Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas storage, and more specifically, it relates to a stable structure for a gas storage tank. Background Technology
[0002] Gas storage tanks are devices specifically designed for storing gases. They play a significant role in gas storage. Natural gas is poured into the gas storage tank through the gas inlet at the top of the tank via a gas pipe for storage. During the filling process, excessively fast filling speed, excessively high or low filling pressure can cause excessive pressure fluctuations inside the gas storage tank, thereby triggering vibrations.
[0003] The design in CN213394581U includes a buffer device and sound insulation cotton installed between the gas storage tank and the pressure regulating gas storage tank to prevent the gas storage tank from vibrating and impacting the inner wall of the tank, causing damage to the tank wall. However, this utility model only provides a buffer design for the surrounding area. If the airflow channel is not designed properly or there are obstacles when the gas enters or exits the gas storage tank, the airflow may be unstable, resulting in vibration.
[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a stable gas storage tank structure.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: it includes a gas storage tank, a shell is installed on the outer surface of the gas storage tank, the shell is hollow inside and a buffer device is installed at the upper opening, the top of the buffer device abuts against the bottom wall of the gas storage tank, and when the buffer device is subjected to the downward force of the gas storage tank, it reduces the vertical impact force generated by the gas storage tank on the shell.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of installing a shell on the outer surface of the gas storage tank, with the shell being hollow inside and a buffer device installed at the upper opening, brings significant benefits to the buffering effect of the gas storage tank. The buffer device directly abuts between the bottom wall of the gas storage tank and the shell. When the gas storage tank is subjected to internal gas pressure or other external forces, the buffer device can quickly absorb and disperse these impact forces. This design effectively reduces the direct impact of the gas storage tank on the shell, thereby protecting the integrity of the shell. Through the intervention of the buffer device, the shaking and vibration of the gas storage tank under external forces are effectively suppressed. The buffer device can reduce the direct contact between the gas storage tank and the shell, thereby reducing wear caused by friction and collision. The buffer device is usually made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, which can maintain stable performance in harsh working environments. The presence of the buffer device helps stabilize the gas pressure inside the gas storage tank and reduce vibration and impact caused by pressure fluctuations. By reducing the vibration and shaking of the gas storage tank, the buffer device helps maintain the uniform distribution of gas inside the gas storage tank.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the buffer device includes a base, several buffer springs and a base, the base abuts against the bottom end of the gas storage tank, the bottom end of the base is fixedly connected to several buffer springs, and the base is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the internal cavity of the housing.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the buffer device includes a base, a buffer spring, a base, etc. The base moves on the upper end of the base through the buffer spring, and the gas tank is placed on the top of the base. When the gas tank is subjected to an impact force and exerts a downward force on the base, the buffer spring will alleviate this downward force, thereby reducing the possibility of collision.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: an inner clamping plate and an outer clamping plate are fixedly connected to the upper end face of the base, and the bottom end of the base support is slidably connected between the inner clamping plate and the outer clamping plate.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, an inner clamping plate and an outer clamping plate are installed at the top of the base, and the bottom end of the base is located between the inner clamping plate and the outer clamping plate. The inner clamping plate and the outer clamping plate limit the movement of the base. When the gas tank is subjected to an impact force and the direction of the impact force is deviated, the inner clamping plate and the outer clamping plate can fix the movement range of the base and prevent it from deviating from the track.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: an upper rod and a fixing nail are provided on the outer wall of the gas storage tank; the upper rod is fixed to the side wall of the gas storage tank by the fixing nail; a telescopic rod is provided on the lower side wall of the upper rod; the telescopic rod is slidably connected to the upper rod; and the bottom end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer wall of the gas storage tank is fixedly connected to the upper rod by fixing nails, and the lower end of the upper rod is slidably connected to the telescopic rod. The telescopic rod can further limit the horizontal movement range of the gas storage tank, and the telescopic rod will not be affected when the gas storage tank moves up and down.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: a plurality of retaining rings and a plurality of rubber strips are installed on the inner wall of the housing, a gap is formed between two adjacent retaining rings, the gap is filled with sound insulation cotton, and the rubber strips are arranged at equal intervals on the inner wall of the housing.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, installing rubber strips and retaining rings on the inner wall of the shell can effectively strengthen the structure of the shell. At the same time, sound insulation cotton, heat insulation materials and other substances can be placed between these rubber strips and retaining rings to protect the gas storage tank.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that an air inlet and a safety valve are installed at the top of the gas storage tank.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the gas inlet and safety valve of the gas storage tank are installed at the top, which facilitates operation.
[0018] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: by installing a buffer device at the bottom of the shell to buffer the downward impact force of the gas tank, by having the bottom support abut against the bottom of the gas tank and the buffer spring to buffer the impact, and by installing the bottom of the bottom support between the inner and outer clamping plates on the base to stabilize the buffer device, the impact force on the gas tank is reduced, making it more stable.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example
[0023] As shown in Figure 1, a stable gas storage tank structure is provided. A shell 1 is installed on the outer surface of the gas storage tank 2. A buffer device is installed at the bottom of the shell 1. The top of the buffer device abuts against the top of the gas storage tank 2. When the buffer device is subjected to the downward force of the gas storage tank 2, it reduces the impact force generated by the gas storage tank on the shell 1. An upper rod 221 and a fixing nail 222 are provided on the outer wall of the gas storage tank 2. The upper rod 221 is fixed to the side wall of the gas storage tank 2 by the fixing nail 222. A telescopic rod 22 is provided on the lower side wall of the upper rod 221. The telescopic rod 22 is slidably connected to the upper rod 221. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the shell 1. Several fixed rings 11 and several rubber strips 12 are installed on the inner wall of the shell 1. There is an equal distance between the fixed rings 11 and the rubber strips 12 are arranged at equal intervals on the inner wall of the shell 1. An air inlet 24 and a safety valve 25 are installed at the top of the gas storage tank 2.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the buffer device includes a base 23, several buffer springs 231 and a base 21. The base 23 abuts against the bottom of the gas storage tank 2. Several buffer springs 231 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 23. The base 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 1. An inner clamping plate 211 and an outer clamping plate 212 are fixedly connected to the outer ring of the top of the base 21. The bottom of the base 23 is installed between the inner clamping plate 211 and the outer clamping plate 212.
[0025] This device uses a buffer device installed at the bottom of the housing 1 to cushion the downward impact force on the gas storage tank 2. During filling and emptying, if the gas pressure in the gas storage tank 2 is unstable, an impact force will occur, causing the gas storage tank 2 to collide with the housing 1. The filling and emptying points of the gas storage tank 2 are usually located at the top. When filling or emptying gas from the top, the impact on the gas storage tank 2 is mostly from top to bottom. Therefore, a buffer device is installed at the bottom to cushion the downward impact force. The buffer device includes a base 23, a buffer spring 231, and a base 21. The base 23 is supported by the buffer spring 231 on the base... The upper part of the base 21 is movable, and the gas tank 2 is placed on the top of the base 23. When the gas tank 2 is impacted and exerts a downward force on the base 23, the buffer spring 231 will relieve this downward force, thereby reducing the possibility of collision. An inner clamping plate 211 and an outer clamping plate 212 are installed on the top of the base 21. The bottom end of the base 23 is located between the inner clamping plate 211 and the outer clamping plate 212. The inner clamping plate 211 and the outer clamping plate 212 limit the movement of the base 23. When the direction of the impact force on the gas tank 2 is deviated, the inner clamping plate 211 and the outer clamping plate 212 can fix the range of motion of the base 23 and prevent it from deviating from the track.
[0026] The outer wall of the gas tank 2 is fixedly connected to the upper rod 221 by fixing nails 222. The lower end of the upper rod 221 is slidably connected to the telescopic rod 22. The telescopic rod 22 can further limit the horizontal movement range of the gas tank 2. When the gas tank 2 moves up and down, the telescopic rod 22 will not be affected. The installation of rubber strips 12 and fixing rings 11 on the inner wall of the shell 1 can effectively strengthen the structure of the shell 1. At the same time, sound insulation cotton, heat insulation materials and other substances can be placed between these rubber strips 12 and fixing rings 11 to protect the gas tank 2. The air inlet 24 and safety valve 25 of the gas tank 2 are installed at the top position for easy operation.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
