[0026] When the size of the mouth 3 needs to be adjusted, the motor 7 installed in the box body 6 on the side of the storage tank 1 is started, the lead screw 8 fixedly installed at the output shaft end of the motor 7 starts to rotate, since the vertical plate 9 slidingly arranged in the box body 6 is threadedly connected with the lead screw 8, the rotation of the lead screw 8 will drive the vertical plate 9 to move linearly in the box body 6, the movable rod 5 end part is fixedly installed with the vertical plate 9 side edge, and the storage tank 1 and the baffle 2 all are commonly slidingly arranged with the movable rod 5 of uniform distribution, the other end of the movable rod 5 is fixedly installed with the adjusting plate 4 side edge, so the movement of the vertical plate 9 can be transmitted to the adjusting plate 4 through the movable rod 5, so that the adjusting plate 4 slides on the mouth 3, thereby realizing the adjustment of the size of the mouth 3.

[0027] When the local pressure in the storage tank 1 is too high or too low, the motor 7 can be controlled to act, the size of the mouth 3 is adjusted, the natural gas is more evenly distributed in the storage tank 1, the abnormal pressure condition is relieved, the mouth 3 is completely closed, not only can improve the stability of natural gas in various storage environments, but also can reduce the natural evaporation during natural gas storage, significantly improve the safety and stability of storage.

[0028] The top surface of the baffle 2 is inclined to the direction of the mouth 3.

[0029] The top surface of the partition plate 2 is inclined towards the opening 3, which helps the natural gas to flow naturally in the tank, and finally distributes in the whole storage tank 1, optimizes the flow path of the gas, reduces the possibility of natural gas retention and local accumulation in the tank, and improves the storage efficiency and uniform distribution of natural gas.

[0032] Temperature sensors are arranged on the outer wall and the inner wall of the storage tank 1;

[0033] When the temperature sensors on the outer wall and the inner wall of the storage tank 1 monitor that the storage temperature is high, the opening 3 is completely closed to reduce the evaporation of natural gas and improve the safety and stability of storage.

[0034] A controller is arranged on the box body 6, and the controller is electrically connected with the motor 7 and the temperature sensor;

[0035] The controller can automatically control the motor 7, and then automatically control the adjustment of the opening 3.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] In the natural gas storage device, the tank body is used for storing compressed natural gas, and the storage tank 1 is fixedly installed with uniformly distributed partition plates 2, and the partition plates 2 are provided with openings 3, which can strengthen the rigidity of the whole storage tank 1 without affecting the storage of natural gas.

[0038] When it is necessary to adjust the size of the opening 3, the motor 7 installed in the box body 6 on the side of the storage tank 1 is started, the screw rod 8 fixedly installed at the output shaft end of the motor 7 starts to rotate, because the vertical plate 9 slidingly arranged in the box body 6 is threadedly connected with the screw rod 8, the rotation of the screw rod 8 drives the vertical plate 9 to move linearly in the box body 6, the movable rods 5 are fixedly installed at the side edges of the vertical plate 9, and the movable rods 5 are slidingly arranged on the storage tank 1 and the partition plates 2, and the other ends of the movable rods 5 are fixedly installed at the side edges of the adjusting plates 4, so the movement of the vertical plate 9 can be transmitted to the adjusting plates 4 through the movable rods 5, so that the adjusting plates 4 slide on the openings 3, thereby adjusting the size of the openings 3.

[0039] When the local pressure in the storage tank 1 is too high or too low, the motor 7 can be controlled to act, adjust the size of the opening 3, make the natural gas in the storage tank 1 more evenly distributed, relieve the abnormal pressure situation, and completely close the opening 3. Not only can improve the stability of natural gas in various storage environments, but also can reduce the natural evaporation of natural gas during storage, significantly improve the safety and stability of storage;

[0040] Wherein,

[0041] The top surface of the partition plate 2 is inclined towards the opening 3, which helps the natural flow of natural gas in the tank body, finally distributes in the whole storage tank 1, optimizes the flow path of the gas, reduces the possibility of natural gas retention and local accumulation in the tank, improves the storage efficiency and the uniform distribution of natural gas;
