tank area.
[0038] The safety device for water injection of the spherical tank is provided with a tank internal water injection pipeline 300, when a fire occurs at the bottom of the spherical tank 100 or the bottom flange of the spherical tank leaks, a remote alarm system receives an on-site alarm signal, immediately closes the pipeline cut-off valve 121, starts the water injection pump 220, opens the tank bottom water injection control valve 210, injects water into the spherical tank 100 from the top of the spherical tank 100, the water enters the spherical tank 100 from top to bottom through the tank internal water injection pipeline 300, and the flow rate of the water is reduced through the slow-flow diffusion pipe 310 at the end of the tank internal water injection pipeline 300, so that the water uniformly settles at the bottom of the spherical tank 100, so that the bottom of the spherical tank 100 is filled with water with a higher density, the bottom flange ignition point or leakage point is filled with water, so as to ensure the safety of the property and personnel on site.
