[0024] Working principle: The inner tank 19 is made of low-temperature resistant material and is directly used to contain LNG. The special material can adapt to the ultra-low temperature environment of LNG, effectively prevent low temperature from causing damage to the tank body and liquid leakage; the heat insulation material layer 18 is set as a high-vacuum multi-layer winding type heat insulation layer, which contains a metal reflecting layer and a spacing layer. The metal reflecting layer can reflect heat back, reducing the radiation transmission of heat; the spacing layer plays a role in isolating and supporting the metal reflecting layer, and also has certain heat insulation performance, preventing heat from being transmitted by conduction; the vacuum layer formed between the outer tank 1 and the inner tank 19 of the transport storage tank greatly reduces heat conduction and heat convection, and works together with the heat insulation material layer 18 to achieve high-efficiency heat insulation, reduce the gasification loss of LNG during transportation, and connect the connecting pipe three 12 between the inner wall of the outer tank 1 of the transport storage tank and the bottom inner wall of the heat insulation material layer 18.
