AI Technical Summary
Existing liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant storage tank reverse-feeding mechanisms cannot cut off the gas supply in time when the internal pressure of the storage tank rises abnormally, which may lead to tank rupture and leakage. External leaks are difficult to locate and repair quickly, which may cause LNG leaks to cause fires or explosions and make emergency repairs difficult.
A reverse liquid inlet mechanism for a liquefied plant storage tank was designed, comprising a locking bolt, a closing valve, and a disconnecting valve. The mechanism utilizes a valve core and sealing plate structure to automatically close the gas delivery channel when the pressure changes, and achieves rapid response and self-protection through a trigger wheel and sealing ball mechanism.
It can automatically shut off the gas transmission channel when there is abnormal pressure inside or outside the storage tank, preventing liquefied natural gas leakage, protecting facility and environmental safety, simplifying operating procedures, and improving the ability to respond to emergencies.

[0031] Working principle: when the mechanism works, the locking bolt 6 will be connected through the storage tank 1, the closing valve 3, the cut-off valve 5 and the connecting pipe 4, when the liquefied natural gas tank truck arrives at the factory, the unloading hose is communicated with the connecting pipe 4, the liquefied natural gas tank truck is started, the liquefied natural gas in the liquefied natural gas tank truck is input into the unloading hose through the centrifugal pump, the liquefied natural gas enters the storage tank 1 through the unloading hose, the connecting pipe 4, the closing valve 3 and the cut-off valve 5, and is stored in the storage tank 1, when the internal pressure of the storage tank 1 rises beyond the standard requirement, the cut-off valve 5 is started to close the internal gas conveying passage, preventing the pressure from being too large, causing the storage tank 1 to rupture and leak, affecting the safety of the surrounding environment; when leakage occurs outside the storage tank 1, the cut-off valve 5 is started to close the internal gas conveying passage, preventing a large amount of liquefied natural gas from leaking, causing a fire or explosion, at the same time, facilitating subsequent repair work, when the equipment pipeline is repaired, one side of the closing valve 3 can be closed according to the repair requirement, the storage tank 1 and the pipeline leakage repair time are shortened, and the liquefied natural gas leakage is reduced.
[0032] When the internal pressure of the storage tank 1 rises beyond the standard requirement, the internal pressure of the storage tank 1 rises at the same time, the internal pressure of the housing 501 of the cut-off valve 5 rises, under the action of the sealing ring 520, the internal pressure of the housing 501 rises and drives the valve core 515 to move upward, the valve core 515 moves upward and compresses the tension spring 516, the valve core 515 moves upward and pushes the nitrogen on the upper side into the communication pipe 504, the pressure gauge 503 displays the pressure in the communication pipe 504 in real time, the valve core 515 moves upward and drives the support rod 518 to slide in the guide rail 517, the valve core 515 moves upward and drives the valve rod 505 to move upward, the valve rod 505 moves upward and drives the two trigger blocks 506 to move upward, the two trigger blocks 506 move upward and are out of contact with the two trigger wheels 508, the sealing spring 511 releases pressure and drives the two pressure plates 510 to move towards each other, the two pressure plates 510 move towards each other and drive the two trigger shafts 509 to move towards each other, the two trigger shafts 509 move towards each other and pull the two sealing plates 513 to slide towards the communication plate 512, the sealing plate 513 slides towards the communication plate 512 and drives the sealing ball 514 to close the circular through hole of the communication plate 512, at this time, the two ends of the internal passage of the housing 501 are closed, preventing the liquefied natural gas from continuing to enter the storage tank 1, causing the storage tank 1 to rupture and leak, and affecting the safety of the surrounding environment.
[0033] When the outside of the storage tank 1 leaks, the internal pressure of the storage tank 1 and the equipment pipeline drops, driving the internal pressure of the shell 501 of the disconnection valve 5 to drop. Under the action of the sealing ring 520, the internal pressure of the shell 501 drives the valve core 515 to move downward, stretching the tension spring 516. The downward movement of the valve core 515 reduces the pressure in the communication pipe 504, and the pressure gauge 503 displays the pressure in the communication pipe 504 in real time. The downward movement of the valve core 515 drives the support rod 518 to slide in the guide rail 517, and the downward movement of the valve core 515 drives the valve rod 505 to move downward, driving the two trigger blocks 506 to move downward and disengage from the two trigger wheels 508. The sealing spring 511 releases pressure to drive the two pressure plates 510 to move towards each other, driving the two trigger shafts 509 to move towards each other, pulling the two sealing plates 513 to slide towards the communication plate 512. The sliding of the sealing plate 513 towards the communication plate 512 drives the sealing ball 514 to close the circular hole of the communication plate 512. At this time, the two ends of the internal passage of the shell 501 are closed, preventing the liquefied natural gas in the storage tank 1 and the equipment pipeline from flowing to the leakage site, preventing a large amount of liquefied natural gas from leaking, causing a fire or explosion, and facilitating subsequent repair work.
[0034] When the pressure in the storage tank 1 returns to normal standard and the leakage site is repaired, pull the reset handle 507 upward or press it downward to reset the disconnection valve 5. The reset handle 507 drives the valve rod 505 to move upward and downward, driving the valve core 515 to move upward and downward. The upward and downward movement of the valve core 515 drives the support rod 518 to slide in the guide rail 517, providing a certain support force for the valve core 515 to prevent the valve core 515 from closing the internal passage of the shell 501 due to pressure fluctuations in the storage tank 1 and the equipment pipeline. The upward and downward movement of the valve core 515 resets the tension spring 516. The upward and downward movement of the valve rod 505 drives the two trigger blocks 506 to move upward and downward, driving the two trigger wheels 508 to slide in the opposite direction. The reverse sliding of the two trigger wheels 508 drives the two trigger shafts 509 to slide in the opposite direction, driving the two sealing plates 513 to slide in the opposite direction. The reverse sliding of the two sealing plates 513 drives the sealing ball 514 to disengage from the circular hole of the communication plate 512. At this time, the two ends of the internal passage of the shell 501 are opened, and the liquefied natural gas can continue to be delivered to the storage tank 1.
