Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixing tank technology, specifically a natural gas mixing tank. Background Technology
[0002] Natural gas refers to all gases that exist naturally in nature, including gases formed by various natural processes in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere (including oilfield gas, gas field gas, mud volcano gas, coalbed methane, and biogenic gas, etc.).
[0003] According to patent authorization announcement number CN220082798U, a vehicle-mounted storage tank for mixed natural gas includes a vehicle-mounted storage tank, a float-type level gauge inside the tank, a level gauge display on the tank to display the level value, and a pressure gauge on the tank to display the pressure inside the tank. The data from the level gauge display and the pressure gauge are transmitted to an in-vehicle display screen via a data transmission line. This invention is convenient and quick to use. It allows for gas supply to the engine through a gas phase vent pipe when the vehicle is first started. After the engine's circulating hot water reaches a temperature above 60 degrees Celsius, gas is supplied through a liquid phase vent pipe. Heat exchange occurs through a pressure reducing valve, allowing the mixed natural gas to fully vaporize after absorbing heat, forming a gaseous state for engine combustion, resulting in highly complete combustion of the mixed natural gas.
[0004] However, existing natural gas mixing tanks are prone to vibration and bumps during transportation due to uneven road surfaces, which can affect the stability of the tank installation and even cause the tank to explode. In addition, the mixing tank is easily broken and damaged when it is hit by a collision, and it is also easily exposed to the sun during transportation, all of which affect the service life and performance of the mixing tank. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 A natural gas mixing tank includes an outer tank body 1, a support base 2 fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer tank body 1, a plurality of connecting blocks 3 fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer tank body 1, and an inner tank body 4 fixedly connected to one end of the connecting blocks 3. The inner tank body 4 increases the overall strength of the tank body. When the outer tank body 1 is damaged, the inner tank body 4 is not damaged, so it will not affect the use effect. Moreover, the outer tank body 1 plays a role in wrapping and protecting the inner tank body 4. The inner tank body 4 is located inside the outer tank body 1, and the connecting blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the inner tank body 4. A base mechanism 5 is provided at the lower end of the support base 2, and a cover mechanism 6 is provided on the outer side of the outer tank body 1.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5The base mechanism 5 includes a base plate 51. The lower end of the support base 2 is fixedly connected to the base plate 51. The base plate 51 is slidably connected to the base 52. The base 52 has a buffer groove 53. The base plate 51 is slidably connected inside the buffer groove 53. Anti-detachment grooves 54 are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the base plate 51. Anti-detachment blocks 55 are slidably connected inside the anti-detachment grooves 54. The connection between the base plate 51 and the base 52 is limited by the slidable connection between the anti-detachment grooves 54 and the anti-detachment blocks 55, preventing them from separating without affecting the up and down buffering operation of the base plate 51. The anti-detachment blocks 55 are fixedly connected to the upper left and right sides of the base 52 respectively. The anti-detachment blocks 55 are set inside the buffer grooves 53. Multiple limiting blocks 56 are connected, and multiple limiting holes 57 are opened in the base plate 51. The sliding insertion of the limiting blocks 56 and the limiting holes 57 is limited by the connection between the anti-detachment groove 54 and the anti-detachment block 55 to prevent the limiting blocks 56 from separating from the limiting holes 57. The limiting blocks 56 are slidably inserted into the inside of the limiting holes 57. A spring 58 is slidably sleeved on the limiting blocks 56. The spring 58 is limited by the sliding insertion of the limiting blocks 56 and the limiting holes 57 to prevent the spring 58 from bending and deforming and affecting its use. The spring can be used with a damper, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail. The upper end of the spring 58 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the base plate 51, and the lower end of the spring 58 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface inside the buffer groove 53.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 The cover mechanism 6 includes protrusions 61. Multiple protrusions 61 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the outer side of the outer tank 1. A left cover plate 62 and a right cover plate 63 are fixedly connected to one end of the protrusions 61. The left cover plate 62 and the right cover plate 63 are respectively snapped into the left and right ends of the outer side of the outer tank 1. A top cover 64 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer side of the outer tank 1. The top cover 64 is located on the upper end of the left cover plate 62 and the right cover plate 63.
[0026] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the entire device can be fixed on the transport vehicle by installing the base 52 on the transport vehicle. During transportation, due to bumps, the bottom plate 51 and the base 52 will vibrate up and down. The vibration will be reduced by the action of the spring 58. At the same time, the anti-detachment groove 54 and the anti-detachment block 55 move up and down, and the limiting block 56 and the limiting hole 57 move up and down to connect, thereby forming a buffer and shock absorption function to provide buffer and shock absorption protection for the outer tank 1.
[0027] The inner tank 4 increases the overall robustness of the tank. When the outer tank 1 is damaged, the inner tank 4 remains intact, so it does not affect the performance. Moreover, the outer tank 1 provides a protective enclosure for the inner tank 4. The protrusion 61 connects the left cover plate 62 and the right cover plate 63. The left cover plate 62 and the right cover plate 63 respectively protect the left and right sides of the outer tank 1, preventing external objects from directly colliding with the left and right sides of the outer tank 1, thereby reducing the impact on the outer tank 1 during a collision.
[0028] 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.
