Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of storage tank force balance, specifically relates to a pressure balance device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The storage tank is a common tank body for storing liquid and other materials in daily life. In the actual use process, when the temperature changes, such as sun exposure or cold night, the liquid in the storage tank will expand or contract with heat or cold, which may cause the pressure in the tank body to rise or fall rapidly. When the pressure in the tank body rises to form overpressure, it will cause the weld to crack, the tank top to deform or even explode; when the pressure in the tank body decreases to form negative pressure, the tank body may be crushed by atmospheric pressure, which will affect the normal use of the storage tank. In addition, when the liquid in the tank body is pumped out, the pressure in the tank body will decrease and form negative pressure, which will affect the pumping of the liquid in the tank body.

[0003] In the prior art, a device for balancing the pressure inside and outside the tank body is disclosed, such as the patent CN215555638U discloses a pressure relief cover and liquid storage tank, which comprises a cover body, a movable blocking piece and an elastic piece, the top wall of the cover body is provided with a pressure relief hole, the movable blocking piece is located on the inner side of the top wall of the cover body, there is a gap between the movable blocking piece and the side wall of the cover body, a limiting piece is arranged in the cover body, the limiting piece is located on the side of the movable blocking piece away from the top wall of the cover body, and the elastic piece is pressed between the limiting piece and the movable blocking piece. The elastic piece can press the movable blocking piece on the top wall of the cover body to close the pressure relief hole. When the pressure inside the pressure relief cover is less than the pressure outside the pressure relief cover, the atmospheric pressure on the outside can exert a force on the movable blocking piece, so that the movable blocking piece moves, the space inside the pressure relief cover can communicate with the outside through the gap between the movable blocking piece and the side wall of the cover body and the pressure relief hole, and the purpose of releasing negative pressure is achieved.

[0004] It is undeniable that the pressure relief cover and liquid storage tank disclosed in the patent can achieve the above effects, but it still has some deficiencies: the movable blocking piece is located in the cover body and above the limiting piece, and the assembly and disassembly are not variable, and since the weight of the movable blocking piece is fixed, it is not convenient to adjust the pressure relief threshold according to the actual needs of the storage tank. In addition, in the actual application process, the storage tank also has the situation that the internal pressure rises to form overpressure, and the device can only release negative pressure, but cannot release overpressure, so there is a certain deficiency in the scope of application.

[0040] Example

[0041] See appendix Figures 1-6 A pressure balancing device, comprising:

[0042] Hollow connector 100;

[0043] A pressure relief cylinder 200 is screwed on the top of the connector 100, and a side wall of the pressure relief cylinder 200 is provided with a pressure relief hole 201; a blocking ring 202 is fixed to an inner wall of the pressure relief cylinder 200 at a position below the pressure relief hole 201;

[0044] An overpressure relief component 300 is arranged in the pressure relief cylinder 200, and includes a lifting cylinder 301 penetrating through the blocking ring 202 and abutting against an inner wall of the blocking ring 202, a limiting plate 302 horizontally fixed to a middle part of the lifting cylinder 301, and a counterweight cylinder 303 screwed on a top of the lifting cylinder 301 and limited to a top of the pressure relief cylinder 200; in this embodiment, an annular accommodating groove 203 corresponding to the counterweight cylinder 303 is arranged on an inner wall of the top of the pressure relief cylinder 200, and the counterweight cylinder 303 abuts against a bottom wall of the accommodating groove 203 when the counterweight cylinder 303 is at an initial position; in addition, a gap is formed between the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 301 and the inner wall of the pressure relief cylinder 200, and the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 301 is abutted against the inner wall of the blocking ring 202; a first communication hole 3011 is arranged on a side wall of the lifting cylinder 301 at a position above the limiting plate 302, and a second communication hole 3012 is arranged on the side wall of the lifting cylinder 301 at a position below the limiting plate 302; the second communication hole 3012 is blocked by the blocking ring 202 when the counterweight cylinder 303 is at the initial position; and a third communication hole 3021 is arranged on the limiting plate 302.

[0045] A negative pressure relief component 400 is arranged in the lifting cylinder 301, and includes a blocking plate 401 below the limiting plate 302, a guide column 402 fixed to a top of the blocking plate 401 and vertically penetrating through a middle part of the limiting plate 302, a counterweight block 403 screwed on a top of the guide column 402, and a return spring 404 sleeved on the guide column 402 and abutting against the counterweight block 403 at a top part of the guide column 402 and abutting against the limiting plate 302 at a bottom part of the guide column 402; a diameter of the blocking plate 401 is smaller than a diameter of the limiting plate 302 and the third communication hole 3021 is blocked by the blocking plate 401; and the blocking plate 401 abuts against a bottom of the limiting plate 302 in an initial state.

[0046] A protective shell 500 is provided, and a transparent plate 501 is arranged on a top of the protective shell 500, and a fourth communication hole 5011 is arranged on the transparent plate 501; and the connector 100 penetrates through a bottom wall of the protective shell 500 and is screwed with the protective shell 500.

[0047] In this embodiment, a limiting ring 3013 is fixed to an outer wall of a bottom of the lifting cylinder 301, and the limiting ring 3013 abuts against a bottom of the blocking ring 202 when the counterweight cylinder 303 moves upward by a distance, and the blocking ring 202 is misaligned with the second communication hole 3012.

[0048] Secondly, in this embodiment, a threaded groove 101 is arranged on a top of the connector 100; and a breathable film 600 is arranged on a bottom of the pressure relief cylinder 200, and the breathable film 600 is tightly abutted against a bottom wall of the threaded groove 101 when the pressure relief cylinder 200 is screwed.

[0049] In use, the protective shell 500 is fixed on the top of the storage tank 700. It is to be noted that the outer wall of the top wall of the protective shell 500 is integrally formed with a ring-shaped connecting ring (not labeled in the drawings), and the protective shell 500 is fixed on the storage tank 700 by means of bolts penetrating through the transparent plate 501 and the connecting ring. It is not difficult to understand that the bottom of the protective shell 500 extends into the interior of the storage tank 700. In addition, there is a gap between the outer wall of the protective shell 500 and the outer wall of the hollow connecting head 100 and the outer wall of the pressure relief cylinder 200, and a non-woven fabric bag containing silica desiccant is placed in the gap, so that moisture in the air entering the interior of the protective shell 500 can be absorbed, thereby avoiding the entry of moisture into the interior of the storage tank 700 when the interior and the exterior of the storage tank 700 are communicated. Of course, the non-woven fabric bag does not block the pressure relief hole 201. The pressure relief hole 201 is communicated with the exterior of the protective shell 500 through the fourth communication hole 5011 in the transparent plate 501.

[0050] Under normal circumstances, due to the self-gravity of the lifting cylinder 301 and the counterweight cylinder 303, the counterweight cylinder 303 is in the initial position, at which time the counterweight cylinder 303 abuts against the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 203, the shielding ring 202 shields the second communication hole 3012, and the interior of the storage tank 700 is isolated from the exterior. When the internal pressure of the storage tank 700 is higher than the external pressure due to external factors (such as temperature rise), the internal pressure of the storage tank 700 will generate an upward pushing force on the shielding plate 401, and the shielding plate 401 will generate an upward pushing force on the lifting cylinder 301 through the limiting plate 302. However, due to the influence of the self-gravity of the lifting cylinder 301 and the counterweight cylinder 303, the lifting cylinder 301 will not move at this time. As the internal pressure of the storage tank 700 gradually increases, the pushing force on the lifting cylinder 301 also gradually increases, and when the overpressure in the interior of the storage tank 700 reaches a certain value, the lifting cylinder 301 moves upward. After the lifting cylinder 301 moves upward by a certain distance, the shielding ring 202 and the second communication hole 3012 are misaligned (at this time, the second communication hole 3012 is located above the shielding ring 202), and the shielding ring 202 no longer shields the second communication hole 3012. The interior of the storage tank 700 is communicated with the exterior through the gap between the connecting head 100, the second communication hole 3012, the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 301 and the inner wall of the pressure relief cylinder 200, and the pressure relief hole 201, thereby releasing the overpressure in the interior of the storage tank 700. After the overpressure is released, the internal pressure of the storage tank 700 decreases, the counterweight cylinder 303 resets, and the shielding ring 202 shields the second communication hole 3012 again, isolating the interior of the storage tank 700 from the exterior.

[0051] When the negative pressure is formed inside the storage tank 700 (such as extracting the liquid in the storage tank 700), the pressure inside the storage tank 700 is lower than the outside, and the external pressure will generate a downward thrust on the counterweight 403, but the reset spring 404 has an upward thrust on the counterweight 403, so the counterweight 403 will not move at this time. As the internal pressure of the storage tank 700 gradually decreases, the thrust on the counterweight 403 also gradually increases, and when the negative pressure inside the storage tank 700 reaches a certain value, the counterweight 403 moves downward, the reset spring 404 is compressed, and the counterweight 403 drives the shutter plate 401 to move downward through the guide column 402. When the shutter plate 401 moves downward, the shutter plate 401 no longer blocks the third through hole, and the storage tank 700 inside communicates with the outside through the connecting head 100, the third through hole, the first communication hole 3011, the gap between the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 301 and the inner wall of the pressure relief cylinder 200, and the pressure relief hole 201, thereby releasing the negative pressure inside the storage tank 700. After the negative pressure is released, the pressure inside the storage tank 700 rises, the reset spring 404 stretches, the counterweight 403 resets, the shutter plate 401 abuts against the bottom of the limiting plate 302 again and blocks the third communication hole 3021, and the inside of the storage tank 700 is isolated from the outside. It should be noted that when the negative pressure is released, the external air enters the storage tank 700 through the air permeable film 600, which can filter out dust and other impurities in the air, thereby effectively preventing the material in the storage tank 700 from being contaminated.

[0052] The foregoing description of specific example embodiments of the present application is provided for the purpose of explanation and illustration. These descriptions are not intended to limit the application to the precise forms disclosed, and many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings. The example embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the application and its practical application, thereby enabling others skilled in the art to implement and utilize the application in various different example embodiments and with various different modifications and changes as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
