Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas storage tank technology, specifically to an explosion-proof gas storage tank structure. Background Technology

[0002] A gas storage tank is a device specifically designed to store gases and stabilize system pressure. Based on the pressure it can withstand, gas storage tanks can be classified as high-pressure, low-pressure, and atmospheric-pressure tanks. Based on the material, they can be classified as carbon steel, low-alloy steel, and stainless steel tanks. A gas storage tank (pressure vessel) generally consists of a cylinder, end caps, flanges, connecting pipes, sealing elements, and supports, and is typically designed to be explosion-proof.

[0003] The support frame of the horizontal gas storage tank is fixed to the tank body by welding. During transportation, it is prone to safety accidents due to severe vibration or accidental collision. Large vibration amplitude can easily generate large pressure inside the gas storage tank, which can easily lead to explosion, combustion and fire. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model discloses an explosion-proof gas storage tank structure, including an explosion-proof tank body 1. A pressure gauge 2 is installed on the top of the explosion-proof tank body 1, and a safety valve 3, which cooperates with the pressure gauge 2, is also installed on the top of the explosion-proof tank body 1. Arc-shaped support plates 4 are installed at both ends of the bottom of the explosion-proof tank body 1, and support blocks 5 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of each support plate 4. The bottom ends of the support blocks 5 located below each support plate 4 are connected by a base plate 6. A shock-absorbing mechanism is provided at the bottom of each support block 5 to reduce vibration. The mechanism includes an upper metal cover 8 and a lower metal cover 9. The upper metal cover 8 is connected to a support block 5. High-damping rubber 10 is filled between the upper metal cover 8 and the lower metal cover 9. A cavity is formed on the lower metal cover 9, and a sleeve 12 is provided in the cavity. A fixing rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the upper metal cover 8, penetrating the high-damping rubber 10 and the lower metal cover 9 and extending into the sleeve 12. A pressure block 14 is connected to the bottom of the fixing rod 11. A shock-absorbing spring 13 is provided between the pressure block 14 and the bottom inner wall of the sleeve 12.

[0018] Pressure gauge 2 can be used to detect the pressure inside the explosion-proof tank 1. When the gas pressure inside the gas tank exceeds the set value due to physical reasons, safety valve 2 can be opened to stabilize and control the pressure in the gas tank.

[0019] Specifically, one side of the support block 5 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped diagonal brace 7 that is connected to the bottom of the support plate 4.

[0020] The top of the base plate 6 is fixedly connected to a reinforcing rod 16 that is connected to the bottom of the diagonal brace 7.

[0021] In this embodiment, the diagonal brace 7 and the reinforcing rod 16 are used to provide stable support for the support plate 4.

[0022] Specifically, a rubber ring 15 is embedded in the lower metal cover 9, through which the fixing rod 11 passes, and the inner wall of the rubber ring 15 is coated with damping grease.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the explosion-proof tank 1 vibrates when it is placed on the ground, the upper metal cover 8 can squeeze the high-damping rubber 10. During this process, the fixing rod 11 can move with the upper metal cover 8 and drive the pressure block 14 to squeeze the shock-absorbing spring 13. At this time, the fixing rod 11 will also move relative to the rubber ring 15 and generate friction with the rubber ring 15 to consume vibration energy.

[0024] Specifically, a support rod 17, which is connected to the bottom center of the support plate 4, is fixedly connected to the top center of the base plate 6.

[0025] In this embodiment, the support rod 17 can provide stable support for the support plate 4.

[0026] Specifically, the support block 5 has a through groove 18.

[0027] In this embodiment, the through slot 18 is provided to facilitate the lifting of the gas tank by a forklift.

[0028] In summary, this explosion-proof gas storage tank structure, by setting a shock-absorbing mechanism at the bottom of the support block 5, allows the upper metal cover 8 to compress the high-damping rubber 10 during the transportation and landing of the explosion-proof tank 1, thereby playing a shock-absorbing and buffering role and preventing violent vibrations from occurring upon landing, which would affect the explosion-proof tank 1.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
