[0019] The utility model will be explained in detail in connection with each embodiment shown in the drawings, but it should be explained that these embodiments are not the limitation of the utility model, and the equivalent transformation or replacement of function, method or structure made by the ordinary skill in the art according to these embodiments are all within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0021] As Figure 1 The utility model discloses a methanol storage tank, including: first tank body 1, second tank body 2 and heat insulation component 3, first tank body 1 sets up at the outside of second tank body 2 and completely covers second tank body 2, and there is a gap between first tank body 1 and second tank body 2, heat insulation component 3 fills in the gap between first tank body 1 and second tank body 2, the top of first tank body 1 is equipped with explosion vent 4, and explosion vent 4 extends to the top of the inner wall of second tank body 2 through heat insulation component 3, the bottom of the outer wall of first tank body 1 is provided with liquid inlet 5 and liquid outlet 6, and liquid inlet 5 extends to the top of the inner wall of second tank body 2 through heat insulation component 3, and liquid outlet 6 extends to the bottom of the inner wall of second tank body 2 through heat insulation component 3, and support leg 7 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of first tank body 1. By setting heat insulation component 3 between first tank body 1 and second tank body 2, the methanol stored in second tank body 2 can be prevented from volatilizing due to the change of external environment temperature. The volatile methanol is isolated from the spark by explosion vent 4, preventing explosion accidents.
[0022] Extending liquid inlet 5 to the top of second tank body 2 facilitates filling the storage tank with constant pressure. If liquid is filled from the bottom, the pressure needs to be increased as the liquid in the tank increases. In addition, the flow from the top of second tank body 2 needs to be maintained at a relatively slow speed when filling methanol.
[0023] As Figure 2 The heat insulation component 3 includes a first heat insulation layer 31, a vacuum layer 32, and a second heat insulation layer 33. The vacuum layer 32 is fixedly arranged between the first tank body 1 and the second tank body 2. The first heat insulation layer 31 is filled between the vacuum layer 32 and the first tank body 1. The second heat insulation layer 33 is filled between the vacuum layer 32 and the second tank body 2. The multiple layers of the first heat insulation layer 31, the vacuum layer 32, and the second heat insulation layer 33 improve the heat insulation effect and prevent methanol from volatilizing.
[0024] The vacuum layer 32 is welded to the first tank body 1 and the second tank body 2 by a plurality of fixing rods 34. The vacuum layer 32, the first tank body 1, and the second tank body 2 are coaxially arranged. The fixing rods 34 are arranged in a ring array around the axis of the second tank body 2. The fixing rods 34 fix the vacuum layer 32, the first tank body 1, and the second tank body 2. The small thermal conductivity of the vacuum layer 32 achieves better heat insulation effect. The vacuum layer 32 is a hollow and sealed structure formed by welding a metal plate.
[0025] The fixing rods 34 are arranged in 4-8 groups in the same plane. The fixing of the vacuum layer 32 and the second tank body 2 is more stable through the multiple groups and multiple layers of the fixing rods 34.
[0026] In the production process, first, a part of the bottom of the second tank body 2 is welded, then one end of the fixing rod 34 is welded around the outer wall of the bottom of the second tank body 2, then the vacuum layer 32 is sleeved from the bottom of the second tank body 2, then the other end of the fixing rod 34 is welded to the inner side of the vacuum layer 32, then the outer metal plate of the vacuum layer 32 is edge-welded, then one end of the fixing rod 34 is welded around the outer wall of the vacuum layer 32, then the bottom of the first tank body 1 is sleeved from the bottom of the second tank body 2, and then the other end of the fixing rod 34 is welded to the inner side of the first tank body 1. The subsequent welding is the welding of increasing the second tank body 2, increasing the fixing rod 34, increasing the vacuum layer 32, and increasing the first tank body 1, until the top is sealed. During the welding process, it needs to be noted that after each welding of the second tank body 2 and the vacuum layer 32 is completed, detection needs to be performed, and the detection standard is 100% RT, and the radiographic testing level is not less than AB level, and the qualified level is not less than II level according to NB / T47013.2-2015; for the welding of the first tank body 1, detection needs to be performed after the welding is completed, and the detection standard is 20% RT, and is not less than 250mm, and the radiographic testing level is not less than AB level, and the qualified level is not less than III level according to NB / T47013.2-2015, and the outer shell joint seam is 100% PT, and is qualified according to NB / T47013.5-2015 I level.
[0027] Meanwhile, the vacuum layer 32, the first tank body 1 and the second tank body 2 adopt S39042 high-performance austenitic stainless steel, the submerged arc welding wire is H10Mn2, and the welding agent is SJ101; the stainless steel-stainless steel: the submerged arc welding wire is H03Cr19Ni12Mo2, and the welding agent is SJ601. The S39042 high-performance austenitic stainless steel has high strength, high corrosion resistance and high wear resistance, and has good weldability, and is suitable for automatic welding, argon arc welding and other welding processes.
[0028] The first heat insulation layer 31 and the second heat insulation layer 33 are both expanded perlite. By utilizing the characteristics of the low-temperature thermal conductivity coefficient 0.028-0.038 W / (m·K), the formaldehyde is stored in a stable temperature environment.

The gas phase equilibrium port 9 can keep the pressure stable through gas exchange when the tank is in overpressure or vacuum, so as to protect the tank from being damaged.
[0032] The above only describes some embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that, for those skilled in the art, other modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
