[0029] Example 1, as Figures 1-4 As shown, the support ring structure for a cryogenic pressure vessel includes an outer ring 1 and an inner ring 4. The inner wall of the outer ring 1 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the inner ring 4. Several auxiliary devices 2 are provided on the outer surface of the inner ring 4. Each auxiliary device 2 includes an arc-shaped plate 22. Several grooves 21 are formed on the outer surface of the inner ring 4. The arc-shaped plate 22 is located inside the grooves 21. Two round rods 23 are fixedly connected to one end of the arc-shaped plate 22. The outer surfaces of the round rods 23 slide on the inner wall of the inner ring 4. Several cylinders 25 are fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the outer ring 1. The outer surfaces of the round rods 23 slide on the inner wall of the cylinders 25. A spring 24 is provided at one end of each round rod 23. The two ends of the spring 24 are fixedly connected to one end of the round rod 23 and one end of the inner wall of the cylinder 25, respectively. By using the arc-shaped plate 22, when welding the inner liner of the pressure vessel to the outer shell using the support ring structure, the outer side of the outer ring 1 is pressed against the inner wall of the outer shell for welding, thus connecting the outer surface of the inner liner to each arc-shaped plate 25. Welding is performed on one side of plate 22. During the use of the pressure vessel, if the inner liner deforms due to thermal expansion and contraction, the arc plate 22 on the deformed side of the inner liner will move inside the groove 21, causing the two round rods 23 at one end of the arc plate 22 to slide and stretch or compress the spring 24 on the inner wall of the cylinder 25 to adapt to the deformation of the inner liner. After the inner liner returns to its original shape, the spring 24 will pull or push the arc plate 22 back to its original position. By setting the auxiliary device 2, when installing the inner and outer liner of the low-temperature pressure vessel with the help of the support ring structure, the outer ring 1 is welded to the inner wall of the outer liner, and the inner liner is welded to one side of each arc plate 22. When the inner liner deforms due to thermal expansion and contraction, the movement of the arc plate 22 and the deformation force of the spring 24 allow the arc plate 22 and the inner liner to move slightly relative to the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 4, so as to avoid the inner ring 4 being directly subjected to deformation force and breaking deformation during long-term use, which would affect normal use.
