Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste gas treatment technology, and more specifically, to an LNG storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] LNG storage tanks are large containers used to store liquefied natural gas. Because LNG needs to be stored at extremely low temperatures, LNG storage tanks must have excellent insulation and structural strength to ensure safety and efficiency. Currently, most LNG storage tanks require cranes to lift and move them during transport. This method significantly increases the cost of relocation, and the tanks may fall during transport, potentially causing injury to workers. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide an LNG storage tank that can effectively solve the problem in the prior art where LNG storage tanks need to be lifted and moved by cranes during transportation. This method of movement greatly increases the cost of movement, and the storage tank may fall during the movement, which could easily cause injury to workers.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An LNG storage tank includes a tank body, a connecting frame fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tank body, and a rotating shaft rotatably installed on both sides of the connecting frame, with a rotating wheel sleeved at one end of each rotating shaft.

[0006] One side of the connecting frame is provided with a limiting component to restrict the position of the tank.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting component includes a lead screw, which is rotatably mounted between the two sides of the inner wall of the connecting frame. The lead screw has a moving block threaded on both sides of its body, and a first hinge is provided on the lower surface of each of the two moving blocks.

[0008] A lifting plate is slidably arranged inside the connecting frame. A second hinge is provided on both sides of the upper surface of the lifting plate. The first hinge and the second hinge are hinged together by a connecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, a crossbar is fixedly installed between the two sides of the inner wall of the connecting frame, and the two movable blocks are slidably disposed on both sides of the crossbar.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the lead screw passes through the connecting frame and is fixedly mounted with a rotating wheel.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the connecting frame is provided with grooves on both sides, and a slider is slidably arranged in each of the two grooves. The lifting plate is fixedly installed between the two sliders.

[0012] A slide rod is fixedly installed between the two inner walls of the two slide grooves, and the two sliders are respectively slidably disposed on one side of the corresponding slide rod.

[0013] Preferably, a number of anti-slip plates are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the lifting plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) By setting up rotating wheels, when the staff applies a pulling force to the tank, the tank and the connecting frame move under the rotation of the rotating wheels. After moving to the appropriate position, the staff controls the screw to rotate. The rotating screw drives the moving block to move along the horizontal bar by screwing in. Under the cooperation of the first hinge, the second hinge and the connecting plate, the lifting plate descends, so that the lifting plate can fit tightly with the ground, thereby completing the limit of the tank. Therefore, the staff does not need to lift the tank, reducing safety hazards and making the movement process quick. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an LNG storage tank includes a tank body 1, a connecting frame 2 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the tank body 1, and a rotating shaft 3 is rotatably installed on both sides of the connecting frame 2. A rotating wheel 4 is sleeved on one end of the shaft of each rotating shaft 3.

[0024] A limiting component 5 is provided on one side of the connecting frame 2 to limit the position of the tank 1.

[0025] The limiting component 5 includes a lead screw 501, which is rotatably installed between the two sides of the inner wall of the connecting frame 2. The lead screw 501 has a moving block 502 threaded on both sides of its body, and the lower surface of the two moving blocks 502 is provided with a first hinge 503.

[0026] A lifting plate 504 is slidably installed inside the connecting frame 2. A second hinge 505 is provided on both sides of the upper surface of the lifting plate 504. A connecting plate 506 is hinged together between the first hinge 503 and the second hinge 505.

[0027] A crossbar 6 is fixedly installed between the two sides of the inner wall of the connecting frame 2, and two movable blocks 502 are slidably set on both sides of the crossbar 6.

[0028] By setting up a rotating wheel 4, when the worker applies a pulling force to the tank 1, the tank 1 and the connecting frame 2 move under the rotation of the rotating wheel 4. After moving to the appropriate position, the worker controls the screw 501 to rotate. The rotating screw 501 drives the moving block 502 to move along the direction of the crossbar 6 by screwing in. Under the cooperation of the first hinge 503, the second hinge 505 and the connecting plate 506, the lifting plate 504 descends, so that the lifting plate 504 can fit tightly with the ground, thereby completing the limitation of the tank 1. The worker does not need to lift the tank 1, reducing safety hazards and making the movement process quick.

[0029] In another embodiment of this utility model, one end of the lead screw 501 passes through the connecting frame 2 and is fixedly mounted with a rotating wheel 7.

[0030] By setting the rotating wheel 7, it is convenient for the staff to rotate the lead screw 501.

[0031] In another embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the connecting frame 2 is provided with grooves 8 on both sides, and sliders 9 are slidably arranged in both grooves 8. The lifting plate 504 is fixedly installed between the two sliders 9.

[0032] Two slide bars 10 are fixedly installed between the two inner walls of the two slide grooves 8, and two sliders 9 are respectively slidably set on one side of the corresponding slide bar 10.

[0033] The limiting effect of slider 9 and slide 8 enables the lifting plate 504 to rise and fall stably, avoiding deviation in the lifting direction.

[0034] In another embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of anti-slip plates 11 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the lifting plate 504.

[0035] By setting anti-slip pads 11, the friction between the lifting plate 504 and the ground is increased, thereby improving the limiting effect.

[0036] The working principle of this type of LNG storage tank:

[0037] In use, by setting up rotating wheels 4, when the operator applies pulling force to the tank 1, the tank 1 and the connecting frame 2 move under the rotation of the rotating wheels 4. After moving to the appropriate position, the operator controls the screw 501 to rotate. The rotating screw 501 drives the moving block 502 to move along the direction of the crossbar 6 by screwing in. Under the cooperation of the first hinge 503, the second hinge 505 and the connecting plate 506, the lifting plate 504 descends, so that the lifting plate 504 can fit tightly with the ground, thereby completing the limitation of the tank 1. The operator does not need to lift the tank 1, reducing safety hazards and making the movement process quick.

[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
